"Eh? General, those people from the Cheng family have not caught up with us! " After the White City Alliance's army had been moving at high speed for a few hours, they could no longer see the Cheng family's troops and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"It seems that the Cheng family might not have come for us. They are probably here to take over Long City and Xian Yue City!" The general also heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced a little.
If the Cheng family had really come for them, it would really be a disaster.
"General, are we really going to hand over Long City and Xian Yue City to them?" a deputy general stood up and said reluctantly.
"Do you have a better idea? The situation is very different now. The Cheng family clearly wants to expand their power in the Cultivation World.
This time, we launched a war and captured Xian Yue City and Long City, and the Cheng family also took this opportunity to expand into the Cultivation World. We have made a wedding dress for the Cheng family! "The general sighed.
Although the Cheng family did not explain in detail, anyone with a little bit of thinking would basically be able to figure out this problem.
The Cheng family would not come out to protect them for no reason. Moreover, they had already said that from now on, these cities would be protected by the Cheng family. This was clearly telling them that these cities would belong to the Cheng family in the future.
"General, we have the dynasty behind us, but these guys actually surrendered to the Cheng family. Aren't they afraid of angering the dynasty?" a deputy general asked doubtfully.
"That's why I said that we have made a wedding dress for the Cheng family. If we hadn't forced them so hard, perhaps they wouldn't have surrendered to the Cheng family so easily.
If it wasn't for the Cheng Family's appearance, we would have conquered Hongcheng by now.
Because our offensive was too fierce, they knew that even if they didn't surrender to the Cheng family, they would still lose everything.
Under such circumstances, even if they knew that this would anger the dynasty, they had no other choice! "The general sighed.
"If we had known that this would happen, we should have asked them to surrender first!" Thinking of this, some people felt a little regretful.
How could they have thought that these people would find the Cheng family?
In their opinion, with a million troops, it would only take them two or three days to capture these cities. As long as they could hold on for two or three days, they would be able to capture these cities.
Such a simple matter, they did not ask the other party to surrender at all.
But it was also because of their carelessness that they missed the opportunity, forcing Hong Cheng and the others into a desperate situation, and finding help from the Cheng Family.
"Actually, the most important thing is that there is an entrance behind Hongcheng. Without that entrance, would they still have the chance to find the Cheng Clan as a helper? "The general said.
"General, you said that the City Lord only wants us to take down Hong City. Is it because of this entrance?" one of the deputy generals asked.
The general shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. The city lord didn't tell me about that. He just told us to take down Hong City!"
Before they sent out the troops, the mayor had told them that their goal was to take down Hongcheng.
As for the cities outside of Hong City, the Castellan did not instruct them to attack and occupy them.
If they wanted to occupy Hong City, then they had to first occupy Xian Moon City and Long City because they were the only way to get to Hong City.
This was also the reason why Xian Yue City and Long City were lost.
However, if the Cheng Family hadn't appeared, their mission would have been completed after they took down Hong City.
Unfortunately, they were just one step away when the Cheng Family's reinforcements appeared. What a pity.
They didn't know how the City Lord would punish them when they returned to the White City Alliance!
"Judging from the current situation, as long as the Cheng Family exists, the development of our White City Alliance will be restricted.
I didn't think of it before, but after hearing what you said, I think our City Lord came for this entrance.
Think about it, if Hong City is our territory, but one day, the Cheng Family's army suddenly appeared outside Hong City, how terrifying would that be? "one of the deputy generals said.
"That's true. Sigh, but what's the point of saying this now? However, I have to remind all of you that when we return to the White City Alliance, we can't say that we missed the opportunity to conquer Hong City. Otherwise, we'll all be severely punished by the city lord, "the general reminded everyone.
"Then what should we say?" These deputy generals weren't stupid. This concerned their lives, so of course they couldn't speak carelessly.
"Let's say that Hong City has been colluding with the Cheng Family from the beginning. That's why when we attacked Hong City, the Cheng Family's experts killed their way out!
Under these circumstances, we had no choice but to retreat! "the general said.
"En, what the general said is correct. Moreover, these circumstances coincide with the facts at that time. Presumably, even if the City Lord asked someone else, the situation would basically be the same! "When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and felt that this excuse was indeed good.
After all, they really did break through Hong City, and the Cheng Family's experts suddenly appeared.
As for what exactly happened between the Cheng Family and Hong City, even they didn't know, how could others figure it out?
Therefore, in this way, there basically wouldn't be any loopholes.
"Sigh! That being said, it's really a bit of a pity for us. If we could persuade them to surrender when we first arrived at Hong City, perhaps the Cheng Family wouldn't have appeared.
If the Cheng Family didn't appear, the result would be completely different. Perhaps we would already be holding a celebratory feast in Hong City! "one of the deputy generals sighed with a regretful expression.
This time, it was indeed their own miscalculation. If only they weren't so full of themselves and thought that they were strong enough, it would be fine.
However, they didn't know that behind Hong City, there was still the colossal Cheng Family.
Moreover, they didn't expect that the Cheng Family would also be involved in this.
Truly, one miscalculation led to a series of mistakes!
If the truth of this matter was known by the City Lord of the White City Alliance, they probably wouldn't have a chance to survive. How would they dare to speak carelessly!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. If we missed it, then we missed it. At least our people didn't lose anything. Otherwise, no matter how many excuses we have, we won't be able to save our lives, "the general said.
