Chapter 1504

After hearing Li Yue's words, the soldier quickly nodded, then turned and ran toward the distance.

Li Yue watched the soldier depart, then said softly: I hope the Demon Clan will not continue their reckless attacks while we are injured; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As Li Yue thought these words, he turned around, returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Shortly after, a sound came from outside the door, followed by a soldier arriving to report.

"My lord, Lord Chenxi, I have come to report the situation as you commanded." The soldier stood at the doorway without entering and spoke respectfully.

Hearing this, Li Yue immediately opened his eyes, looked at the soldier, and said: Come in!

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately pushed open the door, entered, came before Li Yue, then bowed respectfully to Li Yue and said: My lord, Lord Chenxi.

While speaking, he also performed a bow to Li Yue.

Li Yue raised his hand to indicate that such formality was unnecessary, then said: Speak! What exactly is happening outside? I want to know the situation of the Demon Clan.

Very well, my lord. The soldier responded, then briefly recounted the events outside.

Currently, due to the Demon God's attack, the forces originally sent to support them have lost nearly one-third of their numbers. At that time, to escape the mad Demon God, countless Demon soldiers scattered in all directions. Although the Demon God has now ordered the scattered Demon soldiers to regroup, I fear that within Yishiban Society, they will find it difficult to gather again, given how chaotic the situation was at the time.

Upon hearing these words, Li Yue frowned.

His expression changed slightly, then he asked: How long do you estimate those Demon soldiers will need to regroup?

My lord, Lord Chenxi, according to reports from our reconnaissance units, there are currently at least thirty thousand Demon soldiers outside; even at the fastest, it will take three to five days.

The soldier said this to Li Yue.

Upon hearing the other's words, Li Yue's expression instantly improved slightly.

Three to five days means we still have three to five days of spare time.

This amount of time is enough for him to begin rebuilding and recovering.

However, Li Yue still dared not be careless in any way.

He nodded and continued asking: "Is there any other news about the Demon Clan!?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier rested his chin on his hand, carefully considered the information he possessed, then said: According to my observations, recently there have been some different voices emerging among the Demon Clan.

Hearing this, Li Yue immediately widened his eyes, looked at the soldier, and asked: What voices?

After hearing Li Yue speak thus, the soldier immediately replied: It is said that some Demon soldiers are beginning to harbor complaints about this battle. They feel that after fighting for so long without achieving any victory, it is truly shameful. Some even believe that the troops should withdraw now.

Upon hearing the soldier's words, Li Yue's heart suddenly skipped a beat, then he said: Do all these Demon soldiers share such thoughts?

That is hard to say; only some people hold such thoughts, while others do not. They believe that since we have already lost so many people, withdrawing now would be a great waste. The soldier answered thus.

Upon hearing the soldier's words, Li Yue felt somewhat worried.

If most of the Demon soldiers hold the attitude of preferring to be shattered jade rather than intact tiles, then this battle may be extremely difficult to fight! After all, these Demon soldiers are not easily provoked; I fear we would gain nothing and lose much.

How many Demon soldiers were injured, and how many Demon personnel died?

This... my lord, Lord Cheng Xi, this is difficult to calculate. After all, we dare not approach too closely to the areas where the Demon soldiers reside, and now these people are scattered everywhere; we have no way to estimate the exact numbers! The soldier answered Li Yue truthfully.

Hearing this, Li Yue silently sighed: "Very well, you may go down. Continue monitoring the movements of the Demon soldiers outside. If the Demon Clan makes any unusual moves, inform me immediately."

Li Yue immediately gave these orders to the soldier.

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately nodded, turned, walked out, and closed the door.

After closing the door, Li Yue fell into deep thought.
