Year 19 was currently sitting in his tent. It was already late, but Year 19 still hadn't rested. After setting up the camp, he called for the commanders of the various city-states. After everyone sat down, Year 19 looked at them and said, "Everyone, today is the first day of our departure. Does anyone have anything to say?"
A general stood up and said in a deep voice, "Alliance Lord, our army can't move quickly. The South Flower City should already know about our movements. By the time we get there, they should already be prepared. If that's the case, we'll be facing a head-on confrontation. Is that really a good idea?"
Year 19 stared at the general and continued, "When an army travels, it's impossible to hide their tracks. No matter where we attack, they will have time to prepare in advance. Hence, in a battle between armies, ambushes are useless. They can only use their army to fight head-on. Only then can we have a chance to defeat the Sacred Academy. Otherwise, we won't be able to rely on small skirmishes."
The commander sat down and listened to Year 19, but he didn't speak. Year 19 looked at them and said, "This time, the battle against the Holy Academy doesn't seem to be a big one. It's only a battle of several hundred thousand people. Such a force might not be comparable to the Yalong City. However, we have sent elites this time. Therefore, although we don't have a lot of people, our fighting strength isn't weak. Everyone doesn't need to worry, the South Flower City isn't that big. Even if they have a lot of troops, they wouldn't be able to spread out. As long as we attack head-on, we don't need to be afraid of them using other means. With our elite troops, they certainly wouldn't be able to resist."
Everyone nodded and didn't say anything. Year 119 looked at them and said in a deep voice, "This time, I called everyone here because I want to ask everyone about the Vanguard Army. What do you all think?"
Everyone looked at Year 19 in confusion. They didn't know why he suddenly mentioned the Vanguard. They all knew about the Vanguard's situation. The fact that Enchanting City helped the other city-states unite wasn't a secret in the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance. Naturally, they knew that the Vanguard and Year 19 didn't get along.
But what did Nian Yijiao mean by bringing this up? Could it be that he wants to attack the Vanguard? But in the vanguard army, there were several Breaking River level Great Ancestors overseeing it. If they attacked them, wouldn't they be beaten to death?
Year 19 looked at them and said, "Everyone, everyone knows the composition of the Vanguard. Enchanting City, Roaring Tiger City, Stone Ox City, Bloody Knife City, Deer City, and Galloping Horse City. Among these city-states, except for Deer City, the other city-states all have one thing in common. That is, their military strength is very strong. Whether it is Enchanting City or Roaring Tiger City, the military strength of their city-states is very strong. I don't think anyone will object to this, right?"
Everyone shook their heads. Of course, they wouldn't object. Just like what Year 19 said, it was indeed the case. The military strength of these city-states was well-known in the entire Spirit Weapon World. Among them, Deer City was the worst, but it was still equivalent to the military strength of an ordinary city-state. Galloping Horse City was also considered a large city-state, but it was a small city-state among the large city-states. However, not many people were willing to be in Galloping Horse City. The cavalry of Galloping Horse City was one of the best in the entire Spirit Weapon World. The name of Galloping Horse City's Iron Cavalry still had a lot of weight in the Spirit Weapon World.
As for Stone Ox City, Roaring Tiger City, and Bloody Knife City, these three city-states were not large city-states. Roaring Tiger City was at most a medium-sized city-state, while Stone Ox City and Bloody Knife City were small city-states. However, the military strength of these three city-states' soldiers was the most famous existence in the entire Spirit Weapon World. The fact that these three city-states could produce strong soldiers was recognized by the Spirit Weapon World. Naturally, no one would object.
As for the Lost Soul City-State, there was no need to talk about it. Before the Lost Soul City-State was unified, it was a place of constant war. Chaotic times produced elite soldiers. Compared to the peaceful environment of the Spiritual Weapon Realm, the Lost Soul City-State was simply a battlefield, an incomparably huge battlefield. Any soldier who could survive there would be an incomparably powerful elite soldier in any other city-state.
The army of the Lost Soul City-State was made up of such soldiers. Their fighting strength was much stronger than the Stone Ox City-State and the other city-states. This point was also proven during the battle of Puhe City. It was said that there was a small group of soldiers from the Lost Soul City-State that blocked the attack of a small group of Wu Nong level experts from the Sacred Academy. They even forced the small group of Wu Sky level experts to retreat. If such soldiers couldn't be called elites, then most of the armies in the Spiritual Weapon World should just go back home and farm.
