Doomsday Game is Coming
The mercenaries who came to Hope Village three days ago gave full affirmation to Hope Village after returning to their own territory.
Through the mouths of these mercenaries, the reputation of Hope Village spread throughout many territories at lightning speed.
Some mercenaries who have seen the benefits of Hope Village are even ready to bring their families to Hope Village.
Anyone with a little vision can see that the future of Hope Village will definitely not be bad.
While Hope Village has not yet become prosperous, they should climb up this big tree as soon as possible. Then, by then, they will be one of the prosperous ones.
Mercenaries are extremely adventurous.
For a better future, they are willing to give it a try.
Also because of the movements of these advance mercenaries, more and more mercenaries rushed towards Hope Village through the mission center.
After all, a territory that can attract people to settle down just by visiting it is not a simple existence at first glance, so they have to go and take a look.
...
...
Ningshan Village.
"Many people who came back from Hope Village made a fortune!"
"What do you mean? Hope Village has abundant resources?"
"No! There are a lot of good things in Hope Village. Many of the delicacies from Blue Star have been reproduced and they taste absolutely amazing. In addition to the delicacies, the prices there are also relatively cheap. Weapons and equipment are sold very cheaply. Gold-level weapons only cost 10 gold coins. If there were no purchase restrictions, many people would have bought them. However, many silver weapons have been snapped up."
“No wonder there are suddenly more silver weapons in the territory, with more varieties and cheaper prices.”
"Not only is it cheap, but the quality is also good, and you can use the money to upgrade it later! The people who made the weapons are dwarves."
"Dwarves? Aren't there dwarves in Tarbert Village? Their weapons are pretty good."
"But the price is still higher than Hope Village! And it seems that the dwarves in Hope Village are mid-level blacksmiths, so their craftsmanship must be better."
“There are other races in so many territories, why don’t we have any in Ningshan Village and Wenxia Village?
"Oh, I forgot to mention that Hope Village doesn't just have dwarves, there are also goblins, orcs, and undead. This is really an eye-opener! The reason why there are so many races is related to the special buildings in the territory. Hope Village has two special summoning buildings, the Beast Temple and the Undead Temple, which summon orcs and undead respectively. As for the goblins, they should be rescued from other places."
"You must check it out when you go to Hope Village. Also, I wonder when I'll have the chance to see elves and dragons!"
“There should be a chance.”
"What about other aspects?"
"That's a lot. There..."
“It’s really worthy of the ranking
"Yes, I was shocked when I went there. I thought our Ningshan Village had developed well enough, but I didn't expect that there are always better places."
"So you can go and have a look quickly. It's quite fun, but it's a bit of a waste of money. I can't help but buy a lot of things there."
"Yeah, I'll go in a minute."
"Speaking of which, is Hope Village far from us? In fact, if we don't go to the mission center, can we settle in Hope Village?"
"Do you want to settle down there?"
"No, it's too much trouble, and Ningshan Village is so good! I just asked casually, I think there should be a lot of people who want to do this."
"Yes, there are quite a few, but they are all mercenaries from their home territories. For us, common fairness and human rights are just luxuries for them."
"In this case, our territory is also competitive with the local territories!"
"Yes! I think the Blue Star territories we have come into contact with are all pretty good. Several Blue Star territories that have opened mission centers have gone to Hope Village and signed agreements with Hope Village. We will increase exchanges between us in the future."
"I heard that Hope Village introduced a lot of business to our lord and the lords of several other territories."
"This is true. After the Lord came back yesterday, he mobilized a lot of things in the warehouse and said that they had been sold. At that time, he would go directly to Hope Village to trade face to face with other territories. In addition, you should also be able to see the notices of the Lord's Mansion for purchasing various resources. Those must be sent to Hope Village for business."
"Why should we send them to Hope Village to sell? We can just let other territories come to our territory to buy them. It can also attract some traffic."
"At present, our territory does not have any special products, and it cannot attract many people. However, we have the most basic resources on hand. After all, there are many mercenaries, and they all go to various territories to carry out missions, so they have no time to create."
