Since the Outer King and the elders had already made up their minds to annex the Painting Outer Dynasty, City Lord Han naturally did not dare to persuade them anymore.
Therefore, there was only one problem he was thinking about now, and that was to maximize the benefits of the White Sun Outer Dynasty.
They were not sure when the messenger from the Painting Outer Dynasty would send a message to the Painting Outer Dynasty, but based on the time and distance, the reinforcements from the Painting Outer Dynasty would not arrive at Border City in such a short period of time.
Because it had only been 20 days since they took over the four cities of the Painting Outer Dynasty.
Even if the people from the Painting Outer Dynasty started to head towards the Painting Outer Dynasty on the first day after they took over the first city, even if the Painting Outer Dynasty used their fastest speed to reinforce Border City, it would still take at least 10 days for them to arrive.
Therefore, in 10 days, if the people from the White Sun Outer Dynasty were to split into four groups, they would at least be able to take down four more cities.
Four cities was not a small number. If they could occupy them first, it would naturally be beneficial.
Moreover, these four cities also had a lot of resources. Even if they were unable to defend these four cities in the end, it would be good to plunder the resources of these four cities first.
No need, we don't need to do anything now, we just need to wait! However, the Great Elder shook his head and rejected City Lord Han's idea.
Great Elder wants to preserve his strength and wait for the reinforcements from the Painting Outer Dynasty to arrive before taking over the other cities? City Lord Han asked.
I'm just waiting for a good news! The Great Elder shook his head and said with a smile.
Good news? What good news? City Lord Han was even more puzzled.
I can't say! The Great Elder did not want to tell him.
Because this news was only qualified to be known by the Outer King and a few other elders. At least for now, no one else could know.
City Lord Han saw that the Great Elder was so mysterious. Although he was very puzzled, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Since the Great Elder was unwilling to say, he could only wait for the good news to appear on its own.
In the end, two days later, the Great Elder and the other three chief elders of the other three cities also received a message from Cheng Yu.
Painting Outer Dynasty has sent 30,000 Tribulation Realm cultivators to Border City!
City Lord Han, pass down the order, everyone is to return to Chi Yun City! The Great Elder immediately ordered City Lord Han.
"Return to Pond Cloud City? Why is that? "City Lord Han asked.
Pond Cloud City was the gateway between Danqing Outer Dynasty and White Sun Outer Dynasty. It was also the first city they conquered after entering Danqing Outer Dynasty.
It was just that City Lord Han didn't understand. Weren't they going to swallow up Painting Green Outer Dynasty?
Why didn't the army continue to advance and conquer other cities? Instead, they had to retreat?
Could it be that they did not intend to continue annexing the Painting Outer Dynasty?
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Go and pass the order!" The Great Elder shouted with a straight face.
When there was no news, he could tell the other party about the current plan and situation, but when there was a battle, everything had to be serious.
He had to be clear about what he should and shouldn't ask.
"Yes!" City Lord Han's heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to say anything else and quickly left to relay the order.
However, what puzzled them again was that when they returned to Pond Cloud City, they found that the other three principal elders had also returned to Pond Cloud City with their people.
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? The four principal elders actually returned to Pond Cloud City with their troops at the same time. It was as if everyone knew something at the same time.
"At the same time?" At this moment, City Lord Han seemed to have thought of something.
As the city lords of the border cities, they had a communication jade slip in their hands. This jade slip could allow them to report the situation here to the Outer Monarch immediately.
"Could it be that they also have this jade slip and received some information at the same time?" This was the most likely possibility that City Lord Han could think of.
He could even guess that this information was sent to them by the Outer Monarch.
However, that was all he could think of. As for what the four chief elders received, if the four chief elders didn't say it, they would never know.
Obviously, he was not the only one who was puzzled by this. The other city lords who worked under the Principal Elder also had the same doubts as him.
However, despite being puzzled, the only thing they could do now was to follow the order.
"Everyone, listen up. In another ten days, the reinforcements from the Painting Imperial Palace will arrive. Everyone must be on full alert. We must not let them attack our territory. Do you hear me?" The Great Elder said to the four troops.
"Yes!" Everyone replied.
Therefore, the four principal elders had been guarding Pond Cloud City with their people, waiting for the reinforcements from the Painting Imperial Palace to arrive.
"Great Elder, this time, the Painting Imperial Palace has sent 30,000 Tribulation Stage cultivators. This is going to be a good show!" Second Elder Zhuang Min said with a smile.
From his eyes, everyone could even see that he was very excited and looking forward to the show.
"Of course, the Outer Monarch of Painting Imperial Palace is a very cautious person. He knows that we have a lot of people this time, so he naturally wouldn't just casually send people over." The Great Elder also smiled.
"It seems that our trick is very effective. If the Painting Imperial Palace knew that we killed their 30,000 Tribulation Stage cultivators, I wonder what expression they would have? Haha! "The Fifth Elder Wu Li said with a smile.
"I'm afraid they won't have the chance. Now that the young master has arrived at the Painting Imperial Palace, I believe that in a few days, he will be able to smoothly enter the Painting Imperial Palace.
Perhaps before the 30,000 people arrive, the young master will first conquer the Painting Imperial Palace The Third Elder Gao Ruyuan said with a smile.
"That's right. With the young master's strength, taking down the Painting Imperial Palace is a piece of cake, just like how we fell into the enemy's hands." Wu Li smiled.
"With the young master's help, taking down the Painting Imperial Palace is naturally not a difficult matter. However, we shouldn't underestimate the 30,000 Tribulation Stage cultivators from the Painting Imperial Palace.
We don't have the young master's ability. Once we start a war with these 30,000 people, it is inevitable that we will suffer casualties The Great Elder reminded.
"Don't worry. This time, in order to deal with the Painting Imperial Palace, we have mobilized our entire army. 180,000 Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators can easily kill them! "The Third Elder, Gao Ruyuan, said indifferently.
Although this time, Cheng Yu had secretly helped them take down the Painting Imperial Palace, they didn't know how many Tribulation Stage experts the Painting Imperial Palace would send to the border city.
Therefore, just in case, they directly brought all the Tribulation Stage experts from the White Sun Imperial Palace.
However, when they started the war with these border cities, they only sent a few thousand Tribulation Stage experts. Their purpose was to make the Painting Imperial Palace send fewer experts.
