Ah, that fits under the seeking recourse for a grave injustice, since obviously fending off a village or avenging the village for the grave injustice of being dominated/overrun by a greater enemy still fits within that trope. Sort of like Disney's Dragon Slayer, where Caitlin Clarke's character journeys to seek help from a wizard to slay the dragon as a form of saving the people from the dragon's wrath (which also ties into the classic Hero's Journey for Peter MacNicol's character), which kind of fits with your request to put this into the context of a village.
Side note: Dragon Slayer has one of the most insane plots of any movie I’ve ever seen.
Recap for anyone who hasn’t seen it:
An elderly wizard is too frail to make the journey to fight the dragon who is gobbling up virgin sacrifices, so he goads a king’s guard into fatally stabbing him. His body is then cremated and turned into a pouch that is given over to his apprentice (who is not privy to the plan, btw). He transports it to the dragon’s lair (as part of a “last wish”) where the wizard is then magically resurrected only to be immediately used as a literal suicide bomber. The dragon snatches him up, the apprentice detonates his mentor, and the dragon dies in the explosion.It’s fucking bananas.
Or it's its own trope.
Fending off a possible rape.
