Chapter 383 - 219: The Fortified Wall

Chapter 383: Chapter 219: The Fortified Wall

With the addition of the goblins, the cement factory started producing cement on a grand scale, and various types of wooden scaffolding had already begun to be erected on the city wall.

The commotion quickly drew the attention of residents within the territory as well as incoming teams.

Wilson was one of them.

Because the goblins "sold" themselves to Zhou Bai, he had the opportunity to pull some strings and obtained some goods earlier than other teams, which allowed him to wander around Hope Village and enjoy some delicious food.

During his stroll, he also noticed the "big fuss" of the Goblin Clan and was truly surprised that Hope Village had hired so many goblins and even paid them wages.

"They’ve actually hired so many goblins to work, and they’re adding decorations to the city wall which is already thick enough for a village! They aren’t doing all this just to provide the goblins with jobs, are they?" one of the mercenaries complained to Wilson.

Immediately after, others in the team joined in the conversation.

"It’s quite possible! Is Hope Village thinking too much of these goblins?"

"Yes! The goblins even have their own residential quarters here in Hope Village."

"I originally thought Hope Village would just give them the title of residents, but they’re actually treating them seriously."

"Now that they’re working, earning 100 copper coins a day isn’t a lot, but they get to eat for free at the restaurant three times a day."

"Even if they don’t work for many days, these few days are enough for them to settle down in Hope Village."

"Nevertheless, Hope Village is indeed a nice place! If ordinary residents come here, they can also have a good life. I see the residents of Hope Village are quite content with their current lives."

"It’s just that the current level is too low. Who knows if they can withstand the development phase and become a town. If it becomes a town, it would be a good choice."

"..."

What started as mere complaints turned into a reflection on the "welfare" policy of Hope Village.

Compared to other territories, Hope Village was truly treating its residents well.

Of course, the most important part was the variety of novel and delicious food at affordable prices, which made living here a great enjoyment.

Listening to these discussions, Wilson’s expression briefly paused. After observing, he indeed found Hope Village to be a good place.

However, his business was in another territory, and his family was also in another territory; he couldn’t give up everything he had, but...

"If you like it here, you can bring your families to visit later. When our team comes to deliver goods, we can bring them along," Wilson said directly.

The mercenaries’ eyes instantly gleamed at these words. Right! How could they have forgotten this option?

Not planning to settle down here didn’t mean they couldn’t bring their families for a visit.

They believed their families would like this place, and a trip would not be expensive.

They worked so hard outside just to provide a better life for their families!

Now that their captain was willing to let their families join the group, it solved their biggest concern!

Suddenly, the way they looked at Wilson changed.

"Thank you, Captain."

"We’ll do our work well!"

Several mercenaries immediately started flattering Wilson.

Wilson chuckled at the flattery.

Buying the favor of his subordinates was also beneficial to ensuring they worked well for the team!

After this matter was settled, everyone’s attention returned to the city wall.

"So, is this city wall really just to solve the employment issue for the goblins?"

Wilson’s gaze fell upon the layered scaffolds, "We’ll see when it’s done. I think Hope Village must have its own plans."

Considering the current development of Hope Village, it didn’t seem to be without preparation.

"But aren’t we leaving in a couple of days? I heard that Hope Village is about to enter a Territory War..." a mercenary said hesitantly before sharing some rumors, "I heard Hope Village might be targeted by a predatory territory."

Wilson frowned upon hearing this; he had also heard about it, but it was just speculation.

Regardless of its truth, they would not stay behind.

Because there was no need for their team to take such a risk.

"Alright, this matter isn’t greatly related to us, no need to discuss further. We will leave before the Territory War commences," Wilson said decisively.

"Yes," the other mercenaries quickly nodded.

They just hoped that after the Territory War, the territory would still exist! Otherwise, it would be a pity for all the good things inside!

Like Wilson’s team, there were many other teams in Hope Village that felt the same way.

Aside from the residents preparing to settle in Hope Village, many merchant teams and Mercenary Teams had already begun packing up, planning to leave before the start of the Territory War.

**

In the following days, regardless of what others speculated, Hope Village continued its city wall fortification work. With the efforts of the goblins, the wooden scaffolding and the exterior framework around the city wall were completed, significantly increasing the thickness of the city wall, and iron nets were packed densely within the gaps.

On the day it was completed, the cement produced by the cement factory was mixed and gradually poured into the structure.

The sight of the fluid cement had onlookers murmuring doubtfully.

"Can this stuff be as good as stone?"

"One look and you can tell it’s not as good as stone; at least stone is hard, what use could this soft stuff have?"

"I was actually looking forward to it for a while!"

"Who knows what Hope Village is thinking?"

"Yeah, turning the originally majestic city wall into something so strange."

"..."

Listening to these remarks, the Blue Star residents secretly smiled to themselves.

These natives knew nothing about the effectiveness of cement.

Many residents from Blue Star, with their achievements unknown, planned to witness the natives’ jaws dropping in astonishment.

While others doubted, Mills, the Goblin Chief, also felt some nervousness.

After all, this was the Goblin Clan’s first job in Hope Village, and they hoped it would end perfectly, laying the foundation for their integration into the village.

Especially since in recent days, he had also heard some rumors of resentment from the Hope Village Residents, believing the goblins were holding back the village.

As the goblins anxiously waited and the natives watched the spectacle, the city wall underwent a drastic transformation overnight.

Both the visiting Mercenary Teams and the natives of the territory were stunned by the newly formed wall!

How could this be possible?
