Li Jun and Tie Gang each led five million soldiers, walking in perfect order and wearing the best armor and weapon. Anyone who watched these groups could feel the intense aura they emanated, immediately realizing they were soldiers who had seen blood and slaughter.
"Halt," roared Li Jun, and everyone stopped simultaneously. He looked at his man and could see them breathing hard and sweating.
"The information is correct," said Li Jun to the group next to him.
"They only walked a few thousand kilometers and are already this tied," commented Yan Liling. The weakest cultivation level of these soldiers is Primordial Spirit, with many middle officers in the Void Shattering Realm. Meanwhile, the Lieutenants are all Saints. Any of these soldiers would be god back on Earth or considered middle or high level in other worlds.
Yet, after walking a few thousand meters, they were out of breath, sweating, and displaying signs of fatigue.
"So, the restrictions of soldiers is that besides their strength, their stamina is limited to a mortal?" complained Tie Gang, feeling more absurd about this game.
"It might be worse than this," said Wang Wei. "Ordered them to recuperate." Li Jun made a hand movement, and the soldier perfectly sat cross-legged on the ground, entering a deep state of meditation while holding their weapons.
Half an hour later:
"It's useless. They are not recuperating their stamina."
"Give them some food and pills," ordered Wang Wei, and Yan Liling did so. After eating the food, the soldiers' stamina recuperated.
"You, you, and you," said Li Jun pointing to three people in the front. "Go to the side and use all your Origin Essence."
The soldiers followed his order and used the fastest way to deplete their Origin Essence. Then, they cultivate to recuperate.
"Useless, as expected," said Li Jun. Yan Liling approached the soldiers and gave them Energy Recuperating Pills, and they quickly recovered.
"Resources will be extremely valuable," she said. The game allowed her to remove limited items from her space ring. So, she will need to use the resources of this place to supplement her soldiers.
"I'm surprised they did not make us use our own resources," commented Tie Gang.
"That's what the exchange at the beginning was for," added Wang Wei before looking in the distance. "Heavenly Dao purposely teleported us to a faraway place so we could waste the resources in our spirit ring. If resources are not managed properly, we could be wiped out."
"This game seems to value mortal strategies and abilities." Mortal Generals have to worry about their armies' state when marching, their transportation, logistics, etc. Meanwhile, as a cultivator, he rarely has to worry about his soldier's stamina and traveling speed. Luckily, he also had to learn these things when his army was young, and he also read Sun Tzu's Art of War from Wang Wei.
"Personal ability should play a role in this game as well," said Wang Wei as he closed his eyes and expanded his Divine Sense of the surrounding. "Nope, they restricted that too. Tie Gang is right; this is bullshit."
"That's what I've been saying."
"Let's go in that direction. I've detected life."
The armies continue their march, with the group focusing on managing their pace and keeping tabs on the soldiers. After five days of marching, numerous breaks, and hunting food for the soldiers, the group arrived at a small devil race village and immediately noticed a few anomalies.
"What race is this?" asked Tie Gang, he learned of the subspecies of the devil race, but he had never seen such a creature, so he thought it was a lack of knowledge and experience.
"They looked like humans with horns," said Li Jun. "There is no devil species like this. The closest is the Horn Devil, but they have claws, fangs, and wings."
"Only a few devil races externally looked like humans," added Yan Liling. "Is this a new species?"
"Their bloodline has some human mixed on it," said Wang Wei as he scanned them with his Divine Sense. "More importantly, have you guys noticed something even more abnormal?"
"Yes, they are not afraid of us," she replied. "I cannot see the slightest fears in any of their eyes."
The group did not act rashly and observed. These devils only glanced at their large army and continued to live their lives as if nothing had occurred. Some of the children even looked at them with curious eyes.
"Wang Ju, send one of your men to kill one person," ordered Wang Wei. A Fate Shadow Guard approached the nearest healthy man and slashed his head, immediately turning the village into a frenzy. Children hurdled with their mothers, and the man stood in front, protecting everybody.
Wang Wei and the group did not continue to kill and waited. They checked the Entrance Token to see if this kill made any change: it did not.
Half an hour later, a new message suddenly appeared in the sky.
[Soldier has violated the rules. According to the stipulations, preparing for annihilation.]
A terrifying power brewed from the sky and readied to annihilate that Guard. And he knew that nothing he could do could save him. There was no fear or other emotions on the Shadow Guard's face; he was trained to die for the leader, and when the moment arrived, he accepted his fate.
"This is his infraction," yelled Wang Wei.
[Annihilation Cancel. First Infraction Punishment: Weakened State.]
