Pub.
When Milovan arrived at the tavern, it was full of people.
#Slaves, residents, professionals, and soldiers defected from the territory one after another#
#Territory lord fainted#
#Entry and exit are prohibited in the territory#
#Territory War is Coming#
Even if these four things happened individually, they would be a big deal for the territory, let alone when these four things happened together.
Everyone in Banes Village felt that a storm was coming.
In such a situation, people couldn't help but gather together to discuss.
"Did they all go to Hope Village?"
...
...
"The teams from Hope Village disappeared along with them. Where else could they be but Hope Village?"
"We didn't know the news until they left. If we had known earlier, we would have left with them."
"How can there be so much knowledge in advance?"
"You know, leaving doesn't come without a price. The mercenaries lost all their properties in Barnes Village."
"And those residents not only lost their assets, but also paid a lot of security deposits."
"This is enough to prove that there is nothing left in Barnes Village for them to stay. Or, in other words, for them, it is worth it to go to Hope Village and pay these things."
"What is Hope Village like? Is there such a charm that makes them make such a great sacrifice?"
"Regardless of what happens to Hope Village, does our Barnes Village still have a future?"
"The territorial war is coming again, and so many people have escaped again."
"Do you know the exact number of people who escaped? I know that at least a thousand people, including residents and professionals, fled, but the soldiers didn't know the exact number, so the news was immediately blocked."
"If it's blocked, it means a lot of people have escaped, definitely hundreds of them."
"So a conservative estimate is that at least 2,000 people have fled the territory, most of whom are professionals. The territory's combat power has definitely been weakened."
"The important thing is that Hope Village has poached so many of our people at this time. I don't believe there is no other purpose. The previous news that Hope Village is cooperating with a certain territory to invade our territory should be true."
"Invasion? Hope Village also wants to move towards an aggressive territory. Isn't he afraid of being condemned?"
"But I have reliable information. What Hope Village did to Barnes Village was just a counterattack. Our territory wanted to deal with Hope Village first. The reason for dealing with it first was that many people in our territory were lured away from Barnes Village and became residents of Hope Village."
"Is it necessary? You can't keep people here, so you blame it on other people's territory, which is why these disasters have occurred."
"That's right! Glasgow Village is working with Hope Village. Now they are building a road. When the two territories are connected, they will definitely share what they have. Many residents of Glasgow Village have also moved to Hope Village to settle down. Barnes Village has no reason to consider itself."
"They never thought of looking for the reasons within themselves, which restricted our access and laid the hidden dangers for the internal unrest."
"My Lord, you are truly..."
"Ahem, once the Lord wakes up, he should be able to make adjustments."
“…”
The words condemning the lord were never spoken in the end.
The person who was blocked also looked at the person who interrupted with gratitude.
If someone with ulterior motives heard it, he would be in trouble.
And the person who interrupted was none other than Milovan.
He was always looking for opportunities to join the conversation without being noticed.
Now he finally found his chance.
After he finished speaking, the others followed suit.
"After the Lord woke up, he didn't know how to deal with this matter or how to resolve the possible crisis in the territory."
"Yeah! I'm really worried about the safety of Barnes Village now."
“Unless Barnes Village strikes first and finds a weak territory first.”
"But if they are targeted, the probability that Barnes Village can actively choose a target is really too low."
"Barnes Village is a level 3 village after all, so it still has some heritage."
“…”
Milovan heard their words clearly, and he knew very well in his heart that most of the people who remained in Banes Village were those who still had feelings for the village, and they hoped that their territory would be safe and sound.
But he knew very well that the chances of Barnes Village surviving this time were very small.
Even if there is a probability, they want to make it smaller.
Thinking of this, Milovan sighed deeply and his expression became a little melancholy.
His appearance was seen by the person who had just rescued him, and he spoke directly.
"What do you think?"
When the other party asked this, many people around turned their eyes to Milovan.
Seeing this, Milovan could only say: "I just think that the situation of Barnes Village is too dangerous at this moment. Not only is the territory in danger, but we are even more dangerous."
"What do you mean?"
Milovan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "On my way here just now, I heard someone mention that the number of defectors from the territory's soldiers this time is much greater than the hundreds of people rumored."
"How many people is that? The news was kept secret, and it happened in the middle of the night."
"First
"More than a thousand people? Since we have sent more than a thousand people, we should be able to catch up with some of them! Maybe there will be results today. If we catch them back..."
"It would be great if we could get them back, but the reality is that more than a thousand people who were sent out haven't come back yet?" Milovan said in a drawn-out tone.
