After witnessing the overnight withdrawal of troops from the Northern Territory, the one who was most happy and excited was probably Bu Wendong.
The battle in the Central Mountains resulted in the fall of the Central Mountains due to him.
Even with the one-eyed man as his scapegoat, he was still in panic all day long, worried about the prosecution of Killer No. 1.
Now seeing that the Northern Territory army retreated without attacking and handed over the Central Mountain Range to them, they were naturally overjoyed.
"Two adults!" When everyone saw Killer No. 1 and Killer No. 2 approaching slowly, they hurriedly saluted.
"Bu Wendong, what's going on?" The two of them walked up to Bu Wendong and asked about the whole story.
Bu Wendong then informed Killer No. 1 of all the information they had obtained.
It turns out that the Assassination Society has sent out a lot of scouts near the Central Mountains. Last night, there was news from the scouts that a large number of soldiers from the Northern Territory had withdrawn from the Central Mountains.
By this morning, except for the three mountains, the other four mountains were already empty of people.
Not long ago, even the soldiers from the Northern Region of Sanshan evacuated the Central Mountain Range.
"Have you sent anyone to investigate?" Killer No. 1 was worried that this was a plot by the Northern Territory and deliberately lured them.
After all, it is the Northern Territory that is eager to start a war now, not them.
Bu Wendong nodded and continued, "I have sent a thousand soldiers to survey the five high mountains. No one was left behind. Even the military rations and items were all moved away."
Killer No. 1 and Killer No. 2 looked at each other, but their hearts were filled with suspicion.
No matter what the reason is, Northern Territory should not choose to withdraw its troops at this time. This all looks more like a trap.
"Sir, please give me 100,000 soldiers. I am willing to be the vanguard and capture the Central Mountains!" Bu Wendong knelt down on one knee and asked for the order to march out.
Killer No. 1 said nothing, looking in the direction of the central mountain range, unable to make a decision in his heart.
As the person in charge of this camp, since the central mountain range was captured by the Northern Territory, he will be punished to some extent when he returns to the camp.
The leader of the next batch of reinforcements is probably a senior member of the association, and his status is naturally higher than his.
As we all know, the killers and senior management at the headquarters have always been at odds with each other and are divided into two factions.
If the senior management doesn't like me at that time and uses this to blame myself, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble.
After hesitating for a long time, Killer No. 1 nodded and said to Bu Wendong, "With one hundred thousand soldiers, remember to watch every corner of the Central Mountain Range. Don't let even one person go."
One hundred thousand soldiers was nothing to him.
He mainly wanted to use these 100,000 troops to see clearly whether the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Territory was true or false.
Bu Wendong bowed in response, the wrinkles on his face rippled like ripples, and he could not conceal his joy.
Bu Wendong then led 100,000 soldiers and set off towards the Central Mountains.
Killer No. 1 always had a cold look on his face. He still didn't quite believe in the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Territory.
"Lead the troops of each team and guard the camp!"
"Those who wantonly escape from the camp will be killed without mercy!"
Killer No. 1 looked around at everyone, his aura was needless to say.
Each Emperor Wu leader issued an order to go down and manage his own army.
"No. 1, no matter how you look at it, it's all a conspiracy." Killer No. 2 reminded him, for fear that Killer No. 1 wouldn't see it.
Killer No. 1 glanced at him and sneered, "How could I not see it? Let Wendong die first. I want to see how long Lin Yun can last."
In fact, there was one thing Killer No. 1 didn't say. He always felt that Lin Yun wouldn't be able to use such a clumsy strategy.
If it is true that the Northern Territory retreated due to something, but he did not reoccupy the Central Mountains, I am afraid that if word spreads, he will be laughed at by the people in the meeting.
…
Eastern Region, Central Mountains.
Bu Wendong led one hundred thousand soldiers and cautiously entered the Central Mountains.
Along the way, they did not receive any attacks. It seemed that apart from them, there were no more living people left in the Central Mountain Range.
"Really withdrawing the troops?" Bu Wendong couldn't help raising this doubt in his mind. The Northern Territory had gone through a lot of hard work to win this mountain range. Would the troops really withdraw so easily?
Bu Wendong ordered 100,000 soldiers to disperse and thoroughly search every corner of the Central Mountains to see if there were any ambushes left by soldiers from the Northern Territory.
At the same time, Bu Wendong took the few remaining soldiers and climbed to Sanshan, the original base camp of the Northern Territory with all vigilance.
Within a day, one hundred thousand soldiers had been searching the central mountain range, not sparing any corner, but they could not find any soldiers from the northern region.
"Send my order and the three armies will set up camp!" Bu Wendong laughed heartily. It seemed that the Northern Territory had really handed over the Central Mountains to him.
Bu Wendong sat in the tent built on Sanshan Mountain, looking down at everything around him, feeling extremely proud.
At the same time, he also brought this news back to the camp.
At this time, several patrols were whispering to each other about what happened today.
"Brother Zhao... I feel like there are too many trees in the mountains." A soldier walked and asked the soldier next to him who was several years older than him.
Brother Zhao patted his head and whispered, "It's the season change now, and there are many changes in the mountains. Don't talk too much."
When Bu Wendong confirmed that the Central Mountain Range was safe, the news also reached the ears of Killer No. 1 and the others.
"Really retreated?" Killer No. 1 still felt that the whole thing was a bit strange. Did the Northern Territory really withdraw its troops?
"No. 1, there are more than two million soldiers in the Northern Territory. The Central Mountain Range is so big. There is no reason to have so many places to hide so many people." Killer No. 2 felt that Killer No. 1 was a little too nervous.
After all, although the Central Mountain Range is huge, it is impossible for more than two million people to disappear without a trace.
If no soldiers are found in the mountains, it can only prove that the Northern Territory Army has withdrawn from the Central Mountains.
"But why did they do this?" Killer No. 1 asked in confusion.
Even if they have reinforcements arriving two days later, the Northern Territory relies on the high mountains and steep terrain, and even they will have a hard time capturing the Northern Territory soldiers in a short time.
"Perhaps it's because of difficulties at the rear, or because he retreated in spite of the difficulties?" Killer No. 2 said. When he saw Killer No. 1 still frowning, he stretched, yawned, and said casually,
"How about we stop condensing the barrier tomorrow and try it first."
Killer No. 1 heard his suggestion and nodded.
Tomorrow they will no longer condense the 'black and white barrier' and open Zhongshan again.
If the soldiers from the Northern Territory were still in the Central Mountain Range, it would be impossible for them not to attack with such a great opportunity.
If the Northern Territory Army really retreats, then Killer No. 1 can also capture the Central Mountains.
