Fasar village.

Wolfe returned to the territory with all his men.

The soldiers who stayed behind to guard the city watched them return with nothing but excitement on their faces.

In their opinion, who can compete with their lord?

It must be another day of returning victoriously, and they have gained another territory. With the benefits of occupying a territory, this time, the Lord will reward them again!!!

"My Lord!" They called out excitedly, with a hint of excitement in their tone.

Unexpectedly, Aiden, who was standing next to Wolfe, gave them a stern look.

Soldiers: “…”

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.

Could it be that... I failed.

...

...

Wolf looked at the soldiers guarding the city and without saying much, he went straight into the territory. After instructing his men to move freely, he went straight back to his manor and then... closed the door and refused to see visitors.

After this reaction, everyone in Fasal Village knew about it in a short while.

This time, Fasal Village fought against Hope Village and was defeated.

"How is this possible? Hope Village is just a level 2 village?"

“And so many of you went there.”

"The Lord has many treasures, and those treasures are not something that ordinary territories can handle."

"How could I lose?"

"Could it be that Hope Village also has some powerful backer?"

"You all don't seem to be injured. There shouldn't be any powerful people in Hope Village, right?"

“…”

A group of people surrounded Aiden and other captains who followed Wolfe to Hope Village and started questioning them. The most important one among them was Aiden.

Everyone knows that the lord likes to take Aiden with him, and Aiden accompanies him in almost every territory war.

Therefore, he must know the details clearly.

Those present were other captains of the soldier team, of the same rank as Aiden, and were straightforward in their questioning.

Aiden was questioned, and his expression was somewhat helpless. "Although Hope Village is a level 2 village, they somehow increased the territory's defense to 400,000. In order to consume their defense first, the lord and I used a lot of methods. As a result, when we thought we were going to win, Hope Village took this opportunity to advance and attracted a large number of beasts to attract our attention. Not only that, they also restored the defense of the city wall in an instant..."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but gasp.

Just by listening to this, they felt a nameless rage rising in their hearts, not to mention the lord who was present at the scene.

The lord must have spent a lot of money to consume a city wall with a defense power of 400,000. If it succeeds, it will be worth it to capture Hope Village. However, Hope Village is obviously prepared, and even all the previous shows of weakness are to lower their vigilance and delay time until the battle is impossible for Fasal Village to win.

At this point, victory or defeat has nothing to do with the strength of both sides.

As the attacking party, Fasal Village is bound to lose!

"The lord has no choice but to retreat and admit defeat. Otherwise, he will feel even more aggrieved if he helps Hope Village to block the beast tide in vain." Aiden said immediately. He did not say anything about Wolfe's little thoughts because it would easily undermine the lord's authority. Once undermined, the lord would definitely not forgive him. He could only try to save the lord's reputation.

"My lord, you did the right thing by cutting the losses in time." The other captains echoed.

After saying this, everyone thought of Hope Village again and was silent for a moment.

"This Hope Village was unknown before, but I didn't expect it to have some capabilities."

"At least the other party has some financial resources."

"We've lost this time, let's see if we can get back on track next time."

"Tomorrow, when the Lord has some time to relax, we will send someone to Hope Village to see if we can find any weaknesses."

“…”

Several captains were talking to each other, and it was obvious that they all knew that although the Hope Village had escaped this time, their lord would definitely not let them go. They thought of countermeasures in advance and would give an explanation to the lord tomorrow.

Aiden thought so too, and then said, "We will discuss this with the Lord tomorrow. Now let's settle the personnel who are going out to fight."

"Yes." Several captains nodded, and after a while, the troops who were brought out returned to their original positions in a short time.

The entire territory began to operate as it did before the war.

But soon, the warehouse manager who managed the territory warehouse hurriedly reported the situation.

"Half of the warehouse's resources are gone." He was the one who managed the warehouse, and now that so much was gone, he couldn't afford it!

After hearing this, several team leaders realized something.

There is a price to pay for losing a territory war.

"Does the warehouse have many resources left this time?"

