Chapter 425 The Demon King Attacks
"Snapped!!"

A loud slap echoed throughout the tent.

After being slapped, Chaoyue's head tilted to one side, and his teeth popped out of his mouth. Unable to withstand the force, they flew to the right rear and hit the ground with a "bang".

"Father! I am guilty, please punish me!!"

After lying on the ground, Chao Yue didn't care about the dizziness in his head. He quickly got up, lay on the ground, crawled to the feet of the Faceless Demon King, and cried out in a hoarse voice:
"It was my son's fault for using the troops improperly! I am unworthy! Please punish me severely!"

With snot and tears, his voice was choked with sobs:

"I am the one who has let down those 100,000 innocent souls! I deserve to die!"

……

Looking at Chao Yue's miserable appearance, the Faceless Demon King had no expression on his face. He just stared at her with an extremely cold voice:
"One hundred thousand troops were wiped out in one day. Chaoyue, considering your contribution in obtaining the Fire Phoenix Egg, I can't bear to punish you for any mistakes you made on weekdays, but this time you must give me an explanation!"

"Father! I am willing to do this. You can punish me in any way you want!"

Chaoyue knelt on the ground, tears streaming from her eyes that made her feel uncomfortable, and a look of despair appeared on her face.

"Humph!"

Seeing him like this, the Demon King didn't know what to say for a moment. He suppressed his anger:

"Tell me how these 100,000 soldiers were slaughtered. Even if they were 100,000 pigs, it's impossible for them to disappear overnight!"

"Father."

After hearing this, Chao Yue raised his head and revealed his pale face. His eyes were dull and his lips moved:

"I don't know what magic the Yong thief used. I saw it clearly. There were twelve people in a team, and each team had a strange formation and used strange weapons. Almost at the first encounter, the same number of big demon soldiers were slaughtered by them. However, the soldiers of my demon clan were extremely brave and no one retreated..."

At this point, Chao Yue's eyes suddenly turned fierce:
"I swear that I will not tell anyone about the news that I will send out troops at the hour of Yin at night. However, the people in Yong State seem to have received the news in advance. After I sent out the troops, they hid in the forest and waited for my army to attack the mountain. There must be something fishy going on!!"

"oh??!"

Hearing his words, the Demon King was shocked, and then he was furious:
"Are you saying that there is a traitor among my demon clan??!!"

"I dare not speak rashly, I hope your Majesty will make the final decision!"

Chao Yue knelt directly on the ground, his head stained with red blood. It seemed that by curling up like this, he could feel less of the tremendous power of the Demon King.

silence.

After hearing his words, the Demon King didn't speak for a long time. He just stood there straight, his featureless face seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time, the Faceless Demon King slowly raised his head:
"I have also seen the strange formation you mentioned. It caused great harm to our demon warriors in the narrow terrain of the mountain."

what?
Chaoyue was stunned, but he didn't look up. He still knocked him to the ground and listened quietly to the order.

"But when we were attacking the city, there was no such force in Xuzhou City. It seems that it is not easy to train soldiers for this formation..."

There was a hint of gloom in the Demon King's voice:
"This formation that can restrain the demon soldiers must not be allowed to remain in this world!"

After saying this, he slowly turned his head towards Wangyou Mountain:

"In that case..."

Chaoyue's heart skipped a beat and she looked up at the Faceless Demon King tremblingly.

Just then I saw the Demon King's murderous face:

"In that case, I will personally lead the troops to wipe out all the Yong soldiers in Wangyou Mountain!"

After these words, no one in the entire tent spoke. Everyone just looked at Chaoyue who was still kneeling on the ground.

"As for you..."

The Demon King looked towards Chao Yue. His featureless face could reveal his gloom and anger:

"When this battle is over, I will settle accounts with you!"

After saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Take him back to his tent. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the camp!"

"Yes!"

After hearing the Demon King's words, everyone started to move.

……

Xuzhou City, inside the general’s tent.

A golden cicada shadow buzzed in the tent.

Lu Yuanzhi drank the tea in his hand calmly, looking at the cicada flying in the sky:
"You said the Demon King wants to go into the mountain himself?"

"That's right!" The golden cicada flew in the air, flapping its wings:

"The Demon King said that he would kill all of Yong Bing's army with that strange formation."

