Following Chu Tian's order, the Red Ten rushed to the front lines in a great hurry.
When he witnessed the horrific scene before him, he was deeply shocked.
Looking around, the entire five-kilometer radius was a scene of utter devastation.
The enormous "mud pit," two hundred meters wide, emitted a nauseating stench.
A pungent smell permeated the air, as if it could make one's very soul tremble.
Countless Chu State soldiers struggled painfully in this filthy "quagmire," their faces filled with despair and fear.
The "mud pit" was also filled with various severed limbs and remains, a bloody scene that sent chills down one's spine.
"This... this is a fucking dirty trick that even a human could come up with?"
Red Ten's face was extremely ugly; the pungent stench made his stomach churn.
He suppressed his discomfort and mustered his immense strength.
In an instant, the surrounding trees seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and they were all uprooted.
Vast expanses of trees block out the sun, resembling a green ocean suspended in the air.
Red Ten gritted his teeth, leveled each of the trees, and then carefully laid them across the bottomless ravine.
Only then were the trapped Chu State soldiers able to cross this makeshift "wooden bridge".
Meanwhile, some soldiers quickly used the road to pull those who were still alive out of the "mud".
However, that's a full five kilometers!
Looking at the seemingly endless project before him, Red Ten couldn't help but feel a surge of strong resentment towards the Hong Kingdom soldiers. "These Hong Kingdom soldiers are truly inhuman! Digging such a huge pit is utterly inhuman!"
He shook his head helplessly, realizing that it would take him forever to finish the task on his own.
Therefore, the Red Ten Army made a decisive decision to go back and bring reinforcements.
Before long, Red Twelve, along with Red Ten and all the Red Generals, teleported to this brutal battlefield.
They were all stunned by what they saw, unable to describe it in words...
Red One frowned as she looked at the scene before her.
With a wave of his hands, a powerful whirlwind rose out of thin air, quickly clearing away the debris and severed limbs scattered around the "mud pit".
Red Two's palm faced upwards, with a blazing flame burning fiercely.
He threw flames at the soldiers soaked in excrement, attempting to sterilize them with the high temperature and alleviate their suffering.
Red Three's eyes narrowed, and beams of light shot out from them. These beams, as if alive, pieced the broken trees back together and reinforced the makeshift passage.
Red Four formed hand seals and Niannian. A mysterious power enveloped the entire area, and the wounded soldiers immediately felt their pain lessen considerably.
Red Five leaped into the air, his hands waving as if weaving a giant net. This net slowly descended, gently enveloping the soldiers still struggling in the "mud" and pulling them to safety.
The other red generals also displayed their unique abilities.
The scene quickly became very lively.
The Chu State soldiers, witnessing the abilities of the Red Generals, felt as if they had received a shot of adrenaline.
The campaign had already started poorly, and then they encountered such disgusting people as Huang Gouhe, causing the morale of the vanguard to plummet.
But now, seeing the great power displayed by the Red Army generals, their morale has been boosted again.
The soldiers' eyes gleamed with excitement, as if they saw the dawn of victory.
They gripped their weapons tightly, ready to follow the Red Army generals in fighting the enemy.
After some time, thanks to their efforts, the rescue work gradually began to improve.
The trapped Chu State soldiers saw a glimmer of hope, and their eyes lit up again.
They looked at the Red Army generals with gratitude and deep respect.
However, there was still no way to get rid of the smell at the scene; many people felt as if they had eaten three pounds of food just from the odor.
The pungent stench was nauseating, and some people even experienced adverse reactions, vomiting up jaundice fluid.
"Fifth brother... I never imagined our first task upon entering the arena would be retrieving someone from a pile of excrement..."
Red Four was casting a spell while simultaneously making sarcastic remarks.
When they saw the Red Ten return with serious faces and looking very anxious, they thought, "Is this such a small matter that it requires the entire force to be mobilized?"
Everyone thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
When they arrived at the scene, they realized they had underestimated Hong Kingdom; they never expected they would come up with such a treacherous scheme.
This ravine directly delayed the Chu State's advance by two days.
During the subsequent march, they dared not speed up their pace, fearing that such a thing would happen again; the mere thought of it made them suffocate.
Chu Tian dispatched many people to scout ahead.
Those who went to explore the route were filled with fear and trepidation with each step.
Along the way, traps of all kinds were laid in various places on the ground...
There's nothing they can't do... The sheer density of their actions is enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.
The Red Army then used tree stumps and stones rolled on the ground to detonate the explosives.
They thought that would solve the problem, but to their surprise, the trees had also been rigged with traps.
Some trees contain poisonous gases that release deadly toxic fumes upon contact.
Some trees have traps set up so that they will shoot sharp arrows at anyone who gets too close.
These traps caught the Chu State soldiers off guard, for they advanced cautiously, each step fraught with danger.
On this battlefield fraught with traps, the Chu State soldiers faced immense difficulties.
Both Chu Tian and Hong Jiang were extremely worried, as they could potentially lose dozens or even thousands of men at any time if they tried to clean up the mess.
Not all soldiers possess the ability to fly like the Red Generals.
In reality, most soldiers were just ordinary Martial Artist.
Even Great Grandmaster, if he were to accidentally stumble into a trap, would likely end up with severed limbs, even if he survives by sheer luck.
The Chu State soldiers were constantly being worn down by this disgusting atmosphere, while also having to remain vigilant to prevent the Hong Kingdom from taking the opportunity to send out troops for a sneak attack.
This situation is incredibly exhausting.
They hadn't even seen the other side's city yet, and they were already facing constant setbacks along the way.
Chu Tian's face was extremely gloomy. He had also not expected that Lin Ao's methods would be so extreme.
Judging solely from the style of the weapons, Chu Tian found that the traps and bombs along the way far surpassed those of the present-day Chu State.
Lin Ao has managed to turn this war into something resembling a modern war.
Although their Chu State also possessed spell-based weapons, their power was far inferior to that of Lin Ao's side.
For the first time, Chu Tian felt a little uneasy about this operation.
Then, he shook his head vigorously, looked at the sky behind him, and gazed at the intense red clouds.
" Fate! It will never fail!"
