Chapter 1357: A Day of Peace

In the Demon God's estimation, a scene of "corpses" struggling should have appeared by now.

And those corpses were precisely the ones Li Yue had sent people to impersonate.

But now, nothing had happened, which forced him to begin suspecting that he had made a mistake in his thinking somewhere.

The Demon God looked at the scene before him, and at this very moment, everyone else was also watching this scene on the spot.

Seeing that nothing had happened, almost at the same time, the gazes of everyone converged upon the Demon God.

At this moment, a Demon soldier spoke up in a low voice to ask, "My Lord Demon God, should we continue shooting arrows?"

"No need." The Demon God raised his hand and gently waved it twice, signaling to the others around that there was no need to continue any futile efforts.

After receiving the Demon God's reply, almost at the same time, everyone ceased their actions.

Strange, strange, truly strange, why is everything completely different from what I thought?

By all rights, since Li Yue presented such a situation, he must have his own purpose; if it is not due to the corpses, nor the location, then what other reason could there be?

The Demon God propped his chin, thinking with deep reflection.

But after thinking for a long time, countless questions floated up and down in his mind, yet not a single bit of useful information appeared.

For him, this was simply as frustrating as choking on a tooth while drinking water.

At this moment, the Demon General beside him also saw the anger and dissatisfaction in the Demon God's eyes.

He immediately stepped forward and spoke to the Demon God, "My Lord Demon God, this subordinate is willing to serve as the Vanguard Commander to investigate for you!"

Upon hearing the voice, the Demon God subconsciously turned his gaze to the person speaking, immediately shook his head gently, and said, "Do not rush; the time is not yet right."

As he spoke, the Demon God thought for a moment, then added another sentence: "Now, according to my order, everyone must not attack; surround the enemy and do not let even a single fly get in. Do you understand?"

As his words fell, the surrounding Demon soldiers immediately nodded one after another, indicating they understood.

At this moment, Li Yue, Lord Chenxi, and the War God Lord were standing on the battlements of the Dark City; the scene just now had been completely captured in their eyes.

Lord Chenxi, Todd Nelson, asked with great curiosity.

"Strange, what is the Demon Clan doing? They shot one volley of arrows and then stopped attacking? Could it be that they have some greater conspiracy?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yue beside him could hardly hold back anymore; with a chuckle, he burst out laughing right there on the spot.

Facing his laughter, Todd Nelson was almost completely bewildered.

Even the War God Lord, William Jors, who was standing nearby, became confused.

William Jors then subconsciously began to ask.

"Lord Chenxi, why are you laughing? Could it be that there is something funny!?"

"No, no, no, do not misunderstand; I just want to say that you are really overthinking it."

"Overthinking it?" The two of them spoke in unison, and their gazes also converged upon Li Yue at this very moment.

Obviously, they had endless curiosity regarding what he said.

Thus, one of them subconsciously asked, "Lord Chenxi, what do you mean by that?"

"It is very simple; the Demon Clan's attack does not have an absolutely meticulous plan. In my view, this is merely a probe."

Upon hearing this, Todd Nelson looked at William Jors beside him.

William Jors raised his head and shook it gently.

Obviously, he also did not understand the words Li Yue had spoken.

"Please, Lord Chenxi, explain clearly; what exactly does this mean?"

Seeing this, Li Yue no longer kept any secrets and explained directly.

"That volley of attack just now, to be honest, was simply a situation the Demon God made out of utter confusion. In my view, in his estimation, he thought there might be some ambush among the corpses on the ground, such as people impersonating corpses? So he ordered an arrow volley, and in this way, he could know if his thoughts were correct."

Li Yue, having spoken up to this point, immediately had the corners of his mouth rise slightly, smiling very happily.

He continued speaking: "Obviously, no matter how you look at it, the Demon God absolutely would not have thought that this area indeed had an ambush, but not in the way he imagined."

Upon hearing these words, the other two immediately began to laugh as well.

However, very quickly, Todd Nelson began to ask with some worry.

"However, the Demon Clan should not give up so easily, right? What if they discover our plan next? If they use fire-tipped arrows next time, what should we do then?"

Li Yue, however, gently shook his head.

"This, you need not worry too much about. In my view, the Demon Clan will not take any other action for a Yishiban Society; if they were really going to use it, they would have started acting long ago. And now, nothing has happened, which indicates that the opponent is currently in a very cautious state. In my view, what they do next will still be in a state of observation, at least for a period of time."

"Let us hope so!"

After his words fell, Todd Jors sighed deeply, and his eyes were entirely filled with a state of exhaustion.

And what happened next indeed matched Li Yue's speculation quite well; basically, throughout the following day, the Demon Clan and the remaining Lord Alliance stared at each other, neither side launching an attack, neither side making excessive moves.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it reached midnight.

At this moment, the Demon God sat within his tent camp, his gaze fixed on the map by his hand.

Frowning as he looked at the map in his line of sight, the whole person was constantly thinking about what exactly would happen next.

And sitting at both ends beside him were the Demon Clan's senior generals.

It had been a long time since anyone spoke; everyone exchanged glances with one another, and in their eyes, there was entirely curiosity and confusion.

Finally, at this moment, the Demon God hurriedly began to ask, "What is the situation with that pile of corpses in front of the Dark City?"

As his words fell, at this time, a Demon General beside him finally reacted, hurriedly kneeling on the ground, and repeatedly speaking seriously, "Reporting to My Lord Demon God, nothing has happened yet; everything is the same as during the day."