"Oh."

After hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

It seems that the Demon King is about to die.

Lu Yuanzhi also knew that it seemed that his idea was right.

As long as the 100,000-strong army of the Chaoyue Tribe is completely wiped out, the Demon King will definitely pay attention to the 50,000 Mandarin Duck Army in the mountains, and it is very likely that he will personally lead the troops to destroy the 50,000 Mandarin Duck Army.

Now things have come to this, and it is indeed so.

In that case, let’s fight!
But in this case, we must inform Ji Gong and Weiwu Hou in the mountains of the news in advance and let them activate the formation!
To be honest, Lu Yuanzhi had no confidence that with his current strength as a third-grade warrior at the peak of his powers, he could defeat a first-grade demon king.

Although the third grade in each system cannot be generalized, there is still a difference in numbers.

Although there are many fifth-rank warriors who have killed fourth-rank or even third-rank monsters in history, there has never been a third-rank warrior who has killed a first-rank monster...

However, when he thought about the help of the demon god's body and the Confucian and Taoist formation, Lu Yuanzhi gradually felt relieved.

He could feel that with these two things, even if he couldn't win, he would definitely not lose.

After all, the old man, the Imperial Master, has lived much longer than himself, and he would definitely not entrust his life to something that is uncertain.

"I understand."

Lu Yuanzhi spoke calmly:
"You go back first. Tell Chaoyue that I will try this time. If possible, ask him to prepare for the coronation ceremony."

"what??"

Jin Chan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't suppress his ecstasy, "If that's the case, then we'll wait for the Marshal's good news!!"

"Yes, but after it's done, remember your original promise."

Lu Yuanzhi replied indifferently.

"Of course! We will certainly comply!"

The sound of the cicada is cheerful.

……

After seeing Jin Chan leave, Aunt Lengdan's eyes also became serious:
"What are you going to do?"

There were only two people in the tent at that time, so she asked questions without restraint.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't care. With a relaxed smile on his face, he looked at Aunt Leng seriously and said:
"I plan to kill the Demon King."

The voice is extremely soft.

The cold and indifferent aunt's eyes flashed with confusion after hearing the niche text.

"what?"

There was even a hint of distraction in her voice that she herself wasn't aware of.

"Kill the Demon King."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled lightly, with a frightening look on his face that made people's heart palpitate.

"?"

After hearing this clearly, Aunt Lengdan felt a little uneasy. She hesitated and said:

"Aren't you waiting for the Imperial Master?"

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled:
"What are you waiting for? He won't come."

"ah??!"

Aunt Lengdan thought she had heard a very funny joke today. She looked at Lu Yuanzhi in confusion:
"The Imperial Master won't come? Didn't you say last time that he..."

"I was lying to you. I was doing this to stabilize the morale of the troops." Lu Yuanzhi looked at Aunt Leng innocence, but the smile on his face could not be wiped off:

"Otherwise, the defenders of the city are all afraid of the Demon King's attack. How can we fight this battle?"

Aunt Lengdan was so angry that she didn't even know what to say. After a long time, she sighed quietly:
"Are you sure?"

"Have."

Lu Yuanzhi's face was filled with unparalleled fighting spirit:
"Before I went to the border, the Imperial Master called me into the Kewu Division and gave me the treasure."

"What baby."

Aunt Lengdan had a suspicious look on her face.

"Haha, let's keep it a secret for now."

Lu Yuanzhi just smiled faintly, then slowly raised his head:

"After dark, I will leave the city and go to Wangyou Mountain to wait for the Demon King. The affairs of the city will be handed over to you. When I come back, it will be the day to leave the city and counterattack."

"But..." Speaking of this, Lu Yuanzhi paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"If I can't come back, I will continue to defend the city."

Aunt Lengdan was silent for a moment, then she nodded slowly and said:

"Do not worry."

"Ah."

……

That night.

Lu Yuanzhi walked out of the tent and looked at the countless soldiers outside who were still nervous, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Although the war was imminent, he felt no pressure.

He also knew that he could not avoid this battle. If it were his old self, even if Dayong was destroyed, the worst that could happen was that he would escape with his uncle's family. With his abilities, he would definitely be valued even if he defected to the demon clan.

But now it's no longer possible.

He has a bond.

Behind him are not only countless people of Dayong, but also his own family.

