The town of Benguela.
"The ranking of Barnes Village has disappeared." After Simmons confirmed the authenticity of this matter,
When Earl Olcott heard this, he was a little surprised. "That shouldn't be the case! Barnes Village is one of the best in the area, and given Viscount Robin's character, he would definitely not have any tricks up his sleeve. As the challenged party, even if he can't launch a crushing counterattack against the attackers, others must not be able to break their walls so easily."
"I heard a piece of news before." Simmons looked a little strange when he said this. The lord has been busy arranging the trip to the dragon territory by the sea recently, and has paid less attention to Hope Village. However, even if the lord does not pay attention to it, he, as the mayor, cannot help but pay attention to it. He feels the threat of Hope Village to their town of Benguela, especially the expanded Hope Village.
"Speak." Earl Olcott looked at Simmons's hesitant look, frowned slightly, and spoke directly, his tone subconsciously carrying a hint of command, because he felt that this matter might not make him happy.
"Before the territory war in Barnes Village, Hope Village poached more than 5,000 people from Barnes Village at once, among which more than 3,000 were professionals. This may be the reason why Barnes Village failed in this territory war. Moreover, the territory that attacked Barnes Village this time was also attacked by Ningshan Village, which was on good terms with Hope Village. Even Glasgow Village might have been involved," Simmons told all the information he knew. This information was confirmed by some caravans and mercenary teams returning from Hope Village, and the changes in the territory rankings just fit this point.
"Why do you know it only today?" Earl Olcott still trusted Simmons very much, so he did not doubt the news after Simmons confirmed it, but he felt that the news came too late.
"There are more and more merchants in Hope Village now. Many caravans and mercenary teams will spend several days on their way to Hope Village, so the news will naturally lag behind." Simmons explained, "The events in Hope Village and Barnes Village happened in the past few days, so our news is considered early."
"Forget it, I can't blame you. The new territories in Hope Village do have their own unique features." Earl Olcott said directly. He had stayed in Hope Village for many days, where he met many lords from other territories. He had also met some of the lords of the new territories and learned about the conditions of their territories. It must be said that these new territories have vitality and enthusiasm that these territories do not have. This vitality and enthusiasm have enabled them to develop very rapidly.
Thinking of this, Earl Olcott asked one more question, "Is there any news about Viscount Robin in Barnes Village?"
...
...
After all, they are all lords of the territory, so there is a sense of sympathy for one's own kind.
Even though he felt that his territory was powerful in the town, he still felt nervous every time there was a territory war. Only when he had gone through it would his mood calm down a little.
In addition, after learning some gossip, I am really a little worried about the future of the territory.
After all, it's not strong enough.
"Not yet." Simmons shook his head.
"Pay attention!" Earl Olcott said directly.
"Okay." Simmons agreed immediately, and then he seemed to have thought of something and spoke, "Hope Village's ranking has moved up a lot. Now its strength is one of the best among level 3 villages. I'm afraid it will become a small town soon. After it becomes a small town, it should have a significant impact on our territory."
Barnes Village is a lesson for us!
Now the residents of Benguela Town are already flocking to Hope Village. If Hope Village really becomes Hope Town, I am afraid that even more people will go there.
In the long run, it will definitely encroach on the resources that originally belonged to the town of Benguela, and will also seize the right to speak in this area in the future.
It is a recognized reality that there is only one big city in a region.
Listening to Simmons' words, Earl Olcott paused for a moment, then said, "Let's wait until the other party advances to the town level before we talk about it!"
He still felt that those aggressive territories would not let go of such a big piece of fat meat as Hope Village.
If Hope Village is given more time to develop, it will surely become a behemoth that many people cannot move, so they will definitely not wait too long before taking action.
Even now, he had a vague feeling in his heart that this matter would not be so easy.
But when it came to him taking action, he felt he was not ready.
Simmons listened, hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed all the words.
Decisions made by the lord are basically difficult to change, so no matter how much he says, it will be useless.
In addition, he also felt that Hope Village was not that easy to deal with.
At least for now, those who have confronted Hope Village basically have no good ending.
In this case, it is a good choice to wait and see for the time being.
Djibouti Village.
"The village of Banes is gone." Dorji, the chief of Djibouti Village, said to Viscount Elwan, the lord of Djibouti Village.
"Yeah." Viscount Elwan said calmly, just responding lazily, as leisurely as ever.
