Hope Village.

After the challenge of the territory war was launched, many tourists stranded in Hope Village also received reminders.

Once the territory enters a state of war, it will be blocked and visitors must leave Hope Village before then. If they do not leave, they must wait until the war is over.

After Hope Village became one of the tourist destinations, there were quite a lot of tourists coming and going.

At least today, the number of tourists in Hope Village has reached more than 4,000.

Therefore, after receiving the notice, these tourists couldn't help but start discussing it.

"Are you leaving Hope Village?"

"I don't plan to leave. Hope Village is the challenger this time, so the danger is very small. It's not bad to stay here and watch the fun."

"What if you are the challenged party? Will you leave?"

"It depends on the situation! Anyway, I have more confidence in Hope Village."

...

...

"That's right. There's a territorial war going on, but so many shops are still open as usual, and many people are still working as usual. This is too orderly."

"It seems that Hope Village is confident in this territorial war."

"The Hope Village chose the famous aggressive territory of Fasal Village!"

"Fasal Village was defeated by Hope Village last time, and there is a high possibility that they will be defeated again this time."

"Not necessarily, because the attacking and defending sides are different. Hope Village is

"I still hope that Hope Village can win this territory war. Such a fun place cannot be destroyed."

"Indeed, Hope Village is unique in terms of food, drink and entertainment, and the prices are not very expensive. It is worth a trip."

"How about starting a bet and seeing if Hope Village can win?"

"Sure! Bet! Let's place a bet."

"Speaking of betting, I heard that there seem to be a lot of people going to the card room in the resort recently! And they stay there for the whole day, and I don't know what they are playing?"

"No news has been revealed?"

"If you ask someone who has played it before, you have to sign a contract and you can't share it with others. You can't teach how to play it anywhere, and you can't copy it yourself. It's pretty strict anyway."

"People still go despite the strict rules, which proves it's really fun."

"Come to think of it, I seem to have heard of it in other territories before, but I didn't expect it to be in Hope Village as well."

"Are there any other territories as well?"

"Yes, but those territories are more open to players. I heard that some people lost everything after playing there. After a few examples, I didn't dare to play there anymore. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation in Hope Village."

"Then let's wait and see. Although I hope that no one in the village has lost everything by playing this game."

"Oh, you guys are getting off topic. Hope Village's expedition team has already set out. It's not too late to go and see them now."

"Let's go and have a look."

“…”

By the time a group of tourists arrived at the scene, they were already shocked by what they saw.

It’s not because the number of people from Hope Village who went to fight was too large, but because the equipment they were equipped with was too terrifying.

All the equipment is purple, and all the weapons are gold grade.

Although it was common to see professionals in Hope Village equipped with such equipment and weapons, it was definitely not as shocking as seeing thousands of people equipped with them together.

"Hope Village is so rich!"

"How can we live without money? Every commodity we produce can become the pillar industry of a territory."

"I envy the soldiers of Hope Village. I heard that their weapons and equipment are free and are provided by the territory."

"Only a village as rich as Hope Village could be so extravagant, right?"

"No, you are wrong. There are many territories that are richer than Hope Village, but not all territories are willing to invest this money in soldiers."

"That's right... No wonder so many residents from other territories came from thousands of miles away just for Hope Village. It's a two-way journey!"

"They shouldn't all be soldiers! Where are their equipment?"

"Hope Village also provides it as a reward for participating in the war."

"This is worth a lot! What if someone signs up for the reward but isn't active in the battle?"

"You're overthinking. Professionals who want to participate still have to go through a selection process! It's not so easy for you to get it for free. Professionals who participate must be intermediate professionals. Of course, exceptions can be made for those with special skills."

"What special skills? Isn't it just about fighting ability that counts on the battlefield?"

"I don't know what the selection criteria are, but basically all doctors and pharmacists who sign up are accepted. Oh, and some people with good cooking skills have also been invited!"

"This tactic is hard to understand."

"Anyway, this group of people shouldn't suffer any loss. All those equipment and weapons are worth it."

"Also, normally when a level 3 territory goes to war, they usually only bring one or two thousand people. Hope Village probably brought three or four thousand people! Not to mention other things, the cost of transporting so many people is nearly 40 gold coins, and there are also the equipment equipped by these people and the subsequent rewards..."

