Chapter 287 I Don’t Want to Be a Human Anymore
Five minutes later, Lin Wen arrived at the designated location and immediately understood why [Immortal Pointing the Way] chose this as the casting point.
There is a mountain to the east, a mountain to the west, and a river in the distance. Only the road in the middle is the shortest.
Lin Wen pressed his hands to the ground.
Earthshatter
The severe pain caused by the spell that far exceeded the limit penetrated his brain. The red light visible to the naked eye sank into the ground, splitting the earth. A huge crack appeared on the surface and quickly expanded into the distance.
There was no sound, only the sound of earth and rocks falling down, and the earth was silently cracking, as if someone had turned off the stereo.
The spell lasted for eighteen seconds. If Lin Wen was a serious cultivator, he could use his spiritual energy to extend this time indefinitely and strengthen the spell's effect until the land sank.
But now, Lin Wen is just a mortal who uses his soul to cast a spell. The crack caused by this spell is only more than 30 meters deep, less than 20 meters wide, and about 5,700 meters long.
Considering the 2,400 points of good karma it consumes, the effect is really negligible.
Even mortals can easily cross this gap if given a little time.
Unfortunately, you don’t have this time anymore.
When the Second Imperial Army Corps arrived here, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
"Where did this rift come from?"
“Has there been an earthquake around here?”
Corps Commander Wang Jing and a group of officers got out of the car, looked at the 20-meter-wide abyss before them, and asked, "Is there any way to build a bridge?"
The officers all shook their heads: "That thing is heavy and bulky, we didn't bring it with us."
"How long will it take to get around?"
"We have to walk more than 30 kilometers."
Wang Jing did some calculations and said, "No, we won't have enough time. We only have five hours at most. After we rob the last two towns, we must reorganize and report our defeat to the Governor's Office."
He called his personal guards and said, "You, drive quickly to the warehouse and bring the emergency folding bridge over. The rest of you, repair it here."
Fifty minutes later, the long bridge was brought back.
This military long bridge is made of special steel. When unfolded, it is 33 meters long and 6.5 meters wide. It is light and strong, and can even pass light transport vehicles.
A group of soldiers worked together to build the long bridge. Five long bridges were enough for the large army to pass through normally.
but.
Lin Wen, who was lying in the abyss, looked up at the steel bridge that crossed the narrow sky and sneered.
He jumped lightly, climbed onto the rock wall like a cat, and leaped up several meters.
Any protrusion on the rock wall could serve as leverage for him, and after a few leaps and bounds, he was close to the steel bridge.
The noise outside was clearly audible, and the rumbling sound of hundreds of soldiers stepping on the steel bridge was as rapid and chaotic as a crazy drumbeat. No one looked down, unaware that death was lurking in the shadows under their feet.
Lin Wen bent his knees slightly, gathered some strength, and leaped up. His body flew out like a big bird. He drew his sword with his right hand, and the flying sword made of special materials was unsheathed. The clear sword edge flashed by like a pool of autumn water.
With a slight sound, the special steel bridge broke, and along with it, the feet of several demons also broke.
Blood splattered and the steel bridge collapsed. Accompanied by countless exclamations and screams, the soldiers on the bridge fell like dumplings.
Lin Wen landed on a protruding rock wall, paused slightly, adjusted his direction, and jumped up again. With a flash of green light in his hand, the second steel bridge broke in the middle.
There was constant noise on the shore, and countless people shouted loudly, but Lin Wen turned a deaf ear to them. He jumped over for the third time, swung his sword for the third time, and the third bridge broke.
Finally, a head appeared on the cliff, and someone shouted, "There's someone! There's someone under the bridge!"
"It's an agent! It's a special operations unit! Soldiers! Soldiers! Shoot!"
Lin Wen seemed unaware and jumped for the fourth time, cutting through the fourth steel bridge.
Countless stings appeared on his back. The enhanced version of [Without Colorful Phoenix] gave an earlier warning, allowing Lin Wen to face the danger more calmly.
He was agile and ran and jumped on the cliff. Countless gunshots rang out, but none of them hit him.
With a leap, this figure, more agile than a monkey, cut off their last steel bridge amidst the hail of bullets.
Lin Wen sank quickly, his figure disappearing into the darkness. The gunshots continued for a long time before stopping.
The canyon is thirty meters deep, and the slanting sunlight can no longer reach the bottom.
Darkness and silence enveloped him. A depth of thirty meters was enough to block out most of the quiet sounds. Lin Wen looked up at the narrow sky. After an unknown amount of time, a sound finally reached the bottom of the abyss.
It was a noisy mixture of gunfire, voices, footsteps and exclamations of disbelief.
Lin Wen knew that the time had come, and he jumped up with incredible speed. He jumped up the cliff, which was more than 30 meters high, in just a few seconds.
