Chapter 256: Chapter 159: The Medal Award Team Has Arrived_3

However, now that he had chosen Hope Village as his territory and was watching the village make tireless efforts for the Territory War, he had convinced himself deep down to accept this territory. Naturally, he could see the good here.

Thinking of this, Watt felt a lot more relaxed.

He sincerely said to Zhou Bai, "Thank you, village chief. We will work hard."

Work hard to accumulate Contribution!

"Keep it up, our territory needs talented individuals like you. As long as you can become soldiers, we will have many missions for you," Zhou Bai directly started to entice them with prospects.

Of course, these prospects were eventually going to be realized.

Zhou Bai had already felt the benefits of opening a market and would send teams to other territories from time to time in the future. An experienced team like Watt’s naturally stood a chance of being dispatched.

Listening to this, Watt’s eyes sparkled.

With Zhou Bai’s words, his mind was also set.

After walking a distance together, Zhou Bai parted ways with them.

Once Zhou Bai had left, Watt turned to his teammates and said directly, "You all heard, right?"

"Heard it," they replied with a hint of excitement.

In their eyes, the village chief, being a high-ranking official of the territory, meant their future was promising if he valued them—definitely a good thing!

"Work hard and take on more territory tasks, strive to earn Contribution," continued Watt.

"Yes!"

Hearing everyone’s resounding voices, Watt felt reassured.

He took this opportunity to pull back the wavering hearts of his teammates.

Yes, this was all part of Watt’s calculations.

He had long known that Zhou Bai had no public engagements scheduled.

The meeting today was not a coincidence, but his meticulous planning.

What he hadn’t expected was that Zhou Bai, the village chief, was more reliable than he had imagined.

Now, it was a case of killing two birds with one stone!

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai, who had walked away, was unaware of Watt’s "schemes," and even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. As long as the final result was good for the territory, she didn’t mind the ulterior motives of those below her.

So, Zhou Bai spent the whole day outside the territory hunting demon beasts, training herself and collecting experience points at the same time.

Of course, to not affect the territory professionals’ plan for the "small Beast Tide" at night, Zhou Bai ranged quite far afield.

As dusk fell, Zhou Bai began the journey back.

Upon returning to the territory, after having dinner and preparing to go to the Training Camp to check on the day’s gains, she suddenly noticed several clusters of green dots within her territory, numbering in the hundreds.

A thought flickered in her mind as she calculated the timing. Could it be the Mercenary Team from Bengela Town?

As she was pondering this, a soldier from the watchtower came hurrying to find her.

"Village chief, a group of hundreds has entered our territory, with soldiers at the front wearing full armor, appearing quite formidable," reported the soldier.

The outfit of the soldiers at the front was indeed intimidating; they didn’t look like ordinary people.

Soldiers in armor???

Zhou Bai frowned slightly and replied directly, "Let’s go have a look."

Moments later, standing atop the watchtower, Zhou Bai also noticed the group, the squad at the front waving a distinctive flag, riding armored horse beasts.

Such equipment, she had never seen even on the soldiers of Bengela Town.

Where did they come from?

What was their purpose in Hope Village?

Soon, having received the message, Bayer and the others also arrived.

Upon seeing the flag, Bayer said to Zhou Bai, "That’s the Royal Capital Knights’ flag! They must be here for a Medal Award Ceremony!"

The Medal Award Team that Bayer had mentioned before had actually come!

In that instant, several thoughts flashed through Zhou Bai’s mind.

Generally, medals are awarded to the Territory Lord.

Since she had concealed her Lord Identity, she naturally couldn’t reveal it just for the sake of receiving a medal.

So, could she logically accept the medal in her capacity as village chief?

Would it raise suspicions?

Bayer, seeing the expression on Zhou Bai’s face, knew what she was worried about and whispered in her ear, "As long as the lord does not appear, it is natural for you to receive the medal. As it’s a territorial command, no one will question it, and even if someone has doubts, they wouldn’t speak out."

With Zhou Bai’s Contribution, her position in the territory was unshakable.

She had firmly established herself in Hope Village with her own identity.

Who else, besides the "Lord," was more suitable to accept the medal?
