There was no founding of the Cangling Ancient Country either.

Forget it.

Anyway, it's not truly dead.

I don't know if I was affected by Lin Chen and Gu Wei, but at this time more and more people stood up.

As Lin Chen was pondering how the ending would change, he didn't expect Gu Wei to say:

"My suggestion is that those with weaker strength become death warriors. This way, we can buy time for the human race and preserve strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xin, usually silent, interrupted:

"That's why you're ultimately shortsighted."

Everyone looked at Ma Xin and heard him say:

"What's the use of you going?"

"Who are you? Does the demon race know you?"

Gu Wei bit his lip, too angry to speak.

Although Gu Wei was starting to show talent now, he was still young, only thirty years old.

Just as everyone felt Ma Xin was being excessive, his tone shifted and he said:

"If death warriors must be organized, I should lead the interception for the best effect."

Lin Chen was taken aback after hearing this, looking at Ma Xin in disbelief.

After this battle, Ma Xin also survived, but as Gu Wei's talents stood out, Ma Xin gradually lost power.

Later generations had mixed evaluations of Ma Xin.

After all, history books evaluate according to the victor's achievements, and Ma Xin was already deemed a sinner when he proposed surrender back then.

But who would have thought that Ma Xin was not afraid of death.

He wanted to survive because he didn't want to see the fifty thousand troops he led die here.

In a strict sense, Ma Xin was the person guilty in his own time.

Lin Chen didn't know how this game board evolved a person's change, but the way this game changed after altering the plot must have its reasoning.

Perhaps Ma Xin in history was just such a person.

....

"No." Lee Shan immediately opposed: "You are the commander of the army..."

"Lee Shan, are you the main commander, or am I?" Ma Xin unexpectedly shouted.

Lee Shan and the others collectively fell silent again.

In their past impressions, Ma Xin was such a person with the domineering dignity of a monarch.

But this time, they didn't resent this dominance...

Because they understood the meaning behind Ma Xin's words:

If Ma Xin died, more people could live.

Ma Xin took two steps in front of Gu Wei, pulling him out, and calmly said under Gu Wei's gaze:

"Since you've already formulated the tactics, execute them to the end. I, Ma Xin, can't implement such tactics of yours."

After finishing, Ma Xin ignored Gu Wei and instead called downwards:

"Ma Character Camp, step out!"

Ten thousand soldiers from Ma Character Camp uniformly stepped out in unison.

Lin Chen watched this scene, feeling his body tremble slightly...

This Ma Xin was very different from what history said.

"Those willing to become death warriors, those at level forty or below, step out."

"If unwilling, follow the main force!"

In the end, it was a headcount, totaling nearly three thousand people including Lin Chen.

These three thousand were the final death warriors.

Once the numbers were confirmed, everything was settled.

At night, Gu Wei began his operation, which was three trials of the demon army.

The first trial, minor defeat.

The second trial, major defeat.

The third trial, after the first two probes, the demon race began to underestimate and swell with pride, while the human army took this opportunity to carve a bloody path toward Cang Mountain.

This battle wasn't difficult because the demon race believed this side was the direction of Cang Mountain, and the human race wouldn't depart this way.

So, in this war, Lin Chen, as a death warrior, survived by luck.

After breaking through the siege, it was time to split up; they would ambush in front of a mountain outside Wushan.

Lee Shan and others would separate into six routes. When leaving, all deputy commanders, including Gu Wei, came to see Ma Xin.

"If we win at the end, burn an incense stick for me here, and tell me the final outcome." Ma Xin said.

Everyone knelt on one knee, some with tears in their eyes, and some even weeping softly.

At last, the army departed.

Ma Xin turned around, looking at Lin Chen and the others, saying nothing.

It was evident he was a man not good with words.

He helped a new recruit straighten his clothing, finally patting his shoulder.

At this moment, silence was more eloquent than words.

Then, Ma Xin and his team hid in the grass; ten minutes later, when the demon army reacted and attempted to pursue, this team of death warriors emerged, launching an attack.

The demon race saw Ma Xin personally appearing, and many Great Demons actually came to besiege personally...

Lin Chen was not surprised because everyone anticipated this outcome the moment Ma Xin appeared.

....

Lin Chen took three-headed spirit beast, also entering the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the little fox and Big White Bear were too weak, being killed at the start, Xiaobai persisted for a while, but eventually met its end as well.

When Lin Chen perished at the end, he glanced back at Ma Xin.

At this moment, Ma Xin and his spirit beast were being besieged by five Great Demons, and finally, his body exploded in mid-air, turning into a rain of blood in the sky.

Lin Chen thought of a phrase:

"Though the annals do not carry half a page of ink for him, the myriad, long-lasting monuments are erected by his refusal to kneel."

Even if Ma Xin historically made mistakes back then, he did not betray his country later; he battled to the end, killing countless enemies, and ultimately perished on the battlefield.

With this final thought, Lin Chen's consciousness gradually blurred...

Unexpectedly, a hollow voice appeared in his mind:

"Calculating the chessboard..."

"You have changed the game; lost an important white piece but preserved five thousand white pieces."

"Rating: A"

Lin Chen groggily opened his eyes, seeing Ding Feng in front of him, who said happily: "Very good, five thousand more survived."

Lin Chen understood that these so-called five thousand more referred to the final number of people surviving.

According to historical records, of the fifty thousand who broke through, only twenty thousand reached Ling Mountain in the end.

The slice of history Lin Chen changed merely increased by five thousand people, yet nearly half still perished along the way.

"If the rating is excellent, you can choose a reward yourself." Ding Feng asked.

This time, Lin Chen wasn't overly interested in the reward; instead, he said, "Senior, that Commander Ma Xin..."

Ding Feng smiled and said: "The National Document has its history, and the outside has its own history. What you previously saw was outside history."

"As for within the National Document, it never forgot Commander Ma Xin's contributions."

"It's just that the brilliance of National Preceptor Gu Wei drew all the world's attention."

Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and asked, "Senior, what is the reward then?"

Ding Feng paused, then burst into laughter and said: "You are indeed too genuine."
