This time, when Zhao Hai held the Anti-Holy Academy Conference, the Family Alliance didn't participate. Zhao Hai informed them to participate, but they didn't. They didn't even send a representative. This didn't mean that the Family Alliance found out that there was something wrong with Zhao Hai. They were just angry and didn't want to see Zhao Hai again.
During the battle with New Year's First, they managed to get a lot of food. Although these food were given to the Holy Academy, they agreed that they would share it equally with the Holy Academy. In other words, the food that the Family Alliance sent to Zhao Hai for disaster relief didn't all belong to the Holy Academy, half of it belonged to the Family Alliance. Although these things were free, in the end, these things belonged to them. With their greedy nature, they naturally didn't want to take out these food. But now, more than half of these food were taken out and given to the other city-states. How could they not be angry?
Because of this, they didn't want to participate in the Anti-Holy Academy Conference. It just so happened that the Holy Academy was attacking them. Although the attack was a feint, they could still use this as an excuse to not participate in the conference. They just needed to know what happened during the conference.
Zhao Hai didn't hide anything from them and directly told them about the decision made during the conference. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't tell them the truth. What Zhao Hai said was that there were two things that were discussed during the conference. First, they decided to send troops to Yalong City as soon as possible to support the frontline. The second was that Stonebull City had joined the Lost Soul City.
To be honest, when they heard that Stonebull City had voluntarily joined the Lost Soul City, the Family Alliance were shocked. They didn't think that this would happen. At the same time, they also discovered that they had made a lot of mistakes. If they did what Zhao Hai did, then Yalong City wouldn't be as big as it was now, it would be much bigger.
However, it was clear that it was already too late for them to make a move. This made the Family Alliance hate Zhao Hai even more. In their opinion, if they couldn't get something, then it would be best for others to not get it. If they couldn't get it and someone else got it, then they would hate the other party. And now, Zhao Hai was the target of their hatred.
But no matter what, Zhao Hai's decision to come to the Lesser Dragon City was a good thing for them. Zhao Hai's arrival in the Lesser Dragon City meant that he was in their territory. This made it easier for them to monitor Zhao Hai's group. Moreover, they can also report Zhao Hai's actions to the Holy Court. As long as the Holy Court defeats Zhao Hai's group, then they would immediately announce that they would join the Holy Court. When that time comes, the Anti-Holy Alliance would suffer another blow. At that time, it wouldn't be too long before the Anti-Holy Alliance was destroyed.
Because of this, the Family Alliance didn't suspect anything when they received Zhao Hai's notification that the army would arrive soon. Moreover, the army would be divided into two groups. One group would go to the frontline to replace the frontline troops while the other group would rest and reorganize in the rear. Moreover, it wasn't just one city, but several cities.
Then the Family Alliance made some preparations. Naturally, they were prepared to receive the army. They were still part of the Anti-Holy Alliance, so they needed to receive the Anti-Holy Alliance's army.
Ten days after Zhao Hai held the Anti-Holy Alliance Conference, Zhao Hai personally led 300,000 troops into Yalong City. These 300,000 troops were just the vanguard. They would go to the frontline and replace the frontline troops. Then another 200,000 troops would arrive. These 200,000 troops would rest and reorganize in the rear. Then when the frontline troops were tired, they would be replaced. Zhao Hai had already prepared himself for a long war with the Holy Court.
Regarding Zhao Hai's decision, the Family Alliance didn't oppose it. Their army had been wanting to withdraw for a long time. It wasn't that they were tired, it was just that they needed to replace Zhao Hai's army. Only then would the Holy Court be able to attack freely. Only then would Zhao Hai's army suffer losses.
When Zhao Hai arrived, he also went to Yalong City and lived in the City Lord's Mansion. Zhao Hai wanted the Family Alliance to believe that he had nothing to do with the Long Family.
The Family Alliance didn't think this way. In their opinion, the Long Family was just a dead dragon. There was nothing to worry about. They didn't know that Zhao Hai was living in the City Lord's Mansion. This made it more convenient for Zhao Hai to discuss with the Long Family.
In the Long Family's study room, three people were sitting. One was Long Tianlin, the other was the old servant of the Long Family, and the last one was Zhao Hai.
