Once a territory loses the ability to resist, it is not far from destruction.
This is the situation that the village of Barnes is facing at this moment.
Even using two advanced magic scrolls failed to stop the advance of Ningshan Village, so why do they think that they can drive the "invaders" out of Barnes Village with just the remaining thousand or so people?
At this moment, the soldiers and professionals on the city wall who were trying hard to resist could not help but stop their actions.
They were not sure whether they would be shot to death by the villagers of Banes if they continued like this.
If you surrender, you won’t be killed, and you won’t be a slave.
As soon as this slogan was shouted out, the rebellious spirit in their hearts seemed to weaken a lot.
However, although they thought so in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces, but looked towards Viscount Robin inconspicuously.
"My lord, they... are coming in." Foster's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.
He really didn't expect that the failure of Barnes Village would come so quickly.
...
...
There are still two hours left until the end of the territory war.
Just two hours!
If there were more people in the territory, it wouldn't have come to this!
After hearing the voice, Viscount Robin suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at Foster's uneasy appearance, he sneered, "So what if they come in? Can we fight back? Are you willing to fight back?"
He knew very well that most people were unwilling to do so because they did not want to make fearless sacrifices, not to mention that a long time ago, people in the territory had been tempted.
The departure of those people gave the remaining people the courage to surrender.
When he now thinks back on what he had done before, there are only two words left in his mind: regret.
I regretted treating Hope Village as an enemy from the beginning.
I regret not taking Hope Village seriously at the beginning.
He regretted that he had overestimated his own capabilities and wanted to combine the surrounding forces to annex Hope Village, which had brought about this disaster. Or, even if he had this intention, he should not have let others know and made the "plunder" of Hope Village seem legitimate. He had no one to appeal to and could only watch his foundation being destroyed.
…
Foster listened and was also speechless.
Who would want to die if they could live?
During the time when the two were silent, all the soldiers from Ningshan Village rushed into Banes Village.
However, just as the slogans they shouted when they came in, after invading the territory, they did not harm anyone, whether they were residents, professionals or soldiers.
This move weakened the resistance in the entire territory.
Especially the soldiers and professionals still on the city walls.
Because many soldiers also came up with weapons, but they
This action was enough to show their attitude. After all, there were many of them and they were all professionals. It would only take a few minutes to deal with most of them.
I think, if it weren't for the presence of Lord Viscount Robin, many people would have simply dropped their weapons and surrendered.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance and exit of the city wall.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jin Jingshan's figure appeared on the city wall.
The moment he appeared, Viscount Robin's hand moved unconsciously.
He was considering the possibility of taking this opportunity to deal with Jin Jingshan.
But after his eyes moved around Jin Jingshan and his surroundings, Viscount Robin gave up this plan.
He felt that if he really did that, it would only make the relationship between the two sides worse, and he couldn't kill him.
But at this time, Viscount Robin still wanted to struggle.
Immediately, Viscount Robin said: "Whatever conditions the Hope Village promised you, I will give you more, as long as you are willing... to let me go..."
Jin Jingshan was stunned when he heard this. After realizing what was said, he shook his head and said, "No matter what the conditions are, I will not accept them. This is related to the integrity of our territory. If I agree to you, I am afraid I will not be able to survive in our circle."
Sometimes rules are just conventions.
In this strange world, it seems even more precious.
Viscount Robin listened with a complicated look on his face. He pursed his lips and said, "What will you do to me? Kill me?"
Only by killing him as the lord can Banes Village truly belong to Ningshan Village and take over all the industries of Ningshan Village.
Most lords would do this to avoid future troubles.
"I won't kill you, but the prerequisite is that you are willing to hand over the territory to me." Jin Jingshan said, looking at the time on the control panel.
There's only a little over an hour left.
It would be best if the other party is willing to hand over the territory within this hour, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.
Although he didn't count, he lost a lot of his men in the battle just now.
The lives these people sacrificed were real.
If he fails to capture Barnes Village, the people he will feel most sorry for are these people.
Viscount Robin saw Jin Jingshan's actions and the determination in his eyes, and he already had an idea in his mind.
Finally, his eyes turned to the lord's panel again.
There is no way to surrender in the territory war, so the only one who surrenders is himself.
He knew that many lords would rather die than surrender when faced with the loss of their territory, because it was too difficult for someone who had been a lord to become an ordinary person again.
In that situation, they would rather die.
He had thought so before.
But after seeing Jin Jingshan's soldiers marching in an orderly manner after entering Banes Village, he felt that new territories like Ningshan Village seemed a little different from the territories he knew.
Thinking of this, Viscount Robin suddenly asked, "If I enter your territory and become your resident, what will you do to me?"
