Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment when he saw the news, but he quickly calmly opened the lord panel and started issuing mission notifications.
[Main Mission 1: Territory War]
[Nature: Time-limited task]
[Introduction: Bawang Village has launched a challenge to Hope Village, please protect our territory, the war lasts 24 hours]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Execution target: all residents]
After issuing the notice, Zhou Bai directly clicked on the selectable territories after the territory war, and they appeared in front of her in order of ranking.
[Territory area ranking]
1. Ningshan Village
2. Xidong Village
3. Wenxia Village
…
59, Bawang Village
After a while, I saw the figure of Bawang Village.
The moment he saw the rankings, it was undeniable that Zhou Bai's mood was slightly affected.
Judging from the ranking of the territories, it is obvious that the current ranking is based on the time when the territories officially passed the first test.
Hope Village faced the test on the second night and officially passed in the early morning of the third day.
This time is already very tight, but her ranking is still 192.
Bawang Village is ranked 59th, and its territory was promoted and passed the test earlier. Obviously, its strength cannot be underestimated.
After her promotion, her territory began to experience rapid development, and the other party was certainly no exception. The only uncertainty was whether the other party had the same money-making ability as hers.
Fortunately, the territory war's home field lies with the side being challenged, so she still has a certain advantage. She just needs to try her best to defend the territory.
As Bayer said, village-level wars are wars of attrition.
Looking at his account balance, Zhou Bai suddenly 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 both at home. After receiving the notice of the territory, they naturally came to Zhou Bai to inquire about the situation.
"A territory is coming? When will it come?" Ding Qiurou asked anxiously.
"The 24 hours starts from the moment he enters the territory, but when they arrive, when they attack, and how they attack, we have no way of knowing. Even when the other party sends troops to our territory, as the lord, I have no idea. I don’t know, the territory map function is suspended during wartime.” Zhou Bai explained while looking at the attention of the territory war.
"So all we can do is wait?"
"Yes, but as the challenged party, we also have a home field advantage. In addition, the time is only 24 hours, so the opponent will not waste too much time lurking."
"What's the ranking of the opponent's territory?"
"No. 59, ranked so much higher than us. It is clear that they want to plunder the resources of our territory. They probably think that we are easy to bully based on the ranking of our territory. I think their battles will be more fast, accurate and ruthless." Zhou Bai She understood what her father wanted to ask and followed his words to analyze.
"We can know from Bayer that the defense of our territory is quite strong, so there is no need to worry too much." After hearing this, Zhou Zhengping felt confident, and then comforted him, "And we have been making preparations these days, so there won't be any questionable."
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded.
"Let's go together! Everyone should be heading to the territory gate now." Zhou Zhengping said urgently. He was also going 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 walked toward the city gate one by one with weapons in hand without saying a word.
"Fuck him to death."
"You're not afraid of monsters anymore, are you still afraid of people?"
"Everyone, rush!"
"I'll go too. Although I'm not good at combat, I can still contribute to the logistics."
"..."
Seeing these people's active and enthusiastic appearance, some residents who came later were stunned, especially the residents in the past two days. They said that they were a little panicked, and they had just returned from exile to a relatively reliable place. Territory, now suddenly we are going to experience some kind of territorial war.
They are now really afraid that their current territory will be breached and they will be forced into exile again.
"What does a territorial war look like?"
"Where is the Overlord Village that attacks Hope Village? How to attack?"
“Can our territory win?”
"..."
They grabbed hold of people around them and asked anxiously.
Some old residents looked at their appearance and explained.
"Territory war is a war that a territory must go through. Once a month, you can take the initiative to challenge or be challenged. After once, the territory can develop with peace of mind and wait for the next month."
"War is fought on a level basis, village against village."
"For the challenging party, conquering the opponent's territory is a victory. After victory, you can rob the opponent's buildings, materials and even people; conversely, the challenged party holding the territory is a victory, and the benefits are the same."
"As expected, this Overlord Village is a village just like ours. The survivors in their territory were once our compatriots. However, in 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 that you can survive entering the other party's territory. You have to see how that territory treats its residents. There are two people who came earlier than you. A territory, a Wuji Village, where the lord takes the lead in robbery, and the residents are miserable, and a Canglei Village, where prices are ridiculously high. I don’t know if you have been wandering before or after the territory was destroyed. You should all know how stable we want the village life to be. With low prices, many types of buildings, and the same territory, I believe Hope Village is one of the best.”
"Of course, if you think there is a better one, you can choose to leave in the future, but before leaving, during the battle, I hope everyone can go all out to protect our home."
"..."
Listening to this, the new residents thought of the more stable life after coming to Hope Village than before, and quickly expressed their attitude.
"We will definitely do our best as well."
"Our territory was pretty good before, but the construction of the territory couldn't keep up and was invaded by monsters. Now that we are people from Hope Village, we naturally hope that this place will be well."
"Let's go, I'll come with you."
"..."
**
In a wooden house in the territory.
