Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression. Zhao Hai explained, "Sacred Court suffered a big loss in my hands this time. But aside from Stone Ox City and a few other city-states, the other city-states didn't suffer any losses. At most, the army was on alert for a few days and a few Sky Dance Experts were killed. Their muscles weren't injured, nor were their bones injured. Moreover, they didn't use too much strength. Perhaps in their eyes, we are dispensable. They didn't see how much effort we put in. If Sacred Court moves, then they wouldn't just focus on us. When the time comes, their city-states would be attacked as well. At that time, they would know how much effort we put in and how much effort we put in." Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Lu Jinyan.
When Lu Jinyan heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "But what benefits do we get from doing this?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Of course there are benefits. We've been working hard for a long time, but they think that we're not tired. They think that we didn't do anything. Naturally, they wouldn't care about our hard work. But we don't need to care about that. When they're attacked, they'll know about it. When that time comes, we'll come forward and solve this matter. They'll naturally be grateful to us. Later on, if we want to unify the entire Spirit Weapon Realm, we'll encounter a lot less resistance."
When Lu Jinyan heard Zhao Hai, his spirit shook. Then he said, "They weren't attacked, and they heard that we dealt with the Sacred Court so quickly. Maybe they'll relax their vigilance and think that the Sacred Court is easy to deal with. If we tell them to change their coordinates, they might do so. But if they keep their city on alert, then I'm afraid it'll be difficult. If the Sacred Court really wants to deal with them, then they'll certainly suffer."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant. When we do good things, we need to let people know about it. Otherwise, people wouldn't be grateful to us. Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's first settle the matter of changing the coordinates. This matter isn't easy, because if we want to change the coordinates, then we need to change all of the coordinates. Almost all of the transmission formations in the city-states would need to be adjusted. This is a very big project. How many people in the city-states know about transmission formations? It's already good that they know how to use it. How about this, the two of us can jointly greet the people of the various city-states and have the Lost Soul City-State send some people who know how to use teleportation formations to adjust and repair their teleportation formations. We just need to ask the city-states to cooperate. What do you think? "
The reason why Zhao Hai asked Lu Jinyan this was because he thought that this matter was very important. This was because transmission formations were equivalent to a city-state's communication with the outside world. If it was Zhao Hai, then he wouldn't let people easily come into contact with his city-state's transmission formations. What if the other party does something? Therefore, it's better to be careful.
However, what Zhao Hai didn't expect was that Lu Jinyan immediately nodded and said, "I think it's possible. There are a lot of city-states' transmission formations that have some minor problems. There are even some city-states that use transmission formations to send people out. However, they don't know what happened to the transmission formations. Every year, some people would go missing because of the transmission formations. This matter has been troubling the various city-states. If the City Lord can help them solve this problem, then it would be a good thing for them. They might even be grateful to you.
Zhao Hai stared, then he thought about it. It was clear that the use of transmission formations in the various city-states didn't attract enough attention. After all, the Heavenly Sword Empire had been destroyed for so many years. Most of the city-states were only able to use the transmission formations in their main cities. Even if the transmission formations in their main cities could be used, the consumption would still be very high. Because of this, unless it was necessary, most of the city-states would still walk.
In this case, they naturally didn't pay enough attention to the transmission formations. They simply didn't think about the use of transmission formations. This was something that many people from other city-states weren't used to after arriving at the Lost Soul City. In the Lost Soul City, the main means of transportation between cities wasn't roads, but rather teleportation formations. You can ride some carriages in the city, but if you want to go to other cities, you'd have to use teleportation formations.
Of course, this didn't mean that roads were useless. No city could be isolated. There would certainly be a large number of towns around the city. And these towns wouldn't have transmission formations. If people wanted to enter the city, they would have to take carriages and roads. Therefore, roads were irreplaceable. However, between cities, roads weren't the main means of communication.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, it would be best if they can agree. Old Lu, you arrange for everyone to have a good meal as well as some gifts. After that, you can send them back. Naturally, the city-states would also need to send gifts. You can decide what to send. If you don't have enough, just tell me and I'll immediately send some from Lost Soul City." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll send some over.
Naturally, Lu Jinyan wouldn't disagree. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements." Zhao Hai nodded, then he followed Lu Jinyan out. When he returned to his room, he informed Stonehammer before he went to rest.
