I Become a Landlady in the Game World

"You should know that just a few days ago, Fasal Village had just launched an invasion war against Hope Village, and yet today they dared to come to Hope Village in all their glory."

"Who gave them the courage??? Aren't they afraid of getting beaten up???"

"Even if we really did beat them up, would there be any trouble?"

Thinking of his recent "cooperation" with Marquis Boyer, who had just left, Zhou Bai suddenly felt even more confident.

In terms of strength, Hope Village had "won" anyway.

In terms of backing, they had the same "support" as the other.

She was not afraid at all!

Immediately, Zhou Bai made her way to the Task Center.

The lord of Glasgow Village was a good partner of their territory, and as the village chief, she had to give them a proper welcome and then take the opportunity to meet the lord of Fasal Village.

At that moment, inside the Task Center.

As Wolf entered the Task Center of Hope Village, he saw the crowds that surrounded the place, and most of them were ordinary mercenaries. His brow furrowed at once, obviously feeling uncomfortable with the environment.

Very quickly, right after him, one soldier after another appeared.

Upon their arrivals, the soldiers immediately gathered around Wolf.

"Lord!"

This exclamation instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Other territory's lords had come.

Only then did everyone take notice, seeing the title above Wolf's head.

[Fasal Village·Lord·Viscount·***]

At that moment, many people's eyes lit up with excitement.

"A lord!"

"This is a lord from our native territory!"

"I'm seeing for the first time a lord from another territory who doesn't hide his identity, but reveals it outright."

"Pretty handsome, isn't he?"

"Specially has the air of nobility, a feeling our lord doesn't possess."

"Exactly, speaking of which, I think I saw our lord here earlier, but he was using a tourist identity, so I didn't blow his cover."

"This lord seems a bit haughty, with a slight lift of the chin, seems to look down on people a bit, doesn't he?"

"Forget it, forget it, it doesn't seem that interesting after all; I am going to tour Hope Village."

"Hey, wait for me, let's go together."

"..."

People were discussing one after another. Some joined in the excitement and then left, while others stayed there gossiping about Wolf.

Wolf initially thought these people would steer clear of him after seeing his noble status, but to his surprise, they gathered around him and started discussing.

From the first remark he heard, he felt something was off.

As the conversation continued, his face grew darker and darker.

Especially when he saw someone say it was boring and leave first, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"How dare you!"

With those two words, the soldiers by his side drew their swords one after another, pointing them at the crowd of onlookers.

Suddenly, many people instinctively took a step back.

"Damn! They're getting angry just because we talked a bit?"

"These nobles really can't be messed with."

"Let's get out of here, you always hear that when you go to another territory you shouldn't provoke nobles, otherwise no one will care if you're killed."

"But this is our fellow territory, how could that be!"

"Better be careful."

"The soldiers are coming!"

"..."

Clearly, the soldiers who maintained order noticed the situation right away and came over with their team.

Seeing what was happening, Quan Ziqiang, the captain of the soldier team, spoke up without hesitation, "Please put away your weapons; combat is prohibited within the territory."

Regardless, those who drew their weapons first were in the wrong.

But after hearing what Quan Ziqiang said, none of the soldiers put away their weapons, clearly waiting for orders from their own lord.

At that moment, Wolf stepped forward from among these soldiers and sneered, "You are not qualified to order me. Where is your lord?"

Wolf's voice immediately caught Quan Ziqiang's attention.

What? The lord of Fasal Village? Fasal Village! Wasn't that the one who just invaded their territory???

Damn it!

They invaded their territory, and now they even dared to come to their territory to cause trouble.

Right away, Quan Ziqiang whispered to a few soldiers by his side.

After hearing him, the soldiers quickly headed out, each running in a different direction.

On the spot, Quan Ziqiang slightly curled his lips and said directly, "Please wait; I'm going to find someone in charge."

Wolf was listening, and he frowned, then sweeping his gaze over the still spectating crowd, he sneered, "These people are disrespectful to me; take them all."

Quan Ziqiang: "..."

"Brother, this is Hope Village!!!"

"Don't you have any idea what you've done?"

"Village Chief, Lord Bayer, and Lieutenant Zhou, hurry and take control of the situation!"

Quan Ziqiang roared inwardly but maintained a calm exterior, saying, "Our Hope Village doesn't have any rule that allows for such actions."

"What about the charge of offending Nobles? Every territory recognizes this, and it doesn't require any specific rule," Wolf said without a second thought.

