Within the territory.

Those who returned with Zhou Zhengping had already been conquered by the food in Hope Village.

Maybe it's not just about food.

"We want to stay in Hope Village." After the whole team had eaten and drunk their fill, one of Watt's professionals said to Watt hesitantly.

They didn't know what Watt was planning, but after the destruction of Aberdovy Village and a day of hard work, they really didn't want to go through any more trouble.

Especially when everything in Hope Village is just what they want.

The food is delicious, it has everything a territory should have, and most importantly, it is cheap.

Their savings were enough for them to live a stable life in Hope Village. Most importantly, they had visited the Lord's Mansion and seen the notice there and knew that even without savings, they could still live a decent life as long as they were willing, and even their families could live a decent life without relying on them.

This ** force is really too great!

Watt looked at the professional who was speaking, then looked at several people in the team with flickering eyes, and sighed in his heart.

...

...

Having stayed in Hope Village for such a short time, their professional sensitivity was enough for them to have a general understanding of Hope Village.

With just a simple understanding, he knew that his team was probably inseparable.

In fact, he still insisted on moving towards a larger territory.

After all, Hope Village is just a village, and there are too many risks to face. Only a small town can be considered a territory that has gained a firm foothold on the Stan continent.

Instead of growing with a territory, it is better to go to a big territory early and build your own kingdom.

How great is this!

The most important reason is that the Hope Village team did not hide their identities at all when they were in Aberdovey Village.

This way, the Fasal village that attacked Aberdovey village would definitely know about Hope Village.

An aggressive territory like this will never stop its invasion.

They grew and developed by invading and conquering other people's territories. They knew that someone had escaped from Aberdovy Village and was from another territory. Their next target might be Hope Village.

Of course, this was just his guess, but the probability was as high as eighty percent.

Therefore, Hope Village is likely to be only a temporary stability.

The best way is to leave Hope Village and head to the town of Benguela.

It’s a pity that they were still blinded by the small favors from Hope Village.

Several people were still looking at Watt eagerly.

Watt looked at them, took a long breath, and then said, "If you want to stay, then stay! I will go to the town of Benguela. If you change your mind in the future, you can come to me."

When the time comes, just think of it as taking in a few more brothers.

Seeing Watt agreed, these people nodded quickly.

Watt didn't say much, he just watched them take their families, apply for Hope Village resident status, and then buy a house to settle down.

They will definitely regret it!

Watt thought silently in his heart.

At this time, Zhou Zhengping also told Zhou Bai what Watt was thinking of.

"I don't know if they will target us?" Zhou Zhengping felt a little uneasy.

He had witnessed the fierce attack on Fasal Village with his own eyes. Who knew if Hope Village could resist in such a situation?

No matter how great the potential is, before it takes shape, it can still be manipulated by others.

Zhou Bai couldn't help but frown as he listened.

Given the current situation in Hope Village, it would be too dangerous to really confront them.

Aberdovey Village is a level 3 village!

Looking at the news he had just received, although many people in Aberdovy Village chose to become residents, many professionals chose to be tourists. Even after enjoying the delicious food in Hope Village, they still did not change their decision.

What does this show? It shows that Hope Village is not the choice of those professionals. After experiencing the changes in Aberdovey Village, they no longer trust villages like Hope Village. They have higher aspirations.

Even the smarter ones would think that Hope Village has a presence in Fasal Village, and there is a high possibility that they will confront each other in the future. If they don’t want to experience what happened in Aberdovy Village again, they will not choose Hope Village.

Their consideration is not without reason.

Aberdavey Village can’t be avoided, but can Hope Village?

But soon, Zhou Bai's eyes became firm, "If they really target us, it will be too late for us to be afraid now. We might as well develop ourselves well."

Fortunately, it had not been long since their last territory war, so they had time to develop their territory.

Being strong is the bottom line, otherwise, without Fasal Village, there will be other territories.

The monthly territory war is destined to make Hope Village face the storms of this world from time to time. Since it cannot be avoided, it will just face the challenge head-on.

"You're right." Zhou Zhengping nodded.