"My lord, such a large territory as Barnes Village was lost all of a sudden, and the culprits are no surprise, Hope Village and Glasgow Village. What shall we do if they turn their attacks against us?" Dorji looked at his lord's leisurely manner and began to worry about him unconsciously.
"Barnes Village was targeted because it was them who targeted others first. Hope Village can't be blamed for this outcome." Viscount Elwan said honestly, "Also, our territory's income has increased a lot recently because of Hope Village. A few days ago, you praised the people of Hope Village for their honest business practices, but you suddenly changed your tune these past two days?"
Viscount Elwan said this and looked at his village chief with a smile.
Dorji: “These are two different things.”
"For me, it's the same thing. So far, Hope Village has not shown any covetousness towards our Djibouti Village, and I have no ill will towards Hope Village. On the contrary, the two places have exchanges with each other, and the business is mutually beneficial. It is a good thing, and you don't have to think too much about it." Viscount Elwan emphasized. Although he is lazy, he is not stupid. He knows which choice is more beneficial to him.
A guy like Viscount Robin, he thought too much and ended up making mistakes.
How nice it would be to be as free as him!
"Then let's take a look first! But we still have to make preparations. We can't let our home be robbed when the territory war comes." Dorji emphasized.
"Of course, this matter is up to you to arrange. If you need gold coins, you can spend them yourself." Viscount Orwan said without hesitation.
"Yeah." Dorji nodded, already thinking about how to make his own territory both offensive and defensive.
Anyway, they have plenty of money in Djibouti Village, so they can find an opportunity to find some high-level professionals to customize large weapons specifically for Djibouti Village.
Once they have become stronger, they will no longer be afraid of the outside gazes, whether they are well-intentioned or malicious.
Qinghe Village.
"Luckily, I didn't go to that Barnes Village. I thought that they must be cheating when they suddenly hired someone at such a high price!"
"That's right, there is no such thing as a free lunch."
"The village of Barnes is gone, where are those people?"
"It is very likely that they will become spoils of war for the occupying party, and they may even become slaves."
"How miserable! Slaves have no place in this Stan continent."
"Yes, these are terrible."
“…”
When a group of residents were discussing this, there was a hint of relief and a hint of gloating in their expressions.
The current residents of Qinghe Village are a group of people with distorted values.
After all, people with too upright values cannot survive in Qinghe Village.
No one knows how it started, but Qinghe Village has now become a paradise for the strong.
As long as you are strong enough, you can live a good life in Qinghe Village.
Of course, he could not escape the control of the lord of Qinghe Village.
Miao Anjiang, the lord of Qinghe Village, also heard the discussions in the territory, and he agreed with them.
To him, those people betrayed Qinghe Village and that was what they deserved.
Hundreds of people were poached by those people, which was a big blow to Qinghe Village!
Now that he heard that Barnes Village was destroyed, he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself!
"This Hope Village is really strong!" someone said in Miao Anjiang's ear.
"How can something that can attack other territories be a good thing?" Miao Anjiang said with disdain. Everyone was praising Hope Village, but he really didn't think it was that good.
After hearing this, the people under him didn't dare to say anything more.
Hope Village is really famous in their area, and many people in the territory will secretly take their teams there.
However, they only went there with the team, and the environment there did not allow them to act unrestrainedly, so they were naturally not used to it. However, the food there was really good, so they still liked to go there very much to have a bite.
When some people first went to Hope Village, they actually dared to rob it. In the end, they were beaten to a pulp and forced into an apartment in Hope Village, where they were forced to do hard labor.
After knowing that it was not a place where they could act recklessly, the people from Qinghe Village would behave themselves properly when they went to Xiwang Village.
From this point, it can be seen that Hope Village is definitely a good place.
It’s just that a good place may not necessarily be the right place for them.
Because he wanted to live in Qinghe Village, this person also agreed with Miao Anjiang's words.
After Miao Anjiang complained about himself, he looked at the Hope Village which was getting higher and higher, and then waved his hand in boredom.
He can't deal with Hope Village, so he'd better stay away from it!
He had some thoughts when he was instigated by the village of Barnes, but later he saw that the village of Barnes looked down on him and decided to work alone, and then he saw that the village of Barnes disappeared from the map, which taught him a complete lesson.
But I still feel a little bit emotional in my heart.
How great it would be if Hope Village belonged to him!
San Sebastian.
"Hope Village's ranking has moved into the top 100 again. I'm afraid we've made some gains somewhere." Harrington said to Charlotte.
