In order to make their plan seem more realistic, they even prepared the uniforms of the cities that didn't come to Long City to support them and let the soldiers who came to Long City change into them.
This way, if the White City Alliance really sent spies to inquire about the situation, they would definitely report back to the White City Alliance.
When the White City Alliance saw that Long City had so many reinforcements, they wouldn't dare to do anything to Long City.
Perhaps they would directly head for Cloud City. Although Cloud City might be in danger, the White City Alliance could use this opportunity to launch a pincer attack on the White City Alliance's army.
Therefore, although Cloud City was used as bait, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
If they could repel or even defeat the White City Alliance, it would be worth it even if they had to make some sacrifices.
At the very least, Long City would be safe.
In the end, perhaps because of the City Lord Hong's method, two days later, the spies in Long City suddenly brought back news that the White City Alliance's army had left the city, but they were heading in the direction of Cloud City.
"City Lord Hong, your method really worked! After being intimidated by us, they really don't dare to come to Long City anymore! "The City Lord of Long City was overjoyed when he heard the news.
In the past two days, they had been wondering if the City Lord Hong's method would work.
They didn't expect it to work so quickly. However, this time, Cloud City might be in big trouble.
"Although our method worked, they are now sending their army to Cloud City. If Cloud City is breached, we won't be able to stop the White City Alliance either! " City Lord Hong saw that his plan had worked. Although he was pleased with himself, he still had a worried look on his face.
In fact, Cloud City and Long City were one. Although Long City was temporarily safe, it was only for a while.
If Cloud City fell, the other cities within the gateway would definitely be attacked. When that time came, Long City would still be occupied.
"Governor Hong, since Long City is safe now, shouldn't we hurry to Cloud City? If Cloud City falls, our outcome will be the same! "The City Lord of Huai City said worriedly.
"Yes! Cloud City and Long City are both our gateways. Now that the people of White City have gone to Cloud City, it's very bad for Cloud City. If we can't defend Cloud City, we won't be able to defend against the White City Alliance's attack! "The other city lords also voiced their agreement.
It had to be said that these people had a sense of crisis and were able to unite in the face of danger.
However, City Governor Long clearly didn't share the same opinion. When he heard that these people were going to Cloud City, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Everyone, I don't think it's appropriate to go to Cloud City now. Cloud City had City Lord Han and the others' reinforcements. They also had quite a few people, so Cloud City wouldn't fall so easily.
Moreover, how would we know if the White City Alliance was trying to lure us away? If we send troops to Cloud City and they attack Long City, won't we be in even more danger? "City Lord Long said.
"City Lord Long, I think you're being too disloyal. Regardless of whether it's Cloud City or your Long City, we came to help with sincerity.
Now that your Long City is out of danger, you still want us to stay here and ignore Cloud City's crisis? Isn't that a little too unkind? "The City Lord of Huai City was quite displeased with City Lord Long's actions.
"That's right, City Lord Long, you can't just care about yourself. We're facing a common danger right now, so we can only repel the enemy if we unite.
If everyone was like you and only cared about themselves, then we wouldn't need to come to Long City. We could just defend our own cities.
However, we gave up on defending our own cities and rushed to Long City for the sake of all of us.
Cloud City is in danger now, so if we attack together and annihilate the White City Alliance's army, then we'll all be at peace.
If we don't do anything when Cloud City is in danger, then do you think your Long City will still be safe when Cloud City falls?
City Lord Long, you can't be too selfish! "The other city lords also expressed their dissatisfaction with City Lord Long.
After all, this was a time of life and death for their half-alliance. Did they like to come all the way here to provide support?
They had no other choice. If they didn't resist the White City Alliance's army together, then they would definitely be defeated one by one.
Therefore, after they received the reinforcement signal from Governor Hong, they gathered together and rushed to Long City without stopping.
It wasn't just to protect Long City, but also to protect themselves.
If they were still so selfish at a time like this, then they would really be disgusted.
Clearly, City Lord Long had become the target of everyone's disgust.
"Everyone, you've really misunderstood me. I'm not being selfish, but I'm thinking about the bigger picture.
One had to know that the White City Alliance wasn't easy to deal with. It was true that their troops were heading to Cloud City.
It's true that their troops are heading to Cloud City, but this doesn't mean that Long City is safe. What if the White City Alliance attacks us after we send troops to Cloud City?
This isn't impossible. On the contrary, I think it's very likely.
Just now, everyone said that Cloud City and Long City have the same status. They're both our gateways, so we don't want to see either city fall.
However, Cloud City at least has the support of City Lord Han and the other cities. Even if the White City Alliance wants to attack Cloud City, it won't be easy.
But if we also head to Cloud City, then our Long City will become an empty city. Won't the White City Alliance be able to easily take Long City? "City Lord Long said earnestly.
"City Lord Long's words might make sense, but that's basically impossible. After all, the White City Alliance's troops have already headed to Cloud City. How could they come to Long City? "The City Lord of Huai City retorted.
In fact, he didn't like City Lord Long from the start. It was just that he had to come for the sake of the bigger picture.
Now that Long City was safe, he naturally didn't want to stay here any longer.
At the very least, his relationship with City Lord Yun was much better than that of City Lord Long. However, he had no choice. Huai City was much closer to Long City and too far from Cloud City.
Therefore, he could only come to Long City with City Lord Hong.
"City Lord Hong, what do you think we should do now?" The other city lords thought about it and felt that City Lord Long's words weren't completely unreasonable.
