"City Lords, I have already made myself very clear. The conditions that I mentioned were personally made by our family leader, and no matter how good your reasons are, it is useless to me.
I can only do two things. If you agree to submit to the Cheng family, I will stay and solve the White City Alliance's problems.
If you do not agree, we will leave Hong City right now! This is your last chance, and I do not have that much time to waste with you.
I believe that the White City Alliance and the Hong City Alliance do not have that much time to waste either. " Zhou Heng saw that Deputy City Lord Meng was not only unwilling to accept the family head's conditions, but also said a lot of other things. He immediately lost his patience.
Even if Vice City Lord Meng had a good idea, he did not have the authority or the guts to make a decision on his own.
As such, if they were unwilling to accept the family leader's conditions, there was no need for him to continue negotiating with them.
"This …" Hearing City Lord Zhou's words, the City Lords looked even more bitter and hesitant. They simply could not make this decision.
"Since you cannot make this decision, I will give you another piece of information!" City Lord Zhou said.
"What is it?" Everyone looked at City Lord Zhou curiously.
"Even if you do not agree to accept the Cheng family leader's conditions, the Cheng family will still take Hong City.
It's just that the method of obtaining it is different. We are discussing with you now, and if you agree, everything will go according to what we discussed before.
If you do not agree, we will wait for the White City Alliance to attack you. After that, we will take your cities from the White City Alliance.
You should understand that the Cheng family definitely has the strength to do this.
However, at that time, these cities will have nothing to do with you.
Of course, perhaps by then, you will have already become the souls of the White City Alliance's army! "City Lord Zhou said calmly.
"This …" Hearing this, the City Lords' expressions changed greatly.
Evidently, City Lord Zhou's words were extremely important information to them.
If the Cheng Family was really determined to get their cities, then they really didn't have any way to stop them.
If they agreed now, they would still be City Lords of their cities.
However, if they did not agree, the cities would still fall into the Cheng family's hands in the end.
With such a comparison, everyone would know how to choose.
Apart from this, they did not have any other choice.
However, that would be equivalent to betraying the dynasty, and the dynasty would not let them off easily.
"City Lord Zhou, if we really agree, will the dynasty not make things difficult for us?
What if the dynasty makes things difficult for us? "City Lord Guang said fearfully.
He did not want to lose Guang City, and compared to City Lord Zhou's two conditions, he would definitely choose to submit to the Cheng family.
However, if the Cheng Family could really guarantee their safety, then he would have no more hesitation.
"I believe in our Patriarch. Since he said so, I also believe that the dynasty will not interfere in this matter!
However, you can choose not to trust me. The choice is in your hands.
I've said everything that needs to be said. Now, it's time for you to make your own choice. But you have to hurry up, because I'm about to finish my tea! "City Lord Zhou said.
"City Lord Zhou, they don't agree. If I agree, can your Cheng Family guarantee the safety of Guang City?" City Lord Guang said impatiently.
He didn't want to die, nor did he want to miss this opportunity.
After all, the Cheng Clan's attitude was very clear. Regardless of whether they agreed or not, these cities would eventually fall into the hands of the Cheng Clan.
No matter how strong the White City Alliance was, it was only a match for a weak city like theirs.
Even if they conquered the cities, they would not be able to protect them if the Cheng family wanted to take them.
At the very least, if he accepted the Cheng family's conditions, he would still be able to live happily as a City Lord.
At the very least, if he accepted the Cheng family's conditions, he would still be able to live happily as a City Lord. Why not?
Hearing City Lord Guang's words, the other City Lords looked at City Lord Zhou curiously. They did not know if he would agree, because what City Lord Guang said was also what they were thinking.
Hong City did not agree, but it did not mean that they would not agree.
Anyway, they would not be able to keep the cities in their hands. Although they had submitted to the Cheng family, they were still City Lords.
Moreover, City Lord Zhou also said that they did not need to pay tribute twice. They would just hand over the tribute to the Dynasty, and the rest of the resources would be theirs.
In addition, the Cheng family had repeatedly promised that they would not be punished by the Dynasty, so they had no reason to reject such conditions.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to submit to the Cheng family, I can guarantee the safety of your cities from the White City Alliance!" City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
In his opinion, Hong City was the most important. After all, the entrance was in Hong City, and Hong City was the most important city.
However, it didn't matter if Hongcheng didn't agree to it. They could just take it from the White City Alliance.
An army of one million was indeed a powerful force for Hong City and the other cities.
However, it was nothing to the Cheng family.
With just a dozen of them charging into the White City Alliance's million-strong army, it wouldn't take long for the White City Alliance to retreat!
"City Lord Zhou, as long as you can guarantee the safety of our cities and let us continue to manage them, we are also willing to submit to the Cheng family!" The other cities quickly said.
They were afraid that the Cheng family would get up and leave if they did not say anything.
"That would be great!" City Lord Zhou's smile became even wider.
The current situation was not too bad. Only Xian Yue City and Long City had been captured by the White City Alliance. Even if Hong City was captured by the White City Alliance, it would only be a matter of three cities, and it would be easily resolved.
"City Lord Zhou, if we also agree, can you help us take back Long City and Xian Yue City from the White City Alliance?" Seeing that the other cities had spoken, City Lord Long couldn't wait any longer.
The Xian Yue City Lord also looked at City Lord Zhou expectantly.