After Charlotte came back from Hope Village after being awarded an honor and learned about Hope Village, Harrington subconsciously paid attention to Hope Village.
After paying so much attention, it was discovered that the ranking of Hope Village's territory was rising at an extremely fast speed, and it was very conspicuous among all the territories. These territories included not only new territories, but also the original territories of the Stan continent.
Therefore, after the last big movement, because there would not be much change in a short period of time, it suddenly moved again, which made Harrington a little concerned.
"It's not surprising that Hope Village has achieved this." Charlotte looked calm. She had experienced too much in Hope Village. She felt that whatever was happening in Hope Village now was within common sense.
"Aren't you curious about what happened in Hope Village?"
"It should be that they joined forces with other territories to swallow up a territory!" Charlotte said directly. He had also looked through the list of territories. He had been paying attention to some of the territories that had been on good terms with Hope Village before. This time, he found that in addition to Hope Village, Ningshan Village and Glasgow Village had made considerable progress. In fact, their recent progress is higher than that of Hope Village. Comparing the two, it is hard not to find the reason.
"Hope Village is also planning to invade territory?" Harrington said subconsciously.
"Impossible." Charlotte directly rejected Harrington's words. "Given the development speed of Hope Village and its development model, this path is not suitable for him. It is very likely that Hope Village is just fighting back."
Harrington raised his eyebrows after listening to Charlotte's words, "You have a good impression of Hope Village?"
Charlotte listened, paused, and then said directly: "Yes, it's very comfortable there." This is something that many territories could not give him.
"It seems that if there is a chance, I can also go there and take a look." Harrington said directly.
"There will be a chance." Charlotte said. Although Hope Village is just a village now, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a town.
Harrington did not comment, and then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "I heard that you transferred two Saint-level magicians from your family some time ago?"
"Yes." Charlotte nodded.
"That's a big move. What did you do to make your family support you?" Harrington asked.
Charlotte paused, then said, "I'll tell you when I succeed!"
If it fails, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing to say it first?
"Is it related to Hope Village?" Harrington said with certainty.
"I guess so!" Charlotte nodded. Only by successfully obtaining something can she get the cement from Hope Village.
After all, being able to throw away magic circles to enhance the defensive power of the city walls is definitely a good thing.
Harrington listened and didn't ask any more questions. Sometimes it's enough to just stop at the right point.
But Hope Village is really a special place, and we don’t know what kind of changes it will bring to the world.
Loviisa City.
"Hope Village has risen in the rankings again, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger." Carlisle reported the situation to Marquis Boyle, his voice lowered a little.
As the Knight Commander of Marquis Boyle, he naturally knew Marquis Boyle's true attitude towards Hope Village. He was also a little worried that Hope Village would slip out of their control.
Marquis Boyle listened and paused, "Any news from there?"
"Yes, we left someone there, and that person brought back the news." As he spoke, Carlisle handed a note in his hand to Marquis Boyle.
Speaking of which, the paper from Hope Village has unknowingly become an item that all the major territories are scrambling to buy.
Compared to various types of leather, this paper is really much easier to use.
There are really a lot of good things in Hope Village, but I don’t understand why they are sold so cheaply, which doesn’t reflect their value at all.
No wonder my lord is keeping an eye on it.
If you master the production methods of these things and monopolize them, the rewards you can get will be thousands of times greater.
After taking the paper, Marquis Boyle unfolded it and started reading.
When I saw clearly what it said, I couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this, Carlisle wanted to ask something, but the next moment, a note was stuffed into his hand.
Carlisle also started reading it. After seeing the contents clearly, his expression changed. "This Hope Village is too... amazing."
More than 5,000 people! It was not so easy to dig them out, but Hope Village succeeded and swallowed up Barnes Village along with the other two territories.
The same goes for the lord of Barnes Village. His strength has been weakened so much that anyone with a little self-awareness should know to choose a weaker territory and wait for a comeback. Why did he choose Ningshan Village and use his last bit of energy to lose himself and benefit others?
If there are two more territories like this, Hope Village will thrive again.
"If Hope Village continues to develop like this, it may not be so easy to deal with?" Carlisle said immediately. This is also the reason for his worry.
"It will be soon. Hope Village may soon become a small town after this territory war. Once Hope Village becomes a small town, we will immediately start the work." Marquis Boyle said directly, "It will only take a month at most. No matter how much Hope Village grows, it will not be able to compete with a level 3 town."
He was still full of confidence in another aggressive territory he had invested in, the town of Serlis.
