Because the Abyss Creatures that had appeared so far were not particularly powerful, Limit Douluo had taken part in the battle.
The battle lasted less than half an hour.
After suffering heavy losses among their low-level forces, the Abyss Creatures retreated once more.
This time, they withdrew even more thoroughly, falling back much farther.
They were clearly afraid of being affected by the Life Subtree's aura.
At the sight of this, cheers erupted from the Northern Legion.
How despairing they had been before!
Now that they had repelled the Abyss Creatures again, everyone saw a glimmer of victory and was overcome with excitement.
Many soldiers who had experienced that despair even burst into loud sobs after cheering.
The feeling of surviving a catastrophe was wonderful.
Being alive was wonderful.
Now that the Abyss Creatures had discovered the existence of the Life Subtree,
they would surely stop at nothing to seize it.
More powerful Abyss Creatures would definitely appear next.
Long Yuan stood atop the mountain, gazing in the direction of the Abyss Plane.
He remained ready for battle at all times.
Before long, the first batch of reinforcements arrived.
Amid waves of rumbling, more than three hundred large Soul Tool transport planes appeared in the distant sky.
Figures descended one after another, opening their parachutes and slowly drifting toward the Northern Legion's positions.
Those descending from the sky included ordinary soldiers, mecha pilots, and several high-end large-scale Soul Tools.
The three hundred transport planes had brought over thirty thousand elite soldiers, two Mecha Divisions, and a great deal of valuable supplies.
These were reinforcements from the Council Legion.
The Council Legion was the strongest legion and answered directly to the Federation Council.
Upon receiving word of the situation here, they had dispatched forces immediately.
No matter what conflicts
