In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 624 Men

The three demons in the middle stage of the Demon Sect not far away exchanged glances with each other, then gathered around and clasped their fists towards Lu Yuanyi.

The skinny old man among them was the first to speak: "I am Wen Qizi, one of the three current commanders of the Demon Flame Army. Nice to meet you, Commander-in-Chief."

After Wen Qizi, the other red-armored men and the demon women also saluted with their fists clasped.

One of them was named Chihuo and the other called herself Madam Menghua, and they both served as commanders.

Following the surrender of these three, the remaining demon generals also bowed solemnly and clasped their fists together:

"Meet the Commander-in-Chief!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the crowd calmly, and he said in a deep voice: "No need for formalities, this commander has no requirements, you can just continue to perform your duties in the future."

After saying that, Lu Yuan turned his gaze towards the three commanders and said, "I'm a little tired and would like to be alone for a while. Is there a quiet room here?"

When the three heard this, they all showed a look of surprise on their faces, as if they had something to hide.

But soon the skinny old man came to his senses and said, "The commander-in-chief has a special quiet room. I will lead the way."

After saying that, Wen Qizi led the way and walked towards a passage on the left side of the hall.

After Lu Yuan and Wen Qizi left, the big man Chihuo raised his hands and folded them across his chest, saying coldly to the demon generals, "Just wait patiently."

Then he and Madam Menghua each sat cross-legged on the jade bed and closed their eyes to rest.

After going around seven or eight floors, Wen Qizi and Lu Yuan finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary stone chamber.

On the upper side of the door, there is a pattern surrounded by a ball of magic fire.

Lu Yuan looked at the pattern on the door and felt it was somewhat familiar. Then he calmly flipped his hand and took out his command token.

Sure enough, the pattern on the token was exactly the same.

With a slight shake of the token, the stone door opened.

The furnishings inside were extremely simple, consisting of a stone table, a stone chair, and a jade bed. Mysterious runes were engraved on the walls, shimmering faintly.

"Friend Wen, please come in and talk." Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully at Wen Qizi.

"Yes." Wen Qizi also smiled.

"Just now I saw that you seemed to have something to say, but were a little hesitant. Can you speak now?" After Lu Yuan sat down, he motioned Wen Qizi to sit down as well, and then asked lightly.

"The commander-in-chief is indeed a man of great insight. I wonder if he has brought the time for the expedition?" Wen Qizi suddenly asked this after complimenting him.

Expedition?

Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked enlightened.

He was indeed informed of the time of the expedition when he was in the Law Hall, but after a battle with the short and fat demon, he had been secretly thinking about the possible backers behind this person, so he forgot to announce it to everyone.

"This is Lu's negligence. I can tell you now that the Demon Flame Army will be dispatched to the northwest of Lihuo City in two days. Their mission is to contain the Insect Sea on the periphery and they have to hold out for at least three days. As for the specific location, you can see for yourself." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he handed over a jade slip.

"So fast, you still have to hold on for at least three days!" Wen Qizi frowned after hearing this, but still took the jade slip.

"What? Are you having trouble?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and then reminded, "Two Holy Ancestors are personally leading the expedition this time. If anyone dares to pretend to obey and shirk their responsibilities, don't blame me for being merciless."

"I dare not. In fact, the military's material allocation and battle formation arrangement have already been completed. We are just waiting for the order to go to war. We just didn't expect it to be so soon." Wen Qizi saw Lu Yuan's bad tone and hurriedly explained with a changed expression.

"That's better." Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his expression slightly relaxed.

He didn't want to attract the attention of the Demon Saint because of his men's delay.

"Commander, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back and prepare." Wen Qizi said.

"Don't be in a hurry. It just so happens that I don't know much about the military. Can you introduce it to me?" Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop him.

"Since the commander has given the order, I will naturally tell the truth." Upon hearing Lu Yuan say this, Wen Qizi was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat back down.

In the following time, Lu Yuan learned the general situation from this person.

The army of guards in the city is divided into two types, distinguished by the words "heaven" and "earth".

The Demonic Flame Army led by Lu Yuan belongs to the "Earth" level, and its commander is usually a powerful cultivator of the late Demon Sect.

There are three commanders who are responsible for coordinating the entire legion's dispatch and deployment.

The entire legion has hundreds of thousands of demons in total, which are divided into dozens of battalions. They are commanded and managed by the god-general-level demons in the hall outside, and cooperate with all the orders of the three commanders.

In addition to these people, under the God Generals, there are nearly 10,000 Nascent Soul-level Demon Guards serving as team leaders and so on...

After Lu Yuan digested this information, he asked the most crucial question.

"What do I, the commander-in-chief, need to do?"

Wen Qizi replied respectfully, "The Grand Commander is in charge of the decision-making. You only need to decide whether we should advance, hold our ground, or retreat based on the situation."

He paused and added, "Of course, in the battle against the borers, if we encounter high-level borers, it will naturally be you, the commander-in-chief, who will deal with them."

"High-level borers, isn't this something that only the Demon Lord can deal with?"

Wen Qizi said solemnly, "That's true. That's why we usually send the 'Heaven' class troops to deal with any news of high-level borers.

After all, they are elite troops. Although they number only tens of thousands, they are led by a Demon Lord senior. They have cultivators at the level of Demon Sect God Generals, which is several times more than legions like our Demon Flame Army. Moreover, the weakest among them is at least a Nascent Soul level Demon Guard.

"But you don't have to worry, Commander. High-level borers usually hide within Lihuo City. We are only responsible for containing them from the outside. The probability of encountering high-level borers is almost zero."

"What if we meet each other?" Lu Yuan asked coldly.

"If you really encounter one, you can only fight to the death. Or you can order a retreat. After all, high-level borers have the ability to teleport. Even if we trap them with a formation, they are beyond our ability to deal with."

"Of course, if you do this, you will definitely face accountability from the city's top leaders afterwards." Wen Qizi said this, carefully glancing at Lu Yuan's expression.

"I'm being held accountable, but what about you?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked back when he saw Wen Qizi's expression.

"You are the commander-in-chief, we are just following your orders. It is not our responsibility to be held responsible." Wen Qizi said this with an awkward smile.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment.
