I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Once a territory had no resistance left, its extinction was not far off.

Barnes Village was facing just such a situation.

Even using two high-level magic scrolls failed to stop the advance of Ningshan Village, what made them think relying on over a thousand remaining people could drive out the "invaders" from Barnes Village.

At that moment, the soldiers and professionals originally resisting on the city walls couldn't help but pause their actions.

They were uncertain if continuing this way would get them directly killed by Barnes Village.

Surrender without killing, do not become slaves.

As soon as this slogan was shouted, their inner resistance seemed to weaken significantly.

However, though they were thinking this, it didn't show on their faces. Instead, they untraceably looked towards Viscount Robin.

"Lord, they've... entered," Foster said, with a bit of a struggle in his voice.

He really hadn't expected Barnes Village's defeat to come so quickly.

There were still two hours left until the end of the Territory War.

Just two hours!

If only the territory had a bit more manpower, it wouldn't have come to this!

Upon hearing the voice, Viscount Robin suddenly snapped back to reality, looked at Foster's uneasy demeanor, and scoffed, "So what if they've entered, can we counterattack? Does anyone wish to counterattack?"

He knew very well that most of the people were unwilling because they did not want to sacrifice needlessly, not to mention that long before, the people within the territory were unstable.

The departure of some gave the remaining courage to surrender.

He now looked back on his previous actions, and all that remained in his mind were two words: regret.

Regret for initially treating Hope Village as an adversary.

Regret for initially overlooking Hope Village.

Regret for foolishly wanting to unite the surrounding forces to annex Hope Village and bringing about this calamity, or rather, even with that intention, he shouldn't have let others know, turning Hope Village's "plunder" into a justified act, leaving him with no appeal, only to watch his base destroyed in the blink of an eye.

...

Foster listened and also fell speechless.

If one could live, who would choose to die?

During the silence of the two, the soldiers from Ningshan Village streamed into Barnes Village.

Yet, just as their shouted slogan upon entry, they did not damage any personnel after invading the territory, whether residents, professionals, or soldiers.

This action significantly weakened the resistance across the territory.

Especially those still on the city walls, the soldiers, and professionals.

Because there were also many soldiers who came up holding weapons, but their first choice was to aim their weapons at them, instead of attacking directly.

This move was already enough to demonstrate their attitude, considering they outnumbered and mostly consisted of professionals, dealing with most of them was a matter of minutes.

Suppose it wasn't for Viscount Robin, the Lord, being on the scene, likely many would have directly thrown down their weapons and surrendered.

At that moment, all eyes were trained on the entrance of the city wall.

Amidst the attention of the masses, Jin Jingshan's figure appeared on top of the city wall.

The moment he appeared, Viscount Robin's hand involuntarily twitched.

He considered if he could use this opportunity to eliminate Jin Jingshan.

But after his gaze lingered on Jin Jingshan and the surroundings, Viscount Robin gave up the idea.

He thought, doing so would only make the relationships between both parties worse, he cannot kill him.

But at that moment, Viscount Robin still wanted to struggle.

He immediately said, "Hope Village promised you something. I'll give you more as long as you're willing... to spare me..."

Jin Jingshan unexpectedly hearing this, couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment. After coming to his senses, he shook his head, "No matter the condition, I won't accept. This involves our territory's integrity issue. Once I agree to you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive in our circle."

Sometimes, rules are established through convention.

In this unfamiliar Otherworld, they appear particularly precious.

Listening, Viscount Robin's expression turned a bit complex, and finally, he pursed his lips and said, "What will you do to me? Kill me?"

Only by killing him, the Lord, could Barnes Village genuinely belong to Ningshan Village, and take over all of Ningshan Village's assets.

Most Lords would do this to eliminate any future threats.
