After repeated bombardments from the Primordial Magnetism Heavy Cannon and the vanguard's brutal fighting, the once-treacherous marshland had been forcibly plowed flat.
Though the Miao-Conquest Army's twenty thousand vanguard troops had successfully checked the Gu Armor Army's counterattack, they too had suffered considerable casualties. Fatigue was already showing on the soldiers' faces, and their formation had lost its initial sharpness.
Just then, the formation barriers above Miaochong Prefecture actually vanished entirely!
This time, what poured out was no longer the dark green Gu Armor Army, but a heart-stopping dark red tide!

every one of them had vicious eyes and seethed with murderous intent.

Men, form the Ten Thousand Poisons Immortal-Burning Formation! Crush them! After this battle, every man will receive three years' military pay!"
Wooo-wooo-wooo-
The desolate call
