After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

But no matter how speechless it is, since Tafia's house has been destroyed, they might really use this village as a base for their activities in the future.

Even if it is to prevent your home from being robbed when you go out, or for the sake of your blood pressure, it is necessary to strengthen the combat effectiveness of this mob.

He shook his head.

"You can't do that. The orcs' fighting style is too simplistic. They focus on using size and sheer brute force to overwhelm the opponent. Those who are not big enough or strong enough simply can't learn it."

As he spoke, Aize picked up a wooden stick from the side, fiddled with it for a few times, and said:

"If you don't mind, I'll teach you."

Groot blinked:

"You're coming? But Mr. Ain, this is too much trouble for you. How can we feel comfortable doing this?"

"It doesn't matter. At this point, it doesn't matter whether you or us. The most important thing is to avoid any of the same things that happened before. But before we start, I need to check on their situation first."

"It's easy to talk about."

Grote turned to the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Everyone, stop! Mr. Ain said he wants to teach us how to fight!"

Aize, who was standing next to him, felt a pain in his ears from the noise.

With this sound, all eyes turned to this side.

After all, it was Grote who gave the order, and after a brief discussion, they all gathered together.

At first glance, they seemed to be loose and sloppy, and their postures were not even correct, and their conditions varied greatly.

There are better ones, those who are strong like Groot.

Some were almost so weak that they could hardly swing the sticks.

Aize frowned and sighed, then walked into the group and stopped in front of a hybrid.

asked:

"Uncle, how old are you this year?"

"What!? What did you say!?"

The half-breed being questioned was white-haired and skinny, and he stretched his ears to try to hear what Aize was saying.

There was laughter all around.

Aize looked at Groot and said frantically:

"You're planning to train someone like this as a combatant?!"

Groot scratched his head embarrassedly:

"It's all based on personal willingness. We accept everyone who comes..."

Amidst another burst of laughter, Aize's face gradually turned purple.

He looked around and came to another half-blood, leaned down, put on a kind smile and asked:

"Little boy, how old are you this year?"

The mixed-race child who was asked blinked innocently:

"Big brother, I am nine years old."

Aize cast another death stare at Groot:

"You guys... why play child soldiers when there's nothing else to play?!"

"Uh... In my old orc tribe, they emphasized training warriors from a young age. They called it... a promising future. Yeah, a promising future..."

Aize really wanted to grab his ears and punch this idiot twice, to vent his anger and make him forget what he had just said.

Aize rarely regrets anything, but now, he really wants to take back what he just said.

Villian also sighed and came over, holding her forehead, pulling him aside and whispering:

"You're getting yourself into trouble again. These guys aren't your knights. They don't even have basic discipline. I don't doubt you can do it, but how much effort will it take?"

Aize sighed and looked at her with a look of despair:

"You think it'll work? I don't think so."

"...So you're still like this?"

"What else can I do? This is the only material I can find. If not, I have to fix it!!!"

After saying that, Aize gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted to the crowd:

"Everyone under 15 and over 40, get out of the line and go do what you need to do! The rest of you, line up and pass in front of me one by one!"

Get rid of the old, weak, sick and disabled first.

This group of people will not be of any use in the battle against enemies like slave traders, and may even distract others and become a burden.

As for the remaining people, it does not mean that they can start training directly.

The demon race is an extremely complex concept, and two species of demons may not be the same thing at all.

The thirteen leaders represent only the largest and most powerful races, and there are countless small and insignificant races.

This is also reflected in mixed-race species, where there are huge differences between different individuals.

Depending on their individual bloodlines, their strengths and weaknesses are completely different, and they have to be further divided into groups.

This is the first step to take, much more important than waving a stick around.

This extremely unfriendly and rude order naturally caused a commotion among the crowd.

"Why? We have to protect our village too!"

"Give us a chance, we can do it! Please, big brother!"

……

"Since when did it become your turn to give orders here? Enough with the humans!"

“That’s right, this is our village!”

The original trend was normal, but under the instigation of some extreme figures, the direction of the topic quickly deviated, and the atmosphere gradually developed towards chaos and became increasingly unfriendly.

Aize folded his hands in dissatisfaction, thinking about which typical cases to catch and use as an example to scare the monkeys.

