Chapter 5080: Sooner rather than later!

Remember [] for a second,!
Xingle City City Lord's Mansion!
At this time, several chief elders and the outer kings were sitting in the hall, and there were two generals standing in the hall.
"General Wu and General Lu, how is the situation in and outside the city now?" the elder asked.
"General Hui, after these days of inquiries, we can confirm that Xin Liao City has indeed gathered a large number of troops. And according to the latest news, some foreign dynasties are currently adding troops to Xin Liao City." General Wu said first.
"Can you find out their current strength?" the elder asked.
"At present, there are no less than 5 million troops in Xinliao City, but if other foreign dynasties successfully increase their troops, it is estimated that it will not be less than 7 million troops." General Wu replied.
"These guys are really not afraid of death, do you think they can stop us with more troops than us?" The second elder looked a little disdainful.
The five million of them are elites, and they are not comparable to the uneven troops of a foreign dynasty.
"Continue to inquire about the situation in Xinliao City, and report to me at any time if you have any developments!" The elder said to General Wu.
"Yes! The subordinates will retire first!" General Wu handed over and left the hall.
"General Lu, how is the situation in the city?" The elder turned his attention to General Lu again.
"Returning to the general, the people under his subordinates have been investigating the whole city for the past few days. At present, they have not found any spies from the Danqing Alliance. I think they should have all withdrawn!" General Lu said.
He was the leader of the advance army that entered Xingle City before, and now after entering the city, he is responsible for the task of garrisoning the city and the security of the city.
"They have set up such a large defense formation in Xingle City, but no one is stationed in the city. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" But the first elder felt that this seemed a little unreasonable.
If they don't have any defenders in the city, what's the point of arranging such a large formation?
"Elder, are they hiding somewhere, but we just didn't find it?" said Nanping Waiwang.
"Are you sure you have searched the entire city?" The elder nodded and asked General Wu again.
"We have sent a large number of people these days, and every household in the city has been checked, and indeed no one from the Danqing Alliance has been found.
And I have also asked, what they can be sure of is that the Danqing Alliance army who returned to Xingle City a few months ago did not stay in the city, but left Xingle City and headed towards Xinliao City. "General Lu replied.
"It would be impossible for ordinary people to set up such a large city defense formation. Nine times out of ten, this city protection formation was created by the experts of the Holy Dynasty.
However, it is impossible for no one to see such a large formation. Therefore, the people who stayed in the city were not necessarily from the Danqing Alliance, but also from the Holy Dynasty. "Nanping Wai Wang continued.
"This subordinate has also thought about it, but what makes the subordinate strange is that all the people in the city said that they did not see anyone setting up a large defense formation in Xingle City.
For the people of the Holy Dynasty, these people are still very impressive. Because many of them saw with their own eyes that the man in black robe broke through the great defense formation of Xingle City with one palm.
If the people of the Holy Dynasty really set up a great defense formation above Xingle City, it is impossible for them not to know it, let alone not see it at all. "General Lu explained.
"This is really confusing. Could it be that this great defense formation just appeared out of thin air?" Hearing this, the people present were even more incomprehensible.
They have seen this large defense formation. Although the power of this large formation is average, how can they avoid everyone's eyes and ears if they want to set up such a large city protection formation?
"Are you sure that the people in the city are not lying?" The King Outside Aurora asked a little unwillingly.
"If only a few people would lie, but with so many people in the entire city, it's impossible for everyone to lie, right? Especially since most of the people in the city are ordinary people, if someone really wants to lie, it's impossible to deceive us without any flaws. "General Lu said.
They ask these questions every time they search for a family, most of whom are not monks.
In the face of these monks, people in the whole city want to lie without leaving a trace, which is obviously unreasonable.
But everyone's words are basically the same, so there can only be one possibility, and what they say is true.
"This is really strange. These guys can set up such a large defense formation without anyone in the city noticing it. This is really incredible!" The elder also frowned.
"Elder, is it possible that this is their trap?" said the third elder.
"What is the trap that the third elder is referring to?" The first elder didn't quite understand.
"What I mean is that the reason why we are so confused and suspicious now is exactly what they want. Think about it, although they have set up a large defense formation, in addition to being very imposing , by itself is not very powerful.
