"We've been monitoring the Clan Alliance for a long time. Later on, Year 19 became the Alliance Lord. However, Year 19 was very close to the Clan Alliance, so we didn't dare to contact him. Therefore, we could only contact Alliance Lord Zhao Hai. Alliance Lord Zhao Hai told us to continue monitoring the Clan Alliance, but not to contact the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. If anything happens to the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance, we wouldn't care."
Long Yun looked at the reactions of the various city-states and continued, "I think everyone already knows what happened after that. The Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance jointly sent troops. Then you were in a deadlock outside the Nanhua Gate. Year 19 thought that he was smart and left his provisions in the rear cities. He didn't do anything wrong. However, he didn't know that the Clan Alliance had already colluded with the Sacred Academy. Since he left his provisions in the rear cities, the Sacred Academy had already arranged people to transport the provisions out until the provisions were burned. Actually, at that time, the amount of provisions left in the rear cities was already less than 10%. Therefore, the provisions that were burned weren't that much."
Upon hearing Long Yun, the various city-states' City Lords were gnashing their teeth in anger. They finally understood that their previous failure was completely due to someone else's scheme. Hateful, too hateful.
Long Yun looked at everyone and said, "Right now, the Yalong City-State is in a confrontation with the Sacred Institute. In fact, there have only been a few symbolic attacks between the two sides. A real battle has yet to happen. Therefore, the Zhe Clan's request for reinforcements is simply a lie. He just wants you to send reinforcements. I think that when the time comes, he'll have the Sacred Institute attack and use this opportunity to consume the troops of the other city-states."
After saying this, Long Yun paused for a moment. Then he looked at the various city-states' City Lords and said, "This is what our Long Family knows. Today, I've said everything that needs to be said." After he said that, he cupped his fist towards everyone and then went to the side to find a chair to sit down. However, everyone was still discussing Long Yun's matter.
At this moment, someone said, "Mr. Long Yun, did you notice that Year 19 had contact with people from the Sacred Institute?"
When Long Yun heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "No, Nineteen didn't have much contact with us. When he was in the Lesser Dragon City, he didn't have any contact with the word 'Holy'. However, he did have a lot of contact with the Family Alliance. However, they don't seem to be in an alliance. I really don't know what their relationship is."
Bang! One of the City Lords slammed the table and said, "Good job, Alliance Head, good job. Year 19 deserved to die, regardless of whether or not he colluded with the word 'Saint', he deserved to die." These words received the support of many other City Lords.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone, then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to say that. Right now, we should discuss how to deal with the Family Alliance. The reason why I asked the Family Alliance to give us food was because I wanted them to give us food from the Sacred Institute. The Family Alliance has always treated the Lesser Dragon City's things as their own. Therefore, they wouldn't really transfer food from the Lesser Dragon City. They would certainly ask the Sacred Institute for food. And in order for the Family Alliance to gain more benefits, they would certainly give the Family Alliance food so that they can continue to gain our trust. Therefore, we don't need to be polite with them."
Everyone nodded. They wanted to laugh, but when they thought about how they were played by the Family Alliance and the word 'Holy', they weren't in the mood to laugh.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "As for the matter of going to the Lesser Dragon City's frontlines, what do you think?"
When the City Lords heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but stare. Then one of the City Lords immediately said, "Of course we won't go. Alliance Lord, if we send troops, then the Family Alliance would certainly send the Sacred Institute to attack us. When that time comes, our losses would certainly be huge. Therefore, I don't think we should send troops. We should delay the Family Alliance first."
Everyone nodded. However, Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, I think we should send troops. Not only do we need to send troops, we also need to take over the frontlines' defense. Moreover, we need to fight the Sacred Institute."
