I hope that for a long time to come, everyone in the village will implement the policy of "retreat when the enemy advances."

Whenever the pig-headed people gain the slightest advantage in a battle, they run back to their territory.

After all, the Pig-Headed Men are strong and have no fear of death. If they really fight head-on with their desperate style, they will have to pay a lot of lives to defeat them.

But they only have one life, how can they die here!

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

The despicable fighting style of Hope Village was indeed constantly disrupting the rhythm of the Pig-Headed People's attack. Coupled with the assistance of the archers and crossbows on the city wall, although the Pig-Headed People's attack was more fierce and had the upper hand, their losses were greater than those of Hope Village.

The number of pig-headed people is constantly decreasing.

Gradually, the number of people has dropped from 500 to just over 400.

The speed of reduction was invisible. By the time Coleridge reacted, one-fifth of the warriors he brought with him had been reduced.

Another wave of fighting stopped, and when Coleridge stood outside the enemy's attack range with the remaining pig-headed men, he counted the number of people and looked incredible.

...

...

Not only did nearly a hundred soldiers die, but also half of the remaining four hundred were injured.

The extremely powerful Pig-Headed Man Legion could only be a group of injured Pig-Headed Man at this time.

More importantly, their morale was somewhat low due to the attack on Hope Village.

Their brains are not very smart, but they are not stupid.

On the surface, they were the "winners" because the people of Hope Village were always forced to flee.

But in reality, they lost miserably.

And they noticed.

They noticed the hired orcs in Hope Village. At first, there were dozens of people who fought against them. Both sides fought with fists and it was the most direct confrontation, and both sides suffered injuries.

But

The subsequent part made it clear that the injured orcs on the other side would basically not

How could they feel good about such a result?

If a human territory can treat a hired orc so well, why can't their own territory be treated the same?

All these thoughts of the Pig-Headed Man were obscure, and Lord Coleridge could not notice them, because he was just supporting the rear the whole time, focusing only on the battle situation.

After estimating the losses, Coleridge was shocked and became more and more anxious.

He doesn't believe it.

A level 2 human territory actually forced him to this point.

Looking at Coleridge, who exuded a gloomy aura, Paul remained silent this time.

He had said everything he needed to say. If he said more, he was afraid of being taken out on.

Grant looked at Paul, quietly walked up to him, and whispered, "You worked in Hope Village in the beginning? Did you leave because the other party looked down on the orcs?"

By now, Grant had realized that the situation in Hope Village was inconsistent with what Paul said.

Compared to what I saw with my own eyes, what I heard before is naturally questionable.

When Paul heard Grant ask this, he felt guilty, but it was only for a moment. He soon regained his composure and said "yes" firmly.

The orcs were able to do things for the human territory, which meant they respected him. He was just a little less obedient and drove them away without giving them any chance. Isn't this looking down on them?

Grant snorted. He didn't believe him at all.

He thought about Paul's character and had roughly guessed the whole process.

He didn't say much, just one sentence.

"Do you regret it?"

Paul lowered his head slightly, which was originally a little proud.

To be honest, he did regret it.

Thinking about it now, the time I spent in Hope Village was indeed the happiest time in my life.

It's not the external goodness, but the reality within.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Paul didn't need to say anything, his reaction proved these two words.

Grant said nothing, looking at the Hope Village in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

I wonder if he will have a chance to be hired later?

If he was hired, he would not be like Paul, this fool, who does not know how to cherish.

"Continue the attack!" Coleridge issued the order again. Obviously, he was still unwilling to give up.

All the pig-headed people listened and had no choice but to obey.

Who let their fate be in the hands of the lord!

Grant also withdrew his gaze at this time.

Why was he curious about Hope Village? It was because Lord Coleridge was too unreliable and he needed to find another way out.

Why not go to other orc territories? That's because people of different races who go to other territories will end up in a worse situation, unless it's the capital, but the capital is not a place for a low-level orc like him to go.

Now, the human territory of Hope Village has come into view.

