"Governor! The army of the White City Alliance hasn't returned to Long City! "Hong Qing kept hearing the news.
However, everything seemed to be going smoothly. The White City Alliance didn't seem to have any plans to attack Long City, which made everyone feel relieved.
As long as the White City Alliance only sent out a million soldiers, it would be a tough battle when they reached Cloud City. They might not necessarily lose.
At least, they still had hope!
"Where are they now?" Hong Governor asked.
"They're almost at Everlasting Valley!" the scout replied.
"Everlasting Valley is only a day's journey away from Cloud City. It seems like we have to hurry up. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble!" Hong Governor hurriedly ordered the army to speed up.
They were now at least eight hours away from Everlasting Valley, which was definitely a long time.
If they didn't speed up, the war might be over by then.
However, after rushing for four hours, they didn't receive any news from the scouts, which made them worried.
"Hong Governor, why haven't we received any news from the scouts yet?" the Governor of Huai City asked doubtfully.
"I don't know either!" Hong Governor shook his head.
"Hong Governor, could our scouts have been discovered by the White City Alliance?" the Governor of Cangshui City asked doubtfully.
"It's not impossible. The White City Alliance has so many soldiers, they must have sent out a lot of scouts. It's normal for them to be in trouble!" Hong Governor said.
Scouts were actually very dangerous. They could be discovered by the enemy at any time, especially when there were experts among the enemy.
Furthermore, even if the enemy didn't have any experts, they could still be in trouble if they encountered a scout.
Therefore, it was very common for scouts to die. Hong Governor didn't think it was strange.
"Hong City Lord, should we send out more spies? It's dangerous for us to advance recklessly without understanding the situation ahead! "the Governor of Huai City said.
"Yeah, there are a million soldiers of the White City Alliance in front of us. If we don't understand their situation, we won't even know when we encounter them!" the Governor of Cangshui City said.
Although they were likely to wage war against the White City Alliance, they couldn't afford to meet the White City Alliance on the way. That would be too dangerous.
They had to let the White City Alliance Army reach Cloud City first, and then they could start the war with them.
It was not only because Cloud City had hundreds of thousands of soldiers allied with them, but also because they could use the advantage of a pincer attack to suddenly defeat the White City Alliance Army.
"Yes, that's for sure. Also, we need to send some spies to investigate what's going on with those spies!" Hong City Lord nodded and said.
Soon, they once again sent out some scouts to scout ahead.
However, what everyone did not expect was that not long after, a few people suddenly rushed back from behind them!
"Urgent report!" The spies shouted from afar.
"Did something happen in Long City?" When the scouts arrived before City Lord Hong's group and saw that they were wearing Long City's uniform, City Lord Hong couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
"City Lords, something bad has happened. The army of the White City Alliance is heading towards our Long City. Please return to Long City and provide reinforcements!" The messenger said while panting.
"What? The White City Alliance still has people attacking Long City? "The crowd was shocked.
"How many people do they have?" Hong City Lord asked.
"About 500,000 people!" The messenger replied.
"How is that possible? How can they still have 500,000 people? "The messenger's words shocked all the city lords again.
Didn't they already send out a million soldiers? Why would they still have 500,000 people attacking Long City?
"We don't know either, but they have indeed sent so many people. Now that Long City is in a state of emergency, the City Lord asked us to request reinforcements from the other cities. Otherwise, Long City will fall!" The messenger said impatiently.
The journey that should have taken a day only took him a few hours. This was enough to prove how urgent the situation was.
If these people didn't go back to provide reinforcements, then Long City would really be hopeless!
"Hong City Lord, what should we do now? I'm afraid the White City Alliance has really sent out all their forces to take us down! "The City Lord of Huai City was also panicking.
He didn't think that City Lord Long would be right. The White City Alliance really did send troops to attack Long City while they were on their way to Cloud City.
"Everyone, return to Long City at once!" Hong City Lord didn't dare to delay any further. He ordered urgently with a solemn expression.
This was not a joke. He didn't know what was going on with the White City Alliance and why they had so many soldiers.
However, it was obvious that he didn't have the time to think too much. He also didn't have the time to investigate why the White City Alliance would send 500,000 soldiers to attack Long City.
He only knew that Long City definitely needed their reinforcements more than Cloud City.
Although Cloud City was also very dangerous facing the threat of the White City Alliance's 1,000,000 soldiers, at least City Lord Han and the others were there with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Although the chances were slim, at least Cloud City could still be defended. Even if they couldn't defend it, it would be good if they could hold on for a few days.
At that time, the soldiers of other cities would also arrive. If they were fast enough, they could even continue to support Cloud City after defeating the 500,000 soldiers of the White City Alliance.
However, Long City only had about 110,000 soldiers, including the remaining soldiers of the Xian Yue City City Lord.
It was clearly impossible for such a small number of people to stop the 500,000 soldiers of the White City Alliance.
Therefore, they had to return to Long City no matter what and protect it first.
At this moment, the City Lord of Huai City and the other City Lords didn't say anything else. Clearly, they also understood how dangerous the situation was.
Long City couldn't be lost. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to go to Cloud City!
"City Lord! Bad news! The White City Alliance's army is coming! "
However, what was more despairing was that just as everyone was about to turn around and return to Long City, some of the newly sent scouts suddenly ran back in a panic.
However, the words that came out of their mouths caused everyone to panic.
