Eastern Region, Black Tortoise Fury River.
The president's' five-day promise 'was gone in the blink of an eye.
In these five days, the Northern Region army had been on the move, traveling day and night, and finally arrived at Black Tortoise Fury River on the fifth day.
Although Yasuo and the rest led the 100,000 soldiers from the four sects to resist the Assassination Guild for less than a day, the 100,000 soldiers from the four sects self-detonated in succession, causing the Three Mountains and Four Mountains to collapse.
Countless huge rocks blocked the entrance to the central mountain range, like a terrifying steel wall.
It was precisely because of this that the Assassination Guild spent almost a day clearing the rocks before the army could continue to pass.
At this moment, under the scorching sun, a black mass of people appeared on the road leading to Black Tortoise Fury River outside the eight cities.
This group of people was the Northern Region army that had been running for their lives.
Currently, everyone's faces were filled with exhaustion. They pursed their lips, feeling extremely indignant.
Long Woo-seok and Xiao Yin were still in a daze after the previous battle.
As for Yasuo, Hu Heixin, and the rest, they were seriously injured in the defensive battle in the mountain range.
If not for the man in the mirror using his Martial Soul's ability to save everyone at the last moment, Yasuo and the rest would probably have died in the mountain range.
When the man in the mirror returned to the Northern Region army, he told everyone about the story of the 100,000 soldiers.
Everyone was in an uproar. Their hearts were filled with sorrow, and they wanted nothing more than to mount a horse and kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Of course, this was an unrealistic idea. It had just sprouted a little when it was strangled in the cradle by Zhong Shudao.
At the front of the army were Zhong Shudao and Long Chenfeng.
Currently, the entire Northern Region army was only relying on the two of them to hold on.
"Military Advisor Zhong, the five-day deadline has passed," Long Chenfeng reminded as the two of them rode on the green dragon.
Zhong Shudao's face was cold. With Lin Yun absent, the entire Northern Region army was in a complete mess.
If not for Long Chenfeng's stern reprimanding, he would not have been able to manage so many people by himself.
Zhong Shudao turned around to look and saw that the northern region's great army was densely packed. It was just that every one of them looked extremely exhausted.
For five consecutive days, they had traveled day and night. Even an ancient martial art practitioner in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm would find it hard to endure, not to mention that there were many ancient martial art practitioners in the army with lower realms.
Zhong Shudao raised his head to look at the sky, then looked towards the end of the horizon. At this moment, he saw that at the end of the land, sand and dust were stirred up.
"Shit!" Zhong Shudao's expression changed, and he exclaimed.
Long Chenfeng followed Zhong Shudao's gaze and saw that the Assassination Society's flag had already appeared at the end of the land.
"So fast!" Long Chenfeng was startled in his heart. No one would have thought that the Assassination Society would actually catch up so quickly.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Northern Region also saw their pursuers dozens of miles behind them.
At the end of the earth, the great army of the Assassination Guild that blotted out the skies and covered the earth was like a surging tide, sweeping towards them in a grandiose manner.
At this moment, the army of the Northern Region immediately fell into chaos.
"Damn it! I can't take it anymore! "
"At worst, I'll just die!"
"I must kill this bunch of bastards!"
Since a month ago, they had advanced triumphantly all the way, crossing the Nu River, seizing eight cities, and attacking five mountains. But in the span of a night, all their efforts over the past month had gone down the drain.
Even their brothers had died a violent death.
They did not want to continue fleeing like this. They wanted to fight a hot-blooded battle!
The dense army immediately split into several groups. Some wanted to continue fleeing, some were unwilling to endure such humiliation, and some were wavering on their decision.
All sorts of noises were like the buzzing of flies, and it was extremely noisy.
Many people's eyes were bloodshot, and they gripped their weapons tightly as their bodies trembled.
"All of you, quiet down!"
A majestic, suppressive, and oppressive voice rolled over. The sound waves actually seemed to be tangible, penetrating through all the soldiers of the Northern Region.
This voice was mixed with the roars of dragons and tigers, giving people an intimidating shock to their souls.
When they heard this voice, all the soldiers of the Northern Region strangely fell silent, and then one by one, they cast their gazes in the direction of the voice.
In the center of the Northern Region's army, Yun Ruoxi and Lin Ying supported the pale-faced Long Woo-seok as they walked out, one step at a time.
"Thank you for your trouble." Long Woo-seok smiled bitterly. For the past few days, Yun Ruoxi and Lin Ying had been playing the role of military doctors, and everyone was treated by the two of them.
"Commander!"
"Sect Leader Long!"
"Sect Leader!"
When they saw that Long Woo-seok was safe and sound, cheers rang out one after another.
"Sect Leader, are you alright?" Long Chenfeng hurried forward, took Long Woo-seok, and then cast a grateful look at Yun Ruoxi and Lin Ying.
"Where's Military Advisor Zhong?" Long Woo-seok's voice was a little weak, and it seemed like he had yet to recover from his serious illness.
"Commander." Zhong Shudao also walked forward and bowed respectfully.
"Military Advisor, is there any other way?" Long Woo-seok frowned and asked sincerely.
Now that the pursuers were here, Long Woo-seok understood that no matter what, even if there were sacrifices, they couldn't start a war here.
He had woken up not long ago, and after hearing about the hundred thousand soldiers of the four sects, he felt extremely guilty.
This strengthened his resolve to not let the soldiers of the four sects die in vain.
Zhong Shudao lowered his head in deep thought, and his brows were tightly furrowed. However, he still couldn't think of a good idea.
"The only way now is to cross the river." Long Chenfeng reminded.
"Black Tortoise Nu River … Nu River … River …" At this moment, a light flashed across Zhong Shudao's mind, and he put his palms together and said softly, "There's a way."
Zhong Shudao gestured for Long Chenfeng and Long Woo-seok to come closer. Clearly, he didn't want others to hear this idea.
After hearing Zhong Shudao's idea, Long Chenfeng and Long Woo-seok's faces alternated between green and white.
"Is this the only way?" Long Chenfeng asked unwillingly.
"Six hours. Six hours later, the Assassination Squad will definitely reach the Black Tortoise Nu River. This is the only way, and it will delay them for enough time for our army to return to the Northern Region. "Zhong Shudao nodded his head firmly.
"But …" Long Chenfeng wanted to continue retorting, but Long Woo-seok had already raised his hand and interrupted him.
Long Woo-seok took a deep breath and remained silent. He seemed to be in pain.
Long Chenfeng and Zhong Shudao didn't say anything in tacit understanding. They wanted to wait for Long Woo-seok to give the final decision.
After a long time, Long Woo-seok coughed a few times. Then, as if he had made an extremely important decision, he said calmly, "If the hundred thousand brothers of the four sects aren't afraid of death, would we?"
"Chen Feng, gather all the brothers from Dragon Squad and Tiger Squad!"
