Zhao Hai's order caused the entire army to boil up. The ordinary soldiers couldn't wait any longer, they already wanted to attack. At this time, these ordinary soldiers hated the Sacred Institute to death. Because of this, Zhao Hai's order came at the right time.
Actually, one couldn't blame the ordinary soldiers for being anxious. Many of them had family members who were still living in the city-states controlled by the Sacred Institute. Once they thought about how their family members were living under the Sacred Institute's control, they couldn't calm down. Because of this, they wanted to attack as soon as possible.
However, Zhao Hai suddenly ordered them to stop yesterday. This made them very confused. In the end, they couldn't do anything about it. Military orders were like mountains, they understood this principle. Now that Zhao Hai was finally going to attack, they were naturally very happy.
It was precisely because of this that they packed up very quickly the next day. Their marching speed was also very fast. Almost all the cities they passed by were taken down in one go. There was no other way, the soldiers were like crazy, attacking without any regard for their own lives. Any normal person wouldn't be able to fight against a lunatic. Not to mention the people under the Sacred Institute's control, they didn't want to fight for the Sacred Institute.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about this. He was in command of the army while also paying attention to the rear. Zhao Hai was very clear that they couldn't be careless at this time. Although the Sacred Institute didn't have an ordinary army, they still had experts. There were a lot of Breaking River Experts in the Sacred Institute. If the Sacred Institute sent these Breaking River Experts to the rear, then it would be very troublesome.
Just like what Zhao Hai and the others said, the current situation of the Holy Court wasn't very good. They had almost no ordinary soldiers to use. With the surrender of the million strong army, the Holy Court had no one to use. Even if they wanted to go out and capture people, they wouldn't be able to do so. This was because a lot of the ordinary people under their rule had run to the mountains. They would rather eat wild vegetables than come out. This made it impossible for the Holy Court to capture people.
At this time, the consequences of the Sacred Institute's previous actions were beginning to show. Not only did they have no source of soldiers, they also had problems with their supplies. More and more people ran into the mountains and hid there. They would rather starve to death than come out. The food they could harvest was getting less and less. The forging of weapons was also a problem. The source of iron was also a problem. Salt was also a problem. Even clothes were a problem.
It wasn't until now that the people of the Sacred Institute understood that they wouldn't be able to survive without the ordinary people. In this case, they could only use their last resort. They gathered all the people who haven't run away and then sent troops to watch over them. At the same time, the methods they used to deal with the ordinary people became even more cruel.
However, doing this also sped up their destruction. Zhao Hai's advance was very fast. Before the Sacred Institute had time to react, they had already lost ten city-states. At this time, the Sacred Institute only had seven city-states left. And these seven city-states were all around the Sacred Institute's mountain range. It can be said that these city-states were the last line of defense for the Sacred Mountain.
At this time, the Sacred Institute was also anxious. But what made them even more anxious was that they found out that something had happened to the Secret Realm. They couldn't enter the Secret Realm.
One couldn't blame the Sacred Institute for being slow. In the past, they were only in contact with the Secret Realm every few days. Even if Zhao Hai swallowed five more city-states, they were still in the Sacred Institute. They didn't think that they would immediately transfer everyone to the Secret Realm.
But now that they only had a few city-states left, they couldn't sit still. At the same time, they also understood that if they didn't transfer people to the Secret Realm, then they would be in trouble. In this case, they wanted to transfer people to the Secret Realm. But when they were about to do so, they suddenly discovered that they couldn't enter the Secret Realm. The passage to the Secret Realm was blocked by a layer of energy. They couldn't enter.
This discovery made the people of the Sacred Court startled. They immediately reported this to the dean. The dean and the patriarchs of the clans of the Sacred Court went to the passage. The dean stood in the passage and coldly looked at the energy shield. Then he said, "Who can tell me what's going on? Why is there a shield here? If I'm not wrong, this shield should be a formation made by Zhao Hai. Why did it appear here? "
Nobody spoke. Everyone looked at the transparent shield with an ashen expression. After some time, Teacher Wu said, "Dean, do you think this matter has something to do with Li Tang?"