"Yeah." Carlisle nodded.
I immediately felt that it was a good thing that Hope Village was developing well now.
The stronger I hope the village becomes, the more likely it will become the territory under the lord's control in the future, and the stronger the lord's power will be.
Thinking about it, Carlisle felt that his future was bright.
"How is Theodore doing?" Marquis Boyle suddenly asked.
"The products of Hope Village are very popular. Lord Theodore took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money. He not only occupied most of the market in the territory, but also began to sell to other territories." Carlisle said truthfully.
"Yeah." Marquis Boyle responded with a satisfied look on his face.
By then, Hope Village will become his, and he can let Theodore take over, as he is talented in business.
"Let's go and see if there are any other new territories with potential like Hope Village." Marquis Boyle added, as if he had thought of something.
"Yes." Carlisle agreed immediately.
Xidong Village.
At this time, the lords of Xidong Village, Tabert Village and Pingmo Village also gathered here.
Since the last meeting in Hope Village, the relationship between them has become closer and the cooperation has increased.
It has to be said that after the exchange of resources, several people really felt that the development of their territory was becoming smoother.
"Ningshan Village has gained a lot of benefits after cooperating with Xiwang Village this time." Fu Wenlin said this with a little envy on his face.
Ningshan Village was already strong, and it became even stronger after this time, leaving them far behind.
Not to mention Hope Village.
"Ningshan Village is very powerful, especially in terms of military strength. I hope the village would think of him. It's not just luck, but also strength." Guo Yunxiu said rationally.
If they were really given this opportunity, it would not be easy for them to seize it.
Although they are also vigorously developing the military strength of their territory, the core of the territory is still business.
How dare they confront others head-on!
So this time, Ningshan Village will get so many benefits, it really deserves it.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Zhong Yuanzhou also spoke from the side.
At that moment, everyone had a stronger sense of identity with Hope Village.
After all, in a territory, it’s not what he says that counts, but what he does.
Hope Village has proved its reliability through its actions.
"So where is the olive branch from Penglai Village?" Fu Wenlin asked.
Penglai Village contacted them recently and promised a lot of benefits. Those benefits were really tempting, but he still felt something was wrong, after all, Penglai Village was not on the list.
"Forget it. Penglai Village appeared too suddenly. I always feel that something is wrong with this territory." Guo Yunxiu said. She was acting on her intuition.
Compared to the unfamiliar Penglai Village, Hope Village, which I have been in contact with and know, is naturally more reliable.
Of course, the most important thing is that the three outlooks of the village are relatively positive, so there is no need to worry about the other party stabbing you in the back.
"And we have to tell Hope Village about this matter, so as to alert Penglai Village."
"Okay, this is also an opportunity to make friends."
The group made the decision. They all knew that they were not the kind of people who could pursue hegemony. Since they did not want to take the route of fighting, they could only stick together. Choosing the right people to stick together is also a skill.
Penglai Village.
"How is it? Did they agree?" Zheng Yu, the lord of Penglai Village, asked his subordinates.
"Not yet. They said they would consider it, but... I have a feeling they won't agree." The man replied. His talent was perception, the ability to sense people's emotions. He felt that those people were not very interested in this matter, even if they offered a high amount of money.
"Did you tell me the benefits?"
"I said, they were just surprised."
Zheng Yu listened with a frown on his face, "What kind of magic potion did Hope Village give them?"
For Hope Village, the current Blue Star territory
“I’m not sure, but Hope Village’s ranking has risen again.”
“Who knows what means were used.”
"How about sending someone to take a look?" suggested the subordinate.
"Forget it, it's too far and unsafe. We don't know when the person will come back."
"How about we get promoted, and then we can open the mission center?"
"Forget it. They asked me to keep a low profile. If we come forward to win them over, it will be a violation. If we make any more small moves, the funding will be gone by then." Zheng Yu's heart was beating like crazy, but he still restrained himself and said, "Let's wait until later!"
He still needs to stay safe for now. As for the Blue Star Territory, his targets are all native territories, and he cannot offend the Blue Star Territory. He is just trying to be the first. What can happen?
So even if he failed, he was not too disappointed, he just felt unwilling.
"yes."
"Keep a low profile next time." Zheng Yu reminded him. He was already quite conspicuous this time, so he should avoid the attack next time.
"yes."
…
In addition to these territories, there are many other territories that are talking about Hope Village.
While these territories were surrounding Hope Village, another thing was also happening around Hope Village.
