After the hall quieted down, Zhao Hai looked at the people and said, "Nian 19 is dead, the Nian Family has been exterminated by me. The two Ancestors of the Nian Family are also dead. What's wrong? What else do you want to say? "
When the City Lords heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. They could understand the destruction of the Nian Family, Nian 119's death was also within their scope of understanding. However, they didn't think that the Nian Family's two Ancestors would also die. In fact, they didn't know that the Nian Family had two Ancestors, they thought that the Nian Family only had one Ancestor.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Although I said that Nian Nineteen betrayed the Sacred Academy, I don't have any evidence. I'm not afraid to tell you that I destroyed the Nian Clan because Nian Nineteen was against me. I wanted the Nian Clan's territory, so I destroyed him. Now, I want to be the Alliance Leader of the Sacred Academy Alliance. Does anyone have any objections?"
The City Lords looked at each other in dismay. To be honest, they thought that Zhao Hai would find a reason to hide his intentions. They didn't expect that Zhao Hai would directly state his intentions. In this case, what else could they say? They didn't support Zhao Hai to be the Alliance Leader? How could that be possible? Were they tired of living?
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, to be honest, I'm very disappointed with you. When I fought against the Sacred Courtyard in Puhe City, the support that you gave me was very limited. In this case, I still managed to defeat the Sacred Courtyard. I don't know why you're still dissatisfied with us. Perhaps you might say that only our Lost Soul City-State benefited from the war in Puhe City, and the benefits were huge. You might think that I was lying and that Puhe City should've surrendered to our Lost Soul City-State a long time ago. I just wanted you to help us in our war against the Sacred Courtyard. In the end, we got all the benefits while you lost a lot of Sky Dance Experts. I think that there should be a lot of people who think this way, right?"
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "I can tell you that you're wrong. When we fought the Sacred Academy, the Puhe City still hadn't surrendered to us. I disdain to lie about this matter. You only saw that I died, but you didn't see that it was because of this battle that you had the courage to fight the Sacred Academy. When I asked you to send troops to attack the Sacred Academy with Year 19, did you dare to do so?"
When the City Lords heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but stare blankly. Then their complexion couldn't help but become unnatural. Just like what Zhao Hai said, they only had the courage to fight the Sacred Academy after that battle. If it was before, they wouldn't have dared to fight the Sacred Academy. This can be seen from the support they gave to Zhao Hai during the battle of Puhe City. They only sent a few Sky Dance Realm experts, and they didn't send a lot of people.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "After that, everyone became angry with me. So when I said that I wanted to study formations, none of you believed me. Even if you believed me, you didn't think that formations weren't that important. So you joined forces with Year 19, wanting him to become the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. Year 19 also promised you a lot of benefits, right? But did he fulfill it? "
Nobody spoke, they didn't know what to say. Although Zhao Hai's words weren't pleasant to hear, they were all facts. They did hate Zhao Hai back then, and they did push Year 19 to the position of Alliance Leader. What else can they say? All of this was caused by them.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "But haven't you thought about it? The battlefield isn't like other places. The Holy Courtyard isn't a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch. You have formed an alliance, and the alliance is made up of the elites of the various city-states. But what's the use of that? What's your purpose in fighting the Holy Courtyard? You want to get rich, but how can you do that? Naturally, the less he lost, the better. The more items he could snatch, the better. But was there such a thing in war? I can tell you that you didn't. You didn't have a pure purpose. You underestimated your opponent's determination to fight against you. You thought that the Sacred Institute was easy to deal with. Moreover, this time, you were only dealing with a city-state under the Sacred Institute. You thought that the Sacred Institute wouldn't resist too much. Unfortunately, you were wrong. "
