CHAPTER 878: CHAPTER 415: IT’S HIS, IT’S HIS, IT’S ALL HIS!

"Lord, where are we going next?" Looking at Sulic’s ironic smile, Artel felt a sense of unease, but he couldn’t just stand there in a daze and had to change the topic.

However, deep down he admired the merchants of Hope Town for "tricking" his Lord into spending money.

At least, not many people can get undeserved money from the stingy Lord.

But he thought that a battle between his territory and Hope Town was inevitable sooner or later, and whatever is lost then can be regained. His Lord should be able to console himself.

He just needed to ensure that the Lord wouldn’t take it out on him.

Sulic snapped back to reality at Artel’s words, put away the electric bike that was in their sight, and chuckled: "This Hope Town is quite interesting, let’s walk around and take a look."

"Yes." Artel replied, quietly standing behind Sulic.

Then, despite saying he would walk around casually, Sulic headed straight towards the South Gate of Hope Town.

Clearly, he was heading for the military camp of Hope Town.

To judge the strength of a territory, one must not only look at its economic prosperity but also its military strength.

They had seen the prosperity of Hope Town, and naturally, they needed to see its military strength as well.

"Hope Town announced two days ago that they plan to recruit 2,000 more soldiers, who are currently in training, and the final result will be determined in a month." Artel whispered to Sulic.

This was their first time in Hope Town, but it didn’t mean they hadn’t been gathering information about it.

Since there was an order from the higher-ups to confront Hope Town, they had been investigating it from the time it was still a village-level territory.

Unlike the fool in Fasal Village, who, despite his lack of strength, still tried to take a chance.

Everyone knows what Wolf is thinking. Having been disgraced by Hope Town, he wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it, which is why he kept delaying, but to no avail since Hope Town has its pride too.

Though it’s unclear what method Hope Town used to completely eliminate the threat, it’s obvious that Hope Town is not as "weak" as the territories they have encountered in the past.

This battle will be difficult!

Sulic paused at Artel’s words, "Did they change professions?"

"Probably not, I’ve heard that they’ve recruited over 3,000 for training! But whether they changed professions or not doesn’t make a huge difference in Hope Town’s strength, considering even those who aren’t soldiers are professionals, logically speaking, there wouldn’t be significant fluctuations."

He knew what the Lord was worried about, it was just that he was concerned Hope Town might be hiding a trump card.

Hope Town surely has a trump card hidden, but it’s uncertain if this is one of them.

Even if it is, the gap wouldn’t be very large.

"Hmm." Sulic responded, clearly sharing the same view.

The two continued walking quietly; people moved around them from time to time, but it didn’t affect their mood.

When in Rome, they naturally couldn’t clear everyone out.

Most importantly, they could also gather some information from these people.

"The layout of Hope Town is indeed interesting." After walking through several streets, glancing around, Sulic naturally understood the layout of Hope Town.

Five rings forming a cycle, the layout is relatively reasonable, at least linking residents’ daily lives with businesses, and even without tourists, it wouldn’t be too bad.

For the residents, life must be very convenient.

I’d always heard Hope Town treats its residents well, and I didn’t expect it to be true, and they have already put it into action.

No wonder so many people want to come to Hope Town as residents today.

The more come, the better, as it will ultimately benefit him too.

Sulic said confidently.

"The Lord of Hope Town is also quite skilled at amassing wealth. These shops are only for rent, not for sale, which means a continuous flow of money." Artel said with a hint of admiration.

"So Hope Town is rich!" Sulic said, feeling a bit restless.

Gold coins! Gold coins! His lifelong love!

Sooner or later, they will be his.

Artel smiled to himself at his Lord’s reaction.

The wealthier Hope Town is, the more his Lord thinks about it, and naturally, he’ll be more committed in the battle.

With this thought, Artel felt recognizing the strength of Hope Town was very important.
