Chapter 1245: Setting Fire

Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, simply concealed the two corpses.

After doing all this, his gaze finally fell upon the room.

Upon seeing the scene in this room, he drew a slight breath.

In his line of sight, there were bundles upon bundles of grain.

There was so much grain that it almost filled the entire room.

Moreover, there were more than a dozen rooms like this, showing that the demon race's grain reserves were indeed substantial.

However, now was not the time to think about such chaotic matters.

Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, took out a jar of fire oil from his person and poured it directly onto the grain.

Then, he ignited the source of fire and casually tossed it, landing it right on the fire oil.

The fire oil instantly burst into flames, and then began to scorch everything around it.

At this moment, the fire was still relatively small, so Princess Feifeng thought about leaving quickly to avoid being spotted by demon race members coming to extinguish the fire.

If he wanted to escape then, it would be troublesome.

Thinking this, he started to move his feet to leave; before departing, his gaze unconsciously turned toward the grain storage room.

With this look, he happened to see wine jars placed in the corner.

In that instant, Todd Nelson seemed to think of something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He stopped his steps, turned toward the wine jars, and casually took a thin string from the side to make a simple device.

At this time, thick smoke generated by the burning fire began to rise outward; Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, also knew that under such circumstances, he had to leave quickly.

After completing the final step, he hurriedly stepped out the door.

To better conceal his actions, he pretended to be a demon race soldier who had just discovered an anomaly and rushed over to investigate.

Obviously, his actions did not arouse much suspicion from the other demons; instead, he asked aloud, "Hey!? What is going on? The granary is starting to emit black smoke?"

Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, gently shook his head and said seriously, "I am not quite clear on this either; I just arrived here. By the way, where are the other guards? Here, you go check the situation inside, and I will go see where the guards have gone!?"

"Alright, go quickly. War is currently happening on the front lines; there cannot be any carelessness here. If Lord Demon God finds out, we will be in serious trouble."

The other party had no further suspicion, nodded, and directly gave tacit approval to Todd Nelson's departure.

In the instant Todd Nelson turned to leave, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile that was difficult for others to notice.

Obviously, he felt happy that his plan could succeed.

At this time, several demon race soldiers rushed straight in to take a look.

In the instant they saw the Xiong Xiong flames, their expressions instantly underwent a earth-shaking change.

"Save... save the fire, hurry and save the fire!!!"

"The granary is on fire!!"

Accompanied by shouts, several demon race soldiers hurriedly moved their steps toward the location where the fire was burning.

They wanted to separate the burning area from the other areas that had not yet caught fire.

However, unexpectedly, in that very instant, it seemed their feet touched something.

Their expressions changed; they instinctively looked down at the ground. Under their feet lay a thin string that was not easy to notice.

Before they could react to what was happening, one demon race soldier moved slightly.

As a result, a series of effects were immediately triggered.

The rope pulled the wine jar, which crashed heavily to the ground with a clatter.

And the spot where it fell happened to be exactly where the fire had burned through.

In the instant the alcohol contacted the flames, a violent combustion reaction suddenly occurred.

In just an instant, the entire room was filled with towering flames, which instantly engulfed the several demon race soldiers.

"Aaaaaaaah~"

The scorching from the flames forced them to emit cries of pain.

Their bodies ached as they rolled everywhere on the ground, hoping to extinguish the flames on themselves, but such actions had almost no effect.

Because the surroundings were a sea of fire, even if they extinguished the flames on one part of their bodies, within a short time, they would burn again.

At the same time, the other granaries also began to rise with flames at the same time.

Todd Nelson soon made contact with his subordinates.

"Is everything done?" Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, asked the subordinate beside him.

"Reporting to My Lord, the fire has been set. As per your request, fire oil has also been sprinkled on their grain; basically, it will be very difficult to save it."

After hearing these words, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Todd Nelson's face, and he nodded gently.

"Since the plan has been successfully completed, there is no time to lose; let us withdraw quickly."

"Understood!"

Then, a group of people moved quickly through the crowd of demons.

At this very moment, because the granary was on fire, many demon race soldiers were thrown into chaos.

For the actions of Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, and others walking in the opposite direction, no one paid any attention.

Within a short time, under Todd Nelson's leadership, the group left the location of the main demon force.

The moment everyone walked out, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It could be said that the success of this plan was entirely due to luck.

If any slight oversight had occurred during this process, I fear we would all be doomed forever.

Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, raised his head and cast his gaze toward the distance.

Looking at the thick black smoke, the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he smiled; then he turned his gaze toward the distant battlefield.

At this moment, he spoke to the person beside him: "Hurry and go; do not delay here for any reason. Lord Chenxi and others, upon seeing the thick smoke, should withdraw immediately. If we withdraw late and get surrounded by demons, it will be troublesome."

"Yes!"

Thus, the group, without the slightest hesitation, hurriedly headed toward the camp on the mountain.

The result was almost exactly as Princess Feifeng's monarch, Todd Nelson, had thought.

At this very moment, Li Yue, engaged in battle with the Demon God, sensed thick, rolling smoke rising from the rear of the Demon Clan and immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself: Truly unexpected that Princess Feifeng's monarch acted so quickly; she has already succeeded.

Thinking this, a look of joy naturally appeared on his face.

His steps moved, retreating backward, and at the same time he shouted loudly to the others: "Everyone else, prepare to evacuate quickly!"