Hearing this, Jin Jingshan paused, looked at Viscount Robin's tense body, and after careful consideration, gave his most sincere answer, "If you don't mind, I would like to hire you as the village chief of our Ningshan Village. Currently, this position is still vacant."
Since Viscount Robin brought up this topic, he would proceed according to the other party's instructions.
This was his answer after careful consideration.
If the other party was willing to surrender, why would he kill them all?
Isn’t there an old saying in their country that you should always leave some room for others?
He was willing to leave this chance for the other party.
As for the position of village chief, it is really worth giving it to a lord who can turn the territory into a prosperous level 3 village.
After seeing Zhou Bai's easy life, he really thought it would be a good idea to find someone to manage the business for him.
Isn't this Viscount Robin the naked "perfect tool man"?
After Viscount Robin entered Ningshan Village, the only one he could rely on was his lord. In order to live a good life in Ningshan Village, he would work hard without being urged by others.
It's a win-win situation.
The more Jin Jingshan thought about it, the more he felt that taking in Viscount Robin was a good thing.
At this moment, Viscount Robin was really shocked by Jin Jingshan's words.
The other party asked him to be the village chief of Ningshan Village? Aren’t they afraid that he would do something secretly after entering the territory?
Seeing Viscount Robin's incredulous expression, Jin Jingshan continued, "Our Ningshan Village has great potential. If we absorb the resources of your Barnes Village this time and integrate them, we can move towards a small town. It will definitely not take more than two months. By then, you will be able to change from village chief to town chief. When there is an opportunity in the future, when our Ningshan Village becomes a city, you will be the mayor, and you will be able to regain your noble title..."
Village head—town head—mayor.
Listening to the big promises Jin Jingshan made for him, Viscount Robin's mouth twitched.
He believed that he could become the mayor of the town, but becoming the city mayor was not an easy task. It was not that he could not do it, but that it was more difficult for Ningshan Village to advance.
If it were easy to upgrade a city, there would not be so few cities on the Stan continent now.
But I have to say, Viscount Robin was a little moved.
If he loses his position as the lord of Barnes Village, his noble title will be stripped away. He has offended many territories before, and the lords of those territories will not give up this opportunity for revenge.
But if he gets close to Ningshan Village again, those lords will not dare to go too far no matter what.
As he was thinking, Viscount Robin was suddenly silenced by himself.
He actually let his thoughts follow the other person's footsteps.
"How is it?" Looking at Viscount Robin's calm expression, Jin Jingshan asked.
Viscount Robin looked at Jin Jingshan for a long time, then took out the lord token from his backpack.
After taking it out, he handed it directly to Jin Jingshan, "Here you go!"
When Jin Jingshan took it, he heard the system prompt directly.
[Dear Lord, you have obtained the Lord's Order of Barnes Village. It is detected that you already have a territory. Do you want to occupy it? ]
"What does this possession mean?" Jin Jingshan asked Viscount Robin.
Viscount Robin glanced at Jin Jingshan and said, "All the buildings in Barnes Village will become yours. You can place them in your own territory or directly convert them into resources."
Jin Jingshan listened, his eyes lit up, and then he chose "yes" without hesitation.
The moment the selection was made, a map of Barnes Village began to appear on Jin Jingshan's control panel, with two options next to all the buildings on it.
Placement/Transformation.
The former was placed directly in his Ningshan Village.
The latter is conversion resources.
No matter which one is chosen, it will be a win for Ningshan Village.
As for how to do it specifically, he still needs to discuss it with Zhou Bai and Viscount Lancelot first, after all, an agreement has been signed.
After calming down his excitement, Jin Jingshan looked at Viscount Robin and sincerely invited him, "It's over. Shall we go?"
After handing over the lord's token, Viscount Robin was also nervous, fearing that Jin Jingshan would turn against him.
Even if the other party really turned against him, he would have no way to deal with it.
Fortunately, he made the right bet.
"Yes." Viscount Robin nodded.
The two of them walking together has a great symbolic meaning in the eyes of others.
Foster, who was watching this scene from the side, looked a little confused.
How did this all happen?
Also, why did the lord surrender suddenly?
Obviously he was so tough before!!!
But... this is great, his life is saved! He no longer has to choose between life and loyalty.
Everyone except Foster was even more excited because they no longer had to fight back.
As for Viscount Robin, when he came down from the city wall, he saw that the residents of the territory had lined up in accordance with the requirements of Ningshan Village, and each of them had a look of relief on their face for surviving the disaster.
Looking at this scene, Viscount Robin felt a sour feeling in his heart.
Failure to win the loyalty of the residents to the territory was also a failure for him as a lord.
