"My Lord, Ningshan Village has won!" Just after Zhou Bai confirmed the news, Bayer also came hurriedly after seeing the information.

"Yeah, I just saw it too." Zhou Bai nodded, "It looks like it's completely occupied."

"Then will the Lord of Ningshan Village follow the original distribution plan?" Bayer asked subconsciously.

Ningshan Village relied on its own strength to take over the entire Banes Village. Even if it was just the remnant of a powerful force, it was still the savings of a level 3 village. Needless to say, after swallowing it, its strength would definitely increase rapidly.

By then, Hope Village and Ningshan Village might not be on an equal footing, so it is possible that Hope Village would swallow up things that originally belonged to it.

This is the more normal situation in his cognition, so this problem arises.

Zhou Bai listened to this and said directly: "No, if it really happens, it's good to use this little benefit to see a person clearly, which is better than finding out after the cooperation deepens."

Not to mention that people should have more trust in each other, in this world, she feels that her trust in people has begun to shift from character to interests.

If she believed in a person's character and failed, the price she would pay would not be something she could afford now.

Therefore, when facing other territories, she cannot blindly trust them, even if the other party is her compatriot.

...

...

Because as early as when she chose to become a lord, she was tied to the territory and the residents of the territory, and the interests she represented were no longer just her own.

Bayer listened to Zhou Bai's words with a somewhat surprised look on his face.

In his impression, he felt that the Lord was too kind and too trusting. He believed in the undead, the orcs like O'Neill, and the goblins like Mills...

Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It was because of the Lord's qualities that they were so devoted to her, and she had given them unparalleled trust.

Therefore, he was willing to filter out those bad people for the lord behind the scenes.

But now it seems that the lord is smarter and more sensible than he thought.

Her kindness has limits.

Of course, she is also growing up gradually.

Bayer suddenly thought of a new word he had learned from the residents.

Inside show.

My Lord, you are a man of inner beauty.

It seems ordinary, but in fact it is not ordinary. He always makes the right choice at the right time.

Even though she is not the smartest or the strongest, she is definitely a qualified lord.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right." Bayer felt relieved.

Zhou Bai looked at Bayer's reaction and knew what she was worried about. He smiled helplessly. In the eyes of his subordinates, was he so unreliable?

Just as the two were about to end the topic and deal with territory affairs, there was a knock on the office door.

"The lord of Ningshan Village is here." After coming in, the man reported quickly.

Zhou Bai paused, quite surprised. According to the timing, as soon as the other party won the victory and returned to his territory, he immediately rushed to Hope Village?

Are you in such a hurry? What's the matter???

"Please ask him to come over!" Zhou Bai and Bayer looked at each other and said casually.

Soon, Jin Jingshan was welcomed in.

After seeing Zhou Bai, he said directly: "I have taken over Barnes Village."

"Yes, I saw that Barnes Village has disappeared from the territory rankings." Zhou Bai nodded.

"After entering Banes Village, I took over all the remaining personnel and resources in Banes Village."

"Then the Lord of Banes Village..." Zhou Bai asked. What would that arrogant nobleman feel now?

Jin Jingshan paused and said, "He has become a resident of Ningshan Village. I have appointed him as the village chief."

After returning to Ningshan Village, he did not intend to deliberately leave the other party alone by discouraging him.

And the fact proved that he treated them so sincerely and Robin did not let him down. When he merged Hudson and other soldiers' teams into the Ningshan Village soldiers' team, Viscount Robin disrupted the teams of these soldiers and integrated them into other soldiers' teams.

As a result, the "remaining forces" in Banes Village could no longer cause any trouble.

Zhou Bai listened with a look of surprise. She knew how arrogant Viscount Robin was, but she didn't expect that he would still bow his head.

"You beat them badly?" Zhou Bai asked subconsciously.

Only by hitting the village of Barnes so hard that it has no power to fight back, will the other party make other choices out of despair.

"Not really! They had previously recruited professionals from Qinghe Village, and they surrendered as soon as they entered the battlefield, which affected the enemy's morale. They only had one effective attack, and it was difficult to organize after we disrupted their rhythm. As for the backup, the enemy had two, two high-level magic scrolls, one of which was offensive and the other was defensive. The offensive one almost killed me, and the defensive one was worn out of magic power by my attack, so it was less effective." Jin Jingshan simply described the situation, "I was able to survive because someone helped me behind the scenes."

Listening to Jin Jingshan's last words, Zhou Bai understood the key point of his words and asked directly: "Do you suspect it is Viscount Lancelot?"

"Yes, do you also think it might be him?" Jin Jingshan asked back.

