Chapter 388. The War in the South (1)
The eighth month, the middle of summer, was also coming to an end.
The Dark Heavens Association's force had originally been about nine thousand. However, over the past few months, they had expanded their numbers by releasing secret martial manuals or encouraging betrayals mainly from small and medium-sized sects. The number of new forces they had gained through their efforts was as much as six thousand.
In an instant, their forces had grown to fifteen thousand.
The Dark Heavens Association boldly divided fourteen thousand of their fifteen thousand troops into two groups of seven thousand and sent them marching to the North and South.
To the north was Henan, and to the south, Jiangxi. Their destination was, of course, the base of the Righteous and Evil Alliance.
Fortunately, the Righteous and Evil Alliance had already finished reorganizing in preparation for this decisive battle. Their allied forces had also taken their positions along their respective borders.
In the northeastern part of Hefei, or rather Anhui, the Hebei Peng Family, the Shaolin Temple, the Mount Hua Sect, the Zhongnan Sect, the Sichuan Tang Family, and the Murong Family had gathered.
In the south across the Yangtze River Basin, the Nangong Family, the Zhuge Family, the Wudang Sect, the Emei Sect, and the Qingcheng Sect gathered.
The Martial Alliance, Evil Valley, and the Gold Will Sword Sect were evenly spread out across the North and South.
