Wandao long distance

Zhang Haoming was arrested.

The reason is very simple: he was robbing food and wealth, so he was caught by the later officials.

Now he wants to slap himself in the face a few times. He always feels that he can take advantage. Is he breaking the law now?

A few petty officials easily controlled hundreds of villagers.

After that, they announced the verdict directly without even going through a trial.

The whole family was implicated and traveled three thousand miles.

Zhang Haoming almost fainted.

But before he fainted, they were tied up and the whole family was exiled.

He didn't dare to resist, so he could only be led away like an ox or a horse.

Because he committed the crime first, Zhang Haoming, like all the villagers, did not dare to resist, but was still dragged away with a miserable look on his face, looking extremely pitiful.

He, the old woman at home, his sons, and his daughter who were thinking about getting married were all exiled.

There are only two married sons, and the families have separated. They are not implicated, which is a bit of comfort.

At least the incense remains.

Zhang Haoming, who had never had a better life in his life, was chained like this, lined up with everyone, led by the spirit beast in front, and formed a mighty line, stumbling towards the distance.

Starting from Lizhou, we climbed several mountains and walked for two whole days in pain and thirst.

He didn't know where he was going, but it was just one of the many stupid things he had done in his life. Zhang Haoming had already learned to get used to it and accept it, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not.

Or it can be said...as long as it happens, it is reasonable.

It is the same whether it is to himself or to others, such as selling his daughter, stealing things, and robbing landowners.

Zhang Haoming is not a simple person. Another meaning of Chun is 'stupid'. He is shrewd, although this shrewdness sent him into this exile.

But the next night, near the border, under the leadership of the spiritual beast in front, the team finally climbed over a mountain and followed the path to a small farm.

When we arrived there, it was already dark, and the farm looked like one of those stacked rocks on the mountains and rivers, inconspicuous at all.

They had been on the road for two days in a row. Even with the skills at hand, Zhang Haoming and the hundreds of people around him were almost at their limit.

Zhang Haoming was in ragged clothes, without a coat, and his knees were wet with mud, making him look particularly embarrassed.

"Rest here, everyone, sleep one night and continue on your journey tomorrow." The little official who led the exile ordered, and then climbed down from the lizard-like spiritual beast.

He has been sitting on it for two days, and his back is sore from sitting. Now he wants to lie down.

As for those farmers who walked for two days and two nights without getting a drop of water?

They have rough skin and thick flesh. Doesn’t this give them a rest?What good treatment do a bunch of refugees who have been tortured want to receive?

This farm seems to be dedicated to farmers, and there are already people inside.

Zhang Haoming was taken away and imprisoned in the cellar of the farm, huddled on the damp and moldy straw.

It was pitch dark all around, and I couldn't see my fingers. Looking out from the guardrail, I couldn't even see the stars.

He reluctantly sat up, put his knees on his chin, breathed into his fingers, and began to think about his situation.

At this moment, Zhang Haoming was still not surprised by his experience.

He didn't question or resist anything that happened, but his face was still full of sorrow. He didn't know what he was suffering from, he just felt miserable.

"It's time to eat." An old woman's feeble voice came from outside. She must be the cook here. It's obvious that she has been working for a long time and has reached her current age.

You can see an old black pot hanging outside. The old woman scooped some soup from the pot, distributed it into bowls, put them on the trolley, and distributed them one by one.

The soup is very hot, but the taste is bland. I don’t know what kind of bones this pot is made from. The soup may have been boiled and drank hundreds of times, turning into something that seems to be soup, but is the same as hot water. The mysterious liquid had no taste other than salt. It contained some miscellaneous beans, which provided valuable calories.

When eating, the qi and blood in the body are supplied with nutrients, and steam is constantly coming out. The body is still shivering, but it is gradually getting warmer.

Even in Baiyue, the farmers did not have access to any good martial arts, but they still had a tough physique. They were indeed very strong and could withstand torture.

Even though the soup was boiled until it was as bland as water, and there was no light and darkness, Zhang Haoming could still feel that there were other people around him, and they were very close to each other.

