Feigned surrender? Was there an ambush in the Skyleap Hunting Ground?!
Logically speaking, this was impossible. This was completely inconsistent with the Zhong Clan's style.
The hearts of the people of the world belonged to Jiang, not Ji. This was especially true for the people of the three southern kingdoms. Over the past two years, Ning Shao and the Zhu Clan had tried countless times to get Zhong Yao to return. However, they were rejected every time. Moreover, the reason for their rejection was extremely humble.
This time, Zhong Yao had no reason to refuse. Otherwise, the Zhong Clan would be exterminated if they were accused of sympathizing with Shen Lang.
However, deep down, the Zhong Clan might have hoped that Shen Lang would emerge victorious. Firstly, they had been influenced by Ning Yuanxian. Two years ago, the Zhong Clan had suffered a crushing defeat, but Ning Yuanxian had not killed a single one of them. Secondly, the Zhong Clan was no longer of any use to the Great Yan Empire.
Therefore, Zhong Yao planned to use his life to ensure the survival of the Zhong Clan. He had long been prepared for defeat.
Moreover, if it was a feigned surrender, why would the entire Zhong Clan kneel before Shen Lang?
"Why?" Shen Lang asked, "Last night, you said that you would fight with all your might and resign yourself to fate."
Zhong Yao trembled as he said, "A strange virus has broken out in the army. Will His Majesty Shen Lang still … still dare to accept our surrender?"
In an instant, Shen Lang was completely stunned! This … this was simply without a bottom line. This was simply deranged.
Shen Lang had also used the Black Death Bomb, but he had always used it in isolated places. Moreover, there were basically no innocent civilians. He had only used it to ensure that the virus would not spread.
Meanwhile, the 80,000 soldiers under Zhong Yao should still belong to Ning Shao. Although he sympathized with Shen Lang, he did not say that he would betray him. Now, someone had actually spread a virus among these 80,000 soldiers.
Who did this? Was it Ning Shao or the Zhu Clan?
Shen Lang thought for a moment and was inclined to believe that this was Ning Shao's doing. This person was a complete lunatic, a complete lunatic.
Furthermore, this plan was indeed extremely vicious.
Firstly, Ning Shao must have known that before Shen Lang attacked Skyleap City, he would definitely occupy the Skyleap Hunting Ground as a fortress. Now that the virus had broken out in the Skyleap Hunting Ground, would Shen Lang's army still dare to enter?
Secondly, didn't these 80,000 soldiers sympathize with Shen Lang? Now that they have been infected, what are you going to do, Shen Lang? Do you accept their surrender? If he accepted it, these people would become a huge burden. If you don't accept it, you, Shen Lang, will lose the support of the people.
Thirdly, Ning Shao knew that the hearts of the people in Skymoon City were on Shen Lang's side. In fact, there were more than 200,000 soldiers who were on Shen Lang's side. He wanted to cut off the remaining soldiers' path of surrender to Shen Lang. Why did he say that? Regardless of whether Shen Lang accepted the surrender of these 80,000 soldiers, his army was likely to be infected by the plague. Would the other armies dare to surrender to him? Aren't you afraid of getting infected by the plague?
Fourth, aren't the people of the State of Yue loyal to Shenlang? In that case, Shen Lang, wouldn't you have the responsibility to protect them? If he allowed these 80,000 infected soldiers to escape, how many people in the State of Yue would be infected and how many would die? In order to protect the people of the State of Yue, Shen Lang had to accept the surrender of these 80,000 soldiers. Then, he would have to cure them and take care of them. These people would become time bombs for Shen Lang, and they could infect Shen Lang's 20,000 soldiers at any time.
But Ning Shao, aren't you worried that Skymoon City will be infected? Aren't you worried that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command will be infected? You are the King of the State of Yue!
However, Shen Lang quickly realized that Ning Shao really didn't care, because he didn't have many soldiers that truly belonged to him. Now, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers either belonged to the Zhu Clan, the Sky-sea Pavilion, or the Yinyuan Association. Ning Shao probably couldn't wait for Shen Lang and his troops to be infected and die.
