Chapter 1506: Winning the Heart

Meanwhile, Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng, standing nearby, shared the same view as Lord William Jores of the Killing God. He advised Li Yue, "My Lord Chenxi, although I do not know what your current intentions are, you must understand one thing: if we do not kill the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan will kill us. Keeping them is simply inviting trouble for ourselves, and we would even have to dispatch some soldiers to guard them. Tell me, if something were to happen in the meantime, what should we do!?"

The two began persuading Li Yue together.

Seeing their expressions, a faint smile appeared on Li Yue's face. He spoke: "My Lords, do not misunderstand. I am doing this not because I have any special purpose. I also believe that what you two have said is very reasonable. But have you considered that if the battle continues like this, it will likely be a bad thing for us?"

As he spoke, Li Yue slowly revealed his thoughts in the room.

For this period, we have fought the Demon Clan countless times, almost always suffering countless losses. Meanwhile, the Demon Clan, having occupied most of the continent, possesses almost overwhelming replenishment capabilities. Now we are trapped here, and rescue is almost impossible.

Therefore, I hope my Lords can imagine: if this continues, how extremely disadvantageous it will be for us!?"

After hearing Li Yue's words, both fell silent. Clearly, they knew this point as well, but they were helpless. After all, the strength of the current Demon soldiers was indeed formidable; they were simply beyond their ability to handle. They could only try to delay the war and seek an opportunity.

At this moment, Li Yue slowly said, "And now, according to reports, some soldiers within the Demon ranks have already begun to grow weary of fighting. If we can expand upon this psychology of theirs, would that not be of great benefit to us!?"

Upon hearing this, Lord William Jores of the Killing God and Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng exchanged a glance, then both nodded.

"Your idea is good, but what conflict is there between that and your idea of not killing?" Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng inquired.

"My idea is actually very simple: to employ psychological warfare. For instance, using the comrades and families of the Demon soldiers as leverage? What do you think!?"

"This..." Hearing Li Yue speak thus, Lord William Jores of the Killing God and Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng exchanged a glance, then nodded. "I agree with the idea you just proposed, but there is one problem: what method do you intend to use to negotiate with the Demon Clan and make them stop their attack on us? Moreover, this method carries great risk."

Hearing the doubts of Lord William Jores of the Killing God and Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng, Li Yue helplessly shook his head and spoke: "To speak the truth, I do not have any particular certainty either; I can only say we will take each step as it comes. But in this current situation, we have no other choice."

After saying this, Li Yue sighed deeply and said, "I have already told you my thoughts. Whether you can accept them depends on your own judgment."

The two did not speak, nor did they respond; instead, they looked at each other, resting their chins as they seriously considered what Li Yue had said.

"In that case, you think it over first. Once you have a result, tell me."

After speaking, Li Yue ignored them, turned, and left.

"Sigh, I never expected it to be such a troublesome matter!" Watching Li Yue's departing back, Lord William Jores of the Killing God said helplessly; he did not know what to do either.

Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng glanced at Li Yue's retreating figure and also sighed.

"Yes, I really did not expect it to be so troublesome. Speaking of which, Lord of the Killing God, what is your opinion!?"

As he spoke, Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng fixed his gaze upon Lord William Jores of the Killing God and inquired.

Lord William Jores of the Killing God thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I feel that what my Lord Chenxi said has some merit, but I am also very worried; doing this carries great risk. What if, just what if, the plan fails? Even our last defended ground would be breached. In that case, we would be completely defeated, with no further chance of victory, and we would die here."

"But if we do not do this, can we be trapped here for the rest of our lives?" After hearing Lord William Jores of the Killing God's words, Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng also felt troubled; he too felt this was a problem. But if they did not do this, he could think of no other way to stop the Demon Clan from continuing to invade us. Perhaps, this is the will of Heaven!?"

Just as the two fell into silence, Li Yue had already walked outside, silently waiting for the result.

At this moment, Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng seemed to make a decision and spoke to Lord William Jores of the Killing God: "Regardless, I think the method proposed by Lord Chenxi is worth trying. After all, no matter how you look at it, those Demons are beings with emotions; they cannot simply stand by and watch their comrades, friends, and families die!?"

Upon hearing this, Lord William Jores of the Killing God also agreed: "That is right. Although this method is dangerous, if we do not try it, perhaps we will have no chance. I also want to try!"

"In that case, I will go find Lord Chenxi and explain it!" As he spoke, Lord William Jores of the Killing God stood up, preparing to go out.

"I will go with you!" As he spoke, Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng also stood up and followed Lord William Jores of the Killing God out of the tent.

Outside, Li Yue watched them emerge, then asked: "My Lords, have you decided? If you have not decided, you may consider it further."

Upon hearing this, Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng spoke: "I have decided!"

"So have I." Lord William Jores of the Killing God also nodded.

Li Yue looked at the two, listening to what they said next.

The two spoke in unison to Li Yue: "We agree to your proposal, but there is one point: you must guarantee that the captured Demon soldiers will not harm our soldiers."

"I promise you." Li Yue gave his answer without hesitation. "I will use restrictions to control their behavior."

"Good!" Hearing Li Yue's answer, both Lord Todd Nelson of Feifeng and Lord William Jores of the Killing God agreed.

"Then it is settled. I will leave here first!" After speaking, Li Yue walked directly toward his own residence.
