Stonehammer and Zhao Hai were sitting in the room drinking tea. When Stonehammer saw that Zhao Hai wasn't worried at all, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, isn't it a bit too hasty to make a move now?"
Naturally, Zhao Hai knew what Stonehammer was talking about. What Stonehammer was talking about was the 15 cities joining the Lost Soul city-state. Now that the war had just started in Puhe City, the other cities were already joining the Lost Soul city-state. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Hai wanted to use this opportunity to expand his territory.
Zhao Hai replied, "In any case, we'll have to make a move sooner or later. If we make a move now, then after the battle with the Holy Court, everyone would forget about this matter. If we make a move later, then when the Holy Court retreats, they would immediately remember this matter. At that time, we would be in big trouble." Zhao Hai nodded, "That's right.
Stonehammer nodded, he wasn't very worried. He was just afraid that this would affect Zhao Hai's reputation. Now that Zhao Hai said this, he naturally wouldn't say anything.
Stonehammer looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, how do we deal with the situation in Puhe City? If the Holy Court really sends troops to attack the Lost Soul city-state, then what should we do? "
Zhao Hai replied, "You don't need to worry about this, I've already made arrangements for the family. We still have more than 100 Void Dance Experts in the family. These experts are now concentrated in Spirit Snake City, but we don't care about the other cities. Currently, there are troops stationed in each city. Even if the Holy Court sends people, it would be impossible for them to capture the other cities. When the time comes, even if our Void Dance Experts go to support them, they wouldn't have any benefits. Don't think that the Holy Court has a lot of Void Dance Experts, it's impossible for them to gather all of their experts to deal with us. Moreover, even if they do gather all of their experts to deal with us, there's no need to worry. Wen Wenhai and the others are stationed in the mountain base. When necessary, they would immediately provide support. However, I still don't want them to expose themselves so quickly.
Stonehammer nodded, he now understood Zhao Hai's plan. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, there's no need to worry about the family. What about here? How are we going to deal with the situation in Puhe City? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to worry about this. Let's just drag it out. If the Holy Court can't take down Puhe City, then they wouldn't be satisfied. We don't need to rush back. As long as we're here, Puhe City will certainly fight the Holy Court to the end. With them here, it's impossible for the Holy Court to focus all of their attention on us. Let's see if the Holy Court can afford to drag it out."
Stonehammer said, "But dragging it out won't do us any good. We can afford to drag it out, but can Puhe City do the same? I'm afraid that they won't be able to afford it. If they surrender, then what should we do? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "They won't surrender. This time, the Holy Court clearly wants to use them to establish their prestige. How could they surrender? Moreover, the crime that the Holy Court used this time is the death penalty for killing Tang Fei. Lu Jinyan was very clear that from the moment he was charged with this crime, there was no possibility of him surrendering. He can only walk this path to the end. Stonehammer, do you know why I'm dragging it out? If I'm not dragging the Holy Court, then I'm dragging Puhe City. "
Stonehammer stared, then his expression changed as he said, "Young Master, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid that no one would think that I'm planning to take over Puhe City. We're too far away from Puhe City. Even if we take over Puhe City, it wouldn't be easy for us to manage it. But what they don't know is that we can make portable transmission formations, many of them. Hahaha. As long as we have portable transmission formations, what difference would there be between Puhe City and the other cities in Lost Soul City? Therefore, what we need to do now is to delay the Puhe City-State. If the Puhe City-State can't afford to delay any longer, then they only have two options left. First, they can surrender to the Sacred Institute. But we already said that this is impossible. So the only option left for them is to surrender to us. "
Stonehammer's eyes lit up, then he said, "I understand. But Young Master, Puhe City also has a River Breaking Ancestor. How can they surrender to us so easily?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "So what if they have a River Breaking Ancestor? Do you think we don't have one? We certainly have more River Breaking Experts compared to them. Therefore, their best option is to surrender to us. Moreover, even if they don't surrender to us, we won't lose anything. We've already earned our reputation, right? "
Stonehammer nodded, then he let out a long breath and said, "Young Master, you should rest early. Maybe there will be reinforcements tomorrow. Moreover, I can see that City Lord Lu is relying on you. I'm afraid you'll be busy."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, you can go rest." Stonehammer nodded, then he turned around and left.
