Chapter 1096: Fire Oil

At this moment, the Demon God returned to his position, gently waved his hand, and shouted to those nearby: "Summon the senior Demon generals; I wish to discuss countermeasures."

"As you command, Your Majesty the revered Demon God. I shall notify the other generals immediately." The person beside him replied respectfully.

The Demon God nodded slightly, then his gaze fell upon the Demon God guard standing beside him.

Seeing that look from the Demon God, the Demon God guard instantly prostrated himself on the ground, daring not to move a single bit.

The Demon God glanced indifferently at the kneeling Demon God guard and asked calmly: "When you fought the Golden Giant of Stone last time, you failed. Now, when I order you to scout for intelligence, you have failed again. Do you not feel that the duty of serving as my guard is a bit of a waste for you?"

Hearing this, the Demon God guard's forehead broke out in cold sweat. He spoke in a low voice: "I am sorry, Great Demon God Your Majesty. Please forgive me. I guarantee that next time I will do this matter well and absolutely will not fail to live up to your expectations of me."

"Next time? You still want a next time?" The Demon God glanced indifferently at the Demon God guard, then let out a cold snort.

"Please, Your Majesty the Demon God, grant me one chance to atone for my crimes with merit. I absolutely will not disappoint you." The Demon God guard pleaded, his voice filled with fear and terror.

The Demon God let out a faint smile, then waved his hand and said: "Since that is the case, I shall give you one more chance. When the attack begins, you will lead the charge. If you fail again, the Demon Clan will have no further use for your existence. Do you understand?"

As soon as the Demon God finished speaking, the Demon God guard scrambled away from the Demon God Hall, fleeing the Demon God's sight.

The Demon God stood in place, waiting quietly. After a moment, the sound of footsteps approached, and then several Generals appeared before the Demon God.

"My Lord Demon God." The several Generals said in unison.

The Demon God waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"According to the latest reports, Lord Chenxi is engaging in deception. I am very angry. To be tricked by such a petty scheme... so, what should be done next, you all know without me saying it, correct?" The Demon God said indifferently, but anger was already burning in his words.

"As you command." One of the Generals replied respectfully. "Next, we shall act according to your orders, My Lord Demon God, and absolutely will not fail to live up to your expectations of us."

The Demon God nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good. Since that is the case, within one hour, I want to see our forces standing on Lord Chenxi's territory. Is there any problem?"

The Demon God asked coldly.

"No problem at all." The Generals answered in unison.

"Very good. You may withdraw first." The Demon God nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Demon God." The several Generals replied in unison, then turned and withdrew, disappearing outside the Demon God Hall.

At this moment, the Demon Clan's great army gathered once more.

Leading the charge was no one other than the Demon God guard.

Upon seeing the Demon God guard, the other several Generals were extremely curious.

"Eh? My Lord Demon God Guard, why are you here instead of guarding beside Your Majesty the Demon God?" One General could not help but ask.

The Demon God guard looked around, found that no one else was paying attention to them, then lowered his voice and said: "My battle record has disappointed Your Majesty the Demon God. You should understand?"

"Oh, so it was this matter. I see. Just now, when I saw My Lord Demon God's face turn iron-green, it was because of this. I understand."

The other several Generals suddenly realized the truth.

The Demon God guard nodded slightly. He looked into the distance and saw the Demon Clan's forces rapidly approaching him.

Their footsteps grew louder and louder, and with every step, a powerful aura erupted from their bodies, making them appear extremely formidable.

"Since that is the case, I shall lead the charge first. Will everyone follow closely behind?" the Demon God guard asked.

"Of course." The others replied one after another.

"Very good." The Demon God guard shouted loudly.

After letting out a roar, the Demon God guard rushed forward rapidly, while the rest followed behind the Demon God guard.

As the Demon Clan's great army charged, they also saw the Demon God guard.

They were extremely curious in their hearts: How did the Demon God guard come here too? But no one dared to ask anything.

At this moment, the Demon Clan gradually approached the location where Li Yue and the others were positioned.

In an instant, the soldiers of Lord Chenxi's territory hurriedly gathered at their assigned positions, ready for battle at all times.

Watching the Demon God and his group draw ever closer, the soldiers of Lord Chenxi's territory grew increasingly nervous.

"Prepare for battle."

"The Demons are invading."

Seeing the Demon Clan's great army drawing ever closer, Li Yue, the Lord of Lord Chenxi's territory, immediately shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Li Yue's voice, the soldiers immediately focused their full attention on the enemies before them.

Although many were very afraid, they still gritted their teeth and held on.

Seeing the Demons drawing ever closer, Li Yue frowned tightly and clenched his fists.

His heart was extremely anxious at this moment.

At this moment, the Demon God guard stopped his steps and glanced at his surroundings.

In the next instant, he raised his hand, pointed lightly in that direction, and shouted a single word: "Kill!"

Instantly, the Demons behind him began to surge forward wildly.

Li Yue still made no move.

The surrounding soldiers also nervously gripped their weapons tightly.

The two forces drew closer and closer, but Li Yue still showed no sign of intending to attack.

The Demon Clan's great army pressed down. Just at this moment, suddenly, their feet slipped, and a huge deep pit appeared in the ground.

The Demon soldiers who fell into the deep pit were instantly covered in an unknown liquid.

Some brought it to their noses to sniff.

"What is this?"

"Wait, it seems to be fire oil!?"

"Oh my god, we have fallen into a trap!!"

In an instant, the entire Demon Clan's great army fell into chaos.

Everyone, run! Run!

A panicked cry rang out, and everyone rushed toward the place behind them.

The Demon Race's great army collapsed in confusion.

The Demon God Guard froze as well, having no idea what was happening.

At this moment, Li Yue showed not the slightest courtesy and gave a direct order: "Set fire."

As Li Yue's voice fell, an arrow flew out.

With a whoosh, it struck a Demon Race soldier; instantly, flames ignited the oil, and a blazing fire erupted in the deep pit at once. Wails of agony never ceased, the scene utterly grim and terrifying.

This sight stunned the Demon God Guard and terrified the other soldiers.

Quick, put out the fire!

Put out the fire!!

The soldiers cried out in alarm, dancing about as they rushed toward the blaze, but the fire grew ever larger and could not be extinguished.
