"That's impossible. We are now under the protection of the Cheng Family. No matter how bold the White City Alliance is, they wouldn't dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Wouldn't they be courting death?" The Meng City Lord shook his head.
Although he was also very curious, he believed that Governor Bai wasn't that stupid. He would be courting death if he dared to attack their cities in front of the Cheng Family.
Moreover, Governor Bai wasn't a simple person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have established the White City Alliance.
Therefore, he must have come here to discuss something important with the Cheng Family.
"Everyone, it seems like you're living a comfortable life under the protection of the Cheng Family!" Duke Yun laughed when he heard their conversation.
These words seemed to be said with a bit of jealousy, and also a bit sour.
Obviously, they had also been threatened by the White City Alliance. However, they had not expected that they would be living differently now.
Moreover, their lives in Meng City were much better than those of other cities.
Although the army of the White City Alliance hadn't reached them and hadn't caused any losses, the influence that the Cheng Family had on their cities was still ongoing.
In addition, the Cheng Family had continuously issued various tasks to build cities over the past year. As a result, many of their cities had been losing people, and many people had come to the Cheng Family to accept tasks.
Seeing such a thing, they were both anxious and angry.
As for Meng City, which had surrendered to the "enemy", it was getting better and better. How could they not be jealous?
"It's not exactly living comfortably, but it's barely surviving!" The Meng City Lord said with a smile.
Of course, they understood what Governor Yun meant. However, it wasn't that they hadn't tried to persuade them in the past.
It was just that they hadn't been willing to surrender to the Cheng Family. Now that their cities were recovering and becoming more prosperous, they were naturally happy.
Even without the threat of the White City Alliance, their cities had been gradually declining. They hadn't known how to revive their cities, but now, because of the White City Alliance's attack, their cities had benefited a lot. This was really a blessing in disguise.
"Governor Yun, we told you long ago to surrender to the Cheng Family, but you were unwilling to do so. If you had accepted our proposal, perhaps you would be in the same situation as us now! "The Xian Yue City Lord said with a smile.
Because of the Cheng Family, although they didn't officially form an alliance, they were basically on the same side.
But now, they had been divided into two camps by the Cheng Family. Even their standpoints were different.
"You guys are quite open-minded. Although the Dynasty Alliance didn't cause any trouble for you guys in the past year, they might not sit by and do nothing. So, I still have to advise you guys to be careful.
Although the Cheng Family is strong, they may not be able to protect all of you.
You should know that not all of these cities are as lucky as Meng City.
If anything happens, even if the Cheng Family wants to help you, it won't be that fast! "City Lord Han said with a smile.
This was what they were worried about. Although City Lord Meng had told them that the dynasty would not intervene in this matter, who could say for sure what would happen to the dynasty?
The location of Meng City was special. It had an entrance barrier, so it was the closest city to the Cheng family.
Even if something happened, they could send a message to the Cheng Family in the shortest time possible, and it wouldn't take too long for the Cheng Family to support them.
However, the other cities were different, especially the cities on Han City's side. They were farther away from Yungui New City, even farther than Guang City and Huang City.
Because of this, when the Xian Yue City was breached, Han City and the others chose to go to Yuncheng to support it, while the other cities chose to support Long City.
So, under such circumstances, they felt like there was a big stone pressing on their hearts to accept the proposal of joining the Cheng Family.
Unless the Dynasty Alliance stood up and told them, they would never intervene in their affairs.
But was this possible? Obviously, it was impossible.
So, they were very conflicted. Seeing that Meng City was getting better and better, they certainly wanted to join the Cheng Family.
However, they were still afraid. They were afraid that the Dynasty Alliance would suddenly attack them. But because they were so far away from the Cheng Family, even if the Cheng Family wanted to help them, they were afraid that it would be too late.
After all, the Dynasty Alliance was still very scary in their hearts. If the Dynasty Alliance wanted to attack their cities, it wouldn't take too long.
So, they couldn't ask for help from a distant source.
They were afraid that by the time the Cheng Family's reinforcements arrived, their cities would have been long gone. Then, what was the use of the Cheng Family's protection?
"Sometimes, life is like a bet. If you bet correctly, you may earn wealth that you can't get in a lifetime.
If you bet wrongly, you may lose everything. But from the looks of it now, I think we made the right bet.
Moreover, we also believe that we will get along well with the Cheng Family. Even if the Dynasty Alliance really comes looking for trouble one day, the Cheng Family has enough strength to help us deal with everything. This is called trust! "The Xian Yue City Lord said with a smile.
In fact, he was also worried about this kind of thing in the beginning. Especially after the experts at the Crossing Tribulation Stage who had been stationed in their city left, he was even more worried.
But slowly, he found that everything was not as bad as he had imagined.
At least now, the Cheng Family had made such a big move, but the Dynasty Alliance still hadn't appeared.
So, he felt that the Dynasty Alliance might not appear.
Moreover, during this year, he had been learning about the Dynasty Alliance.
He also knew that the Holy Dynasty Alliance had caused a lot of trouble for the Cheng Family.
Therefore, the Dynasty Alliance didn't have the time and energy to deal with them now. Compared to the Cheng Family, the Holy Dynasty Alliance was now the real problem.
Moreover, even if the Dynasty Alliance came, the Cheng Family might not be afraid of the Dynasty Alliance.
Moreover, the Cheng Family had always been very confident that the Dynasty Alliance would not intervene in this matter. Even if the Dynasty Alliance Alliance did intervene, the Cheng Family was confident that they could handle this matter.
As long as he could survive, he believed that even if the Dynasty Alliance Alliance attacked and took away their cities, the Cheng Family would definitely help them get it back.
"You are really confident. You trust the Cheng Family so much. Aren't you worried that the Cheng Family is just using you?" said the Yun City Lord.
