War Beast Mercenary Team Activity Center.

On the table in the conference room were tea, fruits, snacks, desserts and other items, which clearly showed that it was a private party.

While Zhong Yongnian was welcoming Lucien and the others here, he was also preparing to introduce Lucien and the other new mercenary teams to other mercenary teams in Hope Village. This would help them get to know each other better when they travel in other territories in the future, avoid conflicts, and even allow them to cooperate at critical moments.

They don't know what the relationship is between the mercenary teams outside, but in Hope Village, they still hope that everyone can unite together so that they can deal with the evil spirits outside.

Lucian, Maimaiti, Miguel and others had never experienced a gathering together in the territory. They looked left and right, and their expressions were a little unnatural.

As if he noticed their nervousness, Zhong Yongnian calmly picked up the cup and drank the beverage, while Yun Juncai peeled a fruit, and Watt and Ellis also ate some snacks.

Suddenly, some tiny noises appeared in the quiet conference room.

"Let's eat something first, some people haven't arrived yet!" Zhong Yongnian said to Lucien and the others.

"Yeah." It must be said that seeing Zhong Yongnian's comfortable and natural look, Lucien and the others' expressions also became natural.

Mercenaries are not likely to be shy, and after a brief psychological preparation, Lucien and the others were able to eat and drink naturally at the table.

...

...

But they had a deeper understanding of the mercenary team in Hope Village.

They really didn't expect that the relationship between the mercenary teams in Hope Village would be so good.

It’s incredible to think about it.

You know, there is still a competitive relationship between mercenary teams!

While Lucien and the others were thinking, new people began to enter the meeting room.

Soon, the entire conference room was full.

Seeing that almost everyone was here, Zhong Yongnian spoke up, "The reason I invited everyone here today is actually to introduce you to the new mercenary team that has joined our territory."

"Phantom Mercenaries, Lucien, our team is good at extremely fast attacks."

"Frost Mercenary Team, Mai Maiti, our team is good at ice magic, with high damage value. We can use ice magic to slow down the enemy in a short period of time."

"Wild Wolf Mercenaries, Miguel. Our team is basically made up of swordsmen who are good at combos and have an efficient way of killing enemies."

“…”

Lucien and others generously introduced their situations and talked about their advantages. In fact, they also revealed their own cards, showing extraordinary sincerity.

Several mercenary teams from Hope Village listened and looked at them with bright eyes.

As soon as you hear it, you know that the first three stronger mercenary teams are all offensive mercenary teams, which is of great benefit to the composition of their territory's mercenary teams.

Immediately, several teams introduced themselves enthusiastically.

"Kara Mercenary Team, Maria, our team is a support team. When we cooperate with other mercenary teams in combat, we can restore a large amount of health and magic points to the opponent. Currently, most of our work is collecting medicinal plants. If you have any medicinal plants, you can sell them to us and exchange them for various potions that can be used outdoors."

"Tianxia Mercenary Team, Zhang Wenhan, most of our team members are beastmasters. If you encounter a monster with special skills, you can try to capture it alive. We need it urgently!"

"Beast Mercenaries, Antonio, we are all orcs. If you follow us, we can be your tanks. Oh, tanks are meat shields. We have thick skin and flesh, so we are not afraid of charging into battle."

“…”

"We won't introduce ourselves in detail. Compared to them, each has its own characteristics. We are basically a comprehensive team. Yun Juncai and I are a little special. I do business and he is a broker. Our main focus is not fighting." After the others finished introducing themselves, Zhong Yongnian concluded.

On the main road, Lucien and his friends also got to know some of their teams.

After understanding the situation, Lucien and others looked at these mercenary teams and compared their numbers, and were a little shocked.

The point is not how complete their types are, but the astonishing number of mercenaries in these mercenary teams, starting at at least two to three hundred, and the most, including Zhong Yongnian, is almost five hundred.

In addition, there are many other smaller mercenary teams.

This means that the number of mercenaries in Hope Village has reached a terrifying number.

Including them, there are at least five thousand mercenaries in Hope Village.

You know, mercenaries are all professionals!

There are also other professionals who have not formed a mercenary team and soldiers in the soldier team.

Professionals in Hope Village actually make up the majority of the residents.

This combat capability is definitely one of the best among level 3 villages.

Oh no, maybe it can also stand firm in a small town-level territory.

Lucien and the others were all a little flushed and dazed.

They originally thought that the situation in Hope Village had surprised them enough, but they didn't expect that there were even more surprises.

Seeing the surprise in Lucien and his men's faces, most of the mercenary teams were no longer surprised.

