Chapter 1480: Treatment

Seeing Li Yue's look, the Lord of Killers fell silent for a moment, then spoke: "My thoughts align with Princess Feifeng's—we scatter our forces and lure the enemy into the city. We know the terrain here; fighting here will be easier."

Hearing the Lord of Killers' words, Li Yue shook his head and said: "Your plan, to some extent, isn't perfect. It might work against ordinary enemies, but our opponent is the Demon Race!"

The Demon Race has far more troops than humans. If we scatter like this, we're essentially handing our backs to them. What if they pick us off one by one? What then?! Li Yue said.

Moreover, with their overwhelming numbers, once they break in, we'll be utterly trapped in danger.

Upon hearing Li Yue's words, Todd Nelson and the Lord of Killers both grew grim.

Lord Chenxi, then what do you propose? What should we do? Todd Nelson asked.

My point is, we must not scatter our forces—we must concentrate them. If we split up, we're easy targets for individual destruction. We must unite our strength to confront the Demon Race, Li Yue said.

Unite our strength? Todd Nelson froze.

Li Yue nodded: Yes. We concentrate our forces and annihilate the Demon Race's army in one strike.

"But even if we concentrate, we may still not withstand the Demon Race's full assault."

Todd Nelson hesitated.

"I understand your concern, but don't worry too much. Have you ever heard of bluffing?"

Li Yue said.

Bluffing?! Hearing Li Yue's words, Todd Nelson and the Lord of Killers both stared in shock.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Li Yue explained: Yes, think about it—the Demon Race has fought us for so long. Do they even know our exact numbers?

Under normal circumstances, the Demon Race has no idea how many of us there are.

Hearing this, Todd Nelson nodded heavily: "That's right. Precisely because of this, we can use bluffing to deceive them—and that will buy us plenty of opportunities."

So my idea is: before their attack arrives, we deceive them first—make them afraid to attack!

That way, we remain hidden, while they are exposed—making our next moves far easier.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Todd Nelson and the Lord of Killers both realized it at once.

Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

If the Demon Race is wary, they'll be constrained everywhere—they won't dare attack us as recklessly as before.

Yes, this idea is excellent.

Todd Nelson and the Lord of Killers both spoke in agreement.

Hearing their approval, Li Yue smiled and said: "Then go prepare now. Remember—make sure everyone knows this plan. Make sure they all take part."

Hearing Li Yue's words, Todd Nelson and the Lord of Killers both nodded in assent.

Meanwhile, the witch standing beside them finally spoke.

"Lord Chenxi, let me now treat your injuries," the witch said.

Good, thank you for your effort, Li Yue said politely.

Hearing Li Yue's courteous words, the witch smiled faintly, saying it was no trouble.

The others then all withdrew.

Once the door closed, only Li Yue and the witch remained in the room.

The witch said: "Lord Cheng Xi, I'll now reattach your arm. The process may be painful—you must endure it."

Hearing the witch's words, Li Yue said nothing, simply closed his eyes, and waited.

The witch placed her hand on Li Yue's shoulder, laying her right palm against it, then channeled her inner power, slowly sending it into Li Yue's body.

Li Yue felt a strange force surging wildly within him, like a fire burning uncontrollably.

His wound burned with searing pain—the stabbing agony was overwhelming, forcing Li Yue to frown.

But for his own sake, Li Yue remained silent.

As Li Yue endured, the fiery pain soon faded, replaced by a cool force flowing from his arm, bringing him relief.

At this moment, the witch whispered softly.

Lord Cheng Xi, how do you feel?

Li Yue opened his eyes and nodded: Mm, much better. The process was quite comfortable.

Hearing Li Yue's praise, the witch's cheeks flushed slightly as she said: "If so, then I'll now repair your bones."

Hearing the witch's words, Li Yue nodded.

The witch placed her hands on Li Yue again. This time, she summoned all her power and slowly infused it into his bones, meticulously mending his wounds, bit by bit.

As the witch worked, Li Yue's muscles gradually softened, and soon he felt as if his body had come alive again.

As time passed, Li Yue's severed arm slowly regrew.

Watching the speed of regrowth, Li Yue felt a surge of joy—he could finally return to normal.

After an unknown length of time, the witch finally finished.

She retracted her power into herself, now utterly drained. Her face was exhausted, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead.

Seeing her condition, Li Yue felt deep guilt.

If not for him, the witch would never have ended up in this state.

Thank you, Li Yue said.

Hearing Li Yue, the witch shook her head.

Lord Cheng Xi, you're too kind. I was merely following orders. Besides, you've already done us little witches a great favor, the witch said.

Hearing the witch's words, Li Yue smiled slightly and said:

Enough said. Rest now, quickly.

Li Yue said.
