However, the Immortal Alliance's deliberation committee was very slow to make decisions on such major matters. They needed to gather sufficient intelligence and make a firm judgment before issuing a firm order.
To put it bluntly, it was a tacit consensus reached by the decision-makers of the Immortal Alliance for the sake of their own careers.
This is what is meant by "the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, no mistakes are made."
"Everyone, please be patient. It's not that we two don't want to give orders, but we are completely ignorant of the art of war, making it difficult for us to make decisions! I have already sent a message to Shengxian Mountain. It won't be long before a general from the Immortal Alliance arrives here to lead you through this difficult time."
"Until then, please hold on."
"persist in!?"
Hearing this, a monk in the audience laughed in anger: "What are you going to do? Fight with all your might? I dare to fight with all my might, but even if I do, I'll just die in vain. The two of you have a meeting. In this critical moment, can you show some responsibility?"
The reason why he dared to fight to the death was not because he was overwhelmed with justice and indignation.
It was because his inheritance was right under the enemy's nose and could be attacked and looted at any time.
For all parties, the actual reasons would not be put on the surface, and when talking, they had to be wrapped in the righteousness. However, all parties also understood the real reason behind this righteousness.
In the main hall, Cheng Tong watched the quarrel silently.
She had seen this kind of scene before when she and Chenghui traveled all over Zhongfuzhou. However, at that time, these intrigues and verbal battles had nothing to do with her.
But now that she was in the middle of it, she felt her head swelling.
She couldn't imagine that these people could still quarrel when facing a powerful enemy.
Cheng Tong also thought about stepping forward and leading the monks to counterattack the demons and alien races.
After all, the Aoki Giant Soldier was right beside her, protecting her every step of the way.
But before she left, Cheng Ying specifically warned her that if Cheng Tong suddenly wanted to make a decision, she must hold back! She had to think about it at least three times before taking action.
So, Chengtong didn't say anything.
Originally, only leaders of factions or high-level Jindan cultivators could enter this hall.
Chengtong is an exception.
Because she is from Cangxia Sect.
Moreover, he brought a terrifying wooden man with him.
The reason why the local monks did not bring the topic to Chengtong was because Chengtong really had the ability to lead them in a counterattack.
This ability can also make them shut up forever in the blink of an eye.
They were unsure of Chengtong's character.
"...Then I would like to ask the two of you to give us a word. Do we want to rescue those common people? Do we want to reclaim these lost lands?"
After arguing for half an hour, the topic finally came down to one question.
Zhou Shang and Deng Qiang had no room to avoid it anymore.
But the answer given by the two was still to pass the buck.
The decision-making power was given to the local monks, and the local monks also did not express their opinions.
It is not easy to ask for external reinforcements.
The Immortal Alliance has always been like this.
It is no wonder that Xingluo Lake, one of the eight major sects, did not join these people.
The demons and alien races seemed to have realized this point, and during last night's actions, they did not provoke Xingluo Lake at all.
"The two of you, please organize the forces and withdraw the common people."
Chengtong resisted the urge three times, calmed down and thought about it several times, and finally stood up and spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
This lady from the Cangxia Sect finally spoke! !
Zhou Shang and Deng Qiang looked at each other and immediately showed embarrassed expressions.
"However, these garrisons can be abandoned... Keeping these key locations is not conducive to our defense. After withdrawing the common people, I suggest that we follow what this senior just said and hold on to places like Loquat Mountain and Tongtian Fort."
Now the local monks looked at each other in confusion.
"...The enemy wants to attack us, so we should just give up this land." Cheng Tong continued, "These places have strong defenses and are suitable for garrisoning. The enemy will definitely not choose these places to attack. If they attack other places, we can concentrate our forces and consume some of their military strength! All other places can be given up!"
"Even if the enemy sends out a hundred squads, even if we only take down one or two, we'll still win!"
Chengtong has clear ideas and speaks with force.
The stakeholders involved in this plan will definitely have objections.
However, they didn't dare to speak.
The Aoki Legion was like a knife on their necks.
Although it was just a mechanical wooden man, the terrifying pressure it exerted was countless times more terrifying than that of the hidden ancestors they had seen!
Zhou Shang and Deng Qiang continued to hesitate and express their difficulties.
Cheng Tong was disgusted when she heard this and simply made the decision: "I will take full responsibility for the success or failure of this plan."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Shang and Deng Qiang immediately began to organize their actions with great righteousness. The monks also responded with the most positive attitude.
After all, this plan is really feasible.
…
Inside Tongtian Fortress.
Xiao Duan, who was sitting next to the bulletin board with his eyes closed meditating, suddenly heard the surroundings become noisy.
When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find that a new task had been posted on the bulletin board.
"Organize the evacuation of civilians. The reward for the foundation-building cultivators is 35 spirit stones."
In addition to the official rewards, the system also gives a reward of 200 contributions.
The reward for the mission is linked to the risk factor.
This mission shouldn't be dangerous.
