CHAPTER 882: CHAPTER 416: THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE HUMAN CLAN KINGDOM POWER

"It’s nothing, let the team go to the territory near Suric Town to do tasks and business, then stop by Suric Town. Of course, also send teams that do not bear the name of Hope Town." Zhou Bai said directly, "In addition, teams should also be sent to Lovisa City, Hastings City, and Delisha City."

Even if it is just to make preparations in advance!

Originally, she thought that as her strength increased, things would become relatively easier, but reality told her there was no hardest, only harder.

As long as Hope Town is not the top territory, it will always be caught in the struggle for interests and cannot remain unscathed.

"Yes." Bayer, having just watched Zhou Bai examine the map and think for so long, guessed that his lord might have other plans.

The orders were given, and all he needed to do was comply.

In any case, when the time comes, the lord will explain.

Then, Zhou Bai directly handed over the map of the entire area to Bayer.

Staring at the map, Bayer was wide-eyed, "My lord, this..."

"The map of this area is for you. Arrange things well." Regarding the map, Zhou Bai did not intend to keep using it by herself.

However, if the fact that she possessed the entire map of the Stan Continent were to be known, it might attract too much attention, so for her own sake, she naturally had to keep a low profile.

By giving them the map of this area, she planned to use it when their territory’s teams had finished exploring the entire area.

By then, the students in the territory could also learn a bit about geography, and if they went out to train in the future, they’d have a mental map.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai continued, "You can give it to those you trust, just tell them not to spread it around."

She trusted Bayer to handle it well.

"Understood." After understanding Zhou Bai’s intentions, Bayer accepted.

Indeed, with this map, they would integrate the information network more conveniently.

Bayer had already begun calculating in his mind the potential candidates.

At least Zhong Yongnian and Yun Juncai from the newly established external management department needed to have it.

Speaking of which, after the establishment of this external management department, not only did they sign cooperation agreements with other territories, but a lot of information from other territories also continuously flowed in.

Especially Yun Juncai. He never imagined that Yun Juncai’s Mercenary Team would have collected so much information unknowingly.

Initially meant to reveal at the right time, the information was suddenly brought into the external department, and while managing the department, they submitted the information as well.

In an instant, their Contribution soared up rapidly.

Especially Yun Juncai’s Carefree Mercenary Team; the average Contribution of their members increased significantly.

To be precise, as Hope Town developed and its population grew, Contribution had already become a sort of badge for Hope Town residents.

The higher the Contribution of a resident, the prouder they were.

After all, it was another form of a medal.

Moreover, Contribution could be used to exchange for items in the territory’s official shops at a 1-to-1 ratio for copper coins, and although the Contribution would be deducted post-exchange, it saved many residents a lot of money.

By observing the distribution of Contribution from the territory, one could also infer the abilities of Yun Juncai’s team members, leading Yun Juncai to directly employ some of them as staff members of the management department.

In just two days, the external management department was running smoothly.

The fact that there are now over a thousand shop rental agreements within the territory is all thanks to them.

Even without them, these territories would eventually approach Hope Town, but they preemptively accelerated efficiency.

Because these shops became benchmarks, more territories followed, fearing they’d miss out on opportunities if they were late.

With more shops, naturally, there were more tourists. Besides those residents informed about the territories, many travelers came, having heard of Hope Town’s reputation.

In short, the external openness brought significant advantages to Hope Town. If Hope Town could remain stable, it might truly leap forward within a short period.

That is to say, from a town to a city.

Because, to a certain extent, Hope Town was only a step away from advancing from a Level 1 town to a Level 2 town.

Within a month, Hope Town is certainly able to achieve and surpass this target.

Thinking of this, Bayer’s heart felt a bit fiery.

If it were the old days, taking big strides would have attracted too much attention and envy.

But after learning from the lord that special weather would soon return and last longer, and understanding the tumult beneath the calm of Stan Continent, he realized it.

Crisis is also an opportunity for Hope Town to grow.

Ordinarily, a territory would not drain resources battling a highly potential territory, benefiting other territories.

Hope Town already showcased a brilliant comeback against Fasal Village.

Now, they await the upcoming Territorial War in twenty-some days.

If this next battle indeed involves a powerful invading territory like Suric Town targeting Hope Town and Hope Town manages to defend,

then Hope Town will be able to truly rest easy!

Thus, this month’s time is the most critical for Hope Town.

However... Bayer also thought about Suric Town and Lovisa City behind it.

No matter how Hope Town develops, it can’t avoid them.

There’s still a long way to go!

Stay steady, proceed step by step as it is.

Bayer reminded himself once again.

After withdrawing, Bayer began his arrangements.

Although in the office, Zhou Bai once again unfolded the map, organizing the information gathered about various territories so far.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles and win all.

Since she was already part of the situation, she strived to win more chips for herself.

This period of conscious information gathering, though not very detailed, revealed quite a bit about large territories’ interactions because this wasn’t necessarily top-secret information within the Human Clan Kingdom.

Furthermore, the recent dealings of Suric Town and Lovisa City inspired her; perhaps she could glean insights into the Human Clan Kingdom’s powers from these large territories’ entanglements.

With this in mind, Zhou Bai methodically filled in the information points on the map one by one.

Several hours later, a preliminary network of major territory relations was woven in Zhou Bai’s hands.

Ultimately, Zhou Bai’s gaze fell upon the Royal Capital Saint Sevastian.

She couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

Even if the Royal Capital is merely a name, it is still an entity to reckon with!

It is now the center of the Human Clan Kingdom, and still the mastermind behind the entire Kingdom’s powers!