According to the information revealed by Paul, the human territory and the orcs can choose each other. If it turns out not to be as good as he expected, he can also go back on his word.

It’s a pity that it’s just a thought now, and I don’t know if there is a chance.

The next moment he was thinking about it, he was fighting with the residents of Hope Village again.

The same goes for the other pig-headed people.

However, Zhou Bai, who was in the middle of it, soon discovered something was wrong.

After fighting again and again, she gradually figured out how to fight the pig-headed people.

The Pig-Headed Man can indeed perform many explosive skills, but as long as you can avoid these skills, the Pig-Headed Man will not be a problem.

She used this method to eliminate several pig-headed men, and other teams also gained something.

Therefore, when fighting again this time, she had already thought of countless ways in her mind to deal with the pig-headed man in front of her.

But after the real battle, she found that the pig-headed man on the opposite side was slacking off.

Yes, slacking off, not actively releasing skills, retaining maximum physical strength, and retreating at the first sign of danger, isn't this just slacking off?

Modified?

Zhou Bai fought and observed at the same time, and then found that it was not only the pig-headed man he was fighting, but also the pig-headed men others were fighting.

The pig-headed people who did not just rush forward became obviously more difficult to deal with.

But although they are difficult to deal with, the damage they cause to humans is also low.

Looking at Coleridge who was sitting in the distance, Zhou Bai already understood.

But even though he understood, Zhou Bai would not be polite.

The Pig-Headed People are taking advantage of the situation because they can't do anything to Hope Village. If they had a way, then Hope Village would be the one in misery now.

As long as you are on the battlefield, the other party is the enemy!

The other party had a way to survive, which was his ability, but it was not Zhou Bai's initiative to defend himself.

Not only Zhou Bai, but others also had the same idea.

They won't be polite.

How to repay kindness when you repay evil with kindness?

However, in comparison, the death rate of the pig-headed people is still much lower than before, and the Hope Village seems to be much more at ease.

Due to the Pig-Headed Legion's slackness, the battle lasted until night.

Coleridge had been focusing on the battlefield so much that he was unaware of the passage of time. It was not until it got dark that he realized how much time had passed.

It’s almost 10 hours!

It was also at this time that Coleridge began to feel something real.

He is afraid that he can’t take over Hope Village!

As soon as this idea came out, the people in Hope Village retreated again!

"Eat, eat."

"We'll play again after dinner!"

"Let's go, hurry up, I'm a little hungry."

“…”

In high spirits, the people of Hope Village once again left safely.

The pig-headed people remained silent as they looked at the crowd that didn't take them seriously at all.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo"

The next moment, their stomachs started to growl.

I'm so hungry.

Before they came, they didn't expect that they would not be able to take Hope Village after dawn.

But the fact is, not only did they fail to take it, they also suffered huge losses.

Then, many pig-headed people looked at Coleridge.

Coleridge finally noticed the dejection in their eyes, pursed his lips, and then said, "Let's take a break and eat too!"

The pig-headed people, understanding that he was unwilling to retreat, fell silent.

Then we returned to a safe area, started a fire, and prepared to eat.

It was getting darker.

In Hope Village not far away, torches were lit around the entire city wall, instantly illuminating the open space in front of the territory.

It seemed as if it was also an announcement to Coleridge and other orcs.

If you don't agree, come and fight! They are ready to fight you anytime!

While many pig-headed men were resting, Coleridge found Grant.

"You say, should I just retreat and go home?"

Grant: “…”—He really didn’t want to answer.

"Just tell me! I won't blame you."

"My Lord, you should have the answer in your mind." Grant avoided the main point. Who knows if the other party will settle the score later, so it is better to be conservative.

Coleridge paused, he already had the answer in his mind.

But he was unwilling to give in!

After a long while, Coleridge continued to give orders, "Prepare camp for the night."

"……yes."

