The others had also recovered and understood why Zhou Bai was angry.
Originally, breaking into the city was just a means for Hope Village to fight back, but without their knowledge, the entire city and thousands of lives were handed over to the hands of Hope Village.
Under normal circumstances, it doesn’t matter whether the village is destroyed or not, because no matter what, this territory war is over.
It's still a huge loss.
"Fortunately I found it." Li Xingteng patted his chest to calm his wildly beating heart.
Thousands of lives were almost lost in their hands, how could they not be panicked! Even if it had nothing to do with them directly, even if they had no prior knowledge of it.
"But after discovering this, should we give up the siege and let our efforts this time go to waste?" Alick spoke directly. He felt that it was not worth giving up now.
After all, the culprit is Wolfe, right? As long as they operate properly, this matter cannot be blamed on them.
Heidi glanced at Alick and said calmly, "Who said you want to give up? Now that we have discovered this in advance, there is a lot of room for maneuver."
She understood what Alick meant, but that was not in line with the style of Hope Village and would not be adopted.
...
...
Since they are in Hope Village, they should follow the style of Hope Village.
"That's right. Now that we've discovered the problem, we'll work hard to solve it." Li Xingteng quickly echoed this. Thousands of lives are at stake. It's not easy to give up on them.
Then he reached out and nudged Zhou Zhengping beside him, "Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Zhengping listened, pursed his lips, and said bluntly: "The city must be conquered, and we just need to try to reduce the losses."
"Yes, we have come to this point. Giving up will cause too much loss to our Hope Village. Moreover, even if we give up, the remaining people in Fassar Village may not be able to escape unscathed. Perhaps the time magic also has a time limit. If we don't take action, it will be activated when the time comes. If the territory is destroyed by then, we will still be the ones to bear the blame." Lucas beside Zhou Zhengping also quickly stated his position.
Listening to the discussions, O'Neill felt overwhelmed and said directly: "Village Chief, we will do whatever you decide. Anyway, we will listen to you."
He was too lazy to consider whether this matter was right or wrong, he just wanted to listen to the lord alone.
Sure enough, after O'Neal said this, everyone else's eyes turned to Zhou Bai, waiting for his response.
Zhou Bai was silent for a moment, and quickly gave his answer: "The city must be conquered, and the people must be rescued, with as few casualties as possible!"
Zhou Bai's decision did not surprise many people.
After Zhou Bai finished speaking, the others naturally continued talking.
Bayer: "Talk to the soldiers and residents left behind in Fassar Village and have them stay as close to the city walls and gates as possible.
Heidi: "Alick and I will be responsible for studying the magic circle to see if we can break the space magic and delay a little time."
Alick: “I’m fine.”
Li Xingteng: "I will be responsible for building the platform for the giant chariot and the wall of Fasal Village. Let them transfer and at least increase the speed."
Zhou Zhengping: "I will cooperate with Li Xingteng's actions."
Lucas: "O'Neill and I will go to the city gate to prepare for the meeting."
Cao Jingshan: "I will be responsible for passing on the message."
…
In a short period of time, the main leaders of several teams on site had already assigned their own tasks.
It must be said that their attitude instantly made Zhou Bai feel like a lot of the burden on his shoulders was lightened.
It's a great feeling to have someone to share the task with.
"Let's take action!" Zhou Bai concluded, "One thing is that the good things Wolfe did in Fasal Village must be told to the residents of Fasal Village."
Zhou Bai didn't want to take the blame for Wolfe.
This guy's heart is so vicious!
Thinking of Wolff, Zhou Bai looked at Bayer beside him and said, "Let the reconnaissance team come back! There is no time to look for Wolff now."
If we go to find Wolfe, it will inevitably affect the current progress here.
After all, the territory war has a time limit, and time is limited, so there is no way to waste it on Wolfe.
Now that I think about it, maybe Wolfe has also considered this. Regardless of whether it will be useful or not, he will consider it first!
Before, she had thought that the other party was brave but not wise. Now it seems that she really underestimated him. Also, how could a lord who could become an aggressive territory be a simple person? He must have his own characteristics.
But Wolfe's characteristic is probably that he is ruthless!
No wonder Lord Boyle values him so much.
The lord of an aggressive territory, if he wants to stand out, sometimes he needs a lot of ruthlessness, right?
Hearing Zhou Bai mention Wolfe, the expressions of several people also turned a little unhappy. If possible, they still hoped to wipe out the roots. After all, no one knew whether Wolfe would do something secretly to harm Hope Village in the future after leaving. Judging from the way Wolfe did things today, he was definitely a very strong opponent. However, judging from the situation at the scene, it was impossible for them to spare the energy to deal with Wolfe.
Afterwards, the group put Wolfe behind their minds and began to divide the work.
