Chapter 1155

Li Yue looked at the other party and thought it over briefly in his mind.

He wondered whether he had ever seen this fellow before.

After thinking for a moment, he felt he had no particular impression of the fellow in front of him.

So Li Yue looked at the other party and asked, "Which lord are you?"

Hearing Li Yue's question, the man immediately came back to himself, looked at Li Yue, and said, "My name is Kasarst, I'm the vice lord of our Kasar Territory. Are you really Lord Chenxi? How could that be?"

"How could this be? Isn't Lord Chenxi already dead?"

"Right, he was already dead back then, so how could he still be alive!? Could it be—could it be that someone is impersonating him!?"

For a moment, many of the people around the scene began to talk over one another.

Li Yue:

He looked at Kasarst, still unable to quite recall who the other party actually was.

"Um, have we met before?" Li Yue asked.

Hearing these words, Kasarst's expression froze for a moment, then he looked at Li Yue and said, "Lord Chenxi, do you really not remember who I am? Back then, I served under you, and we fought the demon race together!"

After saying that, he seemed to recall something and explained, "Oh, right, Lord Chenxi, you're so high and mighty, it's perfectly normal that you wouldn't remember me."

Li Yue:

Hearing the other's words, Li Yue merely smiled faintly.

Then he asked again, "I'm really a bit embarrassed, but there are simply too many people I've had dealings with—I couldn't recall you for the moment."

Hearing this, Kasarst didn't take it to heart.

"By the way, Lord Chenxi, my lord, what's going on with you? How did you come back to life? Back then, we all thought you were already dead!"

Li Yue gave a slight smile and said, "It's a rather long story, but clearly, back then, I just barely managed to escape once."

After hearing this, Kasarst immediately nodded to show his understanding.

Then Kasarst turned to Li Yue and asked, "Lord Chenxi, I wonder if there's something important about your stopping us here?"

Li Yue: Mm, this matter is indeed somewhat important.

While speaking, Li Yue's gaze gathered on a soldier who had come along with them.

Hearing this, a look of puzzlement appeared on Kasarst's face.

Then the soldier slowly stepped out from the ranks.

His gaze fell on Kasarst: "It's like this, my lord. I've come under the orders of Lord Death, and the purpose of this trip is to inform you, my lord, to head west and prepare to rendezvous with the others."

"West?" Kasarst was a bit surprised to hear this.

"Isn't the west where the demon race is? Will it really work to go there?"

Lord Death had also anticipated such a reaction, so he had specially added a reminder when issuing the order. If each of them fled on their own, the demon race would be able to attack without any restraint. In that case, it would be better to gather what strength remained—doing so might still leave a slim chance of turning the tide.

Hearing these words, Kasarst fell silent.

Although he was unwilling to admit it.

All of this was, in fact, the truth.

He looked at Li Yue and the others, his face shifting between dark and light, no one knowing what was on his mind.

Li Yue looked at the other's appearance and immediately asked, "What do you all think? What do you plan to do?"

Hearing this, Kasarst glanced at the people beside him, then looked at Li Yue and asked in a low voice, "Lord Chenxi, my lord, do you have any plans going forward?"

"Basically, I'm going to meet with the other lords, to rally everyone's strength once more. After all, relying on the strength of just one or two lords simply won't be enough to accomplish these things."

"In that case, let's do as Lord Death instructed!"

Hearing this, Li Yue nodded.

At this point, Li Yue's gaze fell on Kasarst, and he said, "Kasarst, come over here for a moment, there's still something I want to tell you."

Hearing this, Kasarst— but in the end he still stepped forward and followed the other over.

Arriving at a secluded corner, Li Yue glanced at the people around and asked in a low voice.

"Kasarst, among your subordinates, are there any rather unusual fellows?"

"Unusual fellows?" Kasarst really didn't quite understand what Li Yue was saying.

"I mean people who've had fairly frequent contact with the demon race."

The moment these words were spoken, Kasarst shook his head repeatedly.

"Lord Chenxi, you absolutely mustn't speak so carelessly. Even if I had the nerve, I wouldn't dare let anyone do such a thing!"

Hearing this, Li Yue also realized his words had been a bit exaggerated.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood me. I mean, in the fighting against the demon race, are there any fellows who were thought to be dead but actually survived?"

"Does that count you?"

Kasarst asked.

Li Yue shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, you're really overthinking it. I mean people other than me!"