This man's viciousness and madness were truly shocking.
It was no wonder that Zhong Yao chose to surrender. Ning Shao was no longer treating the Zhong Clan as cannon fodder, but as the source of the poison.
Zhong Yao had originally planned to fight with all his might, and use his death to express his loyalty to the Great Yan Empire. However, in this situation, how could he express his loyalty? The other party's methods had crossed the line.
"What virus?" Shen Lang asked.
"I don't know." Zhong Yao shook his head.
Shen Lang asked, "When did you discover it?"
Zhong Yao replied, "It started two days ago. However, the weather is hot now, and fever is a common occurrence in the army. Since yesterday, the fever has gradually increased, and the symptoms have also changed from fever to shivering, vomiting and diarrhea. We even … thought that this was your special attack method, Your Majesty Shen Lang. "
Zhong Shishi's face turned red when she heard this, because she was the one who said it.
Zhong Yao said, "However, Eunuch Nian, who serves Ning Shao, came to visit me last night. His behavior was a little strange, and he was very careful. He even kept his distance from me, and covered his mouth and nose from time to time."
Shen Lang asked, "What happened after that?"
Zhong Yao said, "Last night, I couldn't sleep, so I started patrolling the army. In the end, I discovered that someone was throwing something special into the well water, so I captured him and interrogated him. In the end, I obtained an answer that I couldn't believe. When I woke up this morning, a large number of people in the army had collapsed. Yesterday, there were only a few hundred people, but this morning, four to five thousand people suddenly fell ill. "
Shen Lang asked, "How long has your army been stationed at the Skyleap Hunting Ground?"
Zhong Yao replied, "Twenty-five days."
This was long enough for the incubation period. Today was only the first day of a large-scale outbreak. Following this, more and more soldiers would fall ill. Because this was not a naturally occurring plague, it was man-made. Therefore, the outbreak would be even more terrifying, and most of the soldiers would not be able to avoid it.
Shen Lang said, "If I'm not wrong, then the outbreak of the plague will only get more and more severe. In six or seven days at the latest, over 50,000 people in the army will be infected, and even my own army will be infected."
Zhong Yao kowtowed vigorously, and said with a trembling voice, "Zhong Yao deserves to die, Zhong Yao deserves to die! I never thought that this bastard would be so deranged and have no bottom line. This is his army. "
Shen Lang asked, "How is the situation in the army now?"
Zhong Yao replied, "Everyone is panicking. There are simply too many people who have fallen ill today. If we don't control it, I'm afraid there will be a mass exodus. "
This group of people must not escape. Once they do, countless commoners will also be infected. When that time comes, it will be a disaster.
Ning Shao's viciousness could not be any greater. He didn't care about the lives of the commoners, but used them to kidnap Shen Lang.
If Shen Lang also abandoned countless commoners, then he, the son of Jiang Li, and the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, wouldn't be justified.
The hearts of the people are with Jiang, not Ji. Now that your Emperor Shen Lang doesn't care about your lives, it's time for you to see Shen Lang's true colors.
Seeing that Shen Lang was in a difficult position, Zhong Yao kowtowed with all his might. "Zhong Yao deserves to die, Zhong Yao deserves to die."
This plague was also a disaster for the Zhong Clan. This was because the main force of his clan was also among the tens of thousands of soldiers. It was only a matter of time before the plague broke out. Most importantly, it was impossible for Zhong Yao to remain loyal to the Great Yan Empire even if he wanted to. This was because Ning Shao had already pushed the Zhong Clan into a pit of hell.
There was no longer a place for the Zhong Clan to stand in this vast world.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, the army is in a mess now. They didn't want to fight with you in the first place. Today, the plague has broken out on a large scale, and it's almost out of control. Soon, they will flee en masse." Zhong E kowtowed and said, "If they are allowed to flee, it will be a disaster for the millions of commoners of the State of Yue. If you accept their surrender, it will be a disaster for your army as well. "
Shen Lang took a deep breath and said, "Epidemic prevention team, step forward."