"Well, it should be him. He has been to my territory before and mentioned that he would go to the scene to help. How come he didn't show up in front of you?" Zhou Bai said with some surprise. Is this a good deed that should not be left anonymous?

"No." Jin Jingshan replied, "But he must know that I would know it was his."

As Zhou Bai listened, he thought of Viscount Lancelot's previous attempt on Jin Jingshan, and then took 10% from him.

After a pause, Zhou Bai spoke up, "Perhaps, this is why he feels that he can take an extra 10% of your benefits. You gave him sincerity, and he returned your sincerity."

Jin Jingshan listened and suddenly understood.

It's just... he doesn't understand...

"Why would he do this? In fact, if he has such ability, wouldn't it be better for him to swallow up Barnes Village himself?" Jin Jingshan asked, keenly noticing some of the problems.

"They just want us to be their companions." Zhou Bai analyzed. To be honest, she just realized the heritage of these old villages.

No wonder Viscount Robin dares to be so arrogant, those two high-level magic scrolls are his greatest confidence.

If the village of Barnes had not suffered a series of blows, this territorial war would have been a complete success.

It’s the time and the fate!

Zhou Bai was still very glad that he took the initiative, otherwise, after the Barnes Village got through this difficult time, life in their area would be difficult in the future.

"Why are you looking for us?" Jin Jingshan asked sharply.

He always felt that there was something going on here, and perhaps Zhou Bai knew about it.

After hearing this, Zhou Bai pondered for a while before speaking: "This is just my personal speculation. Just listen to it. It's up to you to judge whether it is true or not."

"good."

"I think this world may be experiencing a doomsday crisis just like our Blue Star, and this doomsday crisis has been known to some territories, so these territories are working hard to strengthen themselves and find allies. I mentioned to you that there are still many aggressive territories in this world, and they act very arrogantly. But before, the aggressive territories on the Stan continent would be attacked by other territories, and no territory would allow them to exist for a long time. But now, many aggressive territories are active, but not many territories are willing to discipline them. This is enough to explain the problem." Zhou Bai also directly taught everything he knew.

How can any egg remain intact when the nest is overturned?

Zhou Bai didn't think his territory was strong enough to dominate the Stan continent.

Since that is not possible, it is natural to find more allies for one's own territory to jointly resist possible crises in the future.

Since Jin Jingshan told her the situation so frankly, she was also willing to be more frank and form an alliance with the other party.

Jin Jingshan listened to Zhou Bai's long speech and did not speak for a long time. It was obvious that he was digesting the information Zhou Bai said.

This fucking world.

He originally thought that managing a territory was the most difficult stage since he came to this world, but he didn't expect that there are always higher mountains than the other, and there are even more difficult levels waiting for him!

"What should we... do in the future? What if it is about to happen?" Jin Jingshan said.

Their territory has developed quite well among the Blue Star territories, but in the ranking of all the Stan continents, it is still considered to be one of the weaker ones.

They have made their fortune in a short time, so how will they cope when a crisis comes?

"Try hard to adapt, try hard to improve." Zhou Bai pursed his lips and finally said only these eight words.

"You're right." Jin Jingshan sighed.

All they can do is improve their own territory.

"Thank you." Finally, Jin Jingshan thanked again.

It is not easy to get this information, and it probably took a lot of effort to collect it.

"I'm not sure if my guess is correct, but it's better to be prepared." Zhou Bai replied.

In the end, no matter what, there is always something wrong with a strong territory.

"Then do you mind if I tell anyone?" Jin Jingshan asked. Now that he knew about this, he would definitely have to make good preparations, not only for his brother's territory, but also for several friendly territories.

"Of course I don't mind. The more territories I know, the better. At least I'll be prepared." Zhou Bai nodded, "But I still say that I'm not 100% sure."

In fact, if they knew about this earlier, some territories that have not yet developed might better understand the principle of survival of the fittest and stop working hard. Instead, they would promote the integration of territory resources and overcome difficulties together.

"I know." Jin Jingshan nodded.

After discussing this matter, the two tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

Jin Jingshan then said, "I have brought the resources I got this time, you can choose first!"

As he spoke, Jin Jingshan unfolded his "harvest" in front of Zhou Bai - the territory model of Barnes Village.

An entire territory was spread out on it, and the buildings on it were in full view, including public buildings, houses, shops, etc.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai began to observe subconsciously.

Obviously, the development direction of Barnes Village is different from that of Hope Village, so the public buildings are a little different from those of Hope Village.

Lord's mansion, farm, manor, blacksmith shop, tailor shop, grocery store, medical station, pharmacy, commercial street...all kinds of buildings appeared in front of Zhou Bai, ready for him to pick.

