The atmosphere in the central mountain range suddenly became somewhat oppressive, and a great battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
Meng Jun's death became a fatal fuse, igniting the fighting spirit in the hearts of every Northern Region soldier.
At most, they would die. Even if they died on the battlefield, it was better than hiding in the back and dragging out an ignoble existence.
"All of you, stop!" Zhong Shudao hurriedly stepped forward and shouted at the soldiers who wanted to start the battle.
Now that the commander, Long Woo-seok, was unconscious, and the deputy commander, Lin Yun, was unknown, only Zhong Shudao, who was the military advisor, could command the soldiers on the battlefield.
After hearing Zhong Shudao's words, the Northern Region soldiers put down their weapons.
Zhong Shudao plucked up his courage and walked to the front of the army, coming to Yasuo and Hu Heixin's side.
"Generals, you must not start the battle," Zhong Shudao said in a low voice. Zhong Shudao said in a low voice. Originally, as a military advisor, he could hide in the back of the army and devise strategies.
However, the current situation was tense. If the two armies started a battle, the Northern Region would definitely suffer in the end.
"Nonsense, I also know that we can't start a battle." Hu Heixin said impatiently. However, whether to start a battle or not wasn't up to them. It was all up to the president.
"Military Advisor Zhong, quickly think of a way," Yasuo said. Currently, the three powerhouses of the Northern Region were not present. If they started a battle now, they had no chance of winning at all. If things went wrong, all of them might die here.
In fact, people like them had already disregarded life and death. However, if they died here, the Assassination Society's army would march straight in. At that time, the entire Northern Region would be in dire straits, and the people would be plunged into misery and suffering.
Faced with everyone's anxious gazes, Zhong Shudao sighed. He took a deep breath and made an important decision.
Step by step, Zhong Shudao walked toward the huge pit in the center. When he reached the edge of the pit, he held his head high and his chest out. His gaze fell on the president of the Assassination Society.
"Mr. President, may I know if the bet is still valid?" Zhong Shudao asked loudly.
"A level-five Wu Huang …" The president curled his lips and revealed a smile.
Suddenly, the president's figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhong Shudao.
Zhong Shudao sucked in a breath of cold air and staggered slightly. However, he still tried his best to stabilize his body and not make himself look too flustered.
"Who are you?" the president asked.
"Military Advisor of the Northern Region, Zhong Shudao." Zhong Shudao said calmly. However, his trembling voice was unable to conceal the fear in his heart.
Although the Guild Leader did not exude the slightest bit of pressure, Zhong Shudao still felt as if he was facing a god of death.
And this killing god could step on him at any time, as easily as stepping on an ant.
"Interesting, interesting." The president threw his head back and laughed. He looked at Zhong Shu with interest and said, "You asked me if the bet is valid. In your opinion, one win, one loss, and one draw. What do you think?"
Zhong Shudao took a deep breath and said, "It's up to the president to make the final decision."
Zhong Shudao had faced such a situation twice in his life. The first time was when he faced Lin Yun at the Ruyi Sect. The second time was now.
However, this time, it was even more dangerous than when he faced Lin Yun.
"I'm the one who makes the final decision …" The president touched his bearded chin. After a long time, he revealed a proud expression and said, "Since it's a draw, I'll give you another chance."
"This time, the Assassination Society will only send three million soldiers to chase after you for five days. After five days, all of us will make our move. "
Zhong Shudao was shocked. He did not expect the president to make such a suggestion.
"I hope you will keep your promise, sir." Zhong Shudao pondered for a moment before he cupped his hands and bowed. He turned around and walked toward the Northern Region's army.
"Hahaha, what an interesting group of people. I don't want to kill them anymore." The president laughed and returned to the army.
"President, why are you giving them chances again and again? In my opinion, you should just bring the army to the border. " Zhang Xueyu said indignantly. She had been defeated by Xiao Yin twice in the past few days. She was burning with anger and wanted to see how Xiao Yin would die.
The president glanced at her, snorted coldly, and said, "I want them to return to the Northern Region and kill them in front of everyone in the Northern Region."
"I want everyone in the world to know the consequences of offending my Assassination Society!"
Zhong Shudao returned to the army and fell to the ground. He was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
"Military Counselor Zhong, are you alright?" Yasuo hurried forward and helped Zhong Shudao up.
"Military Counselor Zhong, you're too brave. How dare you go there?" Hu Heixin gave Zhong Shudao a thumbs up. A mere Class 5 Wu Huang actually dared to negotiate with Wu Sheng. There were not many people in the Northern Region who had such courage.
After Zhong Shudao drank a few mouthfuls of water, he told everyone what the president had said.
After everyone heard this, they all frowned.
Even if Wu Huang's realm was higher and did not participate in the five-day pursuit, they could not resist three million soldiers.
They could no longer use the terrain of the Central Mountain Range. After all, their top priority was to return to the Northern Region and not stay in the Eastern Region.
"Military Counselor Zhong, do you have any brilliant plan?" Wu Huang asked.
"Given the current situation, we can only meet force with force."
"The soldiers of the Assassination Society are familiar with the surrounding terrain. Five days is enough for them to cause us a lot of trouble."
"The only way now is to leave a group of people behind to resist the three million soldiers of the Assassination Society as much as possible. The rest can retreat as soon as possible."
Zhong Shudao looked around at everyone and voiced his thoughts.
Everyone fell into deep thought and looked at each other in dismay.
Leaving a group of people behind to resist the three million soldiers of the Assassination Society was simply a joke.
"Isn't he doomed to die?" It was unknown who had pointed out this point, but in an instant, the soldiers of the Northern Region began to discuss spiritedly.
"Isn't that just waiting for death?"
"Who would dare to stay!"
"That's a dead end!"
While everyone was still discussing, a loud voice suddenly sounded. "We'll stay!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shangguan and Nangong in armor, with 100,000 people behind them, walking toward them.
"No one in the Four Sect Alliance is afraid of death. Moreover, we're well-equipped. If we rely on the terrain of the Central Mountain Range, it's not impossible for us to resist for a while," Prince Namgong said fearlessly.
"Are you guys crazy? We'll definitely die if we stay! " Hana Mio rushed out of the crowd and looked at Prince Namgong and Shangguan Xiayan in disbelief.
