Chapter 2183 This Is a Huge Threat
Following Du You's order, the Life Empire, which had been silent in the middle areas of the world, finally began to gather troops in the border areas. Of course, Du You had already found an excuse.
After all, the surrounding cities have been testing themselves and attacking themselves over the years.
Du You has never given up on these excuses, and now he just uses them.
As for why there must be an excuse for war, this is probably also a habit of Du You. At least in Du You's view, it is much better than people in this world who attack whenever they want and without any reason at all.
In fact, everyone's purpose is similar, but there is a reason that always makes the people below feel more at ease.
What is the difference between fighting without a reason and being a hooligan? It is different if you have a reason. You are just.
And Du You's move immediately annexed many surrounding cities. In cities further away, the mood is not so wonderful. For the first time, cities united and formed several alliances.
The frontal alliance can be said to be the most powerful, but even so, they only have more than fifty eighth-level experts in their hands, which is completely incomparable to Du You. The most critical thing is that the quality of these eighth-order ones is not enough.
Of course, they seem to know this, so they unite.
"This is a huge threat, the biggest threat around us. Although they have been lurking over the years, I know that they have been preparing for war. Unfortunately, our strength is simply not enough."
"Yes, their system is really good. Under the influence of that system, talents are continuously cultivated, and the power of their men will only become stronger and stronger, and the seventh- and eighth-level experts will also become stronger and stronger. more."
Although Du You has not expanded in the middle area in recent years, and there has been no movement, how can those city lords rest assured? After all, the actions of the Life Empire have never stopped.
Although it is only expanding to border areas, it is still expanding.
Moreover, the internal environment is so good that it continues to attract more and more people to join.
At first, it was just their civilians who wanted to join, but later it developed into some powerful adventurers, and later, some strong men were also attracted, even seventh-level strong men were attracted.
Without a city of one's own, it is very difficult for a seventh-level person to enter the eighth level with the help of other people's cities.
They saw hope that as long as they performed meritorious service in the Empire of Life, they would be able to nominally obtain a city as their territory. You don't have to do anything. Relying on the city's blessing, you can continue to practice and break through the current realm.
Now, how could those city lords not be extremely anxious? On the one hand, they must blockade everywhere to prevent their civilians from escaping. On the one hand, we must also strengthen control and prevent our strong subordinates from leaving.
It really made many city lords exhausted mentally and physically. Everyone kept paying more and more, but the effect was never very good. If the Life Empire hadn't expanded here, they would have been in despair.
It is precisely because of this that they keep moving. Different cities joined together to form alliances.
Some cities, imitating the management methods of the Life Empire, began to clean up their surroundings and build some towns around them.
Although this will affect the development of one's own city, it will still have certain benefits for people's livelihood. Unfortunately, their scale is too small.
Even if they unite with each other, they will not be a complete empire after all.
Everyone just cooperates with each other, and even the city lord and his subordinates are just a cooperative relationship, not an absolute subordinate relationship. It's not that easy to get these people to do their jobs well.
Therefore, although the effect is a little bit, it is still not very good.
They have also been monitoring the Life Empire and constantly sending spies into it. But the problem is, after all, they are just cities, and their power is not as powerful as an empire.
There are not many spies trained, and they are not that professional. In recent years, although people have continued to enter the Life Empire, they have not been able to bring back complete information, only some marginal public things.
What depresses them the most is that some people were actually assimilated after entering the Life Empire and directly joined the Life Empire. Some people are able to take their families away, some are not.
For those who could not take their family members away, many simply gave up on them, found new partners in the Empire of Life, and established new families. For this reason, many cities have been exposed to the eyes of the Life Empire.
Until now, the Life Empire had not touched them, but these parties had been condemning them.
At first they didn't know what this was for, but now they understood that these were all excuses to attack them. With these excuses, they have no way to refute them even if they want to.
Of course, most people have never thought of refuting it. In their view, war is war, so there is nothing to refute. But what they didn't notice was that there was a problem with the morale and mentality of the civilians and soldiers under their command.
Once the war starts, they will completely lose the support of the people. By then, there won't even be anyone willing to fight.
It is also possible that they don't care at all. After all, no matter how many weak people there are, they are not as useful as one strong person.
"The question now is, how do we solve this problem." After a long silence, someone finally spoke. "The Life Empire has been silent before, but now it is. Based on what they are doing in the fringe area, we are definitely within their expansion range. How can we stop them."
What they thought of was to block, not to destroy the Empire of Life, because they did not have the ability.
"I thought maybe we could form an alliance."
"We are already in alliance, but our strength is not enough." Not only is the strength not enough, they are not of the same mind. Let's not talk about holding each other back when fighting, but no one is willing to die for others.
"I'm not talking about us, but the alliances of several other cities around us. We all know that after the rise of the Life Empire, we are not the only ones who are threatened, even some cities behind us have also formed alliances."
The man looked around and then continued: "Just like a single city, our individual strength is not an opponent at all, but we have a common enemy, which is the basis of the alliance. As long as we can convince them, we can unite in Together, I think the Life Empire will never dare to attack us."
