The townspeople who are seeing the players, quickly began to pray sincerely, "Thank you, God. We will survive."
Hanjun, standing at the back of the crowd, was surprised to feel a small amount of faith that was came from the people.
This power came back to him, giving him a bit of divine power.
Even though the faith was small, it was enough to prepare for the next group of players.
No matter the kind of faith, as long as it helped them survive, they would hold onto it.
Once the townspeople's emotions settled, Father Barry encouraged everyone.
He reminded them that the God of Light had not given up on them, and they shouldn't give up hope either.
They should work with the heroes to protect their home.
As a priest, Father Barry was very persuasive.
His words resonated with the townspeople, and everyone's eyes sparkled with the will to survive.
This spark of hope continued to inspire them, making them believe they could make it through.
The players behind Father Barry saw this and couldn't help but feel moved.
Most of the players had interacted with the townspeople through the quests that was given by Father Barry.
To them, Ulon Town had seemed like just a beginner village with NPCs.
But thinking about the past and the real emotions that these residents showing now, the players suddenly realized that even in a game, the townspeople were real human beings with their own stories.
Asthe so-called heroes, they now felt the heavy responsibility of saving lives.
Seeing that the townspeople were ready to listen, Father Barry quickly assigned tasks to everyone.
The townspeople left to start their tasks, and now it was time for the players.
Father Barry turned around to the players and said, "Brave heroes, thanks to your help, we have cleared the wild beasts from the Eastern Plains and now we can go to the quarry safely. The demon army will arrive in Ulon Town in a day and a half. We need to act quickly. Please work with the townspeople to overcome this challenge."

Father Barry's inspiring speech brought tears to the players' eyes, and they were eager to start the quest right away.
But then they suddenly heard a "gurgle" sound.
They were hungry.
The players realized that while half a day had passed in the game, the same amount of time had passed in real life, and they were starving after playing for so long.
Flower Deer said first, "I'm logging off now."
Since they were all in the same team and Flower Deer was known for her skills, the others, including Master PungPong, looked at her hopefully.
