When he heard Lu Jinyan, Zhao was completely relieved. If Lu Jinyan only told Zhao about it, then he might regret it. But if Lu Jinyan made this matter public, then it would be completely different. Lu Jinyan didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "Alright, since City Lord Lu trusts me, then I won't be polite. For the time being, I'll be in charge of Puhe City. Now, City Lord Lu can go and make the announcement. After that, I'll have a task to assign."
Lu Jinyan suddenly stood up, then he laughed and said, "Alright, I've been waiting for Mister's words. Mister, let's go." Then he grabbed Zhao Hai's hand and walked out.
One must know that to hold someone's hand like this, one must have a very good relationship. It must be known that the two of them had a very good relationship, just like brothers.
Before long, Lu Jinyan led Zhao Hai to the City Lord's Mansion's meeting room. Then Lu Jinyan summoned all the officials of Puhe City, as well as Sky Dance Realm experts, to the hall. Fortunately, this hall was equivalent to the Imperial Family's meeting room, it was big enough. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to hold so many people.
After everyone arrived, Lu Jinyan led Zhao Hai and Chen Guohua into the hall. At this time, Stonehammer, as the representative of Lost Soul City, also arrived.
After Lu Jinyan arrived at the hall, he looked at the people inside and said, "Everyone knows what happened. The Sacred Academy said that we killed their people and used force against our Puhe City. Yesterday, they even attacked us several times. We can't swallow this, but I have to say that the current situation is very unfavorable for us. Yesterday, I made a mistake in my command, allowing the enemy to take advantage of a loophole and almost broke into the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone, don't think that the Sacred Academy will be fine just because they killed me. This time, the Sacred Academy has accused us of killing their people, and it's impossible for me to do it alone. So even if they kill me, they won't let anyone off. This time, we have no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death with the Sacred Academy."
We have no choice but to kill the Sacred Academy. "Although Lu Jinyan's words sounded strange, it was exactly what the people of Puhe City were thinking. In fact, there were still some experts from Puhe City who didn't want to be enemies with the Sacred Academy. They still wanted to make peace with the Sacred Academy. But now that Lu Jinyan said this, they understood that they didn't have the qualifications to negotiate with the Sacred Academy. Even their fate was already decided by the Sacred Academy. When they attacked Tang Fei's team, they already had no way out.
Lu Jinyan looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, to be honest, my command ability isn't enough to deal with the Sacred Academy's attack. Yesterday's matter is proof of that. But fortunately, City Lord Zhao Hai came to our aid and we managed to survive a day. But I also know that I'm no longer suitable to command everyone. If I were to command everyone, then our losses would be even greater. Therefore, I have decided that from today onwards, I will hand over the command to City Lord Zhao Hai. Everyone in Puhe City, including myself, will listen to City Lord Zhao Hai's command. Does anyone have any objections?"
Upon hearing Lu Jinyan, the crowd went into an uproar. They didn't think that Lu Jinyan would say such a thing. This made them very surprised.
Lu Jinyan looked at the crowd and said, "Quiet down. If anyone has any objections, then speak to me one by one."
Everyone looked at each other, they didn't know what to say. Yesterday, they saw Zhao Hai coming to their aid. To be honest, they were very grateful to Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai didn't come to their aid in time, then they would've been in danger. Moreover, they had also seen Zhao Hai's command ability. To be honest, letting Zhao Hai command them was the best choice.
If you want to say that Zhao Hai wasn't a citizen of Puhe City-State, then it wouldn't make sense that he couldn't command them. Puhe City-State belonged to the Lu Family, and now that Lu Jinyan had agreed to accept Zhao Hai's command, could it be that Zhao Hai cared more about Puhe City-State than Lu Jinyan? Since City Lord Lu agreed to let someone else command them, then wouldn't it be too high profile if you opposed it? Moreover, if you opposed it, then you would offend Zhao Hai. From the looks of it, Zhao Hai's command was already a foregone conclusion. If you offend Zhao Hai at this time, then what would you do if he gave you a certain death mission? The reason why everyone was in an uproar was because this news was too sudden. They didn't have time to react. Now that they reacted, then they would naturally consider the pros and cons.
Seeing that nobody was speaking, Lu Jinyan opened his mouth and said, "Alright, since nobody opposed it, then it's settled. From now on, everyone in Puhe City will listen to City Lord Zhao Hai. City Lord Zhao Hai's words are my words. If anyone doesn't listen, then I won't spare them." Everyone bowed.
