Chapter 52 - 040: Overlord Village Attacks_2
After walking a distance away, Yu Ziming turned back, thinking of Cao Jingshan's grandeur and then his own desolation, an idea surfaced in his mind.
Could there be a chance within the territory to redeem his merits?
If so, he definitely had to seize it.
**
By the time Cao Jingshan and others reached the military camp, all 40 soldiers of the soldier team had already arrived.
Bayer and Danis were already waiting, and there were two additional figures beside them.
The man had a quiver on his back and held a bow in his hand.
The woman was draped in a black robe, holding a magic wand in her hand.
Everyone knew that the Heroic Spirit Hall would summon two NPCs daily, and by the looks of these two, they were likely today's summoned NPCs.
Moreover, they were an Archer and a Mage!
[Archer · Alike]
[Mage · Heidi]
Realizing this, the people present felt a bit excited.
Especially Cao Jingshan and the newly added Archers from yesterday, with the Archer, their training today might be more refined.
As for the others, they felt curious and yearning towards the Mage.
Yesterday, Danis showed off a healing spell, just chanting a few words could heal a person's wounds and even restore their Life Value to the best state, he was indeed a walking nurse; anyone who had played the game would understand, such a character was an indispensable member of the team.
They all knew that after reaching Level 10, they would develop their Professions, but they weren't sure if they had the chance to become Mages.
Mages were indeed impressive!
In the team, Zhou Zhengping looked at the freshly summoned NPCs feeling a bit surprised, as Zhou Bai had still been sleeping when he left this morning, but he figured Zhou Bai must have woken up early to summon them in the dark.
Thinking of the content he discussed with Li Xingteng yesterday, he felt that the chances of Zhou Bai being exposed were indeed very slim.
As everyone's thoughts drifted, Bayer spoke up, "Everyone knows there are eight directions for a soldier's job advancement, but currently, in the early stages of territory development, I will focus on developing three types of troops: infantry, Shield Soldiers, and Archers. You 20 who changed professions while I was absent chose other directions, but it's not a problem. Under Level 10, the distinction between soldiers isn't significant, so the original First Soldier Team will train following the infantry method, the Second Soldier Team following the Shield Soldiers' method, and the newly recruited 20 Archers will still train according to Archer methods."
"Yes."
After guiding the soldiers, Bayer looked towards Danis, Alike, and Heidi, "Later, Danis and I will lead the infantry and Shield Soldier teams for outdoor training, and the Bowman Team will be under the care of Alike and Heidi. You guys will designate the squad leader of the Bowman Team based on their performance. Any problems?"
It had to be said, with Alike and Heidi, Bayer felt a bit more confident about the army's development.
It could only be said that the financial power of this territory really exceeded his expectations.

Now that Lord had given him ample support, he wouldn't let her down!
"No," responded Alike and Heidi together, their expressions still aloof, but their eyes revealed a bit of excitement, feeling great to be back in Human Territory.
After deciding on this, the entire soldier team split into two, led by different NPCs out of the military camp.
After leaving the military camp, they didn't venture out of the territory immediately but headed straight for the Blacksmith Shop.
In the Blacksmith Shop, Harrison looked at Bayer and a few new NPCs, saying coolly, "Everything is here! Hurry up and take them away."
His face sullen, yet his hands dared not act too roughly, knowing their Levels!
He hadn't expected Zhou Bai to summon so many Undead consecutively, and all Human, with higher Levels than him; with more people on their side, even if he took pride in his Dwarf Identity, he didn't dare to grumble.
Furthermore, he didn't want to be dismissed and sent back to the Undead Kingdom next month, and because Zhou Bai disturbed him last night to prepare batches of arrows and shields, he had to obediently pull an all-nighter to comply.
Now he just wanted to dismiss them and rest as soon as possible.
This batch of equipment had drained quite a lot of his Physical Value.
Bayer and the others didn't care about Harrison's attitude, or perhaps, they were already used to other races' contempt towards Humans.
After picking up the weapons, Bayer and the others distributed them then led their teams out of the territory for training.
Just as they exited the territory gate, Zhou Zhengping, looking at the deserted territory gate, couldn't help but mention, "Territory War is likely imminent, shouldn't we have someone keep watch?"
"Challengers in a Territory War typically choose not to attack during special weather due to the high resource consumption, especially at village-level battles; it's almost nonexistent, so there's no need to stand guard. Even if the enemy takes an uncommon approach with such weather, with our current territory walls, they couldn't breach them quickly, allowing us time to counter." Bayer explained.
"I understand, thank you," replied Zhou Zhengping earnestly.
The presence of local NPCs was too important for them.
Bayer said no more and continued leading the team outward, while Alike and Heidi, after a brief discussion, took a completely different direction.
**
Over the next two days, the stormy weather continued, and changes were occurring throughout the territory.
Four new combat NPCs were added to the military camp;
The roads leading out of the territory were completed, and the number of arriving survivors increased;
After training, the infantry, Shield Soldiers, and Archers gradually took shape and doubled their size;
...
On the eighth day since the Doomsday Game commenced, the storm ceased, and the weather cleared.
It was also on this morning that Zhou Bai received a notification from the system.
[Dear Host, Overlord Village has initiated a Territory War against Hope Village, with an attack imminent. As the party being challenged, please prepare for a defense.]
[Note: Village-level Territory War, duration: 24 hours.]