Lu Jinyan's movements were very fast. It didn't take long for all the gifts to be prepared. At the same time, he also transferred a lot of chefs from the city to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Everyone knew that this would be their last meal here. Everyone was somewhat sad. After all, they had been through life and death together for a long time. Now that they had to leave, they couldn't help but feel reluctant.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and then at Lu Jinyan. Lu Jinyan shook his head, obviously he didn't want to say anything. Zhao Hai raised his glass and looked at everyone, "Brothers, we've been through life and death together, facing strong enemies together. Now it's time for us to separate. But don't be sad, we've only repelled the Sacred Court's attack. If we want to defeat the Sacred Court, we still have a lot of things to do. In the future, we'll still have the opportunity to fight side by side. Come, let's drink a cup together, then everyone can go back and rest for a few days with their families. The next time we fight side by side, we'll work together and defeat the Sacred Court for good. Come, let's drink a cup together, then everyone can go back and rest for a few days with their families. The next time we fight side by side, we'll work together and defeat the Sacred Court for good.
Everyone raised their glasses and said, "Cheers!" Then he drank the wine in his cup. They believed Zhao Hai's words, they had only defeated the Sacred Courtyard once today. The Sacred Courtyard was still here, it would take a long time before they could defeat it. There would be plenty of opportunities for them to fight side by side in the future. There was no need to be sad here.
After hearing Zhao Hai's words, everyone's spirits were lifted. They were all people with families. After coming out for so long, they had been fighting. To be honest, they were a bit homesick. Now that they can go back home, everyone's excitement suppressed their sadness. The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively.
Lu Jinyan looked at everyone and couldn't help but sigh. He discovered that he really couldn't compare to Zhao Hai. He couldn't say those words just now.
After the meal, Lu Jinyan arranged for everyone to rest. After resting for a day, Lu Jinyan and Zhao Hai sent everyone off. Naturally, everyone was given a gift. At the same time, there were also gifts for the City Lords. Everyone happily left.
After everyone left, Zhao Hai and Lu Jinyan returned to the City Lord's Mansion. After giving Lu Jinyan some instructions, Zhao Hai left with the Sky Dance Realm experts of the Lost Soul City.
However, Stonehammer stayed behind along with the 10,000 armored soldiers. They would be stationed in Puhe City-State in the future. Not only would they help Puhe City-State deal with the Holy Institute, they would also have another mission, which was to help Puhe City-State reorganize its army.
It was reorganizing the army, not training the army. Training the army could be seen as an exchange between the two city-states. Of course, this was a military exchange. But reorganizing the army was completely different. Reorganizing the army meant that the entire army of Puhe City would be reorganized. This was tantamount to controlling the army of Puhe City.
This was also Lu Jinyan's request. Zhao Hai told Lu Jinyan that the matter of Puhe City joining the Lost Soul City wouldn't be announced to the public for the time being. However, this didn't mean that they wouldn't do anything. In fact, Lu Jinyan and Zhao Hai had already begun to work on the merger. Of course, Zhao Hai also said that Puhe City's government would still be under Lu Jinyan's management. However, the army would no longer be under Lu Jinyan's control. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai left Stonehammer behind to let him control the army.
Military power was the foundation of a political faction. If a political faction didn't have military power, then no matter how well it developed, it would just be a castle in the air. Therefore, to see if a person was in control of a country, the most important thing was to see if they had military power. If they had military power, then they would be in control of the country.
Some people would say that even if you have military power, what can you do? I control the country's economy, I control the country's money. If I don't give you money, then your army would be finished.
It can be said that the person who said this was an absolute idiot. If a person really had military power, then why would they be afraid of not having money? If they don't have money, then they can just rob it. Do you really think that their army is just for decoration? It was like a person who locked all the money and provisions in his house and thought that he could control the army with money and provisions. In fact, he was gravely mistaken. It was not that you could control the army by controlling the money and provisions, but that you could only have money and provisions by controlling the army. If your army did not listen to you, would you dare to not give them money and provisions? If they really don't listen to you and you don't give them money, then they will immediately kill you and take away all your things.
Zhao Hai now wanted to control the military power of Puhe City. He can let go of government affairs, but the military power must be in his hands. Grandpa Mao said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Zhao Hai was very clear about this point.
