CHAPTER 778: CHAPTER 387: ENDLESS TROUBLE_3

Due to Cao Jingshan’s words, the scene immediately became noisy.

The slave in front of Cao Jingshan didn’t hesitate to take the magic scroll from Cao Jingshan’s hands and signed his own name on it.

After him, the slaves rushed to register themselves.

Worley and Norris watched this scene, both slightly bewildered.

Hope Village was actually doing this!

"From another perspective, it seems quite good. If Hope Village treats its residents like this, not to mention us," Norris quickly convinced himself and began persuading Worley.

He indeed felt that when choosing a territory, one should not choose one that is only good to you but one that is good to everyone.

Worley listened and nodded numbly.

And Norris was not the only one who had this thought; many soldiers watching this scene also felt inexplicably less tense.

Zhou Bai entered the scene at this time.

She had already prepared to fight as soon as she entered the area, but from afar, she saw a crowd gathered together, seemingly doing something.

Before she could get closer, she encountered the personnel coming to report.

"Village chief, the soldiers from Fasal Village have surrendered, they are currently registering."

"Surrendered?"

"It’s said that the Lord of Fasal Village pulled a clever move. You’ll understand once you’re there, village chief."

"Alright." Zhou Bai nodded, yet couldn’t help but ponder.

Wolf pulled a clever move? What kind of move?

With curiosity, Zhou Bai stepped forward.

"Village chief." Seeing Zhou Bai, a line of people immediately saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Worley and Norris also turned their attention and their eyes inadvertently flickered.

They noticed the attitude of Alike and Cao Jingshan, among others, as Zhou Bai approached.

Such an attitude wasn’t something that could be feigned.

It was evident that Zhou Bai, as the village chief, really held a high status in Hope Village.

If they had known this earlier... Well, even if they had known it earlier, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. Seeing the soldiers brought by Alike instinctively isolating them made it clear.

They had already handed over their weapons, yet they were still so careful!

At this moment, Alike had already come forward to explain the situation to Zhou Bai and Bayer.

"... They are currently registering. Once done, how should we arrange it?"

Zhou Bai looked at the slaves eagerly registering, paused for a moment, and then said, "The soldiers should be familiar with the resource points near Fasal Village, right? Let them lead the slaves to collect resources."

It wasn’t feasible to send them back, and leaving them there was uneasy. It was better to send them to collect nearby resources and incidentally shear Fasal Village’s wool.

"What about the harvest?" Alike immediately asked.

"Whoever collects it owns it. Just let these slaves have their own livelihood before entering Hope Village," Zhou Bai replied directly.

If it had been before, she would have hesitated whether Hope Village could accommodate these people, but now the territory was soon to be promoted to a town and could accommodate quite a few people. It was just right to use these people to fill it.

"I’ll immediately arrange someone to take care of it," Alike said without hesitation.

After sending someone to handle this matter, Alike handed over the Black Stone he got from Worley and Norris to Zhou Bai.

"Right now, Fasal Village may not know about their surrender. When I just came here, I had already pulled out the personnel from the right squadron and put away some siege weapons. This should create the illusion that we are already attacking from the flank," Alike reported.

Knowing the information, he had already prepared the next step of the plan.

Anyway, whether it was necessary or not, it was right to prepare first.

Hearing Alike say this, Zhou Bai was a bit surprised, followed by happiness.

With such a paving the way, their next operation would indeed be smoother.

"Call them over," Zhou Bai said directly.

"Isn’t it a bit unsafe..." Alike unconsciously said, "Their target was originally you."

"Didn’t we already sign a contract?" Zhou Bai replied.

"If the other party doesn’t care about their own life, then the contract is effectively useless to them."

"No worries, call them over!" Zhou Bai said directly.

She still greatly trusted her own intuition.

Besides, they were just two people. With so many of their own people around, what could they possibly do?

Seeing Zhou Bai insist, Alike no longer tried to persuade her and directly called Worley and Norris over.
