The three City Lords began communicating secretly, each with their own stance on this matter.
"Although the Youzhou City Lord has some means, hastily driving away those Demon Chief bandits might be somewhat exaggerated, don't you think?"
"Humph, whether exaggerated or not, if we could share in the bounty, why not? After all, Youzhou City's development has always been beneath us. If he doesn't succeed, it doesn't affect us in the slightest."
"Alright! Let's first observe what tactics the Youzhou City Lord has. If there's any movement, what's the harm in removing one City Lord among us three?"
The three exchanged a secret smile, already forming a plan in their hearts.
Their powers are evenly matched, which is why their development is balanced.
Youzhou City being slightly weaker implies they don't want Youzhou City to take part.
Even if the Youzhou City Lord could truly achieve this, they would certainly find a way to exploit its benefits.
