The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There is really no time to spare!

However, if Barnes Village can be swallowed up, it will also be of great benefit to Hope Village.

Since there are benefits, it’s still doable!

After calming down, Zhou Bai looked at Viscount Lancelot, "Is there any new movement in Barnes Village? Are they planning to attack our Hope Village?"

Viscount Lancelot had just found a seat and was shocked when he heard Zhou Bai's words. He then said helplessly, "Are you underestimating your own territory?"

The market in Hope Village has become a must-visit place for many mercenary teams and caravans. It covers the specialty products of many territories, with a complete range of items and large quantities. As long as you go to this place, you can basically buy what you want.

There were many caravans and mercenary teams in his territory that came to Hope Village every day to ship goods and receive goods. He didn't know how much they earned, but he collected a lot of taxes anyway.

By the way, he also specially calculated the territory's income after the cooperation with Hope Village. Not only was it not affected, but it increased a lot. His officials also said that the trading volume of territory monsters has also increased a lot, and the residents' income has increased. Many residents plan to expand the scale of monster breeding and domestication.

This is probably what Zhou Bai meant by “common prosperity”!

...

...

The income of his territory has increased, and the same is probably true for other territories.

It’s clear, then, why Hope Village is so popular.

With other territories continuously investing in Hope Village, the development of Hope Village can be described as rapid.

Of course, what is even more surprising, besides the economic prosperity of Hope Village, is its investment in public buildings.

For village-level territories, the value of the land is very high, so high that they are reluctant to waste it.

Generally speaking, the land is either sold at a high price or a valuable building is built on it.

Even though Hope Village is not short of money, its attitude towards land can still be considered generous.

When he came this time, I almost couldn't recognize him.

Seeing it with your own eyes is always more shocking than hearing about it.

Deep down in my heart, I am even more envious.

All in all, Hope Village's current level of development is one of the best among level 3 villages. His territory is not as good as Hope Village, let alone Barnes Village which ranks after him.

How could Barnes Village dare to deal with Hope Village openly?

"So you're here for..."

"I'm here to tell you a good news. The territory war in Barnes Village will start in a few days. His population is losing a lot, especially the professionals. If he fails in this territory war, it will be his weakest moment. Now is the most appropriate time for us to besiege him together."

"Siege?" Zhou Bai paused and repeated the word.

Viscount Lancelot looked at Zhou Bai and said bluntly: "War is a meat grinder. Territory development is inseparable from war, and therefore also inseparable from casualties. It's either you die or I die. A territory that is too kind will not survive to the end."

Viscount Lancelos knew about the past territorial wars in Hope Village. Not only was Hope Village always on the defensive, but there were almost no casualties. It would rather consume a large amount of territory resources than pay with human lives.

In fact, human life is the least valuable thing in this world.

But Zhou Bai attaches great importance to human life.

On this point, he disagreed but still admired it.

Zhou Bai listened to Viscount Lancelot's pointed words and said directly: "I was just wondering if we could swallow up Barnes Village before the territory war."

Viscount Lancelot was stunned when he heard this.

Swallowed before the territory war???

She really dared to think so.

but……

"Do you have a solution?" Viscount Lancelot asked hurriedly, with a hint of curiosity and yearning in his eyes.

If it is possible, it is not impossible.

The gains from swallowing up an entire territory and swallowing up half of a territory will definitely be different.

"Why does Barnes Village hate Hope Village?" Zhou Bai did not directly answer Viscount Lancelot's question, but asked directly.

"Because Hope Village has attracted too many people from Barnes Village." Viscount Lancelot was confused but still answered.

"Since his crisis is losing people, why not let his people lose more." Zhou Bai said simply and rudely, "There are still many people in Xiwang Village who used to be from Qinghe Village. If they return to their original territory to visit their relatives and talk more about the good things about Xiwang Village, I'm afraid they will be able to attract many people. At this time, what if news comes out that a top-ranked territory is going to attack Banes Village? Let alone the residents, let's just talk about those soldiers. Are they really willing to defend Banes Village at the cost of their lives? At that time, promise them that as long as they are willing, the soldiers of our territory can go to their territory to meet them. Once a hole is opened, Banes Village will completely collapse on its own."

"And then?" Viscount Lancelot thought about Zhou Bai's words in his mind, and he became more and more aware of the subtlety in them.

He didn't believe there would be no follow-up measures.

"If the people escape, can Banes Village cope with the territory war? Of course not! At this time, as long as someone comes to the Banes Village lord and agitates him a little, he may be willing to offer his territory for revenge."

"What if you don't want to offer it?"

"There is no if. As long as the timing is right, the other party will only have one choice." Zhou Bai said firmly.

Viscount Lancelot's eyes flickered. "You mean, when the other party receives a challenge for a territorial war?"

"right."

"What if the other party who chooses to surrender is the attacker in the territory war?"

Zhou Bai glanced at Viscount Lancelot and said, "Of course, at the beginning, we must make the Lord of Barnes Village hate the attacker of this territory war, and this attacker must also be the culprit."

"You already have the right person." Viscount Lancelot said confidently.

Zhou Bai smiled when he heard this, "I just happen to know that the territory war period of a territory is also in a few days. This territory ranks after me, but is much ahead of Barnes Village. Moreover, this territory is a new territory like mine."

How can Barnes Village feel at ease if it is on good terms with Hope Village?

In fact, in the eyes of Barnes Village, this territory is the same culprit as Hope Village.
