Thousands of miles away in Meng City, two Meng kings came out to capture Li Xuan. And in Dian City, hundreds of miles away from the Million Mountains, the same big event happened. Let the people under the jurisdiction of Dian City
There is an atmosphere of impending storm in the area, making everyone, whether they are living in Dian City or in the towns outside Dian City, look nervous, and everyone looks at them with a kind of defensive look.
A thief's warning.
Dian City City Lord's Mansion
An old man in his sixties, wearing a blue brocade robe, with a long gray beard and a kind-looking face, was sitting upright on the main seat of the city lord. On the left and right sides of him, there were people sitting upright.
Looking at the four deputy city lords of Dian City. However, at this time, the four deputy city lords looked at the contents of a jade slip with a solemn look on their faces. When all four of them read the contents of the jade slip, the four
People's faces became extremely ugly.
"The content in this jade slip was obtained by the warriors in our Daxia caravan after they killed a group of Japanese pirates at sea! I wonder what you think after reading it?" Meade Star saw that the four deputy city lords had all read it.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, he asked with a majestic look on his face.
"These days, those horse thieves and bandits have caused a storm in our Dian City. Unexpectedly, these Ying pirates have become bolder and are preparing to join forces with the horse thieves and bandits to invade our Dian City and plunder resources! This is simply unreasonable!
Do you think our Dian City is made of mud?" Chen Wenjie of the Chen family, one of the deputy city lords, said with an angry look on his face and he stood up.
"The western part of our Kingdom of Great Xia is at war with the Earth Demon Tribe to seize several mineral veins. Almost all the troops from the southwest and southwest have been transferred to the west to participate in the war, leaving our two southwest troops empty! For those horse thieves, bandits and Japanese pirates, it is absolutely necessary.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Ouyang Xiu, one of the deputy city lords, who was wearing a white brocade uniform and looked to be only in his forties, with a face as sharp as a knife and an extraordinary handsome appearance, said in a slow and unhurried manner.
"Those Japanese pirates really dare to invade in large numbers! Huh! As many as the city lord lets them come and die!" Lin Zhengying, who was wearing red and blue brocade clothes, said with a cold face.
"There are horse thieves on land, and in addition to Japanese pirates on the sea, there are also the Thirteen Storm Bandits. And the leaders of these thirteen pirate forces all have the strength of Yangdan level or above. It is difficult for us in Dian City to stop so many pirates.
The invading enemy!" Meade Star said with flashing eyes after hearing this.
"There are too many invading enemies. With our strength, it is difficult for us to defeat four hands with two fists! Mr. Mi, we should report to Longting and ask Longting to send some Yangdan realm powerhouses over! Otherwise, even if we can block their attack
, our Dian City will also suffer heavy losses." Chen Wenjie suggested after hearing this.
"This is a good suggestion! But this time the battle between our Daxia and the Earth Demon clan is huge. A quarter of the powerful people in our Daxia Dynasty's military are involved in this battle. Even if we report the matter
Dragon Court, it is estimated that Dragon Court will not have many strong men for us!" Meade Star nodded when he heard this, but soon shook his head and sighed.
"In addition to the five warriors above the Yang Dan realm within a thousand miles of Dian City, plus the strong ones from the Han, Huo, Qiu, Liao, Bai, and Feng Liu families, we can find at most eight to ten people.
But this time the invading enemies have gathered, there are at least more than thirty Yangdan realm warriors, we must plan ahead and plan everything to meet the enemy! Otherwise our Dian City will really suffer!" Ouyang Xiu played with his right hand.
There was a ring on his left hand, and he spoke calmly after hearing the words.
"More than twenty Yangdan realm warriors! Plus a combined army of about thirty thousand warriors! These bastards are determined to capture our Dian City!" Chen Wenjie said coldly after hearing this.
"No matter what happens now, we must repel the enemy's alliance at the minimum cost. Only in this way can we defeat them one by one and completely resolve the crisis in Dian City!" Meade Star nodded when he heard this, and then looked towards
Li Ji, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "Brother Li Xian, you are very resourceful, do you know if you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"Although we have 80,000 troops for city defense in Dian City, there are thirty-five towns outside Dian City that need our troops to protect! If there are no towns with 2,000 troops for defense, then we have only 10,000 troops available in Dian City!
Facing the fierce bandit coalition, our ten thousand troops are obviously insufficient, and we are also at a disadvantage in terms of the number of strong men on both sides." Li Ji nodded to Meade Star with a smile after hearing this, and then started to analyze,
However, he paused slightly when he said this, and then continued after seeing that everyone was listening, "We in Daxia are fighting fiercely with the Earth Demon Clan. Longting will probably only send a few Yangdan realm warriors, and we will wait for the Longting Sect to come."
Maybe this place has been robbed by bandits long ago, so now we have to neutralize the power of Dian City first, and the only way to do it is to ask the Warriors Guild to send people to help us!"
"This is a good idea! But asking people from the Warriors Guild to help will cost a lot!" Ouyang Xiu nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"That's right! Inviting people from the Warriors Guild to help us will probably require three years of tax accumulation in Dian City! And these taxes are not something we can use just as we want!" Chen Wenjie agreed upon hearing this, but when he thought of inviting warriors,
The price the guild had to pay made him feel a little worried.
"Yeah! That's right! The taxes in Dian City must be turned over to Longting! We can only use 30% of the taxes at most! And this 30% of taxes is obviously difficult to resolve the crisis in Dian City." Lin Zhengying nodded and analyzed after hearing this.
"These are just small things. The only thing I'm worried about is that someone strong in the king realm will attack!" Li Ji shook his head when he heard this, and said something that made the faces of Meade Star and others change drastically.
"No way! You must know that Dragon Court has an order that strong men from sects or casual cultivators above the king level are not allowed to participate in the war in Daxia. Once they violate the necessary requirements, the unparalleled strong men in Dragon Court will hunt down and kill them.
You won't take such a big risk, right?" Chen Wenjie said with an extremely ugly face.
"Our Great Xia has been at peace for nearly a thousand years, but in recent years there have been frequent wars! This is not a good sign! Many warriors who have been silent for too long may come out for activities, and we have to be on guard!" Li Ji sighed upon hearing this (5)
He said with a voice.
"Yeah!" Everyone's faces turned solemn upon hearing this, understanding what Li Ji was referring to.
"We must work together to protect Dian City, and we must minimize the losses. Let's do this! Each of our five families will spend 10,000 jade gold coins! They will be used to hire strong men from the Warriors Guild for support. What do you think?"
Meade Star pondered for a moment and then spoke to everyone.
"Ten thousand jade gold coins!...Okay! Just one person will come up with 10,000 jade gold coins! Wait until the war is over and ask for it back from Longting!" After hearing this, everyone's faces slightly pondered, and then they all nodded in agreement and said,
After all, if Dian City was raided by bandits, the loss would be far more than 50,000 jade and gold coins.
"Okay! Since everyone agrees! Now let's continue to discuss some details. We must kill all the factors that are harmful to our Dian City!" Meade Star smiled when he saw that everyone agreed.
"Okay!..." Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then began to discuss some details.
