The grains of the Holy Court were sent to Elephant City. Recently, Zhao Hai had been working here. Therefore, all of the grains were sent to Elephant City. Originally, after Zhao Hai changed the coordinates of the transmission formation, the people of the Yalong City wouldn't be able to use the formation to go to the other cities of the alliance. However, after thinking about it, Zhao Hai knew that this would arouse the suspicions of the She Family. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to leave a transmission formation in each city. These transmission formations were specifically used to communicate with the Yalong City.
Because of this, the people of the Yalong City-State had never realized that there was anything wrong with the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance.
Now that the She Family had sent all of the grains to Elephant City, they didn't have any good intentions. They wanted to annoy Zhao Hai. With so many grains in Zhao Hai's hands, if there was a shortage, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be able to explain himself.
However, the She Family's plan was doomed to fail. Zhao Hai had already established a monitoring team composed of several city-states. This monitoring team was responsible for monitoring the grains. Moreover, the grains were purely stored, the people of the Lost Soul City wouldn't come in contact with them.
After the Yalong City sent the grains, Zhao Hai's reinforcements also arrived at the frontline. This time, the one leading the troops was Stonehammer. The number of troops he led was exactly 100 thousand. These 100 thousand people were the 100 thousand people that Stonehammer led to Mount Zhuhua before. These 100 thousand people gathered together and went to the frontline.
After arriving at the frontline, Stonehammer and the others immediately took over a city in the frontline. At the same time, they also took over the city's grains.
Not long after Stonehammer and the others took over the city, the people of the Holy Court began to spread out and attack the city. Stonehammer and the others also began to fight, causing the war between the two sides to begin.
However, Stonehammer's group had a strong city to defend. The Sacred Court's attack didn't gain any advantage. Moreover, Stonehammer's group was very well defended. It was impossible for the Sacred Court to take down this city in a short time.
The people of the Sacred Academy also wanted to send Sky Dance Experts to deal with Stonehammer's army. However, they quickly discovered that Stonehammer's army also had a lot of Sky Dance Experts. Moreover, these Sky Dance Experts were all soldiers. Their coordination was very good. Dealing with a group of Sky Dance Experts like this was very difficult. Even if you use several times more experts to besiege them, they would still be able to retreat. If you send too few people, then you simply wouldn't be able to deal with these experts.
The stalemate between the two sides began. In order to prevent the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance from suspecting the Zhe Family, the people of the Sacred Academy even launched a feint attack on the other city-states. Of course, their attacks were all loud as thunder but small as raindrops. They didn't have much destructive power.
At this time, what were Zhao Hai's group doing? Zhao Hai's group was cleaning up the internal affairs of the alliance. This didn't mean that there were still people in the alliance who were loyal to the Sacred Court. In fact, the people of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance had already thought about it. They had already fought with the Sacred Court several times. At this time, it was impossible for them to leave the alliance and join the Sacred Court. The Sacred Court would certainly settle accounts with them in the future. Instead of waiting for death, they might as well go all out against the Sacred Court.
Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about the internal affairs of the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance. What they needed to clean up were the cities that they lost control of.
At any time, there was no lack of ambitious people. This was especially true for those who didn't have good foresight. And since these people were ambitious, it was easy for them to make mistakes. Because of the Sacred Court's attack, a lot of cities were in a state of power vacuum. This gave some ambitious people the opportunity to occupy these cities. They wanted to establish themselves as Kings or even become the City Lord of a small city. Zhao Hai's group wanted to clean up these people.
Naturally, these ambitious people weren't Zhao Hai's opponents. When Zhao Hai's army moved, these ambitious people were annihilated. Then, with the arrival of food, prices stabilized, and the arrival of the city's administrators, these cities were restored to peace in a short period of time.
This was actually a characteristic of the Spirit Weapon Realm. The Spirit Weapon Realm had been in chaos for many years. Because of this, the spirit of the ordinary people here had become very strong. Even if one day, their city's owner suddenly changed, they wouldn't be surprised.
What's more, they were attacked first, and then a guy jumped out and said that he was the owner of the city. Then, the original owner of the city reclaimed the city. Naturally, those people wouldn't feel any disgust towards it.
Additionally, the prices of the cities stabilized. Because of this, the problems of the cities were quickly solved. After these problems were solved, Zhao Hai and the others could now focus on other things.
Although these problems have been solved, it still took time to solve them. It took Zhao Hai and the others a full month to stabilize the rear. And during this time, Zhao Hai also installed formations in the cities of the various states.
After stabilizing the rear, Zhao Hai once again summoned the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance in Elephant City. At this time, the situation in Elephant City had already stabilized. Moreover, Zhao Hai also shifted the focus of his development to Elephant City. This was because Elephant City's scale was much bigger than the Lost Soul City and the Ordinary City.
However, Zhao Hai didn't give up on the Lost Soul City and the Puneng City. The Lost Soul City had now become Zhao Hai's talent base. Because of Zhao Hai's previous training, the Lost Soul City now had a lot of management personnel. And with the arrival of these management personnel, Elephant City was able to fall under Zhao Hai's control in a short time.
At this time, Elephant City's foundation was also revealed. Because the Nian Family was destroyed too quickly and too suddenly, they didn't have time to move their things. Therefore, all of the Nian Family's assets were left behind. And now, these assets were naturally taken over by Zhao Hai.
To be honest, the Nian Family's wealth was a lot. After receiving the Nian Family's wealth, Zhao Hai immediately invested all of it into the construction of Elephant City. Before long, Elephant City's medical and pension systems were established. After that, there were schools, an army, and a bank. Although Elephant City wasn't as good as Lost Soul City, it was still quite decent. Zhao Hai didn't think that Elephant City would be better than Lost Soul City.
