Chapter 285 - Arrival of the Dwarves
The people of Goldfish Island had set up many lookouts around the island so they would be aware of when the dwarves arrived.
The old and the young had already been moved to the cave they had dug a few days ago. Even if the dwarves searched the entire island, they would have difficulty finding the entrance to the cave.
Though they did not dare take this lightly, as they were in mortal danger.
The able men of the tribe were prepared for war. After many days of cultivation and training, they were filled with battle spirit.
Goldfish Island was not large, so when the lookouts rushed back to confirm the dwarf army’s location, the warriors rushed over. They set up a full defensive formation, so no matter which direction the enemy came from, they had great geographical advantage.
Long Chen followed the crowd. Because he was worried about Ling Xi, he let her follow him and did not put her with the rest of the islanders in the cave.
He only trusted himself and Xiaolang to protect her.
There were about three hundred warriors on Goldfish Island laying in the hills. The lake was just ahead. They could see the dwarves’ large boats heading for their island. Vulgar, violent laughter rang across the lake, piercing through the misty air. The islanders’ chests tightened.
Long Chen and Xiaolang stood in front, their expressions not as anxious as those of the other warriors. The chief, Chen Feng, and his son, Chen Lei, were also with them.
Chen Lei had disliked Long Chen from the moment they met and still felt like Chen Feng was too nice to him. However, Long Chen had not caused any trouble so far, so Chen Lei, while remaining suspicious, could not say anything.
“We’ll see who kills more enemies later. Some people seem good but are not actually capable. Do you really think you can compete against a Heavenly River Realm cultivator with more than twenty years experience like me?” Chen Lei said when he saw the calm Long Chen.
“Of course you’ll have a higher kill count, Brother Chen Lei. I’m so young; how could I compare to you?” said Long Chen with a smile.
He couldn’t care less about arguing with this stupid donkey.
Long Chen saw the battle spirit and violence in every islander’s eyes. Although they knew that the enemy was strong, they did not show a single hint of fear. He was truly amongst people with absolutely no fear of death.
“Men, the words ‘surrender’ and ‘holding back’ do not exist in our vocabularies. The dwarves are vicious. If Goldfish Island is conquered by them, we, along with our children and grandchildren, will live under their tyranny and suffer, living lives like dogs ...”
Chen Feng’s brows were deeply furrowed. He paused, then he continued in a sorrowful but heroic tone, “To prevent our children and women from enduring such humiliation, no one shall back down from this battle! This land is the most precious gift from our ancestors. We have lived on Goldfish Island for generations, and today she is in danger! The success of this battle depends on whether you men are afraid of death!
“Remember this: if you kill one, it’s worth it! If you kill two, you’re making a profit! If you kill ten, you’re making a fucking fortune!”
The usually stern and reserved Chen Feng let out a rare cuss word to lighten the anxious mood. The crowd grew even more motivated.
“Old Chen, didn’t you say there would be Second River Stage cultivators?” Long Chen asked.
“Yes ... Maybe they didn’t come today? But that’s impossible; they operate together!” Chen Feng was puzzled too.
“Father, let’s not worry about that. It’s good that they’re not here. With four Heavenly River Realm cultivators, us three plus the demon wolf are just enough to deal with them! As long as we kill these four, everything else will be much easier. Even if the two Second River Stage cultivators arrive, we can all fight them together, right?” Chen Lei said decisively.
He had weighed the strengths of both sides and decided that the best solution was to shorten the time spent fighting as much as possible.
“Chen Lei is right. Let’s move.” Based on the dwarves’ words and expressions, Long Chen could tell that there was not a single good person there. Only death was punishment enough for these evil scum.
“Let’s move!” commanded Chen Feng.
“Wait. Only we move. Everyone else stays.” When Long Chen saw that Chen Feng was about to command everyone to attack, he hurriedly intervened.
“Why?” Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
“Old Chen, the outcome of a battle mostly depends on the fight between the strongest figures of the army. If we let everyone attack, it will only increase the number of casualties. Why don’t we just make them send their leaders?” Long Chen gave a small smile.
“That is easy to say, but tough to execute,” said Chen Lei, pursing his lips, as if unimpressed by Long Chen.
Long Chen couldn’t be bothered with his opinion though.
The dwarves had been waiting for a long time. When they realized that the islanders weren’t going to hand them any pretty girls or riches, they looked at each other and burst into laughter, chattering in their strange language. The only thing an onlooker could confirm was that their expressions had gotten more insane.
“Well, let the killing begin, then!” said one of the Heavenly River Realm cultivators.
That was when three figures shot out towards them, quickly arriving in front of the dwarves. The dwarves were surprised to see three Heavenly River Realm cultivators, but when they thought of how they outnumbered the islanders, their confidence returned and one of them demanded haughtily, “You three! Are you here to deliver us your riches and girls? Give us the riches. Where are the girls?”
“My apologies. We’re not here to give you pretty girls; we’re here to send you to hell! I wonder, do the Heavenly River Realm cultivators of the dwarf tribe have the guts to fight the Heavenly River Realm cultivators of Goldfish Island alone?” Long Chen said without a hint of reverence.
“Oh, you guys are here looking for death.” When the dwarves understood Long Chen’s intention, they burst into laughter once more. Very soon, four dwarf Heavenly River Realm cultivators stepped forward. One of them said darkly, “It looks like you’re challenging us to a fight, brat. But there are only three of you and four of us. How is that enough?”
“Who said there are only three of us?” Long Chen dropped Xiaolang from his arms. When he landed, his body slowly expanded and the killing aura from his body intensified.
“Earth-tier demonic beast?” The dwarves were pleasantly surprised and grinned. “Haha! With the carcass of an Earth-tier beast, we’ll get to live good for many days!”
Even with the presence of an Earth-tier beast, the dwarves clearly did not take Long Chen and his group seriously.
