59 -044: Bottom Line Must Not Be Lost_2
“What’s wrong?
Is there a problem over there?” the Tiger-headed Man O’Neill asked.
“I just thought I sensed a faint magic fluctuation, but maybe it was just my imagination,” the Kobold Lucas pondered for a moment but still felt he was mistaken.
The residents of a Level 1 village shouldn’t likely have a Mage, and even if one did appear, it wouldn’t escape his perception.
“It must be your imagination, I didn’t feel anything,” the Tiger-headed Man O’Neill confidently asserted, then turned to the dazed Bull-man and Pigman beside him, “What about you?”
The Bull-man Fred and the Pigman Mali shook their heads, saying in unison, “Nothing.”
Looking at them, disdain flashed in the eyes of the Tiger-headed Man O’Neill.
There was a hierarchy of scorn among the Beastman race, with the Bull-men having nothing but brute strength, and Pigmen knew only to eat, generally being the foremost pioneers in charging into battle.
However, he thought it wasn’t bad having them around, since they would take the lead on tasks, while he could enjoy the benefits from behind.
Thinking of this, the Tiger-headed Man O’Neill began to count the Gold Coins in his account again.
Making money from this Human Territory was so easy!
It would be great if he could summon more Tiger-headed Men later.
The scene on this side quieted down again, and as everyone was pondering how to launch the night-time raid, Heidi and Muer had already returned to Hope Village.
Upon seeing the two arrive, all eyes swiftly turned to them.
“How is it?” Bayer was the first to speak up.
“There are about two hundred or so people, all above Level 7, and there are four Beastmen: Kobold, Tiger-headed Man, Bull-man, and Pigman.
The Kobold’s abilities are special, and they should be able to estimate our population.
Coupled with the deterrence of the city walls, they dare not act rashly, so they plan to gather resources and hunt Demon Beasts in the Cloud Mist Forest first.
But they didn’t expect that our territory’s residents have almost cleared the area.”
As Heidi spoke, Bayer’s gaze surreptitiously flicked towards Zhou Bai.
He knew that right after midnight, as soon as it was confirmed that their territory would no longer have continuous rain, their Lord immediately issued a night-time mission, claiming it was to train the teams’ ability to maneuver in the dark.
As a result, many teams bought Anti-black suits and started their night-time hunting tasks.
Their soldier team also joined in the clearing, taking it as training.
Previously, he really thought that Lord Zhou Bai wanted to train the nighttime capabilities of the residents within the territory, especially since many confrontations in the Territory War actually happen at night.

But now, he thought differently!
He had the feeling that this was clearly Zhou Bai not wanting to let other territories shear the wool of Hope Village.
Truly “stingy”!
But…
he liked it.
At this time, Bayer truly relished the moment when the other side’s hopes were dashed.
Zhou Bai caught Bayer’s almost imperceptible gaze and remained composed.
Those were the resources of the territory.
How could she give others even a chance?
Not even the slightest possibility was allowed.
In short, she had done the right thing.
It was another day of protecting the territory’s assets.
After Heidi finished sharing about that, she continued with Ke Gaojie’s subsequent scheming.
As the plan was laid out, those listening, including Li Xingteng and Zhou Zhengping, couldn’t help but become angry.
“Isn’t the Lord of Overlord Village too disgusting?”
“What do the residents even mean to him?”
“That’s inhuman!”
“We’re all Humans; how could he do this?”
“…”
The residents of Hope Village were seething with anger.
Bayer and the other NPCs were quite accustomed to it.
Watching everyone’s righteous indignation, he said coldly, “On the Stan Continent, within the territories, this is too common.
If sacrificing a few can secure victory, many Lords are willing to do so, even already doing so!”
Even he and Heidi became ghosts because they were forced to be sacrificed in the disputes between territories.
Only Humans like them would be so angry.
He had thought these suddenly appearing Humans were so innocent due to living in peace before, but now it seemed they were the exception, and with time, they would also be assimilated by reality.
Zhou Bai, in the crowd, listened to Bayer’s words and saw the NPCs’ faces showing the same old routine.
She directly spoke up, “Just because others do it, doesn’t mean we have to do the same.
Territory War involves sacrifices, which we accept, but sending people to die intentionally for victory is something we do not accept!”
Even if the arrival of the Doomsday Game world changed the ways of the world and the rules of survival, and she had learned to struggle hard, some fundamental principles must not be lost no matter what.
“Right, we don’t accept it.
War can be waged with strategy, but not with conspiracies and tricks,” Zhou Zhengping also agreed, glancing at Zhou Bai with approval in his eyes.
“That’s right.
Sending people off to die intentionally, such a territory won’t last long.”
“If we knew the territory treated us like this, such a territory wouldn’t be worth serving.”
“To battle honorably, even if we die, it’s because we were outmatched.
But if it’s intentional, I would die with unresolved grievances.”
“…”
One after another, dissenting voices rang out at the scene.
At this moment, the hearts of Bayer and a few of the NPCs were touched.
Although the residents of Hope Village were very weak and had various small flaws, at the same time, most of them possessed something different from the Humans of this world: kindness and principles…
What concerned Bayer and the others even more was Zhou Bai, the Lord.
They hadn’t forgotten that it was Zhou Bai who was the first to jump out, not only opposing but also warning them not to use the same methods as Ke Gaojie.
He had been wrong; perhaps it wasn’t an exception but rather because the Lord leading this territory was special, preserving that uniqueness.
Bayer internally took a deep breath and spoke earnestly, “Even if other territories are doing it, our territory won’t do that!”
He had a premonition that if this territory could develop so openly, it would become an unignorable force on the Stan Continent in the future.
Because goodness is always desirable.