Long Tianlin was still sizing up Zhao Hai. This was the first time he saw Zhao Hai. In the past, he only heard about Zhao Hai, but this was the first time he saw him. Naturally, he also knew about Zhao Hai's achievements. In a short period of time, Zhao Hai's Bewitching City-State had become the biggest city-state in the Spirit Weapon World. It was even twice as big as the Yalong City-State. This speed of development was really surprising. Naturally, what was even more surprising was that Zhao Hai's development didn't leave behind any hidden dangers. Although there might be some hidden dangers, these hidden dangers weren't very big.
Zhao Hai looked at Long Tianlin, then he turned his head to look at the old man. Then he smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect City Lord Long to be so young. To have such endurance and willpower at such an age is really rare. As for Old Man, you've really worked hard. I, Zhao Hai, admire loyal people the most. Old Man's family members are the kind of people I admire the most."
The old man smiled faintly and said, "City Lord Zhao is too polite. The Young Master is really smart."
Long Tianlin also looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Compared to you, City Lord Zhao, I'm too far behind. For the Bewitching City-State to become the biggest city-state in the Spirit Weapon World in such a short period of time, I really admire you."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Step by step, you can naturally do it. There's nothing special about it."
Long Tianlin smiled and said, "City Lord Zhao is too polite. Right, City Lord Zhao, I just want to know about the city-states that have joined the Bewitching City-State. They are still in control of their own affairs. Aren't you afraid that something will happen in the future? Or have you decided to slowly deal with those city-states in the future? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Why would I want to deal with them? Do you think that by controlling the affairs of those city-states, they will become a threat in the future? If my descendants fail to live up to expectations in the future, then it is very likely that they will revolt. In this way, the Spirit Weapon World will once again fall into chaos, and my descendants will be in danger, right? "
Long Tianlin didn't hide anything, he just nodded and said, "Right, that's what I meant. If I were you, City Lord Zhao Hai, then after unifying the Spirit Weapon World, I would slowly deal with those families. After dealing with those families, the world would naturally be peaceful."
"Then how long will the world be peaceful? When the old family is gone, a new family will appear. When the old ambitious family is gone, a new ambitious family will appear. Everyone is ambitious. No matter what time it is, there is no lack of ambitious people in the world, isn't there? "
"That's a matter for the future. As long as we destroy those families and deal a blow to those powerful families, then we can guarantee a thousand years of peace for our families."
"What about a thousand years later? Hehe, your method is also a method that ordinary people use. Everyone will do the same. Sometimes, force is the best way to solve problems. But sometimes, solving a problem doesn't necessarily require force. Force isn't the only way to solve a problem. "
"I'd like to hear about it!"
Furthermore, the generals will not have the authority to directly mobilize the army, while the City Lord will not be able to interfere in the military and politics. The judicial system will also be independent. If anyone breaks the law, they will be dealt with by the judicial system. The City Lord will not have the authority to deal with them. As for the position of the City Lord of Lost Spirits, I do not intend to let my family monopolize this position. All the City Lords of the city districts will have the qualifications to be the City Lord, but you will have to decide through an election. And the people who vote will be all the ordinary people in the Spirit Weapon World. "
Actually, what Zhao Hai said was still very vague and confusing. But with the current situation in the Spirit Weapon World, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to truly achieve democracy. Therefore, he could only use such a method to explain. As for whether Long Tianlin and the old man could understand, that would depend on their ability to understand.
As expected, the two of them didn't quite understand. Long Tianlin lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Then according to what you said, theoretically, anyone can become the City Lord? Is that really possible? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Of course not right now. People still don't understand what I'm talking about, but they will slowly come to understand. I believe that once they understand, then we can proceed. At that time, people will find out that you can become a City Lord by winning over the common people. If they want you to be a City Lord, then you can do so. If they don't want you to be a City Lord, then you can't. In other words, you can become a City Lord without fighting. Wouldn't that be better?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "That's right.
Long Tianlin understood Zhao Hai's intention. Zhao Hai's intention was very clear, he wanted to carry out a reform. He wanted to break the traditions of the Spirit Weapon Realm that had existed for many years. In the Spirit Weapon Realm, there were a lot of City Lord's clans that were destroyed by their subordinates. Zhao Hai's reform would make everyone understand that as long as they have the support of ordinary people, they can become a City Lord. They don't need to mutiny, they don't need to kill the original City Lord's clan. As long as they have the support of ordinary people, they can become a City Lord. The replacement of City Lords can be carried out without bloodshed. This was something that they didn't think about before.
