I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 764 - 383: The Tug-of-War Between Two Territories

Chapter 764: Chapter 383: The Tug-of-War Between Two Territories

After calculating in his mind, Wolf immediately summoned three people.

The three summoned were Wolf’s confidants, yet they maintained a certain distance compared to Aiden.

They had already guessed that something had happened to Aiden and felt a bit panicked internally.

Because the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

On normal days, they would bravely assault without hesitation because they trusted the territory implicitly.

Fighting for the territory, even unto death, they knew their fate wouldn’t be terrible.

But now, with the territory in dire straits and at risk of being breached at any moment, if they died, would they still receive the territory’s rewards? Without them, what would happen to their families?

Thinking such thoughts, everyone maintained a normal appearance on the surface.

They knew very well they couldn’t show their feelings in front of Wolf; otherwise... Wolf wouldn’t spare them.

"Worley, Norris, I have a task for you two," Wolf said directly, "each of you take a thousand men and attempt to strike from both sides of Hope Village’s forces. Cause a distraction, draw their attention, and if possible, lure some of them away."

Worley and Norris listened, paused, and then both responded with an "Understood."

Fortunately, it wasn’t a suicidal mission; it was just to divide the opponent’s attention.

And it also meant that Lord had made a decision.

Indeed, the fierce offensive from Hope Village didn’t mean they could immediately breach into their territory; as long as they could delay, their territory could still hold.

As long as they held out, their territory would have a chance to rise again.

They were also aware that their territory had a supporter that could provide resources.

The two immediately left to prepare.

Watching their departing figures, Wolf’s gaze was deep and thoughtful.

As Lord, how could he not understand their thoughts?

It was precisely because they harbored selfish intentions and couldn’t devote themselves wholeheartedly to the territory that he couldn’t fully trust them and always relied on Aiden.

Of course, he didn’t mind; after all, as long as people were used wisely, that was all that mattered.

After the two had left with their troops, Wolf’s gaze turned to the last person remaining, Nicholas.

"Nicholas, I have an important task for you. Can you do it?" Wolf asked without specifying the mission.

"Yes!" Nicholas answered without hesitation.

He was here already; he had no choice but to obey.

Listening, Wolf smiled and then produced a bag in his hand, which he handed to Nicholas.

"Open it and take a look."

Nicholas took the bag, untied the rope, and when he saw what was inside, his hands couldn’t help but tremble.

"Don’t drop it; if you do, both our lives will be in danger," Wolf said with a clearly playful smile on his face.

That smile almost sent Nicholas over the edge.

He didn’t understand how his Lord could hand over something so dangerous and precious so casually.

"Lord, this..." Nicholas felt an ominous premonition.

This task from Lord might be a significant one.

"Take these and place them inside the buildings in the territory," Wolf commanded.

Nicholas: "..."

Nicholas was truly stunned. Place them in the territory’s buildings; was Lord planning to blow them up?

But he dared not ask.

Seeing Wolf’s calm expression, Nicholas was deeply shaken.

In reality, Lord’s stance was clear; he had no intention of explaining.

And Nicholas just needed to follow orders.

After pressing his lips together, Nicholas nodded, "Understood."

Immediately, Nicholas took the bag and carefully left with it.

He was to place these Black Stones into the public buildings without anyone noticing.

The substance in his hands, called Black Stone, was an incredibly unstable mineral that could explode with a bit of heat.

Relative to that, the explosive force of the mineral was focused at the point of contact; the closer to the Black Stone, the greater the power felt.

Also, this Black Stone was scarce and extremely valuable on the market because, in critical moments, it could be life-saving.
