Aberdovey Village.
Zhou Zhengping and his team are helping the village of Aberdovi to deal with the sudden attackers.
They never expected that they would encounter special weather when they were about to leave Aberdovich. When they heard the residents of Aberdovich mention that they would encounter a special kind of fire monster in the hot weather in their territory and prepared to stay for a few days, they suddenly encountered the territory war of Aberdovich and were forced to participate in the territory defense battle.
“Shattered into pieces!”
"Disarm!"
"The fire is blazing!"
“The flood is coming!”
“…”
Various spells rang out on the battlefield, and it was obvious that a group of magicians were fighting.
Compared with the opponent's relentless pressure, the magicians on the side of Aberdovi Village were more focused on defense.
...
...
"Armor protects you!"
"Call the guards!"
"Back to normal!"
“…”
Compared with the comings and goings of this group of magicians, Zhou Zhengping's group seemed particularly out of place.
Because, although they could understand the spells these people chanted, they were unable to cast them. It was only after coming here that they realized that magicians could have so many means of attack, which simply dazzled them.
The professional who was once one of the best in Hope Village is like a novice here. Just like now, he can only use the most primitive means to attack and defend.
This is not the point. The point is that Aberdovey Village has already shown a decline in this defensive battle.
This means that the village of Aberdovy is likely to fail in the territory war or even be captured.
Although they have never seen what happens to the residents of the territory after it is conquered, the native residents have mentioned that if the territory is conquered by other races, they will plunder the population as slaves, and they will be displaced from then on and will hardly be able to return to the human territory. If it is conquered by other human territories, it depends on whether they have value. Those who have no value may become slaves of some nobles.
In short, after the territory is conquered, the fate of the residents is basically handed over to others.
They are now in the village of Aberdovey and face the same risks as other residents.
"It's so unlucky! If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed one more day!"
"This village that attacked the city was obviously well prepared."
"They all have heat protection gear on them."
"Compared to them, not all residents of Aberdovey Village have heat-resistant equipment. I'm afraid the strength of both sides is reversed."
"We have to consider the way out."
“…”
Several professionals couldn't help but speak in Zhou Zhengping's ear. In the end, they all hoped that they could escape from Aberdovi Village unscathed.
Zhou Zhengping frowned as he watched the professionals from Aberdovi village who had no protection from heat-resistant equipment and were constantly being replaced.
At first, Aberdovey Village was able to resist the attacks from the enemy, but as time went by, Aberdovey Village's resistance became weaker and weaker.
I believe that before long, the village of Aberdovy will really be unsustainable.
Zhou Zhengping's mind started working rapidly at this moment.
After a while, he said to the captains of several teams in the team: "We are in war now. The probability of us leaving Aberdovi Village is too small. We will only have a chance after Aberdovi Village is captured."
"A surprise attack when the enemy is breached?" one of them asked.
"Yes, after attacking the city, they can only capture people within a limited time. If we prepare for a surprise attack, they will most likely not focus on us," Zhou Zhengping replied.
There is only this one chance. The longer it takes, the smaller the chance that they can leave safely.
After all, this siege territory came with great force and was well prepared, so their plans might be deeper than he imagined.
In order to avoid getting involved in this mess, we have to act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
This is their only hope.
"Okay." Several people responded in unison.
Then, they began to discuss the formation in a moment, the direction of departure and other details.
In times of crisis, they will exert their utmost strength.
While they were discussing, someone noticed them.
"It seems that those tourists have discovered it too?" Richardson, the lord of Aberdovy village, said with a tired look. After the previous wave of attacks, he retreated to rest for a while.
But even when he was resting, he couldn't feel at peace.
He had a feeling that he couldn't escape.
What he encountered was not a simple territorial war. The other party would not allow this territory to continue to exist.
By then, there will be no need for him as a lord to exist.
"Can they escape?" asked Bob, who was beside Richardson.
He is Richardson's confidant, his entire life belongs to Richardson, and being by Richardson's side, he is very clear about the details of some things.
He knew very well that this territorial war would be a disaster for them.
However, he was unwilling to accept this.
It doesn’t matter if he dies, but not such a good person like the Lord!
He hoped Richardson would escape.
He placed his little hope on this group of tourists from Hope Village.