Without mentioning the others that don't have it, let's just talk about what does exist. They can be directly merged with existing ones to form higher-level buildings. This is why aggressive territories are so crazy. As long as they take over the territory, their own territory can develop expansively.

"Pick some buildings you want! In addition to buildings, there are also various resource materials." As he spoke, the page on the screen in front of Jin Jingshan jumped to the warehouse in Barnes Village.

Zhou Bai's gaze then fell on the warehouse.

There were countless types of items in the warehouse, and there were many materials that Zhou Bai had never seen before. She felt that she could not take it all in.

Really, taking over a territory is such a great profit.

Seeing the movement in Zhou Bai's eyes, Jin Jingshan said, "Viscount Robin mentioned to me that some of the resources and materials were collected at high prices when he went to some small towns or cities. He himself tends to collect some special things, so there are many things we don't know about. This world is too big."

Speaking of the latter part, Jin Jingshan felt a little emotional.

The more they understand this world, the more they feel that they are just a drop in the ocean.

If you want to truly be in this world, you still have a long way to go!

Zhou Bai felt the same as Jin Jingshan.

However, although she is very curious about this world, she does not have the corresponding strength. She is not prepared to get in touch with it so early. She will rather take it step by step at her own pace.

"Let's distribute each type of resource material according to the ratio we agreed upon before! This is the fairest way." Jin Jingshan continued.

We don’t know when a lot of materials will come in handy, so there’s nothing wrong in sharing them with others and getting their thanks.

Besides, he is the one who occupies the most here.

He believed that considering Zhou Bai's character, since he gave the other party good things, the other party would not forget him when he had good things in the future.

Indeed, Zhou Bai had already sensed Jin Jingshan's sincerity, and then nodded, "Let's divide the resources and materials like this! As for the buildings, let's wait until Viscount Lancelot comes and divide them together?"

She didn't have the nerve to make a choice directly, so it would be more reasonable if all three were present. In fact, because of Viscount Lancelot's life-saving grace to Jin Jingshan, Viscount Lancelot could be given priority.

This time she had gained enough benefits from the village of Barnes.

Not to mention anything else, the more than 5,000 people she obtained are more than these assets.

After all, she felt that population was the foundation of territory.

"Okay." Jin Jingshan agreed immediately. Then he divided the resources in the warehouse into 2, 5, and 3 parts in front of Zhou Bai, and gave Zhou Bai the part that belonged to him directly, and then packed the part that belonged to Viscount Lancelot.

After doing all this, Jin Jingshan left first.

He will come again when Viscount Lancelot appears.

In fact, Viscount Lancelot did not make him wait too long. In almost half a day, Viscount Lancelot arrived at Hope Village.

Obviously, if Lord Lancelot was present, then he would also be

The three of them gathered again, and Jin Jingshan talked about the allocation of resources, and then handed the things to Lancelot.

Viscount Lancelot looked at these resources and showed the same expression as Zhou Bai, but he still agreed, "Thank you."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. Thank you for saving me during the territory war, otherwise I would have disappeared." Jin Jingshan said seriously and performed a solemn thank you salute to Viscount Lancelot.

Viscount Lancelot was not surprised that Jin Jingshan would find out. The two had met before, and Zhou Bai must have informed Jin Jingshan.

After all, he was a person who did good things without leaving his name. He had mentioned to Zhou Bai before that the purpose of his going to the scene was to let Jin Jingshan know what happened after his return.

Thinking about what he learned from Ningshan Village, Viscount Lancelot smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. After all, we are companions. We should help each other! If I need your help in the future, I hope you can help me too. That's enough."

"Of course." Zhou Bai and Viscount Lancelot agreed without hesitation.

There is no conflict of interest between them, so they can naturally work together.

Then, Jin Jingshan suggested: "There are still many buildings in Barnes Village that have not been divided. Why don't we distribute them?"

Immediately, the three of them gathered around the map model of Barnes Village and began to distribute the tasks one by one.

The allocation was completed in a very short time.

The moment their distribution was completed and they were integrated into their own territories, the ranking of each territory moved forward a little.

And some of the territories that are paying attention to Hope Village

If a level 3 village like Banes could be conquered and captured in a very short time, then what about them? Wouldn't they also be in danger?

In addition, the occupation of Banes Village's resources will undoubtedly strengthen the forces that want to annex his territory, and may lead to an imbalance of regional territorial power.

After all, Hope Village’s products are now hot-selling in many territories, and many territories have paid attention to Hope Village, a new territory. The development speed of Hope Village is too fast, beyond their expectations.

They arrived at the Stan Continent at the same time as Hope Village and had the same starting point, but Hope Village was far ahead of them, leaving them far behind, so they had to pay attention.
