Chapter 1355: The Demon God's Doubt

The Demon God paid little attention to the soldiers' salute, merely raising his hand and waving it lightly before saying casually, "Everyone, rise." "Yes!"

Having received the order, the soldiers dared not delay even a moment and quickly stood up.

The Demon God walked inside, accompanied by the Demon General who had just spoken.

As for the others, they remained where they were.

The Demon God approached the corpse, scrutinizing it up and down two or three times, yet still could not discern what was wrong with the fellow lying before him.

In short, what lay before him was nothing more than an utterly ordinary corpse.

The Demon God propped his chin, his face showing signs of difficulty.

He thought this must be Li Yue's doing.

Yet at present, he still could not figure out what exactly Li Yue intended to do.

Just as he pondered in confusion, the Demon God seemed to notice the presence of something.

He raised his hand and gently touched the corpse. "What is this!?"

Where his fingers made contact lay a clump of sticky, greenish, unidentified liquid.

The Demon General standing nearby gently shook his head and explained, "My lord, we have never encountered this substance before. We only suspect it is some kind of unidentified liquid mixed from certain herbs. As for its main components, they have not yet been analyzed, and we do not know whether it is dangerous."

"We even fed some samples to dogs, and there was basically no reaction at all." Hearing his subordinate's report, the Demon God nodded, indicating he understood.

Nevertheless, he remained very concerned about this substance.

He said, "Very well, summon the military physician first to examine what is special about this corpse, and also investigate this viscous substance thoroughly. I have a feeling I am overlooking something important."

"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it immediately."

The Demon God did not reply to the other's words, merely nodding lightly.

Having received the Demon God's tacit approval, the Demon General walked out.

For a moment, only the Demon God and the corpse remained inside the tent.

And now the Demon God had no intention whatsoever of leaving.

The surrounding soldiers, watching the Demon God's demeanor, filled their eyes with countless curiosities.

Immediately, hushed whispers arose among those below: "Hey, what is the Demon God doing? Why hasn't he come out yet?" "Who knows? But judging by the current situation, he must be thinking about something important. We'd better not disturb him."

"You're right. During these recent battles against that fellow named Li Yue, the Demon God has been in an extremely frustrated state. Under such circumstances, we'd better not bring trouble upon ourselves." The voices of the few men rose quickly and fell just as quickly.

Before long, everything had become completely quiet.

The Demon God remained in place, pondering something important.

Li Yue must have his own purpose in acting this way, but what exactly is that purpose?

Since the problem does not lie with the corpse, could it be with the location?

At this thought, the Demon God immediately widened his eyes, as if he had truly realized a possible scenario. Without further ado, he shouted directly to those nearby, "Issue an order!" The moment his voice fell, a soldier immediately knelt on the ground! "What are your orders, my lord?" "Summon all archers to assemble here." "Yes!"

As soon as the Demon God's words fell, countless archers from the Demon clan gathered before him.

At that moment, they all shared one question: Why had the Demon God summoned them?

Could it be that he was preparing to begin the siege?

But judging by the current situation, that did not seem likely!

If they were to besiege the city, the other Demon soldiers should also have begun taking action.

Yet now only they were present, leaving them feeling as confused as a monk trying to measure two zhang with his hands.

The Demon God, looking at the assembled Demon archers, raised his hand and pointed toward the direction of the City of Dark Shadows. "Obey my command: now, everyone, aim at the location ahead and unleash a volley of arrows." The moment the Demon God's words began to ring out, someone immediately spoke up beside him. "Great Demon God, please allow me to say a word." "Speak!" The speaking soldier began to explain.

"The City of Dark Shadows possesses a protective magical array guarding the city. Our attacks would basically be in vain. If we wish to inflict damage upon them, we must first destroy their magical array."

Upon hearing these words, the Demon God immediately curled the corners of his mouth slightly upward and smiled calmly.

He now understood what this soldier was worried about.
