Five minutes later, Lin Wen arrived at the designated location and immediately understood why the "Immortal Guiding" would choose this spot for casting the spell.

To the east was a mountain, to the west was a mountain, and in the distance was a river. Only the middle road was the closest.

Lin Wen pressed his hands to the ground.

"Earth Splitting Spell"

The extreme pain caused by the casting penetrated his brain, and the visible red light sank into the ground, splitting the earth with a huge crack that quickly expanded into the distance.

There was no sound, only the earth and stones falling silently, as if someone had turned off the sound.

The spell lasted for eighteen seconds. If Lin Wen were a serious cultivator, he could use spiritual energy to extend the time without limit, strengthening the spell's effect until the land sank.

But now, Lin Wen was just an ordinary person using divine power to cast spells. The crack caused by this spell was only over thirty meters deep, less than twenty meters wide, and about seventeen hundred meters long.

For the 2400 points of good fortune consumed, the effect was truly minimal. Even ordinary people could easily cross this trench with just a little time.

Unfortunately, they didn't have that time.

When the second legion arrived, no one dared to believe their eyes.

"Where did this chasm come from?"

"Has there been an earthquake nearby?"

General Wang Jing and a group of officers got out of the car and looked at the twenty-meter-wide abyss in front of them, asking, "Is there a way to build a bridge?"

The officers all shook their heads. "That thing is heavy and we didn't bring it."

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

"How long would it take to go around?"

"It would take over thirty kilometers."

Wang Jing calculated in his mind. "No, there's not enough time. We only have five hours at most. After looting the last two towns, we have to reorganize and report the defeat to the Governor's Mansion."

He called his guards. "You, quickly go to the warehouse and bring the emergency folding bridge. The rest of you, stay here and prepare."

After about fifty minutes, the long bridge was brought back.

This military bridge was made of special steel and, when unfolded, was thirty-three meters long and six and a half meters wide. It was lightweight and sturdy, and could even accommodate light transport vehicles.

The soldiers worked together to set up the long bridge, and five of them were enough for the large army to pass through.

But.

Lin Wen, under the abyss, looked up at the narrow steel bridge crossing the sky and revealed a faint sneer.

He lightly jumped, clung to the rock wall like a cat, and with a leap, ascended several meters. Any protrusion on the rock wall could be used as a foothold, and after several leaps, he was close to the steel bridge.

The noise from outside was clearly audible. The hundreds of soldiers on the steel bridge made a rapid and chaotic sound like a crazy drumbeat, and no one looked down, unaware that the Angel of Death had already lurked in the shadows beneath their feet.

Lin Wen slightly bent his knees, gathered a little strength, and leaped out like a bird, turning in mid-air. Drawing his sword, a flying sword made of special material unsheathed, and the clear blade was like a pool of autumn water.

With a flash of the sword, a light sound, the special steel bridge broke, and several demon's feet also broke.

Blood splattered, and the steel bridge collapsed, accompanied by countless exclamations and screams as the soldiers on the bridge fell like dumplings.

Lin Wen landed on a slightly protruding rock wall, paused slightly, adjusted his direction, and leaped up again. With a flash of blue light in his hand, the second steel bridge broke.

The noisy sound from the shore continued, with countless people shouting loudly. Lin Wen was indifferent, leaping for the third time, swinging his sword for the third time, and breaking the third bridge.

Finally, heads appeared on the cliff, and someone shouted, "There's someone! There's someone under the bridge!"

"It's a special agent! It's a special operations unit! Soldiers! Soldiers! Fire!"

Lin Wen seemed unaware, jumping for the fourth time and cutting the fourth steel bridge.

Countless stings appeared on his back, and the enhanced "No Colorful Phoenix in Body" warned him earlier, allowing Lin Wen to face danger more calmly.

His figure was agile, leaping and running on the cliff, and countless gunshots rang out, but not a single shot hit him.

Suddenly, he leaped, and this figure, more agile than an ape, cut off their last steel bridge amidst the gunfire and rain of bullets.

The thirty-meter-deep canyon was no longer illuminated by the slanting sunlight.

Lin Wen quickly descended, his figure disappearing into the darkness. The gunfire continued for a while before stopping.

Darkness and silence enveloped him. Thirty meters deep, most of the muffled sounds were isolated. Lin Wen looked up at the narrow sky, and after some time, finally, the sound reached the bottom of the abyss.

It was a noisy mix of gunfire, voices, footsteps, and incredulous exclamations.

Lin Wen knew the time was right. With a swift movement, he pounced up, jumping up the over thirty meters high cliff in just a few seconds.

Under the gloomy sky, a faint cold light shrouded the battlefield. All Lin Wen could see were the swaying black shadows. He drew his long sword, and that clear light instantly became the brightest color on the battlefield.

The annihilation battle lasted for three hours. Over ninety thousand people were almost defenseless, and in order to carry more spoils of war, half of the soldiers didn't even have guns. All heavy weapons and supplies were abandoned or not carried.

