Zhao Hai liked Shi Potian's personality. Once he made a decision, he wouldn't hesitate. However, Zhao Hai couldn't make a move right now because he was afraid that the people from the Sacred Institute would run away.
Shi Potian left, but Shi Poshan didn't. He and Zhao Hai were waiting for waves of reinforcements to arrive. Although there were only 700 people, all of them were experts.
After seven teleportations, the 700 people arrived. While Zhao Hai was waiting for these people, he was also paying attention to the battle on the city walls. He had to admit that the ordinary soldiers of the Stone Bull City-State were very strong. Although the people from the Holy Academy wanted to attack, they didn't dare to enter the range of the ballistas. It was obvious that they had suffered a great loss from the ballistas, so they didn't dare to move.
The ballistas of the Stone Ox City weren't like other cities. They didn't fire from time to time. Their ballistas wouldn't fire until the enemy was within range. Even if the people from the Sacred Institute entered range, they wouldn't fire. This was because the ballistas had a very low hit rate. Firing at that time would be a waste of resources.
It can be said that the Stone Ox City was very stingy in this regard. However, Zhao Hai could understand this. This was because he had some business dealings with the Stone Ox City. He knew that the Stone Ox City was very poor.
The Void Dance level trainers of the Sacred Academy kept probing outside the city. They would hide outside the range of the ballistas and enter the range of the ballistas. Then, they would quickly retreat to provoke the spirit of the Stone Ox City's defenders.
Naturally, this way, they wouldn't be able to see the situation inside the city. The reason why Zhao Hai could see this was because of his spiritual force.
Time passed by little by little. After an hour, the people from the Sacred Institute retreated. This attack was more like a drill because the two sides didn't really fight.
However, this hour was very important for Zhao Hai and the others. This was because the reinforcements had arrived. They can now proceed to the next step of the plan.
After everyone arrived, Zhao Hai followed Shi Potian to the city wall. At this time, Shi Potian was still standing on the city wall, his eyes were still looking at the direction where the people from the Holy Courtyard retreated. It could be seen that he was very nervous. It wasn't only him, the soldiers on the city wall were also very nervous. Although they didn't fight against the Holy Courtyard people this time, they still needed to be vigilant at all times. This was a very dangerous situation.
When Shi Poshan and Zhao Hai reached the wall, Shi Potian let out a long breath. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, "Mister Zhao Hai saw a joke."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "City Lord Shi, there's no need to say that. I really admire City Lord Shi. The fighting strength of the Stone Bull City's soldiers really opened my eyes. It's even better than my Lost Soul City's soldiers."
Shi Potian smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. If the Stone Bull City was really rich, then he would have spent a lot of money to equip his army. Unfortunately, he didn't have that kind of money. Naturally, Shi Potian wouldn't tell Zhao Hai about this, so he said, "City Lord Zhao is too polite. According to the Sacred Institute's previous attacks, they would attack every one to two hours. Let's prepare how to deal with them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked outside the city and said, "The other party attacks every one or two hours. This means that their resting place isn't too far away from Stone Ox City. If it's too far away, then they would have to spend a lot of time and energy to fly. This is too strenuous, so it's impossible for them to do so. Therefore, they must have a place to rest nearby. Does City Lord Shi know about this?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Stone Ox City and said, "That's right.
Shi Potian shook his head and said, "I don't know. We don't have enough Sky Dance experts, so we can't go out and scout. However, there aren't any good resting places outside the city. I think they must be on Crouching Bull Mountain. There's an open area on Crouching Bull Mountain, and there's a spring there that people can drink from. Because of this, very few people would go there. Therefore, I think that the Sacred Institute's people are most likely there."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Tie Xian!" Following Zhao Hai's words, Tie Xian immediately came out and cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai waved his hand, Tie Xian nodded, then his body moved and directly jumped down from the city wall. After landing on the ground, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Shi Potian looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, it's very dangerous to leave the city at this time. Those fellows from the Sacred Institute are very cunning, they'll send people to guard the city. Once they discover him, he'll be in danger."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's no need to guard against him. It's been a while since those fellows from the Sacred Institute found him. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. City Lord Shi, after Tie Xian comes back, we'll immediately go out and eliminate those fellows from the Sacred Institute. If we bring them into the city, then the city will be destroyed. You just need to be prepared."
