Chapter 466: Chapter 50: Huge Meritorious Task, Liu Tianning’s Oppressive Training! (6K)_4

....

On November 9th, Zhao Xing was already able to shuttle back and forth within the Enchanting Array at the Southern City Training Ground.

On November 10th, Zhao Xing began training in the integration of four skills, which were Flying, Divine Courage, Suicide Bombing, and Invisibility Grassman.

By November 13th, the Grassman Skill had fully integrated these four skills!

However, at this time, the transportation of supplies from Tonghuo City to the front line was frequently attacked, suffering damages in multiple locations.

Despite this, the supply production of Tonghuo City was sufficient. Under immense pressure, Zhao Xing implemented a saturation transport method.

That is to say, each time he delivered supplies, he sent three to five times the normal amount. Since he was taking detours, he set up several alternate routes divided into multiple batches to fragment the whole, playing a game of hide and seek with the enemy that attempted to intercept them.

Even though there were losses, the losses were distributed among several teams, and under such circumstances, the supply to the front line was barely maintained.

Under such pressure, time moved to the beginning of December.

At this time, the offense of the Divine Might Army, Zhenhai Army, Xuanjia Army, Zhao Yuan Army, Huan You Army, and Yuanhua Army became increasingly fierce, while the resistance at Sacrificial Soul Pass grew even more tenacious.

Great Zhou wanted to quickly capture Sacrificial Soul Pass because they knew the supply lines were always a vulnerability. Zhao Xing’s control of the supply lines had not yet faced any major issues, but there were no guarantees that problems wouldn’t arise if they dragged on.

The six leading generals were also under immense pressure.

The leading generals of Sacrificial Soul Pass faced considerable pressure as well, and the six-army alliance was nothing short of luxurious.

The Qi Yuan Army, led by Yi Yue and Nangong Ye, were genius generals ranking in the top five of the Seventh-Rank Battle Merit list.

The Zhao Yuan Army, Yuanhua Army, and Huan You Army were top tier forces from among the five major Grotto Heavens.

Especially the Huan You Army, which often had an overwhelming advantage when facing attacks by soul-controlling mages and ghosts.

Initially, Sacrificial Soul Pass dared to come out and battle, but later they could only defend passively, unable to send out a large ghost army.

However, they continued to dispatch forces to harass the supply lines, hoping to alleviate the pressure on the pass from this aspect.

If they managed to make a breakthrough in this area, repelling the six-army alliance would be set in stone.

By December 5th, Zhao Xing had begun practicing the integration of five skills.

Building on the foundation of the five Grassman Skills — Flying, Divine Courage, Suicide Bombing, Invisibility, and Soul Binding — he aimed to perfectly integrate these five skills.

"Bang!"

A Grassman exploded in front of him.

"This is already the 19,873rd failure," Zhao Xing said, his face somewhat pale.

He was also under tremendous pressure now because bad news was gradually increasing and the saturation transport method was not sustainable in the long term — enemy forces had even begun frequently attacking Tonghuo City and other cities along the supply lines.

"This month I not only had no increase in battle merits, but I also lost over fifty thousand," Zhao Xing thought to himself. Originally, providing and transporting supplies each month also earned him battle merits, but this month, due to heavy losses, the monthly battle merit rewards were deducted, and he was additionally fined over fifty thousand.

As it was with him, the people below were also starting to ’owe debts.’

The decisions of those above can affect the people below. Zhao Xing chose to persist with this task, not allowing the army to retreat, so he must bear this risk.

"Adversity reveals the true path," Liu Tianning approached Zhao Xing, "Your current pressure is still not great enough; let me help you."

"What?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.

"I will demonstrate this one last time," Liu Tianning said indifferently, "After this, this Grassman will completely disintegrate, and I will not send another Grassman. You only have this last opportunity."

"If you cannot learn it, this mission will certainly end in failure."