Therefore, this time, the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was held in Elephant City. After all, Elephant City was currently the largest city under Zhao Hai's control. It would be a waste not to use it as the capital city.
As for those who came to Elephant City to participate in the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance Conference, the City Lords of the various city-states quickly noticed the changes in Elephant City. They had all been to Elephant City before, so they knew very well what it was like. Last time, for the sake of face, Nian Nineteen didn't only clean up the streets during the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance Conference, he also made everyone change into new clothes and drove away all the beggars. Although this made Elephant City look very prosperous, people with discerning eyes could tell at a glance.
Naturally, the City Lords of the various city-states could also see what was going on in Megaphone City. However, they didn't say anything. To be honest, Nian Nineteen's act of wanting to save face was normal in their eyes. If the Anti-Sacred Academy Conference was held in their City Union, they might do the same.
But this time, when they came to Elephant City, the situation was completely different. Elephant City looked very different compared to last time. First of all, the changes in the streets. Although the streets were cleaned in the past, because it was done temporarily, there were still a lot of blind spots. But this time, they discovered that there were almost no blind spots. Moreover, there were people cleaning the streets all the time. Most of the people who cleaned the streets were old and weak. Their workload wasn't very big, but the streets were indeed clean.
Also, the spirit of the people here had changed. When they came last time, although the people were wearing new clothes, they still gave off a lifeless feeling. Moreover, aside from those who were doing business, the rest of the people seemed to be lethargic. But this time, it was different. The people they saw were in high spirits. Although their clothes weren't new, their spirits were very good. Moreover, there were a lot of places in the city that were under construction. Everywhere gave off a feeling of vitality, as if a sleeping giant had suddenly woken up.
This change was very obvious. A lifeless city was completely different from a lively one. This was something that anyone could easily feel.
When the City Lords saw the changes in Elephant City, they were very surprised. They couldn't understand what kind of magic Zhao Hai used to make a city change in such a short time. This was really too miraculous.
This time, Zhao Hai also arranged a place for the City Lords to rest. Some of these places were inside the City Lord's Mansion while some were outside. It was up to the City Lords to decide.
After all of the City Lords arrived, Zhao Hai invited them to the City Lord's Mansion's hall. The place was also arranged like a conference hall.
After the City Lords arrived, Zhao Hai also arrived at the conference hall. Everyone stood up and gave Zhao Hai a salute. Zhao Hai also returned the salute. Then he sat down and looked at the crowd before he said, "This time, I've called everyone here for two things. First, the matters of the city-states have been dealt with. Next, we need to deal with the Lesser Dragon City-State. Because of this, the army of each city-state needs to be prepared. As for the provisions, we'll be responsible for them. However, you'll need to prepare your own supplies. How many soldiers do you have? Also, the resources of each city-state will no longer be under a unified management, each city-state will manage their own resources.
What do you think? "When everyone heard this, they didn't have any objections. After all, it would be very troublesome if all of the resources were to be managed in a centralized manner. But since the provisions were to be provided by Zhao Hai, then it would be natural for Zhao Hai to manage them. Because of this, everyone didn't have any objections.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "This time, we will dispatch troops, but don't rush to attack the Family Alliance. After we dispatch troops, I will use the excuse that they have been fighting in the frontlines for a long time and have them retreat to the rear to rest. Of course, this includes the 100 thousand troops that were sent to support the Family Alliance. Later on, I will arrange some troops to block the Holy Courtyard's attack, so there won't be a lot of troops. As for the rest of the troops, I will have them rest in the cities of the Yalong City-State. This is also a good excuse for the troops to stay in different cities. This way, we can use the formations of the cities to transport troops to the frontlines in a short period of time. After all of this is arranged, we will attack the Family Alliance. Everyone, remember this, when we attack the Family Alliance, I will give the troops a target to attack. You don't need to do anything else, as long as you can take down the target, that's all. Naturally, the Long Family will cooperate with the entire process. Does anyone have any objections?" Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Yes.
Everyone carefully thought about Zhao Hai's words. They understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai's plan was to have the troops of the other city-states take over the defense of the frontlines. This way, if the Family Alliance were to fight, then the Sacred Academy would have to break through the defensive line. However, it was clear that this wasn't an easy matter. Therefore, the Sacred Academy wouldn't be able to help the Family Alliance. This was tantamount to beating the dogs behind closed doors.
Then Zhao Hai arranged the troops of the other city-states to the cities of the Yalong City-State. The reason for this was to make it more convenient to support the frontlines. If all the troops were placed in one city, then they would only be able to use one transmission formation, which would be very slow. But if they were placed in different cities, then they would be able to use multiple formations at the same time. Naturally, the speed would be faster. Zhao Hai believed that the people of the Yalong City-State wouldn't object to this. Naturally, this was just an excuse. The purpose was to make it more convenient for Zhao Hai to arrange the troops of the other city-states in the cities of the Yalong City-State. When the time comes to deal with the Family Alliance, these troops would be able to move in the shortest time possible and attack the Family Alliance in one fell swoop. This arrangement could be said to be flawless. Naturally, nobody would have any objections.
When Zhao Hai saw that nobody had any objections, he nodded and said, "Alright, this is the first thing I wanted to talk about. Now that this matter is over, I'll talk about the second thing. This second thing should be an internal matter of the Lost Soul City-State. However, this matter involves a lot of things, so I think it's better to tell everyone about it. The second thing is that from today onwards, the Stone Ox City, Blood-Knife City, Roaring Tiger City, Deer City, and Galloping Horse City will officially join the Lost Soul City-State. They will become the Stone Ox City, Blood-Knife City, Roaring Tiger City, Deer City, and Galloping Horse City!"