Changle...

Thinking of Changle's face, a hint of tenderness flashed across Lu Yuanzhi's face.

And there is Bai Qingying.

The girl should be living comfortably in her own house now.

Ha ha.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and shook his head, putting these thoughts behind him, and the expression on his face returned to calm.

He turned his gaze towards Mount Wangyou.

Faceless Demon King, Wangyou Mountain should be a good place for you to be buried, right?

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and took off directly, slowly flying towards the direction of Wangyou Mountain. Flying in the air, Lu Yuanzhi did not expose himself. His flying speed was not fast, and he avoided the sight of the demon soldiers who attacked the city. In less than half an hour, he landed at the corner of Wangyou Mountain.

Looking up at the Wangyou Mountain that stretches for countless miles, Lu Yuanzhi had a calm expression as he climbed up the mountain step by step.

He didn't move too fast at all. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a shadow.

"Do we count as the first to win this battle?!"

"Well! A hundred thousand demon army! Haha, it's so fun to kill them!!"

"Damn it, I'm exhausted from killing so many people!"

At the mouth of the gourd, the less than 50,000 Yuanyang soldiers were all crowded here. In front of Wu Qianfeng sat several generals, all with pleased looks on their faces.

"General Lu would never have thought that we would be the first to gain the credit in this battle against the demon tribe!"

Wang Guoshun shook his arms with a silly smile on his face.

Wu Qianfeng laughed and gently stroked his beard, with a hint of pride on his face:
"This battle was also thanks to General Lu telling me the news of the enemy's advance. Otherwise, if the demon tribe had suddenly attacked, even if we had not suffered heavy losses, we would never have won so easily."

"Yes! Commander Lu is really as good as a god!"

Hearing this, Wang Guoshun couldn't help but sigh:

"I heard that Lu Shuai is about my age. You really can't compare yourself to others!"

"Haha, you're pretty good too."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Because this voice is familiar yet strange.

All the generals had achieved some accomplishments, especially Wang Guoshun, whose combat power was close to the fifth rank. He immediately felt the hairs on his body stand up.

"who?!!!"

Wang Guoshun directly picked up the long knife beside him and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a young figure standing in the tent with a charming smile on his face.

When Wang Guoshun saw this man, he was about to draw his knife to kill him, but suddenly he felt a slap on the back of his head.

"Snapped!"

The slap was extremely loud, and then he heard the commander-in-chief behind him, Lord Wu Qianfeng, fall to his knees with a thump.

"Meet Master Lu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the people in the tent didn't react for a while.

Fortunately, Wang Guoshun was not a fool. He knelt on the ground with a bang.
"Master Lu!!"

"Meet Master Lu!!"

Everyone knelt down.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the generals kneeling in an orderly manner with a smile on his face:

"Get up."

"Thank you, Lu Shuai!"

Everyone stood up. Wang Guoshun, who was so excited just now, now seemed extremely reserved. He looked up at Lu Yuanzhi from time to time, but when he met Lu Yuanzhi's gaze, he quickly lowered his head and looked at the ants on the ground involuntarily.

"I wonder what explanation Marshal Lu has for entering the camp at this time?"

Wu Qianfeng reacted the fastest. He slowly came up to Lu Yuanzhi and asked respectfully.

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Wu Qianfeng with an appreciative smile on his face: "You did well in this battle. It's worth my effort to train you."

"It's all thanks to Marshal Lu!"

Wu Qianfeng was extremely respectful.

"Grumpy."

Lu Yuanzhi laughed and scolded him:
"It's your credit, so it's your credit. Would I compete with you for the attack?"

After saying this, his face became serious and he said in a low voice:

"But the next moment is the most important. According to the news I have received, the Faceless Demon King will personally lead his army to attack Wangyou Mountain. You pass the order down, everyone should be on guard for the next two days. If you find anything unusual, you must report it to me."

"Yes!"

Hearing the words 'Faceless Demon Emperor', everyone's heart sank.

The pressure of these four words is indeed too great for them.

"I will be in the mountains these days, and any rumors will not escape my ears. If there is any unusual sign, I will rush over as soon as possible, so you don't have to feel any pressure."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was very light, but after hearing his words, everyone felt relieved.

"Yes!"

All the generals saluted in unison.
