Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Establishment of the United Army

  If only having great strength represented everything, then there would not have been brave warriors who slayed dragons since ancient times. A powerful dragon individual is not an existence that humans can contend with. Just like a single wolf cannot defeat a lion, but a pack of wolves can kill a ferocious lion. When the individual is not strong enough, the unity of the group will make up for this deficiency.

  Jones as a dragon clan is a very powerful existence, and with Mo Yan's power that has not been seen to the extreme so far, on the mainland, it can be said that there are few objects that can match them. However, the mainland is not just a place where you can do whatever you want just because you have power.

  In human history, there have been many powerful demons, but they all eventually became nothing more than a part of history, giving rise to the legendary fame of numerous heroes. Mo Yan might be able to defeat one of the strongest God-chosen warriors among the intelligent species on the continent, but he would not be a match for a group of God-chosen warriors. If he were to act recklessly relying solely on his own power, then the fate that awaits him would be no different from that of those demon kings in history.

  So Mo Yan abided by the rules from the beginning, not only because it was beneficial for the development of Lei Ting Cliff, but also because he deeply knew that his own power was not infinite. Now the Parliament City in Lobito has a garrison of 10,000 people, and Mo Yan may be able to go out and make an effort when attacking, but he cannot do it alone.

  If they could not keep the ten thousand men at Lobito and let them return to Parliament City, then relying on the defensive facilities of Parliament City, even if all of Erland united to form a coalition army, they would have no way to deal with them in a short period of time. Therefore, Mo Yan ordered Leifora to stop and set up a defensive line at a distance from Lobito.

  Only when the four thousand men of the Santafe legion or more arrive, will Mo Yan have the confidence to keep as many of these parliamentary warriors as possible and weaken the resistance in the subsequent attack. Once this ten thousand Sarte warriors are lost, even if the parliament has a perfect defense, it will be at a disadvantage in the process of defending.

  And five days later, Arika and Ankud finally sent a letter, inviting Mo Yan to attend the meeting in Ankud. The loss of three thousand people just now made Ankud somewhat anxious, and the number of warriors was even smaller than before. Now, even if all of Elan is united, there are only about 10,000 warriors.

  This made them start considering the proposal of Thunder Cliff, and those who did not originally want Thunder Cliff to participate also shut up due to the sudden attack on Parliament City. Because of Moyan's identity as a demon, it was not beneficial for the entire Eran at all. At this time, if they didn't stop the million-man army of Parliament City, then the next one to fall would be Saint Phi.

  Once the City of Santa Fe was captured, the Council City occupied one-third of Eran. Eran would gradually lose its power to resist, so Arica and Ankud agreed to Mo Yan's proposal and reconvened the council to discuss the formation of a coalition army. As the two main parties in this meeting, there was one thing that Arica and Ankud were clear about: they would not give the command of the coalition army to a demon.

  "Well, let's get the meeting started then." In the spacious conference hall, there were currently only three people and a demon present. Since Robitto was occupied, the city representatives near Arica couldn't make it through there to Ankudo, so only Arica's representative had snuck over, representing the entire Arica faction.

  And for the sake of fairness, Ankude and Shengfei also selected a representative to represent the northern and southeastern cities of Eran, to attend this reconvened council. As Mo Yan's first participation in this council, it can be said that it is one of the fewest participants in Eran history, making Mo Yan wonder whether he should feel lucky or unlucky.

  Emily, who came with him, was almost useless, after all, this was not a regular meeting. At the same time, Mo Yan also did not have the opportunity to use Emily to remind Eran's majority of cities that he had already joined the Sart people.

  "I think the three of you already know about Robito's fall." Mo Yan started directly and bluntly, "The goal of this meeting is to establish a joint army to liberate the Congress City occupied by the rebels and end the turmoil that has lasted for months in Ailan."

  "Yes." Arica's representative nodded and said, "But there are many differences between Arica and Ankud on how the coalition forces will be formed. This is also why the last council did not come up with a result for a long time, and finally the representative of this city was assassinated by an assassin in the Council City. In terms of command and supply of materials for the coalition forces, we need to reach a specific intention."