The space in this cellar was just big enough for the two of them to lie down together. Although Zhang Haoming couldn't see him, at least the air became warm.

Although both men were aware of the other's presence, neither of them spoke.

There was nothing to say, and there was no need. Zhang Haoming had no interest in making friends, and he didn't talk much. He just put on a habitual sad face.

However, although his expression was as sad as ever, he felt nothing in his heart.

Sadness is just a habit, he has long been numb.

Animals don't think it's painful to eat hair and drink blood, and they don't think there's anything wrong with eating in the open air. The same goes for Zhang Haoming.

There is a saying: “If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.”

Zhang Haoming is like this, he can endure the darkness, and... he continues to endure it, just because he has never seen the light.

This was the case now. Zhang Haoming stayed in this narrow, dark cellar, enduring hunger and claustrophobia, but he didn't feel uncomfortable because he was used to this.

He and another stranger stayed in this dark cave for about a day. Only the old woman from before would come over. She would quickly lift the iron cover and hand them some soup and occasionally some dry food.

After almost being forced to lie down for a day, their energy and blood became abundant again.

Then they were pulled out and the march resumed.

It's just that what they don't know is...

What awaits them ahead is actually not hell.

But...light.

That light will illuminate the darkness around them.

They will find that they...are already living in hell.

There is no need to go, just light up the surroundings of them. In this way, they will naturally feel the pain, and... all the pain they experienced in the first half of their lives will burst out in that moment.

Such emotions, such power, and the simultaneous awakening of countless people will bring about huge changes.

This is what Li Qi wants.

Under normal circumstances, such horrific changes would only bring chaos.

It's a pity that Li Qi has violence that is absolutely irresistible. He can use this violence to force this change to happen and ensure that everything is according to plan.

This change... will completely reshuffle the entire Baiyue.

----------

And on the other side...

Zhang Xu was lying on the ground, his armor was broken, his spear was scarred, and he had hundreds of wounds.

He lay on the ground and managed to give himself a sip of water.The assembled legions were annihilated by the entire army of humanity.

With the cover of his adjutant and others, he was able to escape alone and hide.

Things were as he expected, but he couldn't stop it and could only watch it happen.

He clearly knew that this would lead to total annihilation from humanity.

He knew clearly that this would not work and he would be discovered.

However, he can't change it. If he insists on dispersing, it will be the result of mutiny and bombing of the camp. If he doesn't ask for dispersal, it will be annihilated by humanity.

If you make tough demands and give up, you will die. If you compromise and choose not to let go, you will die.

There was no way, or he couldn't think of a way.

He actually had some luck before, what if... what if?
It was this kind of luck that prevented him from forcefully asking everyone to disperse.

After all, he knew that by forcibly ordering them to disperse, he was actually announcing that the camp would be bombed, which would result in certain death.

But if we gather together, we won’t necessarily die, right?Maybe humanity made a mistake?A one in [-] chance is also a chance, which is better than certain death.

But...when the result came, he still regretted it.

If at first...

It's a pity no.

It's like a train that is about to rush off a cliff. If you jump, you will die. If you don't jump, you will fall off the cliff.

At this time, as a driver, how should he choose?

No matter which way you choose, you will regret it in the end just like you do now.

He couldn't even blame the officers and soldiers who refused to disperse.

Because, at least the adjutant and those brothers sent him out when he died.

They just don't believe it, and they don't have the ability to make them believe it.

Many times things are so helpless. I wonder...whether such a thing will happen on the human side.

These tangled thoughts filled Zhang Xu's body, making him unable to feel his body even if he was lying next to the mountain wall.

But after a while, he stood up, threw off the damaged armor, and continued to move forward.

He is still alive and can continue to move towards the node.

This is his task.

Zhang Xu continued to move forward, just like other soldiers. On the battlefield, there were many people acting alone like him. They were all forced to act independently for one reason or another. Some chose to flee, some chose to hide, and some chose to hide. Some are still moving forward.

