Chapter 1575: The Relaxed Crowd

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.

During this period, the Demon Clan remained almost exactly the same, showing no sign of launching an attack whatsoever.

Gradually, some people had grown accustomed to such days and stopped paying attention to the situation here, while those soldiers also gradually relaxed their guard.

Not only that, but even the Lord of the Killing God and Lord Feifeng began to relax their vigilance against the Demon Clan; after all, since the enemy had not continued to launch surprise attacks here, they were naturally happy to have a break and no longer needed to monitor the enemy's movements.

This morning.

Li Yue, as usual, began patrolling various locations.

But he did not expect to see something that made him very unhappy.

For instance, while on patrol, Li Yue found several soldiers actually hiding in a corner drinking alcohol.

One of them tossed a peanut into his mouth and said with a grin: "It's not me saying this, but I really don't understand why Lord Chenxi is so nervous; what exactly is the point?"

"Yes, I think the Demon Clan simply won't attack. If they were going to attack, they would have attacked long ago; how could they wait until now!"

Another soldier chimed in to agree.

Hearing these two's words, Li Yue was so angry he almost slapped them both to death right then and there.

However, he did not rush to reveal himself immediately; instead, he stood nearby and continued listening, wanting to know what exactly these guys still had to say.

He saw one soldier take a sip of wine and then say again: "To speak frankly, our Lord Chenxi is truly sick; he actually requires us to check the surroundings at regular intervals and only rest after confirming safety. Our people haven't had a single night's rest; I really don't understand what Lord Chenxi means by this."

Hearing this remark, Li Yue could not help but frown.

He never expected this matter to be like this.

Another person continued: "But there's nothing we can do; who asked us to be soldiers under his command? Obeying orders is a normal thing."

Sigh, this kind of work is simply too tiring.

Exactly, exactly!

These two guys complained while drinking.

Hearing their words, Li Yue immediately felt dissatisfied; his face darkened, and he said coldly: "Two lords, what are you two muttering about!"

Hearing Li Yue's voice, they were startled and quickly put away their wine cups, a look of embarrassment appearing on their faces.

Uh, Lord Chenxi, nothing...

The two soldiers explained awkwardly.

Li Yue snorted, then said: "I just heard you two speaking ill of me behind my back."

Hearing Li Yue's threatening words, the two soldiers' faces immediately changed; they instantly dropped to their knees with a thud and repeatedly pleaded their innocence.

My lord, spare our lives! Your subordinate did not intend to slander you!

My lord, please do not misunderstand; we were just joking just now!

My lord, please do not take it to heart.