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Hai said this, Shi Potian's face sank. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "City Lord Zhao, what do you mean? Are you looking down on the people of Stone Bull City? "
When Zhao Hai heard Shi Potian, he couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately shook his head and laughed, "City Lord Shi, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean to look down on you. It's just that you've been fighting against the Holy Court for the past few days, so you must be tired. Now that we've arrived, you should take a good rest and look at us."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Shi Potian's expression became better. He shook his head and said, "No, City Lord Zhao, we don't need to rest. We must participate in this operation. We must personally eliminate those fellows from the Sacred Institute. We must let them know that our Stone Bull City isn't to be trifled with."
Zhao Hai looked at Shi Potian, then he nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll do as City Lord Shi says. Let's go together and eliminate those fellows from the Sacred Institute. We'll let them know that we're not to be trifled with."
While they were talking, Tiesian suddenly came out of the woods outside the city. His figure flashed a few times before he appeared on the city wall. Then he cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, the people from the Sacred Institute are on that mountain. Halfway up the mountain, there's an open area. They're resting there. It's very close to the city." Tiesian pointed towards the mountain.
Shi Potian looked at the mountain and nodded, "It really is Crouching Ox Mountain. My guess was right, they really did choose that place to rest. City Lord Zhao, when do you think we should set off?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Now, everyone leave the city. Don't fly, just slowly move. Surround that place, don't let them escape. Make sure that all of them stay here." Everyone nodded, then they followed Zhao Hai out of the city. Their actions made Shi Potian's blood boil. But at the same time, Shi Potian also saw something else.
Shi Potian was very clear that although the people led by Zhao Hai were reinforcements sent to Puhe City by the other city-states, this kind of team was the most difficult to deal with. This was because the representatives of the other city-states were present, and the people of the other city-states would only listen to their representatives. They wouldn't listen to anyone else.
However, when Zhao Hai gave the order, no one opposed it. Everyone had an excited look on their faces, as if they agreed with Zhao Hai's order. This situation was completely beyond Shi Potian's expectations.
Although Shi Potian was following Zhao Hai, he was also sizing up Zhao Hai from time to time. He wanted to know what kind of ability Zhao Hai had to be able to make the people of the other city-states listen to him. There wasn't a single voice of opposition.
Zhao Hai noticed that Shi Potian was sizing them up, but he didn't say anything and just kept moving forward. Just like what Iron Line said, they weren't far from where the people of the Holy Court were resting. Before long, they were already close to the place. And just like what Zhao Hai said, they had already surrounded it.
Zhao Hai didn't immediately attack. Instead, he contacted everyone to see if they had surrounded the people of the Sacred Court. When he was sure that they had completely surrounded the people of the Sacred Court, Zhao Hai relaxed. Then he waved his hand as the group went straight towards the people of the Sacred Court.
Sure enough, the people of the Sacred Court were on guard. But these days, the people of the Stoneox City didn't leave the city. Naturally, their vigilance was lowered. They didn't think that someone would dare to attack them. Because of this, when they discovered Zhao Hai's group, it was already too late.
Although it was a bit late, they still immediately issued a warning. At the same time, they prepared to meet the enemy. Their roar also alerted the people of the Sacred Court who were resting. This time, the one who led the Sacred to attack the Stoneox City was none other than Liu Baixiao.
Liu Baixiao was now the commander-in-chief of the Sacred Institution. The reason why he led his troops to attack Stonebull City was because Stonebull City and the Sacred Institution had always been at odds with each other. Because of this, Liu Baixiao led his troops to attack Stonebull City. They wanted to take over Stonebull City in one fell swoop and vent their anger for the Sacred Academy.
When Liu Baixiao heard the warning, he immediately led his people to fly up. He thought that the people of the Stoneox City couldn't help but come out to attack them. Because of this, he didn't take it seriously. However, he still gathered his people and prepared to deal with the enemy first before attacking the city and taking it down in one fell swoop.
But just as he gathered his people, countless figures suddenly flew up from all directions. Liu Baixiao recognized the two people in the lead, it was Zhao Hai and Shi Potian.
Seeing Zhao Hai's sudden appearance, Liu Baixiao's complexion changed. His complexion paled as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, I didn't think that you would come here. You really don't know the difference between life and death. Aren't you afraid that the people from the Holy Courtyard would break through Puhe City?"
