[Main Mission 1: Territory War]
[Nature: Time-limited task]
[Introduction: Overlord Village has challenged Hope Village. Please protect our territory. The war will last for 24 hours.]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Target of implementation: All residents]
After posting the notice, Zhou Bai directly clicked on the territories that could be selected after the territory war, and they appeared in front of her in order of ranking.
【Territory Region Ranking】
1. Ningshan Village
2. Tarbert Village
...
...
3. Wenxia Village
…
59. Overlord Village
After a while, the figure of Overlord Village came into sight.
It is undeniable that Zhou Bai's mood was affected a little when he saw the ranking.
Judging from the ranking of territories, they are obviously currently arranged in the order of the time when the territories officially passed the initial test.
Hope Village is in
The time is already very tight, but her ranking is still 192nd.
Overlord Village
Her territory began to experience rapid development after the promotion, and the other party must be no exception. The only uncertainty is whether the other party has the same financial ability as her.
Fortunately, the territory war is fought on the side of the challenged party, so she still has a certain advantage. She just needs to do her best to defend the territory.
As Bayer said, village-level wars are wars of attrition.
Looking at his account balance, Zhou Bai felt relieved.
At this time, there was a knock on Zhou Bai's door. When he opened the door, he saw Zhou Zhengping and Ding Qiurou. It was still early and they were all at home. After receiving the notification from the territory, they naturally came to Zhou Bai to inquire about the situation.
"Is there an attack on the territory? When will it come?" Ding Qiurou asked anxiously.
"The 24 hours starts from the moment he enters the territory, but we have no idea when they will arrive, when they will attack, and how they will attack. As the lord, I don't even know when the other side will deploy troops to our territory. In wartime, the territory map function is suspended." Zhou Bai explained as he looked at the situation of the territory war.
"So all we can do is wait?"
"Yes, but as the challenged party, we also have the home advantage."
"How does the other territory rank?"
"No. 59, they are so much ahead of us. It's obvious that they want to plunder our territory's resources. They probably think we are easy to bully because of our territory's ranking. Plus, the time limit is only 24 hours, so they won't waste too much time lurking. I think their fight will be quick, accurate and ruthless." Zhou Bai understood what her father wanted to ask and analyzed it accordingly.
"From Bayer, we know that our territory's defense is quite strong, so there's no need to worry too much." Zhou Zhengping felt relieved after hearing this, and immediately comforted him, "Besides, we have been making preparations these days, so there will be no problem."
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded. "Speaking of the city wall, I thought of another possibility. If the defense of our city wall exceeds their expectations, maybe they will adjust their plan and set up an ambush instead."
At this time, Zhou Bai felt that the more than one hundred gold coins he had invested were worth it. Perhaps it could buy more time for the development of the territory!
"Then let's go together now! Everyone should have gone to the territory gate." Zhou Zhengping said directly. He also had to report to the military camp.
"good."

In Hope Village, more and more people came out of their houses anxiously after seeing the news.
The first group of residents, without saying a word, walked towards the city gate one by one with weapons in hand.
"Fuck him."
"You're not afraid of monsters, so why would you be afraid of humans?"
"Everyone, charge!"
"I'll go too. Although I'm not good at fighting, I can still contribute to the logistics."
“…”
Seeing these people being so active and enthusiastic, some residents who came later were stunned, especially those who had come in the past two days. They said that they were a little panicked because they had just moved from exile to a relatively reliable territory, and now they suddenly had to go through a territory war.
They are now really afraid that their current territory will be conquered and they will be forced into exile again.
"What is a territorial war like?"
"Where is the Overlord Village that is attacking Hope Village? How do we attack it?"
"Can our territory win?"
“…”
They grabbed the people around them and asked anxiously.
Some old residents looked at their expressions and started to explain.
"A territory war is a war that a territory must go through. It happens once a month. You can actively challenge or be challenged. After one battle, the territory can develop with peace of mind and wait for the next month."
"The war is on the same level, village against village."
"For the challenger, conquering the opponent's territory is victory. After victory, they can seize the opponent's buildings, supplies and even people. Conversely, the challenged party wins by defending the territory. The benefits are the same."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this Overlord Village is a village just like ours. The survivors in their territory were once our compatriots, but they belonged to different territories. Once a war breaks out, we will be enemies and we must defend our territory."
"If we fail, any one of us may belong to the other party's territory. Don't think you can survive if you enter the other party's territory. You have to see how the territory treats its residents. There are two territories that came earlier than you. One is Wuji Village, where the lord led the robbery and the residents were in a miserable state. The other is Canglei Village, where the prices are ridiculously high. I don't know if you have been wandering before or wandering after the territory was destroyed. You should all know how stable life is in Hope Village. The prices are low and there are many types of buildings. Among the same batch of territories, I believe Hope Village is one of the best."
"Besides, the walls of our territory are so thick, we don't have to worry at all. Those monsters don't like to run near us."
"Of course, if you feel there is something better, you can choose to leave in the future, but before you leave, while we are fighting, I hope everyone can go all out and protect our home."
“…”
The new residents listened and thought about the more stable life they would have after coming to Hope Village, so they quickly expressed their attitudes.
“We will definitely give it our all.”
"Our previous territory was pretty good, but the construction of the territory couldn't keep up and was breached by monsters. Now we are the people of Hope Village, so naturally we hope that this place can be fine."
"Come on, I'll go fight with you."
“…”
**
Inside a wooden house in the territory.