The next morning, Zhao Hai woke up early. Naturally, a servant brought him breakfast. After eating, Zhao Hai was about to go outside when he suddenly saw Lu Jinyan walking towards him. This made Zhao Hai stare. Yesterday, Lu Jinyan came looking for him to have a meal together. But today, Zhao Hai already had breakfast, so what was Lu Jinyan doing here? Shouldn't he be busy with a lot of things right now? Although Zhao Hai didn't understand Lu Jinyan's intentions, he was still in Puhe City. Lu Jinyan was the City Lord, so Zhao Hai had to give him some face.
Zhao Hai quickly greeted Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Lu, why did you come here? If there's something you need, you can just send someone to look for me. Why did you come here personally? "
Lu Jinyan replied, "City Lord Zhao, let's talk inside." Zhao Hai looked at Chen Guohua behind Lu Jinyan and nodded. Then he led the two into the room. At this time, Stonehammer wasn't here. He had already gone to the army camp yesterday. There were still a lot of things for him to deal with.
After the three sat down in the room, Zhao Hai looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Lu, if you have something to say, please say it."
Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai and took a deep breath. Then he said, "City Lord Zhao, I came here today because I have something to ask of you. I hope that City Lord Zhao can agree to it."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then he frowned and said, "City Lord Lu, please speak frankly."
Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, you should be aware of the current situation in Puhe City. To be honest, my ability is limited. I don't have any way to deal with the Holy Court's attack. Therefore, I came here today to ask City Lord Zhao to stay and help me deal with the Holy Court's attack. I guarantee that from today onwards, City Lord Zhao will be our leader. I hope that City Lord Zhao can help us."
Zhao Hai stared blankly. He looked at Lu Jinyan, wanting to see some clues from his face. However, Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai with a straight face. It didn't seem like he was trying to trick him. This made Zhao Hai stare blankly.
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Lu, I can help you. But from what I heard, it seems like you want me to take full command of the army? This is Puhe City. If I take full command, wouldn't that be overstepping my authority? I can't agree to your request. If I agree, what would others think of me? What kind of person would I, Zhao Hai become? No, absolutely not. "
Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, you have seen how the Holy Court's attack is. To be honest, if you didn't remind us yesterday, we would've been in danger. I really don't have any ability to command. Now that we have a common enemy, the Holy Court, dealing with the Holy Court is our top priority. Therefore, I hope that you can take command. Also, this is Puhe City, I asked you to take command. What qualifications do other people have to say?"
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Jinyan. He discovered that Lu Jinyan wasn't joking, he really wanted him to take command. This made Zhao Hai's heart turn cold. He suspected that this was Lu Jinyan's scheme. Did Lu Jinyan discover that he wanted to swallow Puhe City, so he deliberately made such a scheme?
Then Zhao Hai paid attention to Chen Guohua's complexion. Naturally, he didn't openly stare at Chen Guohua. On the contrary, he used his spiritual force to observe Chen Guohua. Zhao Hai knew that Lu Jinyan trusted Chen Guohua. If Lu Jinyan had a scheme, then Chen Guohua would certainly know about it. Lu Jinyan didn't have any flaws, but that didn't mean that Chen Guohua didn't have any flaws. Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to see if he could find any flaws in Chen Guohua.
Chen Guohua also didn't have any flaws. This made Zhao Hai ponder. To be honest, if Lu Jinyan didn't do this, then he would've followed his original plan and dragged Puhe City to see if he could swallow it. But now that Lu Jinyan did this, Zhao Hai didn't know what to do. Lu Jinyan gave Zhao Hai full command and also said that everyone in Puhe City would listen to Zhao Hai. This made Zhao Hai feel embarrassed. In this case, if he were to drag things out, then he would be too unreasonable.
But if he didn't drag things out, then it would change his plan. Moreover, even if he were to help Puhe City defeat the Holy Court, he would still be blamed by the people in Puhe City.
However, Zhao Hai was such a person. If Lu Jinyan didn't ask him nicely, then Zhao Hai wouldn't have any psychological burden. But now that Lu Jinyan did this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If he were to take command, then he would certainly do his best to help Puhe City defeat the Holy Court. As for the matter of annexing Puhe City, Zhao Hai was afraid that he would have to put it aside.
However, Zhao Hai still looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Lu, did you really decide to give me full command of the battle against the Holy Court? Will everyone in Puhe City listen to me? Don't you regret this? "
Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, although I, Lu Jinyan, am not a heroic figure, but I still keep my word. I said that I will give you full command of the battle, so I will give you full command. Please don't doubt me. As long as you nod, I will immediately announce this matter to the public. I won't regret it!"
