Inside the meeting room.
Zhou Bai sat in the main seat, Bayer sat beside her, and Zhou Zhengping and others sat on both sides.
At this moment, most eyes were on Zhou Bai.
Seeing everyone's eager looks, Zhou Bai said directly: "This meeting is mainly to explain the situation of several nearby territories so that everyone can have a general idea. Let me first introduce the town of Benguela."
Then, Zhou Bai recounted the entire process of going to the town of Benguela.
"Because of the hot weather, the mercenaries in their territory may delay coming to Hope Village, but they will come eventually. This is an opportunity for our territory to establish a stable trade relationship with them. In the future, Hope Village's products will have no trouble selling, and we can sell them continuously in our territory." Zhou Bai continued, "There is basically no major conflict of interest between the town and us. We can maintain a long-term business relationship, but we need to be careful with the mercenaries coming from Benguela Town."
After Zhou Bai started talking, Cao Jingshan and others followed suit and introduced themselves.
Every time they said something, Zhou Bai's eyes brightened.
The population of Banes Village.
The Monster of Glasgow Village.
...
...
A life professional in Djibouti Village.
The development directions of these three territories are different, and there is no overlap between Hope Village and them. It is obvious that they can complement each other.
This means that there is a high probability that Hope Village can unite these territories, bind them by interests, and slowly expand outward with Hope Village as the core.
After knowing the danger of this world, Zhou Bai was always thinking about the strength of the powerful territory.
But in addition to individual strength, team strength is also necessary.
Compared with the Blue Star Territory, she now wants to interact with the native territory more.
Because they are the foundation of our existence in this world.
As for the Blue Star territories, they are natural alliances when facing a crisis. There is no need to manage them. Everyone who needs to understand will understand.
But the home territories are different.
Still need to work hard to manage it.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai asked, "How did you talk about the caravans from these three territories yesterday?"
"I have explained the situation to them and handed them over to Yun Juncai, who will take the lead in handling this matter. Judging from their attitude, they may stay in our Hope Village for a few days to see the situation!" Cao Jingshan said.
Although they were "sincerely invited" here, when they arrived at Hope Village, their home turf, it was clearly a seller's market. As long as they could keep themselves stable, they would be invincible.
Therefore, Cao Jingshan and others were not very anxious.
Zhou Bai listened and nodded. As for business matters, with Yun Juncai, Zhong Yongnian and others around, there was really no need for them to get too involved. The people had been brought back and all the necessary conditions had been provided. How far they could go in the business depended on their abilities.
The matter seemed to have ended at this point, but Li Xingteng still noticed that Zhou Zhengping did not mention the situation in Aberdovi Village.
He asked directly, "Zhou Zhengping, what about Aberdovi Village? I heard that you brought back quite a few people, and most of them are professionals."
Shouldn't I be happy about this situation? But Zhou Zhengping didn't look like that.
"This is also what we are going to discuss next." Zhou Bai said directly, "Aberdovi Village was breached in this territory war, and the territory icon has turned gray on the map."
This map is for people who have been to Aberdovey village.
This sentence shocked everyone in the audience, and they all looked at Zhou Zhengping. What happened?
"We were preparing to leave Aberdovi Village yesterday, but we didn't expect that a territory would launch a territorial war against Aberdovi Village early in the morning. And they were the kind that would not care about the cost. The opponent's offensive was very fierce, and there was no room for negotiation. Surrender could not stop it."
"Doesn't surrender mean you admit defeat?" This is the rule of territorial wars that they know.
"But the initiative in a territory war lies with the attacker. If they are unwilling to retreat, it is useless to admit defeat." Zhou Zhengping said directly, "I later asked the professionals in Abedovich Village and found out that under normal circumstances, most territories will abide by this rule. As long as the resources are plundered, both sides will leave a way out. However, there are still many aggressive territories on the Stan Continent. The goal of this type of territories is not to plunder part of the resources of the territory, but to completely occupy all the resources of the other party's territory."
"Including population?"
"Yes, including the population, the plundered population, if they are ordinary people, most of them will become workers, if they are professionals, they have the opportunity to become residents, but they are often sold to some nobles or rich people as private guards. This kind of private guard is similar to a death soldier, whose life is in the hands of their master. They have a contract, and unless their master takes the initiative to terminate the contract, they can only be his alternative slaves forever, without freedom." Zhou Zhengping was really shocked when he heard the news from Watt and others.
They couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had not encountered this kind of territory the previous two times.
"So when we meet, we can only fight?"
"Yes, we can only counterattack and drive them back, or defend for more than 24 hours. However, the former will cost countless lives, and the latter will require the exhaustion of inestimable resources." Zhou Zhengping said.
"Lord Bayer, do you know?" The others looked at Bayer. They had never heard Bayer mention this before.
"Well, but their targets have always been some relatively mature territories, or territories with things that they covet. They often appear in level 1 towns. Our territory is only a level 2 village, so I didn't mention it." Bayer responded.
Until it reaches that point, speaking out will only add to your troubles.
But he didn't expect that this time he would be so close to Hope Village.
Bayer frowned slightly, feeling somewhat worried.
Although Hope Village has shown its potential, it is still in the process of development. It would be fraught with crisis if it were to face such a huge behemoth all of a sudden.
"That means we still have time to prepare our territory." Cao Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Zhou Zhengping's description was very plain, the content revealed in the words showed the cruelty of this battle.
As a level 3 territory, Aberdovi Village could not resist even with its many professionals for a few hours. If their territory encountered this, they would be doomed.
"I hope so, but we escaped from the enemy at that time, and I'm afraid we'll be marked by them and become their target." Zhou Zhengping said, "This kind of territory is basically a group. Even if it's not Fasal Village that attacked Aberdovi Village this time, it could be other territories. If they really want us, it will be difficult to avoid them."
"We are just a caravan passing by. There must be other caravans in Aberdovi Village, right? They won't just be targeting our territory."
"But we were the only foreign merchant caravan that escaped." Zhou Zhengping said helplessly, "And the reason I made this guess is that the leader of a group that followed us, Watt, wanted to go to Benguela town wholeheartedly and didn't want to stay in our territory. He must have guessed it."
He learned that several people in Watt's team chose to become residents of Hope Village, but Watt himself and many people in the team were still tourists.
It undoubtedly proved his guess.
After the words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent.
Just when there was good news, bad news came!
