Everyone had mixed feelings about City Lord Hong's failure in the auction of the Cultivation Pill in Yungui City.
Back then, they really didn't want City Lord Hong to bid for the Cultivation Pill. After all, it was definitely not a good thing for the cities around Hong City.
However, who would have thought that the White City Alliance would suddenly launch an attack on them?
Although the White City Alliance had only occupied the Xian Yue City, it was hard to believe that the neighboring White City Alliance wouldn't continue to annex other cities.
Moreover, the Xian Yue City used to be the gateway to their cities. Now that the Xian Yue City had fallen, the White City Alliance didn't plan to continue attacking their cities.
However, who could guarantee that the White City Alliance wouldn't attack their cities again in the future? After all, the Xian Yue City belonged to them, so they could attack them whenever they wanted.
Therefore, the occupation of the Xian Yue City was like a thorn in their hearts. In the future, they would have to live in fear every day, and they would have to be on guard against the White City Alliance at any time to see if they would be attacked.
Obviously, no one wanted to live such a life.
However, they had already missed the opportunity to obtain the Quasi-Immortal Elixir. Even if they were willing to help Castellan Hong snatch the Cultivation Elixir back, it was impossible.
"It's meaningless to talk about this now. Now that the White City Alliance has made a move, we can only unite.
The White City Alliance has a total of 12 cities, while we have 25 cities on our side. In terms of numbers, we are twice as many as them, so we actually have an advantage.
Yes.
However, we didn't expect the White City Alliance to suddenly attack us, so it will take time for the reinforcements of all the cities to arrive in Long City or Yuncheng.
However, before we set off for Long City, I sent people to send signals to all the cities.
If the White City Alliance doesn't send troops to Long City or Yuncheng during this time, we should be able to wait for these reinforcements.
As long as these reinforcements arrive, we can basically resist the White City Alliance, "City Lord Hong said.
Although he was very uncomfortable about the Cultivation Pill, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
He knew very well what these people were thinking in their hearts. Now, they might say that they should have helped him obtain that Cultivation Pill, but what was the point of doing so?
Because right now, their safety was being threatened, but when their lives were not being threatened, they simply would not think of helping him fight for the Cultivation Pill.
Therefore, he did not take these people's words seriously.
However, he didn't want to destroy everyone's unity at this time, because in the current situation, they could only survive this disaster if everyone was united.
Otherwise, everyone would be in a state of disunity, and they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
"I'm afraid the White City Alliance won't wait that long. Tan City, Yellow City, and a few other cities are the furthest from us, but it will take them at least ten days to get here.
Although the White City Alliance hasn't sent out their troops yet, I don't think they'll wait for ten days! "said the lord of Huai City.
"City Lord Hong, since you're here, shouldn't we station our forces outside the city so that the White City Alliance can retreat?" City Lord Long asked.
Although City Lord Hong and these City Lords brought people to help him, he didn't feel at ease.
After all, the White City Alliance was very powerful, and this small number of people was not enough.
Moreover, if they didn't show up, how would the White City Alliance know that Long City had reinforcements?
Therefore, he wanted to show their faces in front of the White City Alliance. That way, they would see that Long City had so many reinforcements, and they might not dare to attack Long City anymore.
"That won't do. If we station our people outside the city, won't our strength be exposed?
Not only will it not be a deterrent, but it will also let them know our strength! "City Lord Hong shook his head and retorted.
"But if we don't show up, they will think that we don't have many people in Long City, and there's a high chance that they will attack us!
Once the White City Alliance attacks us, we will all be in danger, and we may not be able to resist them! "City Lord Long said worriedly.
"If we want to deter them, we don't have to bring our people outside. It's not safe. What if they launch a sneak attack at night? Then our losses will be even greater.
Therefore, if we want to deter them, it's best to hang our flags on the city walls.
That way, they will know that all our reinforcements have arrived, "City Lord Hong said.
"Will that work? Flags can be forged, and we can hang them even if there are no reinforcements! "City Lord Long wasn't satisfied with this method.
"It doesn't matter. This is what deterrence is all about. Although we can hang the flags even if there are no reinforcements, the White City Alliance can't be sure whether Long City has reinforcements or not.
The more they don't know about the real situation, the more they won't dare to act rashly.
Moreover, we must not only hang the flags of our cities, but also the flags of the cities from Han City that haven't arrived yet.
In addition, from tomorrow onwards, we must send our soldiers out of the city for a spin! That way, they won't think that Long City doesn't have reinforcements.
However, they don't know how many reinforcements Long City has! "City Lord Hong said.
"City Lord Hong's idea is great. They are most afraid of the fake and the real!" The City Lord of Huai City was the first to support the idea.
As reinforcements, they naturally didn't want to start a war with the White City Alliance here.
Once a war broke out, it would inevitably cause great losses to their cities.
If this little trick was enough to deter them from sending troops to Long City, then this was definitely the best method.
"Then it's decided. From tomorrow onwards, each city will send some soldiers to patrol outside the city. Let the White City Alliance have a good look!" City Lord Long thought for a moment and felt that this was a good idea.
It was indeed a good thing that they could deter the White City Alliance without sacrificing a single soldier.
Thus, on the next day, the north gate of Long City, which was the direction of Xian Yue City, was hung with the flags of various cities.
Regardless of whether they were cities that had come to reinforce Long City or not, as long as they were cities that belonged to the half-alliance, they were all hung up.