After all, what they brought was indeed quite novel, and perhaps they also hid some special skills.
"Maybe not! Their level is too low. Most of them have just become junior magicians. They can't even use basic combat spells and still use such primitive fighting methods. The probability of them escaping is too small." Richardson told the truth.
"But looking at their appearance..."
After hearing what Bob said, Richardson took another serious look, only to see that they quickly changed their positions.
Richardson's level is much higher than theirs, so he can naturally see their condition clearly.
Seeing them climb up the wall and stay away from the gate of the territory, their formation was also very reasonable. Those at the front were basically magicians with strong explosive power, with archers on one side and mercenaries and swordsmen on the other... Most importantly, they had a full set of heat-resistant and other equipment. With such a configuration, plus finding the right time, it was possible for them to find an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Richardson was stunned.
Bob noticed Richardson's stunned expression and his eyes brightened. "Is there a chance? Then Lord, can you ..."
"No! As a territory lord, I will only live and die with my territory." Richardson said without hesitation.
"But only if you are alive can you stand up again."
"You know, it won't happen. It's extremely difficult to get a lord token. I'm very lucky to get it once. How can I expect it?
"No, I want to stay with you." Bob also said firmly. The lord has never abandoned the territory, and he still loves the lord.
Looking at Bob's determined eyes, Richardson sighed, "Whatever you want!"
Bob instantly became happy, it was good to be with the lord.
[The wall is being destroyed, the defense power is only 50%, and the stone inventory is insufficient. Please repair it as soon as possible! ]
[The wall is being destroyed, the defense power is only 42% left, the stone inventory is insufficient, please repair it as soon as possible! ]
【……】
Richardson looked at the stones and wood in his warehouse being used up and the defensive power of the wall rapidly declining, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
Even if I knew the fate of the territory in advance, how could I not feel sad when I thought about it being conquered?
The hurt look in his eyes was fleeting, and Richardson's eyes became firm.
The next moment, he rushed back to the battlefield with Bob.
But... it's too late!
The defending professionals began to lose ground.
【The wall has been destroyed! 】
[The territory war has failed, do you want to surrender? ]
Richardson listened to these two pieces of information and said without hesitation, "No!" to the crowd that suddenly poured into the territory.
After refusing to surrender, Richardson looked at the professionals beside him who were still preparing to resist and said directly: "Run away if you can find a chance! This time, they will not let us go!"
The professionals who were resisting were all stunned.
When they were attacked in Aberdovy, they naturally defended their territory wholeheartedly.
But now that we can’t hold on, shouldn’t we just declare ourselves a failure and lose the resources?
Even if they are captured, as they are professionals, the new territory should treat them well.
Isn’t it always like this?
Most people thought so in their hearts, but the expressions of some professionals who were surprised changed.
The rules of territory wars are to extract part of the territory's resources and plunder enough people to leave within a certain period of time. However, there is another way, which is to occupy the entire territory, plunder all the territory's resources and population, and use them to expand one's own territory.
Most of the plundered population will become slaves, including professionals. However, most of the professionals are sold to nobles to become private armies. Even if the treatment is better than that of slaves, they have lost their freedom and can only work for the nobles all their lives. Is this good?
As they panicked over the news.
Wolf, the lord of Fassal village, who led the troops to attack outside, had a cold look on his face after receiving the news that the lord of Aberdovi village refused to surrender.
act recklessly!
"My Lord, the wall has been breached."
"Have people surround the village of Aberdovi and don't let anyone escape!" Wolfe ordered coldly, and the next moment, he led his main force towards the gate of the territory.
The wall, which had lost its protective function, had already become dilapidated, just like the declining village of Aberdovy.
As countless soldiers and professionals poured into the territory, the battle began to shift from a siege to a one-on-one fight.
However, compared with the passive defense of the residents of Aberdovy, the attackers led by Wolfe were much more brutal.
When encountering professionals who resisted, he would quickly cut off their lives with his sword without hesitation.
"Surrender and you won't be killed!"
The four words were deafening, and coupled with their decisive and efficient approach, they seemed quite intimidating.
It is obvious that Wolfe and his group want to use this method to control the territory as quickly as possible.
The benefits of this approach are also obvious.
Many professionals actually chose to lay down their weapons because their companions were killed.
