Chapter 1235: Helping to Release

But as soon as the witch spoke those words, the scene instantly fell into silence.

Li Yue opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but the sound reached his throat and hesitated, failing to emerge.

He wanted to ask if there was any chance, or perhaps some other method?

Li Yue also knew that even if he asked, it would almost certainly be of no use.

Thus, he could only hesitate with words unspoken, his gaze turning toward the female lord.

"Um... do not lose heart; I will definitely find a way to save you!"

At this moment, the female lord's lips curled slightly upward, and she immediately let out a bitter smile.

She gently shook her head, looked at Li Yue, and said seriously, "Lord Chenxi, you need not worry too much. Do I not know my own condition? Now, there is almost no way to save me."

Having said this, she sighed deeply, as if her entire body suddenly relaxed.

Li Yue watched her, his heart aching; the person was right before his eyes, yet he could do nothing.

This sense of powerlessness felt like ten thousand heavy burdens pressing on his shoulders, making it difficult even for Li Yue to lift his body.

"Lord Chenxi, cough, cough, cough... c-can you help me with a favor?"

Upon hearing these words, Li Yue hurriedly rushed forward and said to her, "If you have something to say, just say it directly; I am right before you."

"Help me find release, will you!?"

The female lord opened her mouth and spoke word by word, seriously.

Upon hearing these words, Li Yue immediately froze in place.

Even his entire body stiffened in that instant, and his eyes widened slightly at that moment.

Without needing to ask further, Li Yue fully understood what her words meant.

Swallowing deeply, Li Yue mustered his courage and said, "I... to have me kill you, such a thing, I truly cannot do!"

The female lord raised her only hand and gently placed her palm on Li Yue's arm.

At the moment of contact, Li Yue finally reacted, lifted his head, and looked at the female lord.

The female lord forced out a smile with difficulty: "In my current situation, living is also suffering; death is the best release for me. Lord Chenxi, this is my last hope; I hope you can agree, will you?"

"But... I... I... to have me kill my own comrade, such a thing, I..."

Li Yue's voice began to tremble as he spoke, growing quieter and quieter.

"Agree to me, help me with this favor, will you?"

The female lord spoke again.

Li Yue looked at her face, feeling the warmth transmitted from her fingertips, as if he felt it himself.

At this moment, he gently placed his own hand on the female lord's palm and finally nodded his head heavily.

Seeing Li Yue's action, the female lord's face immediately showed a gratified smile.

Her eyes also silently closed at this moment.

At this moment, she was already prepared for the outcome of waiting for death at any time.

Li Yue took a heavy breath and said to the witch standing nearby, "You go out first."

"Yes, my lord."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the witch hesitated not at all, stepped forward, and walked out cautiously.

When leaving, the witch did not forget to lock the door.

At this moment, only Li Yue and the female lord remained in the entire room.

Li Yue casually grabbed and pulled out a dagger.

When about to act, his hand paused slightly, and his gaze turned toward the female lord.

"You, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Li Yue asked, hoping to fulfill her last wish.

The female lord thought for a while as if considering something, then said seriously, "If possible, you must bring victory for us!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Yue nodded heavily and said seriously, "It will definitely happen. Then... may you have a safe journey."

Hearing this, the female lord nodded lightly and, at this moment, did not forget to say, "Thank you, Lord Chenxi."

As the words fell, Li Yue hesitated not at all; the dagger instantly pierced into the female lord's neck.

To cause the female lord less suffering, in this situation, he directly adopted a one-strike fatal method...

In less than a few breaths, the female lord's entire body immediately lost all sound and breath.

Clearly, she was already dead, yet Li Yue's hands were at this moment stained with countless drops of blood.

Looking at the blood on his hands, his hands trembled involuntarily.

He originally thought these hands would be used against enemies, but he never expected such a day, when they would be used to kill his own comrade.

Li Yue knew he could not show any discouragement.

As his breathing gradually became steady, his emotions returned to their original state.

Li Yue, expressionless, stepped out of the room.

At this time, outside the door, the witch was still standing at the entrance waiting.

But upon seeing Li Yue come out, she also knew what the general situation inside must be.

At this moment, she dared not say much, only lowering her head and preparing to await Li Yue's orders at any time.

Li Yue glanced at the witch beside him and said indifferently, "Inside... I'll trouble you to clean up; find a good place to bury her!" Upon hearing these words, the witch nodded heavily. "Yes, my lord."

Saying this, she respectfully stepped back; only after Li Yue left did she enter the room.

She carefully arranged the female lord's body, then summoned other soldiers to find a relatively good position 3.7 and buried this lord properly.

Li Yue arrived at the defensive position; regarding the recent event, many people had heard the commotion, so they also knew the result.

At this moment, no one dared to mention anything about that female lord.

After Li Yue glanced around at the surrounding soldiers and read the expressions on their faces, he said, "What is the situation with the Demon Clan now?" At that moment, a soldier stepped forward and hurriedly responded to Li Yue's words.

"Reporting to my lord, the Demon Clan is currently beginning to assemble their forces; it appears they are preparing for war." "Then how is the repair of our defensive works progressing?"

"They are currently under repair. It will still take some time to finish, but they should be completed before the Demon Clan's attack."
