Chapter 145: Chapter 085: Strengthening Territory Combat Power, Definitely Right_3

Zhou Bai jotted everything down bit by bit.

At last, Zhou Bai let out a long sigh.

So, this is the real world where, in the future, their territory must truly exist.

"How do territories interact with each other? Will larger territories bully the smaller ones?" Zhou Bai couldn’t help but ask.

Bayer paused before answering, "Yes, territory wars occur not only among different races but also among human territories. To avoid conflict with territories of other races, some human territories choose to target other human territories instead. Part of the reason why the Human Clan is weakening is due to this internal strife."

Self-interest is eternal.

In any case, powerful lords, no matter their territory’s status, always manage to preserve themselves. It is always the lower-level residents who suffer.

After hearing this, Zhou Bai took a deep breath. With such circumstances, wouldn’t these newly established territories become targets for the native territories?

"Have you visited Bengela Town? What’s it like there?"

"I visited there a long time ago, so my memory isn’t very clear. But since it’s a town, they wouldn’t consider a village to be on their level, and they wouldn’t target us in a territory war either," Bayer said plainly. "But, be wary of professionals from the town plundering resources near our village, as the demon beasts near village resource points are relatively easier to handle than those near the town."

Zhou Bai listened, his expression slightly changing.

It seemed that they indeed needed to prepare for contact with the native territory and its residents, especially internally. If other residents came, he couldn’t let his territory’s inhabitants be disadvantaged within their own territory.

Seeing Zhou Bai’s expression, Bayer guessed her thoughts and said directly, "There’s no need to worry too much. With our territory’s current strength, professionals from outside won’t be able to cause too much trouble here, and they wouldn’t dare to enter our territory and behave recklessly."

"Even so, we still need to make preparations," Zhou Bai responded. "And it’s not just about Bengela Town; there’s also the territory war you mentioned. Last time, we faced new territories like Hope Village, but in the next territory war, we’ll face all territories of the same level across the Stan Continent."

Bayer also reacted to this.

Right, with so many new territories emerging, including some level-zero villages, they will definitely become targets for many village-level territories, not only within the Human Clan Kingdom but from other races as well.

Thinking this, Bayer said directly, "If possible, we should make the first move when the time comes. Maybe target Overlord Village from last time?"

That way, they could secure more time for development.

Hearing Bayer’s suggestion, Zhou Bai smiled; it seemed like a plan, but not the best one. "There’s still time. We’ll think about that later. Right now, let’s focus on the territory’s affairs. The second floor of the Lord Mansion has been renovated. The Military Management Office, Commercial Management Office, Personnel Management Office, and Finance Management Office should start operating! I’ll handle the staffing for the last three departments, but I’ll need you for the Military Management Office."

"What do I need to do?" Bayer’s attention was drawn back. Although he had experience with command, he was aware that commanding a combat team was different from managing the territory’s soldiers.

"Merge the Beastmen, Undead, and Human Soldiers into one team! Previously, we kept you separate so you could adapt to the new territory, but now, after some time to mesh, there’s no need for separate teams anymore," Zhou Bai said directly. "You will still command with Heidi, O’Neill, and Zhou Zhengping assigned to the infantry team, divided into three squads. Muer, Lucas, and Li Xingteng will fall under the Shield Soldier Team, again divided into three squads, while Alike, Gianvito, and Cao Jingshan will head the Bowman Team, also divided into three squads. You will manage these three soldier teams, and from them, you will draw a number of individuals to form the territory’s law enforcement team, which you will directly supervise in the territory, maintaining patrol and order. As for the soldier teams, apart from their missions, you’ll assign them to guard the gates... Take care of the specifics as you see fit!"

The contact and interaction with native territories and residents presented a new challenge for the territory, but it also represented an opportunity.

If residents from Bengela Town wanted to gather resources from their territory, it meant they would come to Hope Village.

And in Hope Village, many things that were absent in the native territories would be new and unseen by the native residents.

His territory could ’retrieve’ those resources through other means.

In this exchange, both sides could benefit.

However, the precondition was that Hope Village must be able to stand its ground against the professionals from Bengela Town.

With the preparations he had just mentioned, even if they came, the safety and order of the territory would not be an issue.

"Good," Bayer said, looking at Zhou Bai with admiration.

He, too, saw the benefits of this approach.

Having a clever Lord made him confident in the future of Hope Village.

After discussing some details, Bayer left first, already considering suitable candidates for the law enforcement team in his mind.

As for Zhou Bai, he glanced at the notice board and then made his way to the Blacksmith Shop.

It was time to make use of the Crossbow Carriage blueprints that Bayer had given him last time.

No matter what they faced next, strengthening the combat force of the territory was undoubtedly the right move!
