Chapter 1268: The Panicked Lords

At this moment, the battle at Jade Dragon Mountain had long since ended.

The Demon Clan and the Lord Alliance had exchanged victories and defeats; it could not be called a victory, nor a defeat, only that they were evenly matched.

But precisely because of this situation, things had gone slightly wrong for the people of the Lord Alliance.

For after the battle, they discovered that their opponent, the Demon God from the Demon Clan side, had returned, yet Li Yue's figure was nowhere to be seen.

This was quite troublesome.

Princess Feifeng, Lord Todd Nelson, stood where Li Yue often stood, gazing into the distance.

He only hoped a familiar figure would appear.

They waited one hour, two hours, three hours.

The sun on the horizon gradually set, and the sky slowly dimmed.

But still, no trace of Li Yue was found.

Todd Nelson frowned and said to his adjutant: Go notify everyone that now... Lord Chenxi has not yet returned.

Hearing the order, the adjutant immediately ran toward the Demon Clan's main camp.

Soon, a commotion spread throughout the entire camp.

Lord Chenxi has not returned. Could it be that Lord Chenxi has already... a lord said with worry.

The other lords began to murmur among themselves.

I don't think so! another lord said: As far as we know, Lord Chenxi is a very powerful expert who has been protecting us throughout the previous war. If he were truly defeated by the Demon Clan, then I think...

He paused his words slightly and began to ponder seriously.

Then he spoke slowly: If Lord Chenxi were truly defeated by the Demon God, I'm afraid the Demon Clan side would have already been eager to spread the news widely.

Indeed! At the entrance, Todd Nelson walked in slowly and said: I believe Lord Chenxi will not die so easily. Moreover, his strength is so great that even if something truly unexpected happened, at the very least he would have left a corpse, wouldn't he?

Hearing his words, everyone also felt it made considerable sense.

After all, Li Yue's strength was truly too formidable, and unlike others, they could not easily judge whether someone was alive or dead.

They could only guess that Li Yue might have encountered some other danger, which was why he had not appeared before their eyes.

"Perhaps Lord Chenxi cannot return now for some other reason, so everyone should stop saying anything about Lord Chenxi being killed by the Demon God. If I hear even a single word or half a sentence again, do not blame me for turning ruthless and recognizing no one."

Todd Nelson threatened in a cold voice.

Hearing Todd Nelson's words, everyone immediately fell silent.

Although they were not afraid of Todd Nelson, they also knew the current situation; if such news spread through the army, it would deal a heavy blow to morale.

I believe Lord Chenxi will not die so easily, but now Lord Chenxi is not here at Jade Dragon Mountain. What should we do next? War God Lord Baldacas asked curiously from the side.

Hearing this question, the others also looked at Todd Nelson.

They were equally curious to know how Todd Nelson would make his decision.

Todd Nelson looked into the distance, his gaze profound, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he finally said: In that case, then we must hold this place to the death now.

Hearing Todd Nelson's answer, everyone was stunned.

They did not expect Todd Nelson to make such a simple judgment, insisting on holding this place to the death.

Todd, are you sure? one lord asked.

Todd Nelson nodded and said: Of course I am sure; I trust my judgment.

Everyone fell silent and said nothing more.

They were not unaware of the reason why Todd Nelson was doing this.

It's just that, given the current situation, holding to the death might not be the best outcome.

Finally, War God Baldacas lifted his gaze and fixed it on Todd Nelson, speaking slowly: Todd, I want to know, do you have any other thoughts in your heart?

Todd Nelson shook his head slightly and said: I have no other thoughts. I also know your thoughts. But given the current situation, if we do not hold to the death, it will be unfavorable to us.

Saying this, he turned his gaze to the others and asked: "Between you and me? Even combined, can we defeat that fellow, the Demon God?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed.

There was a vast difference in strength between them and the Demon God; if they attempted to break out, they would inevitably have to fight the Demon God.

With their strength like this, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be enough to fill the Demon God's teeth.

However, someone asked worriedly: "If, I say if, if Lord Chenxi does not return, then... what should we do?"

The moment these words were spoken, they immediately sparked a round of discussion among everyone.

Everyone's gaze fell squarely on Todd Nelson.

After hearing this, Todd Nelson also fell into silence.

He knew the concerns in everyone's hearts.

But what could he do?

He could not make any decision now; he could only hold Jade Dragon Mountain to the death.

I suggest this. One lord stood up and said: "Let us hold out for a period of time. If, during that period, we still do not see Lord Chenxi's figure or hear any news of him, then we will attempt to break out at that time, shall we?"

"What do you think?"

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the other lords.

This suggestion is actually quite good.
