Chapter 1299: Support

Just as Li Yue was feeling disheartened, Lord Aosaide. Kas continued, "However, Lord Chenxi, you can rest easy. According to the letter, what everyone encountered was only a small portion of the demon race, and their combat strength is nothing to fear."

"And I have already dispatched soldiers to meet them. I believe it won't be long before everyone is seen."

Hearing these words, Li Yue was slightly stunned.

He had not expected Lord Aosaide's movements to be so swift.

It had only been such a short time, yet a whole army had already been sent to provide support.

This efficiency was simply too high.

Thinking of this, Li Yue couldn't help but feel grateful toward Lord Aosaide.

"By the way, Lord Aosaide, where is the place where they are!?" Li Yue asked curiously.

Lord Aosaide said: They are currently in a stretch of mountain forest, about a hundred kilometers from here~. Hearing this, Li Yue nodded, calculating silently in his heart. He planned to head over there first to take a look. If, as Lord Aosaide said, this batch of demons was a very weak force, then he would lead his people to charge in and—wipe them out to the last.

However, Li Yue's thoughts were seen through by Aosaide-Kas.

"Lord Chenxi, I know you want to go provide reinforcements, but you are wounded. Leave this matter to me. The main reason I called you here was to ask you to help me guard my territory. The demon race is already active in the surrounding area, and I worry they will come here as well," Aosaide. Kas said solemnly.

Li Yue began to hesitate, and even the color of his face changed slightly.

But Li Yue himself also knew the seriousness of the situation. What Lord Aosaide. Kas was doing now was indeed the best course of action.

Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me! Li Yue said with a smile.

Then many thanks! Aosaide. Kas nodded.

No need for such courtesy, this is what I should do. Li Yue waved his hand.

Aosaide. Kas immediately said: Then I shall take my leave first. I will head off with my men to provide support right now.

Mm. Li Yue said.

Immediately after, Aosaide. Kas took his subordinates and flew off into the distance, while Li Yue continued to recuperate here, and was also in charge of watching the house.

Time passed bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, Aosaide. Kas had already led his soldiers swiftly approaching the forest.

Before long, he discovered intense fluctuations coming from all directions.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart. These intense fluctuations came from the force steadily approaching them, and the scale and momentum of this force were much greater than his own.

It seems this batch of demons is indeed no small number.

It seems he must be careful!

Aosaide. Kas's gaze gradually grew cold and fierce.

Just at this moment, a burst of urgent hoofbeats rang out, and immediately after, a group of people charged into the forest.

Who goes there? Halt!

Aosaide. Kas's soldiers immediately blocked themselves in front of that group of cavalry, weapons pointed at them, in a stance ready for a fight.

And that group of cavalry, after clearly seeing Aosaide. Kas and the others, all came to a stop. The leader, a knight in a white robe, leapt down from his horse, saluted Aosaide. Kas, and said: Lord Aosaide, it's me. Can't you tell?

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Aosaide. Kas instantly reacted. The expression on his face turned excited, and he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted that knight, and said: Lord Undead, I truly did not expect you to appear here. And what on earth are you in such a panic for?

This knight was none other than Lord Undead, and moreover an extremely formidable lord. The purpose of his coming here this time was naturally to rendezvous.

He had simply not expected a "Cheng Yaojin" to appear halfway, and to be attacked by the demon race.

Seeing Aosaide. Kas's actions, Lord Undead beside him said with a look of disgust.

"Damn, I was following the agreement, bringing my elite troops to rendezvous at your territory. Who could have thought that the moment I arrived here I'd run into a demon race attack—it's really frustrating! I barely broke out of the encirclement, and now those damned demons are still hot on my tail!

Lord Undead's face was full of bitterness as he spoke.

Hearing Lord Undead's complaints, the soldiers beside Lord Aosaide immediately revealed expressions of surprise and said: What? Lord Undead, my lord, is what you say true?

Of course it's true, could I lie to you about something like this? Lord Undead rolled his eyes.

The soldiers' gazes immediately fell upon Lord Aosaide. Kas. "My lord, the demons are in pursuit. Shouldn't we also leave quickly?"…

At this moment, Aosaide. Kas beside them did not speak, but fell silent.

His eyeballs rolled about in their sockets, as if thinking of something.

Suddenly, he raised his head and said to that Lord Undead: Lord Undead, I have a proposal. I wonder if you'd be willing to hear it?

Oh? What proposal?

This place is still some distance from my territory. If we try to flee, I'm afraid the Yishiban Society won't be enough time to reach it at all, and instead the demons will catch up to us. Aosaide. Kas said.

Lord Undead nodded, indicating his agreement.

Aosaide. Kas continued: Since that's the case, why not stay and catch the demons off guard?

Hearing Aosaide. Kas's suggestion, Lord Undead also nodded and said: That is also one way.

Indeed, I also think this method is good. It's just that I don't know whether your subordinates will agree? After all, you've only just broken out of the encirclement, and now you have to face the demons head-on again. That truly puts them in a difficult spot. Aosaide. Kas said.

Heh, don't worry, I will arrange things properly. Lord Undead said, full of confidence.

He looked at the soldiers under his command and bellowed: Brothers, we are now facing an unprecedented predicament. If we cannot break out of the encirclement, then we will die without a burial place!

Now, we face two paths: one is death, the other is life. If we flee, we are certain to die; if we fight, there may still be a sliver of hope.

Do we fight, or do we retreat?

The moment this Lord Undead's words fell, the soldiers behind him all dropped to their knees in unison, saluting Lord Undead in perfect synchronization.

Fight! Fight to the death!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight!

Roars upon roars rang out.

Hearing the roars of his soldiers, this Lord Undead's eyes also reddened. His face turned savage, and he shouted loudly: Good! Since that's the case, then we shall fight!

For the territory, for the people of the territory, for the countless living beings of the Saint Na Continent, we must fight to the death!

Hearing Lord Undead's command, those soldiers scrambled up from the ground one after another, drew their blades and gripped their swords, striking a stance ready to meet the enemy.
