Wan Fenglin never thought that it was because of his "selfishness" that he finally caused the ground

The strength of the alliance is second only to the passive resistance of the four major sects of Wan Fenglin. In particular, what Wan Fenglin didn't expect was that the four major sects of the Earth Alliance also took advantage of this opportunity to secretly set up a small offensive and defensive alliance after leaving the Earth Alliance and Wan Fenglin. The alliance between the Feather God Sect and the Iron Sword Sect is called the "Iron Feather Alliance", and the alliance between the Lingyun Hall and the Flower Sect is called the "Cloud Flower Alliance".

These two small alliances have a great tendency to huddle together for warmth, because their respective Yushen Sect's Bozhou Domain and Tiejianmen's Luzhou Domain are bordered, and Lingyun Palace's Qizhou Domain and Huazong's Shengzhou Domain are bordered. The "Iron Feather Alliance" and the "Yunhua Alliance" privately agreed on the strategy of "no internal fighting, advancing and retreating together", especially the abolition of the state border garrisons against each other between the two major sects, opening up the channels for personnel and trade exchanges, and promoting the development of state economic integration. In addition, if any sect between the two major sects encounters an attack from the other sect, the other will do whatever it takes to help the other sect with the strength of its own sect. Such a small alliance between the two sects is more effective than the so-called alliance of the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance.

Especially the Feather God Sect and the Iron Sword Sect, although these two major sects are the existence of the Southern Empire second only to Wanfeng Forest in strength, but in these two major sects, the entire eastern territory of the Feather God Sect borders the Suizhou domain and the Linzhou domain of Wanfeng Forest, and the north is bordered by the Yingzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect, and the Yingzhou domain has been the "beacon fire of right and wrong" of the empire for generations. The northern part of the state is often disturbed by wars, and the development is not as stable as the central and southern parts of the state, so the state capitals of the two states are located in the south of the state.

According to Wan Fenglin's grand plan to annex the other six major sects of the Earth Alliance and unify the Southern Empire in one fell swoop, Wan Fenglin's first battle must be to attack westward and occupy the Suizhou domain of the Yushen Sect.

Therefore, until the formation of the Earth Alliance, the Feather God Sect was always on the defence of Wanfeng Forest, and even the hostility of the Feather God Sect towards Wanfeng Forest far exceeded that of the Tianyu Sect, and even most of the military strength of the sect was placed in the eastern region of the Bozhou Domain, especially the various towns and bayonets bordering the Wanfeng Lin Prefecture Domain, and the military strength of the Tianyu Sect to the north was much less.

If Wan Feng Lin enters the west and occupies the Feather God Sect, the second state to be captured is the Luzhou domain of the Iron Sword Gate. Therefore, the Iron Sword Sect and the Feather God Sect have common strategic interests, one is to block the westward advance of Wanfeng Forest to the east, and to block the southward movement of the Heavenly Feather Sect to the north. Since they have a common purpose, and then look at the strength of these two major sects, because the area of the state under their jurisdiction is about the same, the number of towns and cities in the state is also about the same, neither the Feather God Sect nor the Iron Sword Sect have the ability to annex each other, so there is no too much mutual suspicion and worry, this is the reason why the "Iron Feather Alliance" can be established very smoothly.

The same situation appeared in the Lingyun Hall and the Flower Sect, of which the Lingyun Palace's sphere of influence is mainly concentrated in the northwest of the empire, and the strength of the Flower Sect is mainly concentrated in the southwest of the empire, and in general, it is classified as belonging to the western region of the empire. However, these two major sects are bordered by the Yunzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect, especially the Qizhou domain of the Lingyun Palace, which is actually bordered by the Yunzhou domain and the Dingzhou domain of the Tianyu Sect.

Although it is located on the edge of the empire, due to the existence of a common danger factor, the Tianyu Sect, it is also important to stay warm together. Because whether it is the Lingyun Palace, which ranks fourth in the strength of the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance, or the Flower Sect, which ranks fifth, if he is a sect fighting alone, no matter how he "struggles", he will definitely not be the opponent of the Tianyu Sect, the largest sect in the empire, and the two together still have the courage to fight!

In addition, although the Earth Alliance has been established, the three most powerful sects of the Earth Alliance, Wanfeng Lin, Yushen Sect, and Iron Sword Sect, all belong to the southern region of the empire, and their customs and habits are roughly the same. Although the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance are now talking about not attacking each other and not occupying each other's spheres of influence. But the establishment of alliances is fragile, and only the so-called "interests" can truly unite everyone. Don't look at it now, under the unified coordination of Wan Fenglin, the seven major sects of the Southern Empire have established an earth alliance and signed an offensive and defensive alliance, but now it is because there is an "enemy" established by Wan Fenglin - Tianyu Sect.

And if the Tianyu Sect does not exist or the Earth Alliance wins in the battle for the Ying Zhou Domain, then the Ying Zhou Domain will fall into the hands of the Earth Alliance. No, it should have fallen into the hands of Wan Fenglin. So will there still be any meaning for the Earth Alliance Alliance at that time? Will Wan Fenglin take advantage of the fact that the main military strength of the six major sects of the Earth Alliance has been transferred to the front line of the Yingzhou Domain, and after occupying the Yingzhou Domain, the spearhead of the attack will be directly aimed at the six major sects of the Earth Alliance.

Wan Fenglin was originally untrustworthy, this was the consensus of several other major sects of the Earth Alliance except for the Antarctic Gate.

Wan Fenglin, who was preparing to start a battle with the defenders of Yingqing City of the Heavenly Feather Sect on the front line, did not expect such a situation at all.

Wan Fenglin originally thought that the establishment of the Earth Alliance could connect the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance into one and tie them to the chariot of the Tianyu Sect to advance and retreat together.

The main purpose is to use the power of the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance to seize the Yingzhou domain for Wan Fenglin. Wan Fenglin thought that he could use the strength of the Feather God Sect, the Iron Sword Gate, the Lingyun Palace, and the Flower Sect to build a "defense line" in the north and west of the Yingzhou Domain, and contain the military strength of the Heavenly Alliance to "go south" and "advance eastward", so that he could free up his hands and use all his military strength to attack Yingqing City, so that he could have the greatest chance of winning the Yingzhou Domain.

And Wan Fenglin thought more than that, after taking the Yingzhou domain into his own hands. Wan Fenglin can connect the three major states of Linzhou, Suizhou, and Yingzhou into a line, then the central and southern parts of the entire empire belong to his own sphere of influence, and he has become the first major sect with the three major states in one fell swoop.

Especially after obtaining the Yingzhou domain, he mastered the throat of the north-south passage of the empire, and to the north, he could seize the rich Jingzhou domain and Zhongzhou region with one horse. Because he has been located in the Southern Empire for a long time, but compared with the rich Heavenly Sage Great Plains, Wan Fenglin really looks down on the two major states he already has, and the states of other sects in the Earth Alliance actually can't look down on Wan Fenglin, what he wants is still the Jingzhou domain and the Zhongzhou domain. Only by winning these two major states and taking the Ying Prefecture as the fulcrum, can we achieve "flying with both wings", the north facing west can continue to win the state territory of the Heavenly Alliance, and the south facing west can win the remaining state regions of the Earth Alliance.
