It was an undeniable fact that the overall strength of the China Server Alliance's main force far surpassed that of Misty Pavilion. After all, the main force consisted of the vast majority of guilds from the China Server as well as Major Servers. Naturally, when the alliance's main force attacked an Imperial City, it would draw a large number of elites from the Japanese Server Alliance—far more than Misty Pavilion encountered when attacking cities. This meant they were drawing away a great deal of enemy combat power. The alliance's main force attracted more enemies not only because it was stronger overall, but more importantly because it had far more players. Upon seeing so many elites, the Japanese Server Alliance would also send a large number of elites to stop them.
If the China Server Alliance's main force did not participate in the siege, Misty Pavilion's people would naturally face greater and more numerous obstacles when attacking cities. Not only would their consumption be much greater, but their casualties would also increase considerably. Dongfang Mingxing and the others might very well refrain from commanding the alliance's main force to attack cities simultaneously just to see that happen.
As Ye Luo had said, most of the Japanese Server Alliance's Imperial Cities that remained intact had already been destroyed before. Some had even been destroyed two or three times. Destroying them again would yield half the rewards, or even less than one-eighth of the full reward. Coupled with increased consumption and casualties, Misty Pavilion might very well find itself spending more than it earned in the upcoming sieges. This was precisely the situation Dongfang Mingxing and the others would be happy to see. In other words, they might choose to temporarily "rest" while Misty Pavilion attacked Imperial Cities.
