Black Witch Log-in

83. Attack from the River

One day passed after Estrid's departure, the villagers were doing their usual day-to-day activities.

The lives of the goats are much better now, besides they can graze at will in the underground fields, they also enjoy hot springs like humans.

But that does not mean they live lazily in the midst of humans who continue to work hard to build villages.

The goats are used by residents for various purposes, some are used for farms, transporters, mounts and so on.

The king of goats does not dispute what man does to his flock, as long as none of them is eaten.

Maybe for now all that does not matter because the villagers are still not too interested in goat dagi.

The construction of the bridge went faster because of the help of the goats used as material-carrying grips.

The children of Estrid's disciples rode goats to patrol and hunt. In a short time the goats can be a very useful part of the lives of the citizens.

“It looks like the bridge will be finished soon.”

“True, maybe we only need two more weeks to complete the rest of the bridge.”

“I can't wait to see the port city, it's been five years no.”

“Think if this village will be revived, I think it was just a dream, but look now the dream is in sight to materialize.”

“This meeting is because miss Estrid.”

“True.”

Hektor overheard a conversation between the workers who were building the bridge. He thought back to his plan after the bridge was completed.

The young man who works as a village security thought he would marry his lover Sania at the temple in the port city if the bridge was completed.

A simple plan that he could almost come up with. Until suddenly...

Embeeek!

The goats, which were being used as a tug-of-war, suddenly stopped and bleated violently, some looking down at the river. The workers were confused by what the goats were doing.

“What do you see my friend?.” asked a worker who then looked into the river.

The worker was very surprised to see what he saw. “Fish people, fish people come!.” he shouted. Hearing that the curious workers looked into the river and sure enough tens or even hundreds of fish were swimming towards the surface.

A fast spear shot towards one of the jobs staring at the river, but before it hit its target Hektor immediately pulled the worker from behind.

“Huwaaa!.” The worker cried out in panic as he almost lost his life.

“Everybody out of the river!.” Hektor who knew that this was an attack from fishmen immediately asked the workers to leave the bridge.

The unfinished bridge is 460 meters long. The workers running for their lives are being terrorized by fish-men trying to attack from the water.

One fishman jumped out of the water and threw his trident at a worker, but it was fortunate for him that Hektor swiftly repelled the trident with his spear.

Then the trident that was fended off immediately Hektor returned it to its owner with a throw so strong that one fish man died just like that.

Along the road to the Hektor riverbank continued to try to protect the workers. The longer the attacks of the fishmen intensified, the dozens of monsters were trying hard to kill them.

But lucky when Hektor almost sweated because of the many attacks that came, from the river bank of the goat rider troops provide assistance.

“As the master Estrid was worried about, the fish man did attack.” Jara said.

The children who had obtained training from Estrid easily fought the fish-men.

But because the number of opponents that are too much and the lack of information makes them not intend to fight fish humans, but only focus on saving the workers.

“Hector, what happened?.” asked Herka after seeing many residents coming to the fields with anxious faces.

“The fishmen that Estrid had previously caught, they attacked with a large army. Surface village they have mastered now.” reply Hektor.

Hearing the news made everyone in the fields panic. But Herka who was the leader of the village tried to make them calm.

“Estrid has made a strong protective gate in every goa driveway. We're safe from those monsters in this cave.”

The residents calmed down after hearing Herka's words. And it is true as the old woman said, the two main roads that connect the cave, the river channel and the entrance of the cave, have now been closed tightly with an iron door.

Everyone was asked to temporarily stay inside the cave, meanwhile those who could fight like Hektor and disciple Estrid began to prepare to put up a fight against the fish monsters that were currently taking over their village.

The counterattack plan was made so mature that night fell. The residents gathered in the flower fields did not feel worried because they believed that they would be fine in the cave.

In the middle of the meeting, Sania suddenly gets a message from Estrid that she is telling if she is on top of Mount Frieg and almost through the clouds while climbing.

The news certainly made everyone happy because Estrid who did not give any news for two days was enough to make everyone worried.

“Look, I will show you the real sky on lalian.” said Estrid with pride.

Sania also took the initiative to gather all residents to watch the moment together. They did not tell anything about the fish attack that now controlled the village, everyone just did not want Estrid to be worried and disrupt the journey.

In the Lunar Tear flower fields, all the citizens gathered to witness the amazing scenery.

The clear night sky with countless stars was dazzling.

Everyone was shedding tears, for years they had been living in such a cold darkness. No one thought that one day they would have any hope of seeing the sky again.

But all of that happened today thanks to a woman they had considered a hero.

As the night went on, the sun began to reveal itself from the cakeawal. Although only see it from the video player but as if everyone can feel the warmth of the light.

The video call from Estrid ended after that. Everyone fell into silence after the video ended. Until Hektor said.

“We must clean the village to welcome the return of Estrid.”

The words of Hektor burned the fire of spirit within the citizens. Many people wanted to join the resistance. Seeing the spirit of the citizens made Hektor sure if they would easily defeat the colonization of fish people.

A few hours after the preparations, Hektor brought hundreds of soldiers from the cave entrance to the village. Meanwhile another team led by Sania used a second line, waiting in the underground waterway.

As Hektor's forces attacked the fishmen from the front, the second army immediately made an impromptu attack.

The number of fish man reached five hundred while the army of villagers was only as many as forty humans. But a mature strategy that goes well makes the fish human troops confused so they are easily defeated.

But in the middle of the big match suddenly the sky rained down on the entire land with a rain of lightning, then a loud roar sounded continuously.

Everyone's soul was terrified from the Auman's voice, as if a dragon was raging in the sky.

“Master is undergoing the test.” said Priska who is currently riding a goat.

Hearing the girl's words made every citizen immediately know what happened. They all knew what the exam was.

The terrifying test that seemed so impossible was completed by an ordinary human. Many of the stories circulated by the disciples of Estrid, all of them sound so great that they feel too exaggerated.

But for people who witnessed firsthand how Estrid through the test that the gods gave her, they actually assumed that the story told by the disciples of Estrid was too simple.
