What was “Raid the Village” in Chapter 8?

"Raid the Village"was a game..... a not so pleasant game.

“You mean you actually raid the village?”

“Smash it up, chase people round, take what we like, burn things down. It’s all a good laugh.”

“But that’s terrible!”

“We got to practice our skills somehow, don’t we? Case we ever need to defend ourselves. Otherwise we’d get rusty. Plus there’s rules. We ain’t allowed to kill anybody. Just scare ’em up a bit, like. And if someone does get hurt, well, they’re back right as rain the next day and don’t remember nothing about it.”
