After witnessing the Northern Region retreat overnight, Bu Wendong was probably the happiest and most excited.
In the battle of the Central Mountain Range, it was because of him that the Central Mountain Range had fallen.
Even with the one-eyed man as a scapegoat, he was still in a constant state of anxiety, worried that Assassin Number One would punish him.
Now that the Northern Region army had retreated without attacking and had given them the Central Mountain Range, he was naturally overjoyed.
"My Lords!" When everyone saw Assassin Number One and Assassin Number Two slowly walking over, they hurriedly saluted.
"Bu Wendong, what happened?" The two walked to Bu Wendong's side and inquired about the ins and outs of the matter.
Only then did Bu Wendong tell Assassin Number One all the information they had obtained.
It turned out that the Assassination Society had sent out many scouts near the Central Mountain Range. Last night, they had already received news that a large number of Northern Region soldiers had retreated from the Central Mountain Range.
By this morning, except for the three mountains, the other four mountains had already been deserted.
Not long ago, even the Northern Region soldiers from the three mountains had all retreated from the Central Mountain Range.
"Did you send anyone to investigate?" Assassin Number One was worried that this was a ploy by the Northern Region to lure them in.
After all, it was the Northern Region that could not wait to start a war, not them.
Bu Wendong nodded and continued, "I've already sent a thousand soldiers to investigate the five mountains. Not a single person was left. Even the rations and supplies were all moved away."
Assassin Number One and Assassin Number Two exchanged a look, their hearts filled with suspicion.
No matter what the reason was, the Northern Region should not have chosen to retreat at this time. All of this seemed more like a trap.
"My Lord, please give me a hundred thousand soldiers. I am willing to be the vanguard and take down the Central Mountain Range!" Bu Wendong knelt on one knee and requested for the army to be sent out.
Assassin Number One did not speak. He gazed in the direction of the Central Mountain Range, unable to make a decision.
As the person in charge of the camp, if the Central Mountain Range was taken by the Northern Region, he would more or less be punished when he returned to the Society.
And the leader of the next batch of reinforcements would most likely be the higher-ups of the Society. Their status would naturally be higher than his.
Everyone knew that the assassins at the headquarters and the higher-ups had always been at odds with each other. They were divided into two factions.
If the higher-ups did not like him and blamed him for it, it would be quite troublesome.
After hesitating for a long time, No.1 nodded and said to Bu Wendong, "Bring 100,000 soldiers with you. Remember, watch every corner of the Central Mountain Range. Don't let a single person escape."
A hundred thousand soldiers were nothing to him.
He mainly wanted to make use of these 100,000 soldiers to see if the Northern Region's retreat was real or fake.
Bu Wendong bowed in response, the wrinkles on his face rippling like ripples, unable to conceal his joy.
Then, Bu Wendong led 100,000 soldiers and set off toward the Central Mountain Range.
Assassin Number One's face remained cold. He still did not believe that the Northern Region would withdraw its troops.
"Lead the troops and guard the campsite!"
"Those who leave the camp will be killed without mercy!"
Number One scanned the crowd. His aura was undeniable.
Every leader of Wu Huang's team received their orders and went to manage their troops.
"Number One, no matter how you look at it, this is a conspiracy." Assassin Number Two reminded him, for fear that Assassin Number One couldn't see through it.
Assassin Number One glanced at him and sneered, "How can I not see through it? Let Bu Wendong die first. I want to see how long Lin Yun can last. "
In fact, there was something that Assassin Number One did not mention. He had a feeling that Lin Yun would not use such a clumsy plan.
If the Northern Region really retreated because of something, but he did not reoccupy the Central Mountain Range, he would be laughed at by the people in the association.
…
Eastern Region, Central Mountain Range.
Bu Wendong led 100,000 soldiers and entered the Central Mountain Range carefully.
Along the way, they did not encounter any attacks. It seemed that there were no other living people in the Central Mountain Range apart from them.
"Are they really retreating?" Bu Wendong could not help but raise this doubt in his heart. The Northern Region had gone through so much to conquer this mountain range. Would they really retreat so easily?
Bu Wendong ordered the 100,000 soldiers to spread out and thoroughly investigate every corner of the Central Mountain Range to see if there were any Northern Region soldiers lying in ambush.
At the same time, Bu Wendong led the few remaining soldiers and cautiously ascended the Northern Region's original headquarters — Triplet Mountain.
Within a day, the 100,000 soldiers searched the Central Mountain Range, not leaving any corner unchecked. However, they did not find any Northern Region soldiers.
"Pass down my order. Set up camp for the three armies!" Bu Wendong laughed heartily. It seemed that the Northern Region had really given the Central Mountain Range to him.
Bu Wendong sat in a tent built on Triplet Mountain. He looked down at everything around him, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
At the same time, he brought this news back to the camp.
At this moment, a few patrolling soldiers were whispering to each other, talking about what had happened today.
"Big Brother Zhao … Why do I feel that there are more trees in the mountain range?" A soldier asked a soldier who was a few years older than him as he walked.
Big Brother Zhao patted his head and said in a low voice, "It's the change of seasons now. There are many changes in the mountain range. Don't talk too much."
When Bu Wendong confirmed that the Central Mountain Range was safe, the news also reached the ears of Assassin Number One and the others.
"They really retreated?" Assassin Number One still felt that the whole thing was a little strange. Had the Northern Region really retreated?
"Number One, there are more than two million soldiers in the Northern Region. The Central Mountain Range is only so big. It doesn't make sense that there are so many places to hide so many people." Assassin Number Two felt that Assassin Number One was a little too nervous.
After all, although the Central Mountain Range was huge, it was impossible for more than two million people to disappear without a trace.
If they did not find any soldiers in the mountain range, it could only prove that the Northern Region's army had retreated from the Central Mountain Range.
"But why did they do that?" Assassin Number One asked in confusion.
Even if their reinforcements arrived two days later, it would be difficult for them to attack the Northern Region's soldiers in a short period of time due to the steep terrain of the mountain range.
"Maybe it's because the rear is in trouble, or they retreated in the face of difficulties?" Assassin Number Two said. When he saw Assassin Number One still frowning, he stretched and yawned. He said casually, "Why don't we not condense the barrier tomorrow and see if it's real first?"
Assassin Number One heard his suggestion and nodded.
They would not condense the 'black and white barrier' tomorrow and attack the mountain range.
If the Northern Region's soldiers were still in the Central Mountain Range, they would definitely attack such a great opportunity.
If the Northern Region's army really retreated, then Assassin Number One could also take the Central Mountain Range for himself.
