The sky was gloomy and the sea wind howled; the air was thick with the stench of rotting flesh and blood.
This was a vast plain. The once fertile and beautiful land had been ravaged by hordes of Corpse Soldiers. On the flank of this massive army, a scouting party of Qi Cultivators was clashing with a squad of Evil Cultivators, while scouts from two nearby squads patrolled the edges, recording intelligence.
This was the third day after the battle of Yuma County Town...
After Wang Ping's division captured Yuma County, they used a mountain stronghold in the canyon behind them as a supply relay station. They then advanced south for over a hundred li, clearing out the Corpse Soldiers along the way. Yesterday, they captured Huiping County, a key transportation hub, opening up the main road to the main army. This morning, they once again headed south.
「A quarter of an hour later...」
