The day Zhou Bai officially became a landlady, a mysterious game descended! She traded several buildings in the city for a mysterious reward. After the game officially launched, her reward arrived!...
Doomsday Game is Coming
Early in the morning, Zhou Bai had already received a system notification.
[Dear host, the war-free period for your territory Hope Village has ended. Please prepare as soon as possible.
【……】
[Dear host, Fasal Village has launched a territorial war against Hope Village. The attack may come at any time. As the challenged party, please be prepared to defend the city.]
[Note: Village-level territory war, duration: 24 hours.]
Seeing that it was indeed Fasal Village, Zhou Bai paused.
They actually guessed it right.
This aggressive territory is essentially a spontaneous act.
During that time, they met people from Hope Village in Aberdovey Village, so they casually targeted Hope Village. They really think highly of themselves!
...
...
However, unlike the last time when he was targeted by a group of territories, this time there was only one person coming to challenge him.
I think, firstly, the defeat of Stanlo Village last time made many territories realize that they are not easy to mess with, and secondly, it is because of Hope Village’s ranking improvement!
Thinking of this, Zhou Baimian issued the notice without changing his expression.
[Main Mission: Territory War]
[Nature: Time-limited task]
[Introduction: The human territory of Fasal Village challenges Hope Village. Please protect our territory. ]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Target of implementation: All residents]
After the notice was released, Zhou Bai went straight to the military camp, which was currently the backbone of the entire territory.
At the same time, the residents of Hope Village moved quickly after seeing this.
Lord's Mansion.
"Except for those on duty, all staff members go to the city gate to maintain order. Quickly!" Following Bayer's order, all staff members in the office took action.
What they have to do has been repeatedly emphasized over the past few days and has been rehearsed many times, so they are very familiar with it.
In groups of three or four, they quickly found their own jobs in Hope Village.
Adjacent blacksmith shop and tailor shop.
Harrison and Diana, together with the apprentices and volunteers they have recruited during this period, are always ready to repair damaged equipment and weapons.
The volunteers of the blacksmith shop are mainly from the goblin clan.
Their fighting ability is poor, but they have strong hands-on ability, especially their understanding and processing of ores. They are definitely the best in Hope Village.
After the city wall was built, except for the thirty goblins who worked overtime in the cement factory, the rest of the goblins also started doing odd jobs in the territory and barely achieved a basic standard of living.
Seeing that everyone in Hope Village was preparing for the territory war, they also wanted to contribute to the territory. After searching for a long time, they finally found a "job" processing ore.
As for the volunteers of the tailor shop, most of them are women in the territory. There are also many indigenous people among them. Unlike the ordinary people who used to live a hard life and could only rely on their husbands and laborers, they found the value of their existence in Hope Village.
Not only has their life improved, but they have also become more confident in their family life, which has made their happiness index rise rapidly. They all know that such a life is brought by Hope Village.
In order for the good days to continue like this, they sincerely hope that the village will become better and better.
Therefore, when they are needed, how can they not contribute?
storehouse.
Ding Qiurou was inside, constantly reviewing the quantity of all the materials in the warehouse in her mind, trying to have an idea of it, especially the stones. Although there were enough stored, she heard that the situation this time was different, so she naturally had to be careful.
Once the consumption of stone materials was a bit high, she would have to find a way to replenish it as soon as possible, or even ask Zhou Bai and the others to prepare.
Commercial street.
Various preparations have also been started for opening gourmet food shops to fully ensure the logistics of the territory.
"Quick, pack these breads so they're ready to go."
"And these mixed noodles, put them in your backpack quickly. Make sure there are enough of them."
"The same goes for burgers. Divide them into portions and pick them up later."
“Send a notification that all products are 20% off today.”
"Please prepare drinks and water as well."
"Where's the bamboo tube? Bring us the bamboo tube we prepared."
“…”
The entire commercial street was busy with the preparations of these merchants.
"What about us? What should we do?" Henry asked Maria. In the past, when the town of Benguela faced territorial wars, they basically just watched from the sidelines and only tried to take advantage of any loopholes in the later stages.