Shi Chui was also shocked by this sudden change. However, he was only stunned for a moment, he didn't show it. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and waited for Zhao Hai's instructions.
First, from today onwards, all of the garrisons in the other cities of Puhe City-State will be transferred to Puhe City. All of the other cities' operations will be temporarily handed over to minor officials. Second, the family members of the high ranking officials of Puhe City-State must be brought to Puhe City as soon as possible. Third, evacuate a portion of Puhe City's populace, the elderly and the weak as much as possible. Fourth, gather all of the provisions and other war materials in Puhe City and use the transmission formations in all the cities. Let's do these four things first. "
Along with Zhao Hai's words, the entire Great Hall became so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Nobody thought that Zhao Hai would give these four orders. Some of these four orders were understandable, but some of them were incomprehensible.
A City Lord of Puhe City looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, why do you want to transfer the troops of the other cities to Puhe City? I don't understand. Do you want us to give up on those cities? "
The other people of Puhe City also looked at Zhao Hai, they wanted to see what Zhao Hai would say. They were all people of Puhe City, they didn't want to give up on the other cities. If Zhao Hai really wanted to give up, then they wouldn't agree.
Lu Jinyan didn't say anything, he also wanted to listen to Zhao Hai's explanation. To be honest, he was also dissatisfied with Zhao Hai's orders. As the City Lord of Puhe City, he naturally didn't want to give up an inch of land.
Zhao Hai looked at the man and said, "This isn't giving up, it's just that we don't want to be too passive. Since everyone still doesn't understand, I'll explain it to everyone in detail. Our opponent this time isn't the other city-states, we aren't fighting for territory, cities, population, and resources. Because the Sacred Courtyard wants to take revenge, they attacked us. The Sacred Courtyard is different from the other city-states, it's impossible for them to occupy a city and not leave. They only want to deal with us. Therefore, we decided to concentrate all of our troops in Puhe City in order to fight the Sacred Courtyard to the death. Since the other cities don't have any troops, the Sacred Courtyard wouldn't use this as an excuse to attack other cities. In fact, by concentrating all of our troops in Puhe City, the other cities would be safer." Zhao Hai looked at the man and said, "The Sacred Courtyard is different from the other city-states.
When everyone heard Zhao Hai's words, they stared. Then they thought about it and felt that Zhao Hai's words were reasonable. Therefore, they nodded and didn't object.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Naturally, this doesn't rule out the possibility of other city-states taking advantage of the situation. But right now, we are facing the Holy Academy, the common enemy of the Holy Academy Alliance. At this time, the other city-states wouldn't reach out to Puhe City. Even if they attack those cities, they wouldn't be able to defend them. As long as we can repel the Holy Academy, then we can take back those cities. But if we don't gather our people in Puhe City, then the Holy Academy Alliance would have an excuse to attack those cities. They would say that there are enemies in those cities, so they can attack those cities. As a result, those cities would be in even more danger. Moreover, they would also injure our strength, which would also have a huge impact on the morale of our ordinary troops." Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "But if we don't gather our people in Puhe City, then the Holy Academy Alliance would have an excuse to attack those cities.
This will greatly affect the morale of our troops. "Everyone was speechless. Zhao Hai's words were right, but in fact, this was also a very shameless approach. Didn't the Sacred Institute always act like a saint? Alright, apart from Puhe City, the other cities don't have any garrisons. If you have the guts, then go ahead and attack those cities. I want to see how you will explain this to the world. In this case, the Sacred Institute will absolutely not attack those cities. Aside from attacking Puhe City, they don't have any other good methods.
And in Puhe City, almost all the troops of Puhe City were concentrated there. Even if the other city-states didn't come to support them, they could still rely on these troops to fight against the Sacred Institute. And with the cooperation of the Wu Sky Realm experts, it would be very difficult for the Sacred Institute to deal with them.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone's expression and said, "This is the first step. If the Holy Academy intends to fight a protracted war with us, then we will suffer a lot. They might even divide their army and attack other city-states, forcing the other city-states' reinforcements to return to their own city-states. But I think that in order to deal with this situation, if we blindly follow the Holy Academy's arrangements, then we will certainly suffer a loss. Therefore, if the reinforcements are willing to listen to us, then we won't support the other city-states that are under attack by Puhe City. We won't even have to fight with the Void Dance Experts of the Holy Academy. Instead, we will concentrate all our experts and attack the Holy Academy directly. When the time comes, I want to see how the Void Dance Experts of the Holy Academy will respond."
