Lu Jinyan's face was filled with excitement as he said, "They should be coming. I'm sure that they'll send some people. We had a great victory yesterday. I wonder how many people we killed this time."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We'll know when Guohua comes back."
While they were talking, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from the door. However, the group wasn't surprised. This was because they could tell that it was Chen Guohua's footsteps.
Sure enough, the door was pushed open as Chen Guohua walked in. He looked at Zhao Hai with a happy expression and said, "Good news. This time, we killed more than a hundred people, 121 of them. Hahaha, a total of 121 Sky Dance Realm experts."
When everyone heard Chen Guohua, they stared for a moment before their faces were filled with joy. They were very happy that they managed to kill more than a hundred Sky Dance Realm experts. This kind of loss wasn't small. Naturally, the most important thing was that these people weren't killed by Zhao Hai and the other Sky Dance Realm experts. They were killed by ordinary soldiers using ballistas. The significance of this was completely different.
After some time, everyone calmed down. At this time, another set of footsteps could be heard as a person came in. He cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, the Sky Dance Realm experts have already retreated."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Besides those on guard duty, everyone else can rest." The person nodded before he turned around and left. After he left, Zhao Hai turned to Lu Jinyan and Chen Guohua and said, "City Lord Lu, Mister Chen, I'll have to trouble the two of you. The matter of transferring troops to Puhe City needs to continue. Also, the people who went out of the city yesterday need to be taken care of. We can't let them fend for themselves outside the city. If possible, transfer them to the city and then use the transmission formation to send them away."
Lu Jinyan nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. You can rest assured that you'll arrange it well. However, there are still some people who will be sent to the Lost Soul City."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. I've already informed the Lost Soul City. You can send people over at any time, don't worry."
Lu Jinyan nodded, "In order to prevent the 'Holy' character from attacking at night, make sure to send as many people as you can to the other cities. If you can't send them out today, don't let them enter the city. Guohua, I'll leave this matter to you."
Chen Guohua nodded. Zhao Hai heaved a sigh of relief, "Next, we just have to stall for time. Let's see how long we can stall for and see how the sacred academy reacts. We need to think of a way to deal with them."
The group nodded. This was the best method so far. Naturally, they wouldn't oppose it. They were still at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Defending the city was fine, but if they were to fight outside of the sacred academy, then they would be the ones to lose. Therefore, they could only deal with the changes by sticking to the status quo.
But what Zhao Hai and the others didn't know was that at this time, Wu Tianci was about to go crazy. Their attack last night was plotted against, this made them furious. When they counted the casualties, Wu Tianci almost went back to attack Zhao Hai and the others. There was no other way, their casualties were too high.
A hundred and twenty-one casualties, and all of them were Sky Dance level experts. This kind of casualty number was the largest in the history of the Sacred Academy. What made Wu Tianci the most furious was that they didn't die in a direct battle with the enemy, but were schemed against, shot to death by someone with a ballista.
One must know that in the world of Spirit Weapons, there was an unwritten rule for Void Dance Experts. If a Void Dance Expert were to die under a ballista, then it was an absolute disgrace. No matter what the reason was, if you died under a ballista, then it meant that you weren't skilled enough.
Fortunately, the surrounding people persuaded Wu Tianci to wait until daybreak before attacking. Wu Tianci also listened to their advice, so they waited until daybreak before attacking Puhe City. Wu Tianci also listened to their advice, so they waited until daybreak before attacking Puhe City.
But when they arrived outside Puhe City, they discovered that Puhe City was already prepared. Although there were Void Dance Experts here, these Void Dance Experts were just sentries. As long as they didn't enter the range of the ballista, then nobody would pay attention to them. As long as they enter the range of the ballista, then they would immediately be attacked by the ballista. No matter how much Wu Tianci and the others insulted them, the Void Dance Experts of Puhe City acted as if they didn't hear anything. This made Wu Tianci so angry that smoke came out of his head, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Wu Tianci led everyone to their temporary resting place. It was located on a mountain not far from Puhe City. This was their temporary resting place.
