“We will be mobilizing some of our best fighting forces, mainly from Shrek Academy, but we need someone to stay back as well in order to prevent the Spirit Pagoda from moving against us while we’re gone. After all, they’re willing to do anything.” As he was speaking, Tang Wulin looked toward the people from Shrek Academy.

Long Yeyue said calmly, “Don’t look at me. I’ll be at the frontline of this battle for sure.”

Yali smiled. “I can save the lives of countless people if I’m there.” She was right. Any of them could stay back, but the greatest recovery-type soul master on the continent definitely had to go. Countless people would benefit from her presence.

Tang Wulin then looked at the father and son, Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang.

Yuanen Tiandang said coldly, “I loathe the extra clan the most.”

Yuanen Zhentian said, “Our side has already decided that all three of us will be going there while the rest of our clansmen stay back to protect Shrek.” Besides him and Yuanen Tiandang, the other person was Yuanen Tianshang naturally. He was a Title Douluo-ranked fighter as well.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Tang Wulin. The determination in his eyes alone told him many things.

Tang Wulin looked at Lan Muzi and Tang Yingmeng. “Senior disciple brother, senior disciple sister, you...”

Lan Muzi smiled and said, “Wulin, there’s no need for you to be worried about the Spirit Pagoda for the time being. If they still have the courage to play some small tricks when we’re fighting against such a formidable enemy, the Federation won’t forgive them either. Moreover, we have the powerful Soul Circuit Defense System. It won’t be easy for them to attack us. As a result, I think that everyone here should go to the frontline, except for the students. We will need to mobilize some elite soul masters from among our teachers too.”

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly glimmered for a moment. “Everyone, I have a suggestion. What do you think of allowing the Seven Holy Abyss to manage the academy temporarily?”

The people from Shrek Academy had a peculiar expression on their faces instantly.

The seven Old Demons from there could not leave the Seven Holy Abyss. As a result, it was apparent that they could not go to the frontline.

Whatever the case, it would be hard to tell what the consequences would be when Shrek Academy was temporarily managed by the seven of them!

“It seems like we have no other choice,” said Long Yeyue.

Tang Wulin said, “Alright. I shall communicate with the seven seniors then. Your Excellency Heartless, how about our Tang Sect?”

The Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi said in a deep voice, “I’ve already sent someone to mobilize our resources. We will use what is needed. We can form an elite squadron made up of about two thousand soldiers from the Tang Sect. Even though it is not a large number of people, I can guarantee the fighting capacity is enough. We shall join all of you, including both of us. Everyone will join hands and work together. I have the most experience dealing with abyssal creatures. Wulin, remember this. From now on, there can never be less than four Limit Douluos with you at any time. Please allow me to remind everyone, it’s important that we protect Tang Wulin properly regardless of whether we can achieve victory in this war.”

The Amorous Douluo continued to speak, “The most troublesome part about the abyssal creatures is their undead ability. The dead abyssal creatures will turn into destruction energy which returns to the abyssal plane for resurrection. Only Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Spear can kill them in a real sense. Hence, we can confirm that the abyssal creatures want to kill Wulin the most. There are a total of one hundred and eight levels of the abyss with plenty of powerhouses. As long as we can protect Wulin, we will have a chance to slowly absorb them.”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked astonished.

This was because even the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters were unaware of the situation in the abyss. They were all just finding out that these creatures were so difficult to kill.

Tang Wulin nodded and said, “I will be careful as well. Given how pressing the matter is, we need to try our best to suppress the abyssal plane. We can’t allow them to continue to spread and plunge the people into suffering. I am curious as to what the situation is there. I will be applying for permission from the military headquarters so we can immediately begin our operation after we get there.”

The Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi nodded and said, “Alright then. Let’s prepare separately and do it as fast as we can. Then, we shall head to the frontline.”

The group stood up in succession. Everyone was heavy-hearted. They knew that it was hard to predict what the situation with the abyssal creatures would be like, but it was highly possible that they would not return from this.

It was relatively simple with Shrek Academy, as they only face the issue of having enough numbers. It was much more complicated with the Tang Sect. The entire Tang Sect was mobilized within the shortest period of time. In order to fight against the abyssal creatures, no one would try to conceal anything at this point. Many secrets would be unveiled for this.

The continent immediately thrown into a commotion. The eight federal army corps were all activated. Other than some essential officers that stayed behind for the garrison, all sorts of military materials were mobilized at full speed and readied to be sent to the frontline.

Luck was on their side, as adequate expedition supplies had already been prepared for their previously planned invasion of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire. As a result, it was much easier to mobilize these supplies to fight against the abyssal creatures.

Due to the lockdown of information, the common people were unaware that the continent was under a life-and-death threat now. They continued to live in a calm, routine manner. However, they would frequently see row after row of military vehicles swiftly driving toward the north on some of the major roads.

In the command post of the Northern Army Corps, the middle-aged general with two stars pinned to his shoulders furiously roared at the military-grade communicator in his hand.

“What? Say that again?”

“Lieutenant general, the...the third defense line has been breached. We can’t hold it anymore. Requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcement! It’s horrifying. These creatures are crazy. We...we can’t hold them at all. They were charging wildly without any fear of death, like an endless sea. Reinforcements. Requesting reinforcements. Requesting reinforcements.”

“You must hold it back. Hold it back for me no matter what.” The lieutenant general hung up the communicator. The expression on his face had turned cold beyond comparison.

As the regimental commander of the Northern Army Corps, Guo Zhenfeng was considered young and promising in the military headquarters. He was a rising star with a very bright future, on par with Shen Yue. He was also the successor of his clan in a military family.

Guo Zhenfeng was only forty-five years old and had already been promoted to the honorable lieutenant general rank. It was enough to prove his capability even if much of it was due to the help from his clan. He was the regimental commander of one of the eight great army corps, so he was definitely the true leader of the military that guarded the north.

Conversely, the Northern Army Corps was the weakest of the eight great army corps because their potential enemy was not as much of a threat.

The garrison at the north was actually meant to defend the northern ice sheet. The ice sheet could not be developed, but there were some ice soul beasts that survived from ancient times. These soul beasts were extremely unified and would head out to hunt occasionally. The Northern Army Corps’ purpose was mainly to guard against them. As a result, the army corps’ fighting forces were relatively weaker than the others.

Despite the situation, the entire army corps had six divisions under its command. The number of soldiers and support personnel amounted to over one hundred thousand people. It was a military-grade organizational system for all its worth.

The Northern Army Corps had encountered the abyssal creatures first. When they received the reports from the villages at the northern side, Guo Zhenfeng’s first reaction was refusal to believe that such a situation was possible.

The villages reported that the soul beasts were attacking in a massive swarm. Guo Zhenfeng was well aware that there were numerous soul beasts on the northern ice sheet, but it was definitely not such a large number. Unless the soul beasts had gone mad, why would they possibly attack humans?

The high-ranking soul beasts were intelligent. They were well aware of the disparity between them and mankind. The soul beasts were truly dooming themselves by launching a large-scale attack on a human settlement.

Despite his doubts, he mobilized a mecha troop for reinforcement at once and sent them to seal the place up.
