Chapter 130 Who said there is no one in the North?

The warriors in the North all began to blame the Xingfeng Sect, which was also an excuse for their surrender.

Treason is a serious crime in any country.

If the Kingdom of Yue still controlled the northern border, they would never dare to commit treason.

Because the power of Yue State was too strong.

But the North is different.

The strength of Xingfeng Sect is far inferior to that of Yue State.

The entire Xingfengmen has only a few thousand people in total.

Looking at the faces of these people, Mo Yang wanted to say something, but Wang Hu stopped him.

"No need to waste time talking to them."

Wang Hu had never expected the martial arts forces in the north to come to his help.

This time we can only rely on them to open the Fengmen.

But what made Wang Hu angry was that these people actually surrendered in front of them, which was a big blow to morale.

Ning Chen looked at the group of surrendering Northern warriors in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

"Very good, you know what's happening. We won't kill you as long as you surrender."

Qin Liefeng immediately kowtowed to Ning Chen:

"Thank you for accepting me, Your Highness! We swear to be loyal to you till death."

Qin Liefeng was worried that Ningguo would not accept them.

Now that Ning Chen said this, they were completely relieved.

After learning the news that Ningguo’s army was attacking the northern border.

All major martial arts forces in the North are connected with each other.

Start discussing a way out together.

Originally, they thought that Xingfengmen would ask for help from Yue State and ask Yue State to send a large army to help.

Unexpectedly, the Xingfeng Sect actually planned to directly confront the Ningguo army.

Of course they would not follow the Xingfeng Sect to die.

So everyone chose to surrender.

Ning Chen turned to look at Wang Hu and said:
"Wang Hu, did you see that? All the warriors from your northern border have surrendered."

"Do you think there is still meaning for your Xingfeng Sect to continue?"

"You have no one in the North!"

There is no one in the North.

These words were like a thorn, piercing the hearts of the Xingfeng Sect warriors.

Indeed, they came to the border now just to protect the north.

But in the end, all the warriors in the North whom they were supposed to protect chose to surrender.

This made the warriors of Xingfeng Sect feel very ironic.

On a high mountain a thousand meters away from the border.

Liu Qian and Mo Chen were standing here, each holding a telescope in their hands.

At the same time, the intercom in Liu Qian's hand also transmitted the words of Qin Liefeng and others.

Mo Chen said angrily:

"These people deserve to die!"

Mo Chen was the angriest.

Because Liu Qian had asked them to notify these martial arts forces before.

These martial arts forces had promised well before and said they would send people over.

As a result, when people arrived, they all chose to surrender.

"That's human nature. They make their own choices."

Liu Qian's face looked heavy.

He was not surprised at all, as these martial arts forces themselves did not have much sense of belonging to the North.

Surrender is inevitable.

However, Liu Qian was very angry when he saw these people surrendering in front of the warriors of Xingfeng Sect.

This will inevitably deal a blow to the morale of the Xingfeng Sect warriors.

At this moment, Mo Chen seemed to see something. He asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Hearing this, Liu Qian immediately looked into the distance.

There was also a look of surprise on his face.

at the border.

The warriors of the Xingfeng Sect were all in low spirits.

The surrender of the Northern warriors brought everyone's morale to an extremely low point.

Mo Yang was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wished he could kill all the surrendering warriors.

Facing Ning Chen's questioning, Wang Hu said nothing.

What the other party said was true that there was no one in the North.

He couldn't refute anything.

Just then, bursts of noisy sounds suddenly came from the distance.

The voice came from behind Wang Hu and others.

Everyone turned around immediately and saw it on the road not far away.

Countless people are rushing towards the border.

They didn't ride on horned beasts, they all walked, and some even pushed carts.

There were so many people that you couldn't see the end of them.

In terms of numbers, the number of troops is no less than that brought by Ning Chen.

Everyone's expression changed at this moment.

Especially Ning Chen.

He looked at the scene in the distance with some disbelief.

When did there become so many people in the North?
Amid the surprised gazes of the crowd, the crowd from afar also came to the scene.

After seeing these people clearly, everyone was stunned.

Because most of these people were wearing tattered clothes and there was no blood or energy fluctuations in their bodies, they were all mortals!
These mortals carried a variety of weapons.

There are tools used for tilling the land at home, as well as hoes used for mining.

Some even came with stones in their hands.

Among the mortal team, an old man with a cane walked unsteadily to the side of Wang Hu and other Xingfeng Sect warriors.

He shouted in his old but powerful voice:

"All the villagers of Shi Village are willing to live and die with Xingfeng Sect!"

Each of these words seemed to carry a tremendous force, hitting everyone's heart.

This cry seemed to open a floodgate.

Immediately afterwards, excited voices rang out from the crowd.

"Liucun is willing to live and die with Xingfengmen!"

"Fengling Village is willing to live and die with Xingfeng Clan!"

"Taoyuan Village is willing to live and die with Xingfeng Clan!"

"."

As time goes by, such voices become more and more numerous and more frequent.

The crowd was also growing, starting with only tens of thousands, but it quickly increased to a hundred thousand.

By the end, there were nearly 200,000 people gathered here, all of them were mortals from different villages.

From the elderly to children, almost everyone appeared in the border area.

The expressions of these people were full of determination.

Everyone was staring fearlessly at Ning Chen and the others in the distance.

This sudden change was something that no one in the field had expected. All the martial arts forces in the North chose to surrender.

