Chapter 1204: Pretending Not to Know

After hearing the words Li Yue spoke, the Death Lord gently nodded his head.

He said, "Mm, contact has already been made; they should be on their way now."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue nodded in satisfaction.

He said no more nonsense and led his people back to the military camp.

After the demon soldiers sent to gather intelligence left the lord's camp, they hurriedly reported the information they had gathered to the Demon God.

The message was passed through layer upon layer until it finally reached the Demon God's ears.

At that moment, a demon soldier knelt before the Demon God.

The soldier opened his mouth and spoke repeatedly, "My lord Demon God, we have obtained the relevant intelligence. It is said that these reckless fellows have chosen Yulong Mountain as their target."

Hearing this, the Demon God remained silent for a Yishiban Society, propping his chin as he thought carefully.

"Yulong Mountain? Do we have troops stationed there?"

Upon hearing this, the demon soldier nodded repeatedly, "Not only do we, but it is also where our troops store their military rations."

Hearing the soldier's words, the Demon God immediately let out an "Oh" and slapped his thigh hard.

"So that is how it is. I must say, their operation this time is quite sophisticated. If we had not received advance notice, it would indeed be troublesome."

As the Demon God spoke, the more he spoke, the more the corners of his mouth curled upward.

Clearly, at this very moment, he felt a sense of victory already in hand.

A soldier standing nearby curiously asked, "Since that is the case, my lord Demon God, what should we do next? Should we set an ambush directly at Yulong Mountain?" The Demon God gently shook his head and directly spoke a single word: "No."

"No!?"

The demon soldier kneeling on the ground could hardly believe what he had heard and hurriedly asked, "My lord Demon God, did I just hear something wrong? With such a good opportunity, why do we say no?"

The Demon God chuckled lightly, "This shows your experience is insufficient. Imagine, if they launch a surprise attack on Yulong Mountain and are ambushed, they will quickly suspect something is wrong within their ranks. Once they investigate thoroughly, it will be easy to find the spy we planted."

Having said this, the Demon God's words paused briefly, his gaze falling on the demon soldier beside him.

"If that truly happens, then what should we do in this situation regarding the next critical battle?" "Then, according to your meaning, my lord Demon God...?"

"It is very simple. Since they want to attack Yulong Mountain, we shall give them a Yulong Mountain." The Demon God spoke slowly and calmly.

Upon hearing these words, the demon soldier was slightly stunned.

He then asked, "Then what should be done with the military rations in the camp? Are we to let those damn fellows destroy them?" The Demon God snorted coldly, "You have followed me for so long; do you really need me to remind you of such a small trick?" Hearing the Demon God's words, the demon soldier was slightly stunned.

At this moment, his eyes rolled constantly within their sockets as he struggled to think over what the Demon God had just said.

At this moment, he spoke in a low voice, "Could it be that my lord Demon God means to transport these military rations out, leaving only a small portion as a decoy?" Upon hearing this, the corners of the Demon God's mouth curled upward slightly. "It seems you are not too stupid after all!"

The Demon God continued, "I believe their main purpose in attacking Yulong Mountain is to seize our troops' rations. In this situation, it might cause chaos within our ranks, allowing us to pursue them to victory."

"They want such a result, so I will give them such a result. Then, when they are overjoyed, they will discover they have already fallen into the trap I designed."

As the Demon God spoke, the corners of his mouth were already raised high, and a trace of smug expression appeared on his face.

In his view, the deployment for this battle had no problems whatsoever. "My lord Demon God is heroic!"

"Now that you know, why do you not hurry and get to work!?" The Demon God's voice rang out again.

Hearing this, the demon soldier indicated he understood.

At Yulong Mountain, a demon troop was beginning to transport their grain to other locations bit by bit, following the Demon God's orders.

What was left behind consisted almost entirely of wood, straw, and other miscellaneous items used as fillers.

Although their actions were relatively concealed, at this moment, several pairs of eyes were staring fixedly at this group of demons from the bushes on both sides of the road. A soldier whispered, "According to Lord Chenxi's orders, we must know where these fellows are transporting their rations, so we must track them closely without letting them detect our presence. I will be responsible for reporting the relevant matters to the lord." Upon hearing this, his companion nodded repeatedly, indicating he understood.

Then, they began to hide their figures and silently followed the demons.

Only when they reached another demon camp did they hurriedly withdraw and report the relevant intelligence to Li Yue.

When Li Yue heard this news, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a calm smile.
