The day Zhou Bai officially became a landlady, a mysterious game descended! She traded several buildings in the city for a mysterious reward. After the game officially launched, her reward arrived!...
At the same time, in the cloud forest.
Small teams gradually returned from other parts of the cloud forest, but they did not return with a full load, but with nothing.
Among them was Ling Mingzhi, a close confidant of Ke Gaojie.
You should know that the supplies displayed at the surrounding supply points are updated at irregular intervals every day. Although the items that come out are based on the environmental conditions, the quantity is definitely not small. There are also magical beasts. As the strength of the people in the territory increases, there will only be more and more of them, and they will not easily decrease or even disappear.
Especially the boss, which must be refreshed every day. Even if the number is limited, it is also the biggest source of gain for the territory team in a day.
In this case, this matter can only be done by Hope Village.
But they arrived relatively early, and the residents of Hope Village also collected supplies and cleared out the monsters. This clearly showed that the residents of Hope Village were always preparing for battle and did this at night.
Not to mention how they did it at night, just their strength is probably higher than they imagined.
Ke Gaojie is not stupid. Even if Ling Mingzhi spoke cryptically, he knew what he meant.
His face was slightly gloomy. He had just been thinking of launching a surprise attack at night. While they were defending during the day, they cleared out the supply points in Hope Village. This could be considered as taking advantage of Hope Village.
...
...
But he never expected that Hope Village would also be the one to take advantage of the situation.
"Damn it!" Ke Gaojie couldn't help but curse out loud.
His mind told him that he should retreat, but emotionally he really didn't want this battle to end in vain.
In his opinion, the Doomsday Game System created this war obviously to provoke competition between territories and use the resources of weak territories to promote the development of strong territories.
He failed this time. Not only did he lose the territory's resources, but the development of the entire territory would lag behind. If he fell behind, he would be beaten. In the future, his territory might be controlled by other powerful territories. How could Ke Gaojie, who became arrogant after becoming a lord after the doomsday game, tolerate this?
So he can't give up.
"As soon as it gets dark, we will launch the attack!" Ke Gaojie said calmly.
Ling Mingzhi looked at him blankly. He still wanted to fight even after this?
"We will feign defeat and consume their resources first, then launch a surprise attack in the early morning when they think we are retreating."
This is his last chance.
Furthermore, if they were really defeated, the other party would not have suffered no losses.
"Will they be fooled?" Ling Mingzhi asked back.
Ke Gaojie glanced at him and said, "We are the only ones who know this, and no one else knows. We just need to make them think that we are really attacking. If some people die, it will make them believe that we are really defeated. So what? Many people have died in the Doomsday Game anyway."
Listening to Ke Gaojie's words, Ling Mingzhi couldn't help but shudder.
I originally thought that Ke Gaojie was just arrogant, even a little harsh, but at least he managed to maintain the stability of the territory. But I didn't expect that Ke Gaojie's heart was so vicious.
He adapted to this doomsday game too quickly.
"Don't worry, you are my confidant and you have always supported me. I will never give up on you no matter who I give up on." As if he had noticed Ling Mingzhi's worry, Ke Gaojie hurriedly comforted him.
Ling Mingzhi: “…Yes.”
Seeing Ling Mingzhi being so tactful, Ke Gaojie turned back to the crowd and spoke to the team that was gradually returning, "Everyone, gather your strength. Once it gets dark, we will start an all-out attack. Lucas and his men will lead the charge, and you just need to follow them. Then, listen to my orders and retreat at any time. Don't worry, if we can't win, I will retreat as soon as possible and won't let our team sacrifice in vain. If anyone gets hurt, I will also be responsible and the reward will be doubled."
Ke Gaojie's subsequent words reassured many people at the scene.
It looked like he was just trying to attack.
Ling Mingzhi, who was in the crowd, felt even colder in his heart as he listened to the other party's high-sounding words.
Is such a cold-blooded person worth following?
While the mobilization was going on here, Heidi and Frey looked at each other in a tree not far from them, and left in an instant.
Just as they were leaving, Lucas seemed to sense something, looked in the direction they had just been, and searched keenly.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem over there?" asked the tiger-headed man O'Neill.
"I seemed to feel a subtle magical fluctuation just now, maybe it was my illusion!" The ogre Lucas thought about it carefully and still felt that he was wrong.
It is unlikely that a magician would appear among the residents of a level 1 village, and even if one did appear, he would not be able to escape his perception.
"It's just your illusion. I didn't feel anything." Tiger-headed O'Neill said firmly, then looked at the stunned minotaur and pig-headed man, "What about you?"
The Minotaur Fred and the Pig-headed Paul shook their heads and said in unison, "No."
