It was past five in the afternoon, and more than five hours had passed since the two sides started fighting.

These five hours were not easy for Qingzhou. Compared with the Crane Alliance's step-by-step advancement, the Qingzhou War Alliance's defense line had been compressed to the extreme.

[All Email] Ultraman: With the exception of the three groups who will continue to hold the front lines, all brothers, focus your fire on this point (400.1017)! If we can capture this point, we'll be able to split the opposing fortress in half! Brothers, victory is at hand, go, go, go!

Ultraman sent out a command email, and the already shaky War Alliance fortress group seemed to finally be unable to withstand the Crane Alliance's overwhelming attack.

Faced with such a group of ferocious Crane Alliance members, Zhan Zhoucheng, who was in charge of the War Alliance, had a very dark expression on his face.

He thought this friendly match would end in failure, but he never thought that he would be in danger of defeat just five hours after the game started.

In the initial thinking of Zhanzhou City, including the Zhanzhou Village Chief, they were already prepared to drag the battle into the night and be crushed by the Crane Alliance overnight.

But who could have imagined that let alone a night battle, many people hadn't even had dinner yet, and they might have to evacuate Jizhou.

Battle丨Manage penguin groups in the world.

Zhan丨Zhoucheng: It’s no use. The enemy is obviously going to launch a general attack. We will definitely not be able to defend this wave. We need to make plans early.

War丨Ending war with war: If we can’t hold the front line, why don’t we just retreat a little?

Battle丨Village Chief: If we can’t hold it, forget it. If we can’t hold this point, our Zhao fortress group will be split into two, and we will be unable to fight then.

Battle丨Silver Fox: So should we admit defeat? Or should we continue fighting until the fortresses are completely destroyed?

War丨End the war with war: We can't admit defeat. We have finally entered Jizhou, and we are being driven out before we even get a chance to relax?

Battle丨Village Chief: If we really can’t hold on this time, Silver Fox, you should go talk to the Crane Alliance. I didn’t think we could win this friendly match.

Death Leaf: I don’t see why we should fight if we can win... Losing like this will really affect morale.

Battle丨Village Chief: The reason why I want to play this friendly match is, first, to test the emperor's uncle's thoughts, and second, mainly because you, Death God, want to fight with the emperor's uncle and Tu Ba Tian Xia.

Death Leaf: ...

War丨Ending War with War: What are you trying to figure out? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand what you're saying.

War丨Village Chief: You should know that compared with us, the Yangzhou Holy Alliance is a little stronger, but after all, it is not that much stronger. This is something that both we, the Crane Alliance, and the Holy Alliance are well aware of.

If the Crane Alliance beats us in this friendly match, there is no doubt that they will become the strongest alliance in the entire region. Now Yiliang is expected to completely collapse in the next two days, and by then it will be a three-way confrontation.

Death Leaf: I don’t understand what the three-legged tripod has to do with this.

Battle of Zhoucheng: Think about it, you've all read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? Shu Han and Eastern Wu formed an alliance to fight against the strongest Cao Cao, and the same logic applies here.

After defeating us, the Crane Alliance will become the only dominant force, which will definitely prompt us to form an alliance with the Holy Alliance to jointly fight against the Crane Alliance. The Emperor's uncle is not a fool, and he must be clear about the interests involved.

I guess the village chief just wanted to test whether the emperor's uncle had the confidence to fight two people at once, but now the emperor's uncle has told us with practical actions that he has the confidence to fight two people at once and win the championship.

Zhan丨Village Chief: Well, that’s about what I mean. Zhoucheng still understands me.

War | Silver Fox: Uh, then how should I negotiate? Just a simple peace? Or...?

Battle丨Village Chief: Of course we negotiate peace. The emperor's uncle is confident that he can defeat two enemies at once, so it is even more impossible for us to surrender directly. Let's negotiate peace first, and then focus on developing for a while. Later, we will directly unite with the Holy Alliance to fight a decisive battle with the Crane Alliance.

War丨Silver Fox: Okay, then I understand.

…

Looking at the Crane Alliance on the screen in front of him, which was unstoppable and overwhelming, Yuliang's heart was filled with relief.

"It wasn't easy. After more than half a month, we went from being the thirteenth-ranked alliance in the region to a force that could crush the war alliance."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. However, at this time, Yuliang received another new email. When he opened it, he found that it was none other than the leader of the War Alliance, the village chief of Zhan丨.

[Email] Zhan丨Village Chief: Are you there, Uncle Huang? Do you have time to chat?

Although he didn't know what the village chief Zhan was up to, Yuliang decided to reply first.

[Email] Uncle Huang: Yes, I'm here. What's the matter? For matters between our two families, you can contact Bai Yi Du Jiang. He's in charge of foreign affairs.

[Email] War丨Village Chief: Haha, don't worry, not to mention diplomatic matters, we really can't beat you Crane Alliance. I have already asked Silver Fox to take charge of the peace talks.

[Email] Emperor's Uncle: If not diplomacy, what else can we talk about?

[Email] Zhan丨Village Chief: It’s nothing, I just admire your courage, so I want to communicate with you and chat.

[Email] Uncle Emperor: ...I don't have much confidence to really fight two people at once. I just feel that if I want to conquer the world, I have to show some courage. If I don't even dare to take the lead, then how can I talk about conquering the world?

[Email] Zhan丨Village Chief: Haha, that’s true, that’s why I admire you. I don’t like to play tricks, I like to do everything openly and honestly.

So I came to you today to tell you that I lost this friendly match with a sincere heart, but the next time we fight, it is very likely that we and Yangzhou will come together to beat you.

[Email] Uncle Huang: Well, okay, you are the first straightforward leader I have ever met. Although we are still enemies now, I am already looking forward to working with you in the second season.

…

After some pleasantries, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, chatted about family matters, and then tacitly stopped emailing each other.

What surprised Yuliang was that the village chief's reply speed to emails was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes he could reply within seconds, but sometimes he had to wait for more than ten minutes before getting a reply.

"But this guy is very straightforward, which suits my taste."

Yuliang had already memorized the name of the village chief Zhan.

Crane丨Drinking and chatting happily while managing the penguin group.

Bai Yi Du Jiang: I'm sick of this! The better the diplomatic relationship between the War Alliance and the Myriad Demons, right? Damn, they both contacted me almost at the same time. Chatting with both sides got me so exhausted that I almost accidentally replied to the wrong message.

Wuye: Hahaha, I feel sorry for Baiyi for a second, there's nothing I can do about it, those who are capable should do more work, and it's because you, Baiyi, are the most eloquent among us managers.

Ultraman: That's right, look at me and Wuye, we are okay at fighting and giving orders, but we are good at making suggestions behind the scenes. If we really let him do diplomacy, we will probably lose the alliance. Not to mention Ma Feifei, besides Aba Aba, all she can do is call him Emperor Uncle 666. As for the Emperor Uncle, it's hard enough for him to spend money, of course I can't bear to let him do diplomacy.

Ma Feifei: Yes, yes, yes, I am a loser and I still need my big brother in white.

The hardworking person: That’s right, we are all waste.

Emperor’s uncle: Aba Aba, Waibi Babu?