While they were organizing their actions, the soldiers and residents of Fasal village felt that time was particularly difficult.
They didn't know whether Hope Village would accept their surrender. Also, what was the use of the magic circle above their heads and whether it would be harmful to them?
Many people with some brains were secretly wondering whether the reason why Hope Village threw them aside was related to this magic circle.
Otherwise, no one would give up the surrender of the enemy on the battlefield.
Of course, there was another reason, which was that someone discovered that they were trapped in the village of Fasal and could not enter or leave the territory at all.
The only thing that could cause this is a magic circle.
As the soldiers and residents of Fasal Village were anxious, Zhou Bai came out with Bayer, accompanied by Wolawi and Norris.
The reason for asking them to come is that they were originally soldiers from Fasar village, and they can communicate better with Fasar village.
In addition, what Wolfe did also needs to be made public through their mouths.
There is no one more convincing than their own people!
At this time, the attack on the scene has completely stopped, and the soldiers of Hope Village are still on standby.
Basically, they have now been informed of the truth about the magic circle by the captains of their respective teams, and they all expressed their full sympathy for the soldiers and residents of Fasal Village.
Meeting such a lord would be a disaster for them.
However, sympathy aside, all the soldiers are still on guard and they will not relax until the last moment.
Of course, taking advantage of this intermission, the logistics team in the rear quickly set up a big pot to prepare food for the soldiers in battle.
Several of them are full-time chefs. The food they make has certain special effects, and now mainly focuses on restoring energy and magic power.
The main focus is diet therapy.
Therefore, the aroma of food is now spreading on the battlefield.
Many of the full-time chefs are local residents, and their culinary skills have been developed in Hope Village.
When the fragrance reached the noses of the soldiers and residents of Fasal Village, they were instantly stunned.
I hope the village still has the leisure time to cook food???
Just as their attention was drawn to it, they saw two familiar figures appearing on the passage formed by the giant chariot structure.
"Wolawei, Norris, how come you are..." still alive?
In fact, these soldiers also knew that these two people were sent out on a mission, and they felt a little bit regretful at the time.
After all, they knew very well that if they tried to break through into the enemy camp, they would most likely be in great danger.
After a subsequent round of bombing, there was no movement, and they all thought that they must have died at the hands of Hope Village.
"We surrender." Wolawei didn't waste any words and directly explained his situation.
surrender?
The soldiers in Fasal village were immediately delighted. It was obvious that if Wolawi surrendered, they could also surrender.
This way, at least they don't have to worry about their lives.
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
If Hope Village is willing to accept surrender, why haven't they responded positively to the question of accepting their surrender until now?
Just when their hearts were tightening, they heard Zhou Bai's voice.
"Who among you can serve as our representative to negotiate? We have something very important that requires your cooperation."
After hearing Zhou Bai's words, the remaining captains of the soldier teams looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on one of them.
This person, Bazel, noticed the gazes of others, paused, and finally stepped forward, "Let me do it! Bazel."
"I am Zhou Bai, the chief of Hope Village. On behalf of Hope Village, I am willing to accept you as residents of Hope Village, but now a problem has arisen." As Zhou Bai spoke, his eyes fell on the magic circle above Fasal Village.
Following Zhou Bai's line of sight, Basel also saw it, and his heart sank unconsciously. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this magic circle.
"What's the problem?" Basel asked quickly.
At the same time, everyone looked at Zhou Bai eagerly. They could feel that this issue was very crucial.
"This magic circle has fire magic elements, and many of you should be able to sense it. In fact, in addition to magic elements, it also has the aura of time magic and space magic. Time magic is used in our attack on Hope Village. As long as we break the defense of Fasal Village, fire magic will descend on your territory, and space magic is used to restrict your entry and exit."
"What's wrong with fire magic coming to our territory?" Basel asked, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"There are some black stones buried in your territory. Black stone is a kind of mineral that will explode when it encounters fire." Zhou Bai explained simply.
After the words were spoken, the whole audience was silent for a moment, and then exploded in an instant.
"impossible!"
"How is that possible?"
"How could you do that, my Lord?"
"He escaped and wants to kill us?"
“…”
Wolawi and Norris watched them go from exploding to silence, and they also poured fuel on the fire.
"This is true. Those black stones were buried by Nicolas. If you ask some people, you will find out that he has been to all the public buildings in the territory."
"Lord Blackstone has also given us those explosions you just heard. That was the scene after the Blackstone exploded."
"No one knows now, Lord...how many black stones he has buried in his territory..."
At this moment, everyone's eyes flickered and their emotions varied, but in the end, their emotions all converged on one point.
disappointment.
At this point, there was no need for Hope Village to deceive them anymore.
