Seeing this situation, I was also filled with immense anger.
If only I hadn't lingered outside for so long. But since they dared to cause trouble on my territory, don't blame me for being ruthless!
This is the perfect opportunity to test just how powerful the Shepherd's Might truly is.
With that thought, I casually snapped off two twigs, broke them into small pieces, and flung them directly into the horde of savages.
At the same time, I scooped up a handful of sand and threw it towards the distant savages.
The moment the twigs hit the ground, they grew at an incredibly terrifying speed.
The spreading branches instantly pierced through several savages nearby.
My sand, enveloped by the Shepherd's Might, struck several savages, creating countless small holes in their bodies from which blood gushed.
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, the savages, who were just celebrating moments before, immediately panicked and frantically searched around.
Suddenly, one savage spotted my location, pointed in my direction, and yelled loudly.
Hearing the shout, the other savages simultaneously turned their gazes towards me, then charged at me with murderous intent!
I gripped the short sword in my hand, and an incredibly comforting sensation spread through every part of my body.
I felt as if my body was overflowing with terrifying power!
Without waiting for the savages to get close, I initiated the attack!
The short sword, glowing with green light, sliced through a savage's body.
That savage fell to the ground, his body split in two. Strangely, however, no blood flowed from the wound!
But I didn't have time to ponder this at the moment. The short sword in my hand swung ceaselessly. In my eyes, the speed of these savages was pathetically slow.
The weapons they swung at me seemed to be moving in slow motion.
I could easily dodge them and launch another attack.
One by one, these creatures were cut down by me, yet no blood flowed at the scene.
I paid them no mind and continued my assault.
All forty to fifty savages were brought down, and the others had already been mostly killed earlier.
Now, only four savages remained, terrified by the scene before them, collapsing on the ground, their bowels and bladders released.
I tied up the four savages and threw them on the ground. After sending a signal to Lin Chun, I squatted beside the savages I had just killed.
As far as I remembered, even when I used the Shepherd's Might to cover my weapons or condensed it into weapons to inflict damage on others, there would still be gruesome wounds and blood spraying.
But for some reason, these savages, whom I had cut down with my short sword, had not a single drop of blood flow out.
I carefully examined the wounds and found nothing unusual.
If there was anything unusual, it was that the places I had cut were exceptionally smooth.
"Could this short sword have some other use?" I wondered, looking at the short sword in my hand, feeling extremely perplexed.
However, I also knew that this situation was likely something even Vici wouldn't know the reason for.
Furthermore, the Shepherd had said we might meet again in the future, but he didn't want to see me.
It sounded contradictory, yet I could discern a hidden meaning.
The Shepherd had said he didn't want me to spread this power. If I reversed this logic, did it mean I had to meet him again if I wanted to spread this power?
After thinking for a while, with no clear answers, I stopped pondering. I sat down to rest for a bit, then surveyed the extent of the damage.
A significant amount of food was lost, including the crops we had planted.
Of course, the rice and wheat were intact; I assumed the savages saw them as mere weeds.
However, many of the sweet potatoes and other similar crops were destroyed.
One of the pigs we had been raising was also killed and was now being roasted on the grill.
Some of our tools were also damaged, but the problems weren't too severe; they could be repaired and used again.
Fortunately, the door to the dwelling wasn't forced open, and the most valuable items, like quilts and clothes, were undamaged.
This brought me considerable relief.
Not long after, Lin Chun and the others returned. Seeing the state of things, their faces were filled with anger.
However, most of the savages had already been killed by me, so they had nowhere to vent their fury, and could only turn their attention to the four savages I had tied up.
The four savages looked pitiful, but no one showed them any sympathy.
I found Luo Yaqin, "Go and see if you can communicate with them..."
"I'm afraid I can't, but the Chieftain might be able to. I can communicate with the Chieftain," Luo Yaqin said with a smile.
As she spoke, she went and said a few words to the Chieftain, who then went to approach the savages.
Lin Chun walked over, "We'd better find out where they came from. I'm going to raze their homeland!"
