"That's … that's it?" Everyone looked at Hayashikawa in disbelief. "But you haven't told us what you're going to do."
"You don't need to know what I'm going to do!" Hayashikawa said straightforwardly. His Tenseigan swept across the crowd, his tone unquestionable. "You've all just joined Konoha. To be honest, you don't trust each other much. I understand your concerns, but please understand my difficulties. If you don't want to participate in this, you can say so now. I'll take back the pills and let you leave. From then on, you'll have nothing to do with Konoha.
"And if you're willing to stay and fight for Konoha, then I can guarantee that when the battle is over, you'll become a true core member of Konoha, and I'll provide you with unimaginable benefits," Hayashikawa said loudly.
"But how can we trust you?" Su Ming asked.
"This is a huge gamble. It depends on whether you're willing to take it or not," Hayashikawa said softly.
His meaning was clear. He wouldn't prove anything to the crowd. Everyone who participated in this battle had to join his gamble. As the banker, Hayashikawa would win!
"Sorry, I'm leaving."
After a moment of silence, several cultivators stood up and chose to leave.
No matter how they looked at it, Lin Chuan's words were meaningless. They really didn't want to participate in such a battle without any guarantee.
But to Hayashikawa's surprise, only a few left. Most chose to stay. Even Han Guang, whose attitude wasn't very good before, didn't leave. This attracted a lot of attention.
Feeling everyone's gazes, Han Guang snorted and crossed his arms. "Don't look at me. I still don't think Konoha will win. I just want to see where Konoha gets the courage to fight Nine Heavens City to the death. It's stupid, but I admire this courage.
Let's stay and watch. "Everyone shook their heads helplessly. Han Guang was young and aggressive. Even if Konoha survived with everyone's efforts, Han Guang wouldn't have it easy.
Hayashikawa didn't say much about this. After receiving the pills from the cultivators who were about to leave, he stood up.
"I'll leave the deployment of this battle to you. As for the specific defensive measures and tactical arrangements, I won't participate! You can see this as a chance to prove yourselves to me. Believe me, you will reap a great harvest. "
After saying that, Hayashikawa's figure disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other. Only bitter smiles and helplessness remained on their faces.
"Alright, everyone, don't be too pessimistic. Hayashikawa will take note of your actions this time. When the time comes, he will reward you according to your merits. He will definitely not treat you unfairly." Qin Lang leaned back in his chair and said with a calm expression.
"Suzaku envoy, you have a close relationship with Hokage-sama. Can you tell us what the Hokage-sama is planning?" Yang Yongxin asked tentatively.
Although Hayashikawa painted a pie in the sky, he didn't reveal any specific information.
So far, everyone only knew that Hayashikawa's spatial ability was powerful. Other than that, Hayashikawa didn't show any other abilities that could influence the battlefield.
The only thing that gave them some hope was some rumors from Jin City. However, it was said that Jin City's Lord Lin Mo blocked the news. Some of the rumors were true or false.
"I can't say that, or I'll lose my head." Qin Lang chuckled.
"By the way, I have something to inform everyone. Konoha will publicly declare war on Jiuxiao City at noon tomorrow!" Bu Lian Shi suddenly said.
"What?" Everyone was shocked and looked at Bu Lian Shi in disbelief.
A declaration of war meant that they would fight to the death. It had always been a strong city declaring war on a weak one. If Konoha declared war on Jiuxiao City, wouldn't that be pushing themselves to death?
"Konoha is about to be destroyed. There's nothing wrong with declaring war. It'll let the other big cities see our bravery. Why not?" Han Guang said.
In his opinion, a declaration of war didn't mean much. It was like a human wanting to crush an ant. Would you declare war on an ant? Of course not! Jiuxiao City wanted to destroy Konoha. That was probably why they wanted to do so. Since they were already fighting to the death, Konoha might as well declare war.
"If we really declare war, I'm afraid the intensity of the battle will intensify. It will also attract the attention of Jiuxiao City. Maybe they won't even give us a chance." Someone said helplessly.
Some of the cultivators who wanted to be slackers were a little worried. Hayashikawa obviously didn't want to give them a way out.
"If I had known earlier, I would have backed out!" Many people thought to themselves.
"Okay, you guys discuss the tactical arrangements. We'll go first. We still have to prepare for the declaration of war." Qin Lang said and left with Bu Lian Shi.
Jiuxiao City.
The mobilization for war had begun. The city clearly felt more tense than before. Cultivators walked on the streets in a hurry.
"Jiuxiao City really values Konoha. A small city that was built less than seven days ago has provoked Jiuxiao City to make such a big fuss. I really don't understand."
"I heard that five of the nine city lords of Jiuxiao City are going to participate in this war. This is the first time since Jiuxiao City was built!"
"Yeah. If they weren't afraid of other cities taking advantage of the situation, the nine city lords of Jiuxiao City would have all joined the war."
"What did Konoha do? I think it's not as simple as poaching people. Otherwise, things wouldn't be this big."
"Who knows? In any case, I've heard that several other cities are also very interested in this matter. When the time comes, Absolute Beginning City and Divine Dream City will also send people to watch the entire battle."
…
All kinds of discussions were going on in Jiuxiao City. However, most people just treated this as a topic of conversation. They didn't think it was that serious. After all, Jiuxiao City and Konoha were very different. If Jiuxiao City couldn't win, it could only mean that Jiuxiao City was too weak.
At the same time, under Jiuxiao City.
The nine city lords gathered in the spirit pool. Their faces were a bit ugly.
The Spiritual Qi from the spirit veins was flowing like a river. But now, the Spiritual Qi here had turned into a stream. The decrease in Spiritual Qi was visible to the naked eye. It wouldn't be long before the spirit veins in Jiuxiao City were completely exhausted.
By this time, Jiuxiao City had already traced the spirit veins and confirmed that the spirit veins were exhausted because of Konoha. Therefore, they had to succeed this time.
