Chapter 1436: Let You Die

"Good! Since that is the case, then I shall no longer beat around the bush!" Li Yue spoke, and as he did, he raised his head.

"I wish to ask you, regarding the current battle situation, what are your opinions or thoughts?" Li Yue asked.

Hearing Li Yue's words, that injured man spoke: "Lord Chenxi, the current battle situation is very pessimistic."

"Our troops have already suffered many deaths, and we have no reinforcements whatsoever. If we continue like this, I fear it will not be long before we are completely wiped out."

That injured man spoke; as he spoke, worry was written all over his face, and his words were full of anxiety.

Hearing that injured man's words, Li Yue could not help but sigh in his heart.

"So, do others share this thought as well?" Li Yue continued to ask.

"Two, two, three."

"This is certain; our current casualties are too heavy, and we simply cannot hold out for long!" other injured men spoke.

"However, with Lord Chenxi you by our side, we still have great confidence in this battle. I believe Lord Chenxi you can definitely lead us to completely defeat the enemy!"

Hearing the injured man's words, Li Yue could not help but feel a bit ashamed; how did he feel he had become a savior?

This made the words he originally wanted to say even more impossible to utter at this moment.

For a time, there was silence for a long while.

Seeing that Li Yue did not speak, no one else dared to speak.

And at this moment, Li Yue slowly began to speak: "To speak the truth, regarding this battle, I basically no longer hold any hope. What needed to be done, we have already done, yet we still failed to defeat the Demon God. You have also seen my current state, right? Continuing to fight from now on, I fear will not be that easy."

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone lowered their heads one after another; they knew clearly in their hearts that these words were not some hypocritical speech, because the injuries Li Yue had suffered were real, not lies.

Li Yue continued to speak.

"However, there is indeed one method to resist the Demon Clan." Having finished speaking, Li Yue looked at the people before him.

Hearing Li Yue's words, everyone could not help but look at him with some confusion and spoke: "Oh? Is there any other method to resist the Demon God's attack? Is there a second chance to counterattack?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, those few veteran soldiers one after another asked.

"Correct, there is indeed a chance to counterattack, but it requires paying a huge price!" Li Yue nodded and answered.

"What price? As long as we can repel the Demon Clan, we are willing to pay any price, even if it means sacrificing our lives!"

Hearing Li Yue's words, those few veteran soldiers one after another expressed their thoughts in their hearts.

Looking at this group of injured men before him, Li Yue found himself unable to speak further.

Seeing Li Yue's expression, the many injured men seemed to have guessed something; they were all stunned, and then they thought of something.

"Lord Chenxi, are you saying we need to sacrifice our lives?"

Hearing everyone's words, at this moment, Li Yue dared not say yes, nor did he dare to say no.

But it was precisely his current appearance that undoubtedly confirmed everyone's guess.

Seeing Li Yue's appearance, no one knew what they should say.

"Good, then we will follow Lord Chenxi's wishes; we are willing to sacrifice our lives to help Lord Chenxi you!" one of the injured men spoke.

Hearing his words, the other few injured men one after another spoke: "That's right, we are also willing to pay our lives for Lord Chenxi; even if we die on the battlefield, we will not hesitate!"

Seeing the many soldiers before him, Li Yue was filled with countless emotions; their loyalty was the highest, yet because of this one matter, they sacrificed their lives, which made Li Yue feel it was somewhat not worth it.

"To speak the truth, the method I thought of cannot be said to be one hundred percent able to repel the Demon Clan." Li Yue's words made the atmosphere instantly silent.

His words made everyone fall into deep thought.

After a while, finally, one injured man reacted first.

"Lord Chenxi, if we sacrifice our lives, can it increase the win rate, or change the current battle situation!?"

That soldier spoke.

"Correct, that is certain." Li Yue nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Li Yue's affirmative words, that soldier instantly became excited: "Since you say so, then it is not a loss... Our current state is basically all useless, completely unable to help in any way, so, if sacrificing us can increase the win rate, then sacrificing us is also worth it."

Li Yue's words indeed resonated with the soldiers present.

They were all a group of injured useless people; now, besides eating, drinking, and excreting, they could do nothing else.

At this time, the gazes of several injured soldiers turned to Li Yue, and they said: "Lord Chenxi, could you please step out for a moment and give us a little time to ease up?" Hearing the words of the few injured soldiers, Li Yue nodded, and then walked out of the tent.

But immediately after, he stopped again, turned to look at everyone, and then with a thud, directly knelt down before everyone. "I, Li Yue, am sorry to everyone."

Seeing Li Yue's behavior, all the injured soldiers present were at a loss.

"What is happening? Why did he suddenly kneel down? This is a lord; ordinary people would never kneel before them!" "Lord Chenxi, what are you doing?" "Absolutely not, absolutely not!"

Seeing Li Yue kneel down, all the injured men were at a loss and shouted one after another.

"Lord Chenxi, get up quickly, get up quickly!"

"You are killing us with this!"

"Sigh, our injuries are just flesh and skin pains; they are absolutely not worth you doing this!"

Li Yue knelt on the ground and did not get up; his voice sounded somewhat choked.

"I understand everyone's intentions."

"It is just that making everyone die is something I, Li Yue, am forcing you to do. I am sorry to everyone."

After hearing Li Yue's words, the many injured soldiers immediately looked at each other, completely at a loss.

They did not expect Li Yue to say such a thing.

"Lord Chenxi, you need not blame yourself; these are all things we are willing to do. Moreover, your choice has no fault. As long as we can drive away the Demon Clan, that is already the best for us." The injured man with lighter injuries spoke; after he finished, his gaze fell among that group of injured soldiers.

"Does everyone agree?"

Hearing that injured man's words, those injured men one after another nodded.
