I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Zhong Yongnian, who had betrayed his trust, was also eliminated.

The audacity of them to fool him on his own turf.

If given the chance, he wouldn't let them go.

"Go investigate!" Viscount Robin gritted his teeth as he recalled.

"Yes," Foster replied immediately, but looking at the noisy crowd, he couldn't help but add, "For now, Lord Viscount, it's best to calm the people down!"

"...Hmm." Viscount Robin's face darkened as he pondered this in his heart.

After a moment, he once again signaled for everyone to stop.

Instantly, silence fell upon the scene again.

But this surface calm did not mean their emotions were also at peace.

They were prepared to listen to the explanation from the Lord.

"Barnes Village currently lacks military strength, but that doesn't mean we will be insufficient in the Territory War. I have already requested assistance from a few trusted friends who will try to send aid before the war begins. Moreover, I have another backup plan. I have sent a team to a Level 2 village to invite professionals to Barnes Village. If all goes well, they should return either today or tomorrow. With these reinforcements and everyone's collective effort, I am confident about successfully enduring this Territory War," explained Viscount Robin.

This was the best reason he could think of at the moment.

The first point was his plan, while the second was indeed what was currently being done in his territory.

Hudson had become his last hope now.

He believed that if Hudson could bring some people back, there was a very high chance of saving Barnes Village.

"We just need a real number; how many in the Barnes Village soldier team are left?"

Regrettably, Viscount Robin was entirely unaware of the power brought by the term "bankruptcy of trust." In general, some professionals below no longer believed in him, or perhaps they no longer believed that Barnes Village could survive this crisis.

With so many preparations made, how could they easily let Barnes Village go.

Rather than staying in Barnes Village and potentially paying with their lives, it was better to leave immediately and cut losses.

No matter how deep the affection, looking at the present Barnes Village, it had already been worn away.

Of course, asking this question also represented some hidden thoughts deep in the hearts of some.

These thoughts now depended purely on Viscount Robin's actions.

But in reality, Viscount Robin's face darkened instantly because of this question.

For some reason, he felt a surge of anger welling up from deep within.

The emotions he had been suppressing no longer wished to be contained.

"You have ulterior motives, you must have been bribed by the people of Hope Village, seize them," he ordered.

As soon as Viscount Robin finished speaking, the soldiers nearby acted immediately.

This had almost become their instinctive reaction.

Thus, they quickly moved towards the group that had just spoken.

One of the captains of the mercenary team had already been locked in Viscount Robin's gaze.

Clearly, he intended to make an example out of him.

Their actions were too abrupt, leaving Foster nearby unable to react in time.

By the time he did, he sighed in his heart.

It's over!

The Lord had acted up to this point, why didn't he continue acting at the critical moment?

Now all their efforts had... fallen short.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have mentioned Hope Village just now.

Upon facing Hope Village, their Lord lost all reason.

Indeed, the scene got chaotic again because of Viscount Robin's words.

"I really shouldn't have had any hopes for you, Lord. Everything just now was an act."

"If you could continue being sincere and reveal the exact numbers to us, no matter what, we would consider our shared history with this territory."

"Barnes Village is doomed."

"The biggest mistake of Barnes Village isn't anything else, but having you as our Lord."

"Why does the Lord of Glasgow Village get along so well with Hope Village? Even though some have gone to Hope Village, they learn from Hope Village's strengths and strive to retain their people. But what about you, Lord? For your own selfish desires, you trap us within this small territory. You never learn to reflect on yourself, no! You have reflected now, but it's just a blatant show, truly disgusting."