After Wu Tianci led the group to the mountain, he couldn't help but curse, "Shameless bastard, coward, coward!" Everyone looked at Wu Tianci and didn't say anything. After a while, someone opened his mouth and said, "Big Brother Wu, what should we do next?"
When Wu Tianci heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at everyone and saw that although it had only been a few lifetimes, everyone seemed to be in low spirits. This made Wu Tianci startled, he knew that this was a sign of low morale, this was definitely not a good thing.
Wu Tianci took a deep breath and restored his calm. Then he turned his head and said, "Now it's clear that Zhao Hai and Lu Jinyan are cowards. With our numbers, if we want to attack their city, then we won't have a good time. We are all elites, if one of us dies, then we will lose a portion of our strength. But this isn't the case for them. If we want to attack, then we must first destroy their ballistas. This will make us pay a big price, so we can only think of another way."
Everyone nodded. Then Wu Tianci said, "When we came out, the dean had already instructed me. The dean thought that they might have reinforcements, but they might also defend to the death. So what we need to do is to repel their reinforcements and then deal with them."
These people looked at Wu Tianci in confusion, they didn't know what he meant by repel their reinforcements. They also didn't know how to repel the reinforcements from Puhe City.
Wu Tianci looked at everyone and said, "Puhe City only has Liu Jun's group as reinforcements. However, I'm sure that they have more reinforcements than this. Therefore, we shouldn't be in a hurry to attack. Let's wait and see how many reinforcements they have. Once their reinforcements arrive, we'll see which city-states they are from. Then we'll attack their city-states. When the time comes, those city-states will certainly call back their reinforcements. Once their reinforcements leave, we'll slowly clean up Puhe City." Wu Tianci looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?
A person beside Wu Tianci opened his mouth and said, "Big Brother Wu, what about the Lost Soul City? What about the Lost Soul City? "
Wu Tianci's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Of course we need to deal with Lost Soul City-State, but not now. Lost Soul City-State's strength isn't weak, they still have more than a hundred Sky Dance Experts, as well as their ordinary army. Therefore, we don't need to rush to deal with Lost Soul City-State. Wait until we deal with Lost Soul City-State's reinforcements, then we'll deal with Lost Soul City-State's gang. Once we deal with Lost Soul City-State, then we'll deal with Lost Soul City-State. As long as we deal with Lost Soul City-State, then we'll deal with Lost Soul City-State."
Once we've dealt with the Lost Soul City, we'll deal with the Lost Soul City. "Everyone nodded, they were all Sky Dance Realm experts, their strength was formidable, and their hearts were as hard as stone. The reason why their morale was low before was because of the death of more than a hundred people. Now that they had recovered, Wu Tianci had successfully enraged them, causing them to shift their hatred towards Zhao Hai.
Seeing that everyone's spirit was much better than before, Wu Tianci opened his mouth and said, "Alright, everyone should go back and rest first. Later on, we'll go to Puhe City every day. I think that when their reinforcements arrive, they would certainly respond. You should know that these reinforcements aren't their people, it's impossible for them to let their reinforcements follow them back to their own city."
Everyone nodded, then Wu Tianci looked at them and said, "Alright, that's it. Everyone can go and rest." Everyone nodded, then they turned around and left.
After everyone had left, Wu Tianci summoned one of his confidants and whispered, "In a moment, go back to the Council and explain the situation here to them. Ask them if they have any instructions. If they do, then we'll follow their instructions. If they don't have any instructions, then tell them to send more people. Right now, we don't have enough people. Even if the other party uses human wave tactics, they'll be able to crush us to death."
The person nodded, then he turned around and left. After he left, Wu Tianci looked at their backs and muttered, "Zhao Hai, Lu Jinyan, I'll tear you to pieces in order to relieve my hatred. Just you wait."
At this time, Zhao Hai and Lu Jinyan, who were being hated by Wu Tianci, were receiving the reinforcements from the other cities. The reinforcements from the other city-states had finally arrived. For Zhao Hai and the others, this was definitely a good thing.
