Wavering the Army's Morale?

"Branch Hall Master, Flying Tiger Hall has made its move! Nearly two hundred Black Tiger Guards from among Flying Tiger Hall's Four Great Tiger Guards have surrounded our branch hall's Spirit Crystal Defense Zone. The situation is extremely dangerous!" Deputy Branch Hall Master Luo Shanhan cried out.

Ye Zhen frowned slightly. He had only just taken office, and Flying Tiger Hall had already launched an attack. Was this a coincidence, or had it been premeditated?

"Had Flying Tiger Hall launched any attacks against our branch hall before this?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.

Luo Shanhan did not answer Ye Zhen's question. Instead, he urged, "Branch Hall Master Ye, although the Spirit Crystal Defense Zone is our branch hall's smallest defense zone, it is also the most important one.

"However, there are not many martial artists stationed there—only fifteen Pulse Forging Realm martial artists and thirty Soul Sea Realm martial artists. Although they can hold out for a while by relying on the formation and the terrain, they absolutely will not last long."

"Now that Flying Tiger Hall is attacking in force, we must make a decision immediately!" Luo Shanhan emphasized.

Ye Zhen knew about the division of the defense zones Luo Shanhan mentioned. This was also the greatest problem currently facing the Crimson Fire Branch Hall of the Sun Moon Divine Cult.

After annexing thirty percent of Myriad Stars Tower's territory in Chihuo Martial City, the Crimson Fire Branch Hall's defensive territory had expanded at breakneck speed.

They were the Eastern Ore Vein Defense Zone, the Southern Ore Vein Defense Zone, and the Northern Spirit Crystal Defense Zone.
