Chapter 977 - 676: Overthrowing the Rules, Ascending to the Skies in One Step
As the Youzhou City Lord uttered these words, the three indeed found themselves in a difficult situation.
The Tianyang City Lord chuckled: "The Youzhou City Lord talks about these matters too early, don’t you think? After all, these bandits, though formidable, aren’t irreplaceable by you, are they?"
The Youzhou City Lord squints: "If I am not mistaken, Tianyang City Lord, aren’t these bandits from your Tianyang City’s Dongwen Mountain?"
The Tianyang City Lord seemed slightly displeased: "And what if they are?"
The Puppet City Lord spoke coldly: "If indeed they originate within the scope of Tianyang City Lord’s domain, yet demand my Youzhou City to dispatch troops to drive them away, shouldn’t I at least get a share of the spoils? Is this logical in the world?"
The Tianyang City Lord’s face changed, apparently ready to break the pot: "What is your Youzhou City worth, hoping to share our gains? Do you really think I can’t suppress those little demons of Dongwen Mountain?"
Actually, before saying this, the Tianyang City Lord calculated whether sending troops to suppress these Demon Chiefs or the benefits of mining the Spirit Mine would be more advantageous to him?
If sending troops requires vast resources, why not let the Youzhou City Lord proceed?
But calculating now, both sides’ costs almost match.
Moreover, even if he agreed with the Youzhou City Lord, would the other two agree?
Under such circumstances, the Youzhou City Lord should be excluded from the affair.
