Chapter 1136

Li Yue waved his hand: "Since it is already known, I will not speak any nonsense. Quickly, go do the proper business."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the remaining soldiers and said: "Find a spot, rest well. Tonight, I will put on a show for everyone."

Hearing this, a soldier, extremely curious, asked: "My lord, is there a good show?"

"When night comes, you will know."

Li Yue did not say it out; instead, he deliberately kept a secret here.

Since Li Yue did not wish to speak, those around him truly found it hard to ask much more.

Thus, within this valley, they casually found several hidden places to rest.

Of course, the sentries were naturally not left out by Li Yue.

Now, one could say that within the Demon Race's territory, everything must be handled with caution.

At this moment, inside a Demon Race military camp.

They had just received an intelligence report.

"What? A group of people attacked our forces pursuing the remnants, causing over a thousand deaths?"

Upon hearing the words of the soldier under him, a Demon Race General's face instantly changed drastically.

He even found it somewhat hard to believe what he had heard.

"Yes, that is correct, General. Our people are now pursuing those damned fellows, but... but we lost them."

The Demon Race General immediately propped his chin, sinking into deep thought.

"Strange, what exactly is going on? How could such a group suddenly appear? Logically, the main force of the Lord Alliance has already retreated; what remains are only the old, weak, sick, and disabled. How could such a powerful opponent appear?"

At this very moment, countless questions kept spinning in the Demon Race General's mind.

He thought for half a day but still could not figure out who this group that suddenly appeared truly was.

So he asked again: "Roughly how many are these people?"

"This... this is not entirely clear. The surviving soldiers heard that there were only about a hundred people!"

"What?"

At this moment, the Demon Race General before him became even angrier.

To speak the truth, he truly did not expect the enemy to be so few; being only about one-tenth of the number that ambushed them, they still caused considerable damage to his army.

"Damn it, what are you all doing? Over a hundred people, and you still could not catch them."

"My lord, this matter is purely not my fault. First, we were quite far from the forward unit; second, those damned fellows were simply too cunning. After the attack, they had no intention of fighting; they just ran away at full speed."

"Our soldiers wear thick armor; pursuing them is almost very difficult."

"Forget it. I did not even take these hundred-plus people seriously. They must be part of the remaining main leadership force. Under these circumstances, they are utterly defenseless."

The Demon Race General spoke up to this point, paused slightly, then said: "Very well, take part of the troops and search in the direction those people left. I think they should not have run far!"

"Yes!"

Thus, a Demon Race army of over a thousand people emerged from the Demon Race camp and headed toward the direction where Li Yue and the others had last run.

Li Yue was resting when, at this time, the soldiers he had originally sent out to investigate the surrounding terrain returned.

The soldier panted heavily, kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"My lord, I have, as you requested, checked the surrounding terrain and, in the process, hand-drawn a map."

Li Yue leaned against a large tree; hearing the other's voice, he slightly opened his eyes.

He casually handed a water jug from his side to the soldier and said: "Do not rush; drink some water first, then speak slowly."

The soldier took the water jug Li Yue handed to him, said nothing, picked it up, and gulped water straight into his mouth.

After quite some time, he finally stopped his action.

He wiped his mouth, then took out the map in his hand.

Li Yue leaned over to look carefully.

The soldier pointed at the map and explained to Li Yue: "This is our current position; this area is the valley we are now in. Inside the valley, there are countless crisscrossing roads and stone forests, and also..."

The soldier explained the map he had drawn in detail, word by word.

Li Yue listened carefully on the side.

"... That is roughly all." The soldier finished the introduction, his gaze falling on Li Yue.

Li Yue looked at the map, searched for corresponding error points, then curiously pointed to a place.

"What place is this?"

The soldier looked, recalled for a moment, and explained: "Oh, that is a river. The river is not considered very large, so I did not mark it."

"A river?" Li Yue seemed to think of something and continued asking: "Where does this river flow?"

"It seems to flow toward the Demon Race camp. In the location of the latter half of the river, I saw Demon Race guards nearby, so I did not dare approach."
