[This transmission consumed 2 Gold Coins and 68 Silver Coins, which have been deducted.] [Dear Host, you have arrived at Hope Village. As the challenger, please commence the siege as soon as possible.] [Note: Village-level territory war, Duration: 24 hours (Countdown: 23:55)] Looking at the time already ticking away, Ke Gaojie turned to the Beastman Lucas beside him. After passing the initial test, Ke Gaojie had received a Special Building award. Beast God Temple. Through the Beast God Temple, he was able to summon Beastmen to aid him, so long as he paid a certain amount of Gold Coins. These Beastmen would then serve him. On this point, Ke Gaojie was proud, especially knowing that Beastmen were considered top-tier combatants in this world. He wasn’t sure if other territories had similar special buildings, but as long as they were not Beastmen, who could have a bigger advantage in a siege battle than him? Therefore, in Ke Gaojie’s view, Hope Village was destined to be his underling. If the Lord of Hope Village knew what was good for him and surrendered voluntarily, he wouldn’t mind taking him on as a subordinate and incorporating Hope Village into his own territory. If not, he couldn’t blame him for intra-species killing. It was the end of days. Might makes right. He absolutely had to establish himself as a dominant ruler in the game, making people strive for his territory and making other lords fear his name. In the past few days, he had summoned four Beastmen at the Beast God Temple. Kobold Lucas. Bull-man Fred. Pigman Mali. Tiger-headed Man O’Neill. Each Beastman had their own traits, and although they held great disdain for humans, they were still under his “control.” Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Of course, to ensure they would help him wholeheartedly in conquering territories, he had treated them well these past few days. Thinking of this, Ke Gaojie couldn’t help but feel a bit pained; these Beastmen had consumed quite a bit of his resources in just a few days. The next moment, he gathered his thoughts and spoke directly, “Lucas, help me pinpoint the location of Hope Village.” Lucas, as a Kobold, had an incredibly keen sense of smell and could sniff out the presence of any life within a certain range, serving as a walking “locator.” They were already within the territory of Hope Village, and Lucas could definitely pinpoint the location through his sense of smell, which would save them a lot more time than trying to find it themselves. Upon hearing this, Lucas glanced at Ke Gaojie and activated his skills. In a moment’s time, he firmly fixed his gaze on a spot and said directly, “Follow me!” With that, he took the lead, agilely leaping into a forest. Ke Gaojie hurriedly led the others to follow. The entire group of two hundred was quite long; the people in front were running, and those at the rear were urgently chasing. However, at the back of the group, some were quietly discussing. “I heard that the people in Hope Village are also Blue Star people like us. When the battle breaks out, should we really attack them? I can accept killing Demon Beasts, but killing our fellow beings, I don’t know if I can do it.” “There’s no way around it. From the game’s design, we know they’ll encourage us to fight amongst ourselves. It’s either kill or be killed. To survive, we must fight.” “Ke Gaojie won’t give us the chance to stay out of it. If we disobey his orders, we can’t stay in Overlord Village any longer. Without the protection of a territory outside, the dangers are numerous, and we wouldn’t survive.” “I don’t know about Hope Village, but it’s certainly no match for Overlord Village. Overlord Village ranks 59th, while Hope Village is only at 192. It’s clear that Ke Gaojie is picking on the weaker one.” “Also, don’t forget the teams that left the territory because they found Ke Gaojie too harsh. Why do you think that right after they leave, beastmen led by Ke Gaojie’s confidants immediately chase after them?” “Are you suggesting?” “Exactly what you’re thinking. So, unless we’re fully prepared to leave, we can only rely on Overlord Village, on Ke Gaojie. Besides, many people have already died among our own outside the territory. The world has changed; we must adapt to survive and thrive under these new rules.” “…” The harsh reality was laid bare, and many who felt uneasy fell silent. It wasn’t their wish but the dire circumstances that forced them! Ke Gaojie didn’t know the thoughts of the people in his team. He continued along with Lucas, estimating the size of a level 1 territory, his expression growing more excited as they moved on. However, as they walked, Ke Gaojie suddenly noticed Lucas had led them onto a big road, shockingly out of place and clearly not part of the original territory layout—it had been altered later, especially the cobblestones which looked familiar, likely crafted from stones gathered in the wild. He guessed that this road might have been built by Hope Village. Considering that the Doomsday Game started only eight days ago, and it had been raining heavily for three days, where did Hope Village find the energy to build a road? If they truly did, it only suggested that this territory was no ordinary place. Ke Gaojie felt a headache coming on, sensing that things might be getting out of his control. Not just him, the rest of the team noticed something unusual about the road too. Almost reflexively, Ke Gaojie couldn’t help asking Lucas, the guide, “Can you sense the population of Hope Village? How many people are there?” Lucas glanced at Ke Gaojie, “Probably over three hundred people!” Hearing the number, Ke Gaojie was surprised but felt somewhat relieved. His own territory had more than four hundred people; nearly a hundred of them had no combat ability, but so long as they spent money in his territory, he had nothing to say. This time, he had brought 268 people, all of level 7 or above, leaving only a squad of confidants to guard his territory, having brought almost all his combat power. By his estimate, given Hope Village’s three hundred plus population, their combatants wouldn’t exceed two hundred. He still held the advantage, not to mention the four beastmen he’d brought, each with a damage value of over five hundred. Their attacks on the territory fences would surely overwhelm the opposition’s defensive values; the advantage was clearly his. The more Ke Gaojie thought about it, the more at ease he became, unconsciously disregarding that lingering unease deep within. As the team continued along the road, passing through the forest and coming into an open view, the sight of Hope Village began to emerge before them. But as they drew closer, everyone was stunned. “The fences around Hope Village seem very high!” “No, that’s not a fence, that’s… a wall!!!” Exclamations rose around Ke Gaojie, who himself felt a moment of disorientation. He hadn’t expected Hope Village to be so dedicated. When the time came to upgrade, he didn’t hesitate to upgrade the territory fence to a level 1 wall, which even then cost him 10 Gold Coins and 10,000 stone material. Later he saw that a level 2 wall would cost 24 Gold Coins, and he planned to upgrade before the territory to prepare for the beast tide. But this wall of Hope Village… no, it wasn’t a wall, it was a city wall, clearly a level higher. Conservatively, upgrading to this level must have cost over two hundred Gold Coins—converted to real-world money, that was over two million! Spending over two million just to build a wall. How wealthy must the Lord of this territory be to afford such an expense? Doesn’t his territory need development? Of course, that wasn’t the main point, the real concern was, with the defensive power of this kind of wall, how was he supposed to fight this battle?