Naturally, after the reinforcements arrived, Zhao Hai had Lu Jinyan explain everything to them. First, it was about the command. Lu Jinyan already told them that Zhao Hai was the commander-in-chief here. Everyone had to listen to Zhao Hai.
When they heard this news, the reinforcements from the other city-states were very surprised. However, since they were here to provide support, they naturally couldn't say anything. If they had to listen to Zhao Hai's command, then they would listen to Zhao Hai's command. Otherwise, they would have to listen to someone else's command.
The second matter was about the Sacred Courtyard's attack on their city-states. This matter attracted their attention, so they immediately sent a letter to their own city-states. Some of the smaller city-states were afraid, so they immediately withdrew their reinforcements. Regarding this point, Zhao Hai and Lu Jinyan didn't say anything. The two of them could understand this. After all, not all city-states wanted to go all out against the Sacred Courtyard. Also, not all city-states could be like Galloping Horse City, where they could take out 50 Sky Dance Realm experts without affecting the defenses of their city-states.
In addition to receiving these reinforcements, they also had to gather the troops in Puhe City. At the same time, they had to send the civilians outside the city in batches. Some of these civilians went to other cities of Puhe City to seek refuge with their relatives and friends, while some chose to go to Lost Soul City.
It must be said that Zhao Hai and the others really had to thank Wu Tianci. If Wu Tianci didn't give them these few days, then they wouldn't have been able to calmly arrange everything. They also wouldn't have been able to send away all the civilians outside Puhe City, and the reinforcements from the other city-states wouldn't have arrived so smoothly. Naturally, Zhao Hai and the others weren't naive enough to think that they would be able to relax once the reinforcements from the other city-states arrived. In fact, when the reinforcements from the other city-states arrived, the battle had just begun.
On Wu Tianci's side, the Sacred Courtyard's command arrived. This time, not only did the Sacred Courtyard send 500 people to support them, the commander was also changed. This time, the person who came was actually the second-in-command of the Wu Clan, Wu Ya!
Wu Ya was the second-in-command of the Wu Clan. He was also a half-step Broken River Realm expert. Wu Yuan's strength was very strong, he was even known as the strongest expert under the Broken River Realm.
Wu Ya's arrival naturally replaced Wu Tianci's command position. Wu Tianci's group of more than a thousand people could only be considered as juniors in the Sacred Courtyard. The Sacred Courtyard thought that by sending more than a thousand Sky Dance Realm experts, they would be able to easily destroy Puhe City. However, they didn't expect that they would encounter such a strong resistance and even suffer a big loss. Therefore, the Sacred Courtyard immediately sent people over. Naturally, all of them were veteran experts. Whether it was combat experience, combat skills, or individual strength, these people were much stronger than Wu Tianci and the others.
The arrival of Wu Ya's group also signified the start of the Sacred Courtyard's attack. However, Wu Ya and the others didn't know that their operation this time was being monitored by Zhao Hai. And the person who was monitoring them was none other than Tie Jian.
Originally, Tie Jian didn't come to Puhe City. However, Zhao Hai called him over. At this time, Tie Jian's Underground Traversing Technique was very important. Therefore, he was sent to look for the Sacred Courtyard's people and monitor them at the same time was the best choice.
After Tie Jian discovered the arrival of Wu Ya's group, he immediately returned to Puhe City and informed Zhao Hai. After hearing this news, Zhao Hai immediately had Lu Jinyan invite the representatives of the various city-states to the conference hall.
The conference hall of Puhe City had now been turned into a huge conference room. There were tables and chairs here, and everyone was sitting while talking. This was also the proposal of Zhao Hai. Although he was now the commander of these people, he was very clear that these people were all from the various city-states. They were here to support the Sacred Courtyard, so they should show proper respect to these people.
Lu Jinyan was now very obedient to Zhao Hai. He had no choice but to do so because Zhao Hai's ability to command as well as his strength had convinced Lu Jinyan. Therefore, Lu Jinyan was now like a follower of Zhao Hai. Every day, he would follow behind Zhao Hai and listen to Zhao Hai's commands.