"How is that possible?"
“Impossible!”
"That's right. If more than a thousand soldiers leave, then there won't be many soldiers left in the territory?"
"But what if it's true? If it's true, then it would be normal for the Lord to faint from anger, right?"
“…”
At first, everyone was incredulous, but later on, they felt that this number was the real number. Would the lord care about a small loss of personnel? It would have to be a large number of people.
The scene fell silent instantly because of this sad news.
Many people realize that if a territory war breaks out due to insufficient territory combat power, wouldn’t it be professionals like them who can act as the leading combat force?
At this point, many people were getting restless.
The energy required to serve as the main combat force and the secondary combat force is different.
The former must fight to the death, while the latter can retreat at any time.
In addition, there is a shortage of manpower, and if the battle is fierce, many people will die.
"Where did you get this information?" Many people looked at Milovan with reluctance.
In their hearts, they always hoped that the news was false, because then they would no longer be at the point of no return.
"I just heard it by chance when a few soldiers were discussing it. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's more likely to be true. If possible, I hope it's false!" Milovan's expression was as complicated as everyone else's.
"No wonder the territory now forbids us from leaving."
"Once we leave, the territory will really be finished."
"This time the territorial war is really dangerous."
"What should we do? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"
"My family and children are all here! If the territory fails, I won't become slaves of other territories."
"Won't the territory give us an explanation? Are they trying to drag it out until the territory war comes, forcing us to agree?"
“…”
As everyone imagined, the environment on the scene became more and more chaotic.
Everyone was outraged.
The more people think about it, the more horrified they feel.
It's time.
Thinking about it, Milovan continued, "I feel it's too late even if the territory comes out to explain now. There are only a few ways to appease us. First, give us good benefits to keep us, and we should be given a lot of compensation; second, we don't have to pay a deposit to leave the territory, and we can leave the territory at any time, but there are definitely requirements, that is, we cannot leave Banes Village before the territory war. Finally, there may be high rewards for professionals who participate in the territory war, either money or status, but these two are not worth mentioning for the current Banes Village. The benefits will be after the territory war, but at that time, you have to be alive to enjoy them."
After releasing such a large string of them, Milovan breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart.
Finally, I got these words out.
He can now find a suitable opportunity to escape.
At the scene, many people fell into deep thought because of Milovan's words.
They were wondering, if the territory gave them such conditions, would they stay in the territory?
Most likely.
They did not leave Barnes Village like those who had just escaped because they did not want to leave here. Even though there were many bad things about it, it was also the birthplace of many of them. Unless necessary, they did not want to go to other territories to start over.
As long as there is a little hope, they will all stay.
After realizing this, many people showed complicated expressions on their faces.
Does the territory really have these methods to keep them?
Next, many people in the pub fell silent, and many of them drank heavily. The stimulation of alcohol made their mood seem less bitter.
Just when the tavern had quieted down, some people came in from outside and reported directly on the situation.
"The Lord has come out and asked us to gather in the square. He has something to say to us."
"Hurry up and go! In addition to the Lord, there are many other adults here. It looks like a big scene!"
"It should also be related to the changes in the territory in the past two days. I have to go take a look."
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
"Hopefully it'll be some good news."
"The news we just heard hasn't been confirmed yet! Let's go and take a look."
“…”
Many people still had a last glimmer of fantasy in their hearts, and followed the crowd to the scene one by one.
Milovan, who was in the crowd, saw everyone was in a hurry to leave, so he also mixed in with the crowd, but halfway through, he slowly walked into a small path on the side.
When he came out again, his face had changed.
Yes, just before entering the tavern, he took the face-changing potion and changed his face.
After finishing the work, change back to your own face.
Even if someone of much higher rank than them came to check, they would not be able to see any trace of it.
Immediately, Milovan rushed towards the square.
The square was already packed with people at this time.
But in fact, when most people gathered, many people still found a difference, that is, the number of people in the territory had really decreased, and the number of soldiers maintaining order on the scene seemed to have decreased.
Before, these people might not have noticed the problem, but for many people who had just experienced a brainstorming session, many things were directly magnified, and they could naturally notice the trick.
While some of them were feeling uneasy, Milovan had already reunited with Rhett in his true form.
"How is it?" Milovan asked in a low voice.
Leiter listened, made a gesture of completion to Milovan, and said, "You are still worried! Those professionals were so excited when they heard it. I didn't need to say anything. They immediately contacted many of their companions. The speed of communication between professionals is very fast. What about you?"
"Most of the people in the tavern are individual mercenaries. Although the news did not spread that quickly, they also care about this matter very much." Milovan said directly.
