Now, everyone in the hall was excited because they had taken down Moro City regardless of the consequences, so they were obviously a little unhappy with Elder Li's gentle strategy.
However, everyone agreed with Elder Tan's proposal because they didn't want the war to stop just like that.
They had prepared for a long time to start this war and had even reconciled with their old enemy, the Dragon Eagle External Capital. It would be a pity if they were prepared to stop the war after occupying such a small territory.
Hence, they agreed with Elder Tan. Since the war had already started, they had to cripple Moro until they could no longer have any thoughts about Xiao Hai.
"Outer Monarch, it is precisely because of the existence of the Dragon Eagle that we have to stop the war in advance." When Elder Li saw how intense everyone was and how some of them even wanted to kill Moro directly, he felt even more anxious.
Moro's strength might be slightly inferior to their alliance with the Dragon Eagle, but if they really wanted to fight to the death, both sides would definitely suffer in the end. Naturally, he didn't want Xiao Hai to suffer a heavy blow.
"Oh? Elder Li, why is that? "Hearing Elder Li's words, the Outer Monarch was a little curious.
"Outer Monarch, although we have formed an alliance with the Dragon Eagle External Capital, we used to be enemies after all. Even now, Ru City is still in our hands. Do you think that the Dragon Eagle really doesn't have any hostility towards us? "Elder Li asked.
"Of course. Ru City's geographical location is very important. It is the throat that controls the entrance and exit of our two external dynasties. The Dragon Eagle definitely wants to take back Ru City!" Outer Monarch nodded and said.
"Outer Monarch is right. Because of this, even if we have formed an alliance with the Dragon Eagle, we can't completely trust them. I think the Dragon Eagle will not completely trust the Xiao Hai. This is the same reason! "Elder Li said.
"Yes, Elder Li, please continue!" Outer Monarch nodded.
"Since we can't completely trust each other, we will definitely be on guard against each other. Now that we have attacked Moro together, we have indeed achieved good results.
However, whether it is the Xiao Hai, the Dragon Eagle, or Moro, none of us have suffered any damage. We haven't even hurt each other's foundation.
Therefore, if we wait until Moro sends out experts, then both the Xiao Hai and the Dragon Eagle Alliance and Moro will suffer heavy losses.
Compared to these cities, I feel that our experts are far more important than these cities. As long as our experts are still here,
We can continue the siege at any time.
If we were to choose to retreat when facing these experts from Mo Luo's side, or even give up one or two pools to create the illusion that Mo Luo is retreating, what would happen to Mo Luo? "Elder Li said.
"Do you even need to ask? If we show weakness, then that Mo Luo will naturally take advantage of our victory to pursue and attack. They won't retreat unless we return all the cities we've seized to them, "Elder Tan said with dissatisfaction before the Outer King could speak.
When the Outer King heard that he had to return all the conquered cities to Moro, he obviously couldn't accept it. Although they hadn't sent out all their experts, they had sacrificed a lot of soldiers to take down these cities.
If it was returned to them just like that, they would naturally be unable to accept it. Furthermore, if they really did that, the morale of the Xiao Hai Army would plummet, which would be disadvantageous to the Xiao Hai Army.
"Elder Tan's words are not without reason. However, Elder Tan, don't forget that other than our Xiao Hai Army, there's still a great enemy in their territory, the Dragon Eagle.
Moreover, compared to our Xiao Hai Army, the hatred between Mo Luo and the Dragon Eagle is much deeper. Not to mention that Mo Luo has occupied a large number of Dragon Eagle's cities.
We previously sent a message to invite Mo Luo to attack the Dragon Eagle together, but Mo Luo sent this news to the Dragon Eagle. Now, the Dragon Eagle has allied with us and has even taken down so many of their cities. They have long hated the Dragon Eagle to the bone.
When they see that we have the intention to retreat, I'm afraid they may not pursue and attack us relentlessly. Instead, they will change their direction and besiege the Dragon Eagle, "Elder Li said.
"Since we can retreat, do you think the Dragon Eagle doesn't know how to retreat?" Elder Tan said disdainfully.
"I've already said that the hatred between the Dragon Eagle and Mo Luo is much deeper than ours. We can even give up these cities, but will the Dragon Eagle be willing? These cities used to belong to the Dragon Eagle. Now that we finally have a chance to take them back, do you think they will be willing to give up just like that? "Elder Li said.
"Elder Li is right. What's next?" Outer King nodded and asked.
"If the Dragon Eagle doesn't retreat and we have already retreated, then the Mo Luo will definitely use all their main forces to attack the Dragon Eagle. Even if a part of them is used to deal with us, it will definitely not be too strong.
Therefore, when the time comes, the Dragon Eagle and Mo Luo will definitely have a fierce battle. This way, it will be of great help to us in weakening the Dragon Eagle's strength! "Elder Li said.
When the Outer King heard that they could use this method to weaken the Dragon Eagle's strength, his eyes immediately lit up.
Although they were having a good time attacking the cities and plundering the land in Mo Luo's territory, the Dragon Eagle was doing the same thing. This meant that the Dragon Eagle's strength was also increasing like the Xiao Hai Army, which was not a good thing for the Xiao Hai Army.
If they could eliminate Mo Luo and weaken the Dragon Eagle's strength at the same time, then when the war ended, the final winner would definitely be the Xiao Hai Army.
"Outer King, Elder Li is thinking too simply of others. This plan will not work at all." However, just as the Outer King of the Xiao Hai Army was a little excited and wanted to agree with Elder Li's plan, Elder Tan once again refuted.
Elder Tan's bucket of cold water immediately sobered the Outer King up. He looked at Elder Tan and said, "What do you think, Elder Tan?"
"Outer King, this matter is not that simple at all. If we really retreat as Elder Li said, let's not talk about whether Mo Luo will turn his main forces to the Dragon Eagle.
Even if the Dragon Eagle really does turn to the Dragon Eagle with its strength, it will not be able to deal with the entire Mo Luo's main forces. Then, the Dragon Eagle's strength will indeed be affected. That is, our alliance may disintegrate. Even if it doesn't disintegrate and the Dragon Eagle is attacked, then Mo Luo will definitely target the Xiao Hai Army in the end.
If the Dragon Eagle is defeated, how can the Xiao Hai Army be a match for Mo Luo? At that time, we will even turn victory into defeat and become the real losers.
