"Surik, the lord of Surik town, and Artel, the mayor of Surik town? Are you saying that these two people are very suspicious?" Zhou Bai looked at the new list submitted by Bayer in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Bayer said a few pieces of information to verify this.
“After they arrived at Hope Town, in addition to eating free food, they went to three locations: Commercial Street,
"In addition, the town of Sulik itself is a well-known aggressive territory. It wins every territory war and annexes every territory. It also has a hobby. When it annexes a territory, as long as the new territory is better than the existing one, it will use the new territory's architectural structure."
"Most of the lords who come to Hope Town will seriously visit Hope Town, either to study or to stroll around... There are really no lords who have clear goals like them. Moreover, they have been whispering together all the time, and they have even used magic to set up silencing spells around them so that no one can hear what they are talking about."
"Taking various factors into consideration, the probability that they are Marquis Boyle's subordinates is very high, at least higher than the several territories we have observed."
After listening, Zhou Bai looked thoughtful.
When there was a list of suspects before, Bayer never found her to say so much, he just submitted the list.
Now that I can say this, it is quite certain.
"Are there any missions for the town of Sulik? Send a team over to investigate." As he spoke, Zhou Bai opened the mission list in the mission center and searched for a long time but could not find any missions issued by the town of Sulik.
...
...
"The town of Sulik does not accept missions from the mission center. Only their teams are allowed to go out, and teams from other territories are not allowed to enter." Bayer said quickly. Before coming here, he had already investigated the situation in the town of Sulik.
It was obvious that for Sulik, only the teams that migrated over land could be controlled under their surveillance.
They are very vigilant.
This is closely related to the nature of their territory.
Zhou Bai listened and understood what Bayer meant. He then unfolded his map of the Stan Continent and soon found the location of the town of Sulik.
What surprised Zhou Bai was that the town of Sulik was not too far from the town of Hope.
As mentioned before, Hope Town is a border territory in the southeast area of Vitali City, one of the four major cities in the north of the Human Kingdom.
The town of Sulik is the southwestern area of Vitali City.
Subconsciously, Zhou Bai started to think of conspiracy theories.
Because if the small town of Surik develops, then the entire southern region under the control of Vitali City will be under the control of Loviisa City.
In the northeastern area there is the big city of Delisha, and in the northwest area there is the city of Hastings. Hastings and Vitali are almost neighbors.
If the forces of these two cities are also linked to the people behind the city of Loviisa.
The city of Vitali is in danger.
This entire area will belong to the people behind the city of Loviisa.
This is simply a big chess game!
Although this is just her current speculation, she thinks it makes sense.
The city of Loviisa definitely has a purpose in supporting aggressive territories, and the struggle for power and profit is its most essential purpose.
If this is true, the sudden rise of Hope Town has really torn a hole in this area.
This explains why the city of Loviisa has repeatedly targeted the town of Hope.
In addition to eyeing the good things in Hope Town, they also do not allow Hope Town to become a variable in their plans.
So we left Fasal village and came to the small town of Sulik.
Who can say that after the town of Sulik is gone, there won’t be other towns appearing in the future!
Even if necessary, the city of Loviisa may take action personally in the future.
Zhou Bai was considering whether there would be a breakthrough point.
Just like Sulik is looking for a backer, she can find one too!
There is no way Vitali City is unaware of its own situation.
If she hands over this information, will she be able to get some help?
It doesn't need to be too much, just give Hope Town a little more time to develop.
His thoughts drifted away, but Zhou Bai did not forget what they were facing now, and said directly: "I sent you the location of Sulik Town, send a few teams to investigate the situation!"
"If we send the team from Hope Town over there, it will probably alert the enemy." Bayer said directly.
"It's okay. Let the team go to the territory near Sulik Town to complete tasks and do business, and then go to Sulik Town. Of course, we will also send teams that are not named after the town." Zhou Bai said directly, "In addition, we also need to send teams to Lovisa City, Hastings City, and Delisha City."
Even if it’s preparation in advance!
She originally thought that things would get easier as her strength improved, but reality told her that there is no hardest, only harder things.
As long as Hope Town is not a top territory, it will always be involved in the competition for interests and will not be able to stay out of it.
"Yes." Bayer had just seen Zhou Bai checking the map and thinking for so long, so he guessed that his lord might have some other plans.
The order has come, and he just needs to do it.
Anyway, the Lord will tell you when the time comes.
Then, Zhou Bai handed the map of the entire area to Bayer.
Looking at the map, Bayer's eyes widened, "My Lord, this..."
"Here's the map of this area for you to arrange things." Zhou Bai didn't intend to keep using the map himself.