"You won't know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked! The total cost of this battle is no less than 100 gold coins. This is a battle worth millions of copper coins! We must win to make up for the loss."

"No, if the selected territory hides its resources in advance, even if you win, you may not be able to get your money back! Otherwise, do you think that when so many territories fight, they all bring elite troops to minimize investment costs?"

"Now it seems that Hope Village's investment was really too big."

"Such a big move, isn't it just for winning?"

"Just wait! Now we have to wait a day to see the result. Anyway, the Fasal Village that Hope Village is fighting against is not a good thing."

“…”

While they were discussing, Zhou Bai brought more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 professionals, a total of nearly 4,000 people, to the teleportation range designated by the territory.

[Dear host, should we attack Fasal Village now? ]

"Yes." Zhou Bai exhaled lightly and agreed immediately.

Soon, a bright light appeared from the area where they were standing, and the entire group of people disappeared on the spot.

When they appeared again, they were on the territory of Fasal Village.

[This transmission cost 39 gold coins and 82 silver coins, which have been deducted.]

[Dear host, you have arrived at Fassar Village. As the challenger, please start the siege as soon as possible. ]

[Note: Village-level territory war, duration: 24 hours (countdown: 20:56)]

It was obvious that more than two hours of Hope Village’s preparation time had been wasted.

But for Zhou Bai, she felt that this little bit of time was worth wasting.

Only when you are fully equipped can you fight a quick attack.

Behind Zhou Bai, the soldiers were arranged in the correct formation, divided into four square formations in total.

Each phalanx has nearly a thousand people, including eight complete types of troops: infantry, cavalry, shield soldiers, spearmen, archers, horse archers, staff officers, and doctors. It also includes a logistics team, which is mostly composed of professionals and is relatively mobile in combat.

Each square formation is led by a colonel.

Currently, there are several people in the military camp who have reached a contribution of 5,000 and can be promoted to colonels. However, considering the current size of the army, only four people are allowed to be promoted. Therefore, only the top four military personnel have been promoted to colonels recently.

They are Li Xingteng, Heidi, Alik and Zhou Zhengping.

Therefore, these four people served as commanders of four phalanxes respectively.

Substitutes O'Neal, Lucas, Ling Mingzhi and Cao Jingshan serve as their deputies respectively, one to accumulate experience, and the other to provide timely supplements when accidents happen to the commander.

Under them, there are different squads, with the squad leader being a lieutenant and under the lieutenant are non-commissioned officers.

The teams maneuver according to the different attack directions, but no matter how they maneuver, the most basic 10-man squad remains basically unchanged. They are surrounded by familiar comrades, and daily training involves multiple 10-man squads acting together, using a unified command language.

At the same time, colonels, lieutenants, non-commissioned officers and soldiers often disrupt their cooperation to improve their coordination with each other.

The teams have been working together for a very long time, so even if the teams are disrupted, they can still cooperate with each other as quickly as possible.

As for the new soldiers drawn in this time, they had already been dispersed and integrated into the team, and had little impact on the overall situation.

At this time, Li Xingteng, Zhou Zhengping and others had come to Zhou Bai and Bayer to discuss the battle plan.

"Major Heidi and I will lead the attack and engage in the frontal battlefield." Li Xingteng said eagerly.

In terms of the order, he was the first to enter the colonel, and because of his extra contribution, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. He was considered the superior of the others, and there was nothing wrong with him being in charge of the main attacking phalanx.

As for Heidi, she is recognized as the strongest fighter in Hope Village and an explosive archer. Bows and arrows also play an important offensive role in this battle. She is the only other candidate.

"Okay." Zhou Bai nodded and handed the flag belonging to their team to them.

After getting it, Li Xingteng

"Okay!" O'Neal was actually willing to be in the main battle formation, and then he followed Li Xingteng happily.

After Li Xingteng left, Heidi's eyes turned to Ling Mingzhi.

Archers and shield soldiers are the best match.

Ling Mingzhi stood directly behind Heidi.

After these two people were selected, the remaining Alik and Zhou Zhengping were basically chosen at random.

Alik chose the right position to the right of Heidi and brought Cao Jingshan with him.

Zhou Zhengping chose the left position to the left of Li Xingteng and brought Lucas with him.

