1124: Chapter 641: The Eight City Alliance Forced Out_2 1124: Chapter 641: The Eight City Alliance Forced Out_2 They argued till their faces were flushed and their ears were hot, yet they couldn’t co up with an effective plan.
They had remotely watched this inconceivable war, and they still vividly rember the shock and the stroke of luck they felt while watching.
Fortunately, from the beginning, they had no intention of going to war with the Conqueror Army.
Even forming the Allied Army was rely an attempt to drive them out of the Giant Dragon Coast.
Should they truly engage in battle, it would not be the Monster Army from the Goblin Margins that would end up as cannon fodder in Lady Strategy’s war for Ascension, but their own Giant Dragon Coast Allied Forces.
Even if they were given a hundred tis the courage, they would not dare to venture into the Goblin Margins to question the Conqueror Army, which is at the peak of its power, as to why they didn’t continue migrating towards the Valley, but instead are building roads, bridges, and fortifications in the Goblin Margins.
“They are establishing a city in the Goblin Margins, and that is already an established fact.
Even if they don’t station their entire population in this new city, they will at least leave a populace of five to ten thousand, more than half of which will be soldiers.
Only such a force can secure a firm foothold for them in the wilderness.
True to their nature, they will certainly not be content with just that; they would continuously plunder populations from outside to replenish themselves.
And we, the Giant Dragon Coast, will be the first to bear the brunt of this.
We must think of ways to prevent this from happening.”
“How do we prevent it?”
“First and foremost, we need to ensure that we have a significant advantage in military strength.
When it cos to a siege, we have to have enough resistance.
It’s very hard to achieve this relying solely on the power of a single city or town; like this ti, we need to rely on a coalition of cities.
Therefore, I propose that our alliance should beco more formalized and long-term.
Only in this way can we confront stronger enemies, whether they are the current Conqueror Army or the Koer Kingdom and the Sambia Alliance across from us.”
“I support this proposal.
We should have done this a long ti ago.
For many years, we have been suppressed by the Koer Kingdom and the Sambiyan Kingdom precisely because our cities have acted independently and have not been able to effectively unite.
Since we have already united this ti, why should we separate again?”
“I also agree with this proposal.
The situation we are facing now is different from the past.
If we continue to remain divided, not only our cities but the entire Giant Dragon Coast will be swallowed up.”
“Although this proposal is good, a snake without a head is no good.
Whom shall we honor as our Leader?”
“This still needs questioning?
Of course, West Gate City Mayor Duke Siegel.
He is the most qualified to be our Leader.
His West Gate City is the most famous, wealthiest, and largest city on the Giant Dragon Coast.”
“I disagree with this opinion.
The geographical position of West Gate City ans they face less threat, so if he were to serve as the Leader of the Alliance, I fear his level of concern for the enemy would be far from adequate.
I think it would be more appropriate for Lady Liona Lara of Posku City, which is at the forefront, to take the position because only then can we use all our strength to deal with the threat from the North.”
“Ridiculous, have you ever seen many cities place their core at the border?
What if the city falls when the enemy attacks in great force?
Won’t we imdiately fall into a headless state?
To place the ruling core in the safe rear is the wise choice.
Moreover, we are forming an alliance, a whole, what we need is to use the collective strength to protect the safety of a city, we can’t continue thinking in a way where everyone acts on their own.
Once the alliance is ford, we will surely organize a Regular Army, stationed in Posku to assist City Lord Lady Liona Lara in defense.”
“While this may be so, but…”
“Enough, stop arguing.
The alliance has not yet been confird, and you are already quarreling over the issue of the Leader.
Put this issue aside for a mont, let’s continue with the previous discussions, and after reaching consensus on other matters, we can continue on this topic.”
“This issue cannot be put aside; it must be dealt with now.
Because once the alliance is confird, the way we handle things will differ from before, whether it’s the governance of the residents or the establishnt of the army, including the attitude towards Efanso City.
We cannot simply and rudely ostracize them, but should actively draw them in, letting them join our collective, instead of being a nail that the Conqueror Army hamred into our Giant Dragon Coast.
I believe in this world, no one is willing to be a vassal to others.
Even if they were forced into that role before, now that there is an opportunity for independence, they will certainly make a new choice.”
“This idea seems sowhat wishful thinking, but it indeed is necessary to give it a try.
Once successful, it can indeed eliminate a major hidden danger within us.”
“Forming an alliance is no small matter.
I think we should consider it deeply, discuss it, and listen to the opinions of others.
How about we stop here for today, everyone goes back to carefully consider the matter, unify the opinions of their respective cities, and then we will hold a special eting on this issue?”
“I agree.”
“I also agree.”
“eting is adjourned.”
Under the high pressure brought by the Conqueror Army, the cities along the Giant Dragon Coast had to make a new round of adjustnts and changes, realizing that with the successful Ascension of Lady Strategy, the entire war situation in Felen had undergone a new change.
If they continue to fight individually as before, before long, the Giant Dragon Coast will beco food in the mouths of other giants, and it will be divided and digested bit by bit.
