Chapter 1416: Taking Advantage of a Crisis

Seeing this, the military doctor's face brightened slightly, and he spoke: "My Lord Chenxi, now that the source of the poison has been found, the rest will be easy."

Hearing the military doctor's words, Li Yue nodded gently.

"Since the source of the poison has been found, you should be able to easily produce the corresponding antidote, right!?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, a smile appeared on the military doctor's face, and he spoke: "My Lord, you need not worry about this. As long as the source of the poison is found, producing the antidote becomes much more convenient."

"However, it will still require some time. I beg you, My Lord Chenxi, to grant me a little time, however little."

Hearing the military doctor's words, Li Yue nodded and said: "Then I will trouble you, military doctor."

"My Lord speaks too highly. I am merely doing my duty."

The military doctor said.

At this moment, Li Yue propped his chin with his hand, thinking seriously.

"I truly did not expect the Demon Clan to poison the water. How exactly did they manage it? Clearly, they cannot even enter the city, so how could they achieve this?"

For a moment, Li Yue could not figure out this problem.

The military doctor 207 standing nearby also fell into silence, but soon, as if realizing something, his gaze turned toward Li Yue.

"My Lord Chenxi, I actually have a hypothesis!"

Hearing the military doctor's words, Li Yue immediately spoke: "What hypothesis? Speak quickly."

"If I recall correctly, when some wells in our Dark City were constructed, for convenience, they were dug to tap into underground river flows. So, in fact, the enemy did not poison the city itself, but poisoned the river channel outside the city. The river water flowed along the river into the underground river and finally entered the wells." The military doctor spoke slowly.

Hearing the military doctor's words, Li Yue nodded and said: "Yes, such a simple matter, how did I not think of it?"

After speaking, Li Yue lowered his hand and said: "In this way, it can explain clearly why some people were poisoned while others were not; the reason is that they drank from different wells."

The military doctor nodded and said: "Correct, it is precisely because of this reason that the toxin was diluted by the water, so everyone's degree of poisoning is different. It must be said, it is also good luck that we have now figured out exactly what is happening. If these toxins increase any further, I fear lives will be lost."

After speaking, he looked up at Li Yue and said: "My Lord Chenxi, the problem now is that we must identify the poisoned water sources and isolate them, while protecting the non-poisoned water sources. Otherwise, once all the water becomes poisoned, then the entire Dark City will be in imminent peril."

Hearing the military doctor's words, Li Yue nodded, indicating his agreement.

"You can rest assured on this point. I will handle this matter. Go and attend to your duties." Li Yue said indifferently.

"Yes, then I will take my leave." After speaking, the military doctor bowed deeply and then turned to walk inside the door.

After the military doctor walked out, Li Yue, at this very moment, could not wait to go out and begin his work.

First, he would gather the soldiers who were safe and unharmed together.

In a short while, the room where Li Yue was located was crowded with hundreds of soldiers. Li Yue glanced around at everyone and spoke slowly: "Everyone, this is a moment of life and death for Dark City. Now, I have a task to assign to you."

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone's gaze immediately focused on him.

"My Lord Chenxi, please give any orders you need!" a soldier said respectfully.

Li Yue waved his hand and spoke: "Everyone knows that many soldiers within our city have been poisoned inexplicably. It has now been determined that the source of the poisoning comes from the Demon Clan entering the city through underground water, and then entering the soldiers' bodies through drinking and other means. To prevent the toxin from spreading further, I first require you to do a few things."

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone immediately became interested and asked: "We do not know what task My Lord Chenxi has for us to accomplish?"

Hearing their words, Li Yue said: "First, go find the water sources and seal off all connected underground water wells within the city. Do not let the soldiers drink this poisoned water anymore." Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone nodded and agreed one after another.

"Second, I require that the remaining wells not yet contaminated with poison be properly isolated and protected. Once all wells become poisoned, that will be the moment of doom for our Dark City. I now only require you to accomplish these two things. Is there no problem?" Li Yue looked at everyone and said.

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone immediately spoke in unison: "No problem!"

Li Yue nodded.

Next, Li Yue continued to speak: "Then there is no time to lose. Begin the action immediately." "Yes, My Lord Chenxi."

Immediately, everyone began to move, scattering in all directions to search for the water sources within the city's wells.

Outside the city, at this moment, the Demon God stood at a high place, gazing at Dark City from afar.

At this time, a slight smile played on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes shimmered with thick killing intent.

"Hmph, there are far fewer guards on the city tower. It seems they must have been poisoned. This time, I will see exactly how long Dark City can hold out. Hmph, Li Yue, let us see where else you can run." The Demon God sneered and spoke, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Afterwards, the Demon God turned his gaze to the countless Demon Clan soldiers standing ready behind him. He said: "Now, the defenses of Dark City have reached their loosest point, which is also our greatest opportunity for victory. Now is precisely the best time for us to march on Dark City."

"Warriors of the Demon Clan, follow me into battle!!!" The Demon God spoke.

Roar~!

Hearing the Demon God's command, the Demon Clan army below immediately let out a series of roars. Immediately, everyone began to move.

The Demon God saw his great hand wave and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Demon Clan, charge!!!"

Following the Demon God's command, the Demon Clan army began to advance slowly, moving in a vast procession toward Dark City.

Inside Dark City.