Under the gloomy sky, a dim cold light enveloped the battlefield, and all Lin Wen could see were swaying black shadows.
He drew out his sword, and the clear light instantly cut off the demons around him.
The annihilation battle lasted for three hours. More than 90,000 people had almost no resistance. In order to carry more spoils, half of the soldiers did not even have guns, and all heavy weapons and supplies were abandoned or not carried.
They were on the plain, with no cover, no depth, huddled together, and no formation. When more than 40,000 Changshan County soldiers armed to the teeth caught up with them, they didn't even realize that these soldiers who were acting with them were here to kill them.
Therefore, when the battle began, it was almost one-sided. Their sheep-like resistance was crushed in the blink of an eye, leaving only soldiers running away like wolves and pigs, and voices crying "Run" and "We are our own people" everywhere.
In the end, more than 50,000 people were wiped out, more than 30,000 were captured, and only a very small number escaped, including the legion commander Wang Jing.
Among the more than 50,000 people who were wiped out, at least 10,000 were pushed off the cliff and died while fleeing. This crack in the ground, which looked very small to Lin Wen, became a nightmarish line of death for these more than 90,000 people.
"Humans are so inconvenient."
Lin Wen looked at the corpses all over the field and the countless figures cleaning up the battlefield, and thought to himself.
"I don't want to be a human anymore. I want to become an immortal as soon as possible."
Eliminate evil and gain good karma +6410.
Indiscriminate killing, bad karma +3.
Fortunately, there were only 3 bad karmas, so expanding the army was indeed my best choice.
As long as he did not commit a direct vicious incident such as ordering the massacre of civilians, most of the bad karma could not be traced back to him, because this was a "public killing", there was only public hatred, no private grudge.
But good karma will not decrease too much.
[Good Karma: 72531] [Bad Karma: 63] [Spirit: 211.36%]
Lin Wen was a little worried, as his bad karma suddenly increased to 63.
What a huge loss.
Lin Wen thought to himself, "I need to quickly strengthen [Essence of Emptiness] to wash away my bad karma. I'm about to reincarnate, so the less bad karma I have, the better."
Fang Dashan and others were unaware of Lin Wen's thoughts. They were happily cleaning up the battlefield. The gains from this battle far exceeded the total of all the spoils obtained in the past. Countless guns, ammunition and various military supplies were seized.
From now on, Changshan County no longer has to worry about the lack of armaments and can expand its military on a large scale with confidence.
Shizhou.
Cage Town.
Gu Xuanli, who had just arrived at the Second Imperial Army Corps’ base, received this terrible news before he even sat down.
When more detailed information arrived, Gu Xuanli's anger reached its peak and he cursed Wang Jing who was kneeling in front of him.
"More than 90,000 people were completely wiped out by more than 40,000 people in three hours. This is simply a miracle in the history of war!"
Wang Jing's face was pale and sweaty. After the governor finally stopped scolding him, he immediately said, "We found a lot of evidence..."
This news successfully dispelled some of the governor's anger, but when he presented all the evidence, the governor became even angrier.
Because the images of the invaders in all the photos, recordings, and video evidence look like an army affiliated with the Golan Renaissance Party.
The Golan Renaissance Party is a very troublesome organization. Because of the complex hatred relationships involved, it is full of crazy lunatics and no one wants to provoke them.
When questioned by the Governor, Wang Jing gave a foolish answer: "A rotten Renaissance Party? Isn't that the symbol of Changshan County?"
Gu Xuanli almost killed this guy.
At this time, it was too late to transfer troops from other county towns.
But Gu Xuanli was unwilling to suffer such a big loss. He urgently ordered Qiao Kuangren to send people to collect more evidence along the way, trying to find solid evidence to prove that this army was a disguised Changshan County.
But how can Seokju's spies be compared with KGB agents?
As with every previous special operations against Changshan County, Shizhou's spies were defeated.
After leaving behind more than 30 bodies, the spies from Shizhou no longer dared to approach within 20 kilometers of the Changshan County troops.
However, despite suffering a huge defeat, Kuang Ren Qiao still got photos of Changshan County's cargo ships, and by bribing some Changshan County's building materials suppliers, he got many photos of cargo ships unloading at the docks from them.
From these photos, we can clearly see that among the cargoes unloaded from the cargo ships, there were large amounts of flour, a large amount of military equipment, and even escorted prisoners.
In Gu Xuanli's opinion, this is already irrefutable evidence.
He immediately ordered the special envoy to go to Shenjing with all the evidence.
He accused Changshan County to the Supreme Council of Elders, intending to emulate the pseudo-governor of Zezhou, Wu Jingtang, and plot to launch a rebellion.