This is how they joined Hope Village
He knew that Maria was planning to go to the battlefield to accumulate some contribution points.
The others were also looking at Maria eagerly.
"We have prepared a lot of medicines in the past few days, so there should be no problem with the supply. But to be on the safe side, we can make more. Before the territory war starts, I will continue to make and stockpile them! Anyway, if we can't use them up this time, it will be easy to sell them later." Maria made a decision after thinking for a moment.
Don't delay on either side.
As he said that, he looked at the others and said, "You guys should go to the city gate and wait! The territory war is also a rare opportunity for you."
These people have been following her around, and she doesn't want to hinder their future.
When Henry heard this, he said directly: “I’m not in a hurry, I’ll prepare the materials and help you.
Others also said, "Then we can take the medicine to the door and sell it. It will be more convenient then."
"Okay." Maria nodded.
Immediately, the group split into two groups.
As for Maria and Henry, they continued to work overtime in the workshop at the back of the store to make potions.
Wendell's shop was only separated from them by a wall, and he also noticed their movements.
After all, he also cares a lot about the development of Maria and other mercenary teams in Hope Village.
He has calculated during this period that Maria's primary potions have basically occupied the market in Hope Village. Because of their complete variety and good effects, professionals basically choose to buy potions here.
In the small town of Benguela, even though Maria sold potions privately, the overall quantity was definitely not as much as that of Hope Village.
Because she is not the only one in the small town of Benguela, but in the village of Hope.
At the same time, as long as the shops pay taxes, there will be no additional expenses. The territory officials headed by the village chief will not extort shops or collect protection fees, giving businesses enough living space and freedom.
Even his shop, which was named Hope Village but was actually located in the small town of Benguela, was not targeted.
Hope Village’s approach is truly aboveboard.
In this way, he could understand why Maria chose to settle in Hope Village without hesitation.
No, or rather, it was not just Maria, but the entire territory, from top to bottom. A territorial war tied their hearts together.
"Captain, are we going to participate in the territory war?" asked a team member nearby.
After receiving the task, a large group of professionals rushed to the city gate. They also wanted to see the excitement.
Especially the new city wall of Hope Village, can this so-called aggressive territory bring them any harm?
"You guys volunteer! I plan to go take a look! Leave one person to watch the store." Wendel came to his senses after hearing the question and walked straight out.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to see the strength of Hope Village.
He felt that Hope Village would give him a huge surprise.
After walking a few steps, he stopped and said, "Let's give 20% off all the equipment!"
Just join in the fun!
With these two stores taking the lead, other stores also started offering discounts, just following the trend!
Military camp.
Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng, Heidi, Lucas, O'Neill, Frey, Ling Mingzhi, Cao Jingshan and other captains of each team received the task.
It includes humans, undead, and even people of different races, but at this moment, they have only one identity: territory soldiers.
Just as they had gathered, Zhou Bai and Bayer arrived at the military camp one after the other.
It was also Bayer's suggestion to let Zhou Bai, the village chief, mobilize and issue orders.
It didn’t matter that Zhou Bai’s presence was weak on weekdays, but in crucial matters like the territory war, he had to step forward.
This will help establish her personal authority.
Zhou Bai agreed. When he arrived at the scene and saw the neatly arranged rows of teams, he couldn't help but feel moved.
It’s really not easy for Hope Village to get to where it is today!
Looking at Zhou Bai, the people below had mixed emotions.
However, a considerable number of them had a hint of respect for Zhou Bai in their eyes.
It has not been easy for the territory to get to where it is today, but when it comes to meritorious officials, the contribution of Zhou Bai, the lord hiding behind the scenes, is absolutely well-deserved.
Even though they didn't know Zhou Bai's identity, they admired him in their hearts because he was currently in charge of the entire territory.
For the undead and orcs, Lord Zhou Bai gave them a new life. For them, Zhou Bai was the "master" they would devote the rest of their lives to.
They didn't speak for a long time, and it seemed that they were just lamenting everything they had experienced during this period of time.