After the two men finished explaining their situations, they couldn't help but look at each other. A smile flashed in their eyes, and then the two good brothers blended into the crowd together.
When they mixed in, the higher-ups made
As soon as the gesture was made, the scene instantly became quiet.
There was silence for a moment.
And above, there was a wall of ground.
Damn Hope Village.
If it weren't for it, how could he have suffered such a loss.
More than three thousand people!
Among them, there are nearly 2,000 professionals. How much time and energy is needed to train so many professionals in a territory! It is almost impossible to raise them back in a short period of time.
In the following period of time, a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources will be required to restore to the original level.
As Viscount Robin was looking at the crowd and sighing, Foster on the side coughed lightly.
Hearing the cough, Viscount Robin's attention was drawn back, and he looked at
"My dear residents, our territory suffered a great disaster yesterday. Under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, some people in our territory defected. I am deeply saddened by this, but we must cheer up to deal with this crisis. At this critical moment, I ask everyone to unite and overcome the difficulties together with the territory." As a noble, Viscount Robin is absolutely qualified in speaking.
At this moment, he was able to let go of his pride.
Since we are going to do it, we naturally have to do it better.
In fact,
As a lord, he is so humble, it can be seen that he really wants to manage the territory well.
If the lord can really learn from his mistakes, the territory may still be saved.
This is what most residents think.
But there is a small group of people who have just been "brainwashed" by Milovan and Rhett, and they still retain a trace of clear doubt in their hearts.
They wanted to see if what the lord was going to say next would correspond to what they had heard.
Seeing the determination on most people's faces, Viscount Robin felt quite satisfied.
It was really worth it for him to bow to these residents.
He thought this was just the beginning.
After thinking for a while, Viscount Robin continued speaking.
"In order to better build our territory and correct my past mistakes, the territory will introduce the following measures."
“
Some people listened, one sentence: It's over,
“
#happy! #
#It’s over, it’s over,
“
#happy! #
#It’s over, it’s over, it’s over,
“
“
“…”
Later on, although it was not within the scope of what they had heard, the core was almost the same.
At this moment, a sense of anxiety inevitably arose in the hearts of these people.
Soon, Viscount Robin finished explaining his measures.
After the presentation, a closing statement was made.
"The territory is our home, our pure land against monsters. We will never allow any outside forces to destroy it. I hope everyone can join me in defending our territory and our home."
After saying this, Viscount Robin even made a special courtesy gesture to the people below.
Such etiquette is commonplace for a noble, but it is rare for most people present, or they probably have little chance of encountering it in their lifetime.
Now, they met.
At this moment, many residents were truly touched. They felt Viscount Robin's sincerity as a lord.
As long as the territory needs it, they can still take up arms to protect the territory.
Moreover, the lord also guaranteed and gave them so many benefits.
They believe that as long as they can get through this difficult time, their lives in Barnes Village will get better and better in the future.
Foster watched from the side and felt a little comforted.
Although the lord is a little arrogant on weekdays, he can still keep his composure at critical moments.
It seems that as long as follow-up measures can be taken in time, the territory can still be stabilized this time.
After stabilizing the territory, see if you can ask the nearest territory to send people to rescue.
As long as we can get through this time, we will be able to slowly recuperate and perhaps rise again in the future.
Thinking of this, Foster felt very relieved.
Just when Viscount Robin, Foster and others thought that this "grand meeting" would end perfectly, one question after another came from the crowd below.
"What if the territory can no longer be defended?"
"Are you treating us as cannon fodder by asking us to continue defending?"
"Is it true that there were more than 3,000 people missing from the territory yesterday?"
"Expand the scale of recruiting soldiers. Tell me, how many soldiers are left in the territory now???"
"If we continue to stay in the territory, what will we do if we have a life to enjoy?"
“…”
The sounds were very clear. Not only Viscount Robin and his men heard them, but many people in the square also heard them.
After listening to it, the whole scene instantly became excited.
What does it mean?
What does it mean that the territory can no longer be defended?
What does it mean for a territory to use people as cannon fodder?
What does it mean that the territory is missing more than 3,000 people?
What do you mean, how many soldiers are left in the territory? Where are the soldiers?
Many people at the scene suddenly realized that the disaster that their lord had downplayed might not be that simple?
"Who? Who is speaking? Stand up right here???" Viscount Robin on the stage was stunned when he was questioned.
He didn't expect that such an exception would happen at the end of his speech.