After the main and deputy commanders were assigned, they began to select the square formations.

The two new members, Maimaiti and Lucien, thought they would feel confused at this moment.

But in the end, they followed Pavel to join the square on the far right and found their positions in a short time.

"Just take your mercenaries with you and follow me." Pavel said directly and clearly.

"Okay." Lucien nodded, then looked around and found that there were relatively more professionals in his team. He opened his lips slightly and asked, "How do they select the team?"

"The two main battle teams in the middle are all soldiers who cooperate well with each other. The professionals are dispersed into the teams on both sides and the logistics team. This was arranged early. In addition, people who have just joined the soldier team are also in the left and right teams." Pavel's tone was a little touched when he spoke.

Once in the village of Barnes, he had always been a member of the vanguard. After the territory war began, he even decided to be a vanguard.

But in the end! He was informed that the newly joined soldiers, regardless of their rank, would assist in combat on the left and right sides.

After standing here in person, he was already convinced by Hope Village.

He thought it would be hard to find another territory like Hope Village where people were treated as human beings.

Maimaiti and Lucien listened to Pavel's words, looked at each other, sighed lightly, and said nothing more, but their determined eyes revealed their thoughts at the moment.

After much thought, the team's personnel have been basically completed.

The logistics team at the end of the team had spontaneously formed four small teams and stood at the tail of the formation.

The flags belonging to each phalanx were raised high.

"Attack!" With Zhou Bai's order, the team moved and headed straight for Fasal Village.

For them, this battle did not require them to consider too many strategies from beginning to end. There was only one main purpose: attack! storm! break the city! break into it!

Therefore, they did not need to hide their tracks outside the village of Fasal.

Just as Zhou Bai and his entourage were launching a massive attack, the detectives from Fasal Village

It has to be said that the appearance of several thousand people gave them a certain amount of oppression in terms of vision.

"My lord, they are coming." The investigator reported quickly.

"Where are they? How many people are here?" Wolfe asked hurriedly.

Although he also wanted to teach Hope Village a lesson, he would not underestimate Hope Village because he had suffered a loss at its hands once.

"There are several thousand of them, but we don't know the exact number. They are heading straight for our territory without any cover. I'm afraid they will arrive soon." The investigator said hurriedly.

Unexpectedly, Wolfe heard Aiden's voice just after he finished speaking.

"My Lord, they are coming."

Wolfe looked outside the city gate and saw Zhou Bai and his group.

Then I saw four neatly arranged columns, and at the front of these four columns were fully-equipped cavalry.

Even though each cavalry team only had a few dozen men in the front row, they were cavalry after all! They were cavalry that could maneuver on the battlefield and break through the enemy's square formation at an extremely fast speed.

The total number of cavalrymen in the four columns of Hope Village is quite large.

In addition, they are fully equipped with armor... which can give people a greater visual impact.

All in all, the lineup of Hope Village exceeded Wolfe's imagination.

It also made Wolfe realize that the people coming to Hope Village had bad intentions.

Aiden beside Wolfe also realized this and whispered in Wolfe's ear: "Hope Village's lineup doesn't seem to be a lineup that only intends to win the territory war, it's more like..."

——War of aggression.

Aiden did not say these three words, but how could Fasal Village, as an aggressive territory, not know them!

After Wolfe realized this, his face darkened unconsciously.

Things change, and now it's their turn to be invaded, right?

This feels so fucking uncomfortable.

"You go organize the team and prepare for battle." Wolf said to Aiden.

If they want to invade Fasal Village, they have to see if Hope Village has the ability to do so.

Aiden paused after hearing the order, "How many people?"

There are several thousand people in Hope Village. Even if not all of them are combatants, it is still a big challenge for Fasal Village.

If there are too few people in direct combat, won’t they be crushed?

"There are a number of slaves in the territory that have not been sold yet. Send out a thousand men to charge into battle, and transfer another two thousand soldiers from the barracks. With us supporting you, the situation should be stable." Wolf said directly, "We have to fight to find out the ways of Hope Village, and then we will have a better understanding of the battle."

Wolfe has extensive experience in siege warfare. Although he is defending the city now, he can still gain some insights from it.

