Chapter 1543

They knew that from now on, they were doomed.

Not only had they failed to complete the mission, they had even become hostages to the enemy.

Thinking of this, their hearts felt infinitely aggrieved, utterly helpless.

But what could they do?

"Although I don't know what scheme you, Li Yue, are hatching, trying to use us to threaten my lord the Demon God is nothing but a pipe dream."

A Demon General's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he ground out the words through clenched teeth.

Is that so? I hope your mouths stay that tough.

Upon hearing this, Li Yue showed no surprise on his face.

Hmph! We would rather die together than betray my lord the Demon God.

Do not think you can force us to surrender with such tricks.

Hearing Li Yue's words, that Demon General's face flashed with determination as he snorted coldly.

At this moment, one of the Demon Generals immediately decided to bite off his own tongue and end his life.

However, just as he was about to crush his tongue, Li Yue acted first.

He extended his right hand, grabbed the Demon General, then suddenly raised his right leg and kicked hard into the General's lower abdomen.

With a dull thud, the Demon General's stomach caved in immediately; his eyes rolled back and he fainted dead away.

Li Yue casually tossed the man aside and looked at the other Demon Generals: "Does anyone else want to die? I don't mind knocking another one out."

Li Yue's voice was utterly flat.

Hearing Li Yue's words, the group of Demon Generals all trembled with fear, dared not say another word, and bowed their heads one after another.

After all, as the old saying goes, a wretched life is better than a good death; if they truly chose death, it would mean leaving this world forever.

Seeing the fear on those Demon Generals' faces, Li Yue nodded in satisfaction and said: "It seems you also know how to fear death, so just obey. When the time is ripe, I will let you go."

Otherwise, when that time comes, you will not be as lucky as you are now.

The group of Demon Generals said nothing and made no other move.

Li Yue nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling at that moment on Lord William Jors, the God-Slayer Lord beside him, and he said: "Then I'll trouble you. By the way, gag them too, so this kind of situation doesn't happen again."

Understood, I'll go handle it immediately! William Jors nodded at once, and after speaking, nodded to Lord Feifeng, Todd Nelson.

So the two stepped forward and gagged all the Demon Generals.

Immediately, they had those Demon Generals taken away and locked up properly.

After finishing these matters, William Jors looked at Li Yue and said: "Lord Chenxi, what do we do next?"

"It certainly won't be to keep fighting the Demons; I was thinking of negotiating with them." Li Yue looked at William Jors and spoke.

Negotiate? Hearing Li Yue's words, William Jors was slightly stunned.

He never expected Li Yue to propose negotiating with the enemy; after all, the enemy was the Demon God.

"Lord Chenxi, will this plan work? You know the Demon God's character is extremely arrogant and conceited, and I worry he simply won't agree." William Jors frowned and said.

That should be no problem; after all, we now hold the lives of several Demon Generals in our hands. I believe that as long as we propose terms, he will definitely agree. Li Yue looked at William Jors and said: "Moreover, if the Demon God refuses, then he will bear the charge of not valuing his subordinates' lives; that charge alone is enough to damage the Demon God's reputation on the Divine Battlefield."

Li Yue's words made William Jors' expression become Solemn; he knew that what Li Yue said was indeed reasonable; if the Demon God did not agree, then he could not bear that responsibility.

At that time, what soldiers would still be willing to fight for the Demon God?

"But... what if, say, the Demon God truly refuses to negotiate, what should be done?!"