At Shen Lang's command, hundreds of fully-armed military doctors stepped forward. They were completely covered. Because Shen Lang was very familiar with this aspect, the military doctors under his command were the most complete.
"Grandmasters, please cover yourselves as well and prepare for the epidemic. Protect me as we enter the Tian Yue City's military camp!" Shen Lang ordered.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of countless people behind him changed drastically.
"Your Majesty, please don't! You are invaluable. You must not take the risk!" Dozens of generals immediately knelt down.
Hila said, "Brother, I am your blood sister. I will go in your place."
Shen Lang shook his head and made all the preparations for the epidemic. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. Follow me into the Tian Yue Hunting Ground's camp."
… …
At this time, the Tian Yue Hunting Ground's camp was in chaos. Everyone was panicking.
These people were loyal to Ning Yuanxian and Ning Zheng. Of course, this included Shen Lang. They did not want to fight in the first place. The morale of the first line of defense that was sent to the Tian Yue Hunting Ground was already low. Now that the plague had broken out, they were even more anxious.
"Brothers, we are finished, we are finished!"
"Damn it, someone poisoned us and caused the plague to break out. Now, no one dares to touch us. "
"The King of Yue doesn't want us anymore. The Great Yan Empire doesn't want us anymore. Shen Lang doesn't want us either."
"They want us to be cannon fodder. They want to use us to kill Shen Lang's army."
"Brothers, charge out, charge out. Since no one can save us, let's infect everyone and drag them down with us."
"Yes, charge out and spread the plague. It's enough to drag one down with us. If we drag two down with us, it'll be worth it."
The camp was like a surging tide. All the officers could no longer control the army. Moreover, they did not want to control it because some of the officers themselves were also infected.
It was too hopeless and too chilling. Someone actually treated them as the source of the plague. Now, the hearts of this army were filled with infinite fear and resentment. They only wanted to charge out and spread the plague.
"Go, go, go …"
Under the lead of a few hundred people, tens of thousands of soldiers were about to charge out of the camp. They wanted to spread the plague in all directions and drag countless people down with them.
"Bang!"
At this time, the gate of the camp opened, and a group of people walked out.
The person in the lead was wearing a white robe, a golden crown, and a mask.
Who, who was he?
… …
Shen Lang walked into the camp and instantly smelled a foul stench.
Not far ahead, more than ten to twenty thousand soldiers were about to charge out. After seeing him, they could not help but be stunned.
Shen Lang took off his mask and revealed his face. Everyone recognized him because his portrait had been stuck in every corner of the camp for the past two years. Moreover, it was a very realistic sketch. In this world, this drawing technique was created by Shen Lang himself. Was this considered a trap of one's own making?
"I am Shen Lang!" Shen Lang said slowly.
All the soldiers in the camp were stunned and stood quietly on the ground.
Shen Lang said, "You want to charge out and spread the plague in all directions, dragging countless people down with you, right?"
Countless soldiers nodded instinctively.
Shen Lang said, "Stay in the camp and don't move. Don't leave. I will accompany you for the next few days. I will treat you, okay? I will temporarily put this battle on hold. In the next few days, I will treat you. Go and bring me the most serious patient. "
Countless soldiers were stunned. A moment later, a patient was carried over. His whole body was trembling. It was a hot day, but he was covered with two layers of blankets. His whole body was trembling. The inside of the blankets was a mess. Because he was vomiting and having diarrhea, it was full of filth.
Shen Lang put on his mask again and put on gloves to measure the patient's temperature. Then, he removed the vomiting and diarrhea, drew a tube of blood, and took out a microscope to check in front of everyone.
It was malaria. Shen Lang saw countless plasmodium parasites.
But the plasmodium parasites in this world were different from those on Earth. They looked more ferocious from a microscope, and their vitality seemed to be much stronger.
