Chapter 1367: Explanation

In no time at all, Princess Feifeng Todd Nelson had already fled back to the city with his remaining soldiers.

Li Yue, seeing this, said nothing either, merely setting off at his own unhurried pace and walking down from the city tower.

Godslayer Lord William Joels, watching this scene from the side, was extremely curious but didn't say any unnecessary words, and hurriedly set off his own pace to follow along.

At this moment, Todd Nelson was panting heavily, breathing nonstop.

Li Yue, seeing this, hurriedly asked with concern: "Princess Feifeng, are you alright? Is it serious?"

Princess Feifeng Todd Nelson, upon hearing these words, gently raised his head, his gaze turning toward where Li Yue stood.

The corner of his mouth also curved into a casual smile at that moment, and he waved his arm casually as he spoke: "It's nothing, it's nothing, you don't need to worry too much."

After hearing these words, Li Yue finally felt a little relieved.

He had only just set his heart at ease when the next moment he was startled into some tension by a single sentence from Todd Nelson~. He only saw Todd Nelson draw in a sharp breath of cold air, clutching his wounded arm, and said with a displeased face: "Damn, I really didn't expect that kid's strength to be so great. If I hadn't been a step ahead, I might really have—met my end there."

"Princess Feifeng, are you really alright?"

"Of course I'm fine, this little injury can't do anything to me. Lord Chenxi, don't worry about me, next it's up to you all. Don't let my blood be spilled in vain!?"

Hearing these words, Li Yue laughed, immediately nodding heavily without any hesitation, giving the other party a clear assurance.

"Just rest assured. This time, I guarantee I'll vent your anger for you."

The conversation between the two made the Godslayer Lord standing beside them feel completely baffled, not understanding at all what the two of them were actually talking about.

At this moment, unable to contain his inner curiosity any longer, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Hey, I say, Lord Chenxi, and Princess Feifeng, what kind of riddle are you two playing at? How come I can't understand a single word you're saying? Explain it to me, what exactly do you mean!?"

Looking at Godslayer Lord William Joels's expression, Li Yue and Todd Nelson exchanged a glance, then immediately laughed without the slightest hesitation.

Todd Nelson said: "Actually, just now I deliberately pretended to fail."

"Pretended to fail!?"

This sentence made the other party even more confused—warfare of all things, and yet one would pretend to fail. Isn't that asking for trouble?

Li Yue began to briefly explain from the side.

"Godslayer Lord, don't panic, listen to me explain slowly. As the saying goes, there is no deception too base for war. After so many engagements with us, the Mozu have also become increasingly cautious, so if we want to deal them a fatal blow, we can only catch them off guard."

"The reason I had Princess Feifeng deliberately fail is also very simple—it's to make the enemy think we've reached the end of our rope. Only this way will they let their guard down. Then, when the next large army attacks, we'll use your research to resurrect those dead lying on the ground. Wouldn't that inflict even greater damage on them?"

Upon hearing these words, the Godslayer Lord immediately felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

He nodded lightly and said: "I understand."

But no sooner had his words fallen than another curious question was raised the next moment.

William Joels asked: "But why didn't you tell me about this? You had me worrying for nothing all this time!"

Li Yue said with a wry smile: "I'm truly sorry. Regarding this matter, I can only say I had no choice. The Demon God has been observing our actions from the other side the whole time. If the soldiers' emotions hadn't appeared to be those of a defeated army, it would have only aroused the enemy's suspicion, so I had no choice but to let you all endure this injustice and remain in the dark for a while."

After hearing Li Yue's explanations, William Joels laughed out loud, raised his hand, and pointed at Li Yue repeatedly as he complained: "Lord Chenxi, oh Lord Chenxi, I really didn't expect that you'd deceive even your own people with this kind of thing. There was even a moment when I suspected you might do something traitorous."

Li Yue smiled once more and said simply: "I'm truly sorry. To deceive the enemy, one can only first deceive one's own. I'm sorry for making you worry."

。

"It's nothing, it's nothing, but…"

While speaking, William Joels seemed to think of something else, so he curiously opened his mouth to ask.

"But… will the Mozu Society fall for it?"

"They will!"

Li Yue showed a very firm gaze without any hesitation.

"Why? How can you be so sure!?"

The Godslayer Lord asked in confusion.

Li Yue said: "The reason is simple—because most of the time, people tend to believe what they see with their own eyes. Moreover, that fellow the Demon God has always wanted me dead. With such a good opportunity now, I believe he won't let it slip by."。0"At most, they'll launch two or three more attacks, and then the moment the great army comes will be our chance."

Li Yue spoke very slowly, every word and every sentence falling clearly into the ears of those beside him.

After hearing these words, the Godslayer Lord was filled with countless emotions inside. Only now did he truly understand why Li Yue, this young man, could serve as commander of the lords' allied forces.

Such insight, such strategic vision—it's basically hard to find anyone who could match him. With him here, this Mozu invasion plot against the Saint Na Continent will definitely be shattered.

Of course, Li Yue had no idea what Godslayer Lord William Joels was thinking inside at this moment.

He only noticed that the other party kept staring at him nonstop at this moment.

Li Yue thought there was something on his face, raised his hand, and subconsciously touched it, but there was nothing there. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Godslayer Lord, is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

William Joels, after hearing Li Yue's words, finally snapped back to his senses.

He hurriedly shook his head: "Oh, no, I was just thinking about some things."

"Oh, I see."

William Joels continued to ask at this moment: "Then Lord Cheng Xi, is there anything you need me to do next? Just say it directly!?"
