Because Tianlin City was less than a day away from a day's time, so normally speaking, the Scarlet Dragon Army should arrive at the Yu City faster than the forces of the State of Shuixia, and should have sufficient time to prepare. However, the prerequisite was that there must be a unique technique that allowed them to defeat the enemy.
When night fell, Bai Yuhao led eight thousand troops and left the Tianlin City. With the fastest speed, he marched through the night, and also sent spies to monitor the movements of the State of Shuixia army, so that they wouldn't be able to attack from the east and west at any time.
Just as Bai Yuhao was leading the troops towards Yu City, the news of Meng City being occupied had already caused the entire Palace City to be worried.
Because once Meng City was thrown away, the State of Shuixia would take the opportunity to take over the surrounding cities to consolidate their advantage, and with the current Crimson Dragon Army going all out to deal with the Woodgod Kingdom, they simply had no time to split their forces, and if they were to mobilize their forces from the other Legions, it would at least take a few days. At that time, most of the surrounding small cities might already fall into the hands of the State of Shuixia.
Wu had no choice but to gather Big High Priest and several important officials for an emergency consultation, including Mu Yinv.
"Dragon Emperor, throwing this Meng City could mean that there are dangers everywhere for Holy Dragon Kingdom and it must be resolved as soon as possible. I think that we should propose another negotiation for State of Shuixia." The one who spoke was the Minister in charge of Holy Dragon Kingdom and Foreign Affairs.
"Foreign Secretary, it's clear from this State of Shuixia that you do not wish to negotiate. Even the First Prince has personally gone, yet you do not give any face to the State of Shuixia. I think we should immediately mobilize the army closest to the Border of Lianluo and send the Meng City back." The minister immediately retorted.
The remaining ministers were also divided into two factions as they argued endlessly.
"Rumor has it that this time, the First Prince planned to transfer the Scarlet Dragon Army's newly appointed commander, Bai Yuhao, to the Meng City to command. He wanted to stabilize the situation, but who would have thought that the Meng City would be broken so quickly? "It seems like that Commander Bai is only mediocre." At this moment, Eldest High Priest coughed once and then bowed as he spoke. He had already heard from the First Prince that Bai Yuhao was Loong Xuan, so he took the opportunity to discredit Bai Yuhao.
"Is that so? Previously, Godly General Liu praised Commander Bai highly, and Commander Bai had already contributed a lot for Red Dragon Legion. " Dragon Emperor revealed a puzzled expression.
"It's probably because he's a youngster that he has such high expectations of himself. Moreover, this Commander Bai is Godly General Liu's son-in-law. Of course Godly General Liu will pick on him. " Big High Priest said in an extremely unkind tone.
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but whisper to each other, as if they agreed with Big High Priest's words.
"Big High Priest, are you sure about your information?" Suddenly, Mu Yinv, who had been silent all this time, shot a sharp gaze at Big High Priest.
When Big High Priest met Mu Yinv's gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Godly General Mu, what do you mean?" High Priest's face darkened as he asked.
"Dragon Emperor, according to my intelligence, actually, this Meng City was already lost before Commander Bai arrived at Meng City. So, it wasn't that Commander Bai's command was unfavorable. It was that he didn't have any chance at all. However, according to the latest information that I have received, Commander Bai has retreated to guard the Tianlin City and is trying to find a way to protect the small surrounding cities. " Mu Yinv turned to Dragon Emperor and said.
"I never thought that Godly General Mu had been paying attention to the battle situation of Border of Lianluo." Dragon Emperor said in surprise.
"If that Commander Bai wants to protect the surrounding cities, that would probably be a pipe dream. Because he doesn't have the strength to defend against the attack of the State of Shuixia army at all." High Priest knew that the reason he lost the Meng City was because the First Prince had done something about it. His goal was to deal with Bai Yuhao, but Bai Yuhao currently did not have a lot of manpower, so it was impossible for them to talk about the surrounding small cities that could protect Meng City.
"How did Big High Priest know that Commander Bai didn't have enough men?" Mu Yinv asked, her eyes cold. Actually, she already knew from the information that Loong Ao started targeting Bai Yuhao the moment he arrived at Border of Lianluo. Thus, Bai Yuhao had no choice but to confess his identity to her disciple and ask for her disciple's help. This means that Loong Ao's goal in coming to the front line was probably for Bai Yuhao.
"This... But once the Meng City is lost, even if an army withdraws, they still won't have much left. Thus, we can speculate that he definitely doesn't have any remaining forces. " Big High Priest didn't expect Mu Yinv to suddenly retort like that, but his reaction was still very fast and it made sense.
"It's not wrong for Great Wu Steel to say that. No matter how capable Commander Bai is, he wouldn't be able to come up with such strength out of thin air. The situation in the small city around Meng City is quite worrisome!" Dragon Emperor nodded and said worriedly.
"Dragon Emperor, since the First Prince is at the frontline, I feel that the First Prince should be in charge of this Border of Lianluo battle. This is just a loss of a Meng City, it doesn't have much of an impact on my Holy Dragon Kingdom. Right now, the First Prince was leading the Crimson Dragon Army to attack the Woodgod Kingdom defense line. This was a good opportunity to train the First Prince. Furthermore, I believe that with the First Prince's abilities, not only would he be able to quickly breach the Woodgod Kingdom defense line, he would also be able to take back his Meng City. " Big High Priest advised again.
"Big High Priest, the way you march and fight is not as simple as you think. Moreover, don't underestimate Woodgod Kingdom, otherwise you will suffer big losses." Mu Yinv sneered.
"I think Godly General Mu is overthinking it. Compared to the First Prince, I am more worried about that Bai Yuhao, who thinks that he can protect the surrounding cities of Meng City. If he can't even protect a single one, then he would really be a laughing stock!" Big High Priest said sarcastically.
"Minister of War, how many small cities are there around the Meng City?" Dragon Emperor thought for a moment and then asked.
"Three." "Yes, sir."
"Then if the State of Shuixia advances and attacks these three small cities, the fastest we can do is a few days." Dragon Emperor immediately asked.
"At least ten days." "Yes, sir."
"Then we still have some time. Let's see Loong Ao's performance first. If he is able to break through the Woodgod Kingdom defense line in time, he would have the time to call for reinforcements, and then, retrieve the Meng City. " Dragon Emperor also seems to choose to believe Loong Ao's ability.
After listening, Mu Yinv bid farewell without a word and walked out of the hall. With a light light light in her eyes, she said to herself, "Loong Xuan, Loong Xuan, you better not lose to Loong Ao! If I lose to him, it'll be hard for you to turn the tables around this time. " After saying that, he revealed an elusive smile and disappeared.
