The God's Games

Chapter 106: Rescue The Townspeople (Part 2)

Butch thought that if he could get close to the center of the world's changes, it might be interesting to see who was behind all this and witness the world's transformation firsthand.

The players ignored Butch's questions.

They didn't want to explain their existence to an NPC.

They decided to take the boss back to Ulon Town and let Father Barry handle the rest.

Master PungPong didn't mind at all.

After seeing Butch finish transforming into a dragon and getting trapped by vines, he suddenly realized something and made a fist with his right hand, exclaiming, "I get it! Are you planning to make him work in the factory?"

Pork Rib Boss scratched his cheek and said, "You figured it out? Flower Deer mentioned that burning coal is dirty and causes a lot of pollution. When I saw the boss's dragon breath earlier, I thought maybe he could be used in the factory to solve the burning problem."

Master PungPong gave him a thumbs up and said, "That's brilliant, man! Making a dragon into a fire worker—you're definitely the first to come up with something like this."

Butch couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Wait a minute! Explain to me, what do you mean by making me a fire worker? What is this supposed to mean?"

However, no one paid attention to what he was saying.

The players searched around for a bit, found a cart in the camp that looked like it had been taken from someone else, placed Butch on it, and dragged him away from the bandit camp.

Earlier, Flower Deer and Spicy Flavor Fairy had gone to the back mountain.

When the captured residents of Ulon Town saw them, they were very frightened and thought they were with the bandits.

It wasn't until Owell appeared and explained everything to the town residents that they realized these people had come to save them.

Flower Deer broke the locks that were holding them and freed everyone.

The people of Ulon Town cautiously stepped out of the cells.

When they didn't see any of the vicious bandits around, they finally realized they were truly safe.

However, even though they knew this, their faces didn't look any better.

They still remembered how they ended up in the hands of the bandits in the first place—it was because they were fleeing from the approaching demon army that was about to reach Ulon Town.

At this point, could they really escape?

Even if they were rescued from the bandit camp, they still felt they couldn't escape the clutches of the demon army.

Flower Deer wanted to urge them to hurry back to Ulon Town because the town still needed these NPCs.

But when she noticed their troubled expressions, she realized that her task was not just about fighting monsters but also about solving the townspeople's issues.

Seeing their gloomy faces, Flower Deer directly asked, "What's wrong? Why is everyone so unhappy?"

A middle-aged man in a dirty gentleman's suit replied, "What's there to be happy about? Even if we're rescued, we won't survive. What's there to celebrate?"

"Exactly, exactly," everyone echoed, feeling that escaping from the cell was just a change of location to wait for death.

Flower Deer was puzzled and asked, "Why does everyone think they won't survive? Father Barry is waiting for you to return to Ulon Town."

The middle-aged man's expression changed and he said, "Return to Ulon Town? Do you expect us to walk right into our deaths? What about Father Barry? If he doesn't want to leave town, does he plan to drag us down with him?"

After he spoke, others quickly agreed with him.

Flower Deer noticed that the middle-aged man seemed to be the leader among the townspeople, and everyone seemed to listen to him.

This meant that if she could change his mind, the task would be much easier to complete.

From their conversation, Flower Deer quickly realized that these people, who had fled from Ulon Town, were still terrified of the approaching demon army.

After realizing they couldn't fight against the demons, they had already resigned themselves to the idea that they would soon die.

Understanding this, Flower Deer seized the moment and asked, "So, is it because of the demon army that you don't want to go back?"

The middle-aged man firmly replied, "Of course! If the demon army is coming, how could we possibly go back?"

Flower Deer said, "Then you must not know—our group has already wiped out the demon army. There's no need to worry about them hurting you anymore."

The middle-aged man frowned and widened his eyes, "What did you say?"

The demon army had been wiped out?

This statement sparked a lot of discussion among the townspeople, who began whispering to each other.

After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man firmly said, "That's impossible. You're lying to us—what are you trying to do?"

The middle-aged man then turned around to the people behind him and said, "Everyone, listen to me. The united defenses of all the nations have fallen to the demon army. How could these people have easily defeated them? They must have some hidden agenda."

As soon as the man said this, the townspeople began to change their minds, thinking he had a point.

They had fled because humans could no longer stop the demon army.

They were just trying to survive as long as they could.

If someone suddenly claimed they could defeat the demons, it was hard for them to believe.

Flower Deer hadn't expected that, even with her straightforward explanation, the NPCs would still be so difficult to convince.

She turned her head and quietly asked Owell behind her, "Do you know who he is?"

Owell whispered in her ear, "He's the mayor of Ulon Town, Mayor Herman."

Flower Deer raised an eyebrow.

That explained it—the townspeople naturally trusted him because of his position as mayor.

With just a few words, he had undone all her efforts, making things more complicated.
