Therefore, she struck the person with a lightning bolt and stored all the poison they had prepared in her interspace.
With a bolt of lightning, one of the Western Continent strategists was struck into a pile of black charcoal. He fell straight to the ground and spat out a mouthful of black smoke, frightening everyone.
It also caused a commotion.
The general of the Western Continent heard the commotion and immediately ran over. He was shocked to see the miserable state of the strategist. He quickly asked, “What happened? Why was he struck by lightning while sitting in the room?”
The soldier who served the strategist immediately went forward and bowed. “General, I’m not sure either. I just saw a bolt of lightning suddenly rush in from the window. Then, then… he ended up like this.”
After hearing this, the general went forward to check. After confirming that the strategist was still alive, he heaved a sigh of relief and then asked someone to help him to a bed.
“General, the poison that I prepared earlier has disappeared into thin air,” a soldier ran in and reported.
“What do you mean by disappearing into thin air?” The general turned his head and asked in confusion.
“It just disappeared into thin air. We just watched it disappear.” The soldier replied in panic.
To be honest, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.
Moreover, in order to make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him, he had specially checked and found someone to verify it. The many vats of poison were gone just like that.
The general finally panicked.
He had heard before that people in the Great Ming had been struck by lightning for no reason several times.
Moreover, every time it was Mother God who showed her might, the ones struck were all evil people, or rather, people like King Hui who mistreated human lives.
Thinking of this and connecting it to the disappearance of the poison, he finally understood.
There was an 80% chance that this was really a punishment from Mother God to prevent them from poisoning a large area.
However, given the current situation, would they have to continue wasting time like this? The general was in a dilemma.
When the military doctor arrived, the general also helped with the treatment. He went to find the deputy general and the strategists and told them about the matter. “It seems that using poison won’t work. If you all have any other ideas, you can say it.”
“Isn’t this Mother God getting a little out of her reach?” A deputy general asked.
“Don’t be rude.” The general replied in a bad mood.
“I agree with Mother God’s decision,” the military advisor replied. “Using poison is too harmful. It will also kill many innocent people and livestock.”
“You’re too kind,” the deputy general huffed.
“Alright, no matter what, without the poison, it won’t work. Everyone, hurry up and think about what to do,” the general said.
“What can we do? In the beginning, we only had an advantage in numbers and initiative. Now, these advantages are all gone.
“In addition, the local people are also against us. Unless we double the number of soldiers, I’m afraid there’s no room for victory,” the deputy general replied.
“I’ll take a look at this matter. We should ask the higher-ups for their opinion.
“If they want to fight, they’d quickly send reinforcements and rations over. Otherwise, we will be forced to stop fighting.”
“Stop the war? How is that possible? It had already reached this stage. If we stop the war again, we will have to compensate the Great Ming. The national treasury doesn’t have any money.” The general replied with a troubled expression.
After that, he glanced at the map on the table. The passages that they could enter were all sealed, and there was no chance at all.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and proposed, “If you want to round up a gang, you must get its chief first.. What do you think of capturing King Ning?”
