Sam was continuously attacked the whole way to the village. It took him one and a half hours to reach it.
The village was more or less built the same way as Woodchester with wooden buildings and a defense wall out of wood.
"Halt! Stranger what is your business in our little Oakhausen?" the guard stopped Sam and asked.
"I am an adventurer of Woodchester, a catastrophe is approaching and I was sent to inform your village chief."
"Leave your weapons here, I will take you to the chiefs house!"
The guard led the way in a hurried manner, that way they reached the house in just a few minutes.
The guard walked in first and waved Sam in after a few moments.
Sam stepped inside and scanned the building. An old man, about 60 years old was sitting on a chair in the living room, while three people stood in his left side.
"Hello adventurer, my name is Carl and I'm the village chief. I was told that you bring information from Woodchester? What is the situation over there?"
"We fought a big group of zombies and annihilated them with some casualties. The problem right now is, that the monsters will keep on getting stronger and our defenses are to weak to handle them by the time that happens. In times like these we humans have to be united, that's why I came here to inform you of the plan we have. By the way, my name is Sam.
A woman of about 30 years stepped forward " You should be someone from the city right? How do we know if we can trust you? I have seen a lot in these past few days and know that i can't trust someone easily."
Sam looked at the group of three. All of them were females.
'They are all quite the beauties!'
The two females, that had not spoken until then were twins, about 20 years old and they looked really good, even though they hadn't used any make up in the last days.
The older woman had long black hair and a seductive, voluptuous body. She emitted a mature charme.
The twins had slim, well trained bodies of about 1,60 height. They wore short clothes and their blonde hair was tied into ponytails.
Sam looked at the woman and answered " I won't trust anyone easily either, so I understand what you mean. Let me tell you about the plan first, you can decide afterwards, what you guys want to do.
I found a damaged castle to the south-west from here. It is occupied by a small group of orcs right now but we are planning to conquer it soon. The environment over there is a lot better compared to Woodchester or your village. Stone walls are encircling a big space, where a lot of people could find houses to live. The individual strength of our villages is too small, we can easily kill zombies or goblins, but what happens when stronger monsters appear? The answer is simple. We will get slaughtered one after another!

Chief Carl, I don't know you, these adventurers or the villagers living here, fuck, I mean I don't even know the people in my own village, but I know that everyone will die, if we don't look for a safer place to live soon!!" Sam waited a few moments and continued, " I scouted the castle and spotted around 15 enemies. If both our villages send around five people we could secure it. How about you guys think about it? I wait outside." Sam finished and quickly left the building.
He leaned against the wall and listened to their discussion through an open window.
"What do the three of you think? You are the only adventurers in Oakhausen and the strongest fighters as well!" Carl asked the three females.
"In the last few days we have seen rape,murder and cannibalism from people, who we would never have believed would do that. Outer appearance means nothing in times like this. I mean, this guy looks like a brute, with his big body and viscous eyes, but I have the feeling that he isn't dangerous." the middle aged woman said.
"What do you sisters think?"
"I don't think he looks like a brute, yes he is big and has a hardened face but I like this masculine look. I could swear he smiled at me too!!"
"No he didn't smile at you, he smiled at me!! I too think he is quite the handsome man !" the twin sisters said.
"Girls...i didn't mean his looks, what do you think about his plan? Do you trust him?" the middle aged woman said with an annoyed voice.
"Linda, me and my sister trust in you abilities, you are the ninth person to reach Level 5 after all. If this Sam has ulterior motives you are strong enough to defeat him.
I have the feeling this man is trustworthy and we should help with his plan." One of the twin sisters said, to which the other nodded.
Sam stood outside the building with raised eyebrows. He was surprised that the woman had reached Level 5 as well.
One of the twins came out and called Sam back in with a smile.
The middle aged woman, Linda asked when he had entered again, " When do you plan to start the conquest?"
" The best would be to attack as fast as possible. The earlier we take the castle, the earlier we can start the reparations and movement of the villagers and supplies.
How about you choose you paricipants and we leave this afternoon?"
The girls agreed and left to pack their stuff. Sam talked with Carl for a little bit longer, leaving afterwards. He went back to the gate, where they agreed to meet.
Sam retrieved his shield and waited until a small group arrived.
It were the three females, accompanied by two middle aged archers. The twins held two daggers each, while Linda held a staff.
" You are a knight? I could have sworn you are a warrior." one of the sisters said and laughed.
Linda looked at him curiously and asked " Where is your weapon? Don't tell me you fight monsters with your fists?"
" This shield is weapon enough for me. On this you can trust me!"
They travelled towards Woodchester, deploying the two archers as scouts. They meanwhile talked about their 'past lives' .
The twins had been students with a lot of accomplishments in different sports, like volleyball, gymnastics, swimming or tennis.
Linda had managed a big company, that sold make up and other beauty products.
They had met at Day 0 and bunkered themselves in a mall with a big group. The people seemed to be friendly at first, but a small number soon stole all the food and after two days of endless zombie attacks and nothing to eat, the people became violent.
They realized their were no laws anymore and only the strongest would survive, so they started raping and ultimately eating the weaker people.
Linda had foreseen this and took the twins to escape. They hungered for two days, while overcoming their fear and fighting for their lives.
They had already left the city when the announcement of the changes came. They found Oakhausen and helped them to defend against the goblins.
After talking nonstop they reached Woodchester at 6 pm and met Rudolph to discuss the plan for their assault.
