Chapter 1160: Useful

He looked at Li Yue and said angrily, "I hate people like this the most—these dogs who betray their own side. But Lord Chenxi, my lord, don't you feel this has the flavor of a forced confession?"

"Indeed, I know what you are worried about. But how could the aura of the Demon Clan appear on a person without reason? I might be wrong, but the aura of the Demon Clan never is."

"If you do not believe me regarding this matter, we can prove it in other ways. If my judgment is wrong, I am willing to apologize publicly and accept your punishment." Li Yue said seriously.

Kasarst frowned and said, his eyes turning toward the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Kasarst, his face filled with a look of pleading.

Seeing such a middle-aged man, Kasarst sighed and said, "Since Lord Chenxi, my lord, has spoken thus, I will believe you this once."

After hearing Kasarst's words, a trace of despair appeared on the middle-aged man's face. But what could he do? After all, he had committed the mistake, and he must bear the consequences.

"Someone, drag this fellow away and kill him."

"My lord, I was wrong! I dare not do it again! My lord, spare my life!" the middle-aged man shouted in panic.

But his cries were muffled by soldiers beside him, and his body was carried away by several soldiers.

Seeing such a scene, Li Yue was thinking of another matter.

"Wait a moment. Kasarst, if you trust me, why not lend this person to me for a while?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, Kasarst frowned and asked, "Lord Chenxi, my lord, this fellow has already committed a crime; according to the rules, he should simply be killed. What use could he possibly have?"

Li Yue said, "Since the Demon Clan wants to use him to do something, why don't we turn around and use his value instead?"

Kasarst's eyes brightened, and he said, "Good. Lord Chenxi, my lord, since you have said so, naturally I cannot say much more. Very well, hand this person over to you to use; just do not kill him. But you must remember one thing: absolutely do not let this person escape, or if he notifies the Demon Clan, it will be disastrous."

"Rest assured, I naturally understand such matters."

Li Yue patted his chest and promised.

"That is good. Lord Chenxi, my lord, then I shall take my leave first." Having said this, Kasarst left Li Yue's side.

Li Yue waved his hand and called two people over.

"Keep an eye on this young man. If he runs, you two will bring your heads to me. Do you understand?"

The two immediately nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Li Yue finally felt relieved.

Immediately, he shifted his gaze to the middle-aged man.

"Do not play tricks in front of me. I can save you once, and I can also casually crush you like an ant. Do you understand?"

Li Yue said coldly.

"I understand, I understand. I will obediently cooperate with you. As long as Lord Chenxi, my lord, gives me a path to live." The middle-aged man hurriedly replied.

Li Yue nodded, waved his hand, and shouted to his own people, "Then everyone prepare. We will set off for the next location. This time, we will advance by attacking."

The attack he spoke of meant using tactics to dismantle the enemy's defenses, thereby achieving his own objectives.

Hearing Li Yue's words, the soldiers became excited one after another.

On the contrary, Kasarst felt some doubt in his heart.

What is going on? What do these fellows want to do? Why are they so keen on fighting the Demon Clan?

Do they not fear the Demon Clan's retaliation?

Everyone, follow me.

Having said this, Li Yue led the soldiers deep toward a certain direction.

Before leaving, Li Yue said, "Lord Kasarst, I must also go notify the other lords, so I will not go with you. All banquets eventually end; let us part here. When we meet again on the battlefield, we shall exchange pleasantries then."

"In that case, I will not try to detain you further. Lord Chenxi, my lord, may you have a safe journey."

"Mm."

Having said this, Li Yue took the lead and rushed away at great speed.

Watching that figure in the distance, Kasarst shook his head.

"Truly unexpected that Lord Chenxi is still alive; it is indeed a surprise. But with him here, perhaps this war still has a sliver of hope."

At this moment, he roared at the soldiers beside him, "Everyone, turn the direction of advance and head west. Rejoin the main force. Do you understand?"

Yes! My lord.

Hearing the lord's order, the soldiers immediately took action and moved forward quickly.

Their movement was also very rapid; in less than twenty minutes, they had gathered all personnel of the entire army, ready to depart.

At this time, Li Yue had already led his own people tens of kilometers away.

On the road, a soldier asked curiously, "My lord, why do you want this fellow to live? What use is he?"

This fellow naturally referred to the middle-aged man.

Hearing the soldier's words, Li Yue smiled and said, "Of course he is useful. Tell me, if the Demon Clan is led by the nose by a piece of intelligence, what benefits would that bring us?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, the soldier thought carefully and immediately cried out in surprise.

"My lord, so that is how it is. I understand."

Hearing his subordinate understand his plan, Li Yue smiled slightly and said, "Good that you understand. Then let us continue our journey now."

After finishing, Li Yue led his people to travel quickly; he too needed to speed up his pace.

Under Li Yue's leadership, the soldiers advanced rapidly.

Not long after, they had arrived above a mountain range.

Looking at this mountain range, Li Yue said with a smile, "This is our third target."

Having said this, Li Yue took out a map; this map was precisely information regarding the surroundings.

These are the monitoring points the Demon Clan has set up within human territory.

Seeing this map, these soldiers could not help but show expressions of shock; they never expected there to be so many Demon Clan soldiers here.

Li Yue pointed to several positions on it and said, "These are the monitoring points the Demon Clan has set up here. We must find a way to break through the defenses the Demon Clan has arranged here; otherwise, in the future, whenever we launch a major military operation, we will easily expose our objectives."

Having said this, Li Yue showed this map to everyone.

However, the demon race's surveillance points are hidden very deeply. Under normal circumstances, any attempt by us to break out would almost certainly fail. But things are different now. I have a plan that might just succeed.

Hearing that Li Yue had a plan to succeed, the soldiers grew extremely excited.

"What plan? Lord, just say it—we'll follow your arrangements," one soldier said excitedly.