However, if the news that she owned the entire map of the Stan continent were to get out, she might attract too much attention. For her own sake, she naturally had to keep a low profile.
Giving them the map of this area was also intended to wait until the team in their territory had explored the entire area, and then we could take the opportunity to give it to them.
By then, the students in the territory can learn some geography, so that they will have an idea of what to do when they go out for training in the future.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai continued: "You can give it to anyone you trust, just ask them not to spread it."
She believes Bayer will take care of it.
"Yeah." After understanding Zhou Bai's meaning, Bayer accepted it.
Indeed, with this map, it will be more convenient for them to integrate the information network.
Bayer already has a candidate in mind.
At least Zhong Yongnian and Yun Juncai from the newly established External Management Office will give it.
Speaking of which, after the establishment of this Foreign Affairs Management Office, not only did it sign cooperation agreements with other territories, but some information from other territories was also continuously added.
Especially Yun Juncai, he had never thought before that he had collected so much information about Yun Juncai's mercenary team without realizing it.
It was originally intended to be brought out at the right time, but it was suddenly pulled into the external department, and they submitted this information at the same time as the management department.
In an instant, the contribution level increased rapidly.
Especially the mercenaries of Yun Juncai's Xiaoyao Mercenary Team, their average contribution is much higher.
Speaking of which, as Hope Town develops, the population has grown, and contribution has become a label for the residents of Hope Town.
The more contributions a resident makes, the prouder he or she is.
After all, this is also a medal on another level.
In addition, contribution points can be exchanged for items in the official store of the territory, and it is exchanged for copper coins at a 1:1 ratio. Although the contribution points will be deducted after the exchange, it also allows many residents to save a lot of money.
The ability of the people in Yun Juncai's team can also be seen from the contribution level of territory distribution. Yun Juncai directly recruited some of the people in the team as employees of the management office.
In just two days, the External Affairs Office was back on track.
The thousands of shop lease contracts in the territory now are all thanks to them.
Although without them, these territories would eventually find Hope Town, but because of one step short of them, the efficiency would be low.
It is precisely because of the examples set by these shops that more territories are following suit, fearing that they will lose their position if they are a step late.
With more shops, there are naturally more tourists. In addition to the residents of these territories who learned the news, there are also many travelers who came here because they heard about the fame of Hope Town.
All in all, the benefits of opening up to the outside world to Hope Town are really huge. If Hope Town can remain stable, it may really be able to achieve a leap forward in a very short period of time.
That is, from small town to city.
Because to a certain extent, Hope Town is only one step away from being promoted from a Level 1 town to a Level 2 town.
After waiting for a month, I hope the town will be able to achieve this goal and surpass the conditions.
When Bayer thought of this, his heart became hot.
In the past, if we moved too fast, we would attract too much attention and too much covetousness.
But after learning from the lord that the special weather would soon come back and last longer, and that the waves on the calm continent of Stan would become turbulent, he understood.
Crisis is also an opportunity for Hope Town to grow and develop.
A normal territory will not seek out a territory with great potential to engage in internal strife and benefit other territories.
Hope Town has made a great comeback against Fasal Village.
Now, we just have to wait for the next territory war in more than twenty days.
In this battle, if a powerful aggressive territory like Surik Town really chooses Hope Town and lets Hope Town defend it.
I hope the town will be able to rest easy from now on!
Therefore, this month is the most critical time for Hope Town.
But... Bayer also thought of the small town of Sulik and the city of Loviisa behind it.
I hope that no matter how the town develops, it will not be able to avoid it.
There is still a long way to go!
Be steady and take one solid step at a time.
Bayer warned himself again in his heart.
After he stepped down, Bayer made arrangements.
But Zhou Bai in the office unfolded the map again and began to organize the information about each territory that he had collected so far.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
Now that you are already in the game, try your best to gain more chips for yourself.
During this period of time, I have been consciously collecting information. Although it is not very detailed, I have learned a lot about the interactions and disputes between several large territories, because these are not top secrets in the human kingdom.
In addition, what happened in the small town of Sulik and the city of Lovisa just now gave her inspiration. Perhaps she could get a glimpse of the power of the human kingdom from the entanglements of these large territories.
Zhou Bai filled in the information points bit by bit by referring to the map.
After a few hours, a new interpersonal network was initially established in Zhou Bai's hands.
Finally, Zhou Bai's gaze fell on the royal capital of Saint Sebastian.
I couldn't help but sigh softly.
Even if the royal capital exists in name only, it is still no easy matter!
It is now the center of the human kingdom and the manipulator behind the entire human kingdom's power!
