Particularly in the vast territories of Great Qin, spreading a message often took a considerable amount of time.
Take the current situation, for example. By the time Xing Yi reported the news, the event had already occurred several days prior. A message going back and forth could mean ten days to half a month had passed. If Baiyue City cannot withstand the Heaven Alliance, then even if I were to go there now, all I would see would be ruins.
"Support for Baiyue City is already too late. All Mountain-Breaking City can do now is make preparations in advance to avoid being attacked by the Heaven Alliance."
Xing Yi shook his head. He understood Shen Changqing's words. Supporting Baiyue City was simply not possible, unless they had received the news in advance, which would be another matter.
Subsequently, Xing Yi continued, "However, if we do nothing, it will surely tarnish our reputation. Perhaps we can send some forces there; who knows, they might be of some use."
