Everyone stared, they didn't think that Zhao Hai would come up with such a method. However, they had to admit that this method might really work.
Yes, the defensive line of the Alliance against the Sacred Academy was too long. The Sacred Academy could attack any city at any time, so they had no choice but to defend themselves. This would lead to a situation where there were loopholes everywhere.
But at the same time, the Sacred Academy wasn't without weaknesses. Everyone knew that if they really attacked the Sacred Academy, then they would definitely find their target.
It's just that nobody thought about attacking the Sacred Academy. After all, the Sacred Academy was a sacred place in everyone's heart. Even if everyone was unhappy with the Sacred Academy, nobody thought about attacking it. But now, Zhao Hai's words seemed to have opened Pandora's box. It opened everyone's mind. They suddenly discovered that they were now enemies of the Sacred Academy. So attacking the Sacred Academy wasn't a problem at all.
Everyone was silent for some time, but their eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Looking at their expressions, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. He knew that he had succeeded.
Lu Jinyan let out a long breath, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao has already explained to everyone. Does anyone have anything else to say?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Zhao has already explained to everyone.
Everyone shook their heads. Lu Jinyan looked at everyone and said, "If there's nothing else to say, then do as City Lord Zhao said. Gather the troops of each city. Guohua, I'll leave the migration of the civilians to you. Make sure that everyone is willing to leave."
Chen Guohua nodded. Zhao Hai looked at Chen Guohua and said, "Mister Chen, if there's a problem with the migration of the civilians, then you can send them to the Lost Soul City-State. I'll have the Lost Soul City-State prepare to receive them."
When Chen Guohua heard Zhao Hai, he immediately cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Mister." Chen Guohua thanked Zhao Hai. It wasn't without reason. Transferring the people from the city wouldn't be a problem, but after transferring them, what would happen to their livelihood? The people of Puhe City lived in Puhe City. Their livelihood was also in Puhe City. Making them leave their homes was the same as making them give up their livelihood. In the Spiritual Weapon Realm, civilians didn't have any savings. When they arrived in a new city, they would need to spend money on food and clothing. Even if they had some savings, they wouldn't be able to support themselves for a long time. If they don't have a livelihood, then they can only wait to starve to death.
It was precisely because of this that any city that accepted these people would face a lot of pressure because these people were a burden no matter which city they went to.
At this time, the Lost Soul City-State was willing to accept these people. This in itself wasn't an easy matter. Because of this, Chen Guohua thanked Zhao Hai.
Actually, Zhao Hai also had his reasons for doing this. The Lost Soul City-State was developing very well. They didn't lack money, but they lacked people. After many years of war, the Lost Soul City-State lost a lot of people. Because of this, the Lost Soul City-State was now lacking people.
Although there were a lot of people from other city-states who moved to the Lost Soul City-State, most of them were merchants. There weren't many civilians. This was because unlike the Lost Soul City-State, the Lost Soul City-State's Transmission Formation was free. However, the other city-states' Transmission Formations required money. A lot of civilians simply couldn't afford to use the Transmission Formations.
If these civilians couldn't afford to use the Transmission Formations, then they wouldn't be able to go to the Lost Soul City-State. This was a big problem for the Lost Soul City-State.
Now that the Puhe City-State wanted to move people outside, these people might be a burden in other cities, but not in the Lost Soul City-State. On the contrary, for the Lost Soul City-State, these people were exactly what they needed.
The other people from the Puhe City-State also left. They still had a lot of things to take care of, so they couldn't stay here all the time. Therefore, they gave Zhao Hai and Lu Jinyan a salute before they turned around and left.
After Zhao Hai looked at these people leave, he turned to Lu Jinyan and said, "City Lord Lu, you also have a task today. It's to receive the reinforcements from the other city-states. This matter belongs to City Lord Lu."
Lu Jinyan smiled faintly and said, "Alright, leave this matter to me. It seems like City Lord Zhao really knows how to command better than me. With your arrangement, even if there are no reinforcements, it wouldn't be easy for the Sacred Court to attack us."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's not that easy. If I was the Sacred Court, then I would have to think of another way."
Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What way? City Lord Zhao, can you tell me about it? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do. I don't know what those fellows from the Sacred Courtyard can do. In fact, the Sacred Courtyard has already made more than one mistake. If they didn't make any mistakes, then our days would be even more difficult. Forget it, let's wait and see what they do next." Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that.
Lu Jinyan nodded, then he said, "City Lord Zhao, please come to my study today. Once they're done with their matters, they'll report back to you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, City Lord Lu, please come with me to my study. After all, this is the Puhe City-State. Although I'm commanding everyone, if there's anything I can't think of, then I'll have to ask City Lord Lu to remind me. After all, you're much more familiar with the Puhe City-State compared to us."
Lu Jinyan smiled and said, "Alright, let's go together. I'll have someone brew a pot of tea. We'll drink and chat."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he said, "Alright, but I'll have to make arrangements for the Lost Soul City-State. Stone Hammer, you'll have to arrange a team of 50 Void Experts to go out of the city and scout. See if you can find the location of those Holy Characters." Stone Hammer nodded, then he turned around and left.
After he said that, Zhao Hai followed Lu Jinyan to the study. Lu Jinyan immediately had someone serve tea. The two drank tea while chatting. Before long, a servant came to report that reinforcements from other cities had arrived. Lu Jinyan immediately went to greet them, but Zhao Hai didn't.
Not long after Lu Jinyan left, he brought someone back to the study. When the person followed Lu Jinyan to the study, he saw Zhao Hai drinking tea. The person looked at Zhao Hai, then he immediately cupped his fist and said, "Galloping Horse City's Liu Jun has seen City Lord Zhao Hai."
Zhao Hai quickly stood up and returned the greeting, "Mister Liu is too polite. Zhao Hai is also too polite."
Lu Jinyan smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Then he pulled the two to sit down.
After the two sat down, Zhao Hai turned to Liu Jun and said, "Our Lost Soul City has a lot of cooperation with Ben Ma City. I heard from the people of Ben Ma City that Mister Liu is very famous in Ben Ma City. Mister Liu's name is like thunder in my ears." Liu Jun nodded and said, "You're a member of the Ben Ma City Gang.
Liu Jun smiled and said, "City Lord Zhao is too polite. My insignificant reputation can't be compared to City Lord Zhao's. This is the first time City Lord Zhao stood up and publicly criticized the Sacred Academy. You're also the first to support Puhe City. You're really a role model."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he said, "Mister Liu is too polite. Puhe City-State is a member of the Anti-Holy Alliance, and our Lost Soul City-State is one of the organizers of the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance. Now that Puhe City-State is in trouble, how can we just ignore it? As for publicly criticizing the Holy Academy, that doesn't count for much. We already organized the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance, so why would we care about adding another accusation?"
Liu Jun laughed and said, "There are several organizers of the Anti-Holy Alliance. However, the first to stand up and publicly criticize the Sacred Academy and support Puhe City was the Lost Soul City. This is something that no one can compare to."
Lu Jinyan smiled and said, "Mister Liu is right. If it weren't for City Lord Zhao's timely arrival, then we would've been in danger. Yesterday, the Holy Academy's army divided into two groups. One group came from the sky, which we sent people to block. However, this also attracted our attention. The other group came from the ground, and they were all Sky Grade experts. At that time, we didn't think that if City Lord Zhao didn't arrive in time to remind us, and if the Lost Soul City's army didn't fight to the death, then it would've been hard to say what would've happened to Park River City-State."
When Liu Jun heard Lu Jinyan, he couldn't help but stare. Then his eyes lit up as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao is really fierce, this one admires you."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he quickly said, "Mister Liu is too serious. City Lord Lu is just being polite. Even if I didn't come, nothing would have happened. City Lord Lu is too kind."
Lu Jinyan shook his head and said, "No, I'm not exaggerating. Mister Liu, I still have something to tell you. After yesterday's matter, I felt that my ability to command is not good, and my ability to adapt is limited. Therefore, I discussed with the people of Puhe City and decided to give Mister Zhao Hai command of the battle against the Sacred Academy. Everyone in Puhe City, including myself, will listen to Mister Zhao Hai's command."