"The main reason is that each territory has its own development model. What is suitable for Hope Village may not be suitable for us. Although our territory does not have the food and weapons of Hope Village, we have more mercenaries in our territory and their combat power is high!"
"Yes, they don't have to be the same. For example, the aquatic products of the several territories we have contacted, the weapons of the Xidong Village, are all very unique, well developed, and are also on the list!"
"Now it seems that the territories that are currently in the top few places are all good! There are no demons among them."
"Haha, it's already hard to survive in this Stan continent, and there are still people who act like demons! Maybe there are some, but those who act like demons have definitely been eliminated long ago. Those who can make it out are definitely those who know what's best for them."
“That makes sense!”
“So the ranking
"That's great! The Blue Star Territory can unite together. Even if the environment outside is harsh, we can still support each other."
"Yes, even if the native territories want to bully us, they have to think twice before doing so. Otherwise, they will think that we are a new territory and want to bully us."
"This is good news after entering this world!"
“…”
As the personnel returned, topics related to Hope Village were heard in every corner of Ningshan Village. Everyone had a deeper impression of Hope Village and was proud that such a powerful territory had emerged in the Blue Star Territory.
They all knew very well that if they wanted to gain a foothold in this world, they had to rely not only on the territory they were in now, but also on other Blue Star territories like theirs.
The same scene also happened in Wenxia Village, Xidong Village, Tabert Village and Pingmo Village.
Of course, the news could spread widely in every territory because a few lords deliberately guided it.
They all knew that as their entanglement with the Stan continent deepened, they would not be able to fully guarantee all the voices within their own territory.
In order to prevent some people with ill intentions from stirring up trouble, they naturally had to make a draft in their own territory early.
Anyway, these territories have already decided to form an invisible "alliance" with each other, and anyone who wants to provoke them in the future is not one of them.
After resolving this worry, their territory can focus on cooperating with Hope Village and other territories.
We must work hard to raise money and build our own territory like Hope Village did. Strength is the only truth, and competition must be fair and reasonable.
Under the influence of Hope Village, the Blue Star Territory is undergoing vigorous construction, and the influence of Hope Village on the native territory is also slowly expanding.
The town of Benguela.
The mission center in the town of Benguela is definitely a very mature one. After all, in this area, it is one of the best and has the largest number of mercenaries. Because of the prosperous trade, there are also many mobile mercenaries.
After several mercenary teams from Maria left and the products of Hope Village became popular in Benguela Town, the name of Hope Village has become a hot word in Benguela Town.
More and more mercenaries went to Hope Village in groups. After bringing back the goods from Hope Village, they began to sell them to other territories. The price difference made more and more people and teams increase the frequency of their visits to Hope Village.
Due to the increased exchanges with Hope Village, more and more residents are heading to Hope Village, and many even never return.
Previously, because Hope Village was a level 2 village, it was quite different from Benguela Town. Even though many residents were curious, they would not leave easily. For them, being able to buy Hope Village products in their own territory made no difference.
However, Hope Village defeated Fasal Village and became a level 3 village. Its strength increased greatly, and various benefits were provided. For example, after the news of the official opening of the school came, the people in Benguela town had more and more identification with Hope Village, and many residents were ready to move.
As a result, at this time, mercenaries traveling to and from the town of Benguela brought the latest news from the Village of Hope.
Hope Village has also opened a mission center and is fully open to all village-level territories.
The permanent and floating population of the territory may have reached 20,000, and the scale of the commercial street shops has reached 200, which is enough to meet the daily needs of professionals and improve their strength. In addition, the prices in Hope Village are much lower than those in Benguela Town, and various supporting facilities are under construction.
Once this news came out, it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for the residents of the small town of Benguela.
In a short period of time, countless teams were organized to go to Hope Village.
The most active among them should be some parents.
The school in Hope Village is what attracts them the most. Many of them have experienced the pain of not being able to go to school. After they grew up, they have tried every possible means to educate their children. However, their education is ultimately limited. They have to hope that their children are talented, and this has to wait until after they are 12 years old.
