Chapter 1406: The Demon God's Change of Mood

Exactly. Just now I let you be arrogant; this time, I will let you thoroughly savor the taste of life worse than death, and make you know what it means that the might of Heaven is not to be offended!

Those soldiers vented their anger one after another.

And those living dead, after suffering endless attacks, were finally utterly routed.

Soon, countless living dead fell at the feet of these demon soldiers.

At this moment, a demon soldier turned his gaze toward the Demon God and asked in a trembling voice, "My lord Demon God, what should we do next?"

Hearing the words of that demon soldier, the Demon God's gaze immediately fell upon the other party.

After seeing the other party's gaze, the other party could not help but tremble in his heart, and his face instantly turned pale.

He had not expected that the Demon God would actually notice him.

Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his head, daring not to meet the Demon God's eyes.

"This subordinate knows he was wrong; this subordinate should not have spoken words he should not have spoken."

That demon soldier knelt on the ground, then begged for mercy in a state of extreme fear and trembling.

The other soldiers also saw that demon soldier.

They knew he had committed the thing my lord Demon God most forbade; that demon soldier would certainly not fare well.

But, what no one expected was that at this moment the Demon God held no intention of blaming him; instead, he silently raised his hand, gently waved it, and said, "Withdraw the troops. For now, retreat three steps."

Withdraw the troops!?

After hearing these two words, the expressions on everyone's faces could not help but show surprise; some could hardly believe their own ears.

You must know, the Demon God had solemnly led us all to kill our way over to Dark City; now, after suffering another great defeat, the Demon God would actually make the decision to withdraw the troops; this simply made them find it somewhat unbelievable.

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, the corner of the Demon God's mouth immediately drew a mocking smile.

"I should have listened to your words; if, if there had been more preparation, so many soldiers would not have died. Now I have learned my lesson; from now on I will take this as a warning."

After listening to his words, all the demon soldiers fell silent.

Although the Demon God's character is brutal, he is not without a brain; he knows the mistakes he has made.

Moreover, the words he just spoke undoubtedly made himself feel even more guilty.

The demon soldiers also saw the Demon God's reaction; at that moment, they all knelt down without exception.

It is because this subordinate's ability is insufficient that he has put my lord Demon God in a difficult position; please, my lord Demon God, punish me!

Please, my lord Demon God, punish me!

Seeing all these demon soldiers kneeling down, the Demon God frowned and said, "What are you doing? All of you, stand up!"

Hearing this sentence, the demon soldiers all knelt and refused to rise.

Seeing this, the Demon God could not help but sigh, shook his head, and then said, "Alright, all of you, get up."

Hearing the Demon God's words, those soldiers then slowly rose from the ground.

The Demon God glanced at these demon soldiers, then swept his gaze over them once more.

Next, the Demon God spoke: "Truly, I am sorry; I have disappointed you."

Hearing these words, everyone was stunned.

No one expected that the Demon God would actually apologize to them personally.

This was also something they had not anticipated at all.

My lord Demon God is too severe.

Yes, it is all because we are too weak that we fell into traps and were deceived time and again.

Yes, if we had been cautious enough, we would not have allowed the enemy to exploit loopholes.

After hearing the Demon God's words, those demon soldiers all lowered their heads, looking utterly ashamed.

Seeing this scene, the Demon God could not help but smile bitterly.

He had not expected that his own fault would be borne by his subordinates.

Thinking of this, the Demon God's tone also softened considerably; he said to those demon soldiers, "This time, it is simply that those fellows from Dark City were lucky; but next time, I guarantee I will not give them any chance to live. Do you all still wish to follow me?"

Hearing the Demon God's question, those demon soldiers did not hesitate in the slightest; they shouted in unison, "We are willing!"

Very well. From now on, I will lead you all to continue the campaign against Dark City and utterly destroy Dark City!

Yes, my lord Demon God!

Afterwards, the great demon army began to withdraw.

Seeing this scene, all the lords inside Dark City breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles of survival after disaster appeared on their faces.

But those demon soldiers who were leaving were exactly the opposite; their hearts were filled with anger.

Li Yue sat in his chair and also saw this scene occurring outside the city gate; immediately, his expression turned unfavorable.

At this moment, Lord Chenxi, Princess Feifeng, Todd Nelson, trotted over to Li Yue's side and excitedly reported the battle results to the other party.

"Lord Chenxi, this time we almost expended no troops at all, yet we repelled the demons' attack once again; at the very least, the enemy lost over a thousand soldiers this time!" Hearing Princess Feifeng's words, Li Yue nodded.

But his expression did not look particularly happy.

Lord Chenxi, Princess Feifeng, Todd Nelson, seeing this scene, was somewhat curious and asked, "What's wrong!? Is something the matter?" Li Yue sighed deeply and asked, "Just now, did you see what happened on the battlefield outside?"

Hearing Li Yue's sentence, Lord Todd Nelson nodded, then said, "Just now, while watching the battle from atop the city wall, I saw it."

"Although this time we indeed won by sheer luck, I fear it will not be so easy next time. What I am worried about now is precisely this." Oh!? Then, according to your view, what should we do now?

After Li Yue's words fell, Lord Todd Nelson pondered for a while, then spoke and asked.

Hearing Lord Todd Nelson's words, Li Yue pondered for a while, then said, "To speak honestly, I do not know what to do either. After all, the battlefield changes with the wind and clouds very quickly; all we can do is meet the enemy with a general and the water with earth, and strive to secure victory for us."

Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Todd Nelson pondered for a moment, then spoke: "Lord Chenxi, do not think too much. Regardless, we have won now; do not be overly anxious like a man worrying about the sky falling. As for what comes next, leave it to me to handle."

Li Yue heard Princess Feifeng's words and did not refuse.

His body is already very weak now; he also needs to rest well for a period of time and cannot, as before, fight for his life every day to deal with various problems. Therefore, what Todd Nelson said is correct; it is better to leave it to him to handle.

"Mm, then I will trouble you. By the way, I indeed need to rest a bit."
