Liu Weihao had forgotten that what these poor people and slaves lack the most is money. As long as there’s money, they’d even sell their lives.

Qin Tian quickly gathered a slave army of thousands. Although they didn’t have martial arts skills, once they were in armor and stood on the city walls, they were enough to intimidate the Dragon Clan’s army.

Of course, Qin Tian’s key move was using the flying arrow messages to disrupt the attack plans of the East State’s surrender army, even encouraging them to rebel against the Dragon Clan once more.

That night, the soldiers shot thousands of fire arrows into the air, each tied with cloth strips.

At this moment, Liu Weihao and Qin Tian stood on the city wall, looking out at the Dragon Clan’s army a mile away from the city gate.

Liu Weihao was still worried: ”Qin Tian, do you think your strategy will succeed?”

Qin Tian looked into the distance and asked in return, ”Lord Liu, what do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Weihao smiled and said, ”If your plan succeeds, it would be a great achievement to repel over ten thousand Dragon Clan soldiers without losing a single soldier.”

Saying this, Liu Weihao looked at Qin Tian: ”However, whether it will succeed, I remain skeptical. After all, it’s too mysterious... can some cloth strips really frighten and cause the East State’s surrender army to rebel?”

”Even if it can’t, at least it can cause chaos within the Dragon Clan’s army. That’s undeniable, right?” Qin Tian said.

Liu Weihao nodded, ”Indeed, with a large-scale occurrence of morale-shaking cloth strips in the army, the Dragon Clan’s officers won’t remain indifferent. At the very least, they’ll doubt the loyalty of the East State’s surrender army.”

”So, while they are in chaos, we should quickly set up defensive structures and buy time for General Lei Shi’s reinforcements.”

Qin Tian said, ”Exchanging a few cloth strips for reinforcement time is a no-loss situation for us. Besides, I suspect that while the Dragon Clan officers fear a shake in morale, they might urge the East State’s surrender army to attack us as cannon fodder... haha, it will be interesting then.”

”How can their attack on us be interesting?” Liu Weihao asked.

Qin Tian said, ”If the East State’s surrender army truly harbors rebellious intentions against the Dragon Clan, then urging them to attack us gives them a chance to join us. At that time, our joint forces will surely win against the Dragon Clan.”

”Are you that sure? What if the East State’s surrender army is deceiving us under the Dragon Clan officers’ command and is feigning surrender?”

”That won’t happen. They are East State people, just like us. Why should we fight each other and let the Dragon Clan benefit? It doesn’t make sense.”

”I’m saying, what if?”

Liu Weihao turned his head to look at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian smiled faintly, his eyes squinting slightly as he gazed into the night, ”If... such an impossibility happens, then we deserve to die.”

Liu Weihao: ”...”

...

Facts proved Liu Weihao’s worries were unnecessary.

Less than two hours after the cloth-wrapped fire arrows were shot at the Dragon Clan’s army, chaos erupted on their side.

At this moment, Qin Tian and Liu Weihao were setting up the inner city’s defenses. Hearing about the chaos in the Dragon Clan’s army, they hurried to the city wall to observe.

Both saw, in the distant lights, bustling activity and torches illuminating the scene, with large groups moving within the army, as some shouted and others yelled.

”Haha, it’s effective already, so quickly?”

Liu Weihao, watching the chaotic scene in the distance, became somewhat excited, saying, ”It seems I overestimated the Dragon Clan army’s management capabilities.”

Qin Tian said coolly, ”It’s not about their management capabilities. It’s that the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Dragon Clan are inherently opposing forces, and the Dragon Clan and our Human Clan are two rival races. Although there are people from opposing sides serving each other, generally, they look down on and discriminate against each other.”

”I’ve precisely targeted this point. Lord Liu, think about it, what could the East State surrender army do after joining the Dragon Clan? They could never truly integrate into the Dragon Clan’s army and would always serve as cannon fodder against their own kind. Moreover, their families remain in the East Capital City, so they aren’t sincerely surrendering.”

”Amazing! Qin Tian, you’re truly a genius!”

Hearing Qin Tian’s analysis, Liu Weihao excitedly gave him a thumbs up, ”Your analysis of human nature is spot on. Haha, with this, the Dragon Clan’s army will surely fall into chaos.”

Qin Tian remained cautious, saying, ”We’ll see. It may not cause huge chaos, but at least, for the time being, they won’t attack us. We must quickly prepare our defenses, just in case they do attack, so we can resist. After all, this concerns our lives.”

The next day, the Dragon Clan’s army voluntarily withdrew three kilometers, still surrounding Sea City but seemingly wary of it, especially of its fire arrows with cloth strips.

The Dragon Clan’s army retreated out of the fire arrow’s range.

Two quiet days passed like this.

At this point, Liu Weihao was overjoyed, saying, ”The Dragon Clan army hasn’t made a move for two days, Qin Tian, you’re truly foresighted. It looks like they’re too busy with their own issues and won’t attack again, right?”

”Not necessarily.”

Now that the Dragon Clan’s army had retreated farther, Qin Tian couldn’t quite grasp the enemy’s intentions.

Liu Weihao confidently said, ”Don’t worry, in just one more day, General Lei Shi’s reinforcements should arrive, reportedly numbering thirty thousand men. By then, if the Dragon Clan army hasn’t withdrawn, we can attack them from both sides, and victory is assured!”

Qin Tian shook his head, ”If the Dragon Clan army plans to attack, they won’t wait for General Lei Shi to arrive; they’ll attack within today.”

”No way...” Liu Weihao was taken aback.

”Report! Lord Liu, the Dragon Clan’s army is making a move, and the City Lord requests your presence for a conference!”

Before Liu Weihao could react, a soldier hastily reported.

”Come with me.”

Liu Weihao nodded and insisted on Qin Tian accompanying him.

Unquestionably, Qin Tian had become Liu Weihao’s confidant, and Liu Weihao relied heavily on him.

Liu Weihao, Qin Tian, and the Sea City Lord climbed the city wall to observe. At this moment, the ground in the distance trembled slightly, dust billowed up, indicating the Dragon Clan army was indeed preparing to attack!

”Damn it, they’re really attacking!”

Liu Weihao slapped his thigh in frustration, eyeing Qin Tian: ”Qin Tian, what should we do now?”

Qin Tian closely observed the distance, thought for a moment, then said, ”Let’s wait until they get closer so I can see if the East State surrender troops are leading. City Lord, please arrange our defenses immediately and prepare the archers on the walls.”

”Alright.”

The City Lord began organizing people to prepare to shoot arrows while watching out for the Dragon Clan’s flying beast soldiers approaching from the sky.

A few minutes later, as the vanguard of the Dragon Clan’s army was about a kilometer away from Sea City, Qin Tian saw this, and his face lit up with joy, ”It’s the East State surrender troops leading the charge! We have the chance for a complete victory!”