Year 19 looked at everyone and said, "Their strength is very strong, this can be confirmed. If we really let them attack the city first, they might be able to take it. When that time comes, we can only drink some soup. So what I mean is, when their army arrives outside the city, let them set up camp outside the city. At the same time, build a camp, but don't let them attack first. When our army arrives, we will attack. What does everyone think?"
So what do you think? "Upon hearing Year 19, everyone stared. Then their eyes couldn't help but light up. Naturally, these people wouldn't object. They were now allies with Year 19. Although Zhao Hai and the others weren't enemies, they were still targets that they wanted to suppress. In this case, if Year 19 wanted to use this method to suppress Zhao Hai and the others, then naturally, they wouldn't have any objections.
Year 19 looked at these people and couldn't help but smile. He understood these people too well. They simply didn't know what friendship was. In their eyes, there were only benefits. Naturally, they wouldn't object to dealing with Stonehammer's group. This was because if Stonehammer's group were to overturn the sky, then their benefits would be damaged. For this reason, they would also deal with Stonehammer's group. This was their common interest.
Seeing that no one objected, Year 19 continued, "Since everyone doesn't object, then this matter is settled. Don't tell Stonehammer's group about this yet. Wait until they arrive before giving them the order. If you don't object, then you can return first."
Naturally, no one objected. Then they cupped their fists towards Year 19 before turning around and leaving. After they left, several people walked out of Year 19's tent. These people were wearing scholar's robes. After they appeared, they immediately greeted Year 19, "Greetings to the City Lord."
Year 19 nodded, then he turned to the group and said, "Misters, please take a seat. Misters' idea is very good. Stone Hammer and the others will do the hard work, but in the end, they won't get much credit. Hahaha. When the time comes, they will only be wasting their provisions. I want to see what Zhao Hai will do. Does he really think that I'm just a decoration?"
The strategists also laughed. It took a while for Nineteen to calm down. He looked at the strategists and said, "Gentlemen, can you tell us how we should attack this time?"
The strategists looked at each other, it was hard to say. Year 19 wasn't in a hurry, he just calmly waited for them. He knew that they also needed time to think.
One of the strategists thought for a while and said, "City Lord, I'm afraid this time's expedition won't be easy. You've sent scouts to South Flower City before, but they didn't succeed. It can be seen that South Flower City is already prepared. Also, with the support of the Sacred Court, they shouldn't be lacking experts. Because of this, City Lord must be careful. Every time the army attacks, it's best to have experts on guard. If the other side also sends experts, then our experts can block them."
Another strategist said, "I don't think so. We can have our experts attack first. This way, the other side will send experts to fight. Then, we can have our army attack the city."
"Absolutely not. Did you forget how Zhao Hai dealt with the Void Dance Realm experts of the Sacred Court? At that time, he was waiting for the people of the Sacred Institute to attack. If the people of the Sacred Institute didn't attack, he wouldn't attack either. When the people of the Sacred Institute attacked, what awaited them would be the Ballista's attack. After the Ballista's attack, the Sky Dance level experts of the Sacred Institute would have their morale depleted. Naturally, they would have an advantage. This time, our attack is the same. If we send experts to attack first, what awaits us would be the Ballista's attack. Therefore, we must not take the initiative to attack. "
"I know that taking the initiative to attack is dangerous, but we can let Stonehammer and the others send their experts to attack first. Meanwhile, the experts of the other city-states will stay behind to hold the fort."
"No, Stone Hammer and the others aren't stupid. This time, we let them be the vanguard, and they are already dissatisfied. If we let their Wu Sky Realm experts go first, then Stone Hammer and the others will definitely make a fuss. At that time, the City Lord's face won't look good. After all, they are an alliance of six city-states, and their strength isn't weak. We can't force them, so we can't force them. We can only give them the cold shoulder and let them exhaust their provisions. When there is an opportunity in the future, we will let them fight with the enemy's elites. This way, not only will they consume their strength, but also the enemy's elites."
"But what if they still refuse to fight at that time? Wouldn't the City Lord lose even more face? "
"Impossible. As long as the City Lord can win a few battles, then his prestige will increase. At that time, if Stonehammer and the others still dare to oppose the City Lord's order, then I'm afraid that the other city-states won't agree with them. Even if Stonehammer and the others are tyrannical, they won't dare to be the enemy of all the city-states. At that time, they can only follow the City Lord's order."
"City Lord, I think this method is feasible. First, we will give them the cold shoulder for a while and consume their provisions. After the City Lord wins, then we can order them. I think they won't dare to say anything."