The extremely high probability of professionals in Hope Village is a huge shock to every mercenary team that joins Hope Village.

"Can the resources near Hope Village supply so many professionals?" Lucien asked subconsciously after being shocked by the strength of Hope Village.

No matter how powerful Hope Village is, it is just a village-level territory. It should not be able to support so many professionals, right?

"The resources near Hope Village are basically supplied to mercenary teams with fewer people and lower levels. We usually don't operate near Hope Village." Ellis is familiar with Lucien. After listening to his question, he took the initiative to answer, "Before, we all operated near the town of Benguela. Later, after the territory was opened to all village-level territories, we could accept more missions in our territory. When we go to other territories to accept missions, we will also go to the small town-level territories near those territories. There is no need to compete too much for resources."

Lucien, Maimaiti, Miguel: "..."

——Is it still possible to do this?

The surprise in Lucien and the others' eyes was too obvious. Ellis felt a little embarrassed, but soon calmed down.

He also felt it was not good before, but later he heard that...

"We are all operating outside the territory of the small town. Those places are unowned areas. Since they are ownerless, we can naturally act there. Moreover, our participation will save the caravans and residents nearby a lot of trouble! It's a win-win situation, there's nothing wrong with that." Ellis said firmly.

Lucien and the others felt a little dizzy as they listened, as if what he said was true.

"Your team is basically a mid-level mercenary team. How about you join us and go to a farther place when the time comes?" Ellis continued.

Lucian's team is pretty good too, so being with him would be a strong combination. Maybe we can go for a walk around the city-level territory!

"Okay!" Lucien nodded. He thought that since they had just arrived, they would be able to get into the state faster if they had a familiar team leading the way.

They finally realized that Hope Village was different from Barnes Village, completely different, not only in terms of customs and habits, but also in terms of style of doing things.

After Lucian was chosen, several other mercenary teams that often had to travel out also quickly decided on their partners.

In a short while, these new mercenary teams were divided up by the old mercenary teams.

Zhong Yongnian and Yun Juncai, who organized this "meeting", couldn't help but look at each other, with a tacit understanding in their expressions.

Once you get on the boat to Hope Village, there's no way you can escape.

Watt was in the middle of it and felt that the scene was too familiar.

Everyone is drunk but he is sober!

Hope Village is a pit. Once you fall into it, no one can escape.

However, there are treasures in this pit, so they are reluctant to escape.

**

In this way, the 3,000 residents of Barnes Village, whether they were residents, soldiers or mercenaries, were integrated into Hope Village under its strong inclusiveness and slowly got on the right track.

This situation did not escape the eyes of those who stayed in Hope Village for fun, vacation, or investigation.

Magic equipment shop.

"Hope Village will probably become a small town soon." After learning about the movements of the residents of Barnes Village, Marvin returned to the store and spoke to Wendell.

I also feel a bit emotional.

When I first knew Hope Village, it was just an ordinary small village. I didn’t expect that it is now only a stone’s throw away from a small town.

If we have more time, will we surpass the town of Benguela?

"It's only a matter of time." Wendell didn't show any surprise on his face, because all this was within his expectations.

Since they entered Hope Village, Hope Village has been constantly refreshing their understanding of it. His face is already swollen as it can't be swollen any more, how could he get slapped in the face again!

Marvin listened and thought so too.

Being able to make people feel confident about a territory is also the ability of Hope Village.

"Is there any movement in the territory?" Wendel continued to ask.

Before, the Earl had been in Hope Village, apparently for a long vacation, and then he suddenly left. He always felt that there must be something going on here. If there was something going on, he wanted to see if there was anything here that could allow him to make a contribution and try to catch the Earl's attention.

Marvin listened and reacted instantly, saying directly: "The Earl left with Baron Charlotte at that time. A few days later, two Saint-level magicians came from the capital and accompanied the team personally selected by the Earl to go out on a mission."

"What mission?"

"We went to the territory near the sea for the shells."

"Shells? Cement?" It is well known that the raw material of Hope Village's great weapon, cement, is shells.

Hopefully the village will manage it strictly so that less cement will be wasted.

Even the Earl didn't seem to benefit from Hope Village.

"yes."

Wendel was silent. Before, when the Earl knew the function of cement, he was not so anxious. But after discussing it with Baroness Charlotte, he became anxious to get it. There must be something wrong here.

He didn't know what it was, but he could try to learn more about cement, which would definitely come in handy at the critical moment.

Quickly, Wendell took out a notebook.

The notebook records the recent events in Hope Village.