Looking at the crowd that originally had excited and admiring eyes now looking at him with uncertainty, questioning and suspicion, he suddenly couldn't hold back his nerves.
Therefore, there was a bit of exasperation in his voice when he spoke.
Who dares to ruin his good deeds?
But after hearing his question, there was a burst of chatter at the scene. Everyone looked left and right, but no one knew who had said that.
And those who knew who said that did not come forward to point it out.
Because the first people to speak out were not others, but representatives sent by some mercenary teams.
We will naturally protect our own people.
With the help of my companions, who would find out?
Seeing that no one answered, Viscount Robin said loudly: "What you just said is pure slander. Don't believe it. You should believe in the territory..."
"Since it is slander, Lord, can you tell us how many people the territory has now? How many of them are soldiers? I hope the territory can explain it to us."
"Yes, if the territory is lacking in combat power now, how are we going to fight the territory war then? Will we fill it with human lives?"
"We have the right to know, and we don't want to sacrifice in vain."
"If you keep hiding it, we doubt whether the Lord has any ulterior motives for the promise he just made."
“…”
Those who stood up now were the captains of the major mercenary teams.
Only they have the courage and confidence to openly challenge the territory at this time.
Seeing them coming out, Foster above cried out inwardly, "Not good."
He never thought that the news he had kept secret would be discovered by these mercenaries.
At this time, Viscount Robin also glanced at Foster and his group.
When he woke up, he knew the news had been blocked and he felt relieved.
As a result, if we tell him now, the news has already spread.
Of course, now is not the time to worry about it. The most important thing is to stabilize the situation.
Speaking of which, there are less than a thousand soldiers in the territory now.
In addition to the more than a thousand people who escaped, some were assigned by him to Hudson.
In fact, because he wanted to recruit people from Qinghe Village, he gave Hudson elite soldiers.
If the situation cannot be stabilized, unrest will occur in the territory again and defections will occur again.
Then, Barnes Village is really doomed.
Foster noticed the look in Viscount Robin's eyes and felt wronged.
He dared to guarantee that no one present yesterday would spread the news.
In this case, there is only one possibility for the message to be spread.
That means there are still people from Hope Village in their territory.
Only the people of Hope Village could know so much about the defection.
Yes, that must be it.
After figuring it out, Foster quickly whispered in Viscount Robin's ear: "Sir Viscount, there may be people from Hope Village in our territory."
"Impossible!" Viscount Robin denied subconsciously.
How could he be so carefree after being severely cheated by Hope Village?
Wake up
In order to be completely assured, he also strictly checked the situation of the residents who had recently joined the territory.
Because of his previous control policies, there were very few such people, so he simply sent people to monitor them one by one.
It couldn't be that Hope Village had left a backup plan in Barnes Village.
Seeing Viscount Robin speak so decisively, Foster pursed his lips and could only remind him: "My Lord Viscount, it can be either no or yes."
Now we need a "murderer", and then the murderer will naturally appear.
Viscount Robin listened and understood instantly.
It is not convenient for me to explain the situation. I want to know, where did you get the news from? I suspect that it was the people from Hope Village who stayed in our territory. Their purpose is to sow discord. If I disclose the combat power to you, it will be used by the spies from Hope Village. This time, the territory war will be really dangerous. "
Viscount Robin's words sounded a bit reasonable, but those who knew the situation at the scene knew that the other party was avoiding the main point.
He didn't say a single word of the answer.
Many mercenary team captains were already more inclined to believe the news they heard inadvertently.
Even if this information was really released by someone from Hope Village, so what?
If it was released by someone from Hope Village, then it would further prove the magical powers of Hope Village.
After causing such a big fuss in Barnes Village, they were able to lay such a foreshadowing in the territory.
Their existence further proves the incompetence of Barnes Village.
Can such a village of Barnes be able to fight against the territory carefully selected by Hope Village to deal with Barnes Village?
The most important point is that if it was really said by the people of Hope Village, then the information provided is definitely true.
For example, the territory lost a total of three thousand people.
For example, more than a thousand soldiers in the territory defected.
These two points alone seriously weakened the defensive capabilities of the village of Barnes.
The village of Barnes is in danger.
While he was thinking about it, several captains of the mercenary teams continued to speak.
"If they are really spies from Hope Village, does that mean that the news we just heard is true? Is the fighting power of Barnes Village really insufficient?"
Every word is powerful.
Every word struck the ears of everyone present.
At this moment, the existence of the people in Hope Village has become more concrete evidence.
In the crowd, Milovan and Rhett watched the situation develop like this, and their eyes were shining as they looked at the initiators.
That’s awesome!
