After three consecutive days of running through the night, the Northern Territory Army finally returned to Longhu Mountain before the Assassination Society's pursuit.
More than a month ago, there were more than three million Northern Territory troops with high momentum.
Today, there are only less than 1.3 million horses left in the Northern Territory Army, and everyone's face shows signs of exhaustion.
According to the information reported by the scouts, due to the self-destruction of one hundred thousand Longhushan soldiers, the Xuanwu Nu River has formed an abyss hundreds of meters deep.
These 100,000 soldiers delayed the Assassination Society's journey for three days, which also meant that they had at least three days to build a defense system and then use it to block the Assassination Society's advance.
After running around all night, every soldier in the Northern Territory was very tired.
After Long Yuxi returned to Longhu Mountain, he ordered all the soldiers to rest for a day, and the remaining important figures in the Emperor Wu realm were now gathered in the hall of the Longhu Sect.
Except for Xiao Yin, Yasuo and Hu Heixin, who are still in coma, almost all the other key personnel are gathered in the hall.
Yun Ruoxi and Lin Ying have already tried to persuade Long Yuxi, but now Long Yuxi's injury is still very serious and he needs more rest.
But Long Yuxi knew very well that this time was an existential crisis for the Northern Territory. Even though he was seriously injured, he still managed to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
Now the spacious hall was silent and seemed a little sad.
After a long time, Long Chenfeng appeared at the door supporting Long Yuxi.
"Sect Master Dragon!"
"Commander!"
For a moment, everyone came up to express their concern for Long Yuxi's injury.
"I can't die." Long Yuxi waved his hand impatiently, and with the help of Long Chenfeng, he walked up the stairs and sat on the throne.
"Commander Zhong, tell me about the current situation of the war." Long Yuxi leaned on the throne with one hand, his face was pale and his voice was hoarse. Long Chenfeng stood aside, silent.
After hearing Long Yuxi's call, Zhong Shudao responded, then walked out and began to talk about the current war situation.
"According to reports from the scouts, the Assassination Society's army has now passed through the Eastern Mountains."
"We only have three days to build a defense system. Tianxuan Sect has sent back the news that a batch of new weapons will be sent within three days."
"We cannot use the steep mountains of Longhu Mountain this time. We must have a head-on confrontation with the Assassination Society."
Zhong Shudao's words reached everyone's ears. After hearing these words, everyone's reaction was different.
"How to fight!"
"A Martial Saint and a Half-Step Martial Saint!"
For a moment, many Emperor Wu started talking, and the hall was extremely noisy.
They knew that they still underestimated the assassination meeting. Now that the army is approaching, they may never be able to recover.
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely depressing.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Long Yuxi coughed. Although his voice was small, everyone still heard it. "Commander Zhong, please continue talking."
Zhong Shudao nodded and continued to talk about the next plan.
Because Longhu Mountain is located at the critical point between the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory, if they defend the Assassination Society with a condescending advantage, they may anger the President of the Assassination Society.
The only thing they can rely on now is that they have not really taken any action to assassinate the president.
If the president of the Assassination Society really takes action and destroys the entire Longhu Mountain, then there will never be a day for recovery in the Northern Territory.
"Commander Zhong, that's easy to say!"
"To use more than one million to fight three million is simply nonsense."
"In addition, if the president of the Assassination Society takes action, who can withstand it?"
All kinds of questions came like bombs. Long Yuxi coughed a few times, and the scene became a little quieter.
Then, Zhong Shudao turned to look at Long Yuxi, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.
Long Yuxi nodded, obviously discussing something with Zhong Shudao.
"Don't panic, everyone! Master Long has received the exact news from the deputy commander, Mr. Lin Yun. He is rushing back at full speed. He will definitely be able to get back to Longhu Mountain in three to four days."
Zhong Shudao's words were like a deep-sea bomb in an instant, causing everyone in the hall to cheer.
"Master Lin Yun is coming back?"
"Lord Lin Yun must have a solution!"
"yes!"
Unknowingly, Lin Yun's image in their minds had surpassed Long Yuxi's and became the savior of the Northern Territory.
After all, Lin Yun had brought them too many miracles. It was even said that they were able to press the entire army into the headquarters of the Assassination Society in their lifetime. This was all due to Lin Yun.
After everyone repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of the news and received Long Yuxi's affirmative answer, they went back to rest happily, as if as long as Lin Yun came back, all the problems would be solved.
When everyone went back, only Long Yuxi, Long Chenfeng and Zhong Shudao were left in the entire hall, which seemed a bit empty.
"Sect Master Long, have you really received the message from Master Lin Yun?" After a long time, Zhong Shudao asked cautiously.
Long Yuxi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed, "It would be great if there was news about him."
With him alone, even if he sacrifices his life, the most he can do is stop Ye Shenghui.
However, the president of the Assassination Society never took action. This was the last powerful enemy.
"Then..." Zhong Shudao was a little surprised. Even he believed Long Yuxi and everyone else's affirmative expressions just now.
"Commander Zhong, if the sect leader hadn't taken this step, I'm afraid half of the people in the hall would have fled."
Husband and wife are originally like birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately.
This is true for a couple, let alone a group of people like them who are not related by blood.
Most of these sect leaders were unwilling to build an army to fight against the assassination society at first. After all, they all knew how terrifying the assassination would be.
However, due to the coercion and inducement of Longhu Mountain, he finally had to join the Northern Territory Army.
Along the way, every time Lin Yun created a miracle, it gave them a powerful reassurance.
But it was Lin Yun, not Long Yuxi, who gave them this reassurance.
Therefore, in the face of a death situation where Lin Yun is missing and the assassination guild's army is approaching, there are still many people who want to choose to protect their lives wisely rather than risking their lives.
"Please step aside first, I want to be alone." Long Yuxi waved his hand, and after Long Chenfeng and Zhong Shudao bowed, they exited the hall.
When the two of them disappeared from the door, Long Yuxi's right hand weakly took out a brocade box from his arms.
The brocade box was covered with dust and had obviously been stored for some time.
"Ancestors, I may not be able to hold on anymore."
"I have no choice now..."
Long Yuxi's tone was a little helpless, and he gently blew on the surface of the brocade box, blowing off a layer of dust.
At this time, two words appeared on the brocade box - Forbidden Technique!