After a moment, Zhou Bai looked around, and finally took a long breath and said simply and clearly: "Let's go! Let's go!"
There is no need to say anything, the truth will be revealed on the battlefield.
The next moment, everyone followed Zhou Bai towards the city wall.
Even though it was a short journey, the group instantly attracted the attention of many residents.
Seeing them so majestic, many people had excitement in their eyes.
This is the confidence of their territory!
Looking at so many soldiers, my sense of security suddenly exploded!
Of course, there were also many people who showed longing looks.
Especially the orcs who have just arrived in the territory.
After arriving at Hope Village, their powerful strength made them feel at home in Hope Village. They followed the professional team of Hope Village and worked very hard, so they gained the most.
Coupled with the cheap prices in Hope Village, they really lived a better life here than ever before.
But orcs are a naturally warlike race, especially the tiger-headed people. Seeing the majestic appearance of O'Neill and others, they naturally want to become one of them and climb to a higher position.
"When will I be able to accumulate enough contribution points to become a soldier?"
"I also want to lead a whole team like O'Neal and his team, it's so cool."
"If we work hard in this territory war, we will have a chance to achieve it."
"Well, I will definitely work hard."
"Me too. Let them send teams to the territory and never return!"
"Besides, being a soldier is well paid! The territory provides equipment and other things, and you get a stable salary. You can also share in the gains from your trips, and finally, you get fixed vacations."
"Maybe it will be okay after this time."
"Well, try to kill more enemies."
“…”
Several orcs spoke menacingly, with a strong murderous aura lingering around their entire bodies.
Listening to their conversation, someone beside them weakly interrupted, "Actually, we don't have to kill them. Capturing them alive is also a good option."
Although I have long known that the daily routine of this world is fighting and killing, but when I see such ferocious orcs, I can still give a reminder.
"Why do you say that?" All the orcs looked at the person who spoke.
"Because sometimes the living are more valuable than the dead. Isn't our territory going to build a road to Glasgow Village next? That requires hiring people! But if it is done by captured people, at least it can save the territory some money..." the man said quickly.
"Will it work?"
"It works! There was a group of people in the territory who worked as coolies for a long time without any pay. Of course, they did it because they broke the rules of the territory." The man also looked at Yu Ziming and others who had robbed the territory.
Coincidentally, Yu Ziming and others were not far away from this person. When they heard this example, their whole bodies tensed up for a moment, but they soon relaxed.
They have all been punished, and now after fighting for so long, they are slowly raising their levels.
In this territory war, as long as they work hard and accumulate 500 contribution points and exchange them for soldiers, then the past that makes them feel ashamed will be wiped out.
Thinking of this, the eyes of several people headed by Yu Ziming became determined.
As for the new professionals from other territories, such as Watt and his group, they all had strange looks in their eyes when they listened.
Is there such an operation?
Hope Village is really constantly refreshing their worldview!
However, after staying in this unique territory for a long time, I got used to it.
Even Watt, who chose to stay because he was afraid that his subordinates would run away, gradually got used to the rhythm and environment of Hope Village.
Most importantly, they now have confidence in the strength of Hope Village.
The village of Fasal, the existence that destroyed their former territory, didn't seem so scary anymore.
Even this time, they can avenge themselves for the last oppression.
The orcs nodded after getting a positive answer.
"We got it, thank you."
"That being said, when it comes to your own safety, don't show mercy, otherwise you will be the ones in danger." The man looked at the orcs' high spirits and quickly reminded them.
Don't put yourself in danger just to catch a few people.
"No! Don't worry! We can handle it."
"Anyone who is not a mid-level professional is just like... mud in our hands."
When the person who was speaking heard the word "mud", he fell silent.
Although it is true, but also consider that he is also a human being!
As if realizing that there was something wrong with their words, the orcs scratched their heads and said, "I'm not talking about you."
"...Yeah, I know." The man smiled and said, "Let's go! Although it hasn't officially started yet, we can follow them and wait at the city gate."
"Walk!"
Just like that, behind the team of soldiers, another group of professionals followed closely with the orcs.