"Next, I will increase the training time of the territory soldiers in the military training camp. If they take action, others will also pay attention." Zhou Bai continued.

Those who can make a name for themselves in the territory now are all shrewd people. If they are notified of certain things, it will only make the people in the territory feel uneasy and affect the stability of the territory. As long as there is action, those people will naturally follow on their own.

"Won't the territory still have to be busy with business next?" Zhou Zhengping asked.

Is it possible to have both?

"It doesn't affect us. Only when the territory is rich through business can we buy weapons." Zhou Bai said bluntly, "I plan to go to Benguela Town to buy more advanced large-scale weapons to strengthen the military strength of the territory."

The future development direction of the territory will definitely be a commodity distribution center, but military force is also indispensable to protect the achievements of the territory. The two complement each other and there is no contradiction.

I thought we had enough time to develop before, but now such an "unexpected incident" has occurred, so I should quickly equip my armed forces!

In addition, if she has more money, she can buy more stones to replenish the city walls at all times. She may not be as powerful as the others, but she can turn her territory into a turtle shell, which is also a way to protect herself.

No matter which one you choose, you can’t do it without money!

"As long as you have an idea." Zhou Zhengping looked at Zhou Bai with admiration in his eyes. His daughter is really becoming more and more reliable.

"Dad, don't worry. You've been traveling all day. Go home first! Mom is waiting for you at home!" Zhou Bai urged.

I almost got into trouble in Aberdovy Village. I finally escaped and traveled for a whole day. Then I came back to discuss what happened outside with her. Even a strong body couldn't bear it!

"What about you?" Zhou Zhengping asked back.

"I'll be there later! Li Xingteng and the others are back, I'll go pick them up." Zhou Bai said.

The news about her father's one territory is enough to keep their territory busy for the next period of time. The other territories combined will probably be busy in the future.

As the de facto lord of the territory and the current village chief, she still has to show her

"You should also pay more attention. If there are really a lot of things to do, share them with Bayer and others. You don't have to carry it all by yourself." Zhou Zhengping instructed.

He knew that whether those NPCs could stay in Hope Village depended on Zhou Bai's intention, and because they were hired through the system, there was a system to prevent them from revealing Zhou Bai's identity. Zhou Bai could completely trust them and treat them as his confidants.

Even if they really take control of the power, it will be easy to take it back later.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go!" As Zhou Bai said this, he saw a crowd of people rushing to the city gate. He walked straight towards the city gate, then waved his hand behind Zhou Zhengping, looking very cool.

Looking at her figure, Zhou Zhengping chuckled and then headed towards home.

After being away from home for so many days, he misses his wife too!

**

On this side, Zhou Bai had already run into Cao Jingshan and others.

The moment they entered the city gate, they received a contribution value reminder from the system. Looking at the huge number of contribution values, they were all excited.

This time it’s thousands of contribution points, the system is very generous.

Then, I couldn't wait to look at the contribution ranking.

Although his ranking has moved up several places, Zhou Bai

When they clicked on it again, they saw in the contribution dynamics that the other party also received a contribution yesterday, which was almost as much as theirs.

You are still the king of rolls!

But it was enough for them.

At least they are not far from the position of captain seriously recognized by the system. Although they are captains now, it is not in the rightful place.

Moreover, after Zhou Bai became the village chief, he could control some affairs inside and outside the territory. They thought that he would definitely have the same after becoming the official captain.

While they were thinking about it, they saw Zhou Bai coming towards them.

"Village Chief!" Several people greeted him enthusiastically.

Looking at the people they brought back and their mental states, Zhou Bai could guess that they must have achieved considerable results this time.

Then I took a look at the contribution dynamics. Looking at their contribution, I felt more confident.

"You've been tired all day. There's no need to rush to report the situation. We will hold a formal meeting tomorrow morning." Zhou Bai said directly.

Since these are all good things, we can wait and understand the situation, and give them time to arrange personnel.

"Okay." Cao Jingshan and others followed suit.

Li Xingteng asked one more question, "Where's your dad?"

