Chapter 773: Chapter 386: We Surrender???

With a myriad of thoughts swirling in Worley and Norris’s minds, they had already returned to Wolf’s side.

Watching their arrival, Wolf asked indifferently, “What were you just discussing?”

Obviously, even though Wolf wasn’t by their side, he had his agents somewhere in the territory.

Nicholas glanced at the two men and said directly, “They just wanted to ask me for a favor.”

“Did you agree?” Wolf inquired.

“I didn’t agree, but since I accepted their gifts, I offered them a piece of advice,” Nicholas responded truthfully.

He was telling the truth, but intentionally concealed the specifics.

“Is that so?” Wolf looked towards Worley and Norris.

After exchanging a look with Nicholas, both Worley and Norris nodded, “That’s right.”

After hearing their response, Wolf didn’t say anything more.

He could feel that they weren’t lying, but whether they hid something was irrelevant at this moment.

After all, he needed them to fight desperately for him; being too petty wouldn’t be ideal.

“How are the preparations?” Wolf asked.

“We’ve already gathered the personnel,” Worley said. “I’ve assembled more than 1500 people on my side.”

“I have over 1300 people.”

“I’ll give each of you another 1000 slaves. I’ll send someone to make a feint attack on the left, and you’ll pierce from the right. Do everything you can to take care of Zhou Bai,” Wolf said, handing each man a backpack as he spoke.

When they took the backpacks, they looked inside and immediately saw the platinum-level defense equipment and a plentiful supply of Black Stone.

The sight of the Black Stone caused their pupils to constrict involuntarily.

Nicholas hadn’t lied to them.

“These are Black Stones. When you get close to Zhou Bai, just toss a flame at her, and you’ll definitely blast her into critical injury if not death,” Wolf said, as if imaging the scene, his whole being lighting up with excitement, “If she dies, we win this battle of defense, and you’ll be the heroes of the territory. I will bestow upon you the highest honor.”

At that moment, Wolf’s tone carried complete seduction.

Under normal circumstances, Worley and Norris would surely be swayed by such seduction, as they always coveted a bright future.

But having learned from Nicholas, their minds were exceptionally clear now.

Yet, although this was on their minds, on the surface, they seemed as thrilled as ever.

“Lord, we will complete the mission well,” they said excitedly.

Wolf, pleased with their attitude, nodded, “There are also many Recovery Potions in there. Take good care of yourselves, I’ll be waiting for your return.”

“Yes.” After replying, Worley and Norris left with their items, carrying Wolf’s orders, and led their assigned slaves away. They then commanded the captains of each squad to take their men and set off in a grand procession.

As they were about to depart, they keenly noticed their families near the city gates.

The presence of their families wasn’t a send-off but a warning.

Because they could clearly see soldiers guarding their families.

At that moment, Worley and Norris’s emotions were complex.

The Lord had never truly trusted them.

After gazing deeply at their families one last time, the two men walked away without looking back, leading the soldiers and slaves.

Shortly after, they led the entire group out of the territory from the side and slowly approached the formation of Hope Village, though they slowed down their pace overall.

They were waiting, waiting for the Lord’s commands.

During this process, Worley and Norris began to confer.

“What’s your choice?” Worley started.

“What about you?” Norris asked in return.

“I want to listen to Nicholas. You saw the combat power of Hope Village just now; it can’t be underestimated, and we probably won’t be able to get close to the Hope Village Chief,” Worley said, “The Lord is prepared to give up this territory, which only proves that he also sees the strength of Hope Village.”

Both noticed that for this battle against Fasal Village, Hope Village had truly gone all out.

Up until now, their supply of arrows, stone, and the soldiers’ Golden Weapons along with Purple Equipment had not ceased, all indicating their substantial investment.

With such an immense price paid, would attacking the Hope Village Chief even be useful?