But what about Hope Village? Students can start school at the age of 6 and graduate at the age of 12.
After six years of learning, I am so many steps ahead of other kids!
So they decided to go and see for themselves whether there really was a school in Hope Village and whether the content taught there was really that good.
If so, there would be no problem for them to move to Hope Village for the sake of their children.
Most importantly, Hope Village clearly has the potential to become Hope Town.
"Are you going to Hope Village?"
"Go! Why not? I have two or three children at home! They basically play around in the territory. I don't feel comfortable taking them to kill monsters when they are too young, and I can't afford to send them to school. Now that there is such an opportunity, I naturally have to go and take a look."
“Me too!”
"Hehe, you guys are doing this for the kids, I'm just here for food and drink. The products we brought back from Hope Village are already so delicious, they will definitely taste better when we eat them locally."
"That's absolutely right, it's so delicious!"
"You know?"
“I’ve been there with the team before.”
"So do you know what the school situation is like?"
"When I left, I only knew that Hope Village had built a school, but I didn't know what it was like inside because it hadn't started yet. At that time, Hope Village was about to have a territorial war, so of course I ran away first. But I really enjoyed the few days I stayed in Hope Village."
"I'll go and take a look! Hope Village seems to treat auxiliary professionals quite well. Benguela Town is the capital of craftsmen, and they have no shortage of craftsmen. The treatment for professionals like us is not very high. Hope Village's offer of 50 silver coins plus bonuses is quite appealing to me. I've asked some people who have been to Hope Village and found that in addition to the basic salary, the staff there can indeed receive bonuses based on their work. If you add it up, it's better than Benguela Town."
"Then let's go quickly!"
"Of course we will go. While the heat is still on and the caravans and mercenaries are gathering to head to Hope Village, it will be safer for us to follow them!"
"It's good to go and have a look anyway. Even if you don't plan to move in the end, you can still go for a tour. Compared to the food capital, Hope Village doesn't cost much!"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“…”
Similar discussions are taking place in the small town of Benguela.
Seeing this situation, Simmons, the mayor of the small town of Benguela, felt a little bit hopeless.
He didn't know what was happening in other territories near Hope Village. Anyway, Benguela Town had become an important population export area for Hope Village.
If the lord was not away and he, the mayor, had not been in charge personally, he would have wanted to go and see Hope Village in person.
In the past, only other territories could migrate to Benguela, but now...
Just as Simmons sighed, suddenly, he received a notification from the territory.
When I saw the message, I was completely shocked.
My Lord Earl is back!
Immediately, Simmons rushed to the city gate.
At the city gate, a long convoy had entered the territory with the gatekeepers kneeling to welcome them.
As soon as he entered the territory, Count Olcott, the lord of the town of Benguela, had received countless messages from the territory.
These are a summary of some matters that he has handled since leaving the territory, as well as some of the latest notifications.
As the Earl, he basically skipped most of the notifications because he knew that his mayor would help him handle the affairs and he only needed to focus on a few of them.
But after a quick look, he found something wrong.
[Your resident Toby has left Benguela Town as a resident.]
[Your resident Kenny has left the town of Benguela.]
[Your resident Bitun has left the town of Benguela. ]
【……】
There are so many residents who have left the territory.
You know, for the small town of Benguela, it is normal for residents to continue to join, and the number of people leaving is very small.
After Earl Olcott noticed this, he began to observe carefully and found that the residents had been leaving the town of Benguela for a month.
Even at the earliest, there were several mercenary teams.
Even though Earl Olcott was confident about the situation under his command, he would still pay attention to the powerful mercenary teams in the territory so that he could have an idea in mind.
As a result, several names matched those of people who had left the town of Benguela.
They actually left the town of Benguela.
So, what exactly happened?
Lord Olcott's expression changed instantly.
Did he trust Simmons too much?
"Greetings, Lord." Simmons' voice sounded outside the beast cart, interrupting Earl Olcott's thoughts.
