Baron Barton did not expect Zhou Bai to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't expect that you, the village chief, had already made plans. I wonder how much you know about Marquis Boyle and the city of Lovisa!"
"I don't quite understand! Baron, do you have any tips for me? If so, I would be very grateful." Zhou Bai said.
Although she felt that there was a 90% chance that Marquis Boyle was the backer of Fasal Village, she did need someone to confirm it to 100%.
She had a feeling that the person in front of her might be able to tell her more secrets that she didn't know.
Baron Barton listened with his eyes flickering. He understood the meaning of Zhou Bai's words. At this moment, Zhou Bai represented not herself, but the entire Hope Village.
"What good would it do me if I gave you a hint?" Baron Patton asked.
"I'd like to ask you, Lord Baron. Do you have any grudges with Marquis Boyle? Do you need an extra teammate or something?" Zhou Bai looked straight into the other person's eyes.
In fact, when the other party asked that question, she could infer that Baron Barton and the city of Lovisa were definitely enemies rather than friends. Otherwise, why would he find her to talk about these things when facing a behemoth like the city of Lovisa?
In this situation, the initiative between the two sides is 4:6, with her having 6 and the other having 4.
When Baron Baron heard Zhou Bai's words, he looked at her in surprise, his eyes scrutinizing her.
...
...
It was obvious that Zhou Bai was smarter than he thought.
"It seems that the village chief has already grasped some information?" Baron Patton said tentatively.
"You mean, Marquis Boyle is behind the invasion of the territory?" Zhou Bai answered directly.
The moment the words fell, Baron Patton's expression changed, and then he looked around. He didn't expect that Zhou Bai not only knew it, but also dared to say it out loud.
Of course, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but look up to Zhou Bai several times.
He thought that the other party would know that Marquis Boyle had bad intentions, but he really didn't expect that the other party would know so much?
Is this something she inferred herself?
Really... smart!
"It seems that the village chief knows a lot!"
"These are just some reasonable guesses. We hope that the village is weak, so we have to consider it more." Zhou Bai said simply.
After listening to this, Baron Barton let out a long sigh and said directly: "My territory is also one of the victims. So far, it has lost a huge amount of resources every month. They don't want to completely occupy our territory, but treat us as a warehouse that can be reused."
As he spoke, a hint of indignation involuntarily emerged on Baron Patton's face.
It was because of these aggressive territories that his territory had been repeatedly tortured.
But he knew very well that as long as the city of Loviisa existed, they really couldn't get rid of it.
His territory can only keep looking for territories to cooperate with and resist together, while also trying to find ways to strengthen his own territory. He came to Hope Village this time to find an opportunity to develop his territory.
After all, they have no way to resist openly, but they can quietly accumulate strength in private.
The goods in Hope Village are obviously very valuable. As long as they cooperate, they can make a lot of money from it and prepare more useful weapons and equipment.
Unexpectedly, Hope Village has also attracted the attention of the aggressive territory.
The only difference is that Hope Village won.
This surprised him a little, but he knew that Hope Village was just a village, so he wouldn't hold too much hope, especially since Marquis Boyle was there in person.
However, a series of operations carried out by Hope Village immediately afterwards made him realize that Hope Village was not simple.
Then, such a Hope Village will have the capital to cooperate with them.
"Besides your territory, are there other territories?" Zhou Bai immediately caught the loophole in Baron Patton's words and asked.
"Naturally, those aggressive territories will not just seize resources from a territory. They will have to keep it for a while." Baron Patton's face darkened when he mentioned this.
"It seems that the other party also has such a plan for my territory." Zhou Bai said calmly. She guessed right! Then she looked at Barton, "Do you want my territory to cooperate with you?"
Seeing Zhou Bai's calm reaction after knowing the truth, Barton slowly suppressed the anger rising in his heart and replied, "Yes, you and Hope Village obviously have the capital to cooperate with us."
"What benefits will it bring to us if we cooperate with you?" Zhou Bai asked back.
Baron Patton was stunned when he heard this.
Although Hope Village is quite powerful and aware of this, if he relies on himself alone, he will definitely end up in the same situation as their territory.
Instead of urging him to join, she asked for benefits?
“You…” Barton was helpless, but thinking of the strength shown by Hope Village, he paused for a moment before continuing: “We can give you information about the aggressive territories, and assist you when you need help. In fact, one of the towns in our town alliance has already defeated the aggressive territory in this territory war with the help of several other towns.”
Zhou Bai listened and started to think in his mind.
Indeed, if there were help from several territories, Hope Village would be more confident in facing a behemoth like Lovisa City in the future.
But the character of these alliances is questionable.
"After joining your alliance, the relationship between everyone should be equal, right? I don't want to get out of the tiger's den and fall into the wolf's den again." Zhou Bai asked directly.
"Don't worry, there's no need to worry about that. The alliances have no constraints on each other and will only contact each other when they need help. And even if it's help, it's in exchange for gold coins or materials, not free of charge." Baron Patton heard Zhou Bai's concerns and quickly assured him.
No territory is willing to become a vassal of other territories, and they will avoid this situation when cooperating with other territories.
Zhou Bai listened and thought that this method was good. They could maintain independence and yet cooperate with each other.
"If it's really as you said, I agree." Zhou Bai nodded, "But I can represent my territory, can you?"
Zhou Bai did not forget that the other party was just a baron, not the lord of the other party's territory.
