Finally, the wild beasts began to attack the city. Everyone held their weapons and hid behind the city walls. The six meter tall city walls were like a death trap for the wild beasts outside the city. Countless wild beasts jumped onto the city walls and were stabbed to death by the spears. However, the wild beasts did not care and continued to charge towards the city walls.
The Hua family's Qi Refining Realm warriors did not make a move. The Hua family's defense on the city walls was impenetrable. It was too easy for the Qi Transforming Realm warriors to kill these wild beasts. After killing for two hours, there were still no signs of the wild beasts retreating. The Hua family could only send the second team to take over the defense, the third team to prepare, and the first team to rest.
Hua Kai was now at the Initial Element Stage 8. He had the [Purple Gold Ice Silkworm Armor] and normal wild beasts did not pose much of a threat to him. If not, he still had the [Family's Secret Territory] to hide. Therefore, he stayed on the city walls, which boosted the morale of the village guards.
"Captain Xue Pan, there are flying wild beasts coming in. Quickly stop them!"
A high level wild beast flew over the Hua family's archery defense. Hua Zichen hurriedly ordered Xue Pan to make a move. Now that Xue Pan was at the peak of the Qi Transforming Realm, his archery skills were comparable to others in the Hua family. He had already been appointed as the captain of a thirty man special team, specifically for emergencies.
Xue Pan's longbow was fully drawn and an arrow flew towards the high level wild beast in the sky. The wild beast flew over the city walls and fell from the sky. Seeing this, the preparatory team members on the city walls all let out cheers of victory.
"The wild beasts are moving. Everyone get ready!
Team three, quickly go up the city walls. "
At this time, Erzhuang had just killed a high level wild beast that had rushed up the city walls. He saw the wild beasts outside the city quickly approaching the city walls. The critical moment had arrived.
Hua Kai knew that his presence on the city walls would affect everyone's performance. He went down the city walls and gathered the ordinary villagers. If the village guards let any wild beasts in, then it would be time for the 600 ordinary villagers to act.
During the winter, all the men were unable to escape the fate of fighting against the desolate beasts. Even some of the women were prepared to fight against the desolate beasts when they entered the village.
Hua Kai saw a middle-level savage beast approaching the city wall. The Fifth Uncle, Hua Zichen, rushed up. Before it landed on the ground, a white light flashed from the [Silver Bright Spear]. The middle-level savage beast was killed before it could even reach the city wall. The pressure on the other village protection team members suddenly decreased.
Mid-level savage beasts were equivalent to humans in the Mortal Realm. The fact that Hua Zichen was able to kill a savage beast in the same realm in one move gave everyone a lot of confidence.
Hua Kai was anxiously waiting at the foot of the city wall. The first team of village protectors had already gone to the two sides of the city wall. Although the east and west sides of Fort Wah Ka were not suitable for the dire beasts to attack, they were not suitable for the dire beasts to attack.
However, there were still some dire beasts that were good at climbing that chose to break through from here. However, there were too few of them and they were not a threat to Fort Wah Ka.
The battle continued for another two hours. The village protection team had already started to suffer casualties. Everyone could only choose to release some low-level dire beasts to defend against high-level dire beasts. The ordinary villagers of Fort Wah Ka were all gathered at the foot of the city wall. When they saw the dire beasts coming in, they would rush up to kill them.
Hua Kai was killing the low-level dire beasts that entered the village while looking at the top of the city wall. Although the situation seemed tense, all the village protection team members were firmly guarding their positions. In just one morning, more than 4000 dire beasts had died within 10 meters of the city wall. It seemed that if they could hold on for a little longer, the dire beasts would have to give up.
Suddenly, Hua Kai saw his grandfather, Fifth Uncle, Yu Jun, and Wal-mart's housekeeper jumping out of the city wall and killing their way out of the village. Unknowingly, they had already killed more than 10 dire beasts in Fort Wah Ka. Only the last middle-level dire beast seemed to be trying to escape. Only then did the Qi Refining Realm warriors of the Hua family leave the city wall and chase after the middle-level dire beast.
The result was as expected. After 10 minutes, the last dire beast was killed. When all the dire beasts saw this scene, they began to flee in all directions. The Huajiabao City Gate was wide open. All the villagers chased after the dire beasts. Some of the village protection team members even jumped down from the 6 meter high city wall. The battle was won just like that.
Cheers could be heard from the village. All the women and children walked out into the streets. They held weapons in their hands and killed any dire beasts that were still alive.
This was the best time to train the courage and willpower of the children.
Hua Kai organized the villagers to collect all the dire beast corpses. The village protection team chased all the dire beasts two miles away and returned to the village. It was impossible for the dire beasts to gather together and attack on such a large scale again this year.
The battle ended with less than 10 casualties in Fort Wah Ka. More than half of the casualties were the village protection team members.
All the villagers in Fort Wah Ka spontaneously organized a celebration. They could finally celebrate the New Year in peace.
When the village protection team returned, there would naturally be people who would take care of the dire beasts' corpses. Hua Kai went to the spirit field. The spirit rice seedlings in the field were not damaged at all. He could not help but feel proud. The family's combat power was the most important factor for survival in this world. Now that the Hua family could easily survive the dire beast attack, the family would become more and more prosperous.
After calculating the merits, the dire beast meat was distributed.