Therefore, once a malaria epidemic broke out, the infection rate would be higher, and the mortality rate would be higher.
In ancient times on Earth, although malaria was not as terrible as the Black Death, it still killed countless people. During Ma Yuan's expedition to Jiaozhi, the army was infected with malaria. Four out of ten people died. Shen Qi and Liu Yi relapsed in Annan, exposing more than a hundred thousand people to the virus. Five out of ten people died. During the Qing Dynasty's expedition to Burma, the army broke out with malaria. Seven out of ten people died. During the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Simao originally had seventy to eighty thousand people. Because of the malaria outbreak, less than a thousand people were left.
The enemy was amazing. Previously, it was Shen Lang who used the virus as a weapon. Now, they actually used the plague to counter Shen Lang.
Fortunately, it was malaria and not the Black Death. If it was the Black Death, then millions of people would have died. Even the influenza virus was terrifying. After the end of the First World War in 1918, soldiers from various countries returned home with a terrible influenza virus. It was called the Spanish Flu. In just a few months, 20 million people died. On that day, the number of people who died from influenza may have exceeded 50 million. It was much more than the number of people who died in the First World War.
The Black Death could be cured, but until now, the penicillin in Shen Lang's inventory was far from enough. And if it was influenza, Shen Lang was almost at his wit's end.
But if it was malaria, there were two effective drugs. One was artemisinin, and the other was cinchona cream.
Artemisinin was discovered by the Chinese scientist, Tu Youyou, who won the Nobel Prize. Moreover, the raw material of this drug was the plant Artemisia annua. During the Han Dynasty, Ge Hong used the juice of Artemisinin to treat malaria. Modern medicine used ether to extract artemisinin, which could produce a higher purity of artemisinin crystal, which was more effective against malaria.
And the other effective drug, cinchona cream, was extracted from the bark of a kind of tree. In the Eastern Dynasty, Shen Lang rarely saw this kind of tree, but after he went to the Western World, he saw many of them. He saw many in his Jade Tide Peninsula alone.
When he returned from the Western World to the Eastern World, he came across a few islands with countless cinchona trees.
Therefore, although the purity of these two drugs was not very high due to the craftsmanship, there were a lot of them in stock.
Shen Lang had always wanted to harm people, so he also had to guard against others harming him. Back in the Qiang Kingdom, he wanted to use the malaria parasite Su Nan. Even now, he was still cultivating the malaria parasite.
However, the malaria parasite in front of him was different from the one he cultivated. Whose work was this? Stupa Mountain?
… …
The tens of thousands of soldiers present watched everything with their own eyes.
As the emperor of the East, Shen Lang was personally treating a soldier of the lowest rank, and was even going to study his feces.
He did not say a word of heroism, but his actions spoke louder than a thousand words.
As time passed, Shen Lang carefully treated the patient. Of course, the effect would not be immediate, but the soldier, who was shivering all over, gritted his teeth. Otherwise, he would probably howl, but the tears could not help but flow out.
After being infected with the serious disease, he was in despair, especially the pain of the disease, which made him want to die immediately. His heart was filled with fear, resentment, and loneliness.
But now, the noble emperor of the East, Shen Lang, was personally treating him. This really made him forget the pain, and his blood boiled as if it was about to explode.
This was no longer just being touched, but like a frozen person being put into warm water. A person in the darkness had come to the bright sunlight.
At this moment, there was only one thought in the soldier's mind. If I, Wang Erdan, survive, I will definitely die for His Majesty Shen Lang. From now on, His Majesty Shen Lang's enemies will be my irreconcilable enemies.
About half an hour later, Shen Lang's initial treatment was completed.
"Officers and soldiers, my military doctor will treat each and every one of you."
"Next, we will conduct quarantine and start a full-scale epidemic prevention campaign. I will not give up on any of you, and I will do my best. "
"Are you willing to obey orders? Are you willing to return to your barracks and not leave even half a step? "
Shen Lang still didn't say anything heroic and just asked in a very calm tone. His voice wasn't loud, and many people didn't even hear it clearly.
