Chapter 1252

The two exchanged glances, both displaying reactions of terror.

Li Yue raised a finger and pointed in a direction, saying, "The wind is blowing from this direction. And over there is where the Demon Clan is cutting down trees." Princess Feifeng nodded: "In that case, it is likely so."

"This is bad. If it is truly as we suspect, the consequences will be unbearable! If the smoke sweeps in with this wind, we can at least rely on our own strength to keep it out, but ordinary soldiers, witches, and others cannot?"

"Moreover, if they burn some toxic substances, it will be even more troublesome then," Li Yue said.

At this very moment, the only possible explanation for the Demon Clan's behavior in their minds was that the Demon Clan was preparing to set a fire.

If it were truly so, it would be a very thorny problem for Li Yue and the others.

One must know that there are many trees and shrubs on Yulong Mountain; once the enemy truly sets fire, the flames will surely spread upward along these shrubs and trees.

And these are not even the most important concern; what worries most is that once the fire starts, it will produce a large amount of smoke.

One must know that when a fire occurs, many people do not die from the flames, but rather faint from choking on thick smoke, or even die from suffocation.

At that time, if the soldiers inhale large amounts of smoke and collapse en masse, then the entire Yulong Mountain would be equivalent to a no-man's-land.

Would it not be an easy matter for the Demon Clan to attack upward then?

"You go check the Demon Clan's progress; I will have the soldiers make corresponding preparations."

At this moment, Li Yue spoke to Princess Feifeng.

Hearing his words, Princess Feifeng, Tode Nelson, nodded without any hesitation, then took his steps and left.

Li Yue also wasted no time and walked toward another direction.

At this moment, the soldier originally responsible for serving food stood frozen in place for a moment.

He looked at the departing Lord, then looked at the food in his hand.

There was no choice; to avoid any waste, he simply chose to eat it right there on the spot.

Li Yue's frantic behavior attracted many people's attention.

Among them was naturally Baldarcas.

"Lord Chenxi, what is wrong with you? Why do you look so panicked? Has something happened?"

Li Yue, hearing the other's words, gently shifted his gaze to the War God Lord and nodded heavily.

"Mm, correct. You should know about the Demon Clan's strange actions now, right?"

After hearing these words, Baldarcas gently nodded his head: "Mm, indeed I know, but they are just cutting trees; it should not be a big deal, right?"

"How could it not be a big deal? If the enemy uses those things to burn, the consequences will be unbearable."

"Burning fire?"

Under Li Yue's reminder, the expressions of everyone present changed greatly.

They also thought of the scene Li Yue had described.

Thinking of this, Baldarcas hurriedly asked: "Lord Cheng Xi, is there any good method now?"

"I am here now to figure out a method. Go, call all the soldiers over."

Baldarcas nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will go get people right now."

Saying this, he left in a hurry; after a short while, he returned again.

And after this return, many soldiers were following behind him.

"Lord Cheng Xi, we have all returned; if you have any orders, just say them directly."

Baldarcas said.

Li Yue, looking at the dense crowd, said: "Now, to prevent the Demon Clan's attack, I need you to do two things."

Saying this, he slowly raised his finger and immediately held up the first finger.

"First, the first thing is that you need to prepare a wet cloth with you at all times; no matter when or where, you must carry it on your person or in a place you can easily reach."

"The second thing: I need you to dig several trenches. The trenches do not need to be very deep; being able to squat down is enough. But the soil above must form a certain 160-degree arc shape."

After Li Yue finished speaking, many people present became very curious.

Their gazes looked left and right, finally landing on Li Yue.

Baldarcas could not hold back his inner curiosity and immediately asked.

"Lord Chenxi, I really do not quite understand what you mean; why carry a wet towel and also dig trenches?"

Having spoken up to this point, he further intensified his inner confusion and asked: "Also, why must the trenches be dug with a certain arc?"

Li Yue smiled and began to explain: "The reasons for these two are very simple. First, covering the mouth and nose with a wet towel can prevent large amounts of smoke and dust from entering one's mouth and nose."

"As for why I asked you to dig trenches, it is also to avoid the harm of smoke. If it presents a certain arc, the smoke can follow the arc and dissipate downward toward the rear position."

At this time, Li Yue very patiently explained all the relevant matters.

Hearing these words spoken by Li Yue, everyone present nodded, understanding at last.

Seeing that everyone present had understood his hard intentions, he raised his hand and waved: "In that case, everyone, go start working!"
