Chapter 1153

The Demon Clan's great army began to move.

Their target was clear: Li Yue and his group.

They intended to slaughter every single one of these damned fellows to the last!

At this moment, Li Yue led his people to a dilapidated village.

In front.

Right now, the villagers had long since evacuated completely, leaving behind a scene of utter chaos.

Seeing all this, Li Yue frowned.

Li Yue ordered everyone to search the surroundings to see if they could find anything useful.

After searching for a while, many soldiers shook their heads repeatedly.

It seemed the soldiers had not found anything of value.

However, they did discover traces and clues that a large force had lingered nearby.

Li Yue took a look; the time since this force had left was not particularly long.

Presumably, if they hurried their journey, they would not need much time to find the people they sought.

However,

Li Yue fixed his gaze on the soldiers beside him.

Due to the long journey recently, many were so exhausted they could barely keep up with his steps, let alone having encountered battles with the Demon Clan along the way.

Li Yue stood in place, hesitating for a moment, then gave an order without hesitation.

"Everyone rest in place for one hour."

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers quickly began sitting on the ground to rest, and also started eating.

However, while these soldiers ate, they could not help but cast their glances toward Li Yue.

Li Yue originally did not care, but being looked at by so many people made him somewhat curious and puzzled.

"Why are you all looking at me like this?"

Li Yue asked.

A soldier beside him slowly spoke up.

"My lord, you say we have been wandering around for these days; what exactly are we preparing to do?"

Another soldier chimed in at this moment: "Yes, my lord, without a target destination, we have no confidence. Besides, everyone's rations are nearly exhausted; we must find a way to replenish them."

After hearing these soldiers' words, Li Yue pondered for a moment.

Then he spoke: "Now, the Lord Alliance is almost in complete disarray, so the urgent matter we must do is properly integrate the forces."

"If the Demon Clan picks us off one by one, it will be troublesome. As for rations and such, everyone must endure a little for now. We will replenish them once we reach the territory of other lords."

Hearing Li Yue's words, these soldiers nodded in agreement.

In fact, these words were spoken by Li Yue for the soldiers present to hear.

More importantly, he was thinking of the intelligence he had obtained within the Demon Clan's military camp.

Currently, the Demon Clan is adopting a strategy of bribing the alliance, hoping to dismantle the Lord Alliance's strength. Therefore, he must inform other lords of this news during this period.

Otherwise, once the Demon Clan truly achieves this method, the danger will fall upon us.

At this moment, Li Yue suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, why have the soldiers responsible for scouting Demon Clan intelligence not returned recently? Are there any movements regarding the Demon Clan?"

Li Yue asked in confusion.

Hearing Li Yue's inquiry, a soldier nearby replied: "My lord, I have a bit of news on my end."

"Oh? Tell me." Li Yue said.

"According to the messages recently transmitted from our scouts, during this period, a large number of Demon Clan soldiers have been transferred to a certain area; we do not know exactly what for."

This soldier answered truthfully.

Hearing these words, Li Yue immediately frowned.

Why are so many Demon Clan soldiers being transferred?

Could it be for some important matter?

Li Yue pressed: "In which direction did they depart?"

"I am not clear on that; I only heard that the Demon Clan great army is mobilizing troops. Furthermore, we learned that this Demon Clan great army likely came from the Western Regions. As for exactly where they are going, we cannot verify that for now."

"However, my lord, even if they intend to reach the border, it will still take a very long time."

"Our time is relatively abundant now; there is no need to worry too much. Even if they have some plan, within Yishiban Society, there will not be too much trouble."

Hearing these soldiers' words, Li Yue nodded, indicating agreement.

He gave an order: "Since that is the case, you all rest here for a while first. I have some matters to attend to and will return shortly."

After Li Yue finished giving his instructions, he walked alone toward the distance.

"My lord, where are you going?"

A soldier asked curiously.

Li Yue gave a simple reply.

"I am checking the situation around."

Li Yue said.

Afterwards, Li Yue walked alone toward the surroundings.

Li Yue's vision was extremely broad; he constantly observed the scenery around him along the way.

Gradually, Li Yue arrived at the location of a small hill.

This location was not particularly far from the village; one could easily see the entire scene of the village from there.

However, Li Yue did not pay special attention to these, but instead focused his gaze on what lay in the distance.

There was a retreat route of the allied forces.

At this moment, Li Yue could still simply see people moving slowly in the distance.

"I wonder when I will be able to catch up with their pace!"

Li Yue sighed and spoke to himself.

In the time that followed, he did nothing but simply observe the situation around him.

Time passed bit by bit.

At this time, everyone had rested enough.

Thus, they rose from their positions one by one and began to follow Li Yue toward the distance again.

After walking for about two hours, everyone finally saw the group ahead.

My lord, the group ahead has discovered our tracks, a soldier said.

Li Yue's eyes immediately brightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

Hearing this, Li Yue immediately looked up toward the distance.

As expected, there was a group moving slowly ahead.
