Chapter 127 Storm Is Coming
After the spy brought the news that the enemy army was moving again, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake. The entire Jianghu Alliance instantly fell into a tense and depressing atmosphere. The nerves that had just relaxed a little because of the short-term victory were once again tense to the extreme.
After Lin Feng learned the news, he immediately summoned everyone to the hall to discuss countermeasures without any delay. This hall, which is usually solemn and dignified, is now filled with a heavy and anxious atmosphere. Everyone hurried over, and the expressions on their faces were all solemn and worried.
In the hall, the core members of the Jianghu Alliance sat around the huge sandalwood table. Lin Feng sat in the first seat, his brows were frowned into a deep "chuan" character, and his eyes revealed worry and determination. On both sides of him, Chen Fei, Li Yifeng, Sun Ming and other core disciples sat in turn. Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was so depressing that people could hardly breathe.
"According to the spies' report, the enemy army has regrouped this time, and its forces seem to be stronger than last time, and they are well-equipped." Lin Feng was the first to break the silence. His voice was heavy and serious, as if every word carried a thousand pounds of weight. His eyes slowly swept over everyone present, observing their reactions.
Chen Fei was furious when he heard this. He punched the table hard, and the solid sandalwood table trembled slightly. "These guys are really unwilling to give up. It seems that they are ready to fight us to the death this time." His face turned red because of anger, and his eyes were burning with rage. "We fight with them, and the worst case scenario is that we will die together!"
Li Yifeng was relatively calm. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Master, we must be fully prepared. Not only must we strengthen our defense, but we must also find ways to take the initiative and disrupt their deployment. If we just passively wait for the enemy's attack, we may fall into a more passive situation." His voice was steady and firm, revealing a calmness after careful consideration.
Sun Ming then expressed his opinion: "Yes, we can't always be in a passive defensive state. But we also need to be cautious when taking the initiative, and we can't fall into the enemy's trap. The enemy is coming with great momentum this time, and they must be well prepared. We must respond carefully and make a thorough plan." His expression was serious, and his eyes were full of worry about the situation.
Lin Feng listened carefully to everyone's speeches and nodded from time to time. He knew that at this critical moment, every decision was related to the life and death of the Jianghu Alliance.
"Everyone has a point. Chen Fei, you continue to strengthen the training of your disciples, and make sure that everyone can fight ten people with one. This battle will be more brutal, and we need every disciple to have strong combat effectiveness and tenacious will." Lin Feng looked at Chen Fei, his eyes full of trust and expectation.
Chen Fei stood up, clasped his hands together, and said loudly: "Master, rest assured, I will not fail in my mission! I will train my disciples more strictly and make them an indestructible iron army."
"Li Yifeng, go check the material reserves again to ensure that they are sufficient. Especially weapons and medicines, which are the key to our survival and victory in the battle. If there is a shortage, do everything you can to replenish them." Lin Feng then said to Li Yifeng.
Li Yifeng accepted the order: "Yes, Master. I will carefully check and ensure that there are no problems with the supply of materials."
"Sun Ming, you lead people to closely monitor the movements of the enemy and report immediately if there is any movement. The accuracy and timeliness of intelligence are crucial to our decision-making, and there must be no negligence." Lin Feng finally said to Sun Ming.
Sun Ming nodded solemnly: "Master, I understand. I will personally lead the most elite spies to monitor the enemy day and night and never miss any clues."
Everyone took the order and left, each busy.
Chen Fei returned to the training ground and trained his disciples more strictly. "Everyone, be alert. This time the enemy is stronger than ever before. If we don't fight hard, there will be only one way to go, and that is death!" His voice echoed in the training ground, deafening.
Under his supervision, the disciples trained harder. They were sweating profusely, but no one complained of being tired. Every move was precise and powerful. Some disciples fell down due to excessive fatigue, but they quickly got up and continued to train.
"The sword must be drawn quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly! Don't hesitate at all!" Chen Fei personally demonstrated the swordplay movements. His figure was as fast as a phantom, which stunned the disciples and also inspired them to fight harder.
Li Yifeng plunged into the warehouse and carefully counted the supplies. He took the account book and checked it one by one. "The food is enough to support two months, but it needs to be used sparingly. In terms of weapons, the number of bows and arrows is insufficient and needs to be replenished as soon as possible. Medicines also need to purchase some commonly used healing medicines." While recording, he thought about how to solve the problem of shortage of supplies.
Li Yifeng decided to send some disciples to the surrounding towns and villages to purchase supplies, and at the same time seek assistance from other sects and forces. He personally negotiated with those merchants, striving to obtain the necessary supplies at the most reasonable price.
Sun Ming led a team of people to hide in the mountains and forests near the enemy camp. They endured the bites of mosquitoes and bad weather conditions, monitoring the enemy's every move day and night.
Sun Ming observed the enemy's camp through a telescope, and saw that the enemy soldiers were training intensively, and new weapons and equipment were continuously transported into the camp.
"It seems that the enemy has spent a lot of money this time, and we must be more careful." Sun Ming whispered to the disciples around him.
A few days passed, and Sun Ming remained highly alert. Finally, he discovered the enemy's unusual behavior.
"No, the enemy has begun to gather, and it seems that they are about to set off." Sun Ming's heart tightened, and he immediately took his men back to the Jianghu Alliance.
They ran all the way without stopping. Sun Ming's clothes were torn by branches, and his face was covered with dust, but he didn't care about it.
After returning to the Jianghu Alliance, Sun Ming hurried to the hall.
"Master, the enemy has begun to move, and it seems that they are coming towards us." Sun Ming said breathlessly, his voice became hoarse because of the rush.
When Lin Feng heard this, his face became more serious. He immediately stood up and said loudly: "Pass my order, all disciples enter combat status!"
The disciples of the Jianghu Alliance quickly gathered, each holding a weapon, ready to fight. Their eyes were full of determination and courage, ready to meet the upcoming fierce battle.
Lin Feng stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. The wind was howling and messed up his hair, but his eyes were still firm. He secretly swore in his heart that he would protect the Jianghu Alliance and everyone's homeland no matter what.
At this moment, the enemy's horn sounded in the distance, low and long, like a call of death. The earth seemed to be shaking, foreshadowing that a bloody battle was about to begin...