Everyone knows one thing when they set out.

If the Grand Sacrifice node cannot be activated, everything behind them will be destroyed.

But... what they don't know is that they actually only came out to involve the energy of the leader of Baiyue Kingdom and Humanity.

Li Qi never expected them to succeed.

The Grand Festival node is indeed important, but they cannot break through the humanitarian defense line.

Li Qi just hoped that they and the leader of the Baiyue Kingdom could get entangled with humanity and give Li Qi some time to reshape the grassroots.

By then, people like Zhang Xu... should be eliminated.

A soil like Baiyue can only give birth to an army like Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu has proven... that they cannot be a humane opponent.

Therefore, reorganization is necessary. After the reorganization is completed, Li Qi will come up with an army that is stronger, more elite, and more full of fighting spirit than Zhang Xu and others.

That’s when the real fight against humanity begins.

Now... it's just killing the rotten flesh that has long been entrenched on Baiyue's body.

Although Zhang Xu and the others felt that this was a tragic expedition, in the eyes of those behind the scenes, they were clearing out negative assets, reorganizing the structure, and moving forward with ease.

Zhang Xu, and even other armies like the White Rhino Army...

In Li Qi's plan, they are remnants abandoned by the times. Maybe some individuals can survive, but the collective composed of these armies cannot continue. Li Qi wants to clear out these elites from the feudal era of Baiyue. ', to make room for our future elite.

The Songguo battlefield was a fire for them. They were burning the last fire so that Li Qi could get enough chips and time. Although Li Qi had already revealed his purpose, they still knew nothing about it. They Just like all armies in the feudal era, they accept the order of the monarch and then rush out to gain victory and glory, or die on the battlefield.

Li Qi didn't lie to them. He clearly conveyed his wishes through the prefects, but... victory was out of reach for them.

If the Baiyue army and the humane army fight, there is no possibility of winning.

The gap is too big. The magic equipment that gathers the power of all Baiyue countries is not even as well-equipped and determined as any human army.

Therefore, in a sense, Zhang Xu is the same as Zhang Haoming and his subordinates.

Just as ignorant, just as numb.

Zhang Xu still didn't give up. After he took off his armor, he followed his original plan and shuttled across the battlefield alone, quietly heading to the festival node.

He walked across the battlefield in silence, and several days passed before he knew it. He had been careful during this period because he knew how dangerous he was.

A single soldier crossing the battlefield, being seen by humane soldiers, and being surrounded and killed is almost the only outcome.

Fortunately, an individual soldier also has an advantage, that is, it is easy to hide. A large army can be easily discovered, but an individual soldier has many ways to hide himself. For example, the simplest is to dig a hole and bury himself.

This is very useful. The earth in the world itself has personality. If you want to explore the interior of the earth, it will take a lot more energy.

However, correspondingly, digging the ground requires greater strength. It is basically impossible for an army to dig the ground, but it is much easier for one person to dig the ground.

Another day passed, and Zhang Xu buried himself in the soil, leaving only a small hole to breathe.

He couldn't help but tighten his body and listen carefully to everything around him.

This is a battlefield where there is no peace, no rest, and no moment of safety.Life is in a dangerous environment at all times, and the highest level of vigilance must be maintained at all times and at all times.

I don't know if it was the powerful man's magic or something else, but it was snowing heavily outside and he was freezing.

Even magic and martial arts inner energy can't relieve this coldness. It's obviously a large-scale magic, and I hope it's not humane.

Even if he stayed underground, it would be much warmer than on the ground, but the bone-chilling chill still stung his whole body like needles, especially the injured shoulder.

After running around for a day, he felt very sleepy. Zhang Xu wanted to have a good sleep, but it was too cold and he shivered so much that he had to get up and wanted to dig deeper in pain.

However, he had already dug a mile deep and could not dig any further. But it was still so cold and the snow continued to fall.

This forced him to choose to climb out of the pit.

If you stay in this predicament any longer, you will die.

Go on your way overnight, get out of here quickly, and get out of the range of the spell.