After a short while, they arrived at the city gate. According to their different arms, the soldiers quickly took their positions at various places of the city gate, and each of them had a determined look in their eyes.
The training during this period is enough for them to be reborn to a certain extent.
They now also need to use a battle to test their achievements over this period of time.
…
In this way, the entire territory, from top to bottom, was operating in an orderly manner.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
They were waiting for the team from Fasal village to arrive.
**
Meanwhile, in Fasar village.
After selecting Hope Village as the target, Wolf, as the lord of Fasal Village, immediately assembled most of the people in the entire territory.
This is an old operation in their territory.
Because only in this way can they achieve the greatest degree of victory.
The resources they spent on mobilizing so many people were just a drop in the bucket compared to the gains from conquering a territory.
"My lord, shall we set off now?" Aiden asked from the side, his eyes eager to try.
Speaking of which, the reason why Hope Village was chosen as the target by their Fasal Village is closely related to him!
There were many Hope Village products among the things confiscated in Aberdovey Village. They tasted really good. They had been consumed a long time ago. They were also very greedy! This time when I go to Hope Village, I must eat to my heart's content.
Of course, the most important thing for them is to get the recipes of these things. For them, that is the most worthwhile thing to plunder this time.
"Let's go!" What Aiden was thinking was also what Wolf was thinking at the moment. A hint of covetousness flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he began to take action.
As he operated, a circle of white light appeared on the ground.
After he stepped in first, the entire team of soldiers and the team of professionals who were summoned also walked in.
Among them, a considerable number of people were forced to enter by them.
These people were the spoils of war they had obtained from their previous invasions of territories, and similarly, they were also the cannon fodder for their siege this time.
When the light faded, Wolfe and the others had already arrived at Hope Village.
After arriving, he headed straight for the gate of Hope Village without stopping.
For them, there is no need to hide when dealing with a level 2 territory like Hope Village.
In a word, just do it!
Because they were so undisguised, their team was soon noticed by the scouts from Hope Village.
"Village Chief, Lord Bayer, the people of Fasal Village are here!"
Zhou Bai responded lightly, looking in the direction they came from, and then asked everyone in the territory to prepare.
On Wolfe's side, they were also speeding up their progress, and in a short while they had passed a dense forest in front of Hope Village.
After the dense forest dissipated and the view became wider, Wolfe finally saw the true appearance of Hope Village.
But the moment I saw it clearly, I was stunned.
The wall of Hope Village was obviously not any wall he knew.
However, judging from the height and width of this strange city wall, it is obviously not to be underestimated.
"Aiden, check out the defenses of Hope Village's walls." Wolfe said seriously.
"Yes." Aiden responded and immediately took out his golden equipment - the detector.
Soon, Aiden started to detect directly in the direction of the city wall.
Fortunately, the city wall was large enough to allow him to aim at such a long distance.
“Ding ding ding…”
As the detector worked, the sound continued.
Although the sound was small, every minute and every second was torture for Aiden.
If for no other reason than that the longer the detector takes, it usually means the more valuable the item is.
What is the value of a city wall?
Of course it’s defense!
This is golden equipment. It took so much time to return it, which can only prove one thing, that is, the defense of this city wall is much higher than they imagined!
What Aiden noticed was also noticed by Wolfe beside him. He looked at the detector with a deep look in his eyes.
Originally, when he learned that Hope Village had suddenly advanced by more than a thousand places, he did not take it too seriously, because the other party's advancement would be behind his territory, and he was still confident of winning.
But now, things are different.
He suspected that the Hope Village was able to improve by more than a thousand people purely due to the added defensive power of the city wall.
If this is the case, then Hope Village will be in trouble!
While Wolfe was thinking, the detector in Aiden's hand finally stopped detecting.
Soon, the data of the city wall appeared in front of Aiden and Wolfe.
[Detection target: ??? City wall???]
[Detection data: The city wall's defense power is 400,000. ]
400000!!!
As soon as this data came out, Wolfe and Aiden's expressions changed again!
Outrageous! This is outrageous!
How is this possible?