"He came back earlier than you and is now going home to rest." Zhou Bai said.

When she said this, others also noticed that the territory seemed to be particularly lively today, and that there were some unfamiliar faces moving around in the territory.

After all, there is a huge difference between the faces of their people and those of the local residents.

There were native residents in the territory before, but their numbers definitely did not match these.

It seems that they were all brought back by Zhou Zhengping?

"Your dad has made a great harvest this time! He brought back so many people!" Li Xingteng couldn't help but say.

"Something happened in the territory he went to. I'll explain the details tomorrow." Zhou Bai said simply.

"Yeah." Li Xingteng nodded.

Then Zhou Bai looked at the people and teams behind them, "Are there any people in your team who plan to settle in Hope Village? I will take them to learn more about Hope Village."

It just so happens that this is also the responsibility of the village chief.

"There are quite a few!" Li Xingteng said, "Most of those who followed me are interested in exchanging territories."

After that, Li Xingteng said loudly to the crowd behind him: "This is the village chief of our territory. Those who are willing to settle in Hope Village can follow her. She will take you to know Hope Village. As for the caravan, our hotel is on the left. You can settle there first. If you are not used to it, you can also move freely. If you don't understand, ask the residents of our territory, they will answer you."

Li Xingteng's words were not only directed to the people in his team, but also to the people in other teams.

After hearing this, everyone looked a little strange.

A village chief of a territory wants to take them to understand the territory? Isn't this a bit unrealistic? Doesn't she have any dignity?

If Zhou Bai knew what they were thinking, he would ask in return: what does face mean? Making the new residents like Hope Village and stay here is the real benefit to the territory.

Seeing the murmurs coming from the crowd, Zhou Bai said directly: "I will take you to the Lord's Mansion now, and I will briefly introduce the territory to you on the way."

Having said that, Zhou Bai moved.

As soon as she moved, some people hurriedly followed her with their families. Most of them were people who planned to settle down in Hope Village, and the remaining small number were those who had not yet made plans.

There were only a few, but there were more than a hundred people.

Seeing that Zhou Bai, the village chief, was really leading the way, some of the caravan leaders coming to Hope Village had flickering eyes.

"You follow and take a look." Several caravan leaders sent one of their men to follow Zhou Bai.

Cao Jingshan and others didn't take their actions seriously.

They knew very well that the territories and the status of the top leaders in this world were very high, so they had doubts.

But after staying for a long time, they realized that many things in Hope Village were different from what they knew.

Then, Cao Jingshan and Li Xingteng looked at the caravans or individuals they brought back and asked politely, "Would you like to have dinner together?"

They had all agreed to call Yun Juncai along and have him entertain these caravans. He would then introduce the follow-up business matters. As for them, they would just earn a little kickback from it, which would be considered as extra income this time.

Their biggest income comes from contribution and the goods they bring back. They get the former, but they are too lazy to get the latter, so they plan to sell it directly to the territory and let the territory make a profit from the difference.

They were paid by the territory and enjoyed benefits. This time they were on a business trip, so they had to give back to the territory! This was also agreed upon before.

"Okay!" Several caravan leaders agreed immediately.

Socializing at the dinner table is an old trick.

Immediately afterwards, after letting their men settle down in the hotel, the leaders of several caravans left with Cao Jingshan and Li Xingteng.

As for Ling Mingzhi, what he cares about are the few talents he has recruited. These are the hens that lay golden eggs.

"Come on, I'll take you to dinner first, and then I'll take you to the dormitory after dinner."

Finally, the only ones left were the caravan members and a few small groups.

Just when they were about to move freely, some Hope Village residents who were well prepared rushed over.

"Need a guide?"

"Or do you need to rent a house for a long time? It's definitely more cost-effective than a hotel."

"I also have a simple map of the territory here. One copy only costs 1 copper coin."

“…”

In this way, the remaining people dispersed according to their needs.

A team of hundreds of people has slowly invaded Hope Village in a trickle-like manner, and will give Hope Village a different "vitality" in the future.

Two updates combined into one, there will be three more updates in the evening! Please vote, muah~
