Chapter 4234 Come to Hongcheng!
Hongcheng North Gate Tower!
"General, there is a large army outside the city!" Suddenly, a man patrolling the city tower pointed at the city gate and shouted loudly.
"Could it be that the city lord is back?" The general was overjoyed and looked out of the city, but soon, the joy on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Why are there so many people?"
The city lord took 50,000 people with him when he left, but now it seems that twice as many people have arrived.
"Quick! Report to the deputy city lord quickly, this is definitely not the city lord coming back!" Due to the distance, they could not clearly see each other's identity.
However, just by looking at the number of people, it can be seen that these people cannot be from Hongcheng.
"Yes!" The soldier quickly went down the tower and went to find the deputy city lord.
A large number of troops appeared outside Hongcheng, which made Hongcheng's defenders very worried.
"General, if these armies are not the city lord and the others, who could they be?" the deputy general next to the general asked in confusion.
"It's hard to say. We only left a total of 50,000 people. Look at how many people there are here. I'm afraid there are 100,000 people?" the general said.
"So, could it be that Longcheng has been captured by the Baicheng Alliance army?" the deputy general said.
"Is this impossible? Before our city lord went to Longcheng, he had already issued a call to other cities, asking everyone to go to Longcheng together.
Therefore, Hongcheng is definitely not the only one who supports Longcheng, there are also so many cities, Longcheng that the Baicheng Alliance cannot break!" the general said.
"But this army is very fast, and it looks like it's coming with bad intentions!" the deputy general said.
"Everyone is ready for battle!" No matter how many generals there are, whether they are friends or foes, they must be prepared first.
Otherwise, such a powerful army is really an enemy, and it will be troublesome to make preparations when the time comes.
Not long after, the deputy city lord arrived at the tower.
"What's going on? Who appeared outside the city?" the deputy city lord asked urgently as soon as he climbed onto the tower.
"It seems to be Longcheng's army!" the general replied.
It was too far away before, and even with the eyesight of their Mahayana monks, it was difficult to see the other party's identity clearly.
But during the time when the deputy city lord arrived, the army was much closer, and he could barely see the flag raised by the army, which looked very much like the flag of Longcheng.
But this also made him relieved. Fortunately, what he found was the flag of Longcheng and not the flag of Baicheng Alliance, otherwise it would be really scary.
"Longcheng's army? Longcheng's army is not guarding the city, so what are they doing here?" the deputy city lord said with a frown.
He looked far away and saw that the flag was the flag of Longcheng, which was really confusing.
Their city lord went to Longcheng with troops and horses to provide support, but now Longcheng's army appeared outside Hongcheng. This is very confusing.
"Deputy City Lord Meng, are these people pretending to be members of the White City Alliance?" A deputy general stood up and said.
"You'll know if it's true or false when they get closer!" Deputy City Lord Meng said.
He really couldn't understand why Longcheng's army appeared here. He had to find out.
"But if they are really from the White City Alliance, would it be too dangerous for them to get close to the city?" the deputy general said.
"Don't worry, even if they are really from the Baicheng Alliance, such a small number of people are not enough to capture our Hongcheng!" Deputy City Lord Meng said.
Based on their eyesight, there would be no more than 100,000 people approaching.
Although he knew that the Baicheng Alliance was indeed stronger than them, it was simply impossible for 100,000 people to capture Hongcheng.
As a first-level city, they have 200,000 troops. However, the city lord took away 50,000 people before, so there are still about 150,000 troops stationed in Hongcheng.
Moreover, it is much more difficult to attack a city than to defend it. Therefore, if the Baicheng Alliance wants to capture Hongcheng with less than 100,000 troops, it is absolutely impossible.
A group of people stood on the city tower, staring closely at the people on the other side who were approaching. As the distance got closer and closer, the other side's flag became clearer and clearer. It was indeed the flag of Longcheng.
"Deputy City Lord Meng, the people leading the way seem to be the Lord of Long City and the Lord of Xianyue!" When the people on the other side were only a hundred feet away from Hongcheng, and the people on the other side could basically see clearly, the city guarding general said.
"It is indeed the Lord of Long City and the Lord of Xian Yue. So it is absolutely impossible for these people to be pretending to be people from the Baicheng Alliance, but why do they appear here? And why don't they see our City Lord?" Deputy City Lord Meng asked in confusion.
.
"Lord of Long City, why did you appear in Hongcheng? Where is I, Lord of Hongcheng?" Deputy City Lord Meng suddenly shouted towards the opposite side.
"Deputy City Lord Meng, the army of the Baicheng Alliance is behind us. Please open the city gate and let us enter the city!" Lord Long City looked at the people on the tower and replied loudly.
"Lord Longcheng, our city lord is not here. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to bring so many soldiers and horses into the city, right?" Deputy City Lord Meng is not stupid. If the other party only has a few people or a small number of people, then there is no harm in letting them in.
But now they have brought nearly 100,000 people to Hongcheng, and it is during this special period. How can he just open the city gate and let so many people into the city?
What's more, he didn't see the White City Alliance army behind them. Unless the White City Alliance army really appeared now, then maybe they could still discuss it.
"If City Lord Meng doesn't believe Long, how about Long and City Lord Xianyue entering the city first, and then letting others enter the city after we explain the matter clearly?" City Lord Long seemed to have expected such a situation,
Said without thinking.
"That's okay. Open a single door and let Lord Long City and Lord Xian Yue come in!" Deputy City Lord Meng thought for a while and said.
With only the two of them coming in, they don't need to worry about whether they have any conspiracy.
Creak!
Soon, the two entered Hongcheng through a single door, and then were led up to the city tower by soldiers.
"Two City Lords, can you tell me now where I, City Lord Hong, am?" Seeing the two people coming up, Deputy City Lord Meng asked straight to the point.
"Deputy City Lord Meng, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Long City Lord said.
"Please!" Deputy City Lord Meng led the two of them to one side, far away from the others.
"Now you two can talk!" Deputy City Lord Meng asked again.
"Deputy City Master Meng, this is what happened..." Then, City Master Long and City Master Xian Yue told City Master Hong and their affairs.
Chapter completed!