Because they want to arrange a really powerful formation without the people in the entire city noticing, this is obviously very difficult.
Moreover, the time and resources spent on arranging such a large formation are huge, and they obviously do not intend to waste it.
So they deliberately set up such a strong but not strong formation, which looks imposing, at least let us think that this formation is a formation that they used their energy to build, rather than a formation that was randomly arranged. "The three elders speculated.
"But what's the point of this for them? It took so much effort to set up such a great defensive formation that couldn't stop us?
Although this great formation is not as terrifying as imagined, it is not simple, not to mention the fact that no one in the entire Xingle City has discovered it. ' the others wondered.
"Of course it makes sense. The purpose is to hold back our troops. Now that we know that they have carefully arranged a formation here, do we always feel that there is an ambush in this city?
But we can't find their people, can we go to Xingle City with confidence? In this way, do you think we really dare to send all five million troops to attack Xinliao City?
This is our way of retreat. If there is an ambush, when we send troops, they will block the city of Xingle and cut off our retreat. Wouldn't it be bad? " said the three elders.
"The first elder, the third elder's statement seems to have some truth. Now we are really worried that there is an ambush in the city, but we can't find any evidence.
In particular, the Great Defense Array said that it was not strong, but not weak either. If it is really weak, maybe we will not take it seriously and just kill the five million army, they will naturally fail to achieve their goal.
But now this great defense formation is obviously carefully designed, the purpose is to confuse us, so that we always feel that there is still an ambush in this city, so that we dare not focus on Xinliao City wholeheartedly. "The five elders also agreed.
"That's right, didn't General Wu also say it just now? They have assembled an army of 5 million in Xinliao City, and there are still 2 million reinforcements on the way.
Now they use this great defense formation to confuse us. If the Lord wants us to send troops now, we really dare not send out all five million troops. We must leave a part to be stationed in Xingle City!
If we leave an army of one million to garrison Xingle City, we can only dispatch four million troops, but we have to face an army of seven or eight million.
As a result, the disparity in strength between us and the Danqing Alliance has undoubtedly increased.
They are equivalent to twice as many troops as us, and they have an absolute advantage in troops. Even if our army of five million are all excellent generals, how much will our losses be if we really fight together? " said the fifth elder.
"Then do you think there is an ambush in this city?" The first elder pondered for a while and then asked.
"So this is the result they want, false and true, true and false, we really dare not say whether there is an ambush in this city!
If there is no ambush, that's all, if there is an ambush, we may be fooled! " said the fifth elder.
"In that case, do we really have to leave a part of our troops stationed in Xingle City?" said the first elder.
"For the sake of safety, we may really have to do this. After all, this is our retreat, and we can't ignore it."
"Now I may understand a little, why we sent so many troops, but none of them can bring good news.
Don't say it's them, now even us, it seems that the situation is somewhat passive. "The Great Elder suddenly realized.
In the past, he always scolded those guys as waste, but now they are sending troops by themselves, but they are also facing a helpless predicament.
"Speaking of which, this Holy Dynasty is too hateful, if they hadn't colluded with these foreign dynasties, otherwise, how could such a storm be caused by these foreign dynasties alone.
Even if they have a lot of troops, we can still attack. But now that the Holy Dynasty is helping them secretly, we have to be timid, which is really annoying. "The Fourth Elder said very angrily. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
It is conceivable that if the great defense formation of Xingle City hadn't been helped by the Holy Dynasty, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to arrange it without the entire city knowing.
This also tells them that once they start a war with the Danqing Alliance, the Holy Dynasty may appear at any time, and this is a problem that people have to worry about.
"If you want me to say, then we should send troops before their reinforcements arrive, at least a few million less troops, we still have some advantages.
But the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. "The second elder said impatiently.
"There is no problem in attacking the Danqing Alliance now, but from this defense formation, the Holy Dynasty really wants to help the Danqing Alliance.
If we start a war like this, I'm afraid we will suffer the same! " said the fifth elder.
"Don't we still have the Lord? If the Holy Dynasty really sends troops, then the Lord can no longer turn a blind eye, and our goal is only the Danqing Alliance." The second elder said.
"That's right, I'll report the situation to the lord. It's better to start the battle early, otherwise it will be more and more unfavorable to us!" After the first elder said, he left the hall directly.