  "Ankud believes that the command of the Allied Forces must be in Ankud's hands, we just lost three thousand people because of Lobito." Ankud glanced at Arica's representative and said: "Moreover, we also caused a loss of one thousand people to the army of Parliament City. With such achievements, I believe Ankud is fully capable of commanding the Allied Forces to defeat the legion of Parliament City and liberate Parliament City."

  "Haha……" The representative of Arika smiled and said: "The 3,000-strong garrison retreated in just two days. I really don't know where your so-called command is. If the command of the allied forces were handed over to Ankude, perhaps in a few days there would be hardly anyone left in the allied forces. If it was Arika's people who defended Zilobite, we have the ability to hold on until reinforcements arrive. Arika's commanders have the best military qualities in Eran."

  Within two days, Lobito fell because the city gate was opened at night. Ankud's face didn't look good, and Aliga's words made him feel embarrassed: "I think even Aliga's people may not be able to do better. From our recent intelligence, we know that Azela and Maro in the Council City have colluded with each other. The Shadow Troop, which is well-known in the Central Plains countries, has secretly helped them."

  "Malakar?" Arianna's representative furrowed her brow and said, "You're saying that Azura's coup was entirely due to Malakar's instigation? And everything recently has also been because of the Malakarians manipulating from behind the scenes?"

  "Yes!" Ankude's representative felt a little proud that he had obtained this intelligence before Arica, and said proudly: "Some time ago, we noticed that unidentified people were transporting weapons and equipment from the outside world to the Parliament City. Although they did not reveal their faces, it can be confirmed that they are not the Sart people of Erland. Now, only Malo can enter Erland from the north."

  The representative of Arika was shocked by the news brought by Ankude's representative. If all this is the operation of dark shadows, then today's council is not safe either. Eran has no dark power that can match it, and who knows when the assassins in these dark shadows will jump out from the darkness.

  "This is not fresh news." Mo Yan smiled after reading the dispute between Alika and Anku: "As early as several months ago, Thunder Cliff had already grasped this message and had some dealings with them. If it weren't for Thunder Cliff's protection, the commander of the Saint Fey expeditionary force would have been assassinated by those shadowy killers when they captured the first city."

  But what we need to worry about now is not the assassins in the dark, but the problem of forming an alliance army, right? From the words of the two just now, I have already understood why the last meeting failed. Since neither side has given up on command, why can't a joint command be formed?"

  Arica and Ankud were shocked by the information in Mo Yan's hands, but also brightened up at his suggestion. Ah, since neither side is willing to give up command, why not have both sides send a legion commander to jointly command the allied forces? Wouldn't that solve the problem of command?

  "As for the issue of supplies, I think it's better to just follow the current level of both sides and provide supplies to their own soldiers separately." Mo Yan continued: "Sending all resources to a single city is just a matter of unified transportation. The soldiers on both sides can enjoy the original supplies, so isn't the supply problem also solved?"

  "This indeed solved most of the problems." Although it was a bit awkward to have a demon come and solve the problem that the Council of Commerce had been discussing for nearly a month without resolving, both Arica and Ankud thought this was a good idea. "If the issues with command and supply are resolved, then forming an allied army is entirely feasible," they said. "Next, we only need to discuss where the allied forces will gather..."

  In Mo Yan's few words, the biggest problem that troubled the formation of the Allied Forces was solved. The subsequent discussions were all unimportant issues, and now the Saint Fei City Legion stationed in Cardel will directly merge into the army in Arica, go to Robito to meet with the Thunder Cliff Demon Legion stationed nearby, and surround the Council City with a 10,000-man army.

  And Ankude, because he had to defend the city, did not participate in this battle. However, even so, there were nearly 9,000 Sarte warriors, plus the Thunder Cliff's monster legion, defeating the Parliament City's legion was not a problem. The problem was how to prevent them from escaping back to Parliament City after being defeated.

  Once Lobito falls, the remaining garrison troops will certainly flee. This requires an army to hold the road between Lobito and Benguela, leaving as many of these fleeing Benguela soldiers behind as possible, so that they do not escape back into Benguela, causing difficulties for a subsequent attack on Benguela.
