"My Lord, where are we going next?" Seeing Surik laughing in anger, Atel's heart was uneasy, but he couldn't just stand there in a daze, so he could only speak up to change the subject.
However, deep down in his heart, he admired the merchants in Hope Town for their ability to "trick" their lord into giving him money.
At least, not many people can get undeserved money from the stingy lord.
He just thought that sooner or later there would be a war between his own territory and Hope Town, and by then what was lost would be taken back, and his lord should be able to comfort him.
He just needed to ask the lord not to vent his anger on him.
Surik came back to his senses instantly after listening to Artel's words. He put away the eye-catching electric car in front of him and chuckled, "This Hope Town is quite interesting. Let's walk around and have a look."
"Yes." Atel said, standing silently behind Surik.
Afterwards, Surik, who was saying he was just taking a walk, went straight to the south gate of the city.
Obviously, they were heading for the military camp in Hope Town.
To determine whether a territory is strong or not, we must not only look at the economic prosperity of a territory, but also the military strength of a territory.
...
...
Now that they have seen the prosperity of Hope Town, they naturally want to take a look at the military strength of Hope Town.
"The Hope Town announced two days ago that it would recruit another 2,000 soldiers. They are still in training, and the final result will be decided in a month." Atel whispered in Surik's ear.
They are
Ever since they received the order from their superiors to deal with Hope Town, they naturally started to gather information when the other party was still a village-level territory.
He is nothing like the idiot in Fasal Village, who wanted to give it a try even though he was clearly weak.
Everyone knows what Wolfe is thinking. He was humiliated by Hope Town and wanted to find a chance to make it up to him, so he kept delaying. However, he didn't expect that Hope Town also had backbone.
Although it was unknown what methods Hope Town used to eradicate the enemy completely, it was obvious that Hope Town was definitely not as "weak" as the territories they had encountered before.
This battle is difficult to fight!
Surik listened to Atel's words and paused, "Did you change your job?"
"I'm afraid not. I heard that they recruited more than 3,000 people for training!" Arter said, "But whether or not there is a job change does not make a big difference to the strength of Hope Town. After all, if they are not soldiers, they are professionals. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be too much fluctuation."
He knew what the lord was worried about. He was worried that Hope Town was hiding something.
I hope the town has some hidden tricks, I just don’t know if this is one of them.
I think, even if it is, the gap is not that big.
"Yeah." Sulik responded, and it was obvious that he thought so too.
The two of them walked forward quietly. People walked around from time to time, but it did not affect their mood.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It is naturally impossible to drive others away.
The most important thing is that they can also learn some information from these other people.
"The layout of Hope Town is really interesting." After walking through several streets and looking left and right, Surik naturally understood the layout of Hope Town.
The five rings form a circle, which is a relatively reasonable distribution. At least the daily life of residents is connected with the business of shops. Even if there are no tourists, it will not be too bad.
For residents, life is probably very inconvenient.
I have always heard that Hope Town is good for its residents, but I never thought it would be true and that it has already been put into action.
No wonder so many people want to become residents of Hope Town today.
It would be better if more people came, and it would be a bargain for him then.
Surik spoke confidently.
"I hope the town lord is also a good money-maker. These shops are only rented out and not sold, which means a constant source of money." Artel's expression also showed some emotion.
"So I hope this town is rich!" As Surik said this, he felt a little itchy.
Gold coins! Gold coins! His favorite thing in life!
Sooner or later she'll be in his arms.
Ater looked at his lord's reaction and smiled in his heart.
He hoped that the richer the town became, the more his family would care about it, and naturally the more powerful it would be in battle.
Thinking of this, Artel felt that it was very important to recognize the strength of Hope Town.
While they were thinking this, they were almost at the city gate.
At this time, the city gate was bustling with people coming and going, and the liveliness was no less than the core area dominated by the lord's mansion.
Especially the animal cart, which can be used to go in and out.
Yes, this South Gate is an important entrance for other territories to come to Hope Town. After all, the factories in Hope Town are concentrated in this area, and those who buy goods from Hope Town in large quantities have to enter and exit here.
In addition to the prosperity at the gate, I hope that the town's south gate
Not for any other reason, but because the shops on this street are selling like hot cakes!
"The shop in front is one that has become quite famous in various small towns these days." Artel looked at the customers queuing in front of the store and started introducing them directly.
“
“
“
“
"In addition to these shops, there are others, involving territories such as Benguela Town and Glasgow Town. I heard that Hope Town has signed contracts directly with more than 500 territories, including nearly 400 village-level territories and more than 100 town-level territories. They have all rented shops in Hope Town and sold their territory's specialty products. Now they are saying that they can buy the most complete products, the best services, and the most delicious food in Hope Town."
“…”
Artel spoke bit by bit, with a hint of solemnity in his expression.
I hope the town has now gathered quite a lot of territory.
Although they are only economically connected at present, if the interests deepen in the future, these territories may support Hope Town for the sake of their interests.
