Chapter 628: Trouble

The auction sale was like a raging flame. Every piece of data kept exploding. From the emperors to the common citizens, they were all paying close attention to this matter, simply becoming their daily entertainment.

The data that came each day changed people’s view of this world.

The people of the continent finally knew.

Just how rich the rich people were.

Chu Tian didn’t pay close attention to this matter because he knew the result even if he used his butt to think. Since he already knew the result, why spend all day looking at it? Chu Tian only did two things each day. One was bringing Meng Yingying and the others around to taste all kinds of delicacies and the other was managing the West Sea City wedding.

But while it was peaceful in Miracle City.

City Lord Bo Sha suddenly teleported over.

After the Ten Thousand Flood Dragon Warring Kingdom had submitted to the Forest Alliance, West Sea City controlled half of their sea territories. Their influence in the Western Sea kept growing and their lives were becoming better with each passing day, so why did she come to Miracle City at this time?”

Chu Tian personally greeted her, “Why does City Lord Bo Sha have the free time to come to Miracle City for some tea? How is West Sea City’s preparations? My wedding is in just a few days.”

“Naturally West Sea City is prepared.” City Lord Bo Sha said to Chu Tian with a serious face, “But sir City Lord, I came to Miracle City this time mainly to report an important matter to you.”

Chu Tian was a bit surprised hearing this.

Although he didn’t know what it was, for City Lord Bo Sha to personally come, it wasn’t a small matter and it wouldn’t be anything good. Chu Tian was about to get married to Yingying, so there couldn’t be any chaos at this time.

Bo Sha gave a helpless sigh and said, “I’ve heard some news that the Big Dry Empire seems to be ready to cause trouble.”

Chu Tian’s brows instantly knitted.

This was the most awful matter. Everyone knew of the Big Dry Empire’s grudge with Miracle City, but since the Big Dry Empire’s troops had been defeated, they hadn’t shown any movements at all. However, with a force like the Big Dry Empire, how could they swallow this indignation. So, their retaliation was only a matter of time.

This period of inaction could be for them to prepare themselves.

Chu Tian immediately asked, “What useful information do you have?”

Bio Sha honestly said, “According to what I know, the Big Dry Empire has specially invited several large characters. Among them is the spirit beast Howling Sky Empire’s Howling Sky Emperor and the northern Highland Alliance’s Highland King.”

Chu Tian slightly knit his brows, “What are the backgrounds of these two fellows?”

“The Howling Sky Empire is the largest wolf spirit beast empire on the continent, it’s said that they have the strongest cavalry in the world. It’s a very militaristic empire that has fought with the Dark Night Forest, the Burning Heaven Empire, and even the Big Dry Empire with an advantage for their side, so they aren’t simple. As for the Highland Alliance, it is an alliance in the north that covers the snow region of the northern highlands. It’s the largest power on the continent, made up of humans, dwarves, giants, snow trolls, snow elves, and other races. Their alliance system is different from ours and they are an established empire level power.

These two empires seemed to dislike Miracle City.

When Chu Tian held the Miracle Summit, Meng Qingwu had sent people to invite them, but these arrogant fellows completely looked down at Miracle City. This was not strange at all. Whether it is the Howling Sky Empire or the Highland Alliance, they are all too far away from Miracle City, so Miracle Commerce’s influence on them was limited.

The Howling Sky Empire was a spirit beast empire. Spirit beasts are usually arrogant, barbaric, rude, and short sighted, they didn’t believe that Miracle Commerce could do anything for them.

As for the Highland Alliance, the situation was different. The Highland Alliance wasn’t like the Forest Alliance. In the Forest Alliance, each forest city was on the same level. For the Highland Alliance, it had ten times the area of the Forest Alliance and was made of several warring kingdoms, where whoever was the strongest was the boss.

The Highland Alliance was also relatively far away.

On one hand, they didn’t know anything about Miracle Commerce. On the other hand, their alliance structure was rather chaotic, with complicated relations between them, so there could be various aspects that obstructed Miracle City’s invitation.

Now the Big Dry Empire had pulled in these two powers, it was most likely they were going to move against Chu Tian’s wedding. After all, Chu Tian had caused the Big Dry Empire to lose a great deal of face, so the Big Dry Empire wants to let others know they can’t be walked over.

Chu Tian asked with a bit of a headache, “How many soldiers have they gathered?”

Bo Sha shook her head and said, “This is not known for now.”

The Big Dry Empire was planning an unexpected attack, so they definitely would have hidden their army. Even if Miracle City knew that they were hiding, their strength just wasn’t enough. They were on the defending side, so they couldn’t use any loopholes. How could they defend the attack of three different powers like this?

This news had come too suddenly.

There were only a few days before the wedding!

Chu Tian felt his matter was very important, so he called Meng Qingwu over to discuss it.

Meng Qingwu didn’t think that the Big Dry Empire would attack at this time. She pondered this for a bit before saying, “We have to use all of Miracle City’s resources to investigate this matter clearly. We have to at least know how many people, what kind of troops they are sending, and where they are attacking so we can properly defend against them.”

Chu Tian asked, “Do we have confidence in defending with our military forces?”

“With Miracle City’s position in the alliance, it is enough to summon the alliance to attack the enemy together. If it was against a single empire level power, this is not a problem. But there are three of them and their goal is very clear, which is to attack West Sea City. Even in a one on one situation, we can’t completely guarantee that we can defend West Sea City.”

West Sea City’s current defenses definitely could not compare to Miracle City’s.

After all, Miracle City already had a powerful weapon and shield system, as well as the Tree of Life and the Treants defending it. It would be very hard for Miracle City to defend against the attacks of the three powers, not to mention the weaker West Sea City.

The most important thing was.

This was not just a defensive battle!

If the marriage was in progress in West Sea City and the Big Dry Empire’s army suddenly attacked, regardless of if they could defend West Sea City or not, the wedding Miracle City had planned for so long couldn’t continue.

Meng Qingwu suggested, “Our influence has grown, it should be barely strong enough to influence the empire level powers. For the present, we should ask for help from the empires.”

This was a troublesome matter.

Of the six powers, the only one with a relatively good relationship with Miracle City was the Dark Night Forest and that was because the Dark Night Forest’s Moon God Palace was controlled by Chu Tian. As for the other forces, it was hard to guess. It was already good enough if they didn’t kick them when they were down, but would they send help?

“We have shared interests, they still need to rely on Miracle City to earn a large amount of money, so I think there shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll give it a try.”

Meng Qingwu knew this situation was urgent, so she had to try lobbying them.
