Since it is on the territory of hell, the Immortal City has always maintained contact with the hell army, but now it is surrounded by hundreds of miles of trapped city territory, and the transmission of intelligence will also be affected.
"Lord Qi, these 30,000 troops are as powerful as a rainbow. At a glance, they should all be high-level ghost generals."
A rapid march without any cover-up was also one of Wu Xuan's and his others' strategies.
"Thirty thousand high-level ghost generals don't even hide their secrets at all, so it looks like they are the Hell Army.
If they are enemies, they will definitely hide their strength so that we can't tell the truth and we can take advantage of the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Go check again, pay close attention to every move of the Mad Lion Army, and report any problems immediately."
"yes……"
The kid who was inquiring about the military situation bowed and accepted the order, and then ran out quickly.
After the waiting kid left, the superior city lord slowly sat up, then turned around and looked at the map hanging behind him.
"Now that the situation is in crisis, if you have any good opinions, please share them.
This mad lion army came to my immortal city, presumably to use the city to station troops, and then compete with the hell army.
Everyone, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
With several forces sending troops at the same time, it is impossible for the Immortal City to just ignore it. If it wants to survive in the cracks, it must rely on one force.
Now is the time for them to make a choice. If they make a bad choice, their Immortal City will become someone else's slave.
"City Lord, I think that when the Mad Lion Army comes to the Immortal City, they will definitely fight a protracted decisive battle with the besieged city. As long as the besieged city is captured, they will leave.
Although the Yinsi Army is powerful, this is the territory of hell after all. I believe that we should welcome the Mad Lion Army into the city first, and then we will assist them in seizing the trapped city.
After the trapped city is captured and the Mad Lion Legion leaves, the city lord will become the next lord of the trapped city."
An old man said softly.
"Then what should we do if the Mad Lion Legion not only refuses to leave after seizing the trapped city, but also seizes the soldiers and horses in our hands?"
Another middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.
"Who can tell what will happen in the future? Now we are trying to survive in the cracks. If no force is attached to any force, only destruction awaits.
The trapped city has captured five surrounding cities, and only ours has not been captured. It is not that they do not have the strength to capture it, but they are afraid of heavy casualties.
This time, as long as they resist Hell's attack, their next target will be us.
Whether the city lord wants to surrender to others or whether he wants the development he seeks here, now is the time to choose.
If we miss this opportunity, we will offend both hell and the underworld at the same time, and it will be even more difficult to survive at that time."
The old man's analysis was sound and reasonable. Although the ghost kings around him did not agree, they did not object either.
"Hey, old man Kumu, you escaped from the night and joined my Immortal City. You must know the strength of the trapped city well, right?
Why don't you tell the city lord how strong the trapped city will be after capturing the five cities?"
A young ghost king looked at the old man who just spoke and said with a sneer on his face.
The old man named Kumu was dressed in black. He had a goatee beard and his face was like a deadwood, so everyone called him Kumu Old Man.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?
I, Kumu, fled from the Night City just because I didn’t want to be the ghost of the dead city. When I came to the Immortal City, I just couldn’t breathe.
We have several major cities that are closely related to each other. My Night City was taken away, and I just couldn't breathe this sigh of relief, so I came to the Immortal City to find a chance to avenge my past humiliation.
If you have any objections to my old man, I will leave now to avoid suspicion."
After finishing speaking, the old man Kumu snorted coldly, then gave the superior city lord a fist and turned around to leave.
"Hey, don't be angry, Deadwood Ghost King. He was just joking with you. Now that the army is approaching the city, we should think about how to fight the enemy instead of being suspicious of each other.
You were trapped in the city and captured, which was unexpected by us. We did not send troops to rescue you because we did not communicate with each other before.
Now that we are in the same boat, we naturally have to share the same hatred and resist the invading enemy together.
Okay, regarding what the Deadwood Ghost King just said, do you have any other opinions?"
As soon as Kumu was about to leave the main hall, he was stopped by the city lord.
"Ku Mu, don't be angry, I think what you said makes sense.
Now we cannot hesitate, no matter it is hell or underworld, we must choose a force to rely on and seek better development.
But the consequences of a dead tree and the others in Night City, I personally prefer the hell side."
After hearing this, the upper city lord couldn't help but nodded, then frowned, appearing a little hesitant.
"Report, the Mad Lion Army is less than ten miles away from the Immortal City."
Just when the city lord was hesitating, another kid who was inquiring about the military situation ran into the main hall and knelt down to report.
"What is supposed to come will eventually come. Everyone, come with me to the city to see if this Mad Lion Army is real or fake."
The city lord knew that there was no room for hesitation at this time. The enemy was approaching the city, and it was also an army from the hell side. If he resisted, it would surely trigger a mad siege by the Mad Lion Army.
He is a small undead city lord whose cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Ghost King. How can he fight against the Mad Lion Legion?
What he relies on is just the city of the Immortal City, but without absolute strength, how long can a city protect them?
"Okay, let's go and see how many strong men have come from the Mad Lion Legion. If their strength is not as good as ours, we don't have to open the city gate for them and offend the Yin Division."
The city lord led five or six ghost kings and walked toward the city wall in a mighty manner, but at this moment, a city guarding ghost rushed over.
"Report, the Mad Lion Legion sent a kid to pay homage to the city."
The city guard ghost will stand in front of the city lord, clasping his fists and bowing to salute.
"Oh, we actually sent an envoy here. Let him come over."
"yes……"
When the ghosts were about to leave, the city lord waved again, and a group of ghost kings returned to the city lord's mansion again.
"City Lord, when the envoy comes, he must ask about their strength and test whether they are the real army of hell."
The young ghost king who had previously suspected Kumu was busy reminding him.
Not long after the city lord and the others sat down, a masked ghost general walked in quickly.
"The envoy of the Mad Lion Legion has met the Lord of the City."
Lai Gui cupped his fists and bowed, his body slightly bent, and he looked neither humble nor arrogant.
"Bold envoy, you still don't kneel down when you see the city lord."
A ghost guide next to him shouted loudly.
But the masked messenger still stood there without making any movement.
"Our Mad Lion Legion is one of the ten legions of hell. When we enter any city, the city lord will personally go out to greet us. Our envoys go to deliver messages, but no one asks us to kneel down and salute.
Not to mention your immortal city, even the royal city thousands of miles away, they wouldn't dare to do so.
Why, the Immortal City is planning to set rules for our Mad Lion Legion."
The man wearing the mask had a cold voice and looked at the city lord above with sharp eyes, as if he was not afraid at all.
"You are so brave. Your Mad Lion Army is strong, but when you come to my immortal city, you must also abide by the rules of my immortal city."
