With his garden dirtied hands he stood up, eyeing the people passing through.
They are what the villagers called "otherworlders."
He stopped planting new seeds to approach the visitors, due to his responsibility as the sole guard.

The village was never a place that thrived, maybe due to it's infertile lands or the monsters that commonly gather.
It was their home and they make do with what they have to survive.
A few years back, the able men built a wooden palisade that serves as protection from the monsters.
But even with that there never was a month with no accidents occurring.
This was the problem of the village named "Erdale" had to bear.

The otherworlders had appeared once before. It was night, and the sky wasn't in their favor when …show more content…

Good Luck!"

Reeve felt enthusiastic about the matter. When he reported it to the elders they were pleased by the news.
The village maidens even cooked food for their returning heroes as a sign of thanks.

They were enraged by the destruction of their home so much so that the goblins turned red.
In this world, goblins will turn red if their nest which is where their queen could live is destroyed.

This is such a common knowledge that it would be nonsense to think that these three would not know of it.

'So if we defeat the monsters that will attack the village then we get to have your reward?'

His words rang into his mind. He came to a realization that they had not intended to help right from the start.

Even though the villagers couldn't move, the screams can be heard while they were massacred.