For now, Wolfe is not panicked about the attack on Hope Village. What he cares about is that his dignity is being challenged.

Therefore, the only thing he was thinking about now was to teach Hope Village a severe lesson and, by the way, to avenge the previous humiliation and take back what Hope Village had taken away from him.

Aiden listened with a somewhat strange look on his face.

Slave!

He did not forget that during the last attack on Hope Village, except for a group of slaves who died, the rest were taken in by Hope Village, and they were of no use at all.

"We also used slaves last time..." Aiden reminded.

When Wolf heard this, he also thought of it. His eyes narrowed slightly and he said directly: "Put some of our people in there and surrender at the right time. At that time, Hope Village was on the defensive side and the slaves were useless. But now Hope Village is on the offensive side. Oh, by the way, tell those slaves that if they can survive on the battlefield, they can directly convert to resident status, and they can obtain soldier status by killing one person."

At that time, the slaves will attack madly for their freedom, which will make it seem more realistic!

"Yes." Aiden nodded.

Hope Village is well-known for its kindness and respect for life. When faced with the slaves' surrender, they will definitely agree.

Immediately, Aiden began to select his troops and generals.

They were prepared for the territory war and quickly organized their troops and left the city gate.

As soon as they went out, Zhou Bai and his party were only some distance away from the city gate.

Zhou Bai, who was at the front, stopped and looked at Bayer beside him.

Bayer understood, took the flag representing Hope Village from the soldier next to him, and thrust it directly into the air.

With a whistle, the front row of cavalry began to rush madly towards the gate of Fasal village, followed closely by the shield soldiers.

See you, Wolfe

There was a hint of disdain in the depths of his eyes.

It is good for cavalry to charge into battle, but if they charge when two armies are not facing each other, they will only become cannon fodder.

No matter what Hope Village’s plan is, let’s get rid of some of his combat power first.

Seeing that the people on the city wall were preparing to launch an archery attack, Aiden led the team to slow down the pace of the charge.

It's just the right distance to allow the archers to perform.

But at the scene, a strange scene happened.

The shield soldiers following closely behind the cavalry actually surpassed the cavalry in front, and directly set up rows of shields, two layers above and below, forming a low protective wall.

And even after the low wall was formed, the entire team continued to move forward.

While advancing, the arrows originally aimed at the cavalry hit the shields and then fell to the ground.

This scene happened so suddenly that Wolfe, Aiden and others were unable to react.

By the time they reacted, the shield soldiers had already entered the security zone set up at the gate of Fasal Village.

This distance is too close!

Wolfe realized this and immediately launched

Aiden is also

But Hope Village, which is well prepared, will never give up such a great opportunity.

Two teams of people quickly stepped forward and unfolded a magic scroll in their hands.

The moment the magic scroll was opened, two huge monsters smashed down directly in front of the shield soldiers of the main battle team.

At the same time, there were several catapults and crossbow carts standing on the left and right sides.

These things appeared at the same time, causing the ground in front of the gate of Fasal Village to shake instantly.

After the vibration subsided, it was discovered that an attack line with two huge monsters as the core, supplemented by other siege weapons and a low wall formed by the shields in the hands of the shield soldiers, was formed in front of the gate of Fasal Village.

Even a small number of the slaves who had run fast before were smashed into meat patties by these two behemoths. Even those who did not encounter these two iron mountains were dealt with by the quick-eyed and quick-handed soldiers of the shield team.

The slower slaves and soldiers were also stunned by this sudden situation.

What on earth is this thing? They have never seen it before!

Most importantly, they stood before them like a city wall, exerting unprecedented pressure on them.

They did not feel that they were defending the city, but only felt as if they were attacking the city, and they were under the city wall, in the most dangerous position.

A sense of fear arose in my heart, the fear of the unknown.

"Don't run away!" Aiden also sensed the fear of the people around him. He took the lead in dealing with a slave who wanted to escape, and shouted loudly.

He knew very well that the battle line of Hope Village had been stretched to the city gate and they could not retreat!

Frightened by Aiden's actions, not only the slaves dared not escape, but the soldiers following Aiden also gritted their teeth and rushed forward. They all knew the consequences of being a deserter in Fasal Village.

While Aiden was organizing the attack, Zhou Bai's side also shouted "Charge" which resounded through the sky.
