Chapter 341
As a result, they were discovered by Lin Beifan just as they entered Great Xia.
Instead of taking the path to heaven, you barge into the gates of hell! Lin Beifan waved his hand gently, and just like that, they were sent away to another place, disappearing without a trace.
After dealing with this group, Lin Beifan still felt unsatisfied.
His eyes began to roll around, hinting he was up to something not good.
Soon after, he let out a sly chuckle.
Four days later, within the camp of the Gret Sh Kingdom.
The anxiously waiting advisor and others began to wonder, What exactly is happening over there? Its been three days now. Why is there no movement at all, and why have they lost contact?
When the plan was set, they had agreed to keep in touch, with messages being sent back every day.
At the very least, they were supposed to maintain communication every two days.
But now it had been four days with no news at all, as if they had vanished into thin air.
A bad premonition began to rise in everyones hearts.
Could they have met with some mishap? someone asked with unease.
Impossible!
The advisor asserted confidently: We sent out 30 Innate experts. Unless a Grandmaster intervened, theres no way they could be killed! Besides, almost all of Great Xias Grandmasters are deployed on the battlefield or guarding the imperial city. They simply cant spare anyone!
Moreover, they entered Great Xia in batches from different directions. Even we dont know their exact whereabouts, so how could Great Xia possibly discover them? And even if they were discovered, some should have been able to escape, right?
Thus, I conclude that they might have been delayed by some matter. Lets not scare ourselves and wait patiently. There will come a time when the flowers bloom and bear fruit! the advisor reassured everyone.
In fact, he too suspected that something had gone wrong with the group.
But he couldnt let the armys morale be affected.The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
Without solid evidence, he had to keep the armys spirits up.
Just then, a soldier rushed in hurriedly, his face filled with panic, Marshal, Advisor, something terrible has happened! Tens of thousands of soldiers have been poisoned!
Poisoned? Everyone was shocked.
The advisor urgently asked, Could it be that Great Xia sent someone to poison us?
This we cant be sure, you should all go out and see for yourselves!
The generals left the camp and saw tens of thousands of soldiers vomiting and suffering from diarrhea, writhing on the ground in agony, their faces extremely pale.
What in the world is going on? Where is the doctor? Come quickly and take a look! the Marshal of Great Shi demanded grimly.
Marshal, Advisor, theres terrible news: the soldiers have been poisoned!
How could they be poisoned again? Didnt you boil the water before giving it to the soldiers?
Reporting to the Marshal, this time its not dysentery, but snake venom!
Snake venom?
Everyones faces turned pale with shock, and they stepped out of the military camp.
They saw tens of thousands of soldiers lying on the ground, wailing.
On their legs or arms were the marks of snake bites, their faces turning purple and green, showing signs of deep poisoning.
Reporting to the Marshal, last night, many snakes appeared in the camp, mostly venomous ones, and the soldiers were bitten by these snakes! someone reported loudly.
Great Sh Marshals face turned ashen: Damn it! No sooner has one problem subsided than another arises! Where did these snakes come from? Doctor, can you treat the soldiers?
The doctor sighed helplessly: Marshal, this is difficult for me! The snake venom varies from case to case, and many types still have no antidote. Im just an ordinary doctor, I dont have the power to reverse fate!
The Marshal said forcefully: I dont care! If you cant save them, Ill take your life!
The doctor sighed again, indicating he would do his best.
Following that, despite the doctors utmost efforts, he still couldnt save the lives of most of the soldiers.
When night fell, the venomous snakes reappeared, claiming the lives of tens of thousands more soldiers.
This continued for two consecutive nights until they managed to bring in a large quantity of realgar, which somewhat alleviated the situation.
However, these events cast a shadow over the soldiers.
They couldnt sleep during the day and dared not sleep properly at night, fearing a venomous snake bite.
After several days like this, many soldiers were not brought down by dysentery or snake venom but fell ill due to sheer exhaustion.
The armys morale was low, completely devoid of fighting spirit.
Great Sh Marshal and others could only sigh at this sight.
What kind of misfortune had they brought upon themselves!
We fell ill ourselves before we could defeat the enemy. How can we continue to fight like this?
