I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Jin Jingshan looked around but still saw no sign of them.

As for Hudson, who had thought he would take Jin Jingshan down, he watched the rescued Jin Jingshan with utter disbelief in his eyes.

"Who is it? Who exactly is it?" Hudson's voice carried a trace of despair.

He had exchanged himself for Jin Jingshan's brush with death.

He had thought he would succeed, but in the end, he failed.

How could he not go mad?

Regrettably, there was no one around to answer him, only a small squad that took advantage of his injury and diverted attention towards Jin Jingshan to launch a swift surprise attack.

By the time Hudson realized what was happening, his people were captured in an instant.

He could only look at Jin Jingshan unwillingly before being taken away.

Jin Jingshan also came back to his senses, sorted out his emotions, and quickly organized his troops, cleaning up the remaining personnel.

The Barnes Village forces, left on the combat field without the backbone of Hudson, put up a hasty resistance and were decimated, with most of the defiant fighters being dealt with, and a portion directly captured.

When the obstacles were cleared, Jin Jingshan immediately launched a counter-attack.

"Lord, Hudson has been defeated! They've attacked!" Foster called from atop the city wall, his heart lifting as he looked at Viscount Robin.

He, too, had believed Hudson's attack would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, it seemed to have been thwarted mid-way.

Now, he wanted to see if the Lord had any trump cards left.

Without a trump card, Barnes Village was done for.

Viscount Robin glanced at Foster, then at the increasingly imminent army, clenched his teeth, and once again, a Magic Scroll appeared in his hand.

When this Magic Scroll appeared, it unfolded above the skies of Barnes Village territory, and a circular pattern emerged. As it ascended, the pattern grew larger, and from its center, a layer of an invisible protective shield rose, enshrouding the entirety of Barnes Village.

This scene was so fantastically magical that Jin Jingshan and the others could not help but stop in their tracks.

"What is this?" Jin Jingshan asked the Mage beside him.

They were locals, surely knowledgeable of the situation.

"A City Protection Magic Array," one of the Mages explained as he looked at the Array, "It's also a collapsible Array created by a Space Mage. This Array can enhance the defensive power of the territory. Judging by the Level of the Magic Array, there's different increments in strength. If not mistaken, this is an Advanced Magic Array, and the Magic Scroll that had just targeted you, Lord, is very likely from the same Mage."

Reflecting on the situation when he was helpless and immobilized, the Mage felt somewhat afraid.

The higher the Level, the greater the gap between ranks, and the leap from Intermediate Mage to Advanced Mage is a huge divide.

"The price of a Magic Scroll from an Advanced Space Mage isn't low in the market. It's unexpected that the Barnes Village Lord would possess two such items," another Mage commented unbelievably.

After all, Barnes Village was just a village.

These two bold moves were indeed a bit beyond its own capacity.

It was probably the personal "harvest" of the Barnes Village Lord!

"Can we take it down?" Jin Jingshan quickly asked.

This battle's turn of events had completely shattered his prior arrogance.

He had thought that with his higher Level and Barnes Village having lost so many personnel, taking down Barnes Village should have been a piece of cake.

But while he had accounted for the capacity of Barnes Village, he had underestimated the strength of the Barnes Village Lord.

Indeed, one should never underestimate the people who could become Lords in this world.

Luckily, someone had saved him.

At this moment, he no longer cared about who had saved him, as things had progressed to this point, he naturally hoped to continue the assault and successfully take down Barnes Village, to not make his previous boasts in vain.

"Even an Advanced Magic Array has its limits in power. With sufficient force, it can be breached," the Mage explained, "If the Lord uses all the siege weapons at his disposal, there's a good chance of success, though it may take a considerably long time."

He had some confidence in the strength of Ningshan Village, and in terms of combat power, Ningshan Village was indeed strong. Combined with their thorough preparation this time, the hope was greatly amplified.

He just didn't plan to be too absolute in his statements.

Hearing the Mage's words, Jin Jingshan felt a slight relief in his heart.
