Many were very happy. They bought a sesame seed cake and rushed out of the city gate to the home of the villager where they were staying.

In high spirits, many people did not notice that there was no smoke coming from the village chimneys, and that a group of uninvited guests had appeared.

"What are you doing! Show me your travel permit!"

Many were puzzled, looking at the prison van and the people inside shouting for them to be released, assuming they were arresting escaped criminals.

The armored soldiers put away his travel permit and then announced loudly, "The King of Wu is conscripting soldiers! Anyone over ten years of age should be drafted!"

"Huh?! No?! I'm not, I'm a doctor?! Ah! I don't want to join the army!!!"

Many resisted, but were still thrown into the prison van. He gripped the wooden bars and kept pounding on them, crying out, "I can go to Baicaotang as a doctor tomorrow, you can't arrest me!"

The soldier glanced at it and said in a nonchalant tone, "Perfect, go to the barracks and be a doctor."

He called for help from all four directions in the open air, his voice hoarse from shouting, but not a single soldier paid him any attention.

"Friend, save your energy, they won't care no matter how much you shout."

Zhang Ertian initially made a fuss, but now he's starting to wonder whether the barracks provide meals or not.

Many ignored them and continued shouting, hoping the NPCs would realize they had arrested the wrong person. But even after they were dragged to the barracks and shackled, he still couldn't get them to let him go.

"Behave yourselves, and behave yourselves now. Get your shackles off as soon as possible. You'll be the squad leader. If anyone tries to run away, you'll all be punished."

Because Zhang Ertian stopped causing trouble, the soldiers appointed him as the leader of the ten-man squad. The ten men's anklets were linked together, one on each foot.

[Holy crap, what is this?! What are all these things?!]

[The system of collective punishment is absolutely outrageous! These contestants are truly pitiful. Wu's poison master Xie Yanhua was planning a surprise attack on Zhao while Wei was attacking Zhao, but these contestants were instead captured and sent to the battlefield. They've suffered an undeserved misfortune.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, is this really real? Last time, the "Ten Thousand Yuan Household" incident was triggered by the production team. This time, even the contestants' strategies can influence the triggering of events? That makes the gameplay so unpredictable!]

[I'm completely bewildered looking at this map. Wu and Zhao are adjacent, as are Wei and Wei. Wei is going to attack Zhao, Zheng is preparing to launch a surprise attack on Wei, and Wu is planning to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Zhao. Zhao seems to be in a really bad situation!]

"That's right, they were attacked by Wei, and then they were ambushed by Wu on the other side."

Isn't Wei also going to be attacked?

[This wasn't even a war started by the State of Wei; they deserved to be attacked.]

Holy crap, a fight's about to start!!!

With so many soldiers in Wei, it seems Zhao is outnumbered.

[Haha, the Wei Kingdom just won a battle, but their base was raided, and they were forced to retreat before they could even occupy the cities they had won.]

[The Wu Kingdom is quite the sixth-best. While the two kingdoms were fighting, they remained still, quietly waiting. As soon as the fighting ended, they issued a challenge and attacked the city an hour later. Absolutely brilliant!]

【Huh?! Huh?! ...

Am I seeing things?!

【Are you seeing things? Someone's cheating!!! I'm reporting someone for cheating!!!】

[Is this NPC really that strong?! With such powerful generals in Zhao, how dare Wei provoke them?!]

Wait, why didn't the Zhao state allow this soldier to fight against the Wei state?

This doesn't seem to be an NPC; it looks like a contestant.

Holding a soft-tipped prop longsword, Chen Ai relied on her brute strength to take down enemies one by one. Plastic arms, thighs, heads, and red liquid thrown out by the prop team covered the entire battlefield. She felt her blood begin to boil, and she seemed to hear the kind of sand-like sound that she used to hear only in the arena. It was so quiet that she could only hear the sounds around her within a meter.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four cuts, five cuts...

The red liquid splashed onto her face, adding to her chilling aura. People around the battlefield began to notice this side and moved away, creating a vacuum around Chen Ai.

Chen Ai lifted the great cauldron on the golden platform to receive her title. She then had a brief training session with the NPC generals. As expected, she had forgotten many details, such as swordsmanship and movement techniques. It seemed that once she entered the battlefield, all she had left was brute force and mechanical movements that she could not stop.

She fought her way to the Wu generals, blade by blade, seeing the fear and panic in their eyes. Her body's condition would change, but she couldn't stop; she had to press on relentlessly. She didn't pause, but the Wu commander had already mounted his horse and galloped far away.

She looked at the person leading the horse beside her, thought for a while, and gave up the chase, because she couldn't ride a horse.

"What?! You lost?! Are you kidding me?! How could you lose when you outnumbered the enemy?!"

Xie Yanhua was completely distraught after hearing the head coach's report.

It was a game they were certain to win, so how did they lose?! The king was too merciful, and the production team was the same, not allowing those tricks to be used.

"The State of Zhao must have anticipated our attack, and specially dispatched a general to guard the area. He was incredibly fierce, killing hundreds of people in succession. We simply couldn't hold them off! Thank you, Mr. Xie!"

Xie Yanhua frowned. "What general?"

"Height... 1.8 meters, no, 1.9 meters, immense strength, burly build, thick and powerful waist, shoulders as broad as small hills..."

Xie Yanhua became increasingly speechless as he listened. At first, he could still analyze the situation and try to recall which general from the Zhao state it was, but as the exaggerated statements came on, he realized that this general could not possibly be like this. He didn't sound like an ordinary person; it was as if they were rubbing his intelligence into the ground.

[Haha, Xie Yanhua has finally suffered a setback, and the King of Wu must be relieved.]

The person's description left me completely stunned. 1.9 meters tall?! Chen Ai is 1.9 meters tall?! o(*￣︶￣*)o

[Don't even mention Chen Ai, who else could be as big as Xiao Shanqiu?!]

It has to be said, in these times, merit in battle still leads to rapid promotion.

"Indeed, while the other strategists are still racking their brains, the one fighting here has already become a general."

Xie Yanhua felt that this battle had already moved outside the center of power.

[Haha, Xie Yanhua probably can't figure out how his sneak attack failed, right? O(∩_∩)O haha~]

[The other sixth son, Ji Rong of Zheng, successfully launched a sneak attack; Wei is truly in a sorry state.]

Xie Yanhua was grinding his teeth in frustration. How could they possibly fail?! They issued the challenge an hour early, and Wei and Zhao were already at war. How could they possibly have the troops to fight Wu?!

There must be some detail he overlooked.

"Mr. Xie, please have the house tidied up by this afternoon."

"knew."

Xie Yanhua gritted his teeth and replied. These people really are opportunistic and sycophantic. He's only temporarily down on his luck, yet they want to move out of the inner courtyard. He'll remember this.