The City Lords were puzzled as they looked at Zhao Hai. They didn't understand what he meant. Zhao Hai looked at the City Lords and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Why do we know that this is a trap? Why do we still want to jump in? Haha, actually, I think that this is an opportunity. Everyone can imagine that if we don't send people to take over the frontline defense, then one day, if we really fall out with the Family Alliance, then the Family Alliance will lead the Sacred Army to attack Yalong City. At that time, what should we do? Would we just watch helplessly as the Lesser Dragon City falls? Even if the Long family is there, we'll only be able to provide support. That's why we have to control the frontline's defense. As long as we have that defensive line, we'll be able to block the Saint's attack. Then we'll be able to deal with the family alliance. "
Speaking up to here, Zhao Hai paused for a moment before he continued, "The Family Alliance isn't easy to deal with. In the past few years, the Family Alliance has been doing very well in the Lesser Dragon City. Although we have the help of the Long Family, it still wouldn't be easy to deal with them. Moreover, we must succeed in one blow, we can't give them a chance to counterattack. Because the Family Alliance has the Sacred Institute as a strong ally, we need to send more people to the frontlines. First, we need to take over the frontlines' defense, and second, we need to send people to the Lesser Dragon City. Then when the time comes, we can attack the Family Alliance in one fell swoop. Everyone, if we send troops to the Lesser Dragon City, then the Family Alliance would immediately go all out against us. But this time is different. This time, the Family Alliance invited us, so how can we let go of such a good opportunity? As long as we eradicate the Family Alliance, then the Anti-Holy Alliance would be as strong as an iron plate. When the time comes, we can have a good fight with the Sacred Institute."
When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but nod. At this time, they really admired Zhao Hai. Every step that Zhao Hai said had been planned out. They just needed to follow his instructions. Compared to Year 19, who didn't have a plan, the difference between them and Zhao Hai was too big.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, this matter is only known to a few people. I hope that you don't tell anyone about this, even your commanders. This is because once this matter is leaked, then we would have to face a double attack from both the Family Alliance and the Holy Court. Do you understand?"
Everyone's expression turned cold. They knew that this matter wasn't a trivial matter. If something were to happen, then the consequences would be unimaginable. They didn't want to experience another failure. Therefore, all of them obeyed.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "Alright, it's good that everyone agrees. Everyone, go back and prepare. I've already said that we'll provide food to support everyone. This time, you don't need to worry, the food will arrive in two days. Everyone, prepare your troops, then you can set out when the time comes." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Everyone nodded. In fact, solving the food problem of their city-state had always been their most important matter. Compared to the battle with the word 'Holy', they were more concerned about this matter. This was because the word 'Holy' was still far away. If they don't get enough food, then their city-state would be in chaos. That would be troublesome.
Zhao Hai stood up and looked at everyone. Then he laughed and said, "Everyone, now that we've talked about serious matters, let's talk about some happy things. I've already had Old Lu prepare some food and wine. Everyone, please give us some face. We won't go back until we're drunk."
When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but laugh. Then they moved to the dining hall. Sure enough, the food and wine were already prepared. Everyone ate and drank freely. It seems like their relationship had improved a lot.
Everyone drank until midnight before they dispersed. The next morning, they bid farewell to Zhao Hai and left. This time, they truly acknowledged Zhao Hai as their Alliance Lord.
After the She Family's Patriarch and the others returned to the Yalong City, although they were very angry, they still immediately asked for food from the Holy Court. Just like what Zhao Hai said, the She Family's Patriarch and the others had already regarded the Yalong City as their own property. Now that they were working for the Holy Court, how could they take out their own property to work for the Holy Court? Because of this, when Zhao Hai asked for food, the She Family's Patriarch immediately asked for food from the Holy Court. In the She Family's Patriarch's opinion, most of the Alliance's food had already been taken by the Holy Court. Now that they were working for the Holy Court, how could they take out their own property to work for the Holy Court? Because of this, when Zhao Hai asked for food, the She Family's Patriarch immediately asked for food from the Holy Court. In the She Family's Patriarch's opinion, most of the Alliance's food had already been taken by the Holy Court.
When the Holy Court received the letter from the She Family's Patriarch, they were also very angry. They were now disgusted with the Family Alliance's greed. However, now that they needed the Family Alliance, they couldn't just fall out with them. In their opinion, the Family Alliance had already been exposed to the Anti-Holy Court. They had no way to deal with the Family Alliance. Even if they spread the word that the Family Alliance was on their side, who would believe them? The Anti-Holy Court might think that they were deliberately saying this in order to get rid of the Family Alliance. This might backfire and push the Family Alliance to the Anti-Holy Court's side. Because of this, they couldn't do this. They could only pinch their noses and directly give the food to the Family Alliance.
Naturally, they didn't lose anything. The grains that they gave to the alliance were all stolen from the alliance. But now, it was equivalent to giving them back to the Anti-Holy Academy Alliance. They didn't lose anything, but thinking about it made them feel disgusted. They worked hard to steal the grains, but now they have to give it back. This made them feel very aggrieved.
On the other hand, the Zhe Clan's Patriarch and the others didn't think the same. When they saw that the Sacred Court had sent them food, they felt relieved. At the same time, they knew that their status in the hearts of the Sacred Court was very high. Knowing this was enough!
