Chapter 1460

Princess Feifeng! Seeing Todd's state, Li Yue couldn't help but call out.

Cough, cough! Hearing Li Yue's shout, Princess Feifeng Todd Nelson couldn't hold back a violent fit of coughing and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

How are you? Are you all right? Seeing Princess Feifeng in such a state, Li Yue was immediately filled with worry.

I… I'm fine, I only suffered some minor injuries. I'll be fine after resting for a while. Princess Feifeng said, panting heavily as she spoke.

After hearing Princess Feifeng's words, Li Yue couldn't help but furrow his brow, a look of worry spreading across his face.

However, Li Yue quickly shifted his attention to William Joels.

"Your injuries aren't light either, sit down and rest first." As he spoke, Li Yue reached out and steadied William Joels' body, pressing him down to sit on the ground nearby.

Thank you! Sitting on the ground, William Joels gave Li Yue a grateful look, then cupped his fists toward Li Yue and said.

You're welcome. Li Yue waved his hand and said, "I'll go find someone to come help you treat your wounds. You two just stay put and don't move around."

Hearing Li Yue's instruction, William Joels nodded, and Li Yue then turned and walked off into the distance.

In no time at all, Li Yue returned with several military doctors to examine Todd Nelson and William Joels.

Soon, Li Yue had the military doctors treat William Nelson and Princess Feifeng's wounds first.

During the bandaging, Li Yue opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, what exactly did you run into just now? How could it cause such serious injuries? And what about the others?"

Hearing Li Yue's question, William Nelson and Princess Feifeng exchanged a glance, and Todd Nelson then began to speak: It's like this. Originally, according to plan, we began to ambush the demon army's camp, but somehow, the Demon God seemed to have discovered our existence, so he led several high-ranking demons in launching a frenzied attack against us. Moreover, the Demon God's strength was extremely formidable—nothing we could resist at all.

Hearing Todd Nelson's explanation, Li Yue couldn't help but furrow his brow, a look of doubt crossing his face, and said: If that's really how it was, they shouldn't have made it back so easily. Could it be that the Demon God showed great mercy? No, that's completely impossible!

One couldn't blame Li Yue for thinking this way, after all, the enmity between the Demon God and Dark City ran far too deep and thick—there was no way he would simply let things go so easily.

Even with the two of us fighting together, we were no match for the Demon God. But just now, a great fire suddenly broke out in the demon army's camp, and the Demon God stopped his attack temporarily in order to save his men. Princess Feifeng said.

The Demon God's great camp was set ablaze? Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked.

Hearing Li Yue's question, Princess Feifeng nodded and said: Yes, that's exactly how it was.

"Could it be…? What about the others?"

A rather unpleasant thought suddenly surfaced in Qin Xiao's mind, making his breathing quicken, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead without his realizing it.

If his guess was right, then the others in the demon army were in danger.

"They… probably won't be coming back." William Joels said, tears streaming from his eyes.

Won't be coming back? Hearing William Joels' words, Li Yue was instantly stunned.

But he quickly regained his composure, as if he had already known the outcome long ago.

He raised his hand and gently patted the two of them on the shoulder, comforting them: "All right, I understand. You two just go and recuperate properly. As for the rest, leave it to me."

Hearing Li Yue's words, William Joels and Princess Feifeng did not dare disobey Li Yue's order, so the two of them, regardless of how serious their injuries currently were, stood up directly and cupped their fists in a bow toward Li Yue: "Lord Chenxi, we are truly sorry—we have disappointed you."

Hearing William Joels and Princess Feifeng's apology, Li Yue couldn't help but shake his head, then said: You don't need to say sorry to me—I don't mean to blame you. After all, no one could have foreseen something like this. You don't need to take it to heart.

Hearing Li Yue's words, William Joels and Princess Feifeng exchanged a glance, a flicker of guilt shining in their eyes.

"Take the Godslaying Lord and Princess Feifeng down to rest." Li Yue called out to the military doctors beside him.

Yes, my lord. The military doctors nodded, then led the two away from the place.

Watching William Joels and Princess Feifeng leave, Li Yue suddenly called out to them: You've already done well enough. There's no need to take unhappy matters to heart. Once your bodies have mostly recovered, continue on to fight the enemy.

Thank you, Lord Chenxi. Hearing Li Yue's words, William Joels immediately cupped his fists, bowed to Li Yue, and then spoke.

"Mm!" Li Yue nodded, waved his hand, and signaled for William Joels and Princess Feifeng to leave.

After watching William Joels and Princess Feifeng leave, Li Yue looked off into the distance, a contemplative look crossing his face.

The bulk of the Demon God's forces have already been wiped out, and the remaining troops haven't arrived yet. It seems this great battle cannot afford any delay—if the demon reinforcements arrive, things will get troublesome.

Thinking of this, Li Yue couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

Although he wasn't clear on exactly how many demon soldiers there were, from this demon operation alone, one could tell that the demon army was absolutely not small in number.

However, at this time—3.7—this situation, for Li Yue, didn't lend itself to making any useful decisions.

Thinking of this, Li Yue let out a helpless sigh, preparing to put the matter out of his mind.

And at this moment, his gaze turned toward the place outside the city where the demon army's camp lay. Listening to the sounds of fighting in the distance, a trace of guilt surfaced in his eyes.

After all, those people had all gone to attack the demon army's camp on his orders, and now that they couldn't return, he bore a share of the responsibility.

Yet, in his heart, Li Yue did not regret it.

Because if the demon troops were still left inside the city, the Kongpajiu Society would bring disaster to Dark City, and might even plunge the entire continent into turmoil.

Although Dark City had now suffered heavy troop losses under the demon army's fierce assault, at the very least it had also inflicted no small amount of damage on the demons.