"The last time the monsters attacked the territory, we happened to miss it in the house, but in the end the territory survived. Just keep waiting in the house with me! What should I do if something happens to you?" Meng Chengzhou's wife Yun Yage couldn't help but persuade.
In her mind, war is a huge killing machine. In the confrontation between two territories, someone will always die. If the person who dies is her husband, what will she do if he is left alone?
"If everyone thinks so, will there be anyone guarding the territory? I have to go." Meng Chengzhou said firmly. Looking at his wife's worried look, he comforted, "If the soldiers in the territory hadn't saved us, we would have been I died at the mouth of Warcraft. After I came to the territory, I made torches and umbrellas successively, 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 cannot be separated from the efforts of every resident, Song of Songs, I hope you support me."
Yun Yage looked at Meng Chengzhou's determined look, thinking about the stability during this period, and finally nodded, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
"I will. Don't worry about it at home. Your heart can't bear it. Wait until I come back." Meng Chengzhou still has confidence in the territory.
Subsequently, Meng Chengzhou left home.
And like him, there are many people who say goodbye to their families and embark on a journey.
**
When Zhou Bai's family arrived at the city gate, they saw countless residents gathered at the scene, and everyone's faces were full of determination.
The soldiers in the territory have also lined up in an orderly manner.
When Zhou Zhengping saw the soldiers, he stepped forward directly to his position.
Compared with other residents, the soldiers are obviously more orderly.
After seeing the soldiers arrive, Bayer directly made arrangements for them, "The archers go up to the city wall, defend their positions according to previous drills, and maneuver against the enemy."
"Yes." A 40-man archer team went up to the city wall. One team was led by Alik and Heidi, and the other team was led by Simmons and Frey. Simmons and Frey were the two NPCs summoned from behind. The same They were archers and magicians, so they directly added 20 soldiers to form an archer team led by them.
As for the two NPCs summoned yesterday, Charlotte and Kirk, they are both swordsmen and mercenaries like Bayer. Bayer also formed them into a team, and also called 20 soldiers to form an infantry team, but Unlike the infantry team he led, which learned about spears, the training of the other group was about actual combat, focusing on individual combat, and the selection was all for strength.
It’s just that the training has just lasted a day, and it has not yet yielded results. After thinking about it, Bayer quickly came up with an idea, “Charlotte, Cork, you also lead the soldiers up the city wall and prepare to throw stones at the attacking team later. "
There is no trebuchet now, so the throwing is done manually.
"Yes." Charlotte and Kirk puffed out their strong chests and nodded without hesitation.
They can do things that can be done with just strength.
After arranging the counterattack on the city wall, Bayer looked at the infantry and shield troops in charge of himself and Dennis, "You go to the city gate to guard it 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 soldiers have been arranged.
Seeing this scene, the residents on the side couldn't help but speak.
"Lord Bayer, what do you think we can do?"
"We can do things too."
"The same goes for guarding the city gate. I'm already at level 8."
"Me too, I'm at level 9."
"..."
Bayer looked at the active crowd and made a quiet gesture. The scene suddenly became quiet, and then he said, "I do have something that I need your help with."
"The stones in the territory need to be cut into stones. 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 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 go to the blacksmith shop and tailor shop to pick them up in time."
"..."
Orders were issued one after another, and the personnel on site began to group into groups according to what they were good at.
One by one, they acted vigorously and obeyed obediently.
Seeing this scene, Bayer couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
The humans in this territory are so irresistibly lovable! So united!
He looked across the crowd and met Zhou Bai, who was already standing in the fighting team, and nodded to her without leaving any trace.
Zhou Bai instantly understood what Bayer meant and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
With an experienced commander, she, as a lord, is too worry-free.
With sufficient preparation this time, even if many places were not used in the end, their territory could still accumulate experience through this territorial war and prepare for the next time.
It was on this basis that she allowed Bayer to mobilize all available resources independently.
And the actions here were not hidden from the eyes of Diana and Harrison, who were watching everything happening here not far away.
Seeing that there were more than three hundred people in the territory, almost three hundred people standing here, they looked a little surprised.
"I heard that the opponent is also a level 1 village. Does a battle in a level 1 village need to be on this scale?" Harrison couldn't help but asked. He was still being driven to work overtime in the past two days and made a lot of bows and arrows with no technical content. Really It's overkill.
"You don't understand." Diana smiled faintly, not intending to explain.
She felt that every battle was so serious, and in the end, no matter what kind of territory they encountered, Hope Village would be able to fight.
Harrison: "..."
**
And just when Hope was making complete preparations, Bawang Village, which launched the challenge from the other side, had also summoned a team of more than 200 people to enter the territory defined.
[Dear host, are you ready to attack Hope Village? 】
"Yes." Ke Gaojie, the lord of Bawang Village, nodded without hesitation.
As the words fell, a bright light shone from the ground where they were standing.
When the light dissipated, they had already entered the territory of Hope Village.