“So if we hope that the village continues to attack the territory, once the territory is broken, your territory will explode. By then, no one knows how many of you will survive. That’s why we have temporarily stopped the attack. However, this is only a temporary solution. Even if we give up the siege in the end, we are not sure whether the time magic of this magic circle will be activated due to the depletion of magic power.” Zhou Bai directly stated the consequences.
At the same time, the blame was put back on Wolfe.
The captains of the soldiers at the scene, including Basel, all understood Zhou Bai's little tricks, but they did not feel disgusted at all. They knew very well that this was the fact.
The fact that so many of them were abandoned by their own lords.
And if they could stop, they would be considered their savior.
Bazel's voice became a little difficult. "What should we do?"
What can we do to have a glimmer of hope?
"We are not absolutely sure either. Now we can only save as many of your people as possible. We need you to pass on this message and move everyone as close to the city walls and gates as possible. After we break into the city and before the territory explodes, move your people out." Zhou Bai said directly.
It also temporarily concealed the speculation that the number of black stones might not be that large.
This speculation was just her idea, and there was no need to speak out her inner thoughts.
After that, he glanced at Wolawei and Norris, "By the way, I hope you can find their families first. This is the condition we promised them."
Wolawei and Norris listened and looked at Zhou Bai with gratitude.
I didn't expect Zhou Bai to still be thinking about them at this time! It's really great.
Bazel listened, glanced at Wolaway and Norris who were staring at him eagerly, and nodded, "Okay, I will cooperate and try my best to calm everyone down."
"I'm waiting for your good news. Don't worry, our people are already making preparations." Zhou Bai said, pointing to several places.
Following the direction Zhou Bai pointed, Bazel saw Heidi and Alick, who were studying formations with a group of magicians, the orc soldiers squatting at the city gate, and the passage on the city wall that was constantly widening...
After responding lightly, Basel looked at the captains of the various soldier teams beside him, and then called some of the officials who had been left behind in the lord's mansion. While counting the number of remaining residents, he also spread the news.
For a moment, the entire territory was filled with crying and wailing.
Especially the shop owners who had just been robbed, many of them were the leaders of the foreign caravans who stayed here.
After they were robbed, they initially thought it was just a financial loss, but when the news spread, they realized.
Not only were their money stolen, but they were also in danger of losing their lives.
"Damn it, Wolfe is such a vicious guy."
"Damn it, damn it! He lost his territory, why should we be buried with him?"
"That's too cruel. What should I do now?"
"Listen to them, pack your things quickly and wait at the city gate or the city wall."
"Will it really help to wait there?"
"It's better than staying here and waiting to die."
“…”
While the residents of Fasal Village were preparing to escape, Zhou Bai and his group were also seizing the opportunity to make efforts.
[Note: Village-level territory war, duration: 24 hours (countdown: 10:35)]
The territory war is already halfway through, and we need to race against time.
In fact, Zhou Bai had no idea what the final result would be.
However, they will not give up their efforts until the final result appears.
At least, they have tried their best, and they can be said to be worthy of themselves and their own hearts.
While Zhou Bai was leading his team to work hard in Fasal Village, Filia had already arrived at the planting base in the back mountain of the village with familiarity.
After landing, she subconsciously waited for Baker to send someone to notify Zhou Bai, but she didn't expect Baker to directly take out a storage stone made of space stone and handed it to her.
"This is the food that the lord has prepared for you." Baker was originally timid and he retreated a little when facing the dragons. But after several exchanges, he knew that Filia would not do anything to him, so he was no longer so afraid, and he was very sincere when he spoke.
But Filia was not happy when she heard this. "Where's Zhou Bai? Why doesn't she come to see me herself?"
Since she was Zhou Bai's honored guest, she should have come to entertain her personally. It had only been a few days of hospitality, but now he treated her like this, humph! She was very angry.
If I don’t give her more delicious food, I won’t be able to get over this!
"The village chief led his troops out to fight this morning and has not returned yet."
"Territory war?" Filia dug out this idea from her mind. After all, their dragon clan did not need to participate.
"Yes." Baker said, and then a trace of worry appeared on his face, "This is still our territory.
Filia listened, her eyes flickering slightly, "Which territory did she go to?"
"Fasal Village, this territory is an aggressive territory. They invaded us last time and we drove them away. Their lord has come to cause trouble for our village chief again. This time our territory is also aiming to annex them, so it will take a little more time." Baker said, also defending his territory.
Filia didn't sense his little trick. After knowing the location, she directly took the storage stone and disappeared in an instant.
Baker didn't take it seriously and went on with his own business. After all, Lord Long had been coming and going without a trace these days.
After leaving Hope Village, Filia opened the map directly, found the location of Fasal Village on it, flapped her wings, and headed straight towards Fasal Village.
She wanted to settle the score with Zhou Bai.
Who told her to stand her up without saying anything?
