The soldiers who had been chasing Lin Feng were not the only ones to obey the order and stop fighting, all the army without exception followed orders. Nobody dared to call the order into question. They hadn’t felt the slightest bit of hesitation.
“Mo Jie has such a strong influence on his troops.” thought Lin Feng when he saw that scene. The Mo Yue Country had the goal to make Mo Jie their national symbol, to make them worship him as a god amongst men. Mo Jie, obviously enjoyed such a prestigious reputation in Mo Yue.
There was no one who doubted his strength and talent.
Staying in such a chaotic situation and being unable act rationally could have led to heavy losses for their army. Gathering the troops together in one place was the best reaction to counter the enemies strategy. It would enable them to concentrate their strength and break free from the encirclement.
“Now, all we have to do is rely on Uncle Liu.” thought Lin Feng. Immediately after, he sheathed his sword and ran like mad through the flames. He was running shoulder to shoulder with the other troops towards the northern gate.
At that moment, even though the Mo Yue troops were trying to gather altogether, chaos was still present amongst them. Lin Feng was wearing a Mo Yue armor so there was no chance that anybody would find out who he was unless he attacked them.
Besides, it was impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to know every single face within the army.
At the northern gate, there was an unceasing rain of arrows falling from the sky. The strong cultivators of the Mo Yue Country had gathered there. Some of them could control ice, snow and water. Therefore, they could easily extinguish the fire. In the entire city of Duan Ren, the northern gate was the safest place but it was also covered in darkness.
But in a short time, about a hundred thousand troops had already gathered there and the number of people seemed to be increasing over time.
The crowd was extremely silent. They could distinctly hear the chaos in the distance as well as the people’s steps near them.
At that moment, Mo Jie was standing in front of the crowd looking towards the city gate and said while sounding indifferent: “Open the gate.”
“Open the gate.” shouted a high-ranking soldier. While the gate was being opened, a rumbling noises spread through the air.
“Five thousand elite cavalry, open the way and secure the path two kilometres ahead.” said Mo Jie. Some armored cavalry gathered, they urged on their horses and moved towards the exit of the city.
In the middle of the night, they couldn’t see a great deal so they also couldn’t see if they were running into an ambush. However, even in the case of an ambush, it was impossible for the entire army to get killed.
In the middle of the crowd, Lin Feng looked at the soldiers who were remaining calm. Mo Jie was truly terrifying.
Even at that moment, nobody was calling his orders in question. He was a true leader. Even at a moment when the sky seemed to be raining death down onto them, they remained calm and fearless.