Earl Olcott stopped the animal carriage and said in a deep voice to the window, "Get in."
Immediately afterwards, Simmons got in the car.
The space in the beast cart where Earl Olcott was located was roughly the size of a room.
Sofas, tables, bookshelves and other items are all available.
When Simmons got into the car, Earl Olcott was sitting on the sofa seat in the middle, with two female slaves serving him in the back.
When they saw Simmons, the two female slaves tactfully stepped back, stood on both sides, lowered their heads and said nothing.
"So many people left the town of Benguela. What happened?" Earl Olcott said incisively, staring at Simmons sharply.
Simmons was mentally prepared for this matter. When Count Olcott asked, he quickly said, "It's because of Hope Village."
Immediately afterwards, Simmons informed Earl Olcott of all the information he had collected about Hope Village.
"As soon as I discovered this, I sent someone to deliver the message to the Earl. Maybe the Lord has already returned, and the message didn't reach you in time." Simmons said, lowering his head. "In any case, it's my fault as the mayor."
After Lord Olcott finished speaking, he frowned.
Hope Village?
This name sounds somewhat familiar.
"Recently, there is a very famous territory, Hope Village, which has jumped up nearly 2,000 places in the rankings. It's rising very fast!"
"Our territory has recently added a new product from Hope Village, which is very popular. We have collected a lot of money from the territory-related taxes!"
“The food in Hope Village is really delicious.”
"It seems to be not far from your area in Olcott. With such a territory, you must be under a lot of pressure!"
“…”
The casual chat with several other territory lords instantly came to mind.
As far as he knew, this Hope Village was a recently famous up-and-coming star.
When someone mentioned that Hope Village was in his area, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Because everyone knows that the human kingdom is very large, so naturally, it is divided into various large and small areas according to different plots of land.
Originally, the town of Benguela was the leader in this area.
The population and other resources of the entire region will naturally flow towards the town of Benguela. In the end, as long as the town of Benguela is upgraded to a city, it will be the "king" of this area, and its position will be unbreakable.
At that time, he scoffed at the man's statement.
He has confidence in his territory, because not every territory can be called the capital of craftsmen.
But now after hearing what Simmons said, he was not sure.
What kind of territory could make residents who are used to the prosperity of the small town of Benguela turn to a newly built level 3 village?
Just as Olcott was thinking, there was a burst of noise outside.
"Let's go! Let's get going! Follow the team closely! Try your best to reach Hope Village before dark today."
A word from afar reached the ears of Earl Olcott.
Earl Olcott simply opened the curtain and saw a group of hundreds of people gathered outside, including men, women, young and old.
Lord Olcott: "..."
Simmons noticed that Earl Olcott was silent, and said silently, "Every day, people go to Hope Village, and some come back, while others simply don't come back. Of those who come back, some will take their families and leave again. Because there are so many people and so often, I can't use coercive measures. I'll just wait for you, Lord, to come back and preside over it."
After listening to this, Earl Olcott glanced at Simmons and then said, "No need to stop them, let them leave if they want to!"
It can only be described in one sentence: my skills are just not as good as others.
However, he would not allow this to continue happening.
He wanted to see Hope Village in person.
Then, Earl Olcott said to Simmons: "I will rest for a day and then leave for Hope Village. Please help me arrange the personnel for the trip."
Simmons: “…Yes.”
Simmons was stunned for a moment, then hurried to deal with it.
He didn't expect that his lord would go there in person.
But come to think of it, the existence of Hope Village has obviously affected the long-term development of the town of Benguela.
There can only be one "king" in a region.
Who will win, Benguela Town or Hope Village?
Although Simmons was very confident about the town of Benguela, thinking about the news he had heard, he actually became a little uncertain about the mysterious Village of Hope.
Then, Count Olcott's team went straight into the town of Benguela, but the joy they felt when they returned had been largely eliminated by the Hope Village.
At this time, Earl Olcott did not know that he was not the only "victim" of the loss of residents, but a group of them!
The second, third, and fourth updates are posted together!
