Chapter 1603: Truce

Although he did not know exactly how Li Yue's physical condition was, he could be certain of one thing: the injuries Li Yue had suffered were absolutely severe, absolutely not ordinary injuries.

"Very well, I understand," the Lord of the Killing God said.

Hearing these words, the witch beside him finally felt relieved, then took a step and slowly departed.

After all the witches had left, the Lord of the Killing God sighed, then turned and left.

He did not wish for Li Yue to risk going into battle just yet.

If even he died, then failure would be officially declared from that point on.

At this very moment, within the Demon Army camp.

The Demon God's condition was no better than Li Yue's.

His face was extremely pale, his lips covered in blood, making him appear very weak.

Sitting opposite him was a Demon General.

The Demon God pressed a handkerchief to his lips and coughed lightly: "What is the situation with the soldiers below!?"

Hearing the Demon God's inquiry, a Demon General below spoke respectfully: "Your Highness the Demon God, the soldiers are fighting hard and have made good progress, but the losses are somewhat severe. However, I believe the losses of those in Dark City are even greater. As long as we are given enough time, we will absolutely be able to completely annihilate the enemy."

"One-third of Dark City is already in our hands. The remaining two-thirds are within reach."

Hearing the Demon General's words, the Demon God nodded, then said: "Hmm, you have worked hard. But remember, regarding my current injured condition, absolutely no one else besides the two of us must know. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Hearing the Demon God's warning, the Demon General felt a surge of nervousness, quickly lowered his head, and said respectfully: "I understand, my lord. Please rest assured; I will absolutely not let anyone else know about your current situation."

Hearing the Demon General's words, the Demon God nodded, then said: "Hmm, that is good."

Having said this, the Demon God seemed to think of something else and continued to ask: "By the way, how many people remain in Dark City now? What is their situation!?"

Hearing the Demon God's words, the Demon General could not help but show a hint of hesitation.

Seeing this, the Demon God frowned and said: "What is wrong? Is there some problem involved?"

Hearing the Demon God ask this, the Demon General dared not conceal anything and immediately told the Demon God the information he knew.

"It is like this, my lord the Demon God. The battle has just ended, and the enemy is extremely cautious. It is very difficult for us to investigate their situation; I am afraid it will require some time!"

Hearing the Demon General's words, the Demon God nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then said: "Very well. In this situation, it is not appropriate to rush. Since that is the case, let us wait until this matter concludes, then dispatch elite scouts to Dark City to ensure all intelligence within Dark City is collected completely!"

"Additionally, order everyone capable of moving to mobilize and surround the entire Dark City for me. Not even a fly must be allowed to escape! Although the overall situation is favorable to us, if the enemy were to escape while we are lax, that would be troublesome."

"Yes!"

Hearing the Demon God's order, the Demon General did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.

Then, the Demon General prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, the Demon God nearby suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard you killed one of their lords!?"

"Hmm, yes, my lord." Hearing the Demon God's words, the Demon General nodded and then spoke.

"That is correct, but correspondingly, we also lost many soldiers and generals."

Hearing the Demon General's words, the Demon God nodded slightly, then said: "Very well, go attend to your duties. I have this matter under control."

"Yes." Hearing the Demon God speak thus, the Demon General agreed, then turned and left the room.

After this Demon General left the room, the Demon God's face instantly turned extremely cold, and he snorted: "Hmph! I truly did not expect Li Yue to injure me so severely. If this situation continues, I fear this fellow will sooner or later become a major threat to our Demon Clan!"

"Damn it, is there no good method to eliminate him?" the Demon God could not help but say...

However, another round of continuous coughing followed. At this moment, he truly had no choice and could only temporarily set this matter aside.

Then, he closed his eyes to rest and regain his spirit.

Thus, the Demon Clan and Lord Chenxi's army of Dark City unconsciously reached a certain period of truce.

However, although this was the case, precautions should still be taken where necessary.

Thus, four or five days passed.

During this time, Li Yue's injuries gradually healed, but he could not act as recklessly as before.

Because some of the wounds on his body had penetrated deep into his bones; to fully recover would still require some effort.

However, Li Yue was not worried now. According to his body's recovery ability, as long as given enough time, it was not a difficult matter.

On this day, he slowly rose from the bed.

The soldier responsible for caring for him saw this and quickly said: "My lord Lord Chenxi, what are you doing!?"

Li Yue said: "I am getting up to walk around."

"But..." the soldier responsible for caring for Li Yue said: "My lord Lord Chenxi, your body has not yet fully healed these past few days; it is not suitable for activity. Please remain in the room to rest and do not run around carelessly."

"It is fine; my body is almost well." Li Yue shook his head and said.

"This..." Hearing Li Yue insist so, this soldier could not help but feel somewhat helpless, but he dared not disobey Li Yue's will, so he could only say: "Very well, since that is the case, my lord Lord Chenxi, I will accompany you to take a walk."

Hearing this soldier speak thus, Li Yue nodded slightly.

Then, the two walked out of the room and headed outside.

As Li Yue walked, he asked: "Where are the soldiers buried?"

Hearing this, the soldier quickly replied: "Reporting to my lord Lord Chenxi, the bodies of our fallen comrades are buried around the rear mountain." "Oh? Is that so?" Hearing the soldier's words, Li Yue nodded, then turned and said: "Then let us go there."