"We haven't learned that, we don't know, sorry, my lord, let's wait for someone responsible to handle it!"

Wolf's sharp gaze suddenly fixed on Quan Ziqiang; an oppressive force seemed to emanate from him, heading straight for Quan Ziqiang.

Quan Ziqiang felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on him, his body tensed up as he struggled not to fall.

None of the others felt the supposed pressure, but they could tell something was slightly off with Quan Ziqiang.

Just when Quan Ziqiang thought he couldn't hold on any longer, he suddenly felt his body relax.

At the same time, a group of people emerged from the crowd.

As this group stepped forward, the label above their leader's head changed from a tourist to something else.

[Glasgow Village·Lord·Viscount·****]

Another Lord!

Wolf, of course, felt his own influence being countered and looked toward the newcomer. Seeing another Lord, his expression became somewhat restrained, but there was still a hint of dismissiveness deep in his eyes; he didn't take Viscount Lancelot seriously.

Viscount Lancelot, of course, noticed Wolf's attitude and snorted inwardly.

He came to Hope Village because he knew that a few days ago, Hope Village had fought against an aggressive territory and succeeded.

He had not expected to witness this scene upon arriving at Hope Village.

Normally, according to his personal habits, he would not intervene in such matters. Offending a lord of an aggressive territory over a small soldier was truly not worth it.

But according to what he knew, Hope Village had not only repelled Fasal Village but had also found a "backer."

Now, by standing out, he wasn't offending anyone – just providing a friendly reminder.

Thinking this, Viscount Lancelot approached Wolf and whispered, "Just two days ago, Hope Village gained the support of Marquis Boyer of Lovisa City."

Wolf: "..."

—What? Say that again?

Isn't Marquis Boyer supposed to be my backer?

When did he become Hope Village's???

Wolf's face showed extreme shock, leading Viscount Lancelot to believe his reminder had taken effect, and he said no more, giving the other time to react.

Wolf only appeared dazed for a moment before quickly recovering.

The matter of Hope Village's alliance with Marquis Boyer was likely true.

Then, could it be that the Marquis had other plans, and his causing trouble in Hope Village now was somewhat inappropriate?

At this time, Zhou Bai and others had also arrived at the scene.

She encountered soldiers looking for her on the way and, knowing that Wolf was picking a fight and that he had brought a substantial number of people, still waited for the main forces to arrive before entering Hope Village together.

Nothing else mattered; at least not in terms of momentum.

And so, Zhou Bai entered the Task Center, surrounded by dozens of soldiers. Beside her were Bayer, Zhou Zhengping, and O'Neill with each leading a small team.

Her entrance was nothing short of impressive.

"Holy! Hope Village actually has Beastmen!!! They look like soldiers; how did Hope Village manage that?"

"I've heard of beastmen, but this is my first time seeing one, they're really huge! Truly a giant 'kitty cat.'"

"Is the one walking at the front the Lord of Hope Village? Looks damn impressive!"

"Even if not the Lord, they must be someone formidable."

"I knew it! I sensed that the lord from Fasal Village was here to pick a fight with Hope Village; called it intentional."

"They have a grudge against Hope Village?"

"I know about that."

"Go on!"

"A few days ago, the Territory War of Hope Village was against Fasal Village's attack, and since Fasal Village is an aggressive territory, if not for Hope Village's capabilities, it might have ceased to exist already."

"Damn! I hate the word 'aggressive' the most. Fasal Village, that's disgusting, committing such evil deeds and then daring to strut around here??"

"How do you know this?"

"I used to be a resident of Abo Duowei Village; my territory was conquered by Fasal Village, and afterward, I ended up in Hope Village."

"No wonder you seemed so impassioned when you spoke."

"Aggressive territories should be condemned by everyone."

"Now everyone can relax! Just enjoy the show, Hope Village definitely won't hold us accountable."

"They wouldn't anyway, we are from native territories!"

"Ah, I'm new here, why are there so many people?"

"Let me tell you..."

"..."

The crowd of onlookers grew non-stop, and even though soldiers were maintaining order and guiding the flow of people out, the gossipers remained in abundance.

Gossip is in the nature of c-nation people!

Meanwhile, amid the onlookers, Zhou Bai had already led people into the epicenter of the incident.

Upon entering, the newcomers immediately surrounded Wolf and his group.

Then Zhou Bai looked at Wolf with a commanding presence and directly said, "Drop your weapons, or I won't be polite!"
