Li Yue smiled and gently nodded his head at that moment.

"Fine, if you want to be spared, it's not impossible, but I ask you something, you must answer something. If you dare to lie or conceal, you know what your fate will be, don't you?"

Although Li Yue felt extremely angry at these people's behavior, he was also a reasonable person.

So now is giving them a chance to explain.

"Repeat the question just now: why did you do this?" Li Yue asked.

"Why?" When the Lord heard this sentence, he chuckled loudly at the corner of his mouth, as if he had heard something funny.

"Lord Chenxi, you actually ask why? In theory, you should be the one who knows this question best, shouldn't you?"

"What do you mean?" Li Yue asked, confused.

"Now the Demon Race is invading the Saint Na Continent. If I don't do this, even more people will die. Do you know that?"

"Just because of this, causing irreparable harm to ordinary people, is it worth it?"

Li Yue countered.

The Lord gave a bitter smile: "It's worth it. It's better than the Demon Race killing all the races on the Saint Na Continent."

Li Yue, however, asked a question right there.

"If we follow what you just said, haven't you thought of a very important question? What you do will make many people lose confidence in you. What if soldiers resist you during the war, what should you do then?"

The Lord's brows tightened tightly.

Li Yue continued: "Why does everyone unite so wholeheartedly to defend the Saint Na Continent? Isn't it to defend their own homes? And now the home is governed so miserably by the rulers; I ask you, who would still be willing to fight the Demon Race?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Lord seemed to understand something.

He nodded in strong agreement.

So at this moment, the other party still voiced the confusion in his heart.

"But if we don't take tough measures, basically no one will be willing to join in to fight the Demon Race. So what should be done then?"

After hearing this, Li Yue fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"It's very simple: move them with emotion, enlighten them with reason."

These eight short, simple words made the Lord's brows tighten tightly together. He asked: "Lord Chenxi, could you explain a little bit, what exactly does that mean?"

"If you take such a tough attitude, it will only backfire. A person willing to stand up to protect his home and country doesn't need to be forced onto the battlefield; he will pick up weapons and resist on his own. If a person only knows how to drag out a miserable existence, even if you hold a knife to his throat, all he can think about is how to run away."

"So, in this situation, the only thing you need to do is persuade those who are hesitant well, letting them understand one principle: the rise and fall of a nation concerns everyone."

The other party heard this and nodded heavily, as if he finally understood.

But he still had one question...

"Lord Chenxi, I understand your words, but how should the food problem be solved?"

Li Yue said: "This is because your management is improper. Never mind, talking about this now won't make much sense to you. Once others gather, I will naturally arrange the specific matters."

Saying this, Li Yue asked: "By the way, which Great Lord's subordinate are you?"

Among the Lords, there is a distinction of strength. For convenient management, they are divided into zones according to strength.

Lords with high strength naturally manage Lords with low strength. In Li Yue's view, although the Lord before him is not weak, among the many Lords, he can only be assigned under other high-strength Lords.

After all, the highest-level Lords are semi-divine existences. An existence at the Saint Domain level like him can only be said to be very weak.

Therefore, Li Yue was very certain that someone existed above him.

At this moment, the Lord had already confirmed Li Yue's identity. Instantly, with a thud, he dropped to his knees on the ground and spoke repeatedly: "This subordinate belongs to the Death Lord."

"Death Lord?" Li Yue was somewhat surprised, even not expecting to get news about the Death Lord so quickly.

"Then where is the Death Lord located right now?" Li Yue pressed on.

"The Death Lord is currently at another camp about twenty-plus kilometers away from here. Lord Chenxi, do you need me to guide you?"

Li Yue gently shook his head and said: "No need. I will go there myself. Just point me in the right direction."

Hearing Li Yue say this, the other party could no longer insist. He raised his hand and silently pointed in one of the directions.

Li Yue nodded, as if he understood.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Yue suddenly remembered something important.

He stopped his steps and said to the Lord: "I did not kill our soldier. At that time, I only knocked him unconscious. This guy is full of nonsense and completely untrustworthy. Be careful when using him."

After reminding the Lord, Li Yue took his steps and left.
