On the battlefield, Liu Bang looked at the 100,000 Roman soldiers fighting desperately against the slave army and couldn't help but feel puzzled. By now, he had conquered most of Rome's cities and searched half of them. Rome had very few soldiers left who could still fight, and even fewer men who could go to the battlefield. It could be said that Rome was close to the brink of destruction. These 100,000 soldiers were practically Rome's last army, and there were even quite a few women mixed in with them. Why would the Roman rulers send them to their deaths? Even if they were to be sent to their deaths, it shouldn't be at this time.
'Those undead soldiers haven't joined the battle yet.' On the other side of the battlefield, the Roman general looked at the undead soldiers in the distance who hadn't yet joined the battle and were only acting as overseers, and his heart grew anxious. But he was helpless, because they were already struggling to deal with these hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers. The war had long since depleted their regular army, and his 100,000-strong army was even weaker than these slave soldiers.
"There must be some kind of conspiracy." Looking at this Roman army that seemed to have come to their deaths, Liu Bang frowned even more. He looked around again, but he couldn't see anything wrong. The generals from the cloak of filth also didn't find anything wrong. The surrounding area was almost entirely open fields. Although it wasn't the kind where you could see for miles, you could still see very far. So far, there was nothing wrong. Dozens of kilometers away were continuous mountain ranges, making it almost impossible to ambush them. Moreover, if there were an ambush, it should have been waiting until they entered the mountains. The nearest mountain was more than ten kilometers away.
"Rumble..." Just as Liu Bang was wondering, a rumbling sound came from the mountains closest to the battlefield, and the earth began to tremble slightly.
"Oh no!" Upon hearing this sound and looking at the surrounding mountains, Liu Bang's expression changed drastically. He quickly pulled out a map, and upon examining it, his face turned ashen. Having practiced ninjutsu with Lü Zhi, Liu Bang was very familiar with this sound; it was a flood. And here they were in a vast basin, near the Po River, Rome's largest river. Being in the center of the basin, they had no way to escape, nor any chance to escape.
Everything was already clear, but by the time they realized it, it was too late. Rome had blocked or diverted their largest river, and the Roman rulers intended to drown them all in this basin. These 100,000 Roman soldiers were there to die, to keep them tied down in the center of the basin, and to give them no time to escape.
"Retreat!" Liu Bang shouted immediately, spurring his horse to gallop towards the mountains in another direction. Seeing this, the soldiers and generals of the corrupted land abandoned their slave troops and quickly followed Liu Bang towards the distant mountains.
As the roar of the torrent grew louder, the terrifying floodwaters in the distance finally revealed their ferocious form, surging into the basin from between several mountains.
At this moment, the chaotic battlefield fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at the floodwaters rushing over the mountainside. Even the Roman soldiers were stunned. The next moment, everyone began to flee in panic.
"I hope it will succeed." Watching the floodwaters rush into the basin, the Roman general smiled, raised his sword, and plunged it into his chest. His mission was complete.
Such a massive flood was like a beast that devoured everything in its path, consuming everything in its path at a speed far exceeding that of a horse.
"It's over." Liu Bang, who had already abandoned his horse and was desperately trying to escape using his physical skills, looked at the approaching flood and listened to the sound of the flood. His face gradually turned desperate. He knew that he couldn't escape either.
After Liu Bang was swept away by the flood, the sky quickly darkened again, and dark clouds gathered. In a short while, a torrential downpour began, but the planetary will did not intervene to save Liu Bang. As the floodwaters mixed with the rain, the bodies of the corrupted soldiers swept into the torrent began to disintegrate, never to regenerate.
————————————————————
The Goguryeo army and its people were like ants that could never be killed, constantly sacrificing their lives for the chance to eliminate the corrupt Qin soldiers. Not only that, the slave army in the rear had somehow gotten wind of the war and rushed to join the battle at dusk, fighting desperately against the corrupt Qin army. And throughout the night, small groups of men and women continued to arrive.
The increasing number of enemies was the last thing Lü Zhi wanted to see, and it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. After a day and a night of fighting, the war was nearing its end. The reanimated soldiers were gradually being eliminated, and Lü Zhi, who had been constantly using ninjutsu and taijutsu, was already very tired.
The sparse morning sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, illuminating the earth. Looking at the fewer than five hundred reanimated soldiers remaining and the dense horde of enemies surrounding them, Lü Zhi knew this was likely her end. Her energy was almost depleted; she couldn't even unleash a large-scale water-based technique. Escape was impossible.
She couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope—hope that Wang Han would come to her rescue, and hope to see Yi Xiaochuan again. But she knew neither was possible. Wang Han wouldn't save her, and Yi Xiaochuan wouldn't be here; she was destined to die here today.
Looking at the gloomy sky and the corpses scattered everywhere, Lü Zhi had already guessed why Wang Han wouldn't act easily. It was because of Heaven and Earth; Wang Han feared that too much killing would incur divine retribution. They still naively believed that Wang Han would wait until they found what he wanted before taking action against them, unaware that from the very beginning, Wang Han only saw them as expendable resources, just like these immortal soldiers, using them to consume the population of these countries.