He used to be in a high position and had the final say in the territory. Over time, he felt that the entire territory was his and its fate was controlled by him. After the emergence of Hope Village, he still held an arrogant attitude, which led him to fall into the abyss step by step.
Now that I have hit rock bottom and accepted the worst situation, I suddenly woke up.
In other words, he was living a miserable life. Since others didn't ask him to live on his knees, he didn't have to choose to die standing.
Next, with the cooperation of Viscount Robin, it became easier to gather the remaining personnel.
Finally, before the 24-hour countdown, all the people gathered together.
At this time, there were not only residents from Banes Village, but also residents from Qinghe Village.
When they faced each other, there was a hint of awkwardness on their faces.
After all, the latter had just fled from the battlefield.
"Hmph!" Hudson looked at this group of people and let out a snort.
Although he himself was not a very good person, he looked down upon people who betrayed others without a second thought, even if their choice was beneficial to their current situation.
The residents of Barnes Village, except Hudson, also subconsciously moved a few steps away from them, as if there was a chasm between the two sides.
Seeing this, the residents of Qinghe Village looked at the people of Ningshan Village and finally held back.
After all, I will be living in Ningshan Village from now on, and I can’t give others a bad impression.
As for Viscount Robin, since the facts had already been established, he would not care about the feelings of the residents of Qinghe Village.
Although he has now surrendered to Ningshan Village, what he needs to consider next is whether he can truly be respected when he finally arrives in Ningshan Village.
Jin Jingshan also noticed the strangeness in the crowd, but he did not intervene. His territory was originally a very inclusive territory. As long as they did not do anything that would harm the territory, he would accept it. As for more character issues, they would be eliminated by the free market of Ningshan Village. He believed that he could hold on. He would not let what happened in Qinghe Village happen in Ningshan Village.
What he cares about is who just saved him?
Will it be Glasgow Village?
Jin Jingshan glanced at the dense forest not far away.
When Jin Jingshan was struggling over whether to go and investigate, he received a settlement notification from the system and he had to turn his attention back.
Anyway, you'll know later.
At this time, notifications are coming one after another on the control panel.
[Dear Lord, in this territory war, you, as the challenger, won! ]
[Dear Lord, the system has detected that you have obtained the Lord's Order of Barnes Village. Do you want to collect all the resources and residents of Barnes Village? ]
"yes."
[Collecting resources...]
After Jin Jingshan chose "yes", with the sound of the system, the entire Barnes Village gradually disappeared in front of everyone, and finally turned into an open space. In the near future, it may become a new resource point.
All in all, the village of Barnes disappeared from the continent of Stan.
At the scene, everyone in Barnes Village who was watching this scene felt a sense of loss in their hearts, especially Viscount Robin, the former lord. The feeling was even more indescribable.
【Resources collected.】
[All residents of Banes Village have been captured. Please choose slaves or residents? ]
"resident."
【Confirmed.】
【Your settlement reward has been completed. 】
[Do you want to leave Banes Village? ]
"yes."
Just like that, with everyone having mixed feelings, the teleportation array that was teleporting the large force lit up, and in an instant, all the personnel disappeared from the spot.
After they disappeared, Viscount Lancelot came out of the dense forest.
"He won." Viscount Lancelot said without surprise.
"Thanks to you, Lord, for using up a high-level magic shield, otherwise the Lord of Ningshan Village would have died here." Someone asked, "Lord, why did you help him?"
"Since we are allies for now, there is nothing wrong with giving him a hand. Rather than helping him, it would be better to say that I am helping myself." Viscount Lancelot replied, "If they are reliable, Glasgow Village will have two reliable partners in the future. No, maybe even more."
He just felt that the situation in the current Stan Continent seemed to be becoming more and more different. The territory that could fight alone in the past would most likely encounter great trouble in this world if it had no assistants in the future.
Rather than being passive at that time, it is better to be proactive now.
"Then, Lord, do you think Ningshan Village is reliable?" someone nearby asked curiously.
"Not bad!" Viscount Lancelot replied.
The fact that the people of Barnes Village were able to peacefully accept them was enough to prove the attitude of these new territories.
He is quite satisfied!
He now hopes that there will be more territories like Xiwang Village and Ningshan Village.
"Anyway, my lord, your consideration is definitely right." The look of the person next to him was full of trust in Viscount Lancelot.
Viscount Lancelot smiled, then said, "Go back! It's time to go to Hope Village."
Soon, Viscount Lancelot and his party also left the village of Barnes.
At this time, Zhou Bai, who was watching the battle in Hope Village, saw that the territory of Barnes Village had disappeared from the territory ranking list.
The moment he confirmed it, Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Ningshan Village won!