"Hiss!" Liu Jun sucked in a breath of cold air. He didn't think that Lu Jinyan would make such a decision. Lu Jinyan was giving up his authority as a City Lord. One must know that when Puhe City and the Sacred Academy went to war, the other city-states came to support Puhe City. Naturally, they would listen to Lu Jinyan's words. Now that Lu Jinyan said this, it was tantamount to telling everyone that they had to listen to Zhao Hai. Although Lu Jinyan didn't say it explicitly, Liu Jun wasn't a fool. He naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Jinyan's words. This was also the reason why he was surprised.
A City Lord of a city-state handing over his people to another city's City Lord. Moreover, this was in his own territory. What kind of determination was this? Wasn't he afraid that Zhao Hai would treat the people of Puhe City as cannon fodder?
Liu Jun turned his head to look at Zhao Hai. He really wanted to know what method Zhao Hai used to make Lu Jinyan hand over Puhe City to Zhao Hai. But after a moment of silence, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I wonder what City Lord Zhao has in mind for us?"
Zhao Hai looked at Liu Jun and said, "There's no need to worry about this. Mister Liu, how many people did you bring this time? Only by knowing the strength of these people can I make arrangements for Mister Liu. Mister Liu can rest assured that I will be fair and impartial. I absolutely won't deliberately use anyone as cannon fodder. "
Liu Jun looked at Zhao Hai, then he nodded and said, "This time, our Galloping Horse City-State has 50 people under my lead. All of them are at the Void Realm. It's not that our Galloping Horse City-State doesn't want to send more people, it's just that we don't have the means to do so. Our Galloping Horse City-State has just experienced a rebellion. Although the rebellion has been quelled, we still need to leave enough people to guard the city. Therefore, we can't send more people.
Please forgive me. "Lu Jinyan quickly replied," I'm already very happy that the Galloping Horse City is coming to support us. I wouldn't dare to blame Mister Liu for saying this. "
Zhao Hai looked at Liu Jun and nodded, "50 people should be enough. Now I have two things that I need Mister Liu to do. First, I need Mister Liu to immediately send a letter to Ben Horse City-State, telling them to be more vigilant. Ben Horse City-State's reinforcements should be known by the Holy Academy very soon. When the time comes, the Holy Academy might send troops to attack Ben Horse City-State. I need your city lord to give me a message. If the Holy Academy attacks Ben Horse City-State, what would your city-state do? Would you be allowed to stay here or would you be allowed to return? You need to give me an accurate message so that I can make appropriate arrangements."
When Liu Jun heard Zhao Hai, he stared for a moment. Then his eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Does the Holy Court really dare to attack the Galloping Horse City? Even if we come to support them, if they attack the Galloping Horse City, then they would have a death grudge with the Galloping Horse City. Do they really dare to do that? "
The Galloping Horse City wasn't a small city. Its strength could be considered to be above average. Therefore, in Liu Jun's opinion, the Holy Court should be wary of the Galloping Horse City. Otherwise, the Holy Court would become the enemy of the Galloping Horse City.
Zhao Hai replied, "It's just a possibility. Those people from the Holy Court are unpredictable. Anything is possible, so I hope that Mister Liu can remind your city lord to be prepared. If the Holy Court really makes a move on the Horse City and you are not prepared at all, you will be at a disadvantage. "
Liu Jun thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. What's the second matter?"
Zhao Hai continued, "The second thing is that I ask Mister Liu to go back and rest. Once you've rested, Mister Liu can lead your people to scout outside River Pool City and see where the 'Holy' character is. I've already sent people from Lost Soul City to scout. If Mister Liu encounters people from Lost Soul City, please don't make a move. If you encounter people from Lost Soul City who are fighting with the 'Holy' character, please help them. Right, people from Lost Soul City wear grey clothes with the word 'Lost Soul' embroidered on them. Mister Liu, it's best if you tell your people to have a uniform symbol. This way, everyone will know who is friend and who is foe." Zhao Hai nodded, "Lost Soul City's people are wearing grey clothes with the word 'Lost Soul' embroidered on them.
