"Then what do you think we should do now? Are you going to inform them? "Elder Huang asked helplessly.
He thought that Elder Qian was right, but he still felt that it wasn't wise to inform the others. Otherwise, they would die faster.
Although it was dangerous to not inform the others, he felt that they still had a higher chance of survival. Compared to the death of everyone, it was more important for them to survive.
Although it might be immoral to do so, it was better for everyone else to die. He didn't want to die yet. It was better for others to die than for him.
"Elder Gongsun, I might have a method that satisfies both sides." Just as Elder Gongsun was unable to make up his mind, Elder Bai, who was beside him, spoke up.
"Oh? Tell me about it, Elder Bai. "Elder Gongsun's eyes lit up, but Elder Huang didn't seem to be interested.
Obviously, in his view, it was the safest way for them to leave An Tong City quietly. There was no such thing as the best of both worlds.
They said this just to save the others and shut his mouth at the same time, so he naturally didn't have any interest.
"Elder Gongsun has already sent people to Ru City, but it will take at least two days for Ru City to send reinforcements. However, if we leave Antong City now, we might not be able to meet the reinforcements from Ru City. If that's the case, we'll be in danger if we encounter Xiao Hai's ambush after leaving the city.
Therefore, we can't leave the city now. At least, we have to wait until the reinforcements arrive at Ru City. If that's the case, we can inform the others to leave the city together. As long as we can hold on for half a day, we'll be able to meet our reinforcements.
What can Xiao Hai do if we have reinforcements? "Elder Bai voiced out his thoughts.
He felt that it wasn't the right time to leave the city without informing the others, or to inform the others to leave the city together. Either way would only lead to death.
That was the only way to save everyone's lives.
"How can we do that? According to Elder Bai, we have to wait for at least another day in Antong City. Do you know what the consequences of doing this are? At that time, not only will the Howling Army from the North's Tai Hua City and the South's Wanzhou City arrive at the north and south gates, the ambush they sent will also arrive at the west gate. Do you think we still have a chance to get out of the city? "Elder Huang asked.
Now that An Tong City was in danger, they couldn't stay in the city any longer. Moreover, Xiao Hai obviously came prepared. They didn't have enough manpower. If they were surrounded on all sides, it wouldn't take more than a day for Antong City to be conquered by Xiao Hai.
Now that the city was breached, they had no way out. They would only be surrounded and annihilated.
Therefore, to him, this was not a way to get the best of both worlds. It was simply a way to wipe out the entire army.
"Elder Huang, you're underestimating our strength too much. Wasn't it just Xiao Hai? They were nothing more than a motley crew. If we want to hold on for a day, it's very simple. "Elder Qian never thought that he would be afraid of Xiao Hai.
As long as Xiao Hai dared to come, he wouldn't let them go back alive.
However, Elder Huang didn't argue with Elder Qian. In his opinion, Elder Qian was always impulsive. He didn't use his brain when he spoke.
The enemy was strong while they were weak. They had so many Tribulation Passing Experts, how could he turn the situation around by himself? If they didn't send Tribulation Passing Experts, perhaps he could brag like this.
Therefore, Elder Huang directly filtered out Elder Qian's words.
"Elder Gongsun, do you think we can hold on for a day?" Elder Huang looked at Elder Gongsun and asked.
"This …" Elder Gongsun was a little hesitant. He was indeed calculating this possibility.
Looking at the big picture, Elder Bai's plan was indeed the best, because they couldn't go back on their word and leave their companions here to bear the infamy.
However, to do so, like what Elder Bai said, they had to defend An Tong City for a day. Normally, a day was a very short period of time, but in this situation, a day was very long.
This time, Xiao Hai obviously wanted to catch all the Dragon Eagle experts in one fell swoop. Therefore, Xiao Hai was very powerful now. It wouldn't be easy to hold on for a day in An Tong City.
However, this didn't mean that they couldn't hold on for a day. If they really put their lives on the line, it was possible to hold on for a day.
"Elder Huang, even though Elder Qian's words may not be entirely correct, I think it's not impossible for us to persevere for a day!" Elder Gongsun calculated in his heart again and again and felt that there was still a chance of success.
"Really? Elder Gongsun, are you really that confident? " Elder Huang didn't really believe Elder Gongsun. After all, his decision could very likely cost him his life. He naturally didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Elder Huang, how confident are you that you can return to Ru City alive if we leave the city now?" Elder Gongsun asked.
"At least more confident than staying here for a day," Elder Huang said calmly.
To be honest, if they really encountered Xiao Hai's ambush, he really didn't have much confidence. However, he naturally didn't want to admit defeat in front of them. At least, he was more inclined to leave the city now than stay in the city.
Now that Xiao Hai was attacking the city intensely, it was only a matter of time before the city was breached. If they really breached the city, they might not be able to hold off Xiao Hai for long.
They could only rush out as soon as possible so that Xiao Hai's army at the east gate and Xiao Hai's army that was about to reach the south and north gates would be stopped by others. Only the west gate was left unguarded.
If they were lucky, those ambushers might not reach the west gate and Ru City yet. In this case, they could all reach Ru City without any casualties.
"Elder Huang, I understand how you feel. However, we've been friends for thousands of years. I really can't give up on them now. I'm willing to accept Elder Bai's suggestion and hold on for a day in An Tong City. If Elder Huang wants to leave the city now, I won't stop you! " Elder Gongsun could basically confirm Elder Huang's thoughts when he saw his expression. There was no need for him to insist.
"…" Elder Huang obviously didn't expect Elder Gongsun to say this.
However, he hesitated at this moment. If he were to leave the city alone, it would be dangerous and the success rate would be very high. If he was lucky, he could return to Ru City safely.