A moment later, tens of thousands of people in front of him knelt down!
"Long live His Majesty Shen Lang, long live, long live!"
In the end, the 80,000 people in the entire Tianyue Hunting Ground all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
… …
Next, Shen Lang divided the entire Tianyue Hunting Ground camp into two parts, the East Camp and the West Camp.
First, the East Camp was thoroughly disinfected. Almost every inch of the place was sprinkled with lime, all the wells were sealed, and new wells were dug. He burned all the suspicious objects that could be infected by the parasites.
Then, his army of more than 20,000 people stationed in the East Camp. If it was someone else, knowing that there was a plague, they absolutely wouldn't dare to enter, but Shen Lang knew malaria too well.
Next, his military medical team carried out a comprehensive epidemic prevention operation in the West Camp. Every camp was completely isolated, and no contact was allowed. Every place in the camp was disinfected, new wells were dug, all the water was boiled, all the soldiers' clothes were boiled, and all the soldiers had to take hot baths twice a day, the water temperature exceeding 55 degrees Celsius.
The entire army was strictly prohibited from urinating and defecating anywhere. Special toilets were dug, and the patients' vomit and excrement were completely buried.
What the hell, the first battle in Tianyue City was not with the enemy, but with the malaria epidemic.
Although Shen Lang brought a lot of Artemisia and Cinchona Cream, it wasn't enough for so many people. He had no choice but to send an Amazon army back to Raging Tide City to collect the medicine as soon as possible, or else the medicine would soon run out.
… …
Three days after Shen Lang's army stationed in the Tianyue Hunting Ground, the people of the Zhong family fell ill one after another, including Zhong Yao, Zhong E, and Zhong Shishi. More than half of the family members fell ill, and they began to have a fever and shiver.
"Cold, cold, cold …"
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die …"
Zhong Shishi's body was covered with two layers of blankets, but she still kept shivering. The chill seemed to come from her bones. Her lips were pale, her nails were cyanotic, and her teeth were chattering.
This illness really differed from person to person. Zhong Shishi's symptoms were much more serious than others. An ordinary person would have a chill for about a quarter of an hour at most, but Zhong Shishi lasted for a few hours. In the end, her face was so pale that there wasn't a trace of blood, and her lips were starting to turn purple.
Although Zhong Yao also had an illness, it wasn't this serious.
Zhong Shishi's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and her vitality was withering.
This was really strange. Even if malaria could kill, it wasn't at this stage. The chill was only at the second stage. Moreover, Shen Lang had already used Artemisinin, which was a super effective medicine for the early stages of malaria. It should be effective soon, so why didn't it work? Why did she look like she was going to die?
"Your Majesty, please save my daughter." Zhong Yao knelt down and kowtowed. "From today onwards, she will be your servant."
Subsequently, Shen Lang tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't stop Zhong Shishi's condition from worsening. Her body temperature kept dropping, and her vitality kept weakening.
Why … why was this happening?
Shen Lang started to cut her wrist, took out half a tube of blood, and observed it under the microscope.
He realized that there were other living things besides the malaria parasite? Was … was this a parasite from Stupa Mountain? It had been lurking in Zhong Shishi's body all this time, but after the parasite relapsed, it had activated the parasite in her body?
But … what kind of parasite was this? Shen Lang realized that the parasite did not recover on a large scale. Instead, it had entered a strange state.
The parasite from Stupa Mountain was very scary. They had different stages of growth. They might be harmless in the first and second stages, but they would be instantly fatal when they entered the third stage, and they might even show terrifying symptoms.
Someone had poisoned Zhong Shishi? Why was this happening?
Shen Lang asked, "Zhong Hou, what happened to Zhong Shishi in the past two years?"
Zhong Yao said, "After the engagement between Shishi and Zhu Hongping was canceled, Ning Shao once tried to beat around the bush, saying that he was willing to take Shishi as a concubine. In the end, I rejected him. Shishi also rejected him, and her attitude was very bad."
