I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 768 - 384: The Decisive Moment is Approaching_2

Hope Village was thoroughly prepared this time.

It was utterly different from the beginning.

Norris couldn’t help but start calculating in his mind.

Under these circumstances, what were the chances that they could break through the soldiers’ defense and reach their rear?

Soon, Norris had the answer, almost negligible.

Unless...

Norris sighed deeply in his heart and quickly gave his troops new instructions.

Retreat while fighting, lure the enemy deeper.

Upon receiving the instructions, the soldiers from Fasal Village started to retreat immediately, but the pace of the retreat was relatively slow, discreetly luring Maimaiti and Lucian and others.

Maimaiti and Lucian, eager to earn merit, completely failed to notice the subtle tactics of Fasal’s soldiers.

Or perhaps, it was because of Cao Jingshan’s joining that made them think the soldiers from Fasal Village were being driven back.

Now, the only thought in their minds was to kill as many enemies as possible, and capturing them would be fine too.

Thus, Maimaiti and Lucian’s battle line got extended, with Cao Jingshan leading his Bowman Team and several other small teams chasing after them.

The other side wanted to draw them away, but they could also turn the tables.

After all, the front-line battle now had the advantage with siege weapons enhancing their power, and their absence wouldn’t affect the overall situation.

Watching the soldiers from Hope Village chasing them, Norris’s gaze was continuously flickering.

"They are catching up," one soldier reported to Norris in a slightly panicked tone.

Because of Norris’s order, they didn’t speed up the retreat. This half-enticing retreat, although achieving its purpose, also increased the number of casualties. The faster the enemy caught up, the more deaths there were.

If this continued, many more of them would die.

They had to consult Norris.

Hearing the soldier’s words, Norris reassured directly, "If you sacrifice yourselves, the territory will provide you with a generous pension. You are dying for the territory, and the territory will not forget your contribution."

These words quickly spread among the team.

Those running at the rear of the team were struggling fiercely, yet couldn’t help feeling aggrieved inside.

Why should they be the ones to sacrifice! They could have escaped.

Maimaiti and Lucian naturally noticed the commotion here, and saw some soldiers increasing their resistance.

Clearly, they realized they had been abandoned. If they wanted to survive, they had to rely on themselves.

However, Maimaiti and Lucian saw in them the shadow of the soldiers from Barnes Village.

Fasal Village was inhuman, but they in Hope Village were humane!

Originally, Hope Village could send people to poach Barnes Village’s corners, so now, as part of Hope Village, why couldn’t they poach a bit from Fasal Village?

Exchanging glances subtly, the two reached an understanding.

"Surrender and you won’t be killed," Maimaiti shouted loudly, "Just lay down your weapons and surrender, and we’ll spare you. Hope Village will not mistreat the captives." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Maimaiti’s words instantly created a huge reaction among the two teams.

On Hope Village’s side, the Mercenary Team members were very used to shouting, "Surrender and you won’t be killed."

These four words still had some power, and instantly, the resistance from many Fasal Village soldiers seemed somewhat weakened.

Hearing this, Norris’s expression changed slightly, and he directly said, "Hope Village just bait-killed surrendered slaves from Fasal Village; they are untrustworthy. Retreat at full speed."

It was his first time seeing a team on the battlefield surrender so openly, knowing that deceitful surrender was common, with incidents of deceivers entering and then rebelling within the enemy ranks.

But since Hope Village did so, he only had to adjust his plans promptly.

Otherwise, if people were deceived away, it would be even more difficult to explain when he returned.

Hearing Norris’s order to retreat at full speed, the Fasal Village soldiers whose spirits had been wavering immediately suppressed their fanciful thoughts, quickly put on various defensive gear and protective shields, and started to retreat at full speed.

If there was a chance to live, naturally choosing their own territory was better.

Thus, Norris and his group’s speed of retreat instantly increased.

As their pace quickened, Maimaiti and Lucian suddenly realized something.
