Hope Town.

Nearing noon, the beast tide's attack momentum gradually began to weaken.

"The beast tide is retreating! The beast tide is retreating! The beast tide is retreating!"

Someone sitting on a flying carpet came all the way from above Hope Town to notify us, and repeated it three times!

After hearing this news, the tourists were completely relieved.

Finally I’m going to quit!

Hope Town finally succeeded in advancing!

I hope the residents of the town are really happy, as they have announced this all the way here.

But it's worth being happy about it.

I hope the town can successfully advance to a level 3 town, and I’m afraid its ranking will move forward.

...

...

What does this mean? It means that Hope Town is going to become a strong town!!

It may even become the first town below the city.

There are many level 3 towns vying for this title.

Now Hope Town is also worth competing for!

But what happened next made them stunned!

What they didn't expect was that when they heard that the beast tide was about to subside, none of the residents of Hope Town relaxed. Some even rushed towards the city gate with weapons in hand before finishing their food.

The animal carts that were originally empty were filled one by one, then started and rushed towards the city gate at a rapid speed.

In a short while, the originally bustling street suddenly became deserted.

"Where did they go?" a tourist asked the clerk who stayed behind in a nearby store.

"Hahaha, they closed the door and went to beat the dog."

"Close the door and beat the dog? What is that?"

"Of course, we have to chase and intercept the monsters. This is the tradition of our town. When the beast tide is about to retreat, the monsters' desire to attack is the weakest. At this time, their combat effectiveness will be affected. Everyone will take advantage of the victory to chase and intercept them. This is a good opportunity to gain experience points!"

"...This answer is...outrageous." The tourists couldn't help but speak out, but thinking back on these words, they felt that they made sense inexplicably.

Subconsciously, some fighters were already chasing in the direction of the city gate.

These are all people who participated in the beast tide.

They felt that following the residents of Hope Town was the right path.

Let them also experience the unique experience of this Hope Town!

They left too, leaving behind a group of tourists who were not used to fighting, standing there in confusion.

Hope Town is indeed an unconventional place!

It was also at this time that, because the beast tide had receded, the mission center had been opened and had resumed welcoming and seeing off guests.

Open

This is the first time to advance to the beast tide

The other territories were either still in the process of upgrading, had already failed in the upgrade, or had been conquered by the beast tide.

Most of these territories are not open to the outside world. Even if they can be opened to the outside world, they will not be open. Anyone who allows someone to explore his or her weaknesses when he or she is at his or her weakest is seeking death.

So they could only come to Hope Town impatiently to find out the true situation of the beast tide from Hope Town.

Therefore, among these tourists there are also many lords and nobles from other territories.

As a result, after they came out of the mission center, they saw relatively deserted streets. Even if there were people, there were not many, and it was not as prosperous as they had heard of.

Many people who have been to Hope Town also felt strange.

He simply stopped the tourists on the street and started asking them.

"Did Hope Town suffer heavy losses in this beast tide?"

This is also the subconscious reaction of most people.

Everyone knows that it is not easy to advance to the beast tide this time. In addition, it lasted for a day and a night. How much manpower, material resources and financial resources did it cost? ?

Just a quick calculation and many people feel sorry for Hope Town.

Under such circumstances, they would rather doubt the current state of Hope Town.

Seeing their misunderstanding, the tourists quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no, I hope the town is great, it can't be better."

They had truly never seen such a spiritual territory and such spiritual people.

The new tourists looked at their reactions in surprise, with puzzled and inquiring eyes.

"Someone just sent a message that the beast tide has receded, and most of the residents of Hope Town are heading towards the city gate at a rapid speed." The person who spoke paused deliberately when he said this, "They are going to the city gate to deal with the remaining monsters."

"They don't intend to let the monsters left over from the beast tide leave. They want to catch them all in one fell swoop!" Someone nearby couldn't help but speak out in a loud voice.

They were shocked, and they wanted to shock others too!

New visitors: “…”

They were indeed shocked.

No, I hope the people in the town are sick, right?

Do you want it to be so curly!!!

There was silence for a moment at the scene.

After a while, someone finally spoke up, "How about we go and take a look?"

See with your own eyes how the residents of Hope Town deal with the beast tide.

Just like that, another large group of people who came to join in the fun headed towards the city gate.

One wave after another.

In a short period of time, Hope Town's "closing the door and beating the dog" approach instantly spread among tourists.

**

At the same time, at the city gate.

When the beast tide receded, Zhou Bai had already left the battlefield and returned to the city wall.

She also collected her group of holy-level monsters.

When she put them away, she could feel that this group of monsters were still very happy.

After all, as enemies, they can also increase their experience points by killing monsters. Increasing experience points means becoming stronger, and even monsters cannot refuse this benefit.

The departure of Zhou Bai and the group of Saint-level monsters did not affect the battle situation.

O'Neill and his group of orcs, Heidi and her group of undead, were seen as the beast tide receded.

The monsters were stopped on the front continent and tried to attack, but were beaten back forcefully and then went to the sides.

But at this time, Zhou Zhengping and other soldiers had already brought large weapons to block both sides.

When several teams gathered together, it meant that the battlefield in the direction of the South Gate was directly locked.

After being locked, the monsters had no way to retreat, and the rest of the soldiers and professionals in the rear also rushed over from the rear, attacking them from the front and back, and the only sounds left at the scene were bursts of fighting.

Soon, the same noise was heard from the west gate and the east gate.

“Go, go, go!”

“Kill, kill, kill!”

"I declare that the closing of the door and beating of the dog has officially begun!"

"Don't let any monster go."

“…”

Slogans rose one after another, echoing throughout the territory.

The tourists who had already arrived at the city gate were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, some people joined in, some watched, and the whole battlefield became lively and bustling.

Seeing that everyone was able to control the situation, Zhou Bai stood above and watched slowly, with a slight smile on his face.

In this way, with everyone's efforts, the number of monsters is decreasing at a very fast rate.

Perhaps at a certain point, the system automatically determined victory against the beast tide. Zhou Bai saw a new notification on his panel.

When I opened it, it was a surprise.

[Congratulations host, your territory

[Congratulations to the host, you have passed the territory upgrade test and obtained 4 buildings. ]

【……】

Successfully promoted to level 3 town!!!

When the dust settled, Zhou Bai couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Then according to past experience, Zhou Bai

I have just been promoted and have already upgraded once when I was carrying out infrastructure construction to expand the territory. Will my ranking rise again?

Thinking about this, Zhou Bai looked at the territory panel with a quickened heartbeat.

The number of words behind the territory ranking has changed.

【Territory ranking: 333】

When Zhou Bai saw this number, he was stunned.

It’s not that this number is a coincidence, but that this ranking represents 1 of the 3-level towns.

Because, 332nd is a city-level territory.

Hope Town has become the No.1 among all towns???

After confirming it again and again, a hint of joy flashed across Zhou Bai's eyes.

This ranking is the biggest feedback for Hope Town.

Then, Zhou Bai prepared to start unlocking the buildings.

When unlocking the system, Zhou Bai felt no pressure at all and was in an extremely relaxed mood.

Because she knew very well that Hope Town had done its best as a small town-level territory, and adding these buildings later would not change anything.

However, is it really as Zhou Bai thought, that the rankings of cities, towns and villages are stable?
