Chapter 1391

Because the area surrounding Dark City is already enveloped by the massive magical barrier around Dark City, there is simply nowhere to burn anything! Moreover, given the current situation, using oil seems to be of little use at all!

Are you sure you want to bring the oil? Lord Kill God Joel asked.

Of course I'm sure! Hearing Lord Kill God Joel's question, Li Yue nodded.

Hearing Li Yue's affirmative answer, Lord Kill God Joel nodded, then immediately said: Very well, I will make arrangements at once!

Mm, go ahead!

After speaking, Li Yue directly turned his gaze toward the battlefield in the distance.

I wonder how long those soldiers will be able to hold out?

I hope everyone will not disappoint me!

Watching the demon soldiers frantically attacking the magic array on the outer edge of the magical barrier, Li Yue's eyes were filled with worry.

Sigh! The current situation is truly too critical. Although the soldiers are already prepared for battle, the number of demon soldiers is far too great—two hundred and seven. Even if they all sacrifice themselves here, I estimate we still cannot defeat the demon army! Li Yue sighed, thinking silently in his heart.

Just then, Lord Kill God Joel had already returned.

Lord Chenxi, as per your request, the soldiers have been ordered to prepare the oil, Lord Kill God Joel asked respectfully. Upon hearing this, Li Yue said: "Roughly how long will it take to collect?" At least two hours, Lord Kill God Joel replied.

Hearing Lord Kill God Joel's words, Li Yue nodded, then said: Within two hours, that should be enough.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Kill God William Joel immediately showed a puzzled expression. "With the demons already at the city gates, is two hours really enough?" Li Yue's lips curled upward, revealing a confident smile.

If I say it's enough, then it's enough! Here, find me a few people to bring a chair; I have great use for it.

Li Yue gave the order.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Kill God Joel, though full of doubts,

"What use is a chair?"

"In any case, you will know soon enough; now just go and do as I said."

"Very well. I will make arrangements at once."

He nodded, then quickly departed.

Before long, he returned leading a group of guards carrying a chair, which they placed before Li Yue.

Lord Chenxi, please use it, Lord Kill God Joel said.

Mm, place it here, Li Yue nodded, then sat down.

Seeing Li Yue sit down, Lord Kill God William Joel immediately froze.

This, this is it?

Lord Kill God Joel's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.

After watching Li Yue sit, he observed Li Yue more closely, found that Li Yue made no special move, and immediately felt utterly baffled.

Why are you still standing there like a fool? Hurry and have your men carry me out, and at the same time notify everyone to cease all attacks now," Li Yue said, looking at William Joel.

What? Cease the attacks? Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Kill God Joel's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He had never seen anything so outrageous.

Just now Li Yue had ordered him to send people to move things, and now Li Yue actually says to cease the attacks?

It is simply too incredible!

Lord Chenxi, did I hear you correctly? Are you serious? Lord Kill God Joel asked.

Mm. Seeing Lord Kill God William Joel's expression, Li Yue said with a smile.

Seeing Li Yue's smiling face, Lord Kill God William Joel became even more bewildered, completely unable to grasp the situation.

"No, no, absolutely not! Ceasing the attacks is already outrageous enough, and having people carry you out—that is inviting death! Or perhaps Lord Chenxi, are you thinking of trading your own life for the lives of the entire city?" Lord Kill God Joel shook his head and said.

You are overthinking it. Hearing Lord Kill God Joel's words, Li Yue shook his head and said: I simply want them to retreat. This is only part of my plan. What?

Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Kill God Joel was shocked again, frozen in place, looking at Li Yue with a face full of disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? Lord Chenxi, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Never mind, I am too lazy to explain to you. In short, one sentence: if you wish to buy time, let me go out, and cease all attacks on the demons."

"I... I... you... you..." Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Kill God Joel was completely bewildered, utterly at a loss for what to say.

Seeing Lord Kill God William Joel's dazed expression, Li Yue laughed.

I knew you had many things you did not understand; it is fine, take your time to think it over. However, time waits for no one; if you do not let me go out, I will walk out myself."

As he spoke, Li Yue prepared to rise from the chair.

Seeing this, what more could Lord Kill God say?

"Very well, very well, I will follow your arrangements."

Then now, please trouble you to send people to take me out, Li Yue said.

William Joel, upon hearing this, immediately waved his sleeve.

Several guards nearby immediately stepped forward, carrying Li Yue toward the city gates.

Watching Li Yue depart, Lord Kill God William Joel could not help but sigh.

How exactly should this matter be handled?

At this moment, he also began ordering everyone to cease their attacks.

Before leaving, Li Yue did not forget to instruct the several guards beside him, saying to them: "Remember, whatever I say or do later, your task is to look forward with a blank expression. If you dare make even the slightest additional movement, you will be punished according to military law. Do you understand?"

Li Yue's words were filled with seriousness and earnestness.

Hearing Li Yue's words, those several guards immediately said: We understand, Lord Chenxi, please give your orders freely!

Very good! Li Yue nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, Li Yue's gaze fell upon the demon army not far away.

At this very moment, the demons also subtly noticed Li Yue's actions, instinctively ceased their assault, and their gazes all converged upon him.

The several guards carefully carried Li Yue, seated on the chair, toward the demon army.

And just as they walked toward the demon army, the Demon God immediately sensed something was wrong.
