Replenish slaves, hand them over to craftsmen, replant crops in the fields outside the city, rest weapons and equipment, and repair the ruined walls. The Seven Cities Alliance www.biquge.info tried to prop up the city of Lisos and let it act as a shield and a warning bell, providing a buffer for the other alliance city-states.

Lu Bin had just bought a new card, and the assassin who was shot through the arm by a dragon's tooth arrow in Lisos City spent half of his life force just to shoot the deadly arrow of the God Butcher.

It's a pity that Lu Bin was only slightly injured, and in turn cleaned up the mastermind behind the scenes, and picked up a human hero who was proficient in sniping and long-range shooting.

"A heroic minion characterized by ranged attacks and stealth, and hidden talents are sacrifices. Well, there's one more chance to use it, and I won't allow it, otherwise he'll become a waste. There should still be room for growth, after all, with thin divine blood. The gods of the mountains, forests and rivers are the slaves of Dionysus the binge-drinking. Tsk, Lisos fights, the water inside is very deep!"

Lu Bin tamed the Assassin Calisto once and for all, threw him into the rebuilt city of Lisos, and mixed with the temple warriors who had lost the favor of the gods, and they prepared to convert, only to find that no gods were willing to enter the city.

The core high-ranking of the Seven Cities Alliance, the nobles of the remnants of Thebais, once secretly traveled to Lake Ohrid, hoping to make a pilgrimage to the original founders of Cadmus and Harmonia, hoping to take revenge with the power of the dragon.

As a result, the secret messenger saw a stone city in the distance, and the heads and wreckage of two giant dragons were placed in front of the statue of the giant bird. As for the natives who worship dragons, they also abandon their past ignorance and grow into qualified warriors through rigorous training.

When the core high-level of the Seven Cities Alliance learned of this, they were shocked and speechless, losing the dragon that Cadmus and Harmonia had turned into was not hesitant to cut off the last bond that was maintained. In addition, the gods of the Holy Mountain seem to have the intention of abandoning the alliance, and there is not a single temple warrior in Lisos City, although I don't know what the reason is, but all the far-sighted people can vaguely hear the death knell of the end of the world.

Now that he knows that he can't win, seeking a decent step down has become the most concerned thing for the top management of the Seven Cities Alliance. The consensus of the core is to bargain at the negotiating table while there are still chips to bargain and sell themselves at a good price.

The so-called Thebai remnants, the seven-city alliance that they painstakingly established, is not an immutable rule, and can become an eight-city alliance at any time. As long as you can keep your position, selling and trading is not a difficult choice for those in power.

It wasn't until the heroic entourage in the middle of his post sent back the relevant information that Lu Bin understood why the coalition forces of the Seven Cities Alliance didn't attack when he was building a large number of buildings.

"If you can't defeat your enemy, you can turn him into a partner. The person who came up with this method should be awarded a one-ton medal. ”

Lu Bin gladly accepted the surrender of the Seven Cities Alliance, but the other party's high-level was ready to hold a ceremony in Lisos City, but Lu Bin insisted on being in Riptide City, in his own territory, not because he was worried that the other party would make a move, but because he was ready to let the leader of the Seven Cities Alliance see the prestige of his professional warriors.

The result of not giving in to each other was that the Seven Cities Alliance took the initiative to make concessions, and they couldn't hold on, after all, Lu Bin's power was increasing day by day. Not to mention that Riptide City is located in the upper reaches of the Elidanus River, occupying such favorable terrain that if the river is dammed or even drained, the harvest of the Seven Cities Alliance will be seriously affected.

The high-level leaders of Lisos City were once subdued by Lu Bin and knelt down to be a minister, and now it is not a shame to kneel again. When the first traitor appeared, the Seven Cities Alliance, which was linked by blood, collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The alliance was held as scheduled, and when the remnants of Thebais, who are now at the core of the high-ups, came to Riptide City and saw the legendary Titan-like quarry colossus and the walking treemen, their faces became very ugly, and they were glad that it was not too late for them to choose to surrender with dignity.

Professional soldiers, mainly slaves and freedmen, have long been transformed by seeing blood on the battlefield and having enough food to keep up with physical consumption. When they appeared in front of the high-level leaders of Zhucheng, they really calmed down many people who knew or didn't know.