Shen Lang asked, "What's the relationship between Ning Shao and Stupa Mountain?"
Zhong Yao said, "It shouldn't be very close, but the State of Yue is Sky-sea Pavilion's territory. So Stupa Mountain should have their eyes on Ning Shao? "
Shen Lang said, "Your daughter was poisoned by a parasite. The other party probably didn't want to kill her, but wanted to threaten her. When the plague broke out this time, the malaria parasite in her blood stimulated the parasite, so she kept feeling cold, and her vitality was gradually withering. "
Before Zhong Yao could say anything, a woman rushed in from outside and knelt in front of Shen Lang.
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, I know that there is nothing you can't do. Please save my daughter, she is my precious darling. As long as you save her, she will be your servant for the rest of her life." This person should be Zhong Shishi's mother.
Zhong Yao said in shock, "Madam, what are you doing? Get out! Get out! "
Many people in the Zhong family were infected with malaria, except for Madam Zhong. She rushed into the ward without a care for the risk of infection.
Then, Zhong Yao knelt in front of Shen Lang, his forehead on the ground. A moment later, Zhong Yao's son also came in and knelt in front of Shen Lang.
The entire Zhong family knelt and begged Shen Lang to save Zhong Shishi.
"Alright, I can try, but if it doesn't work …" Shen Lang said.
Zhong Yao said, "If it doesn't work, then it is Heaven's will, and I will be very grateful for Your Majesty's kindness."
Shen Lang said, "Alright, then I will have to trouble all of you to leave."
He didn't explain why he wanted everyone to leave, because he didn't want anyone to see what was going to happen next.
"Yes!" Zhong Yao left with his family.
Putting aside the fact that Shen Lang wouldn't do anything to his daughter, even if he did, it wouldn't matter. He had already said that as long as Shen Lang could save Zhong Shishi, she would be his servant.
… …
After everyone in the Zhong family left, Shen Lang concocted a bowl of medicine and fed it to Zhong Shishi.
"Shen Lang, am I going to die?" Zhong Shishi asked in a trembling voice.
Shen Lang didn't answer. He just fed her the entire bowl of medicine, and soon, Zhong Shishi fainted.
Shen Lang extracted a milliliter of his blood and injected it into Zhong Shishi's body. He didn't know what kind of Gu insect was in Zhong Shishi's body, but as long as it was a Gu insect from Stupa Mountain, Shen Lang's blood would definitely kill it.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Lang's blood entered Zhong Shishi's body, it quickly killed the foreign Gu insect in her blood.
The effect was immediate. Her delicate body gradually regained its temperature, and her originally pale and bloodless face slowly turned red.
But … that wasn't right!
Then, her body turned redder and redder, as if she was going to burn completely. Finally, her entire body was a magnificent red.
Shen Lang fed her the anesthetic. She was supposed to sleep for a few hours, but she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …" Then, she felt as if her body was about to explode, and she screamed in extreme pain.
Madam Zhong was about to rush in from outside, but Zhong Yao stopped her.
"Bam, bam, bam!" Zhong Shishi, who was in unbearable pain, slammed her fists down, instantly shattering the sturdy wooden bed.
Shen Lang couldn't understand why his blood had such a huge reaction when it was injected into Zhong Shishi's body. Was it because Zhong Shishi's body was special, or was it because of Shen Lang's blood?
However, her life wasn't in danger. Although her screams were tragic, they were at least full of energy.
However, Zhong Shishi's next words made Shen Lang feel so awkward that he wanted to crawl into the ground.
"Shen Lang, you're that White Impermanence. You're that White Impermanence who tarnished my innocence. You're that beast."
… …
In the next few days, countless soldiers in the Tianyue Hunting Ground fell ill every day. Although they were treated, they didn't recover that quickly.
Eight thousand people, ten thousand people, twenty thousand people, forty thousand people …
More and more soldiers fell ill from the plague.
