Chapter 1034

Finally, the Demon Race wizard could no longer hold back and began begging for mercy, his eyes staring fixedly at the Death Lord until they nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Kill you? That would be too kind. Of course, if you tell us the intelligence I want to know, perhaps I can help fulfill your little request."

The Death Lord said with a wicked smile on his face.

Looking at the Death Lord's face and hearing those words, the Demon Race wizard's complexion instantly turned black.

He knew very well in his heart that the Death Lord was merely mocking him.

"Hmph, don't dream of it. If you want to know any news, unless I die. Otherwise..."

The Demon Race wizard knew that once he revealed the intelligence, it would be the moment of his death; if he didn't speak, at least he would still have a chance to live.

It was just that this chance to live came with prolonged suffering.

The Death Lord's anger flared up immediately.

"In that case, don't blame me."

Thus, what followed was cruel treatment.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sky began to gradually brighten.

The dagger in the Death Lord's hand had been stained red by the other's blood countless times.

The Demon Race wizard's will had completely collapsed, yet he still gritted his teeth and held on.

"Damn, is this guy really that stubborn?" The Death Lord panted heavily and said slowly.

The God-Demon Lord said slowly: "Alright, you've been tired for an entire night. It seems there is no way to make him talk right now. There is still plenty of time; take it slowly."

The Death Lord nodded and did not say anything more.

Thus, the two prepared to rest.

Before leaving, the God-Demon Lord fed the Demon Race wizard some medicine to treat his injuries; after all, if he died, he would have no value, so it was necessary to ensure he could survive.

"You, you beasts. I will never let you off; just you wait."

The Demon Race wizard lay on the ground, shouting loudly.

In the early morning, Li Yue sat in the Lord's Hall, organizing relevant information about each lord.

At this moment, Ka Luoer rushed in hurriedly.

"My lord, my lord, it's bad, it's bad."

Seeing the panic on Ka Luoer's face, Li Yue frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What has happened?"

"A report from the front line: the Demon Race's great army has gathered at the entrance of Lord Chenxi's territory. Judging by this, they are preparing to attack our Lord Chenxi's territory," Ka Luoer said.

Hearing Ka Luoer's words, Li Yue immediately frowned: "So soon? We just raided them last night, and they are coming today?"

Ka Luoer nodded, anxiety showing on her face.

Li Yue pondered for a moment, then said to Ka Luoer: "Order each lord to assemble here, and strengthen the border forces. Do you understand?"

"Yes, your subordinate obeys your command."

Watching Ka Luoer retreat, Li Yue fell into deep thought.

The invasion by the Demon Race's great army is a major event for Lord Chenxi's territory.

Li Yue felt somewhat worried; could Lord Chenxi's territory, with its current military deployment, defeat the Demon Race?

Before long, each lord received the news that the Demon Race had begun to initiate war and immediately came to the Lord's Hall of Lord Chenxi's territory.

Li Yue glanced at everyone and simply asked, "Who will go out to fight?"

The moment this question was asked, everyone was stunned.

No one dared to step forward.

After all, under the current situation, who would be willing to go out to fight? Yesterday we dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Race; now their attack is simply to seek revenge. Going out to fight would be tantamount to suicide.

Li Yue did not expect this situation either, so he could only shift his gaze to the many lords.

Facing Li Yue's gaze, many lords merely shrugged slightly.

Seeing the silent crowd, Li Yue knew they would not easily go out to fight, so he said, "If you do not wish to go out to fight, then hand over your military power to me."

"No, no, Lord Chenxi, how can you take our military power? If we give it to you, what kind of lords would we still be?"

"Exactly, exactly, Lord Chenxi, you cannot do this. If you seize the military power, won't we become a disorganized mob?"

Hearing everyone oppose him, Li Yue did not get angry at all; instead, he continued to ask, "In that case, why is there not a single person willing to go out and meet the enemy? Do you not have even a shred of confidence?"

Everyone remained silent; no one dared to reply, and the room stayed quiet.

Seeing the silent expressions of everyone, Li Yue already had a clear idea in his heart.

He looked at everyone and said, "I know what you are thinking in your hearts: you just want to use the war to weaken other lords' forces and reap the benefits after the war ends? But what time is it now, and you still harbor such filthy thoughts? If you disagree with my opinion, just get out of Lord Chenxi's territory immediately."

After hearing Li Yue's scolding, everyone was startled and quickly lowered their heads, daring not to look Li Yue directly in the eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yue sighed.

Just then, Princess Feifeng's monarch, Todd Nelson, stepped forward and said, "Lord Chenxi, I am willing to lead a team to meet the Demon Race in battle."

"Good."

Li Yue glanced at Princess Feifeng's monarch, Todd Nelson, then said to Nelson, "In that case, I will give you three million troops to meet the enemy. However, this time I hope that even if you do not defeat the Demon Race, you must not lose a single inch of land in Lord Chenxi's territory. Can you do it?"

"Yes, I promise you."

"Very well. Go back and prepare. Once the battle begins, I will arrange for the great army to move to Lord Chenxi's territory to provide support."

"I understand."

As Princess Feifeng's monarch, Todd Nelson, left, Li Yue's expression became serious. He said to everyone, "Each of you must contribute two hundred thousand troops. If you have any objections, speak up now; if not, that would be even better."

After hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the meeting is adjourned," Li Yue said lightly.

After speaking, Li Yue left the hall first, preparing to go to the front line to check the situation.
