Holy Sky Continent.
On Yunqingluo's side, after months of fierce fighting, the two sides have once again reached a stalemate.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Holy Army's camp was heavy and oppressive.
In the very center of the tent, two chairs were placed prominently, with Sheng Chuli and Mo Beichen sitting on them respectively.
Right next to Mo Beichen was where Yun Qingluo was sitting.
Beside Yun Qingluo, Long Tianque and the other Xuan Army generals took their seats in order. Opposite them, the generals of the Holy Army were neatly arranged.
Mo Beichen's ability to sit in the main seat is the result of his own hard work.
He has repeatedly used his military skills to the utmost, catching the enemy off guard. In the past few months, the Holy Army and the Mysterious Army have witnessed the power of the Sumeru King, and none of them have dared to disobey him.
Even Long Tianque and others who disliked him began to respect him.
Li An sighed with a dejected look, "Originally, according to Lord Mo's instructions, we could have returned victorious in a few months. Now, the Ghost Continent has sent reinforcements called the Ghost Army. They are elusive and their moves are unpredictable. We have suffered several losses and dare not confront them rashly. The morale of our soldiers has greatly declined. What should we do?"
A young general chimed in, “The Ghost Continent and the Void Continent are always teeming with evil armies. We’ve wiped them out one after another. Last time it was the Puppet Army. Luckily, with Madam Mo’s guidance, we were able to win by a narrow margin. This time it’s the Ghost Army. We’ve fought two rounds already. It’s really giving us a headache.”
"Who wouldn't have a headache? They often launch night raids, keeping the soldiers up all night. And when swords and spears are used against them, they are completely unaffected. There's no way to fight this battle. Sigh," Liu Teng chimed in.
Saint Chuli said with a serious expression, "I called you here to discuss countermeasures, not to have you sigh and whine and dampen the morale of my troops."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.
"I wonder if Madam Mo has any strategies to deal with this ghost army?" Long Tianque turned his head to look at Yun Qingluo, sincerely asking.
Yun Qingluo remained silent because their description reminded her of a historical event.
However, she had never seen the ghost army of the Ghost Continent, so she had no way of making a judgment.
Yun Qingluo asked cautiously, "During your battle with the ghost army, did you discover anything unusual?"
Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, everyone began to recall their battles against the Ghost Army on the battlefield.
“They all wear black masks, so you can’t see their expressions, but their eyes are human eyes, so they must also be trained humans,” Ang Lee stated directly.
"When the broadswords struck them, they hesitated slightly, but then returned to normal in the next instant. However, although the swords struck them, there were no wounds. Their armor was broken, and it was pitch black inside, so you couldn't see anything, since it was nighttime."
"They're impervious to swords and spears. They only attack and don't defend. And the sounds they make are eerie, not human."
As Yun Qingluo listened to their intermittent conversation, an idea slowly began to form in her mind.
Sitting in the main seat, he kept observing Yun Qingluo's sacred Chu ritual out of the corner of his eye. He noticed the changes in Yun Qingluo's expression and had a better understanding of the situation.
This queen of the Sumeru Dynasty was indeed formidable.
At first, they only allowed Yun Qingluo to listen in on their discussions because she provided the medicine.
Fortunately, this person remained silent and did not disrupt their plans.
However, the Holy Army remained dissatisfied. Sheng Chuhan insisted on participating in the council, but Sheng Chuli ruthlessly refused. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept Yun Qingluo's participation.
However, on several later meetings, when Mo Beichen asked Yun Qingluo for her opinion, Yun Qingluo's views were always incisive and pointed out the crux of the matter.
They then realized that they had underestimated them all along.
Later, during each meeting, they would carefully ask Yun Qingluo for her opinion.
As everyone knows, this lady seems to have a bad temper and is very strong in martial arts. After all, Long Tianque had challenged her in the training ground before and failed.
Saint Chuli withdrew his gaze and asked Yun Qingluo with a serious expression, "Madam Mo, do you have any thoughts?"
Yun Qingluo didn't mince words and said, "To be honest, I once saw the term 'ghost army' in a book of strange tales. Legend has it that a leader spent a fortune training a group of ghost soldiers. These ghost soldiers had red faces and fangs, were impervious to swords and spears, and were invincible..."
After Yun Qingluo finished speaking, she asked again, "When you were fighting the ghost army, did you smell anything, like the smell of oil?"
After everyone pondered for a while, one person immediately answered, "Yes, I cut through the armor of a ghost soldier. I don't know what was inside, but it was dark and smelled very greasy."
Yun Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief. "I've heard of a vine that's very flexible. When soaked in oil and woven into soft armor, it can make you invulnerable to swords and spears. But it's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not."
Mo Beichen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "Fire attack."
Yun Qinglu praised her husband for being so smart.
Yun Qingluo continued, "However, once fire is used, it will be indiscriminate between friend and foe. In this situation, we will lose a thousand enemies but also eight hundred of our own."
Having said that, Yun Qingluo had laid out the pros and cons of the whole matter, and now it was up to them to decide.
Everyone's gaze returned to the two people in the main seats, but even more so to Saint Chuli.
Saint Chuli did not make a direct decision. He turned to Mo Beichen and asked, "In Lord Mo's opinion, what should we do?"
Everyone present was intelligent and understood the situation.
