If we give up, naturally everything will become much easier.
But if we continue to be at an impasse with Qingcheng Prefecture...
Then everything will become increasingly complicated.
First, massing a large army will be essential.
Currently, Qingcheng Prefecture is still under Feng Wuyi’s control.
If we don’t stockpile a formidable force there.
Do you believe that within minutes, Qingcheng Prefecture could retake that half of the county?
And then they will thoroughly close the gate of that entire prefecture.
But if we are to amass a large army, food, medicinal herbs, and various supplies.
This also requires massive shipments from the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Only then can we maintain the combat effectiveness of the massive army stationed at the border of Qingcheng Prefecture.
An overly long supply line will make it extraordinarily difficult for the Luo Family to replenish supplies.
If the Luo Family really does this.
Then the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture will be like a person trapped in a marsh.
At first, it might not seem too bad.
The Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture will be continuously dragged down by that mere half-county’s territory.
In such a case, it truly seems to be more trouble than it’s worth.
"If we choose to give up, we’ll lose nothing but that half-county’s land, but if we choose to fight Qingcheng Prefecture to the end..."
"The cost will be more than just that half-county’s land."
After a long period of contemplation, Lu Jun finally gave such a response.
"You mean, the costs outweigh the benefits?"
Sitting in the main seat, Luo Ping murmured to himself and then somewhat helplessly nodded.
There was no problem with what Lu Jun said.
His hesitation was primarily because it had not been easy for the Luo Family to breach the gates of Qingcheng Prefecture.
Now, for various reasons.
They must choose to abandon that half-county at the border of Qingcheng Prefecture.
This is somewhat regrettable.
Regrettably, people must face reality.
Moreover, Luo Ping is the head of the Luo Family.
He naturally must be responsible for his family.
He cannot allow the family to suffer losses because of his momentary whims.
After making the decision.
Luo Ping sent out the order to retreat to Luo Yong, who was in Qingcheng Prefecture.
Qingcheng Prefecture, the borderlands.
Within the half-county seized by the Luo Family.
Luo Yong, the commander of a major division of the Luo Family’s forces.
Was silently looking at the letter that had been sent from the Luo Family.
"They want me to give up?"
As he read the letter, Luo Yong could not help but sigh softly.
A look of helplessness appeared on his face.
The letter clearly explained the reasons for giving up.
As the commander, Luo Yong naturally faced a choice in his heart.
But after fighting for so long.
Having finally penetrated into Qingcheng Prefecture. Find adventures on empire
Prized open the gates.
And taken that half-county’s land.
To just give it up now, indeed, he found it hard to reconcile.
"Could it be that the contents of the letter are ordering you to withdraw your troops?"
Inside the Commander’s Tent.
The big charlatan, Tang Jian, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a White Feather Fan.
Sitting by the stove, warming himself, and silently waving the feather fan, suddenly asked.
Luo Yong narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked leisurely at Tang Jian, who was acting not like someone in battle, but as if he was out on a leisure trip.
"An overextended front, difficult resupply."
"Moreover, with this half-county backed by the entire Qingcheng Prefecture, continuing to contend with it would require a massive investment of manpower and resources."
"If one calculates it carefully, it really isn’t worth it."
"So, retreating is only natural."
Hearing this, Luo Yong fell silent.
But Tang Jian did make some sense.
The situation in Qingcheng Prefecture was like a morass.
At first, you might not feel it.
But once you are deeply mired, escaping becomes difficult.
In the tent, just as Luo Yong was sinking into contemplation.
Luo Qingshan, wearing a Yellow Monk Robe and wearing Yellow Buddhist Beads on his wrist.
Having remained silent thus far, stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something.
But before he could speak.
He was directly interrupted by Luo Yong.
"I know what you want to do, but there’s no need..."
Luo Yong looked at Luo Qingshan with a complex expression.
Qingcheng Prefecture was not a pushover that could be oppressed at will.
Previously, at the border of Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Because it was home turf for the Luo Family.
And since Qingcheng Prefecture had only one Organ Refinement Late Stage as their top strength.
Resolving the million-armored elite wasn’t difficult.
But now, here on the grounds of Qingcheng Prefecture.
If they wanted to take this vast prefecture in the same way, it was clearly unrealistic.
You must understand, within the Da Feng Dynasty.
Organ Refinement wasn’t invincible.
Even Blood Cultivation wasn’t among the very top cultivators.
Only those whose cultivation had reached Mortal Transcendence Realm above Blood Cultivation could be called the pinnacle forces within the Da Feng Dynasty.
And above Mortal Transcendence, the Immortal Realm, could be deemed invincible within the Da Feng Dynasty.
As soon as Luo Yong’s retreat order was conveyed.
The Luo Family’s tens of thousands of armored elites at the border of Qingcheng Prefecture.
Quietly left the borderlands and headed towards Luo Mountain Prefecture.
And in Qingcheng Prefecture, three days after the Luo Family’s forces left.
They cautiously reclaimed the lost half-county.
And also tightly closed the gates that the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture had forced open.
