Glasgow Village.
Today marked the end of the truce period for Hope Village; there’s still no movent?
Viscount Lancelot looked at the information on the territory rankings, his eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.
He was aware that Hope Village had been targeted by an aggressive territory.
However, in his opinion, if Hope Village could withstand the first attack, it would be able to withstand a second, so he wasn’t worried about the village’s predicant.
What he hadn’t expected was that this ti, it seed the aggressive territory was the one that had gotten cold feet.
No, perhaps the aggressive territory planned to reap Hope Village later.
But that idea was probably no longer viable.
As the relationship between Glasgow Village and Hope Village grew closer, Viscount Lancelot, during his visits to Hope Village, discovered nurous issues.
The items Hope Village sold externally were mostly food resources; they rarely sold equipnt and weapons. Even when they did, it seed they were mostly orange equipnt and Silver Weapons which were phased out by Hope Village.
Moreover, resources such as Iron Ore, various interdiate cloths, and other materials were seldom sold by Hope Village. Instead, they were heavily purchased, flowing into the Blacksmith Shop and tailor shop of Hope Village.
Having observed these shops, he noted that the equipnt and weapons sold were primarily targeted at Hope Village Residents and the quantities were relatively small, ill-matched with the volu of resources purchased.
What did this an? It ant Hope Village was stockpiling a significant amount of equipnt and weapon materials. If they weren’t producing anything, it was simply hoarding. However, the textile Factory, Advanced Alchemy Workshop, and Military Factory of Hope Village were continuously hiring more staff.
Looking at this, it was very possible that these equipnt and weapon materials had been transford into actual equipnt and weapons, yet they hadn’t entered the market; instead, they had been added to military reserves.
After completing his analysis, Viscount Lancelot’s expression stilled; if he wasn’t mistaken, Hope Village’s strength was probably stronger than what it had shown.
Naturally, they were already strong on the surface, and with the village gaining a sowhat significant reputation in village-level territory circles, that’s why no territory dared challenge Hope Village in this Territory War.
Under such circumstances, could Hope Village make the first move?
Viscount Lancelot actually wanted to see Hope Village take the offensive. They had bared their fangs against Barnes Village last ti, albeit from the shadows. This ti, if Hope Village made a move, he would be able to witness their true capabilities.
Just as Viscount Lancelot was pondering over this, he suddenly saw on the territory rankings that the Hope Village icon had lit up instantaneously.
Viscount Lancelot’s eyes brightened.
Hope Village had initiated a Territory War, and they were the challengers.
He looked at the territory being challenged by Hope Village, and Viscount Lancelot’s gaze revealed a hint of surprise.
It was Fasal Village.
Was this Hope Village’s revenge battle? He looked forward to their victorious return.

Bengala Town.
"Lord, the Territory War of Hope Village has comnced, and no other territory has chosen to confront them as of yet," Simmons reported to Earl Orkot. "Many territories of the sa Level as Hope Village have ended their truce periods, but they’ve unanimously foregone the option to challenge Hope Village."
Unbeknownst to them, Hope Village had beco an entity in Level 3 villages that could not be ignored, which genuinely surprised Simmons.
The growth rate of the enemy was truly rapid; when he first heard of Hope Village, it was only a Level 2 village, which he didn’t take seriously at all. Now, it had evolved into an existence capable of catching up with Bengala Town.
In addition to being surprised, deep down Simmons was actually panicking.
Listening to Simmons’ words, Earl Orkot pursed his lips. Simmons had noticed what he had noticed, especially with the recent news of the Village Chief of Hope Village courting favor with the Dragon Clan making him feel obscurely uneasy.
While thinking this, Orkot’s face remained impassive as he said directly, "It also ans that the entity behind Fasal Village is planning to fatten up Hope Village, intending to strike only after Hope Village advances to a town."
But... could that really be successful?
Simmons thought quietly to himself but dared not speak out loud to burst this bubble.
After all, Hope Village had grown to the point where even Bengala Town couldn’t suppress it.
Now, more than fifty percent of the rchant teams coming to Bengala Town were passing through Hope Village, as it was accessible to all villages below Level 3. Many rchant teams took this shortcut through Hope Village, saving them a great deal of trouble.
