I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 366 - 210: Hope Village, Seems a Bit Formidable

"Laughing? What’s so funny? If you can’t understand human speech, then stop listening! Make way!" Quan Ziqiang coldly commanded, his politeness from earlier completely vanished, carrying a glaring hint of anger as he unsheathed his sword, pointing it ahead. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Giving him face and he doesn’t take it, why should I continue to show kindness.

And it wasn’t just Quan Ziqiang who thought this way — the other soldiers did too.

They understood that goblins have a rough time in this world and forgave the misunderstanding, believing it to be natural human behavior, which is why they were willing to explain, to make their stance clear.

But their attempt at explanation was taken as a joke by the others, not earning a shred of respect. Was there still any need for negotiation?

No!

And from the very beginning, it was these few teams with ill intentions that blocked their path, not having their own thoughts about being scared would be false.

If they showed weakness, the other side would bully them even more.

The soldiers behind quickly drew their weapons, clearly stating their stance.

There was an oppressive feeling that if the others didn’t step aside, they would engage immediately.

The atmosphere at the scene froze in an instant with that sentence and action.

The smiling Mercenary Team couldn’t help but contain their amusement.

Andres watched Quan Ziqiang in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

Yes, even though Quan Ziqiang spoke seriously, their preconceived notions about goblins didn’t change at all.

"What do you think?" Quan Ziqiang retorted, then with a surge of momentum, he declared, "Now, are you going to make way and let us return to our territory, or do we just brawl right here?"

Come to think of it, they had never truly faced off against the native residents!

In the Training Camp their simulated opponents had been beaten numerous times, and they had long been capable of engaging in combat above their level.

At that moment, several belligerent teams in the soldier team were itching to put everything they had learned at the Training Camp into practice.

"Let’s fight, are we afraid of you?"

"We have way more people than you do."

"Can you even beat us?"

"..."

The mercenaries weren’t all good-tempered either, and with the provocation, their heads got heated in an instant, each drawing their weapons and making threats.

"Let’s make it quick and run after robbing them! Selling off this bunch of goblins will make us rich in minutes," a nearby Mercenary Team Captain, Hashim, said, his eyes shining as he whispered to Andres.

They had heard of the reputation of Hope Village from other Mercenary Teams and came because of it, having not truly seen the treasures of Hope Village. But in thinking about it, even the best bounties from a Level 2 village couldn’t surpass the profit from capturing a group of goblins.

Capitalizing on the element of surprise, they would grab and run; once the uproar settled down, it wouldn’t be too late to return to this territory.

As Andres listened, a flicker of temptation crossed his eyes.

He was indeed somewhat tempted.

But he didn’t forget that this was within the range of Hope Village’s territory, and everyone knew that to fight within a territory was tantamount to provocation.

The territory then had the right to punish them in accordance with its laws.

There were risks involved.

No matter how small, a territory was still a territory, and its lord a natural noble.

Andres thought for a moment and then shook his head, rejecting the idea, "Forget it, I won’t participate."

He could sense that the opponent’s level was lower than their whole team, and it was precisely because of this it seemed so eerie. With such clear disparity and yet so firm an attitude, there had to be a catch.

Caution above all else!

Moreover, he and Hashim’s team’s partnership was merely a chance encounter; the two opposing teams were clearly acquainted, and after collaborating and leaving, who knows who would rob whom!

Saying this, Andres led his team to make way in front.

Seeing Andres give up, Hashim exchanged glances with another Mercenary Team Captain, then made a gesture to his mercenaries. Instantly, those mercenaries filled the gap left by Andres’ team.

With this simple move, Quan Ziqiang immediately noticed something was off.

His eyes narrowed slightly; originally he was only intending to bluff, but now the other side was getting serious!

Could they avoid conflict?

No!

After all, they were within their own territory, and very soon, a patrolling soldier team would arrive, ensuring their victory.

Weighing the pros and cons, Quan Ziqiang decided to strike preemptively.

"Attack!"

As soon as this command was given, every soldier on the team sprang into action.