Grant thought Coleridge would let the pig-headed men continue to fight, but he did not expect that after nightfall, Coleridge did not give any orders. He just stood in the camp, looking at Hope Village from afar with reluctance.

On the other side of Hope Village, everyone looked a little strange when they saw the pig-headed people stop attacking.

Standing on the city wall, many people couldn't help but talk when they saw the pig-headed people setting up camp within their territory.

"What are they planning to do? Are they planning to fight again after a rest?"

"I think they are planning to give up. After fighting those pig-headed men for an entire afternoon, they didn't know what they were doing. It's not as exciting as fighting the monsters!"

"You still have to be careful. Don't give up until the last moment!"

"Then what do you say? How about we just launch a surprise attack from behind and wipe them out completely?"

As he spoke, he looked eager to do something.

Others also provided some information.

Although they don't know how contributions are calculated in territory wars, it is definitely related to the situation of the enemy.

The more they kill, the higher their contribution will be!

Bayer looked at the temporary camp from afar and saw a figure standing there. He said directly, "They have basically given up. If we launch a surprise attack and provoke a counterattack from the enemy, all our efforts today will be in vain. So let it go!"

If the Lord has no other instructions, then let's stop here!

Bayer thought about it and calculated the gains and losses of this war in his mind.

The more I think about it, the happier I feel.

It had been a long time since he had fought such an enjoyable war.

I was happy last time, and I’m even happier this time.

When the others heard what the commander-in-chief Bayer said, they no longer had any objections.

Yes, the orcs didn't fight hard in the afternoon, not because they were incapable, but because they just didn't want to fight.

It's really too far away, and maybe it will be killed before others can rescue it.

I almost floated away.

In this way, the two sides, separated by a piece of open space, began to keep their distance from each other.

Time just passes by every second.

Coleridge did not sleep all night.

As for Zhou Bai, he didn't sleep well either.

After all, the village-level territory war lasted for 24 hours, and she couldn't really relax until the dust settled at the last moment.

finally,

[Dear host, the territory war has ended. Congratulations on your successful defense of your territory and victory. Rewards are being calculated. Please wait...]

After seeing this message, Zhou Bai fell asleep peacefully.

On the other side, Coleridge also received the message.

Looking at the information about the failed capture, Coleridge's face darkened, and he returned to Stanlo Village with the remaining pig-headed men.

In Stanlo Village, the pig-headed people in the territory who had not been taken away were preparing to welcome the return of their warriors.

In their opinion, since the lord and his men had gone so far, they must have successfully captured the city and looted good things in Hope Village, and they must have been able to bring back many slaves.

When they come back, it will be time to hold a celebration banquet.

Soon, after the same flash of light, Coleridge returned with his men.

When they saw the state of the pig-headed man that Coleridge brought back, the scene in Stanlo Village fell silent.

What's going on?

Shouldn't we seize a lot of resources and human slaves?

But now it seems that their pig-headed warriors have become much fewer, and most of the remaining ones are injured.

What's going on?

Could it be that...they, the Stanlo village, were defeated? Lost to the human territory?

The returning Coleridge naturally noticed the disbelief on these people's faces, and his expression became even gloomier. After entering his own territory, he went straight back to his residence.

The Lord said so, and the others remained silent.

The entire territory fell into silence.

Inside the territory, some human slaves' eyes lit up when they saw the pig-headed man returning from his serious injuries.

They knew that Stanlo Village was attacking human territory, and they originally thought that this time it was doomed to fail and they might face more "compatriots".

Unexpectedly, the human territory won! A level 2 human territory defeated a level 3 orc territory!

This is really good news!

So do they have a chance to return to human territory? As spoils of war? ?

But the next moment, the eyes of more human slaves dimmed.

Compared to the spoils that could be obtained in the orc territory, human slaves would never be an option for them.

Just when they were distracted, the pig-headed man next to them saw them being lazy and whipped them down.

"Don't be lazy. If you don't work, I'll beat you up."

Following these words, the slaves began to work one by one.

And soon, the settlement result of the territory war came out!
