In the end, City Lord Hong led the people from the other cities and left Long City.
"City Lord, they've all left. We only have around a hundred thousand people in the city. If the White City Alliance really attacks us, how are we going to stop them?" a general beside City Lord Long said as he watched City Lord Hong and the others leave.
"Hmph, if they want to leave, then let them go! Perhaps the White City Alliance won't launch a sneak attack on us! "City Lord Long's expression was not very pleasant.
Clearly, he was very unhappy that these people had left just like that.
"But what if they really launch a sneak attack on us? We only have 100,000 people, so I'm afraid that won't be enough! "The general continued to worry.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. From now on, send some people to scout the situation every two to four hours. If they discover that the White City Alliance has sent an army, report to me immediately!" City Lord Long didn't want to continue this topic, so he ordered with a solemn expression.
"Yes! I understand. I'll go make the arrangements now! "The general hurried down the city wall after receiving the order.
City Lord Long looked at the departing figures of City Lord Hong and the others with a grim expression.
Hmph! Since you don't care about the safety of my Long City, don't blame me for not being able to guard this gate when the time comes! City Lord Long thought coldly.
It would be fine if the White City Alliance really didn't send troops to launch a sneak attack this time.
If not only did they come, but they also brought a lot of people with them, then they definitely wouldn't be able to resist.
At this time, anything could happen. ...
However, he wouldn't say this out loud because the City Lord of Xian Yue City was also beside him, so some things couldn't be said casually.
Although City Lord Hong and the others had left with their troops, they had been sending spies to scout the situation of the White City Alliance's 1,000,000 troops.
They knew that the White City Alliance's military strength was also limited. This time, they had mobilized a 1,000,000 troops, which might prove that the White City Alliance was determined to annex them.
However, this also told them that the White City Alliance probably didn't have any more troops to go to Long City.
This was because the border cities of the White City Alliance also needed a lot of troops. If the border cities were empty, it would be quite dangerous.
Moreover, if the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers were divided among the border cities, they wouldn't have many soldiers left. They wouldn't be able to mobilize more soldiers to deal with Long City.
Of course, if the White City Alliance still intended to attack Long City, they would have to withdraw a portion of the 1 million soldiers.
Therefore, he had to constantly send people to inquire about the situation of the White City Alliance's army.
As long as they didn't divert their forces back to Long City, Long City would be safe.
Otherwise, it would be a very troublesome matter. If they took care of Cloud City, they wouldn't be able to take care of Long City. If they took care of Long City, they wouldn't be able to take care of Cloud City.
"Hong City Lord, I didn't expect the White City Alliance to send out an army of a million this time. Do you think we'll be able to defeat the White City Alliance even if we regroup with the people from Cloud City?" the Lord of Huai City asked worriedly.
Ever since he learned that the White City Alliance had sent out a million soldiers, he felt that the current situation was much more serious than he had imagined.
"I'm not sure either. However, this time, we must defend Cloud City no matter what. Otherwise, we won't be able to resist the White City Alliance! "Hong City Lord said.
They had mobilized almost half of the forces of their respective cities to support Long City and Cloud City.
If all of their forces were lost here, it would mean that all of their cities would only have half of their forces left.
However, this half of their forces couldn't be gathered together like now, because they also had to protect their cities.
If the White City Alliance occupied Cloud City and attacked their cities one by one, they would definitely be destroyed!
"Sigh … Perhaps we really should have established an alliance. If each of our cities had sent a part of their forces to be stationed in the Xian Yue City, it wouldn't have been lost so easily," the Lord of Huai City said regretfully.
"Although you think so, the Xian City Lord might not think so!" Hong City Lord said.
In fact, this wasn't the first time he had proposed establishing an alliance.
However, he wasn't willing to station so many troops in the Xian Yue City as their gateway.
Although these troops might be used to protect the Xian Yue City, if there were no foreign enemies invading, these stationed troops might not be a good thing for the Xian Yue City.
It was precisely because of this that the Xian Yue City Lord refused to establish an alliance and refused the cities to send troops to be stationed in the Xian Yue City.
After all, no one would want their city to be controlled by others at any time.
The Xian Yue City had a total of 100,000 troops. Even if each city only sent 10,000 troops, the Xian Yue City's troops wouldn't be as good as the troops stationed there.
Furthermore, would they only send 10,000 people to resist the invasion of the White City Alliance?
With just 300,000 people, they definitely wouldn't be able to stop them. Therefore, the various cities had to send more people.
With so many troops stationed in the Xian Yue City, was the White City Alliance more dangerous, or the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there more dangerous?
At the very least, the Xian Yue City Lord felt that these people were very dangerous.
Therefore, the establishment of an alliance had always been in a state of stagnation, which led to the semi-alliance.
It was absolutely impossible to station troops in the Xian Yue City, but when the Xian Yue City was attacked, the other cities had to unite and help the Xian Yue City repel the enemy.
However, they clearly underestimated the strength of the White City Alliance.
This time, the White City Alliance clearly came prepared. Therefore, before their allied forces arrived, the Xian Yue City had already fallen.
But now, they had no choice but to split their troops into two to protect the two second lines of defense, Cloud City and Long City.
If either of these two lines of defense were to fall, then their half-alliance would be in danger.
Actually, if the Xian Yue City Lord agreed to establish an alliance, then they would actually need to defend a line of defense. That was definitely the safest.
Unfortunately, this was no longer possible.
"Sigh! If I were the Xian Yue City Lord, I definitely wouldn't refuse such a thing. What about now? Wasn't their Xian Yue City still occupied by the White City Alliance?! "said the Huai City Lord.
"Unfortunately, the Xian Yue City Lord obviously wouldn't have the same thoughts as you. Otherwise, things wouldn't have become like this! "said the Hong City Lord helplessly.
Losing the Xian Yue City was definitely the worst thing that could happen!
