Yunying was sitting at the table looking at a map when she noticed the intense gaze. She looked up at Mo Er and said calmly, "Have you figured it out?"
Mo Er's face stiffened, then he looked at him with admiration, "Mr. Ying, you guessed it all along?"
Yunying neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply said, "Respond to all changes with constancy. I suspect there are people watching from the shadows. Have your trusted confidants send a message to have some highly skilled soldiers lie in ambush around the area under the cover of night."
Mo Er nodded, "I also think today went exceptionally smoothly. The Empress's plan said that there would definitely be casualties and that we should know how to make choices, but today everyone returned safely, with at most some wounds, and no one died."
Yunying pointed to several places on the map, straightened up and walked to the table, poured a glass of water for the two of them, asked them to sit down, and sat down herself.
The voice mocked, "Yes, no one was injured or killed. We'll only be overjoyed and shocked, feeling incredibly lucky. We won't even think about why no one died. This gives them an opportunity to think we've won."
"If things continue like this, tonight we should be drinking and feasting, having a wild party, while they..."
"They will use this opportunity to wipe us out completely, leaving us no chance to recover." Yunying's voice turned cold.
Mo Er's voice was solemn, "It seems that tonight is the most crucial moment."
Tonight is the time for the two nations to fight to the death, and if what Yunying said is true, tonight's celebration will become their grave.
"We can't alert them, after all, we don't know who leaked the news. The Mo family army and the people I brought would never do such a thing."
Mo Er was somewhat skeptical, since Yun Ying had not revealed the origins of the Ever Victorious Army to him until now.
Yunying glanced at Mo Er, who awkwardly looked away, thus missing the hint of admiration in Yunying's eyes.
"They come from the wild lands. Master originally named them the Wild Army, but that name attracted some attention, so he changed it to the Ever-Victorious Army, which has a better meaning. They have long been abandoned by this continent, and given what happened later, it is impossible for them to betray Master or me."
"As for the Mo Family Army, their loyalty to the Tianmo Kingdom is beyond question," Yunying continued.
"What? They're from the wilderness? These people were subdued by Her Majesty all by herself?" Mo Er ignored the second half of the sentence, his tone somewhat incredulous.
Yun Ying nodded and recounted how Yun Qingluo had taken advantage of Mo Beichen's absence to go to the desolate lands to subdue these people.
Even now, she still feels terrified. Yun Qingluo, pregnant with twins, took only a few people and headed straight for the desolate land.
She never mentioned how many assassination attempts or hardships she encountered on that journey.
Even when she fell off the cliff, she accepted everyone's misunderstanding and the resentment of Mo Beichen's subordinates with a smile.
This was the moment they had been waiting for, the moment when everyone thought that Tianmo Kingdom was doomed to defeat Dongwu Kingdom in their war, so they could launch a fierce attack.
Tell the world that Tianmo Kingdom will not lose.
After today, the world will remember her name and the ever-victorious general who named her.
Mo Er bowed towards the direction of the capital, saying, "I was foolish. The Empress and the Emperor are truly a perfect match."
Mo Er looked in the direction of the capital and sighed in his heart. After today, the resentment that the Mo family army had towards the Empress would truly dissipate, completely dissipate.
Yunying glanced at the sky outside and frowned slightly. "General Mo, make the arrangements properly. The show is about to begin tonight."
Mo Er coldly swept his gaze across the camp. "No matter who this person is, this general will not let him die easily."
Mo Er and Yun Ying discussed some more details, and then Mo Er left.
He summoned Mo San, Mo Si, Mo Jiu, and Tie Lang, and told them what had happened. They were all furious. If Mo Er hadn't held them back rationally, they would have rushed out to confront them.
“General Tie, you have the most men, and you arrived later. If you send men to ambush us around the area, it shouldn’t attract attention.”
Iron Wolf whispered, "General Mo, I will personally lead men to ambush them."
Mo Er shook his head, "No, none of you leaders can leave everyone's sight, otherwise we'll alert the enemy. Remember, send people you trust."
"Yes, Iron Wolf obeys." Iron Wolf clasped his hands in a salute.
Mo Er looked at the other three people and said, "The bonfire will be held as scheduled tonight, but there is no wine in the military camp. Someone will come to inform us of this later and suggest that we take some people to buy wine and meat. You should act according to the situation. Mr. Ying has already sent a team to ambush you on your way."
Mo San's anger hadn't subsided. "Could that person be the traitor?"
Mo Er remained silent, but Mo Jiu spoke up in denial, "No, how could they possibly show themselves so easily?"
"Mr. Ying and I deduce that they will make their move and capture our people on the way to purchase the wine. When our people fail to return, we will realize that something has happened. Then, logically, the army will be split into two teams, one to search for our people and the other to defend the position. The enemy will probably target one of our teams and then wipe them out one by one."
"So they'll target the people on that side first?" Mo Jiu asked softly.
Mo Er replied, "No matter which side it is, we must make sure they never return. However, Mr. Ying speculates that she will take action against the team that went out to search for the missing person. She has already provided medicine. Mo San and Mo Si, when you lead the team to search for the missing person, make sure everyone takes the antidote beforehand."
"As for An Jiu, he will remain at the camp to prepare for battle."
"Yes, General."
Mo Er confirmed the details with several people one by one before everyone left.
Fortunately, Mo Er, Mo San, Mo Si, and Tie Lang frequently entered and exited the general's camp, so this time, no one suspected anything.
Sure enough, a little while later, someone suggested that they go to buy some wine. However, what was unexpected was that it was someone from the Changsheng Army.
After Mo Er and the others left, they discreetly sent someone to keep an eye on this person.
When Yunying heard about this, she sneered repeatedly, "It seems that the other party is also a smart man, and did not let the soldiers of Tianlang Kingdom take the lead."
However, this doesn't change anything. Yunying knows the true nature of the Ever Victorious Army. Before they came to the battlefield, although they pledged their loyalty, they also took medicine. The medicine can only be neutralized when they return to the Valley of Divine Healers, so they cannot betray them.
Sure enough, those who made the purchases didn't return. Some people realized something was wrong and suggested going to look for them.
"General, could it be that the enemy has discovered us? Shall we go and search for them?" The speaker was from the Mo family army.
Mo Er pondered for a moment, "Here's what we'll do, Mo San and Mo Si, you two take more men with you. I suspect there's already an ambush there, just waiting for us to walk right into their trap."
"Yes, General." Mo San and Mo Si accepted the order and led their troops away.