At this point, Zhao Hai paused for a moment, then he let out a long breath before he continued, "You're wrong, Year 19 is also wrong. Although they formed an alliance, your enemy is Sacred Courtyard, they can't afford to lose. If they lose, then they would be completely defeated. The city-states that support them would lose confidence in them. Therefore, Sacred Courtyard can't afford to lose and would certainly go all out to fight against you. However, you didn't think about this when you went to the battlefield, so when you suffered some losses, you would feel that you've suffered a loss. Because of this, Year 19 didn't dare to offend you too much. He also didn't dare to let you attack regardless of casualties. In the end, the war reached a stalemate. At this time, Year 19 still wanted to scheme, he wanted to have Lost Soul City and the other city-states attack, causing us to suffer heavy losses. This way, we wouldn't be able to threaten his position as the Alliance Leader. Everyone, what I want to tell you is, what is our current situation? We are in a life-and-death war with the sacred academy. If we lose, we will be doomed to eternal damnation. This isn't a business deal, we shouldn't be so calculative about gains and losses. Otherwise, we are destined to fail. "
At this point, Zhao Hai paused, then he looked at the crowd and said, "If I were the Alliance Lord, then I wouldn't agree to the Alliance Lord's order. When I asked Lu Jinyan to make this request, I wanted to see if you were of one mind. If you weren't selfish, then you wouldn't have agreed to this. This is because in the battlefield, a commander's order must be unconditionally carried out. If you don't do this, then how can you fight a war? If the commander wants you to attack, then why don't you attack? If you don't attack, then do you expect others to attack? This time, I killed Nian Nineteen in order to obtain the territory of the Mammoth City-State, obtain its population, and obtain its army. That way, our Lost Soul City-State will become the number one city-state in the spirit weapon world. That way, I can reorganize my army. When the time comes, I will go to war with the Sacred Institution. Even if you don't participate, just the army under my command will be enough for me to have a good fight with the Sacred Institution. That's why I have to deal with Nian Nineteen and take down the Mammoth City-State. "
At this point, Zhao Hai finally stopped, he looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, I'm very happy that you're able to attend this meeting today. You're here because you know that you've made a mistake. You chose to believe me. I know that my actions against Elephant City have made you feel uneasy. You must be thinking, what if one day, I suddenly deal with you like I dealt with Elephant City? When I dealt with the Elephant City, I didn't have any evidence. It can even be said that I didn't have any evidence at all. I just wanted to deal with them. If I deal with you in the future, then I'm afraid that you won't be able to stop my attack. Do you think that a lot of people have this idea? "
When Zhao Hai said this, the City Lords couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. They discovered that Zhao Hai was very formidable. He was able to calculate their every move. This person was very strong.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Alright, then I'll give everyone a guarantee. I, Zhao Hai, swear to the heavens that if I attack any city in the future without any evidence, then I, Zhao Hai, will die a horrible death and never be able to reincarnate."
The people of the Spirit Weapon World placed great importance on oaths. This was because they believed that there was a pair of eyes watching everything that happened in this world. Every oath that you made in this world would be known to the heavens. If you went against your oath, then you would definitely be punished by the heavens.
Because of this, after Zhao Hai made this oath, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved. Even the Zhe Family's Patriarch was relieved. They thought that Zhao Hai made this oath in order to stabilize everyone. This way, Zhao Hai wouldn't be able to easily deal with anyone present. However, they didn't discover that Zhao Hai's oath also had a trap. First, evidence. Zhao Hai said that he would be punished if he didn't have any evidence. Then naturally, he would be able to deal with the other city-states if he had evidence. Second, Zhao Hai said that he would deal with the other city-states. But if the Zhe Family's Patriarch and the others were to count, then they wouldn't be able to represent the Inferior Dragon City. It was just that nobody noticed this point.
After Zhao Hai made the oath, he looked at everyone and said, "Naturally, I won't refuse other city-states to voluntarily join our Lost Soul City-State. Just like Puhe City-State, Puhe City-State joined Lost Soul City-State and became Puhe City. Lu Jinyan is still the City Lord and is still in charge of Puhe City. However, he will have to hand over his military power and act according to Lost Soul City-State's standards. Because of this, everyone doesn't need to worry. In the future, unless you betray the Sacred Academy Alliance or voluntarily join Lost Soul City-State, I won't move my troops against you. You can rest assured."
Everyone felt relieved. As for how many of them were pretending, Zhao Hai didn't know. However, he already did what he needed to do and said what he needed to say. He didn't care if these people believed him or not.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I now want to be the Alliance Leader of the Sacred Academy Alliance. Does anyone have any opinions? Naturally, I'll say the ugly words first. After I become the Alliance Leader, I won't apply the previous rules to me, especially on the battlefield. If anyone doesn't listen to my orders, then I won't be polite. However, I can guarantee that I will do my best to be fair and just! "