The future is an extraordinary force.
This Hope Town is really playing a good game of chess!
"No wonder the Marquis asked me to resolve Hope Town as soon as possible. If we give Hope Town some more time, it will be really difficult to deal with." Surik still recognized the strength of Hope Town.
"It's already difficult to deal with now. So many platinum weapons and blue equipment are in the hands of Hope Town. When Hope Town attacked Fasal Village before, it was equipped with gold weapons and red equipment. No one knows whether they will be upgraded." Artel said pertinently. Judging from the current situation of Hope Town, it is obvious that it has the financial resources to do so.
As expected, Surik listened and said with a sly smile: "That's just right, I will ask the Earl for more gold coins, and then he will match my whole army. Who is afraid of who?"
"This is a good idea. Since the Lord listens to the Earl so much, the Earl will definitely be willing to spend the money. Our soldiers have the same weapons and equipment, but their levels are stronger than theirs. With the addition of secret weapons, we will definitely sweep through Hope Town." Artel lowered his voice and said excitedly.
"Yeah." Sulik nodded.
By then, I hope that everything the town owns will be his.
He thought the model of Hope Town was very good. Once he occupied Hope Town, he would do things the way of Hope Town.
By then, money will roll in!
It’s his, it’s his, it’s all his!
Thinking about it, Surik said again, "Write down the names of these territories. After we clean up Hope Town, none of these territories will be able to escape. They have a lot of good things in their new territories, and they are all different."
"I will remember it well. When the time comes, I will register them one by one according to their rankings and collect their information. Then I will let you, my lord, catch them all in one fell swoop." Artel was also very tempted by the good things in these territories.
When the territory makes money, he will also make money.
"Yeah." Sulik nodded with satisfaction.
Then I looked outside these shops.
As for queuing, he had no interest in it.
After looking at it here, he went straight to the military camp opposite.
Since the opening of the new military camp, the old military camp here has been closed.
Standing at the door, Surik and Atel couldn't see anything.
"I don't know what's going on in there, but this military camp has been upgraded to the intermediate level. A large training room was added yesterday. In addition to training the entire army for battle, you can also customize the scenes. It can be said to be a big deal." Artel said quickly.
They also have a large training room in their territory. After all, they rely on their fighting power to make a living.
The military must be strong.
They are very willing to spend money on this.
The strength of the soldiers in their territory is said to be no less than that of the orcs. Of course, it is a little bit exaggerated, but it just proves their strength.
"It's only been a month, and they won't grow much." Surik still has great confidence in the strength of the soldiers in his territory.
After all, many of them are already high-level professionals, and there is still a long way to go for Hope Town!
"Yes, yes, your lord is right."
"Let's go check out another military camp." Surik said.
"Okay." Then, Artel hailed a passing animal cart, and the two of them got on the cart and headed straight for the new military camp in Hope Town.
The new military camp was open. In addition to the soldiers, there were many professionals training inside. When he saw this scene, Surik paused and asked, "Have you ever known the number of professionals in Hope Town?"
Now that he thought about it, it seemed that he rarely saw ordinary residents in Hope Town.
Do you hope that the proportion of professionals in the town will be higher?
"The Marquis has reminded us of this. There are many people with dual magic and martial arts professions in Hope Town. Basically, all the people brought here from the new territories have magical talents." When Artel said this, his eyes became more serious. "This has been verified, not only in Hope Town, but also in other new territories. It is precisely because of this that these new territories have been able to prosper in such a short period of time. The only thing to be thankful for is that their numbers are relatively small. I think they were able to suddenly come to the Stan Continent because their talents were noticed."
"Who is behind this?" Sulik asked subconsciously.
"How would I know about this? It is impossible for the Marquis to tell us such important news." Artel said.
They only knew that there was a bigger presence behind the Marquis.
With their current status, they are just minions supported by the Marquis, how can they be qualified!
"There will be opportunities in the future." Surik said with ambition in his eyes.
At least, he knew more than the other supported lords, which meant that the Marquis valued him more.
As long as his territory is upgraded to a city and plays a greater role in the future, he will always know.
"That day will come!" Artel said confidently.
Just then, they saw groups of soldiers running on the military camp's playground, each person running at a different speed, some in front and some behind.
"Is this the way Hope Town trains its new recruits? Running laps?" Surik asked in surprise.
"They said they wanted to test their endurance. This is a daily necessity," Artel responded.
"That's all!" Surik said nonchalantly.
Endurance is nothing compared to powerful attack power.
"Yes, yes. I hope the town can compare with our territory," Artel agreed.
"Let's go!" Surik said directly.
After the tour, it’s time to leave. I’ll come back to see what Hope Town is like after a while.
"yes."
The two of them left hand in hand.
But what the two didn't know was that their entire movements were being observed by Hope Town.
As soon as they left, the name of their territory was added to the list of suspected enemies of Hope Town.