They were on the plain, without cover, without depth, crowded together without formation. When over forty thousand armed soldiers from Changshan County caught up, they didn't even realize that these soldiers who had been acting with them were there to kill them.Therefore, when the battle commenced, it was almost a one-sided situation. Their resistance, feeble as lambs, was crushed in the blink of an eye, leaving only soldiers scrambling and fleeing in panic, cries of "Run!" and "We're on the same side!" echoing everywhere.

In the end, over fifty thousand were annihilated, more than thirty thousand were captured, and only a handful managed to escape, including the legion commander Wang Jing.

Among the over fifty thousand who perished, at least ten thousand died from being pushed off cliffs while fleeing. This seemingly insignificant crevice in Lin Wen's eyes became a nightmarish death line for these ninety thousand men.

"Human beings are really too inconvenient."

Lin Wen looked at the corpses strewn across the field, the numerous figures cleaning up the battlefield, and thought to himself.

"I don't want to be human anymore; I must become an immortal quickly."

Eliminating traitors and evil, good karma +6410.

Indiscriminate killing, bad karma +3.

Fortunately, the bad karma from over fifty thousand people was only 3 points. Expanding the army was indeed my best decision.

As long as it's not about ordering the massacre of civilians and other direct evil deeds, bad karma mostly doesn't trace back to him, because it's a "public killing," with only public enmity, no personal grudges.

And the good karma doesn't decrease too much.

【Good Karma: 72531】【Bad Karma: 63】【Yuan Shen: 211.36%】

Lin Wen was slightly worried; his bad karma had suddenly risen to 63, the reduction in fortune equivalent to the increase in fortune from 6300 points of good karma.

What a loss.

Lin Wen thought to himself: "I need to quickly strengthen Yosuga No Sora to cleanse my bad karma, as I'm about to reincarnate. The less bad karma, the better."

Fang Dashan and the others were unaware of Lin Wen's thoughts. They were joyfully cleaning up the battlefield, their spoils far exceeding the total of all past gains, with countless seized firearms, ammunition, and various military supplies.

From now on, Changshan County no longer had to worry about a lack of military equipment and could confidently expand its army on a large scale.

Rock State.

Long Town.

Chang Shengkai, who had just arrived at the Second Legion's station, hadn't even sat down when he received this devastating news.

And when more detailed intelligence arrived, Chang Shengkai's anger peaked, furiously berating Wang Jing, who knelt before him.

"Over ninety thousand men, defeated by just over forty thousand in three hours, it's a miracle in modern warfare history! Three hours, even if there were ninety thousand pigs on the battlefield, the bandits of Changshan couldn't possibly kill them all."

Wang Jing's face was pale, his forehead beaded with sweat. He moved his lips but said nothing.

In his heart, however, he believed that the defeat was due to the last-minute change in formation, which led to chaos and collisions among the fleeing soldiers.

Had they stuck to the original formation, they wouldn't have wasted so much time and might have escaped earlier, or even had the chance to regroup and turn the tables on the enemy.

But he couldn't say that, or his fate would only be worse. After the governor had finished his tirade, Wang Jing immediately said, "We have found a lot of evidence..."

This news successfully quelled some of the governor's anger, but when he presented all the evidence, the governor became even angrier.

Because all the photos, recordings, and video evidence depicted invaders that looked like an army belonging to the Golan Revival Party.

The Golan Revival Party was a troublesome organization, full of religious fanatics due to complex religious hatred, and no one wanted to provoke them.

Faced with the governor's questioning, Wang Jing gave a foolish response: "Isn't that the insignia of Changshan County on the rotten revival party?"

Chang Shengkai almost executed the man on the spot, and when he realized that there were no military forces left to mobilize in the southern part of Rock State, he truly wanted to dispose of this waste.

But that was not an option. If this waste had died in battle, it would have been one thing, but if he had returned alive only to be killed by the governor, the other military leaders would only become more alienated.

Anyway, his troops were gone, at least one internal threat was removed, and the governor's power was more secure, which was also a good thing.

At this point, it was too late to call in troops from other regions. They could only watch helplessly as the bandits of Changshan County cleaned up the battlefield, collected the spoils, and moved the last bit of grain from the Mengyin Town warehouse.

However, Chang Shengkai was not willing to suffer such a loss. He urgently ordered Mao Renfeng to send spies to gather more evidence along the way, trying to find irrefutable proof that the army was disguised by Changshan County.

But how could the spies of the Statistics Bureau be compared to the agents of the KGB?

Just like every special operation against Changshan County, the spy chief of Rock State was no match for the spy chief of Changshan County.

After leaving behind more than thirty corpses, the spies of the Statistics Bureau dared not approach within twenty kilometers of Changshan County's forces.

However, despite the huge defeat, Mao Renfeng still managed to obtain photos of Changshan County's cargo ships and, by bribing some of Changshan County's building material suppliers, got many photos of the cargo ships unloading at the docks.

From these photos, it was clear that the cargo unloaded from the ships included large quantities of flour, a vast amount of military weapons, and even escorted prisoners.

In Chang Shengkai's view, this was already conclusive evidence. He immediately ordered an envoy, carrying all the evidence, to head to the imperial capital and accuse Changshan County before the Supreme Elders' Council, hoping to emulate the pseudo-governor of Ze State, Wu Jing Tang, in plotting a rebellion.