When the dean heard Teacher Wu, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Teacher Wu and said, "Li Tang? What does this have to do with Li Tang? "
Teacher Wu replied, "Li Tang went to the Lost Soul City. Although he came back and said that his negotiations with Zhao Hai fell apart, nobody knows what they talked about. What if he didn't talk to Zhao Hai and was talking about cooperation? For the people in the secret plane, it doesn't matter who they cooperate with. What if they really want to cooperate with Zhao Hai and sell us out? "
When the dean heard Teacher Wu, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he said, "Li Tang wants to cooperate with Zhao Hai? How is that possible? Don't forget, when Li Tang went to look for Zhao Hai, we had an overwhelming advantage over Zhao Hai. How could he cooperate with Zhao Hai? Unless there's something wrong with his head, it's impossible. "
Teacher Wu also felt that it was impossible. But he still frowned and said, "But what's going on? This passageway is inside our Holy Academy, how could it be sealed by a barrier array? This must be done by someone inside. Who could it be? "
The dean thought for a moment before his eyes flashed with a cold light. Then he said, "I remember two people. These two have also been in contact with Zhao Hai. They're the two people from the Secret Realm who always come out to do things. I think they're called Eldest Brother Hou and Second Brother Hou?"
Teacher Wu stared, then he immediately nodded and said, "It's indeed the two of them. They were the ones who brought the Crane Grasses into the Secret Realm. They were also the ones who told Zhao Hai about the death of the Crane Grasses. After that, they came in contact with Zhao Hai several times. If it's really them, then it's possible."
The Dean nodded, then he said, "If it's really the two of them, then this matter won't be difficult. Sooner or later, the people inside will find out that something is wrong. When that time comes, they can destroy the formation from the inside. We don't need to worry too much. However, we can't just sit there and wait. Send some people to attack the formation. As long as the formation is attacked for a long time, it will eventually be destroyed. Moreover, if we attack from the outside, the people inside will know about it. You can arrange it for us."
Teacher Wu nodded, then he immediately went to make arrangements. The dean led the group back to the hall. After everyone sat down, the dean looked at them and said, "Everyone, I won't be polite. We all know about the current situation of the Sacred Institute. What do you think we should do?"
Everyone turned silent. Naturally, they knew about the current situation of the Sacred Institute. Because of this, they didn't know what to say. This was because the current situation of the Sacred Institute was too troublesome.
After some time, a family member said, "We can't trust the civilians of the city-states. When Zhao Hai's army arrives, I'm afraid that they would immediately surrender. For us, this would only do more harm than good. Although we still control the seven city-states, it's impossible to rely on them to block their attack. We should give up on the seven city-states, we shouldn't waste our energy there. What we should do now is to gather the provisions of the city-states on the mountain as well as the people who are loyal to the Sacred Institute. Then we should take out all the good things of the Sacred Institute and use the mountain as a foundation to form a defensive circle to block Zhao Hai's attack."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. They might have some conflicts in the past, but at this time, it didn't matter. Compared to the safety of the Sacred Institute, the conflicts between them were nothing.
These people were also smart. They knew that the reason why they could live their current lives and have today's status was all because of the existence of the Sacred Institute. If the Sacred Institute was gone, then everything they had would be gone.
Because of this, the people of the Sacred Institute were now united. They had no choice but to unite. If they didn't, then they would be finished.
The dean nodded, then he said, "The current population of the Sacred Institute has exceeded a hundred thousand. And among these hundred thousand people, we can gather at least ten thousand soldiers. We also have more than fifty Breaking River experts, two thousand Sky Dance experts, and ten thousand Warriors. It's not impossible to defend the Sacred Institute Mountain. Our mountain is a very dangerous place, it's impossible for the army to come in. As long as we can defend the main road, then we don't need to worry about anything."
Everyone nodded. The Sacred Mountain was very dangerous. It was a place that was easy to defend but hard to attack. The road leading to the mountain was generally small. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that one man can hold the pass against ten thousand. Therefore, although they were few in number, it wasn't impossible to defend the Sacred Institute Mountain.
The Dean looked at the crowd and said, "Our Sacred Courtyard has accumulated countless good things over the years. Now it's time to take them out. Tomorrow, open the warehouse and take everything out. I heard that Liu Kaide used the shadow cannon to make Zhao suffer a loss. Our Sacred Courtyard still has a lot of good things. Take them out and use them. Also, bring the food that we brought to the mountain. Capture some people from the mountain and have them plant some food. We also need to produce our own food. We can't let Zhao Hai be trapped here. I want to see if Zhao Hai has the ability to destroy our Sacred Courtyard."
