Chapter 1384: The Demon Clan's Siege

After hearing their explanation, Li Yue felt relieved.

That's good. If it really is as you say, then it will be manageable.

You've all been busy all day; go rest early.

Yes, this time you have truly worked hard.

"It is no hardship; it is what we should do," said Princess Feifeng, Lord Nelson.

"It is already late. Go back and rest well; I should rest too," Li Yue said.

By saying this, he was also bidding them farewell.

"Lord Chenxi, we shall take our leave first. If there is anything, just instruct those below," they said. After finishing, the two walked out.

After watching them leave, Li Yue slowly sat up from the bed and looked out the window.

At this moment, the moon hung high in the sky.

The starry night sky was exceptionally bright, as if all the stars in the entire firmament had gathered here.

Li Yue gazed at the heavens, his eyes deep.

This time, I will make sure those demons have no return!

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window lattice, falling on Li Yue and making him feel a trace of warmth.

Last night, he had not slept very peacefully.

Because last night, thoughts of the battle with the demons kept surfacing in Li Yue's mind.

It was very late before he finally dozed off.

"Ah, so early in the morning, who has such poor manners to disturb my sleep?" Li Yue said after rubbing his blurry eyes.

Upon hearing Li Yue's words, the door was pushed open, and Lord William Jores, the Demon-Slayer Lord, walked in.

"Lord Chenxi, you are awake."

"Mm, do you have something to find me for?"

"It is like this," the Demon-Slayer Lord said. "The demons made their move early this morning. I came over to inform you of this situation."

After hearing the Demon-Slayer Lord speak thus, Li Yue asked curiously.

Lord William Jores, the Demon-Slayer Lord, glanced at Li Yue, then spoke.

"This morning, the demons set up Layer upon layer of barriers around our defensive line."

"They seem to be planning a surprise attack on Dark City."

Hearing the Demon-Slayer Lord say this, Li Yue's face immediately grew much more grim.

"Is what you say true?" Li Yue said.

"Of course. If we had not prepared in advance, I am afraid we would already be in a bitter battle," William Jores said.

After hearing the Demon-Slayer Lord's words, Li Yue also knew this matter was becoming anything but simple.

"Since the demons have already taken action, I cannot delay any longer. Summon all personnel immediately and prepare to resist!"

Li Yue said.

"Lord Chenxi, do not worry; I have already arranged these matters. Although Lord Chenxi told me not to tell you, to avoid affecting your injuries, I thought that as the highest authority of Dark City, you have the right to know such things, so I told you. If you still insist on taking action, do not blame me for stripping the authority from your hands," the Demon-Slayer Lord Jores replied.

Seeing Lord William Jores, the Demon-Slayer Lord, so serious, and hearing that his tone was not joking.

"Fine, I know what to do. However, if the battle becomes difficult, you must tell me. No matter what, as long as I appear before the demons, there is still a certain deterrent effect."

"Yes, my lord, Lord Chenxi! Rest assured. If there are any other developments, I will tell you immediately. Time is of the essence; I must go out and do my work. You just rest well here."

After finishing, William Jores turned and left, going to attend to his own affairs.

Seeing the Demon-Slayer Lord leave, Li Yue finally let out a long sigh.

"It seems the demons have already taken action. I do not know what the situation will be next."

"However, no matter what, we must now be fully alert."

"Because Li Yue knew very well that the demons would not give up like this; they would definitely have other moves."

"I only hope that Dark City can safely weather this disaster this time."

Dark City, atop the city wall.

The Demon-Slayer Lord's gaze looked far out at the surroundings; in his line of sight, countless demons were approaching Dark City.

"The demons are here, everyone pay attention!"

At the Demon-Slayer Lord's command, ten thousand soldiers, fully armed, immediately stood upon the city wall.

And at this moment, the city wall was also filled with bows and spears, waiting for the demons' attack.

At this moment, the demons were likewise on high alert; countless demon legions stood there, surrounding Dark City so tightly that not even water could leak through.

Inside the demon formation.

A figure jumped down from the horse's back.

His face revealed a ferocious expression; a pair of blood-red pupils stared at the city wall. This person was the Demon God.

"Warriors of the demons, obey my command and launch an attack on Dark City!" the Demon God shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the great Demon God!" As soon as the Demon God's order was issued, a series of deafening roars immediately erupted from the demon ranks.

... 0...

Hearing this sound, the Demon God could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
