The team that came with more than a hundred people was reduced to three or four hundred people when they left, most of whom were goblins.

Zhou Zhengping was well aware that the large number of goblins might attract the covetousness of other teams.

After all, the price of goblins in the market is really not low.

This group of goblins could probably be sold for thousands of gold coins.

Therefore, on the way back, Zhou Zhengping did not take the main road, but took the forest path, and also asked the soldiers to scout in advance on their way forward.

Under such circumstances, I spent the day before the return journey smoothly.

But as we got closer to Hope Village, we found that the situation was different.

"Whether it's the main roads or the side roads nearby, there are people everywhere."

“It’s basically unavoidable to encounter it.”

“…”

...

...

Several reconnaissance soldiers spoke helplessly.

They explored and couldn't find a route suitable for their team to advance because there were too many people.

"When we came here, there was no one around, right? How come there are so many teams nearby? Go and find out where their destination is." Alick, who was also in the team, spoke up.

In special circumstances, special things will definitely happen.

"Yes." Several reconnaissance soldiers responded and walked out of the team again.

However, the fact that the entire team stopped made Small and others who followed them a little worried.

"What happened?" Small asked Mills.

"We must have encountered another team." Mills analyzed, "But don't worry, we are almost in our territory."

Small listened with a slightly depressed look on his face. "It's just that in the eyes of humans, we are just valuable objects, not lives. That's why we have to worry about being robbed even when we walk on the street."

Mills listened to Small's words, and the words of comfort were paused on the tip of his tongue.

The other party's words touched the heart of his heart.

The status of the goblins on the continent of Stan is so low that they are bullied by everyone.

Didn't they ever think of resisting?

I have thought about it! But why should they resist?

Over time, the spirit in their hearts has long been worn away, and all they think about is lingering on. A little freedom they can get is their luck.

Until... they went to Hope Village.

Thinking of Hope Village, Mills' thoughts were instantly pulled back, and he said seriously: "I believe it will change!"

"Huh?" Small looked at Mills in confusion.

"In Hope Village, we are residents and lives worthy of respect," Mills said in a powerful voice.

This instantly brought Small back to his low mood, "Really?"

"Really!" Mills gave the other party an accurate answer.

These days, Small always inadvertently asked Mills about Hope Village. He understood his inner uneasiness, so Mills would give him a firm answer every time.

Looking at Mills like this, Small felt a little embarrassed.

He knew that he should believe it, but he had been in darkness all the time, and when he suddenly saw the light, he would especially want to verify whether the light was real or fake.

Just then, the reconnaissance soldier who went out to investigate the situation came back.

Seeing this, Mills took Small a few steps forward, taking the initiative to understand the situation.

Mills knew that only by letting Small actually participate in it, would he know how reliable this group of people were.

As I got closer, I heard them talking about the situation.

"They are all heading for Hope Village."

"Some are planning to start a business, and some are planning to settle down."

"They said that our Hope Village is now famous in many territories. They are relatively close to Hope Village, so they came to Hope Village on purpose."

"Hope Village is now well-known outside, not only for its good products, but also as a holiday resort!"

“…”

As the soldiers spoke, they looked somewhat excited.

They didn't expect that so many teams were targeting their territory.

Before they came, they knew that Hope Village was slightly famous, but they didn't expect that Hope Village's fame far exceeded their imagination.

Something must have changed in Hope Village during the time they were away.

Seeing those people praising Hope Village, they couldn't help but feel a little proud.

That's their territory!

Zhou Zhengping couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth as he listened.

The fact that so many people have flocked to Hope Village is enough to prove how well his daughter's territory is managed.

But soon, his thoughts turned to the route they were taking.

If there were only one or two teams, they could have easily avoided them, but now there are so many teams, it is impossible to avoid them.

"In that case, let's take the main road to Hope Village! Follow the other teams!" Zhou Zhengping decided directly.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mills, Small and others, "What do you think?"

"I'll listen to you, Lieutenant." Mills said without thinking.

"Then take up your weapons and follow us!" Zhou Zhengping continued.

"Yeah." Mills nodded, then took Small away.

Then after passing the message along, the goblins who followed him took out their weapons one by one, including spears, lances, iron axes, swords, etc.

These weapons were purchased by them in Hope Village according to their own habits.

During their time in Hope Village, although they worked in the territory and had few opportunities to fight, they never stopped training.

Because they also want to contribute to Hope Village when there is a beast tide and a war in the land.

When Small and others looked at Mills and others, they were all shocked.

They naturally had weapons. After all, they were surviving in the wild and would encounter monsters, so they could only fight back with weapons. However, what they had not expected was that Mills and his men's weapons would be so sophisticated, and most of them were silver weapons.

You know, their weapons are not even bronze.

"arms……"

"You can buy them when you get to Hope Village. They're not expensive at all. Don't worry, just use your own now! We took out weapons just in case, and also to announce to others that we are not slaves." Mills responded with a smile.

Small: “…Yeah.”

Soon, when everyone was ready, the group came out of the forest path and started walking towards the main road.

Not long after we walked onto the main road, we met other teams.

When these teams saw Zhou Zhengping and his group suddenly appear, they were all shocked and immediately took out their weapons.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengping

Zhou Zhengping emphasized this several times before the surrounding teams stopped pointing their weapons at them.

"Are you really the team from Hope Village?"

"Yes, I am Zhou Zhengping, a second lieutenant of the Hope Village Soldier Corps, and the Hope Village chief Zhou Bai is my daughter." Zhou Zhengping introduced himself and also mentioned Zhou Bai's name.

Sure enough, after Zhou Zhengping said this, someone in the team spoke up.

"Yes, yes, yes, the head of Hope Village is indeed a woman, also named Zhou Bai."

"Hope Village's soldier team does have better lieutenants, unlike other territories."

“…”

After someone in the team spoke up, everyone had accepted Zhou Zhengping and his group, and at the same time, they started to make their own plans in their minds.

They were going to Hope Village to do business (settle down). Now they have met the owner of Hope Village, who is an official. If they have some relationship with him, their journey in Hope Village will be easier!

In an instant, several team leaders came running towards Zhou Zhengping enthusiastically.

Looking at these people's enthusiastic smiles, Zhou Zhengping instantly understood why they were there.

It’s easier to get things done if you have someone to back you up.

His daughter has unknowingly become his supporter!

pride!
