After three consecutive days of traveling, the Northern Region Army finally returned to Mount Longhu before the Assassination Society arrived.
A month ago, the three million strong Northern Region Army was in high spirits.
Now, there were less than 1.3 million soldiers left in the Northern Region Army, and every one of them looked exhausted.
According to the scouts' reports, due to the self-detonation of the one hundred thousand Longhu Mountain soldiers, the Black Tortoise Fury River had formed an abyss hundreds of meters deep.
These one hundred thousand soldiers had delayed the Assassination Society for three days. This meant that they had at least three days to build a defense system and stop the Assassination Society's advance.
After traveling through the night, every Northern Region Army soldier was exhausted.
After Long Woo-seok returned to Mount Longhu, he ordered all the soldiers to rest for a day. The other important figures of Wu Huang's rank were all gathered in the Longhu Sect's main hall.
Other than Xiao Yin, Yasuo, and Hu Heixin, who were still unconscious, the rest of the core personnel were gathered in the main hall.
Yun Ruoxi and Lin Ying had already tried to persuade Long Woo-seok. Long Woo-seok's injuries were still very serious and he needed more rest.
But Long Woo-seok knew that this was a crisis that concerned the survival of the Northern Region. Even though he was seriously injured, he still forced himself to take charge of the situation.
The spacious main hall was dead silent, and it seemed a little sad.
After a long time, Long Chenfeng appeared at the door, supporting Long Woo-seok.
"Sect Leader Long!"
"Commander!"
In an instant, everyone came up to ask about Long Woo-seok's injuries.
"I won't die." Long Woo-seok waved his hand impatiently. With Long Chenfeng's help, he walked up the stairs and sat on the throne.
"Military Advisor Zhong, tell me about the current situation of the battle." Long Woo-seok leaned on his throne with one hand, his face pale and his voice hoarse. Long Chenfeng stood at the side, silent.
After hearing Long Woo-seok's call, Zhong Shudao responded and walked out to talk about the current battle situation.
"According to the scouts' reports, the Assassination Guild's army has already passed through the Eastern Mountain Range."
"We only have three days to build the defense system. The Profound Sky Sect has already sent a message that they will send a new batch of weapons within three days."
"This time, we can't use the steep terrain of Mount Longhu. We have to fight head-on with the Assassins."
Zhong Shudao's words entered everyone's ears, and everyone had different reactions when they heard it.
"How do we fight?"
"A Wu Sheng and a half-step Wu Sheng!"
In an instant, many Wu Huang and the others started to discuss among themselves, causing the hall to be filled with noise.
They knew that they had still underestimated the Assassination Society. Now that the army was bearing down on them, it was likely that they would not be able to escape.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely oppressive.
"Everyone, quiet down." Long Woo-seok coughed. Although his voice was soft, everyone heard it. "Military Advisor Zhong, please continue."
Zhong Shudao nodded and continued with the plan.
As Mount Longhu was located at the border between the North and East Regions, if they defended the Assassination Society with the advantage of being on a higher ground, they might anger the President of the Assassination Society.
The only thing they could pin their hopes on now was that the President of the Assassination Society had yet to make a move.
If the President of the Assassination Society really made a move and destroyed the entire Mount Longhu, the North Regions would not be able to escape.
"Advisor Zhong, it's easy for you to say!"
"A million against three million? That's just a fool's dream."
"In addition, if the President of the Assassination Society were to make a move, who would be able to withstand it?"
All sorts of questions came like cannonballs. Long Woo-seok coughed a few times, and the hall quietened down a little.
Then, Zhong Shudao turned to look at Long Woo-seok with a complicated expression.
Long Woo-seok nodded. Clearly, he had discussed something with Zhong Shudao.
"Everyone, don't panic! Sect Leader Long has already received accurate news from Deputy Commander Lin Yun. He is rushing back at full speed. He will definitely be able to rush back to Mount Longhu in three to four days. "
Zhong Shudao's words were like a deep sea bomb, causing everyone in the hall to start cheering.
"Lord Lin Yun is coming back?"
"Lord Lin Yun will definitely have a way!"
"Yes!"
Unknowingly, the image in their hearts, including Lin Yun, had already surpassed Long Woo-seok and become the savior of the North Regions.
After all, Lin Yun had brought them too many miracles. It could even be said that it was all thanks to Lin Yun that they were able to force their way into the Assassination Society's headquarters while they were still alive.
After everyone confirmed the accuracy of this news and received an affirmative reply from Long Woo-seok, they went back to rest happily. It was as if all the problems would be solved once Lin Yun returned.
After everyone had gone back, only Long Woo-seok, Long Chenfeng, and Zhong Shudao were left in the hall. It seemed a little empty.
"Sect Leader Long, did you really receive news from Lord Lin Yun?" After a long time, Zhong Shudao asked cautiously.
Long Woo-seok laughed bitterly, shook his head, and sighed. "It would be great if there was news from him."
Even if he sacrificed his life, he could only stop Ye Shenghui by himself.
But the president of the Assassination Society had never made a move. He was the final strong enemy.
"Then …" Zhong Shudao was a little surprised. Even he had believed Long Woo-seok's assurance to everyone just now.
"Military Advisor Zhong, if the sect leader didn't do this, I'm afraid half of the people in the hall would have fled just now."
Husband and wife were birds in the same forest, but when disaster struck, they would fly separately.
That was already the case for husband and wife, not to mention a group of people like them who were not related by blood.
Most of these sect leaders were unwilling to form an army to fight against the Assassination Society in the beginning. After all, they knew how terrifying the Assassination Society was.
But due to the threats and promises of Mount Longhu, they had no choice but to join the North Regions army in the end.
And along the way, every miracle that Lin Yun created gave them a strong reassurance.
But it was Lin Yun who gave them this reassurance, not Long Woo-seok.
So now that Lin Yun's whereabouts were unknown and the Assassination Society's army was pressing on, there were still many people who wanted to choose to protect themselves rather than fight to the death.
"You guys can leave first. I want to be alone for a while." Long Woo-seok waved his hand. After Long Chenfeng and Zhong Shudao bowed, they left the hall.
When the two of them disappeared at the door, Long Woo-seok's right hand weakly took out a brocade box from his bosom.
This brocade box was covered in dust. It was obvious that it had been stored for a long time.
"Old ancestors, I might not be able to hold on much longer."
"I have no other choice now …"
Long Woo-seok's tone was a little helpless. He gently blew on the surface of the brocade box, blowing off a layer of dust.
And at this moment, two words appeared on the brocade box — Forbidden Technique!
