I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

On a small bridge not far away, several children were excitedly discussing what happened last night:

"Brother, are you serious? Does the Jiang family really want to confront that powerful general?" A little boy asked the older child beside him curiously.

"Hmm!" The boy in question nodded proudly, "It's true. I heard that the Youlan Organization has also gotten involved, which makes the situation even more complicated."

At that moment, a loud horn suddenly blasted from the city gate. Everyone held their breath, nervously watching the gates as they were about to open. Soon, several figures in uniform, armed with spears and swords, appeared—the Jiang family army, ready to march.

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers. "Come on! Don't let those outsiders succeed!" an old man waved his arms and shouted in support of the Jiang family.

At the same time, on the road leading to the city wall at the other end, Mo Nianran, Yun Lao and several other wise men were discussing battle strategies while walking: "We must make full use of the geographical advantages here to lure the enemy into a trap." He explained seriously to everyone around him.

Elder Yun, who was following nearby, nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, but we must also prepare for the worst-case scenario. After all, there are too many variables on the battlefield."

Just as the two were chatting happily, a figure suddenly approached them at a rapid speed—it was Feihong, the man who had delivered the important intelligence last night. "Sir, old sir, please wait a moment! I have a new discovery to report to you!"

Mo Nianran quickly stopped and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"I've noticed that the enemy forces haven't fully assembled yet... According to the latest intelligence, some troops are still on the way." Feihong said this with a serious expression, and then added, "But this doesn't mean we can be careless!"

After hearing this, Mo Nianran's eyes flashed with a gleam of light and then he made a decisive decision: "That's perfect! We can use this to preemptively disrupt their deployment. Go and notify all those who are ready to act immediately!"

As the battle was about to begin, Jiang Caiwei, charged with protecting her homeland, showed no sign of slacking off. Standing atop the city wall, she surveyed the entire city and issued a series of instructions to her accompanying personnel: "If fighting breaks out, everyone must hold your ground and not retreat a single step without authorization! Only by uniting as one to resist the enemy can we protect this land from destruction..."

As the sun gradually rose to mid-height, the air thickened with the scent of war. In the distance, dust billowed across the plains as a raging army slowly approached. This scene suddenly brought a heavy feeling to one's heart...

Just as everyone was busy preparing for the battle, Mo Nianran received another secret message. "What? What did you say?" After reading the contents, his face showed an unprecedented shock.

Seeing the other party's anxious expression, his companions cast concerned glances and asked, "What's going on?" "What happened? Did the enemy make any new moves?"

However, at this moment, Mo Nianran simply took a deep breath and looked off into the distance, as if he had already made some important decision. "Yes, there have indeed been unexpected changes... but this may not be a bad thing for us. Instead, it may bring a key opportunity to reverse the situation."

Everyone looked at each other, obviously confused by this sudden turn of events: What kind of shocking secret is hidden in this secret letter, and what kind of suspense will it bring to the development of the story?

All the answers were still shrouded in mystery... The secret letter in Mo Nianran's hand seemed to be burning with flames, causing him to frown. Seeing this, Elder Yun couldn't help but take a few steps closer and asked softly, "What exactly happened? Why are you so shocked?"

Mo Nianran slowly unfolded the secret letter, a complex expression in his eyes. "According to the latest intelligence from Flying Eagle, the Iron-Blooded King's army is not only incomplete, but also experiencing some internal conflicts," he said softly. "This may be good news we didn't expect."

Upon hearing this, Elder Yun's eyes widened. "What do you mean? What exactly is the contradiction?" The others nearby also listened attentively, afraid to miss any details.

"It seems that some generals in the Iron Blood Army have objections to this expedition, and a fierce dispute has occurred between them and the Military King." Mo Nianran handed the secret letter to Elder Yun, "You will know the details at a glance."

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and one young man excitedly slapped his thigh. "So, maybe their team isn't as united as we thought? Have our chances increased significantly?"

At this moment, a nearby vendor joined the discussion. "If there really is a problem within the enemy ranks... Oh, that's fantastic! That would give us a better chance of victory!" His words were echoed by several nearby vendors and customers, their faces filled with joy and anticipation for a turning point in the war.

Just as Jiang Yin and his group had arrived at the foot of the city wall and were preparing to deploy for battle, a captain in charge of the guards hurried over and said, "Sir, a few villagers have come over there. They say they have urgent information for you!"

Jiang Yin nodded in agreement, and moments later he saw several villagers who looked a little flustered but had serious expressions appear before him.

One of the younger men stepped forward and said, "Hello, adults. We found a suspicious person at the entrance of the village. He said he was looking for you and knew something important."

Just as everyone was looking puzzled, a strange face emerged from the crowd. It turned out to be the Youlan Organization spy who had hurriedly left at night. "Young Master Jiang, please listen to me before making a decision. You are indeed facing great difficulties against the Iron Blood Army, but I have a secret weapon that can turn the situation around - a miraculous medicine that can greatly enhance combat effectiveness!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar, and even Mo Nianran, who had remained calm, showed a hint of curiosity. "Is this medicine reliable? How can you prove it's effective?"

The mysterious man smiled slightly, reached out from his pocket and pulled out a small porcelain bottle to show everyone, "Well, I'm willing to test this on the spot for you all to see."

As he spoke, he took out a small amount of powder and sprinkled it directly into his mouth and swallowed it. Then, there was a crackling sound, and a faint light suddenly emanated from his entire body...
