Chapter 1206: Imminent Explosion

After hearing Li Yue's words, the Death Lord nodded.

"I see, I understand." As he spoke, the Death Lord seemed to recall something, his gaze turned to Li Yue, and he asked curiously, "By the way, Lord Chenxi, what about you? Do you want to join in!?"

Li Yue gently shook his head and said seriously, "Me? I won't need to. I have more important matters to attend to. After all, as you said, if so much demon grain and fodder were just burned down by us in one fire, that would be such a pity."

When Li Yue had spoken halfway through his sentence, the Death Lord had already understood what the man before him intended to do.

He didn't know what else to say; after hesitating for a long while, in the end, he simply said silently, "Be careful on the road."

Hearing the Death Lord tell him to be careful, Li Yue immediately felt it was quite a joke.

Li Yue responded seriously, "Now, according to my strength, the one who should be careful is not me alone, but those demon fellows."

Following this, the Death Lord and Li Yue split into two groups according to the corresponding plan and began their operations.

The Death Lord led the main force of troops toward the location of Jade Dragon Mountain.

As for Li Yue, he led his own troops, sneaking stealthily toward another place.

However, because the whereabouts of Li Yue and his group were extremely concealed, plus they operated by hiding during the day and moving at night.

Therefore, almost only a few personnel knew the specific destination; everyone else was completely unaware of where they were supposed to go.

After the Death Lord led the troops marching for about a full day at full speed, they finally arrived at Jade Dragon Mountain.

At this moment, the demon soldiers stationed at Jade Dragon Mountain were utterly stunned upon seeing this scene.

They had just woken up from their beds early in the morning, and the moment they opened their eyes, enemies were everywhere across the mountains and fields.

This result directly frightened the demon soldiers into becoming somewhat at a loss.

They wanted to contact other demons, but almost all roads were blocked.

Under such circumstances, the demon generals and demon soldiers stationed above had no choice but to make a decision.

That was to fight to the death.

The Death Lord was arranging personnel to begin the attack, but unexpectedly, his words had only just reached halfway.

A soldier hurriedly and flusteredly ran over to the Death Lord.

"My lord, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!"

Seeing the soldier's flustered appearance, the Death Lord's mood became somewhat displeased.

He said coldly, "Even if the Demon God himself came, there is no need for you to be this panicked. What kind of order is this?"

"This subordinate knows he is wrong, but the situation is urgent."

Upon hearing this, the Death Lord's original slight intention to reprimand immediately dissipated considerably.

He waved his hand and said, "What is it? Why is it so urgent!?"

"The demons on Jade Dragon Mountain are now gathering on a large scale, showing signs of preparing to break the encirclement."

The soldier said.

After hearing these words, the Death Lord couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"I thought the Demon God had come, but it turns out it's just this kind of trivial matter."

Perhaps in the Death Lord's eyes, the behavior of these demon soldiers was indeed trivial, but for the other soldiers, the pressure doubled.

At this moment, a lord began to propose, "Death Lord, I also know your impulse to quickly kill all these damn fellows. But is it appropriate to push them this hard?"

The Death Lord retorted, "What is inappropriate about this?"

"When people are pushed to the brink, they will fight like trapped beasts; the demons are the same. Now that we have blocked all the demons' hopes of escape, with no hope left, aren't these demon soldiers preparing to fight to the death?"

Having said this, he added a slight reminder, "You must know that our numbers are already low; if we continue with this tactical approach, there will inevitably be some losses."

The Death Lord first gently shook his head.

"No, if we give these fellows an opening, who knows how many will escape? If they manage to gather with other demons later, it will be troublesome."

As he spoke these words, the Death Lord smiled.

A smile that was difficult to detect appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He said, "Of course, the reason I dare to do this is that I have a corresponding method. By the way, Lord Chenxi gave us a new type of weapon, right? Now is the most suitable time to use it."

The Death Lord turned his gaze to a soldier standing nearby and asked, "Are the catapults ready?"

"According to your requirements, Death Lord, the catapults are now almost all deployed around the area, aiming at Jade Dragon Mountain from all directions without any blind spots."

Upon hearing this news, the Death Lord nodded very satisfied.

"Since that is the case, there is no time to lose. Let the soldiers do as I say: launch an attack first, and then the ground troops will sweep away everything on Jade Dragon Mountain."

"Understood!"

Hearing the Death Lord's words, the soldier quickly left his position and began to convey the order to launch the attack.

At this moment, the Death Lord shifted his gaze to the other lords standing beside him.

Smiling, he said, "Everyone, don't just stand here stunned; let's go and see the victory that belongs to us." As he spoke, the Death Lord took his steps and walked out first.

After the other lords exchanged glances, they did not overthink any other messy matters.

They followed closely behind.

The group arrived at a small hillside.

From here, one could almost see the general situation of Jade Dragon Mountain.

At this moment, countless catapults had completed their final preparations.

With the transmission of a series of commands, the huge catapults began to play their role.

But this time, what was placed inside the catapults was not huge stones, but small bundles of ignited explosives.

After the explosives were ignited, they utilized the catapults to land precisely on the heads of the demon soldiers.

When a few soldiers were hit by the explosives, they almost suffered no serious injuries.

Immediately, they burst into loud laughter.

"What the hell? I thought these fellows would throw something over, but just this tiny little thing, they still want to..." Before the words were even finished, the fuse of the explosive burned out, followed by a tremendous boom that swept through the surroundings.
