Hearing these people's words, Year 119 nodded and said, "Alright, then let's do it this way. When Stone Hammer and the others arrive, mister and the others will set up camp and then think of a way to deal with them." When the strategists heard Year 119's words, they began to argue.
Year 119 looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Sirs, this time, we can only succeed in our expedition. When the time comes, please help me. That's right, how's the situation of the rear army's rations? The army's provisions are all there, we can't afford to make any mistakes. "
One of the strategists immediately said, "City Lord can rest assured, there won't be any problems with the provisions. With an army of a hundred thousand, even if someone wants to touch the provisions, they would have to think twice. Even a Broken River Realm expert wouldn't be able to do anything to the provisions under the watch of a hundred thousand soldiers."
Year 19 nodded, then he said, "It's good that they're fine. The hateful ones are Stonehammer and the others. They actually wanted to bring their own provisions. They're clearly trying to distract us. I heard that their provisions are very good. I don't know if it's true or not."
A strategist opened his mouth and said, "That's true. Previously, during the battle of Puhe City, the people of our city-state saw the army rations of the Lost Soul City. Their army rations were made very well. They were all made in small pieces. I heard that they tasted very good and were very filling. However, their army rations were distributed and would never be sold to the public. No one knew how to make them. When the army rations were taken out, they looked like pieces of flatbread. No one knew how to make them."
Year One nodded and said, "This Zhao Hai is definitely our enemy. Although he's hiding now, his influence on the other city-states is very big. We must be careful of him."
Another strategist opened his mouth and said, "Zhao Hai's influence over the other city-states is mostly based on his victory in Pujiang City. As long as the City Lord wins a few battles, then Zhao Hai's influence will be weakened. This time, the City Lord has pulled the Family Alliance into the Sacred Academy Alliance, which is a wonderful move. Before, Zhao Hai had sent people to contact the Family Alliance, but the Family Alliance didn't give him any face. On the contrary, we succeeded, which made the other city-states see our strength and influence. Pulling the Family Alliance into the Lesser Dragon City-State is a crucial step. Now that the City Lord is lacking in military merits, as long as we win a battle, then Zhao Hai wouldn't have any advantage in front of the City Lord."
Year One had a proud expression on his face as he nodded. Pulling the Family Alliance into the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was something he was proud of. Now that it was mentioned, he was naturally happy.
Another strategist opened his mouth and said, "If we want to capture Nanhua City, then we must first face their Ballista Brigade and Catapult Brigade. Therefore, I think that we shouldn't be in a hurry to attack Nanhua City. We should first build siege equipment before attacking. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of cutting firewood. What does the City Lord think?"
Year 19 nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I think too. If we attack rashly without siege weapons, we'll be the ones to suffer in the end. That's why we have to build the siege weapons first."
A strategist said, "City Lord, Nanhua is just a small city-state. If they want to stop our attack, they can only rely on the support of other city-states and the support of the Sacred Institute. Now that they have formed the Freedom Alliance, what we have to face isn't just Nanhua, but the entire Freedom Alliance. Therefore, we have to either not attack or attack fiercely because they are defending while reinforcements will come in an endless stream. On the other hand, we are attacking and are far away from the rear. It would be very difficult for reinforcements to arrive even if they want to. Therefore, I think that we can establish a camp at the front line, but we must control the cities of the Lesser Dragon City-States in the rear. Moreover, we can leave the provisions in the rear and transport them to the front line when we need them. At the same time, we can repair the teleportation formations in those cities and transfer the troops from the rear to the front line when necessary."
Year One nodded and said, "Mister's idea is very good. Although there would be some consumption when transporting the supplies to the front line, the supplies would be safer. With supplies, the army wouldn't be in chaos. Good, very good."
When the strategist heard Year One, he couldn't help but feel proud as he cupped his fist and said that he wouldn't dare. At the same time, the other strategists looked at him with jealousy.
Nian Nineteen looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Misters, please go and rest first. You need to think about this battle for the next few days. In the future, Nian Mou will be counting on you guys to come up with ideas."
The strategists quickly stood up and saluted Year One. They bowed and said that they wouldn't dare. Then they slowly retreated.
Seeing that the strategists had retreated, Year One let out a long breath and leaned back on his chair to rest. Although he looked very impressive and calm, Year One was very clear that the city-states weren't necessarily on the same side as him. If they were, then they would've opposed Shi Potian when he proposed to restrict the Alliance Lord's position. However, they didn't oppose it at that time. It was clear that Shi Potian's words were very much in line with them. They also wanted to restrict his authority.
