"Outer King, I think Elder Tan is right. No matter what we do now, in the eyes of others, it is our Xiaohai City that has invaded Cyanwood City. If we return Cyanwood City to the Dragon Eagle, wouldn't the world treat us as a joke? I don't think it's possible to return Cyanwood City to the Dragon Eagle, "Elder Huang stood up and echoed Elder Tan's words.
"Do you really think that Cyanwood City belongs to our Xiaohai City? That's just a facade that outsiders see. This Cyanwood City is clearly in the hands of the people who attacked it. It has nothing to do with our Howling Sea. We might as well do Dragon Eagle a favor and return the Cyanwood City to them. "Elder Li insisted on his own idea.
"Elder Li, don't you think you're contradicting yourself? You just said it yourself. Cyanwood City is in the hands of those people. Since that's the case, how can we return Cyanwood City to the Dragon Eagle just because you say so?
When the time comes, the Dragon Eagle will send people to take over Cyanwood City, but they're attacked. Wouldn't that make the Dragon Eagle think that we're messing with them?
At that time, this matter will be even more difficult to explain. Who knows, the Dragon Eagle might launch a war against our Xiaohai City that isn't inferior to Moro Luo's. That'll be really troublesome, "Elder Tan said.
Elder Li immediately frowned. The situation that Elder Tan mentioned was indeed very likely to happen. After all, Cyanwood City wasn't in their hands, so they had no right to speak at all.
They had returned the Cyanwood City to the Dragon Hawk, but the Dragon Hawk really thought that they could take back the Cyanwood City. At that time, the people sent by the Dragon Hawk would probably all be killed by those people. That would really be a big matter.
Elder Li thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, we can also release a statement and explain the situation of Cyanwood City. We can let everyone know that Cyanwood City isn't actually occupied by our Xiaohai City!"
Although he felt that this wasn't a good idea, he felt that they couldn't just silently agree to this matter because it was very likely that they would fall into those people's trap.
"Elder Li, that's even more ridiculous. Do you think anyone will believe you if you release a statement like that? At the very least, Dragon Hawk wouldn't believe it, because Cyanwood City has already been taken from them, "Elder Tan continued to refute.
Seeing Elder Tan rebutting his words time and time again, Zhang Xuan felt a little displeased. "Elder Tan, what do you think we should do then?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether Moro is behind this or not. In any case, the Cyanwood City has already been freed from the hands of the Dragon Hawk. Even if the Cyanwood City is not in our hands, at least in terms of reputation, the Cyanwood City has already belonged to us, so there is no reason for us to give it up.
If we were to explain to Dragon Eagle or the world at this time, it would be superfluous. Not only would no one believe us, but it would also make people look down on us.
Since those people wanted to sow discord, then let them do as they pleased. Elder Li, didn't you also say that you wanted to weaken the Dragon Eagle's strength while Moro was weak? Why did he become so timid now? This is our chance to rise! "Elder Tan said.
"Is that so? But I also remember that Elder Tan said very clearly that we don't have enough strength to support two fronts! "Elder Li said sarcastically.
"When Elder Li raised this question, we indeed couldn't support two fronts, but the situation is different now. The situation changes with time. Previously, Moro's situation wasn't as bad as it is now. Based on the current situation, Moro won't be able to hold on for much longer.
Moreover, Moro has suffered heavy losses this time. Even without the Dragon Hawk, with our strength, we may still be able to cripple Moro.
Therefore, if we start a war with the Dragon Hawk now, it will be our chance! "Elder Tan said proudly.
The Outer King couldn't help but nod when he heard that. Although these elders all had their own interests and would argue when discussing important matters, he didn't deny that Elder Tan's analysis was very reasonable.
It wasn't suitable in the past, but it didn't mean that it wasn't suitable now. Moreover, if they attacked the Dragon Hawk previously, they were indeed worried that Moro would counterattack. However, based on the current situation, even if Moro counterattacked, Xiaohai wouldn't be very worried.
In the beginning, he was also worried that when he swallowed Moro, he would also bring a powerful Dragon Hawk to Xiaohai. Moreover, the Dragon Hawk's strength was stronger than Xiaohai's. This would indeed put Xiaohai under a lot of pressure, which was not conducive to Xiaohai's expansion in the east.
If they could suppress the Dragon Hawk a little, Xiaohai might take advantage of the situation and suppress the Dragon Hawk. Then, Xiaohai really wouldn't be afraid of anyone in the east.
Thinking of this, he was a little tempted. Since Moro wanted to sow discord, let him do it. If he knew that Xiaohai benefited from this, he didn't know what he would think. He was afraid that he would feel even more uncomfortable.
"Outer King, things are definitely not that simple. There is more than one Moro around us, and there is also Tian Cang in the south.
If we start a war with the Dragon Hawk, I'm afraid that Tian Cang won't sit still and wait for death. If Tian Cang attacks us at this time, what should we do? "Elder Li saw that the Outer King seemed to be persuaded by Elder Tan and suddenly became a little anxious.
"Isn't Elder Li's worry groundless? If Tian Cang wanted to attack us, he would have done so when we were fighting with Moro.
Now that we have the upper hand and Moro is powerless to fight back, would they still dare to fight us? Besides, Tian Cang has been playing dirty tricks in the south and they have also occupied a few of our cities. It can be said that they have already attacked us. Why would they wait until now? "Elder Tan said.
"Elder Tan's words make sense. Elder Li, this matter is decided. This time, we not only have to take down Moro, but we also have to make Dragon Hawk suffer a great loss. Only then can we guarantee Xiaohai's position in the east! From today onwards, immediately send more troops to Ru City. Dragon Hawk may have already made a move. We can't take it lightly. We must give Dragon Hawk a heavy blow! "The Outer King of Xiaohai said.
Elder Li still wanted to say more, but the Outer King stopped him, making him feel very helpless.

Cyanwood City.
Ever since the news of Cyanwood City being occupied by Xiaohai spread out, Qinghai had been a little nervous. Although he couldn't do anything about it, he also secretly passed the news to the Dragon Eagle Imperial Court, which made him feel a little relieved.
However, he didn't know what Dragon Hawk's decision was. Would they think that he had betrayed Dragon Hawk and send people to kill him?
He had no way of knowing these things. However, just today, he received news that Dragon Hawk had already sent troops to Cyanwood City.
This made Qinghai even more anxious. He didn't know what the outcome would be after Dragon Hawk sent troops to Cyanwood City.
However, what made him even more puzzled was that although Cyanwood City now belonged to the Xiaohai Imperial Court in the eyes of outsiders, there were no troops stationed in Cyanwood City. However, there were no troops stationed in Cyanwood City.
