After their discussion, they felt even more exhausted.
Jealousy and envy!
And these rumors had in fact reached the ears of Wolf and Nicholas. Nicholas carefully glanced at Wolf’s expression and, seeing his calm deanor, for so reason, his heart skipped a beat.
He had a feeling that this was the calm before the storm for his Lord.
What on earth was the Lord thinking?
But to be honest, looking at the state of Hope Village’s soldiers, he also felt a tinge of envy.
Adequate equipnt ant a better chance of survival.
And considering the value of these equipnt, Hope Village was really generous!
Thinking of the rumors he heard from the residents while placing the Black Stone, waves of emotions stirred in the depths of Nicholas’s heart.
In contrast to the helplessness of Fasal Village’s soldiers, those from Hope Village were getting more and more excited as they fought.
They understood one principle very well, to press the advantage.
While Fasal Village was at a disadvantage, they pushed their attack to the limit, surely putting pressure on Fasal Village.
Aside from their strategic advantage, what gave them the most confidence was their powerful equipnt and weapons.
They had thought that the Golden Weapons and Purple Equipnt given by Hope Village were enough to maintain a relative advantage in combat, yet they hadn’t expected Hope Village to have secretly prepared so many siege weapons.
Especially the gigantic war carriages, which were making their first appearance, and had left many soldiers in awe.
And the quantity of catapults and Crossbow Carriages was far beyond their imagination.
"Is this really Hope Village’s first external warfare? I feel like we’re extraordinarily well-prepared. My previous territory is nothing compared to Hope Village."
"This battle really feels like we’re playing with a strong tailwind."
"I was really scared I might easily fall on the battlefield! But now I think I should be able to return ho to my parents."
"This is the first ti I’ve felt so confident participating in a Territory War."
"..."
The speaking soldiers had just joined Hope Village’s forces, all of them local residents. So had wandered across many territories, and thus their feelings were especially profound. They had been surprised enough by the Golden Weapons and Purple Equipnt received before coming, but more surprises awaited them.
"You’ll get used to it in the future."
"Our territory values people the most."
"As for money, we can always earn more."
"And, not just you, even we are seeing these secret weapons for the first ti! Because in the previous three instances, we were the challenged party, fighting within our own territory! The risk of danger was smaller, and if there really was danger, we’d have Doctors and Pharmacists wholeheartedly ensuring our safety."
"Being a soldier in Hope Village, you really don’t have to worry about being treated as cannon fodder by the territory."
"But even so, we must still be careful and give it our all, otherwise, when the battle is over and we tally up the Contribution Value, it would be embarrassing to have too low a score."
"We won’t let that happen, we’ll work hard."
"..."
After a brief exchange, the soldiers’ combat beca even more vigorous; the only thing on everyone’s mind was one word: combat.
And then they worked hard to take down Fasal Village.
This state of mind also gradually influenced the rcenary Groups behind them.
It could be said that the rcenary Teams played a role in this siege, but it was completely different from what they had expected before coming.
They only needed to occasionally block the arrows and boulders from above, sotis catch injured Soldiers, and sotis reinforce the weaker defenses.
Although it was quite busy, there was a feeling of ease.
Yes, ease, when they were out hunting in the wild, they would sotis intentionally provoke a small Beast Tide to increase their team’s harvest. It could be said that they made a living on the edge of the knife.
They were gradually getting used to this rhythm.
This ti, they signed up to participate in Hope Village’s Territory War for two reasons: one was for the high returns, and the other was to make a good impression in the new territory.
As it turned out, participating now was even less effortful than hunting Demon Beasts.
"Hope Village is really pretty good," the captain of the Frost rcenary Team, Maimaiti, once again spoke to Lucian of the Phantom rcenary Team from the rear of the formation.
"Mm." Lucian nodded, affirming this point.
A statent like that was enough; Maimaiti imdiately switched topics, "Do you think Hope Village will be able to take over Fasal Village this ti?"
The situation had, in fact, beco quite clear now.
In this Territory War, Hope Village was sure to win. The only two possible outcos were either Fasal Village holding on in the end, with Hope Village winning and leaving, or Fasal Village being conquered by Hope Village, permanently becoming part of it.
As mbers of Hope Village, they naturally hoped for the latter.
However, there was still a long ti until the end, and anything could happen.
"Fasal Village’s Lord won’t just surrender without a fight. He’s bound to do sothing," Lucian analyzed logically. "Fasal Village itself is an aggressive territory, and they have their own supporters. In any case, even if the situation is favorable for Hope Village, they shouldn’t be underestimated."
Lucian thought more deeply.
Especially since Fasal Village and Hope Village had old feuds, Fasal Village’s resistance might prove to be even more fierce.
Right now, the two sides were in a tug-of-war, just not openly.
"That’s true, who knows what kind of trump card they might be hiding? We should be more cautious," Maimaiti said, his gaze landing on Pavel, who was fighting vigorously on the front lines.
Initially, Pavel had been following them from behind, but his proactive nature in Combat soon gave him an opportunity arranged by Major Alik of their soldier team to be sent to the front lines. Presumably, after this was over, his Contribution Value should be substantial.
Already having a solid foundation and strong capabilities, he felt Pavel would be able to rise up the ranks quickly.
"If you want to take a different path, joining the soldier team is a good option. The promotion system in the territory is quite fair," Lucian suggested, noticing the look of envy in Maimaiti’s eyes.
Maimaiti listened but shook his head, "I’m used to being a rcenary; I’d rather stay that way. I like having more freedom."
"Being a rcenary in Hope Village isn’t bad either. Look at Zhong Yongnian, Yun Juncai, and others; their status in Hope Village isn’t low, and the territory seeks their opinion on important matters," Lucian shared his thoughts.
"But they rely on the territory’s business and cooperation with factories. Not to ntion that we ca late, but even looking at what we have, there doesn’t seem to be any industry we can develop. Sticking to the mission route, I’m afraid it won’t last long," Maimaiti considered the developnt of his own rcenary Team during his days in Hope Village and naturally got to know the situation there.
After investigation, he found that their presence in Hope Village was entirely replaceable because they lacked a core function.
Lucian, while listening, flickered a glance and then said, "I’ve actually found a point of developnt."
"What is it?" Maimaiti asked subconsciously, and after realizing what he had said, he quickly added, "No need to tell ; it’s your own idea."
"It’s fine. This idea would be better executed cooperatively between the two of us, but now isn’t the best ti to discuss it in detail. Shall we talk when we get back?" Lucian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Maimaiti’s eyes brightened, and he promptly agreed, "Sure."
It was at this mont that, with sharp eyes, the two noticed a small squad from Fasal Village flanking their right side, clearly moving to strike at them.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes subtly moving.
Fasal Village was on the move again.
This also ant that their opportunity for heroism had co.