They also know that once they lay down their weapons, they will become objects of manipulation by others.
But compared to becoming someone else's prisoner, being killed directly seems more pitiful.
More and more professionals have chosen to give up resistance and succumb to reality.
Wolfe looked at this scene with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Once this group of professionals surrender, it will be easier for them to control the remaining residents in the territory.
Soon, Wolfe began searching for Lord Richardson in the territory.
He had not forgotten that even after his territory was conquered, the lord still stubbornly refused to surrender.
Since you are unwilling to surrender, there is no need for you to exist.
After a while, Richardson was seen not far away, still resisting stubbornly.
After a quick glance, Wolfe led one of the teams directly in the direction of Richardson.
As for the rest of the people, they rushed to every corner of the territory like a tide.
The reason why they worked so hard before was, of course, because the lord promised them benefits.
Now is the time for them to receive the benefits.
For a moment, the entire territory was filled with screams and cries.
Richardson saw some professionals who had chosen to give up, and also saw the tragic scene in the territory. His heart ached and he clenched his fists.
He looked at Bob beside him and said, "Do me one last favor."
"My Lord, you speak!"
"Take the people and follow those tourists away!" Richardson said directly, "Open another road and let as many people as possible escape. Only when too many people escape and the other side can't take care of them, will there be a chance."
"Can……"
"Go," Richardson said firmly.
Bob let out a sigh of relief, and left Richardson with a group of men.
Wolfe saw this scene when he approached, and seeing that they were heading deeper into the territory, he did not take it seriously and went straight towards Richardson.
Richardson also saw Wolfe, and there was some hatred in his eyes.
The territory was conquered by them and the residents were bullied by them.
How could he submit to the other party?
He clenched the sword in his hand and rushed directly towards Wolf.
The soldier next to Wolfe instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Wolfe.
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Wolfe said coldly. He has never been the kind of lord who hides behind others. He prefers to celebrate his victory with blood.
A sword soon appeared in his hand.
“clang!”
The two men fought each other like this, and when the two swords collided, a crackling sound of fire was produced, and then the fight became inseparable.
In the distance, the stimulated Bob and his soldiers were even more brave.
They were ordered to tell some residents to leave, so how could they not have selfish motives?
Many of them have families.
There was no chance before, but now there is a glimmer of hope, why not try?
It was also at this time that Zhou Zhengping and his group were also targeted by the soldiers. Compared with the ordinary residents of Aberdovi Village, their group's rank was not high enough, but their equipment was good enough.
Seeing the soldiers coming towards them, Zhou Zhengping acted without hesitation.
"Swish swish"
At a command, countless bows and arrows attacked the group of soldiers.
The soldiers were caught off guard and the one in the front was shot and fell to the ground. As they watched this scene, they even retreated a little.
Just as he retreated, Zhou Zhengping seized the opportunity and said "run" directly.
The next moment, the entire team cooperated with each other to climb over the wall and rushed out of the territory.
Seeing this, the group of soldiers naturally hurried to follow.
"He's running away, chase him!"
"Don't let them get away!"
“…”
A sharp voice rang out in the territory.
Bob and others also noticed the scene here, and immediately took some residents who dared to escape and chased in the direction of Zhou Zhengping and others.
It was also because of their leadership that some small teams in the territory were unwilling to give up. They began to fight desperately and rushed towards the territory wall.
Anyway, the territory is so large and the directions are countless. The other side can't have a bunch of people stationed in every direction. If they are lucky, they can escape successfully.
Before, they were just frightened by Wolfe and his men’s fierce attacks and cruel methods, but now that they have realized what is happening, no one will calmly accept their fate.
In an instant, the entire territory was in chaos.
The team brought by Wolfe could no longer hold the situation.
Wolfe was distracted by this and no longer had the heart to play with Richardson.
Richardson also noticed this scene, but he tried his best to entangle Wolfe.
When the leader is away, they will be cautious with the residents of the territory.
After all, they want living people, not dead people.
However, Richardson's struggle was in vain in the face of absolute strength.
A scepter appeared in Wolfe's hand.
When the scepter appeared, it emitted a dazzling light.
The moment he saw it, Richardson's pupils shrank.
Is this platinum equipment?
"I don't have the patience to play with you anymore! Go to hell!" As he said that, the scepter attacked Richardson.
