Chapter 1549: Li Yue's Thoughts

The Demon God finished speaking, then his gaze fell upon the Demon General before him. He continued, "Where are the others? Are they the same as you?"

Hearing the Demon God's words, the Demon General's lips twitched a few times, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and merely nodded, falling silent.

Seeing this, the Demon God immediately understood his meaning. Then he waved his hand, ordering the surrounding soldiers to come forward.

At that moment, he looked at the Demon General and said, "Come, return with me to recuperate your injuries. We will settle this account later!"

"Yes, my lord!" Hearing the Demon God's words, the Demon General immediately nodded, then was helped to his feet by the Demon God and followed him away from there.

After the Demon God departed, Li Yue returned directly to his own camp.

At this time, Lord Chenxi and the Lord of the Killing God, William Jors, hurriedly approached. Their first words were, "Lord Chenxi, how did it go? How went the negotiations with the Demon God?"

Seeing the two arrive, Li Yue could not help but smile slightly and said, "Very well. Although there were some deviations from expectations, we have secured some time."

Afterwards, Li Yue recounted the transaction he had just made with the Demon God to them.

After hearing Li Yue's account, a trace of joy appeared on Lord Chenxi's face.

"Excellent! We have finally managed to buy ourselves some time!" Lord Chenxi said.

"Indeed, it was truly very difficult!" Hearing Lord Chenxi's words, the Lord of the Killing God, William Jors, also said with an excited expression.

Seeing the two of them, Li Yue also smiled slightly and said, "Though that is the case, we must not let our guard down!"

Hearing Li Yue's words, Lord Chenxi and the Lord of the Killing God, William Jors, both nodded and said, "Mm, Lord Li Yue is right; this matter truly must not be taken lightly." Hearing the two of them, Li Yue also nodded, then asked, "Next, those who should train the soldiers will train the soldiers, those who should rest will rest, and those on patrol must patrol thoroughly. No errors must occur. What do you two think?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, the two immediately nodded and said, "Very well. Since Lord Li Yue has spoken thus, we naturally have no objections."

"Very well. In that case, let us proceed according to the original plan," Li Yue said.

"Understood." After saying this, Lord Chenxi and the Lord of the Killing God, William Jors, immediately turned and left.

Seeing the two of them, Li Yue could not help but smile and shake his head.

Although the battle situation had improved slightly for Li Yue at this moment, Li Yue knew this was only temporary.

After all, having suffered such a loss, the Demon Clan would absolutely not let the matter rest; they would definitely try every means to retaliate.

Therefore, before completely eliminating the Demon Clan's forces, Li Yue dared not underestimate the enemy.

Thinking of this, Li Yue could not help but shake his head. Then, a thought spontaneously arose in his mind.

"Now our manpower is insufficient. It seems we must rely on geographical advantages."

Li Yue said this to himself.

Immediately, a trace of smile appeared on Li Yue's face.

"It seems I must learn the combat methods from my past life's memories."

After speaking, Li Yue looked at a nearby soldier, raised his hand, pointed at him, and said, "Go! Gather some physically strong soldiers. The more, the better. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord."

Immediately, this soldier left to convey Li Yue's orders.

After the soldier departed, Li Yue headed toward his own room.

Soon, a group of soldiers entered Li Yue's room. They looked at Li Yue, their faces filled with admiration as they gazed at him, then shouted in unison, "We pay our respects to Lord Chenxi!"

Seeing these people, Li Yue displayed a faint smile. Then he waved to them, signaling them to sit down.

"Lord Chenxi, is there something you need from us?" one of the soldiers asked curiously.

Li Yue nodded. "Mm, there is indeed something. Everyone sit down first, then we will speak."

After all of them were seated before Li Yue, Li Yue said to them, "Very well, everyone rise. Next, we must discuss carefully what we should do next."

"Yes, my lord!" Hearing Li Yue's words, these people immediately stood up.

Then they looked at Li Yue with utmost respect, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, everyone sit down again."

"Yes!" After hearing Li Yue's words, these people immediately sat down, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on Li Yue.

After seeing everyone seated, Li Yue said, "Now, we must assign tasks!"

Hearing Li Yue's words, these people immediately looked up, their eyes filled with expectation as they gazed at Li Yue.

"Now, although we have delayed the Demon Clan for nearly a month, remember one thing: the Demon Clan will not let the matter rest. Therefore, in the coming month, I need your help to do one thing."

"Lord Chenxi, what is required? Just give the order directly." After hearing Li Yue's words, one soldier immediately asked.

"Yes, yes, Lord Chenxi, just give the order. Whatever we are capable of, we will definitely do for you without holding anything back."

"Please rest assured. As long as we can resolve the Demon Clan's troubles, even if we must face boiling water and scorching fire, we will not hesitate!"

"Exactly, exactly. As long as we can defeat the Demon Clan, even if we must climb a mountain of knives or descend into a cauldron of oil, we will not shrink from it!"

Hearing their words, Li Yue's eyes immediately narrowed. Then he looked at them and said, "Mm, actually there is nothing important. We simply need everyone to mark all the terrain of Dark City. I have great use for it."

"Understood! We will definitely not fail our mission!" Hearing Li Yue's words, these people immediately replied.

After they finished speaking, one soldier immediately asked curiously, "Lord Chenxi, what use is there in marking this? May you inform us!?"
