Chapter 1553: The Plan Ahead

Upon hearing the Demon warrior's words, the Demon God immediately nodded: "Continue."

The Demon warrior spoke: "Why do we not prepare in advance? When winter arrives, we can seal off the entire city; by then, those fellows will have no choice but to freeze and starve to death within the winter cold." The Demon God rose to his feet, looked at the group of Demon Generals before him, and said: "Everyone, what do you think of this plan? Is it worth doing?"

Upon hearing the Demon God's inquiry, these Demon Generals immediately exclaimed: "Lord Chenxi is wise indeed!"

"This is an excellent idea; by then, we can let those fellows taste the agony of freezing to death while still alive~."

"Indeed, by then, they will surely suffer immensely."

"Hahaha..."

Hearing the crowd's words, the Demon God immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Very well, since you say so, I have no other option; we shall proceed exactly as you suggest."

Upon hearing the Demon God's words, the Demon warrior nodded: "Yes, my lord Demon God, I will immediately instruct my subordinates to begin preparations in advance."

Having said this, the Demon warrior departed directly from the Demon God's tent.

After watching the Demon warrior leave, a trace of coldness appeared on the Demon God's face, and he said: "Hmph, I just want to see what tricks you trash, Li Yue, can conjure up."

Having said this, the Demon God directly raised his hand, signaling everyone around to disperse.

Soon, all these people had left the Demon God's large tent.

Watching the crowd before him gradually vanish from his sight, a ruthless smile involuntarily spread across the Demon God's face.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this half-month, no major friction occurred between the Demon race and the lords of You'an City.

Even when friction did arise, it was merely minor skirmishes; Li Yue kept a close watch on the Demon race's actions throughout.

Yet for some reason, Li Yue always felt something was strangely amiss.

On this day, standing atop a high point and gazing at the massive Demon army before him, he felt an inexplicable sensation in his heart.

Just then, the figure of William Jors, the Lord of the God of Slaughter, suddenly appeared before Li Yue, and he immediately addressed him: "Lord Chenxi, is something the matter? I feel as though you seem burdened by some worry."

Seeing William Jors before him, Li Yue smiled and said: "Hehe, it is nothing; I merely thought of a few things, nothing worth mentioning."

Upon hearing Li Yue's words, William Jors said: "Oh, is that so?"

Looking at Li Yue before him, William Jors smiled and said: "Lord Chenxi, surely you haven't encountered some troublesome matter again? If there is anything, feel free to tell me."

Hearing this, Li Yue glanced at William Jors before him, then slightly shook his head and said: "No, I just feel that the Demon race's recent movements are somewhat strange."

Upon hearing Li Yue say this, William Jors immediately furrowed his brows and said: "Hasn't the Demon race been very well-behaved all this time? What trouble could they possibly cause now?"

"Hehe, that is truly hard to say; after all, who knows whether they harbor greater ambitions behind the scenes?" Li Yue said with a smile.

Subsequently, Li Yue explained: "It is precisely because the Demon race has been too quiet that I find it strange. You and I have dealt with them for so long; we should be extremely clear about their nature. Yet looking at their current conduct, everything seems completely different from before."

"You are right; such excessive calmness is unlike them." After hearing Li Yue's explanation, William Jors immediately displayed a look of confusion and said: "Why is this? Could it be they are preparing some fresh trick? But right now, what new tricks could the Demon race possibly have?"

Upon hearing William Jors' words, a trace of puzzlement inevitably appeared on Li Yue's face.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yue said: "Forget it; regardless of what this matter truly entails, for now, we can only meet soldiers with generals and floodwaters with earth."

Li Yue's words had barely fallen when the sound of hurried footsteps approached.

Immediately afterward, a soldier rushed panic-stricken to Li Yue's front, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Reporting to Lord Chenxi, the task you assigned has been completed."

Upon hearing this soldier's words, Li Yue immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at this soldier, Li Yue then waved his hand and said: "Is that so? Has it truly been finished?" "Yes, Lord Chenxi, it is all completed."

"Quick, take me to see it immediately." After hearing the soldier's words, a trace of excitement instantly appeared on Li Yue's face, and he spoke accordingly. The soldier nodded and began leading the way forward; at this moment, seeing this scene, William Jors immediately asked: "What are you two talking about?"

Upon hearing William Jors' words, Li Yue turned to look at him: "Oh, it is like this; some time ago, did I not order the soldiers to dig tunnels? Now is the time they are finished."

"... Oh, so that is how it is." After hearing this, William Jors nodded. "Then shall I go take a look as well?" "Mm, yes." Li Yue nodded, then said: "Let us go."

Having said this, the three of them departed directly from this place.

Soon, the three of them, Li Yue included, arrived at an open area.

Gazing at this expanse before them, initially there appeared to be nothing suspicious.

After scanning the surroundings, Li Yue saw nothing particularly special and could not help but ask: "Eh? Soldier, you said you dug the place; where exactly did you dig it?"

"Right here in this area, Lord Chenxi; look." Upon hearing Li Yue's question, the soldier hastily replied.

Upon hearing the soldier's words, Li Yue immediately looked in the direction he indicated, seeing that on this patch of ground, judging solely from appearances, one could not detect any abnormality whatsoever.

After looking around once more, Li Yue could not help but furrow his brows, then extended his hand to feel along the ground.

Sure enough, within a short while, he discovered the tunnel entrance.

Upon seeing the tunnel entrance, Li Yue nodded and said: "Mm, very good, quite excellent; the concealment is remarkably effective."

"Then shall we go inside and take a look?" After glancing at the tunnel entrance, William Jors immediately spoke.

Upon hearing William Jors' words, Li Yue thought for a moment, then nodded. "That is a good idea. Let's go."