Hua Kai distributed more than 200 gold to the families of the deceased and injured. Then, he visited the rest of the village elders. It was already night time.
Dozens of bonfires were lit in the training field, illuminating the entire sky.
The village protection team members had already set up the barbecue grill. Tonight, the Hua family was going to hold a grand bonfire party.
All the exquisite food was placed on the table, and jugs of freshly brewed wine were served. All the Fort Wah Ka villagers were in a festive mood.
Hua Kai secretly saw that the family's luck value had increased by more than 200 points in a day. The family's prosperity value and culture value had also increased. He smiled.
As the Hua family's combat power value continued to increase, it had now exceeded 500 points and reached 548 points. The Hua family's overall strength had also reached 1,826 points. The family's last loyalty value was 78 points. They were getting closer and closer to completing the fourth main mission.
When all the food was cooked and the wine was poured, Fort Wah Ka was enveloped by a strong aroma.
Hua Kai came to half of the dried spiritual cow and personally used a silver knife to cut pieces of it. He placed it in front of his grandfather, grandmother, mother, and more than 10 village elders.
Eating the dried spiritual cow would help the body absorb spiritual energy. The elderly and children would benefit a lot from eating it.
Hua Kai didn't want to sell it. He planned to put the remaining dried spiritual cow in the restaurant and let it become a signature dish of the Fort Wah Ka Restaurant. As long as the meat was preserved well, it wouldn't change its taste even after a few decades. The family would also gain a lot of prosperity.
Halfway through the bonfire party.
Hua Kai came to the center stage of the training field. When all the Fort Wah Ka members saw him, they instantly quieted down. Everyone stared at him, waiting for him to speak.
"Compared to last year, there are many new people in Fort Wah Ka this year.
Although many of you haven't been in the Hua family for long, the entire Hua family has become stronger because of you.
Many of the new villagers who came back from the grasslands have become important members of the Hua family. All of us have seen this.
However, some of the girls who came back from the grasslands have been bullied. This is also a fact. "
When Hua Kai said this, he saw that many of the old villagers couldn't help but lower their heads. Those who came back from the grasslands all had red faces. It turned out that the family head knew all of this.
"Some of you were slaves in the past. After coming to Fort Wah Ka, many of you have rebuilt your family. I am very happy about this.
However, the family now has more than 300 Household Servant or maids. You are all the most precious assets of the Hua family.
Today, I announce in the name of the family that all 243 Household Servant and 102 maids who came back from the grasslands have the right to enjoy the same treatment as the members of the Hua family. Qinggeertai, Jiri Gra, Bayard, Ba Tu, and the other 17 Qi Transformation Stage cultivators are given the title of Special Household Servant of the Hua family. Their positions are the same as the Hua family's retainers (Han Jinsheng, Hua Yue, Wei Hatou, and the others).
Bai Yin, Buhe, Arslan, Sukhbaru, and the other 21 people are the Hua family's First Grade Household Servant.
Burigud, Aratan, Meng En, and the other 53 people are the Second Grade Household Servant.
Barter, Bileg, Morigen, Che Chen, and the other 152 people are the Third Grade Household Servant.
The Special Household Servant's monthly salary is 1 gold. The First Grade Household Servant's monthly salary is 50 silver. The Second Grade Household Servant's monthly salary is 20 silver. The Third Grade Household Servant's monthly salary is 10 silver. "
Of all the slaves who came back from the grasslands, those who didn't become official members in the Hua family didn't receive any salary. Now that they had status and salary, they were considered true members of Fort Wah Ka. After the battle with the Desolate Beasts, it was believed that many of the old villagers saw the importance of these people. Taking advantage of this celebration, it was a great opportunity to make them official.
"Na Ren, Sa Ren, Ao Deng, and the other 8 maids are the First Grade Maids. Their monthly salary is the same as that of a First Grade Household Servant.
Ao Deng, Ge Rile, Ruqi Qi Ge, Qi Muge, and the other 32 maids are the Second Grade Maids. Their monthly salary is the same as that of a Second Grade Household Servant. Tana, Hasi, and the other 61 maids are the Third Grade Maids. Their monthly salary is the same as that of a Third Grade Household Servant. "
When Hua Kai said this, everyone knew that it would be more difficult to marry these girls who came back from the grasslands. Although Hua Kai didn't say that there would be special maids, but even the Third Grade Maids had a monthly salary of 10 silver taels. Would they easily fall in love with ordinary people?
One had to know that many families in the villages affiliated to the Hua family couldn't earn 10 silver taels in a year. Moreover, these girls were practicing the Hua family's martial arts and mental cultivation methods. They had already become members of the Hua family. They would have to get Hua Kai's approval before they could marry.
"Also, all the Household Servants and maids in Fort Wah Ka can apply to Wal-mart the butler if they want to be given the surname Hua. I will give you a name based on your performance!"
When they heard this, everyone present knew that from today onwards, there would be no more grassland slaves in Fort Wah Ka. Those who were given the surname Hua would be a true member of the Hua family.
After the banquet, the threat outside the village was gone. Hua Kai asked the village protection team to leave behind some night patrols. Everyone else could go home and have a good night's sleep.
Lying on the bed, Hua Kai silently chanted the [Family Secret Realm] in his heart. In an instant, he arrived at the family's secret realm.