However, these weak mortals chose to stand with the Xingfeng Sect.

Looking at the increasing number of mortals gathering.

The eyes of many warriors from Xingfeng Sect instantly turned red.

Because many mortals are still their family members.

Wang Hu immediately burst into laughter:

"Who said there is no one in the North?"

More and more people gathered, and the number of mortals continued to increase.

Most of these mortals have benefited from the Xingfeng Sect.

Martial arts forces can surrender.

But it was useless for them, mortals, to surrender.

Once the Ningguo army enters the northern border.

Then even if these mortals in the North are not massacred, they will be completely enslaved.

For these mortals, the Wind Gate's control over the North brought them hope for life.

And now, the Ningguo army's attack on the northern border is undoubtedly preparing to wipe out the last hope for a better life in their hearts.

They certainly couldn't just stand there and watch.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

These people gathered here to prepare to face the Ningguo army together with the Xingfeng Sect.

Looking at the increasing number of mortals gathering, Ning Chen's face darkened.

Mortals are the symbol of the weakest no matter which country they are in.

Although there are also mortals in the army.

But those mortals were trained soldiers.

"Retreat!" Ning Chen raised his hand and shouted.

Immediately, he led his men back, and the army in the distance also began to retreat.

Ning Chen did not bring all the troops here.

Now in terms of numbers, Xingfengmen has more people than them.

The martial arts forces that surrendered in the North also followed Ning Chen back to Yunxiong Pass.

"Humph, just a few mortals, how can they resist an army of 600,000!"

Qin Liefeng showed disdain on his face.

These mortals look so fragile.

If a war really breaks out, the Ningguo army can easily massacre all these mortals.

Wang Hu did not ask anyone to stop Ning Chen and others from leaving.

Because if we start a war now, all these mortals will suffer.

After Ning Chen and his men disappeared in the distance.

Wang Hu bowed to the group of mortals:
"Wang Hu thanks all the villagers!"

The rest of the Xingfeng Sect warriors also bowed to the group of mortals.

For the warriors of Xingfengmen.

Although these mortals are weak, they give them confidence.

And let them know that they are not fighting alone.

Behind them, there is a group of people supporting them.

The old man with a cane came to Wang Hu and said to him:

"Elder Wang Hu, the North is our home. Protecting our home is the responsibility of everyone in the North."

"I am an old man. Even if I cannot kill anyone on the battlefield, I can still block the sword for the warriors of Xingfeng Sect!"

The others also spoke up.

"Yes, it is also our responsibility to protect our own home!"

"Anyway, the Ningguo army will massacre us when they come to the North, so we might as well fight them."

"Fight!"

"I've had enough of running away when there's a war!"

Seeing that all the mortals were full of fighting spirit, the morale of the Xingfeng Sect warriors was also boosted.

The previous malaise is no longer there.

Wang Hu looked at the mortal warriors and said:
"Everyone, the frontal battlefield is not suitable for you. Go and help move some stones over here, set up obstacles, and block the enemy army's advance!"

Wang Hu knew that letting these mortals go to the battlefield would be a death sentence.

As long as Ningguo’s cavalry charges.

Half of the mortals in the field will die.

It would be best to arrange for these mortals to help set up obstacles on the road.

Upon hearing this, the mortals around immediately took action and began to go to the nearby mountains to carry the stones.

For them, as long as they can help with the ventilation system, that’s enough.

They were willing to do whatever Wang Hu asked them to do.

Some Xingfengmen warriors also went to command mortals to move stones and trees to set up obstacles.

Wang Hu said to Mo Yang:

"You should also take your men with you and occupy a favorable position!"

Wang Hu knew that it would not be long before the Ningguo army arrived.

They must hurry.

On the other side, on the top of the mountain, Liu Qian was looking at the scene in the distance and was quite moved.

Mo Chen said:

"To my surprise, the warriors from the North surrendered, but these mortals stood with us."

Mo Chen was also very emotional.

Liu Qian murmured:
"Sometimes mortals value their homes more than warriors. They have already regarded the North as their home."

Liu Qian himself is a mortal, so of course he understands what mortals think.

Warriors can survive there.

But if ordinary people leave their homes and go to other places, survival becomes extremely difficult.

The series of measures taken by Xingfengmen after taking control of the northern border undoubtedly brought hope to these mortals.

But with the arrival of Ningguo's army, this hope was shattered again.

Even ordinary people would be forced to stand up and resist at this time.

Yunxiong Pass, Ning Chen had already brought his men back here.

A general next to him sneered and said:
"That's good too. These mortals from the northern border gather here, which makes it easier for us to kill them. We don't have to send troops to look for them later."

The other generals also smiled.

Naturally, they did not take those mortals from the North seriously.

Ning Chen did not smile, but said:
"I'll go contact the ancestor. Please wait again."

There is still one day left before the seven-day deadline mentioned by Xue Yangzi, but Ning Chen no longer wants to wait.

This wind gate is more complicated than he thought.

Ning Chen discovered this from his brief contact with Wang Hu and others.

He didn't even see any fear on the faces of the warriors from Xingfeng Sect.

This made him very uneasy.

If he was facing an attack by an army of 600,000, and he only had a few thousand people.

He would be terrified.

But this wind gate does not have that.

Ning Chen planned to contact Xue Yangzi and send troops to destroy the northern border today. There was no room for delay.
