Chu Xisheng was magnanimous and chivalrous, intelligent and brave, ruthless and decisive, generous to his subordinates, and skilled in management, possessing all the traits of a great hero.
Originally, Dan Chiling thought that the foundation of West Mountain Hall would be stable, but unexpectedly, this young upstart ran off to the Capital City, giving their rivals a chance to take advantage and also putting the Dan Family in an awkward position.
Now we truly are at the point of life or death.”
Dan Chiling’s eyes were focused and resolute, “West Mountain Town is less than seventy miles from here, and reinforcements from West Mountain Hall can arrive in at most an hour.
However, to be on the safe side, you go find some people to prepare some wood, but pay attention to not get the dry ones, we need the wet wood.
Also prepare a few sorcerers.”
“Wet wood?” Dan Ze was initially stunned, but then he realized that wet wood and sorcerers were likely for making smoke.
Dan Chiling, on the other hand, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the five thousand bandits on the mountain path leading to the gorge.
He guessed that the Sheen Family had more tricks up their sleeve, and they surely had a way to engage and hold back the forces of West Mountain Hall.
Dan Chiling couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly in his sleeves, creating a series of cracking sounds.
He thought to himself, what kind of world is this, with Chu Xisheng pressuring him, and the Sheen Family, too.
Sheen Zhou, oh Sheen Zhou, and those two from White Cloud Village and Jiudao Dock, don’t go too far.
A patient man when driven to fury, is not something you can withstand.
The numerous altar masters and vice altar masters of West Mountain were gathered in the main hall.
They had different expressions, some solemn, some filled with righteous indignation, some brimming with the will to fight, and some anxious and worrisome.
They were engaged in a buzzing debate, arguing incessantly.
Just half an hour ago, a beacon fire was lit at the summit near Zheng Family Village on the East Slope of West Mountain.
In the Daning Army, yellow smoke signals a hundred men, black smoke a thousand.
Chu Xisheng, after subduing the West Mountain Hunters, directly adopted the same practice.
And now, nine strands of smoke, dark and straight, rose from Zheng Family Village.
This signified that Zheng Family Village was facing an attack by nine thousand troops.
To make matters worse, the Dan Family, who were guarding several gorges of West Mountain Hall, were also constantly sending tokens calling for reinforcements.
A full five thousand elite bandits were attacking Ghost Cry Gorge.
The focus of everyone’s debate was which place to save first.
“Obviously Ghost Cry Gorge; once those bandits break through West Mountain, the consequences will be unthinkable!
It will destabilize the entire situation.”
“Ghost Cry Gorge is undoubtedly important, but isn’t Zheng Family Village just as critical?
Four sub-forums from within West Mountain have already gone to their aid, and there are only six hundred bows and swords there.
I heard that the village fortifications of Zheng Family Village haven’t been completed yet.”
“The only strategy now is to divide our forces and try to cover both.”
Splitting our forces will only get us broken up by the Sheen Family, sending our brothers to their deaths for nothing.”
“Perhaps we could ask for reinforcements from the Headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang?”
“Useless, the main forces of the Iron Banner Gang are upstream in Xunyang County, and those remaining at the Headquarters can only keep an eye on Xiushui County Town.”
At this moment, the expression on Lu Luanti, who was sitting at the head of the table, was somewhat abnormal.
In this hall, those arguing most fiercely were all spies and traitors.
They were passionately raging, clamoring until they were red in the face, devoting their all to West Mountain Hall’s cause, full of zeal.
On the contrary, those without questionable identities were rather calm and quiet.
Sitting next to Lu Luanti was Li Shenshan, with his eyebrows furrowed into a frown.
Li Shenshan felt none of the options were appropriate; at this moment, West Mountain Hall was caught in a difficult dilemma.
Just then, Chu Yunyun wearing leather armor, walked into the hall.
She walked straight to the center of the main hall and stood firm, surveying the people present.
Strangely enough, although Chu Yunyun showed no particular expression and did not speak, the entire hall gradually fell silent, and the atmosphere became cold and stern.
This was merely a girl not even fourteen years of age, frail and weak, yet she radiated an astonishing aura that imposed a slight pressure on everyone’s primordial spirit thought.
“Immediately dispatch troops to Zheng Family Village!
Every sub-forum at the main entrance, all gang members must join the battle.
In this war, West Mountain Hall will make no reservations.”
Chu Yunyun’s voice was cool and calm, her enunciation clear, “Lu Pingyuan, you go on ahead, inform all Hunter Villages to gather behind Zheng Family Village, at Fruit Forest Village.
Within four hours, I want to see seven thousand bows and blades of West Mountain in Fruit Forest Village.
We promised to ensure their safety, but it’s time for them to make an effort as well!”
Lu Pingyuan’s expression grew severe, and after responding to the command, he hurried out of the main hall.
Before Chu Xisheng left, he had instructed that Chu Yunyun would preside over all matters concerning West Mountain Hall.
In his view, as Chu Xisheng’s only family, Chu Yunyun had a legitimate position.
Chu Yunyun then turned her gaze to Zhoou Liangchen, “Brother Zhoou, you are in charge of summoning the clan soldiers from the large families and nobility.
After assembling the army, follow from behind.
I don’t expect these people to fight, they just need to be kept in check and not cause trouble.”
Zhoou Liangchen suddenly felt somewhat reluctant; why was it that he never had a part to play in warfare?
He wanted to express his refusal, but upon meeting Chu Yunyun’s gaze, he calmed down again.
From Chu Yunyun’s eyes, Zhoou Liangchen saw trust and a heavy responsibility.
He quickly realized that of all the altar masters in West Mountain Hall, he was the most suitable for this task.
Only his identity as a direct descendant of the Zhoou Family could make those large families and nobility think twice.
Zhoou Liangchen didn’t want to let down the trust Chu Yunyun had placed in him.
However, someone still stood up in the hall and questioned, “Acting Hall Master, coming to the aid of Zheng Family Village is undoubtedly our duty, but what shall be done about Ghost Cry Gorge?
The Dan Family’s military strength is insufficient, and their will to fight is weak; they may not be able to hold out for long.”
“There’s no need to worry about Ghost Cry Gorge for now; just have the Dan Family maintain their defense,” replied Chu Yunyun, her gaze extending beyond the hall, a touch of coldness in her eyes.
“As long as West Mountain Hall does not fall, the Dan Family dare not turn their coats.
The key to this battle still lies in Zheng Family Village.
As long as we crush the forces that Sheen Family has brought from the county army, everything else will fall into place!”
Lu Luan looked at Chu Yunyun, stunned, feeling that at this moment, Little Sister Chu possessed great momentum, confident and composed, strategizing behind the scenes, just like a Great General who had commanded tens of thousands of troops.
