Chapter 1569: No Battle Has Begun

The Demon God continued, "Precisely for this reason, I ordered you to halt the offensive first and wait and see. After a period of time, when they lower their guard, that will be our moment to strike. Do you understand?"

Your subordinate understands.

Hearing the generals' reply, a smile of triumph instantly appeared on the Demon God's face.

He spoke: "Since you understand, then go arrange things immediately now. Remember, for now, respond to all changes with no change. Wait for the time, then make plans."

Understood, my lord Demon God!

After hearing the Demon God's words, the many generals hurriedly responded respectfully.

Inside the Dark City.

Li Yue and the others did not know that the demons inside the Dark City currently had no intention of attacking.

There was not even the slightest movement.

After waiting for half a day, finally some soldiers could no longer restrain their curiosity and began to ask.

"Hey? What is going on? Didn't Lord Chenxi say the demons might attack? Why has so much time passed? The demons haven't made the slightest move; did they change their minds and give up the attack!?"

The moment this soldier's words fell, someone immediately replied: "Who knows about this matter? But regardless, if they aren't attacking, that's a good thing."

Yes, now we can finally rest a bit; we don't have to be so tired. Continuing like this is torture for us!"

Hearing the crowd's murmurs, Li Yue and the others also felt some confusion in their hearts, not knowing what the demons meant by this.

At this moment, Lord William Jores of the Killing God, who was patrolling past, happened to come from the side. He took a step, arrived before Li Yue, and said to Li Yue: "Lord Chenxi, why has so much time passed and those demons still haven't taken action!?"

"I don't know either. But according to their previous actions, they should act very soon. Now I am also curious why there has been no movement for such a long time?"

After hearing Li Yue's words, Lord William Jores's expression also showed confusion.

In his heart, he also had doubts, but he did not think much more of it and continued speaking: "In that case, you wait here for news first; I will take people out to take a look?"

"No, that is far too dangerous," Li Yue said.

"But if we do nothing now, waiting like this, there is absolutely no way forward," Lord William Jores of the Killing God spoke.

Li Yue heard this and also felt it made sense, so he nodded.

"Alright, go then. But you must be careful," Li Yue added a special reminder at the end.

"Rest assured, I know what to do," Lord William Jores said.

After Lord William Jores's figure left, Li Yue spoke to the people whispering nearby: "Alright, stop talking idle words here; be cautious and watch the surroundings."

After hearing Li Yue's orders, the crowd dared not say anything more, each one restraining the expressions on their faces.

Seeing the crowd's appearance, Li Yue could not help but give a bitter smile in his heart.

Regardless, the Dark City is still in a defensive phase; everything must be handled with extreme caution; absolutely no carelessness is allowed.

At this time, Lord William Jores of the Killing God had already led people to the position guarded by the demons.

They looked around; at this moment, the demons had no movement at all, merely conducting routine patrols.

This made their hearts even more confused.

They also did not know what scheme the demons were actually hatching.

Watching the demons' actions, Lord William Jores of the Killing God could not help but speak: "These bastards, they aren't attacking? Do they still have some conspiracy!?"

Hearing Lord William Jores of the Killing God's question, the crowd also shook their heads, indicating they were unclear; they also did not know what medicine the demons were selling in their gourd.

Just then, suddenly, a figure flew in from the distance, appearing directly in their vision; it was a demon messenger.

"The Demon God has issued an order: each perform their duties; no offensive actions are permitted. Guard your respective positions."

After this messenger finished speaking to them, he paid no further attention to the crowd, turned around, and walked toward another direction.

After hearing these words, Lord William Jores of the Killing God gave a signal to the people beside him.

"Let's go."

Lord William Jores of the Killing God spoke.

After Lord William Jores of the Killing God's words fell, the few soldiers beside him also began to sneak away from here.

In a short while, Lord William Jores of the Killing God led people back to the place where Li Yue was.

Seeing Lord William Jores return, Li Yue immediately asked: "How is it? Did the demons make any unusual moves?"

Lord William Jores shook his head afterward.

"Very strange; there was not the slightest abnormality. In fact, just now a demon messenger ordered those demon soldiers on guard to hold their positions firmly and not act rashly."

After hearing Lord William Jores's words, Li Yue's brows could not help but furrow.

The demons' reaction is truly baffling; what exactly is going on with these demons?

"Are there any other clues!?" Li Yue asked.

Hearing Li Yue's inquiry, Lord William Jores shook his head, indicating there were no new discoveries.

After hearing his words, Li Yue also sighed.

"Strange, truly too strange," Li Yue muttered to himself.

Lord William Jores of the Killing God glanced around, then asked: "By the way, Lord Chenxi, should everyone continue to stay here now?"

Hearing this, Li Yue looked around at the crowd, then spoke: "Since the demons haven't come, let everyone rest a bit. However, the necessary vigilance cannot be dropped; we must remain alert at all times to avoid accidents later."

After hearing Li Yue's words, the others also nodded, agreeing with Li Yue's view. "Yes, my lord Lord Chenxi."

Li Yue raised his right hand, waved it, and then ordered everyone to perform their respective duties.

As for him, he decided to leave first to investigate the demons' true situation.

Li Yue had just wanted to move when Lord William Jores saw him and asked: "Lord Chenxi, where are you planning to go?"

Hearing this question, Li Yue did not hide anything and spoke directly: "I plan to investigate the demons' movements! I feel the opponent seems more complex than I thought."

"Then what do you plan to do?" Lord William Jores of the Killing God asked.