There were too many, and he had already written them all on the last page.

Hotel No. 12.

After many hardships, Aiden finally arrived at Hope Village two days ago.

Even though he entered Hope Village using identities from other territories, because it had not been long since the last territory war, Aiden was very low-key after entering Hope Village and settled his team in a hotel. He then traveled to various corners of the territory, listening to news about Hope Village.

But every piece of news he heard made him numb.

It turned out that Hope Village had opened the task center shortly after it survived the territory war with the help of the upgraded beast tide. After the task center was opened, it was opened to all village-level territories.

After the opening, his lord came in person and gave him a severe scolding.

Let's not talk about this for now, let's just talk about Hope Village's open attitude. Is it meaningful for him to go through so many hardships and pass through multiple territories to come to Hope Village? No, because it is obvious that Fasal Village will understand Hope Village's movements faster through the mission center.

He really worked in vain.

"Captain, I saw that guy Rashid. He went to Hope Village openly and then returned to Fasal Village. He must have given the news to the lord faster than us." One of Aiden's subordinates said, with an indignant look on his face.

Well, you work so hard to be an undercover agent, but others just take a shortcut and overtake you. Just tell me if you are angry or not.

Aiden was naturally angry, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

Time waits for no one.

However, being able to become the lord of Fasal Village, Wolf

"We didn't collect information about Hope Village as quickly as Rashid and his team, but it's different for other territories. We should hurry back to the territories and choose a suitable territory for the lord as the target of invasion among the territories we pass through. Then the lord will remember our kindness." Aiden analyzed calmly.

"Captain, do you mean that in the next territory war, the lord will not choose Hope Village? But the lord is obviously so angry and has asked his superiors for help." The subordinate spoke subconsciously. He knew that his lord was a vengeful person. Hope Village made him suffer such a big loss, how could he let it go?

"You have also seen the situation in Hope Village. How do you think Fasal Village compares to Hope Village?" Aiden asked.

"...Hope Village is indeed better, especially after the arrival of people from Barnes Village, Hope Village has become even stronger." With more than 5,000 people, most of them are professionals, this combat power is absolutely strong.

"We couldn't defeat Hope Village before, let alone now, and the current population of Hope Village has exceeded the scale of a small town. Looking at the size of the building complex, Hope Village can already be upgraded to a small town. The decision to upgrade or not must be to better deal with the tide of upgraded beasts in the territory. Last time we suffered a loss under this circumstance. This time, if we fight again, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss again. Even if the lord becomes demented, he will know that now is not the time to deal with Hope Village." Aiden said.

His lips moved, and he agreed with Aiden's words in his heart.

Hope Village is growing too fast.

Things had changed a lot when they arrived, and in just two days, they had changed even more.

Which one is the aggressive territory? Hope Village is expanding at a very fast speed.

"Then when do we leave?" asked the subordinate.

"Leave now." Aiden said without hesitation.

There's no point in getting any valuable information by staying here any longer.

"yes."

Then, the entire team quickly left Hope Village.

He comes and goes without a trace, leaving no trace.

Mission center.

"Go back and report to the Viscount!" said one captain of the soldiers in Barnes Village to another.

"……Um."

The conversation between the two was brief, but the thoughts in their minds were not short.

The two had seen how life in Hope Village went after the residents of Barnes Village defected.

Two words: envy.

Before they came, they wondered whether these people would regret their choice, but now it seems that they will not regret it, but will be more fortunate.

They are the ones who regret it.

But they also knew that there was no chance.

The territory lost more than 5,000 people, and now there are less than 2,000 people left. The territory will no longer give them the chance to escape.

While they were thinking about it, the two of them had already stepped into the teleportation array.

After a dizzy spell, when the two came to their senses, they had already returned to Barnes Village.

"How is it?" Viscount Robin was waiting at the mission center, and when he saw the two of them coming back,

The two people who came back listened and looked a little embarrassed.

But one of them still said: "

"Is there any trouble?" Viscount Robin asked.

"...No, everything is settled well."

After hearing this, Viscount Robin's face darkened.

What an ungrateful bastard. A bunch of ungrateful bastards.

Just when Viscount Robin's eyes were fierce, some soldiers rushed in hurriedly from outside.

"My Lord, the Lord of Glasgow Village has arrived with a group of soldiers!"

Viscount Robin frowned as he listened.

Glasgow Village? Lord Lancelot? What was he doing here? To rob?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Viscount Robin snorted in his heart.

If anyone dares to take advantage of the situation, he will make sure to skin the person alive even if he dies.

"Let's go and take a look."
