At the moment he saw it, Zhou Bai’s eyes instantly lit up. [Item: Arrow Tower Blueprint] [Introduction: An offensive building design that can carry out large-scale attacks, the higher the level, the larger the attack range.] [Note: Can be reused] Speaking of which, up to now, the defense of Hope Village had mostly relied on the defensive power of the walls themselves, and besides that, only the Crossbow Carriages obtained from other territories. After all, Crossbow Carriages belonged to large weapons, and although they had strong lethality, they could mainly target only the enemy’s main forces and could not achieve widespread attacks. But the Arrow Tower was different. With the Arrow Tower, Hope Village could turn defense into offense, boosting the overall defensive power of the territory. Although the consumption had been significant, the current Hope Village didn’t really lack money. Even when there wasn’t that much money, she had been willing to spend money for the safety of Hope Village, not to mention now when the income was continuous. With a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, Zhou Bai said to Hashim, "The blueprint is very useful, thanks." Hashim, "..." —Then what? That’s it? Seeing the secretly expectant look in Hashim’s eyes, Zhou Bai suddenly realized and then gave him 5 gold coins, "This is the compensation for the architectural drawing; as for the rest, you’ve violated the territorial rules in Hope Village, and we have to follow the rules here. I can’t do anything about it, but rest assured, you only attempted robbery, so the punishment won’t be especially severe." Hashim, "..." —Holy heck, rest assured. Hashim looked at the 5 gold coins in his hand; this amount of gold was high compared to the actual value of the architectural drawing, but he didn’t need this now! What he needed was freedom! "I still have..." Hashim continued to struggle. He had a feeling that the punishment Zhou Bai mentioned might be something he didn’t want. "If you have any more building designs to offer, I welcome you to continue trading with me," Zhou Bai directly said, emphasizing the word "exchange." It was clear that no matter what Hashim provided, the attitude from Hope Village would not change. Realizing this, Hashim’s lips moved slightly, and finally, he calmed down. Each territory has its own rules, and they’d been caught after all! Seeing this, Zhou Bai directly told O’Neill, "Keep going with them! Find Bayer, he will know what to do!" These days, due to the influx of outsiders, the territory had been a little unrestful. It was a good time to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Hashim and his group happened to become the "chicken" that their territory needed now, and she believed that Bayer would not miss this opportunity. "Okay," O’Neill said, summoning the Beastman Warriors and taking Hashim and his group away. Andres, witnessing the scene, tensed up unconsciously. Seeming to notice his tension, Zhou Bai looked toward their group. "Village Chief, we are a Mercenary Team from Guayavare Village," Andres put on his best demeanor. "Welcome to Hope Village, I hope you have a good time," Zhou Bai nodded slightly in greeting. "Thank you," Andres was genuinely surprised by Zhou Bai’s friendly demeanor. He could tell that Zhou Bai did not have the aloof attitude of those in high positions. It must be said that such an attitude was really quite comforting. Harsh to the malicious, kind to the well-meaning. Hope Village might indeed be an intriguing place, even more splendid than what others described. He was truly curious now. Looking at Quan Ziqiang and the goblins beside him, then at Hashim and others being led away, Andres tactfully said, "We won’t disturb you any further; we will take our leave." He had always followed just to see what would become of Hashim and the others. Now that they had left, he indeed had no need to stay. It was better not to linger and be disliked. The next moment, he took the Mercenary Team and followed the others ahead. After they left, Zhou Bai then turned to Mills and others. Quan Ziqiang hurriedly introduced Mills. "Mills, their Clan Leader." Mills, hearing this, faced Zhou Bai’s gaze and became noticeably uneasy. Zhou Bai kindly smiled, "It’s really great that you decided to come; now Victor and Denglop have company here in Hope Village." Mills’s anxious mood was momentarily stunned by Zhou Bai’s words. The homey demeanor instantly narrowed the distance between the two. Mills subconsciously glanced at Victor and Denglop, who also unconsciously smiled lightly because of Zhou Bai’s words. True character revealed through small details. Their days in Hope Village must truly be good, making them feel like returning home upon coming back to the territory. Sensing Chief Mills’s stunned gaze, Zhou Bai continued, addressing Victor and Denglop, "You previously stayed with Bayer; now that your people are here, you can choose a new place." "What new place?" Victor asked curiously. "The goblin community," Zhou Bai directly said. "I have specifically divided your living area; there are three communities: the Undead District, the Beastman District, and the goblin community. Your people will live there, and it’ll be more comfortable for you. The prices for selling and renting residential places are all the same; you can choose suitable ones with your people later." "Good, thank you, Village Chief," Victor listened, feeling somewhat excited. Having a piece of territory in the area that belonged to their race was truly... wonderful. As for Mills, he began to feel some anticipation. The people of Hope Village, from top to bottom, seemed to be gradually erasing the unease in their hearts in their own way, making them gradually open their hearts, willing to accept the meager kindness this world offered them. Then, to avoid further trouble later on, Zhou Bai walked with them. The entire group made their way toward Hope Village. As they drew closer to Hope Village, they encountered more people and teams. Many people’s gazes were instantly drawn to this group. Goblins! So many goblins! At this time, Zhou Bai also noticed that among the groups waiting at the gate to enter the city, there were also goblins! The difference was, these goblins had ropes tied around their necks, all linked together. This group of goblins was slaves. This sudden scene caught Zhou Bai and his group off guard, and they couldn’t help but stand rooted to the spot.
