Marshal Li Tan of the Right Army commanded his forces. After gathering up the corpses of the Fierce Beasts, he led his army of Wu People forward like a raging torrent.
Taking advantage of the tremendous commotion caused by Ming's breakthrough, as well as the envoys he had dispatched to persuade the various races to surrender, the people of the various races assessed the situation and chose to submit one after another.
This allowed Li Tan's advance to proceed extremely smoothly. However, when they arrived at an Eerie Canyon, Li Tan's army was stopped in its tracks.
