I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Hudson's team organization hadn't escaped Jin Jingshan's notice.

At the first moment, Jin Jingshan had sensed something amiss.

After all, being pressured by them in battle, suffering many casualties, and starting off on the wrong foot, the first consideration should have been how to cope with the upcoming combat situation, not to launch a second round of attacks in a short time.

Thus, their attack definitely had a purpose.

He needed to be cautious.

With that thought, Jin Jingshan silently opened his backpack, then added quite a bit of equipment to himself, including rings on each of his ten fingers, bracelets on both hands, wrist bands... all were tiny pieces.

These pieces of equipment all had defensive enhancements and effects to weaken the attack power.

When going out to fight, one's own safety is most important.

He was not only the core of this team, but also the core of Ningshan Village; he had to cherish his own life.

The two mages at Jin Jingshan's side were somewhat stunned by his all-around protection.

Can he do that?

Silver Equipment was basically obsolete for Intermediate Professionals because there were better Gold Equipment.

After all, you can't wear two of the same equipment.

But no one had thought about trifling with ring equipment, ten silver rings' attributes stacked together could definitely be stronger than a single gold ring, not to mention ten gold rings.

Although it looked a bit unsightly and could easily become the butt of jokes, wasn't it useful?

Compared to reputation, life was naturally more important.

Besides rings, there were other items they really didn't know about, like wearing a bracelet and then wrapping a cloth over it? What was the principle behind that? They had never heard of such a thing before.

As they thought this, the two mages' eyes couldn't stop circling over Jin Jingshan's body.

Of course, they wanted to equip themselves immediately, but they found that they had basically used up all the silver-type weapons and equipment, and it wasn't possible to carry rings with them to battle!

Perhaps because their gaze was too intense, Jin Jingshan noticed it right away.

Seeing their eager eyes, Jin Jingshan casually handed them several silver rings, "Put these on. "

"How did the Lord prepare so many?"

"Waiting to replace them after the rings are discarded, I prepared quite a few," Jin Jingshan calmly said. As a lord, he naturally didn't lack money, but in order to make the territory's soldiers and professionals devoted to him, he had to be a leader in many battles, naturally paying more attention to his own life safety apart from increasing his personal strength, so he would not miss out on external things.

Besides other things, just take the defensive rings, he had hundreds of them crafted to be replaced in usage.

After all, rings are small and are defense-type; once damaged, they are mostly irreparable and considered disposable.

He was waiting for this batch to be nearly used up before switching to gold rings.

Of course, he would use them on crucial battlefields.

"Thank you, Lord," the two mages responded eagerly as they listened.

As they put them on themselves, they subconsciously searched their backpacks and gathered some equipment they had previously considered a burden onto themselves.

After equipping themselves, they subconsciously looked at some of the soldiers around and were surprised to find that these soldiers had quite a few rings and other accessories!

The reason they accepted employment and became Jin Jingshan's personal guards was because Ningshan Village offered them good treatment and respected them in previous missions, and they would not wholeheartedly follow Jin Jingshan as a lord otherwise.

Respect for life!

They liked this kind of territory, this kind of lord!

After reminiscing, the two mages looked forward at the organized team and became more serious.

He must watch every movement on the battlefield attentively, not allowing any danger to get close to the Lord.

After making thorough preparations, Jin Jingshan continued to closely watch Hudson's movements.

At that moment, someone quickly moved up to Jin Jingshan's ear and warned, "This attack is a ploy, please be extra careful, Lord. The enemy's likely target is you."

"What did they say?" Jin Jingshan asked.

"From their troop deployment, we can tell that the enemy only wants to wear down our forces, slowing our attack pace. Thus, their engagement in this Territory War is definitely defensive-based. And on this basis, after suffering a huge loss, they launched a second attack shortly after, aiming most probably at you, Lord. Without you, we would not be a significant threat to them. Moreover, they certainly have special lethal weapons."

"Is there any other information?"

"Yes! We speculate that Barnes Village still has a trump card, but we are not quite clear what it is."

"Understood," Jin Jingshan nodded, "let them continue to observe and report to me at any time."

It seemed his staff team was somewhat useful.

Thoughtful far beyond him.

"Yes."

The reporter quickly retreated.

The two mages, having heard their conversation, became even more concerned, their mounts subconsciously moved forward, passing Jin Jingshan.

Seeing their actions, Jin Jingshan calmly smiled but said nothing. Then, his eyes blazing, he watched Hudson coming toward him waving his flag, and unhesitatingly commanded, "Attack!"

We have to force their trump card.

Without a trump card, Barnes Village is truly a doomed place.

Along with Jin Jingshan's command, the Shield Soldiers acting as the vanguard team advanced forward in cooperation with the Spear Soldiers, with the entire army following behind them. The ground shook with the movement of the large troop.

Arrows crisscrossed the sky.

In no time, Hudson's team clashed head-on with Jin Jingshan's team.

Without any hesitation, the two sides collided.

The next moment, the sound of fierce combat echoed through the ranks.

Jin Jingshan changed the formation once again.

The Shield Soldier Team switched from defense to offense, coordinating their attack with the Spear Soldier Team into the enemy's ranks.

The two teams quickly became intertwined.

The Bowman Team also broke formation, starting to attack individually.

Among them, the Cavalry Team was the most ferocious, a collision of flesh against flesh.

The battlefield was a meat grinder.

People from both sides continually fell.

However, the soldiers from Barnes Village fell at a noticeably faster rate; often, they received no reinforcements.

But Ningshan Village's team was different; their formation resembled a polygon.

The situation became clearer as time passed.

Hudson kept leading his small squad in resistance and fought more intensively.

Fighting frantically, who cared where they were anymore?

Thus, Hudson's penetration was relatively smooth.

Finally, after dealing with a blocking squad, Hudson quickly scanned the battlefield and his gaze settled on Jin Jingshan within a very short period of time.

Jin Jingshan noticed this and instinctively pulled away from Hudson.

As they locked eyes in that moment,

it was brief—other squads immediately intercepted Hudson, preventing him from approaching Jin Jingshan.

Hudson naturally led his team into combat, even turning his back towards Jin Jingshan due to the fight.

Jin Jingshan felt a bit relieved.

But sometimes, change occurred in an instant.

When an attack hit Hudson, he did not block it and took the blow head-on.

After falling to the ground, he suddenly threw a magic scroll which then unfolded in midair.

It burst into a brilliant gleam of light.

This glow directly targeted Jin Jingshan.

When the light faded, a powerful oppressive force spread out from the magic scroll.

Advanced professionals!

Everyone present sensed the source of this power immediately.

In this moment, not only Hudson, but also Viscount Robin on the city wall couldn't help but clench his fists.

Victory or defeat was at stake here.

Before the light could even fade, a magical fluctuation shot out from the light, presenting an extremely bright red beam.

The moment the red beam shot out, everyone in its path became immobilized.

Especially Jin Jingshan, who was targeted.

He felt death approaching.

He exerted all his strength to resist, but his immobilized body seemed to tell him that his struggle was futile.

Thus, Jin Jingshan watched helplessly as the red beam drew closer and closer to him.

At the same time, he heard a faint chant.

"Life-taking Curse!"

At that moment, Jin Jingshan understood a lesson.

In the face of absolute power, some preparations are almost in vain.

This time, he was about to be capsized in the gutter!

Jin Jingshan had already closed his eyes to await death.

However, after having his eyes closed for a while, Jin Jingshan had yet to feel any force hit him.

He instinctively opened his eyes.

The moment he did, he found an invisible protective shield in front of him.

Someone had saved him, but who???
