Chapter 324: Barnes Village Corner-Prying Tour [2] _3
"Regarding the new territory, isn't there also a Yuxi Village? That's also a Level 2 village. Would it be feasible to recruit people from there?" Viscount Robin had become a bit addicted to poaching at this point and had instantly set his sights on Yuxi Village.
Thinking of Yuxi Village, Hudson paused, then finally spoke with an indescribable expression, "Yuxi Village is just like Hope Village. Although its development isn't as fast, it's all quite stable."
Who could understand his feelings at that time?
If not for a few differences in layout, he would have thought he had gone to Hope Village.
How could such an astute territory compete with Hope Village?
That's why he didn't stay long before heading straight off.
"If Yuxi Village isn't viable, are there any other Level 2 villages?"
"There's another, Guangshui Village, but..." As Hudson spoke, he found himself at a loss for words.
Because this territory... it wasn't normal.
"But what?"
"Even though it's a Level 2 village, there aren't many people there," Hudson said helplessly.
"What do you mean, 'not many people'?"
"The Lord of Guangshui Village runs the territory as if it were an estate. Apart from the basic buildings that cater to necessities like food, shelter, and clothing, the rest are farmland, orchards, ponds, etc. Their residents all work in the fields, abiding by the principle of working from dawn till dusk. I feel the entire territory holds little value... What's their motto... 'Chosen Farmer'?" Hudson said with a complex expression.
It was his first time seeing such a territory, a total waste of a spot.
Viscount Robin: "...How did such a territory manage to promote to a Level 2 village?"
"They used grain, fruits, and such, hiring mercenary teams from other territories. Just how strong can a Level 2 Magic Beast Tide be? It's easy pickings, and there were quite a few mercenary teams willing to help. At first, our territory had mercenary teams that helped them out there, and I only discovered this after I returned. After their promotion to a Level 2 village, it seems they have no plans for further promotion. Their residents told me that in their last Territory War, they faced a Level 3 village. As soon as they reached the gates, Guangshui Village surrendered, and the offerings they showed were not worth much. The Territory Lord didn't even bother occupying it, just left with the meager spoils of war..." Hudson explained with a speechless demeanor.
"These suddenly arising new territories are truly... each with its unique characteristics." Viscount Robin's mouth twitched as he listened.
All these new territories that emerged in their little area were each different, and one could only wonder about other regions!
He guessed every area must be facing the baptism of these new territories!
He really wanted to find out what new kinds of territories were out there...
The thought flashed by, and Viscount Robin quickly suppressed it.
He hadn't even managed to deal with the few in his immediate area, and he'd almost been done in by them. Why bother with the ones outside!
His primary focus was Hope Village.
Defeating Hope Village! Then he could leave this region and step onto a broader stage.
At that moment, Viscount Robin's heart was brimming with hope.
Listening to Viscount Robin, Hudson nodded in agreement in his heart.
These new territories and the residents that came with them truly didn't fit in with the creatures of the Stan Continent. Even though they were all humans, he couldn't understand what they were thinking.
But no matter what, he just needed to do his job in Barnes Village. He would leave the rest for their Lord to worry about.
Right after, Hudson hurriedly set about the task Viscount Robin had given him.
After leaving, he immediately took his team and departed from Barnes Village.
In his view, recruiting people from Qinghe Village would be a piece of cake. Since it was so easy, naturally, he wanted to bring them back before the Territory War to either strengthen the territory's power or have people to serve as cannon fodder.
With this in mind, he acted swiftly.
As a result, he missed the last chance to change the fate of Barnes Village.
By the time he returned, all was settled.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yongnian, who had left Viscount Robin's estate, gave a subtle smile after confirming the other residents from Hope Village had not been shooed away, upon selecting a store. He then wholeheartedly threw himself into the opening of the store.
He had already paved the way for the others; the rest of their journey was up to them.
Now, he was starting on his own second step!