With a "boom", a ball of light burst out from above and fell directly on Richardson, exploding instantly and blowing his body to pieces.
Not only that, a big hole was blown out where he had just stopped, and the surrounding soldiers were blown away by the airflow from the explosion.
Everything was calm. Wolfe nonchalantly withdrew his gaze, then looked at the residents wandering around in the territory, and said coldly: "Kill those who violently resist!"
"Yes." The surrounding soldiers and professionals understood immediately after hearing this order!
When Bob, who was covering the team's way out, noticed the movement here, hatred flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he rushed straight towards the nearest team.
There was a loud "bang" and it turned out to be a self-explosion.
A group of soldiers were caught off guard and several of them were killed.
Seeing this, several people gritted their teeth and rushed towards this side in a suicidal manner.
This was followed by a series of loud noises.
For the families behind them, they are willing to sacrifice to buy them time.
Many people looked at the commotion here, pursed their lips, and left without looking back!
Run! They must run!
The series of loud noises in the territory also alerted Zhou Zhengping and others who had run outside the wall.
They knew that something must have happened here.
They need to hurry up.
But just as they walked out, the soldiers waiting outside the territory rushed towards them and blocked their way.
By now, everyone, including Zhou Zhengping, knew that they had no way out and could only fight, not retreat!
Although their level is lower in terms of professional level, this group of soldiers are basically physical experts. In a head-on confrontation, Zhou Zhengping and his men still gained the upper hand with their endless means.
Among them, Aiden, the close confidant left behind by Wolf, was a little surprised when he saw the performance of Zhou Zhengping and others.
He didn't expect that most of these people were practicing both magic and body.
After the surprise, there is the surprise!
Professionals who have both magical and physical talents are also very popular in the market.
If we catch this group of people and sell them, they can be worth much more than ordinary professionals.
Just as Aiden was about to gather more people.
At the wall behind him, people kept rushing out.
The doors were opened in all directions, and the people guarding outside were overwhelmed for a moment.
Zhou Zhengping watched this scene and led his team to increase the intensity of the attack. Whenever there were people approaching them, they would concentrate on attacking them and kill them directly instead of injuring them.
Even though Aiden was covetous, the other besiegers were afraid.
This is real death.
If they were attacking the city, they would have been happy to do it, but now that they have succeeded and are about to enjoy the fruits of success, they are going to die here. How can they be willing to do that?
Therefore, while Zhou Zhengping was fighting and retreating, the group continued to break out of the encirclement. Once someone could not hold on any longer, someone nearby would help carry them away.
"Captain, we can't stop them here!"
Seeing that Zhou Zhengping was about to run away and hearing a voice from behind, Aiden let out a sigh of relief and changed direction.
Looking back, they saw several loopholes in their defense, so Aiden and his team quickly filled them.
But because there were too many directions, many people still escaped in the end.
A moment later, when Wolfe came out after controlling the situation inside, Aiden had also captured a lot of people.
As for those who escaped, there were quite a few.
Wolfe frowned as he listened to Aiden's report.
"That group of people don't look like they are from Aberdove Village." Aiden said quickly, "I just asked a resident of Aberdove Village, and they said that those people are from another territory called Hope Village. They just happened to come to their territory to do business and brought a lot of good things with them."
"Good stuff?" Wolfe raised his eyebrows. What good stuff could there be in such a remote place?
Aiden seemed to know what Wolfe would say, and quickly handed over what he had just looted.
Among them, there are several foods with strange shapes.
What Wolfe was able to get out was dried animal meat.
Looking at the thin slice, Wolfe put it in his mouth and tasted it, then his eyes lit up.
"It tastes good!" said Wolfe.
Aiden followed suit and said, "Such good things should be enjoyed by you, Lord."
"The next territory we'll choose is Hope Village!" Wolfe said with finality.
Aiden said quickly, with his head lowered and a ferocious smile on his face.
The next time they meet, he won't let Zhou Zhengping and the others get away easily.
"Let's go and clean up the territory."
What followed was a carnival among the soldiers and professionals brought by Wolfe.
After they left, the once quiet and peaceful village of Aberdovey no longer existed.
Situations like the one in Aberdovi Village are happening all the time on the continent of Stan.