Riptide City has a total of 4,000 people, but it supports 500 professional warriors who are out of production and full-time combat. With such an efficient mobilization ability, it is impossible to understand the roots of the strength of the emerging city-state just by watching "performances" such as spear assassination training and fixed-target spear throwing.

It's a pity that the Quarry Colossus and the War Tree Man can't be copied by the Seven Cities Alliance at all, and there is no way to obtain them. They could only watch as Riptide City's strength continued to improve, and they couldn't do anything.

Some people want to get the know-how, some people are ready to plant people to spy on information, and some even try to mistreat and disrupt the daily production of Riptide City.

It's a pity that their small movements are all within Lu Bin's field of vision, and the dragon tooth soldiers, whose strength is comparable to that of heroes, have experienced the baptism of war, compared with when they were just born, they are simply different people. With just one move, all the people who are in the way of the eyes are arrested, and the nails that have been buried are uprooted.

During the alliance, no one was willing to take responsibility, Lu Bin couldn't help but shake his head, and then stretched out his right hand, put his five fingers together as a knife, and gently cut it off.

Immediately afterwards, the high-level leaders of the Seven Cities Alliance saw a sinister smile on the faces of the dragon tooth soldiers, and killed the prey in their hands on the spot.

Lu Bin noticed that their faces had turned pale, obviously frightened by such a bloody scene, and he felt both happy and a little disappointed at the same time.

"After a long and comfortable life, even the descendants of heroes, the martial arts flowing in their blood, were corrupted by food and wine. Maybe there are a few old foxes whose nose hair has been cultivated into white, but personal strategy can't change the absolute difference in strength. A lion leads a herd of sheep and can go south to defeat a pack of wolves,"

The strong smell of blood permeated the surroundings, and Lu Bin showed a faint smile: "How can the Huimeng not have a blood sacrifice? Since these pests are not claimed, they are regarded as sacrifices to the mother-like earth." Do you have any comments?"

The core high-level leaders of Zhucheng hurriedly shook their heads, saying that they had no opinions, but in the next negotiations, their faces were not good-looking.

Lu Bin decided to promote the belief of Torrent City in the future Eight Cities Alliance, which is different from the past tradition, only citizens can obtain divine protection, and they will not fall into the dark and lightless underworld to suffer after death. Consisting of two large classes, the freemen and the slaves, the fate of the souls after death is determined by the devotion of the faith, rather than by the ties of blood.

"I will not promote it among the citizens of the inner cities of Zhucheng to allow you to continue to believe in the patron saints of the city-states in the past, and I believe that few people should oppose it. ”

The belief of the new gods was only promoted among the lowly slaves and the freedmen living in the guest house, and after receiving the relevant guarantees, the core high-level of the Seven Cities Alliance was very satisfied with such reasonable terms of exchange.

They all knew very well in their hearts that the god believed in by the newly rising city-state was simply the city lord himself who participated in the alliance. It's just that it can make the long-range shooter pause, and even remove the protection of the city of Lisos, even the new gods are eligible to accept the faith.

Later, the eight lords of the Guild had a full exchange of views on the flow of rivers, the rules of commerce and trade, and the doctrine of grain.

Most of the time, it is Lu Bin who throws out a condition, waits for others to bargain, and after all parties compromise, he makes a decision.

The dominance of the Eight-City Alliance gradually fell into the hands of Lu Bin, after all, this was an asymmetrical negotiation. In this era when strength is better than strategy, and people with big fists are the most useful to speak, Lu Bin can be said to be like a fish in water.

Although he knew that the so-called Eight-City Alliance was full of internal contradictions, and had not been baptized by war, many vines with deep roots were still wrapped around these big trees.

As long as there is a legal official name and an access permit to promote the faith, Lu Bin can let go of the old Seven Cities Alliance.

"Those who are in a position must take a long-term view. Illyria is still relatively small, and we all know that the outside world is very vast, and instead of consuming strength internally, it is better to be consistent with the sword and establish an indefatigable deed, so that our name is recorded in epic legends. Isn't that a better option?"

The final concluding remarks, Lu Bin's heartfelt words, made all the allies present let go of their worries. After seeing the strength of the dragon's tooth soldiers, the remnants of Thebai remembered a lot of past events, all of which were related to Cadmus, the founder of the City of Hundred Gates.