Their territory is naturally backed by other territories. The resources plundered from other village-level territories are regularly handed over. Although there are quite a few left in the territory, the resources after the handover are nothing to them.

"A lot. All the proceeds from Aberdovy village last time are in here. The lord above didn't come." The warehouse manager was about to cry. This amount of resources was priced at a sky-high price.

Under normal circumstances, many territories would secretly transfer out some of the resources in the warehouse before a war, but their Fasal Village did not do that because they had never considered that their territory would fail.

As a result, we lost this time!

Many captains were horrified.

By this calculation, the loss of their territory this time was really too great.

At least, the last battle was not fought for ourselves, but for Hope Village!

"A building in the territory has disappeared. It was an advanced alchemy workshop." Someone else came hurriedly to report the news!

“What???” Everyone looked shocked.

This advanced alchemy workshop is one of the most important buildings in their territory!

Their territory invested a lot of money in this alchemy workshop!

This time, it actually became Hope Village? ? ?

God! This is so heartbreaking for them!

Although they also have other buildings with similar functions to alchemy workshops, how can they compare with the advanced alchemy workshops built by themselves?

Even though they knew that losing the territory war would result in the loss of territory property, they really didn't think that it would be the alchemy workshop?

Most importantly, they have experienced defeat.

They finally understood why the lord hid himself as soon as he returned.

This needs to be vented.

Just when they were feeling upset, a familiar voice sounded in their ears, "What are you talking about?"

"Your Excellency." After seeing that it was Wolfe, several captains were startled and saluted respectfully.

Wolfe just looked at them without saying anything.

At this time, Aiden said with a stiff upper lip: "We are talking about the losses of the territory's defeat."

Seeing that Aiden really said it, the other captains broke into a cold sweat for him. Wasn't this reminding the lord of his failure?

But Aiden knew that if they hid it, it would make Wolfe more angry.

"Hmm." Wolfe listened and responded in a light tone, then asked: "What do you think?"

"Of course I have to find a chance to get it back."

"We can't take this loss for nothing."

"This time we were not prepared. If we were prepared, we would definitely be able to get it back."

"Also, the defensive strength of the Hope Village wall is questionable. There may be other forces involved behind the scenes."

"Yes, maybe someone in Aberdovey deliberately let Hope Village catch your eye, Lord, so we were fooled."

“…”

Seeing that Wolfe was not angry, several captains mustered up the courage to speak, and what they said was definitely in line with Wolfe's wishes.

When Wolfe heard the last few words, his expression became better and better, and he gave several people an approving look.

The loss of the advanced alchemy workshop and half of the warehouse's resources has already occurred. What he has to do now is to blame the defeat of this war on external forces, so that he can bear less responsibility.

Of course, these words couldn't come out of his mouth.

After listening to almost everything, Wolfe said, "Aiden, lead the team to Hope Village in person. I need to know the most detailed information about Hope Village."

He will definitely take revenge!

Whether it is the advanced alchemy workshop or the plundered resources, he must take them back from Hope Village!

"...Yes." Aiden hesitated for a moment but finally agreed.

After hearing this, the other captains gave Aiden an ambiguous look.

Although I have the trust of the lord, this job is a thankless one!

Regardless of whether Hope Village has any force supporting it, they must have their own abilities to force them to retreat from their territory. It is extremely difficult to find a weakness in such a territory, especially when they are not going to their home ground.

Fortunately, fortunately it wasn't them.

Aiden noticed the gazes of these people and hummed in his heart.

They said nice things before, all for the sake of their territory, but when it came to themselves, they all retreated.

For him, this is not a good job, but if he does it well, his status will be higher. It all depends on how he does it.

then,

Of course, in order to avoid attracting attention, the group went to other territories and changed their identities as "residents".

Although the territory would no longer accept residents who left, since they were the lord's confidants, there was room for maneuver and he was not afraid at all.

After doing all this, Aiden led his men and headed towards Hope Village in a menacing manner.

In just a few days, they would reach Hope Village.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what the Hope Village was like. Why did they suffer the defeat?
