Chapter 185: Chapter 111: The True Face of Mount Lu

A moment later, the meeting room on the second floor of the Lord Mansion was crowded with people; there weren’t enough seats, and many stood at the back.

Everyone’s face held a touch of excitement; no one had expected that they could directly enter the meeting room.

Taking advantage of the time before the meeting started, many people started whispering to each other.

"I didn’t expect we could all come in."

"Listening for ourselves, we’ll definitely understand better."

"Some people were worried that the territory was intentionally using us as cannon fodder, but it seems that’s not the case."

"Cannon fodder? How could you still think that after being here for so long?"

"But it wasn’t the territory that put forward the idea."

"That sounds a bit sour."

"It is a bit of envy and jealousy. Everyone started out the same."

"No, some people were hardworking from the beginning. Just look at what’s been done here, which one of these was the result of lazing around and then getting promoted? None! If you want to have the right to sit there, you either need to be diligent or talented. Without either, what are you thinking!"

"No, I’m just feeling emotional; it seems like people really are different. Everyone was busy with their own things before, and I didn’t feel it, but looking at them now, I think the gap between people seems to be widening."

"..."

Similar discussions arose on the scene, making the meeting room somewhat noisy.

Bayer and others had a keen sense of hearing, and naturally, they overheard these conversations, frowning involuntarily as they listened.

Indeed, the humans in this territory were very individualistic, but he also noticed a problem: they lacked respect for their superiors.

Even though Zhou Bai had not revealed her identity as the Lord, the position of Village Chief was also a leader in the territory, and their attitude...

One could only say that these people had both "good" and "bad" traits!

They couldn’t just enjoy the benefits of these good traits without accepting their bad ones.

Thinking this, Bayer’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed.

After all, it was only a small group of people, and it was just talk.

Other ghost NPCs had all died once; what Bayer thought, they thought as well. Although they felt somewhat uncomfortable with the recent remarks, none spoke further on the matter.

O’Neill couldn’t figure it out and subconsciously wanted to say something but was stopped by Lucas standing beside him.

Anyone with a bit of sense should know that Hope Village was different from other places.

If they liked the atmosphere here, they had to accept its freedom.

Seeing Lucas intervene, O’Neill, quite cleverly, held back.

Zhou Bai sat at the head of the table, and after becoming a Professional, her hearing had also become sensitive, so she could see and hear clearly.

However, she did not take it to heart; she had already prepared for such matters.

After all, human hearts are complicated, and it wasn’t just talk.

She then directly spoke, "Since most are here now, let’s start the meeting!"

Hearing this, the room quieted down, and everyone eagerly turned their attention to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai continued, with a calm demeanor, "As everyone is aware, the primary goal this time is to explore the surrounding territories."

Saying this, Zhou Bai looked towards Bayer.

Bayer, upon being looked at, directly took out a scroll and spread it on the table.

The people immediately craned their necks to peek and discovered a map on the scroll, with marked territories around Hope Village and complete routes.

Bayer directly introduced, "These are several territories that I’ve organized, all within a two-day journey here, totaling ten territories. Of these, five are within a one-day journey: Bengala Town, Abo Duowei Village, Barnes Village, Glasgow Village, and Djibouti Village. Bengala Town is a Level 2 town; the rest are Level 3 villages."

Bayer continued, "Bengala Town is the strongest, a renowned city for crafting Silver Equipment, while the other four villages mainly focus on agriculture: fruits, grains..."

After Bayer finished introducing, Zhou Bai continued, "Therefore, the territory will send five teams to the five territories, each team dispatching a soldier team."

Following the last adjustment, the territory’s soldier teams had merged into a whole, performing their daily tasks in coordinated efforts. Each type of soldier had several squads, with different individuals in charge, and more would be added according to the situation. For now, however, the focus was on infantry, archers, and shield soldiers.

Infantry team: Heidi (18), Zhou Zhengping (52), O’Neill (27), Lucas (27)