"The last time the monsters attacked the territory, we happened to miss it because we were in the house, but the territory survived in the end. You just stay with me and wait in the house! What should I do if something happens to you?" Meng Chengzhou's wife Yun Ya Ge couldn't help but persuade.
In her opinion, war is a huge killing machine. In the confrontation between two territories, someone will always die. If the dead person is her husband, what will she do if he is left alone?
"If everyone thinks this way, will there be anyone guarding the territory? I must go." Meng Chengzhou said firmly, and then looked at his wife's worried look and comforted her, "If it weren't for the soldiers in the territory who saved us, we would have died in the mouth of the monster. After coming to the territory, I made torches and umbrellas one after another, which made our lives stable. It is because the territory is stable that we can do business smoothly and support ourselves in the territory. I don't know if other territories will be like this, but now, I just hope that the territory can continue to be stable, and its stability is inseparable from the efforts of every resident. Ya Ge, I hope you support me."
Yun Yage looked at Meng Chengzhou's determined expression, thinking about the peace during this period, and finally nodded, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
"I will. Don't worry at home. Your heart can't take it. Wait for me to come back." Meng Chengzhou still has confidence in the territory.
Afterwards, Meng Chengzhou left home.
There are many people like him who bid farewell to their families and embark on a journey.

When Zhou Bai and his family arrived at the city gate, they saw countless residents gathered at the scene, and everyone had a determined look on their faces.
The soldiers of the territory have also lined up in an orderly manner.
When Zhou Zhengping saw the team of soldiers, he walked straight forward to his position.
Compared with other residents, the soldiers were obviously more orderly.
After seeing that all the soldiers had arrived, Bayer made arrangements for them directly, "The archers, go up to the city wall, guard your positions according to the previous drills, and maneuver to fight the enemy."
"Yes." A team of 40 archers climbed onto the city wall, one team was led by Alick and Heidi, and the other team was led by Simmons and Frey. Simmons and Frey were two NPCs summoned later, also archers and magicians. They directly added 20 soldiers to form an archer team led by them.
As for the two NPCs summoned yesterday, Charlotte and Cork, they were swordsmen and mercenaries like Bayer. Bayer also formed a team with them and summoned 20 soldiers to form an infantry team. However, unlike the infantry team he led that learned to use the spear, the other group's training focused on actual combat, emphasizing individual combat, and all those selected were strength-type.
However, they had only been training for one day and had not yet seen results. After some consideration, Bayer quickly came up with an idea, "Charlotte, Cork, you also lead the soldiers to the city wall and be ready to throw stones at the attacking team."
There are no catapults now, so we have to throw the stones manually.
"Yes." Charlotte and Kirk straightened their strong chests and nodded without hesitation.
They can do things that can be done just by using physical strength.
After arranging the counterattack on the city wall, Bayer looked at the infantry and shield soldiers under his and Dennis' command, "You go to guard the city gate now. As long as there are attackers, don't hesitate."
"Yes." Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng led the team directly to the city gate.
All the soldiers have been arranged.
Seeing this scene, the residents nearby couldn't help but speak up.
"Lord Bayer, what do you think we can do?"
“We can do things, too.”
"Guarding the city gates is the same. I'm already level 8."
"Me too, I'm level 9."
“…”
Bayer looked at the enthusiastic crowd and made a quiet gesture. The scene instantly became quiet. He then said, "I do need your help with something."
"The stones in the territory need to be cut into blocks. You form a team to cut the stones and prepare them for the slinging team."
"Those with medical experience will follow Dennis to form a medical team to ensure that the injured can receive timely assistance."
"Combatants of level 9 and above are prepared to replace injured soldiers."
"Form a logistics team, calculate the equipment and items needed at the battle site, and collect them from the blacksmith shop and tailor shop in time."
“…”
Orders were given one after another, and the personnel on site began to divide into groups according to their expertise.
Each one of them was very active and did as instructed.
Looking at this scene, Bayer couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
The humans in this territory are so lovable! They are so united! If all human territories were like this, how could they have fallen into such an embarrassing situation?
He looked across the crowd and met Zhou Bai's eyes, who was already standing in the battle team. He nodded to her imperceptibly.
Zhou Bai instantly understood what Bayer meant, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
With an experienced commander, she, as the lord, can have less worries.
With sufficient preparations this time, even if many things were not used in the end, their territory could still accumulate experience through this territory war and prepare for the next one.
It was on this basis that she allowed Bayer to independently mobilize all available resources.
The actions here did not escape the eyes of Diana and Harrison, who were watching everything that happened here not far away.
Seeing more than 300 people in the territory, almost all of them were standing here, and they all looked a little surprised.
"I heard that the other side is also a level 1 village. Is it necessary to fight on this scale in a level 1 village?" Harrison couldn't help but ask. He was still forced to work overtime these past two days and got a lot of bows and arrows with no technical content. It was really a waste of talent.
"You don't understand." Diana smiled faintly and didn't intend to explain.
She felt that since every battle was fought so seriously, she hoped that no matter what kind of territory they would encounter in the future, the village would be able to fight.
Harrison: “…”
——He is a dwarf and indeed does not understand humans, but so what? Humans still cannot defeat them.
**
Just when everything was ready in Hope Village, the Overlord Village that launched the challenge had already gathered a team of more than 200 people and entered the designated area of the territory.
[Dear host, should we attack Hope Village now? ]
"Yes." Ke Gaojie, the lord of Overlord Village, nodded without hesitation.
As soon as the words fell, the area where they were standing emitted a bright light.
When the light faded, they had already stepped into the territory of Hope Village.
A big chapter, two updates in one, there will be another update later!
Also, please give me some votes, muah~
