"Tian Cang has kept his word since he wants to get resources from us." Elder Long was still on his way back to Mo Luo, but he had already received news that Tian Cang had deployed troops to Cangyang City and Wanzhou City.
Hearing this news, Elder Long's worried heart finally relaxed. He also felt a little relieved. At least they didn't lose so many resources for nothing.
However, he knew very well that the reason why Tian Cang was so cooperative was because they really wanted the resources that Mo Luo had given them. If they didn't cooperate or couldn't rescue Mo Luo from his predicament, those resources would all be in vain.
Looking at the contract in his hand, Elder Long's face was a little helpless and bitter. At the same time, he felt a little angry and humiliated. What he experienced in Tian Cang this time was the best interpretation of this world.
Your weakness proves that you can only be bullied by others forever.
The only thing he was worried about now was Mo Luo's situation. He didn't know how Mo Luo was doing after such a long time. Although Tian Cang had sent out his troops, how the Dragonhawks and the Howling Sea would respond was another matter.
If the Dragon Hawk and Xiaohai continued to attack Mo Luo under the pressure of Tian Cang, Mo Luo's situation would probably be very bad.
Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on the contract and sped up his return to the city. Before Tian Cang obtained the contract signed by the Outer Monarch, he absolutely wouldn't start a war with Xiaohai. He was just using 500,000 troops to scare them.
Moreover, they had already discussed about the Dragon Hawk. Xiaohai would belong to Tian Cang, while the Dragon Hawk would belong to Mo Luo. Therefore, even if Tian Cang got the resources, he wouldn't make a move. At most, he would send more troops to attract a portion of the Dragon Hawk's troops.
Therefore, whether Mo Luo could turn the situation around or not depended on himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get back so many cities that he had lost.

Mo Luo's frontline.
As one of the main generals of Mo Luo's frontline, Kong Jiang was in charge of the battlefield on Xiaohai's side. In the past, he wouldn't have paid attention to a small Xiaohai.
After all, Xiaohai was only a foreign dynasty with more than 200 cities at that time. Such a sphere of influence could only be considered as below average in the eastern region.
Of course, the number of cities did not represent the full strength of a foreign dynasty. However, with more cities, the sphere of influence would naturally expand. With a wider territory, the resources would naturally increase. With more resources, there would also be more talents.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, the number of cities couldn't completely represent the strength of a dynasty, but it was also a very important factor in influencing the strength of the dynasty.
However, it had never crossed his mind that Xiao Hai would join forces with Dragonhawk to attack Mo Luo. Xiao Hai might not be able to withstand a single blow from Mo Luo, but the addition of the Dragon Hawk, whose strength was similar to or even stronger than Xiao Hai, would put a lot of pressure on Mo Luo.
Hence, he was under a lot of pressure during this period of time. Moro was fighting on two fronts. In this way, his military strength would be divided into two. Under the powerful attacks of Xiao Hai and Dragonhawk, Mo Luo was actually retreating step by step. Although he could occasionally turn the tables, many of Mo Luo's cities were still in the hands of Xiao Hai and Dragonhawk.
Now, the city that they were guarding was called Fengyuan City. It was a first-class city. Originally, this place was very prosperous with a dense population and developed commerce and agriculture. However, because of the flames of war, many people and merchants in this city fled.
Fengyuan City began to become a little desolate. More importantly, during this period of time, in order to take down Fengyuan City, Xiao Hai could be said to have spared no expense. A large number of cultivators were not afraid of death as they constantly attacked Fengyuan City.
Fortunately, Fengyuan City's formation was powerful. They had been attacking Fengyuan City for half a month, but they still couldn't break it. Even so, Fengyuan City's military strength was heavy. It would only be a few days before Fengyuan City was breached.
If there were no reinforcements, when Fengyuan City was breached, it would be hard for them to escape death.
Kong Jiang stood on the city tower and looked at the soldiers of Xiao Hai who were fiercely attacking the city. He held a long sword in his hand and killed a Nascent Soul cultivator who wanted to go up the city tower.
Looking at the cultivators of the Howling Sea below the city walls, who kept attacking the city and killing the Devil Luo cultivators on the city walls, he felt very angry and helpless. Since when did their Mo Luo become so vulnerable in front of Xiao Hai?
Perhaps it was because Mo Luo had repeatedly lost its cities, the morale of Mo Luo's soldiers had plummeted while the morale of Xiao Hai's soldiers had soared. This drop in morale and rise in morale had a great impact on the combat strength of both sides.
The morale of Mo Luo's soldiers was so low that they were somewhat afraid of fighting. However, the soldiers of Xiao Hai were getting more and more courageous as they fought. All of their faces were filled with fighting spirit.
"General, let's retreat. I'm afraid that Fengyuan City can't be held!" A deputy general came in front of Kong Jiang and looked at the situation in front of him and said helplessly.
"Retreat! As the main general of the resistance against Xiao Hai and the defending general of Fengyuan City, how can we retreat? Today, no matter what, we can't let Xiao Hai break through Fengyuan City! "Kong Jiang said firmly with a solemn face.
Fengyuan City wasn't just a first-class city. At the same time, it was also the second pass of Mo Luo. This was the main road to the interior of Mo Luo. Once Fengyuan City was breached, the army of Xiao Hai would be able to enter the depths of Mo Luo.
At that time, the army of Xiao Hai would be able to split up and continuously attack the depths of Mo Luo. It would be even more difficult for the Dragon Hawks to annihilate these people.
Therefore, they had to hold on until the arrival of the reinforcements. Otherwise, they could only fight to their deaths here.
"But Xiao Hai has too many soldiers. Our people can't hold on for much longer!" The deputy general said with a troubled expression.
Xiao Hai was getting more and more ferocious as the battle went on. In addition, they had more people than them. Fortunately, they were still defending the city and had some advantages. Otherwise, they would have been annihilated by Xiaohai a long time ago.
Even so, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long with such a small number of people. If they didn't retreat now, it would be too late when the city was breached.
"I said that we must not retreat. Fengyuan City can't be breached in our hands. Otherwise, we will be the sinners of Mo Luo. Now, no matter how difficult it is, we have to stop Xiao Hai. Now, our reinforcements are on the way. Everyone, hold on for a little longer. We will be victorious soon! "Kong Jiang shouted loudly.
Woo woo woo!
However, at this moment, the sound of metal clanging could be heard from the Xiao Hai. After hearing this long sound, the soldiers of Xiao Hai suddenly retreated like the tide. Soon, they couldn't see the people of Xiao Hai below the city.
