Chapter 1216: The Great Army Presses Against the Border

No one knew who had said such a thing.

As his voice rang out, everyone present looked at each other, this one glancing at that one, and that one at this one.

In the end, everyone, with a shared understanding, fixed their gaze on Li Yue.

Being stared at by so many people, Li Yue, for a moment, did not know what to say.

He merely muttered to himself, "Why is everyone looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?"

At that moment, the Lord sitting opposite Li Yue said, "Lord Cheng Xi, do you not wish to offer your opinion?"

"Me!? To be honest, facing this current situation, I am also helpless. If it were only a small portion of my forces, we could perhaps use the advantages of speed and small numbers to break through."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply.

"However... with so many people now, my method is simply useless. So, I will listen to everyone's opinions."

Hearing what Li Tian said, everyone sighed along with him.

Their gazes swept across one by one.

Li Yue sensed that the atmosphere in the scene had become slightly oppressive.

A grin appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke without pause, "However, there is not no way to defend the city."

"What do you mean?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and their gazes converged on Li Yue all at once.

Li Yue rose from his seat and said, "The Jade Dragon Mountain where we are located is the highest peak in this surrounding area. Due to the steepness of the mountain walls, the terrain can almost be described as one man holding the pass while ten thousand cannot open it."

"With this advantage, the Demon Clan can only have one way to attack upward. That is for the Demon God to act personally. As long as the Demon God does not destroy our fortifications in an instant, for the Demon Clan to come up is simply talking nonsense."

"If it were before, we would indeed be helpless against the Demon God, but now it is different. As long as I still have the ability to fight, and with the help of other Lords, fighting the Demon God to a standstill is not a difficult matter."

As he spoke these words, Li Yue, at some unknown moment, had already placed a bomb on the table.

"Moreover, we possess our newly developed weapons. In this regard, the odds of victory are quite high."

Listening to Li Yue's explanation, the gloom on everyone's faces vanished.

Instead, one by one, smiles appeared.

"Yes, Lord Cheng Xi is right. Under these circumstances, for the Demon Clan to attack upward is simply a pipe dream. As long as we continue to wait patiently, when the other Lords gathering outside Jade Dragon Mountain arrive, we can launch a combined attack from inside and outside. The Demon Clan is not particularly powerful."

"Moreover, we currently hold a large amount of the Demon Clan's military provisions. If we wish to hold out, half a year or a few months is absolutely no problem at all." Hearing the words spoken by everyone, the Death Lord's gaze shifted slightly.

"It seems everyone has already made the corresponding decision? If so, there is no time to lose; let us begin the action immediately!" Following this, orders were transmitted one after another.

Some began to repair the surrounding defensive positions, while others dispatched messengers to convey the relevant information to the other Lords.

As for Li Yue, what he needed to do was to go all out to prepare for the upcoming war.

Time passed bit by bit, and the second day arrived in the blink of an eye.

The sky had just begun to brighten.

While Li Yue was still resting, he was awakened by a clamor of noise.

Without further ado, he hurriedly came out from his position and looked at the soldiers around him.

He saw the soldiers, one by one, eagerly jogging toward various places.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue was very curious. He casually stopped a soldier and asked for the specific situation. "What is wrong? Has something important happened?"