As a doctor, Shen Lang could see that the epidemic was about to be controlled very soon. Most people's lives would be saved because the medicine was administered in time.
However, to outsiders, the entire Tianyue Hunting Ground seemed to have turned into hell.
Following that, Shen Lang completely sealed off the entire hunting grounds and cleared out everyone within a radius of three li, ensuring that no spies would be able to approach.
However, there were still people observing with binoculars from the top of a mountain nearby. Then, they continuously sent information to the palace.
"Your Majesty, great news, great news."
"For the sake of the people's hearts, Shen Lang had indeed fallen for the trap and accepted the surrender of the 80,000 strong army. Now, there's an outbreak of malaria in the military camp. Tens of thousands of people have fallen. That place has already become hell. "
"Now, there are large numbers of people dying in the Tianyue Hunting Ground every day. The corpses that are being carried out are densely packed. The corpses are being burned every day. The stench is overwhelming. "
King Ning Shao said, "What about Shen Lang's army? Did they get infected? "
Eunuch Nian said, "We didn't see any corpses being carried out by Shen Lang's army. However, we can clearly see that Shen Lang's East Camp has also started to build quarantine camps. Moreover, the guards on the East Camp's walls are becoming sparser. Therefore, we can be sure that Shen Lang's army is also suffering from a large-scale outbreak of the plague. "
Ning Yi said, "Your Majesty's plan is truly unparalleled. Shen Lang's army has not even started fighting, and they have already suffered a disaster. Your Majesty, this move of yours is giving them a taste of their own medicine."
Ning Shao did not say anything, but his eyes revealed a proud and cruel light. His poisonous plan had indeed worked.
The poisonous insects of Stupa Mountain are indeed powerful. They did not disappoint me!
… …
It had been twenty-five days since Shen Lang's army entered the Tianyue Hunting Ground. This place seemed to be dead silent. There were fewer and fewer corpses being carried out, and fewer and fewer corpses being burned. Perhaps they had all died.
Ning Shao's spy could not predict how many casualties there were in Shen Lang's army. However, he could see that the guards on the walls were already extremely sparse. There were less than ten thousand people.
Moreover, there were countless crows circling above the entire camp. There were hundreds of them, and every day, they would let out mournful cries.
This battle had not even started, and Shen Lang's army seemed to have suffered a disaster. They would soon be wiped out by the plague.
… …
Inside the camp!
Zhong Yao, who had already recovered, said, "Your Majesty, Ning Shao has not sent out his troops yet."
Hila said, "Did he discover our trick?"
Shen Lang said, "No, he is just greedy. He wants to let the plague kill us all."
Hila said, "Then what should we do? We can't wait forever. What if he and the Zhu Clan's hundreds of thousands of soldiers don't attack us? We can't just attack the capital and blow the entire Tianyue City into ruins, right? "
Shen Lang said, "Immediately put on a new show. Gather the army and make it look like they are going to retreat and escape."
"Yes!"
… …
Inside the palace!
Eunuch Nian said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Shen Lang wants to escape. His surviving army is gathering. He wants to escape!"
King Ning Shao said, "Order the army to attack the Tianyue Hunting Ground and wipe out Shen Lang's army! This is to destroy Shen Lang. I must take the lead, not the Zhu Clan! I want everyone to see that the State of Yue is my State of Yue, not the Zhu Clan's State of Yue! "
"So what if it's the Zhu Clan? So what if it's Zhu Hongxue's Blood Soul Army? Can they defeat my evil plan? When Shen Lang used the plague to massacre my Tongtian Temple's Niao Juecheng, did he think of this day? "
"Shen Lang is really laughable. For the sake of the people's hearts, he actually buried his own army. How can such a person be worthy of being called a king? What benevolence, what kingship, how foolish and laughable. "
"Order the army to head south!"
Following King Ning Shao's order, the army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers headed south, charging toward Shen Lang's Tianyue City Hunting Ground.
The real decisive battle for the fate of Tianyue City had officially begun!