Then--

"What are you doing?"

A girl's voice came from the direction of the forest.

It was Alicia who came back with Anna. She seemed to have rushed over after hearing the commotion here.

The half-breeds who had been causing the trouble were overjoyed and quickly surrounded the place, talking in low voices.

Standing at Aize's position, I couldn't hear clearly what was said, but judging from his excited expression, he was definitely exaggerating what had just happened and throwing dirty water on Aize.

Aize looked quietly at Alicia, whose expression became increasingly serious. He did not rush to speak, and he also held down Villian, who had started to chant a spell because of excessive anger.

After a moment, Alicia shook her head. The smile on her face was gone, and she even looked a little angry.

"No, it's impossible. Ain can't be that kind of person!"

The half-bloods who had reported the incident looked at each other in bewilderment, clearly not having anticipated this situation. They still tried to struggle:

"But, Alicia, he's different from us, he's a human!"

"That's right, he helped us before, but who knows what bad things he has planned?"

"Why not take this opportunity to..."

thump—

There was a dull thud, and the half-blood who had spoken was hit hard in the face by Alicia.

The force was so strong that he spun half a circle in the air before falling to the ground. His scaly face became red and swollen, his nose was bleeding, and even a tooth was knocked out.

He covered his face in surprise and stared at Alicia:

"You, you actually hit your comrades for a human?!"

"I……"

The pink-haired girl stared blankly at the bloody fist, as if this was beyond her expectations.

But she didn't waste any more time talking to them, and didn't even look at them. Alicia walked straight to Aize and bowed deeply:

"Ain, I'm so sorry! My compatriots were rude! This is absolutely not the intention of this village. Please forgive them!"

Such an attitude left the other half-breeds who were making trouble dumbfounded.

Before, the reason why he dared to stir up trouble after being dealt with was simply because he relied on Alicia's strength and her usual protective character.

But now, even Alicia was like this, so they naturally didn't dare to have any attitude anymore. They all lowered their heads obediently and no one said anything.

Bully the weak and fear the strong, arrogant at first but respectful later.

They keep saying that humans bully them and therefore they cannot be trusted, but one by one they follow suit and do all these negative things.

It's really ridiculous when you think about it.

But for Alicia's sake, Aize didn't intend to argue with them.

He smiled and nodded:

"Okay, it's okay. It's just that if this combat training continues like this, there's no way we can proceed. What do you think we should do?"

Alicia thought for a moment, her expression serious, and she lowered her head deeply:

"If Ain is willing to help us, then please! Please follow your own ideas, Ain. I trust Ain absolutely!"

Chapter 100 A Different Night

As a village with a short history and complex structure, there is no such figure as a village chief, and Alicia actually plays a similar role.

Therefore, her words carry great weight.

It is much more powerful than the ferocious Groot.

As for her fellow villagers, Alicia had a very good temper. It was said that in the past, she had never been truly angry with anyone in the village.

Therefore, this iron-fist sanction in front of so many people had an unexpectedly good deterrent effect.

Coupled with the statement of "absolute trust" in Aize, things went smoothly all of a sudden. Even after Alicia left, no one dared to jump out and cause trouble again.

Of course, this does not mean that the problem is solved.

Extreme anti-human factions among hybrids still exist and may even become more radical in the future.

But that's for later.

In short, Aize completed the personnel inventory work relatively smoothly.

The personnel situation was even more chaotic than expected. By the time everyone was filtered, it was already dark and everyone could only go home temporarily.

Lighting an oil lamp, Aize sat at the table in the cabin and wrote something.

"This way, over there... um... this way is better..."

thump—

There was a faint clinking sound, and a steaming teacup was placed beside him.

He raised his head and found that Villian had come to his side without him noticing.

"Thank you."

Aize picked up the cup, smelled it, frowned, took a sip, and asked curiously:

"Is this... black tea? Did you bring it from the house?"

"Yes."

Villian nodded, holding a similar cup in her hand.

Although the two of them didn't seem to have much luggage, they actually put all their belongings in the storage space constructed by Villian using space magic.

This is how I carried the sleeping bag, cooking pot and ingredients I used when camping.