And this was where they clashed. He wanted more authority, but these people wanted to restrict his authority. Although they were temporarily united because of Zhao Hai, Year One didn't dare to treat them as his confidants. On the contrary, Year One already planned that as long as the time was right, he would deal with these people and annex their city-states. When the time comes, he would become the number one city-state in the Spirit Weapon Realm. He might even be able to unify the entire realm.
Just as he was thinking about these wonderful things, a voice was suddenly heard from outside, "City Lord, Patriarch Zhe and the others are requesting an audience."
When Year One heard this, he quickly said, "Invite them in." Just as his voice fell, the Patriarch of the Zhe Family led the other Patriarchs of the Family Alliance into the tent. Then they cupped their fist and saluted Year One.
Year One was very polite to them. This was because the Patriarch of the Zhe Family had been in contact with him all these years. Moreover, they expressed their full support for him. This made Year One feel very moved. He felt that it would be better to form an alliance with these people.
Year One was actually very jealous of Zhao Hai. This was because when he was suppressing the Lost Soul City, the other city-states still stood by Zhao Hai's side. They still supported Zhao Hai. This was very amazing. Year One asked himself, if he was in the same situation as Zhao Hai, then the other city-states wouldn't stand by his side.
After Year One invited the She Family's Patriarch and the others to sit down, the She Family's Patriarch looked at Year One and said, "Alliance Lord, we came here today to discuss the situation of the battle in Nanhua City. May I know what the Alliance Lord plans to do?"
Year One looked at the Patriarch of the Zhe Family and said, "May I know what Patriarch Zhe plans to do?"
The Zhe Family's Patriarch said, "Alliance Lord, I'm thinking that after we arrive at Nanhua City, we can let the Lost Soul City attack first. Because we just arrived, the Nanhua City's defense is at its tightest. If we let them attack, their losses would be greater. Alliance Lord, you should know that I have a conflict with the Lost Soul City, and the Lost Soul City has been disrespectful to you. Why don't we use this opportunity to deplete their strength? What do you think?"
What do you think? "Year One looked at the Patriarch of the Zhe Family and said," Patriarch Zhe, you don't have a good understanding of the strength of the Lost Soul City and the other city-states. The soldiers of these city-states are very strong. Most importantly, they have several Broken River Experts. If we let them attack, then who can guarantee that these Broken River Experts wouldn't make a move? Would they just watch the people of their own city die? Because of this, we can't use them for the first attack. As long as they can reach the frontlines and set up camp, then everything will be fine. "
Hearing this, the She Clan Head didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that this was the Sacred Court's idea. As for the River Breaking Realm experts, he didn't need to worry. There were already River Breaking Realm experts waiting for them in the Sacred Court. He couldn't say these words. So now that Nian Nineteen said this, he couldn't say anything.
Year 119 looked at the Zhe Family's Patriarch and said, "We need to consume the fighting strength of Lost Soul City-State and the other city-states. If there's an opportunity, we shouldn't rush it. Right, since all of you are here, I have something to tell you. This time, the army's rations are the most important. What I mean is that after we arrive at the frontlines, the army's rations won't be placed in the frontlines, but in the cities at the rear. The army will only bring half a month's worth of rations. When the time comes, the army will transport the rations from the cities at the rear to the frontlines. This way, the rations will be safer.
The reason why Year One told the Patriarch of the Zhe Family about this matter was because they were currently in the Inferior Dragon City, which was the territory of the Patriarch of the Zhe Family. If they want to place the provisions in the cities, then they would need to inform the Patriarch of the Zhe Family. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for them to do so.
When the Patriarch of the Zhe Family heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. The Patriarch of the Zhe Family immediately said, "Rest assured, Alliance Lord, we will do our best to cooperate. There's no need to worry about the provisions in the cities."
Hearing this, Year One became even happier. He smiled and said, "Good, good, good. Many thanks to the Patriarch of the Zhe Family. This time, as long as we take down the South Flower City, I'll give you the greatest merit."
The Patriarch of the Zhe Family stood up and expressed his gratitude. However, their eyes flashed with contempt before it was replaced by ecstasy. Naturally, they didn't agree to let Year One place the provisions in the cities out of kindness. Instead, they thought that this was a good opportunity to defeat the Anti-Holy Court Alliance.