Looking at their appearance, the tiger-headed man O'Neill's eyes were filled with disgust. There was also a chain of contempt among the Orcs. The Minotaur had only brute strength, and the Pig-headed Man only knew how to eat. They were basically the vanguards of the Orcs who charged into battle.
But it's not bad to have them. They take the lead in doing things and he can just enjoy the benefits in the back, thought the Tiger-Headed Man O'Neill, and started counting the gold coins in his account again.
It's really easy to make money in this human territory! It would be great if I could summon more tiger-headed people later.
The scene on this side returned to silence. While everyone was thinking about how to launch a sneak attack at night, Heidi and Frey on the other side had already returned to Hope Village.
Seeing the two people appear, everyone's eyes fell on them.
"How?" Bayer asked first.
"There are about 200 people, all above level 7, and four orcs: a dog-headed man, a tiger-headed man, a minotaur, and a pig-headed man. The dog-headed man has special abilities and should be able to estimate our population. In addition, with the threat of the city wall, they dare not act rashly. They plan to collect supplies and hunt monsters in the Cloud Forest first, but they were almost wiped out by the residents of our territory."
As Heidi spoke, Bayer glanced at Zhou Bai inconspicuously.
He knew that as soon as it was past 12 o'clock last night, after confirming that the rain in the territory had stopped, their lord immediately issued a night mission, saying that it was to train the team's ability to walk in the dark. As a result, many teams in the territory bought anti-dark suits and started their night hunting missions.
Their team of soldiers also cleaned up and regarded it as training.
Before, he really thought that Lord Zhou Bai really wanted to train the residents of the territory to be able to move at night. After all, many battles in territory wars did take place at night.
But now, he doesn't think so!
He had a feeling that it was obvious that Zhou Bai didn't want other territories to fleece Hope Village.
So stingy!
But... he likes it.
At this time, Bayer felt really good when he heard that the other party's hopes were dashed.
Zhou Bai noticed Bayer's vague gaze and remained calm.
Those were the territory's resources, how could she give the opportunity to others? Not even a slight possibility.
Fortunately, she did the right thing.
It's another day to protect the territory and property.
After Heidi finished talking about this incident, she continued to talk about Ke Gaojie's subsequent plan. When the plan was put forward, Li Xingteng, Zhou Zhengping and others who were listening at the scene could not help but get angry.
"Isn't this Overlord Village Lord too disgusting?"
"What are the residents to him?"
“It’s so inhumane!”
"We are all human beings, how could he do this?"
“…”
The residents of Hope Village were all furious. Bayer and other NPCs were used to it. Looking at everyone's indignation, they said coldly: "On the Stan continent, in the territories, this is too common. If sacrificing some people can win, many lords are willing to do so, and some are even doing it!"
Even he and Heidi became ghosts because they were forced to sacrifice in the struggle between territories.
Only these humans could be so angry. He originally thought that these humans who suddenly appeared might be so innocent because the past days were too peaceful. Now it seems that they are just exceptions. After a long time, they will be assimilated into reality.
Zhou Bai in the crowd listened to Bayer's words and looked at the NPCs who were used to it. He spoke directly, "Just because others do that doesn't mean we have to do the same. We acknowledge the sacrifices in the territory war, but we don't acknowledge deliberately sending people to death to win!"
Even though the arrival of the doomsday gaming world has changed the world and the rules of survival, she has learned to fight hard, but no matter what, some bottom lines cannot be lost.
"Yes, we don't agree. We can use strategies in war, but we can't use conspiracies and tricks." Zhou Zhengping also spoke in agreement and glanced at Zhou Bai with relief in his eyes.
"That's right, if you deliberately send people to their deaths, such a territory will not last long."
"If we knew that the territory treated us like this, such a territory would not be worth serving."
"If we fight fair and square, even if we die, it will be because we are inferior to the opponent. But if it is intentional, I will die with regret."
“…”
Opposition voices were heard one after another at the scene.
At this moment, the hearts of Bayer and other NPCs were touched.
Although the residents of Hope Village are all weak and even have various minor problems, most of them are different from the humans in this world. They are kind and principled...
What Bayer and the others were more concerned about was the lord Zhou Bai. They did not forget that it was Zhou Bai who jumped out first. In addition to opposing, it was more of a warning to them, warning them not to use the same method as Ke Gaojie.
He was wrong. Perhaps it was not an exception, but because the lord who led this territory was special and preserved this specialness.
Bayer took a long breath in his heart and said seriously: "Even if other territories are doing this, our territory will not do this!"
He had a hunch that if this territory could continue to develop so smoothly, it would become a force that could not be ignored on the Stan continent in the future.
Because beauty is always something we yearn for.
