Lieutenant General Wang set more than one fire in the grain and grass area. He followed Xu Zhao's instructions and set fire to grain and grass in several places. Grain and grass are flammable, so the fire spread quickly and gathered together, making it impossible to put out.

Even if it is finally put out, it will probably be almost burned out.

The water reserves were not much to begin with, and soon they ran out. The soldiers of Mobei State had no choice but to pick up brooms and keep putting out the blazing fire.

The grain and fodder area was in a mess with people coming and going.

Deputy General Wang took this opportunity to leave the Mobei military camp and rode back to the Yue Kingdom military camp with Chatur's head at full speed.

Lana hurriedly pulled over several lieutenants who were commanding, "Chatul's head has been taken!"

The surroundings were noisy, and several lieutenants could not hear what Lana said at all. Someone shouted loudly: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Chatul was assassinated and his head was taken off!" Lana shouted loudly, without holding back his voice at all.

This time, everyone around him could hear it clearly.

The news of Chatur's death spread with the wind, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The soldiers who were originally holding brooms all stopped what they were doing. Flames shot up into the sky, and the flames reflected on the soldiers' faces, making them red and illuminating the sky.

"General Chatur has been killed!"

"Even the general is dead, how can we fight this war?"

"The food and fodder were burned for no apparent reason. This is probably a punishment from the gods!"

"It must be because of our constant conflict with the Moon Nation that the Heavens are displeased!"

Pedantic people always blame God for all their misfortunes.

The rumor of divine punishment spread like a plague.

For a moment, the soldiers of Mobei State, believing that it was a punishment from heaven, knelt on the ground, banging their heads on the ground and begging for forgiveness from heaven.

Lana and the other lieutenants were still trying to come up with a plan, but before they could even begin, the people around them inexplicably knelt on the ground, muttering, "God, please forgive me!"

Lana: “???”

What’s going on? Why does it involve the gods?

Lana never believed in ghosts and gods. He scolded the kneeling soldiers, "What gods? This is just a trick of the Moon Kingdom. First they set fire to the food and then took advantage of the chaos to kill General Chatur. Next, their army will be at the gates of the city!"

"General Chatur doesn't believe in God and even despises God. That's why we suffer God's punishment!" I don't know which soldier kneeling on the ground spoke boldly.

The next second, someone chimed in: "There were so many people in this tent, how could General Chatur be killed while everyone else was safe and sound? It must be because he disrespected the gods in the past!"

"That's pure nonsense!" Lana shouted angrily. "If you continue to shake the morale of the army, you will be punished by military law!"

"General Lana is so contemptuous of the gods. Aren't you afraid that you will be the next person to be punished by the gods?" The man kneeling in front of Lana suddenly looked up and said loudly.

These words immediately angered Rana. How could he tolerate someone cursing him in front of him?

Lana instantly drew out his sword, and with a flash of sword, he chopped off the head of the man in front of him who was rebelling and misleading the people.

Before the soldier could react, his head and body were separated, and his head rolled to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Lana looked at the bloodstains on the knife with disgust, looked at the silent soldier on the ground with cold eyes, and spat, "Before you say this, don't you think about whether I will punish you!" He raised his eyes and glanced at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him.

This action directly intimidated the people kneeling on the ground. They felt like they were being stared at viciously by wild beasts. No one dared to look up or speak for their dead brother.

At this moment, what is more terrifying than the gods is the evil god in front of him.

The people in the distance didn't know what was happening here, but with everyone working together, the fire was gradually brought under control.

"Put out the fire first, and we'll let this matter go." Lana shook off the blood on the knife and put it back into the sheath.

The group of people were already scared silly by Lana, and they all knelt on the ground in a daze.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" A deputy general on the side shouted angrily when he saw that no one stood up.

Rana's actions immediately established his prestige among several deputy generals, and the people around him were somewhat afraid of him. Without Chatur, Rana became their backbone.

Someone asked, "What should we do now? The fire is so big, I'm afraid there will be very little food left after tonight. If..."

The deputy generals were not fools. They had fought on the battlefield for many years and had used many shady tricks to deal with the Moon Kingdom in the past, but none of them had successfully sneaked into the enemy camp of the Moon Kingdom.

Even ten years ago, when he had his soldiers pretend to be captured, he failed to successfully assassinate the Yue Kingdom's commander-in-chief.

Now, the Yue Kingdom had cleverly infiltrated his army, not only burning their food supplies but also killing their commander, and he didn't even meet the attackers.

As for what the deputy general said, everyone knows what he left unsaid, and this is indeed the most worrying thing right now.

"Report the border situation urgently over eight hundred miles. After the fire is put out, conduct a thorough investigation inside the military camp to find out how the thief sneaked into the camp and how he found the commander's tent." Lana stopped and looked at the fire in front of him.

The entrance to the military camp is heavily guarded, making it difficult to sneak in through the entrance. The commander's tent is the same as any other tent. If one searches one by one, it will be impossible to find no trace at all. With so many tents, it will take a long time just to search. The longer one stays, the higher the risk of being exposed.

Lana gave instructions for the follow-up matters, and at the same time prayed silently in his heart that the Moon Kingdom would not take any action at this time.

After experiencing this fire, many soldiers must be exhausted at this moment, and they don’t have the strength to pick up weapons and fight the enemy.

The fire was finally put out in the second half of the night. Lana pushed away the crowd and saw the mess on the ground. The air was filled with the smell of burnt food and grass, which lingered for a long time.

Many soldiers collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Many of them were soaked in sweat due to the high temperature of the fire. During the fire-fighting process, their faces were covered with soot. The hot air inhaled into their lungs burned them so much that even breathing was painful.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. A sentry stumbled over and came to several lieutenant generals. He stumbled and almost lost his balance. "Generals, a large group of troops is heading towards the camp!"

The sentry looked terrified and uneasy.

In the past, the Moon Kingdom never attacked in the middle of the night, but today was unusual.

Seeing the mess behind the crowd, the sentry's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

It's useless to frown like that!

"Lana, what should we do now?"

Without a head coach, the team was leaderless and the deputy general had to take over temporarily.

"There are only two options now. The first is to fight with the people behind you, but there is a high probability that you will die on the battlefield." In the end, most of them will retreat into the city because they have no ability to fight back.

"What about the second one?" the person next to him asked anxiously. Judging from the current state of everyone, this is no different from committing suicide.

Behind them are the lives of tens of thousands of generals, how can they die in vain?