"Sure." Baron Barton said without thinking, "Although I am not the lord of Ogsger Town, I will be the next lord. The current lord is my father, and he has handed most of the affairs over to me. I will also be the person in charge of the cooperation with other alliance territories."
After hearing this, Zhou Bai already had an idea in his mind. This person is also a powerful figure!
"Then we can sign the contract directly, but how should the territories communicate with each other?" Zhou Bai asked.
"Mission Center." Baron Barton said directly, "When you need to contact, just use a code to post a mission in the mission center. Each territory has a dedicated person watching over it, and some subsequent assistance can also be provided in this way."
Zhou Bai felt more relieved after listening to this. The mission center has a natural contractual effect on cooperation, and there is a double guarantee through the mission center.
Besides, she just happened to be planning to use the mission center.
Speaking of which, this kind of alliance is probably not uncommon in the entire human kingdom.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai asked tentatively, "Are there other alliances?"
Although there are many native residents in the territory, and they are gradually providing more and more information, they are all basic information. The more in-depth information is simply impossible for the ordinary native residents who migrate here to know.
Baron Barton was silent for a moment when he heard Zhou Bai's question. He knew that Hope Village had suddenly fallen from another dimension to their Stan Continent, so they certainly didn't know much about this world. Asking these questions was also a way to understand this world.
If there was no cooperation between them, he would not answer such a question, but since he had just agreed to cooperate, it would be bad not to answer.
Forget it, just consider it as an advance investment.
"There are indeed many alliances, big and small, but those who can form alliances are basically powerful territories, and the threshold is a small town. As for the alliances of village-level territories, basically no one will pay attention to them..." Baron Barton said, explaining, "Our alliance does not care about these, and it is just a contract concluded privately, so it will not have any reputation outside."
He was afraid that Zhou Bai would misunderstand his alliance as something powerful. In fact, it was just a mutual aid alliance, and one that could not be discovered.
Zhou Bai listened and understood immediately.
As for the fact that the village-level territory alliance had no status, she understood it even more, because in the eyes of the territories above, villages were just weaklings fighting each other, and naturally not worth paying attention to.
So no matter what, improving the level of your own territory is the foundation for gaining a foothold in this world!
Then, Baron Patton continued and mentioned several well-known alliances in the human kingdom.
"The Slo Alliance, the Dedaze Alliance, and the Lolanga Holy Alliance are the top three alliances so far. As long as you can join these three alliances, they will basically choose people for territory wars, and no one dares to pick them. You will know their specific information as you cooperate more with outside territories in the future. In addition, in addition to these top alliances, there are other alliances. These alliances are not unique. Many territories will participate in multiple alliances, but the quality of these alliances varies, so you should be cautious when joining." Baron Patton only gave a general idea.
He didn't really want to give a specific evaluation.
His relationship with Zhou Bai hasn't reached that level yet!
Moreover, the content of some reviews is not necessarily good.
Zhou Bai listened to this and understood that the other party had said enough.
The most taboo thing for them now is to talk about deep things with someone they have just met.
"Thank you." Thinking of this, Zhou Bai thanked him sincerely.
Hearing Zhou Bai's words of thanks, Baron Patton's expression softened. It was obvious that he felt Zhou Bai's sincerity.
"You're welcome. After all, we are allies now." Baron Patton said with a smile.
The next moment, he took out two blank magic contract scrolls and began to compile the contents of the contract.
It was finished in a short while and handed to Zhou Bai. "Please check if there are any problems. If there are any problems, you can raise them and I will modify them on the spot."
Zhou Bai took it and read it bit by bit.
After carefully reading it, Zhou Bai nodded, "No problem."
Obviously, the other party's contract should also be a joint masterpiece among several territories, and there is no room for loopholes.
Even if she thought about it, she couldn't think of such a perfect contract.
Then, he signed the three big words "Hope Village" on it and handed it to the other party.
Baron Patton got it and signed the name of Ogsger Town. The moment he signed, the light shone brightly, indicating that it was effective.
After the contract was signed, Baron Barton made a few operations and soon Zhou Bai received a notification from the system.
[Dear host, Ogseg Town invites you to join the mutual aid alliance. The members of the alliance include Ogseg Town, Talab Town, Seyaben Town, Tallet Town, and Nag Town. Do you want to join? ]
"Yes." Zhou Bai chose "yes" without hesitation.
After joining, the geographical locations of these alliances instantly appeared on Zhou Bai's map.
I took a look at the locations and they are really far apart.
However, Zhou Bai's map instantly became much larger.
This is also a pleasant surprise.
"It's a pleasure working with you!" Zhou Bai said to Baron Patton.
Baron Barton nodded, "...It's a pleasure to work with you."
Just when the two reached a cooperation, Viscount Keynes and Viscount Conrad, who were waiting for Zhou Bai not far away, also saw this scene.
With a jolt in his heart, Viscount Keynes quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! Village Chief, Baron Barton."
Zhou Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
skillful?
Is this also to squat on her?
Baron Patton also realized this. He knew very well that what Viscount Keynes wanted to talk about had nothing to do with what had just happened. The next moment, he tactfully said goodbye.
The cooperation between him and Hope Village can be discussed later.
As an ally, he believed that Zhou Bai should give him some small benefits.
So, he is not in a hurry.
After Baron Baron left, Viscount Keynes couldn't wait to speak, "Village Chief, shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"
Zhou Bai heard this and nodded in agreement.
I just couldn't help but sigh in my heart. She was so busy today!
