Huang Yueli cupped her hands in greeting and replied humbly, “Divine Lieutenant has overpraised me. It’s just a part of This Subordinate’s job!”
Seeing her with such capability and yet not claiming credit for herself, Li Yukun was deeply appreciative of her. So he complimented her.
Huang Yueli modestly replied and turned back to a corner in the tent, next to Xia Yunxi.
Surveying the surroundings, everyone’s expression in the tent was rather grave.
Apparently, before she rushed over, some of them had already talked about the military information in the tent. The situation… seemed a little unwise.
Huang Yueli leaned closer to Xia Yunxi and asked in a whispered tone, “Yunxi, what’s going on? Haven’t we already warded off the demon tribe’s attack? Why does Divine Lieutenant look so worried?”
Xia Yunxi turned around and saw that no one was paying attention to the both of them, then whispered back, “This is something that you’re not aware of. This time, the one responsible for the attack on the campsite is actually a Sky Devil!”
“Sky Devil??” Huang Yueli almost screamed out in surprise. Luckily, she managed to cover her mouth in time. “The news that we eavesdropped previously, didn’t they say that Sky Devil called Ruize was cultivating in seclusion? Has he successfully advanced into Sky Devil end-phase already?”
Xia Yunxi shook her head. “The Sky Devil leading the demon tribe today should be different from the one who we heard of! The Sky Devil today is only in the early-phase. It’s exactly so which is why Divine Lieutenant could rely on his ingenious commands to lead the army through the danger and ward of the demon army. If the Sky Devil end-phase were to come personally, do you think that we’d still be alive by now?”
Hearing that, Huang Yeuli nodded her head as she delved into her thoughts.
This didn’t sound wrong at all. If the Sky Devil end-phase really came, then their entire campsite would be turned topsy turvy!
There wouldn’t be many survivors by now.
Huang Yueli thought about it and said, “In this case, our campsite had experienced a tough battle today!”
Xia Yunxi nodded and replied, “Other than our two teams, the other teams had suffered heavy casualties.”
Huang Yueli’s brows creased slightly. Before she could anything else, she heard Li Yukun, who was seated in the most central position, coughing slightly.
“Everyone, all of you have experienced today’s battle so you should be aware of the current situation. Although the demon army had temporarily retreated, it wouldn’t take a few days before they attack us again!”
“Today our campsite has suffered serious casualties. If the enemy were to attack us once more, it would be hard for us to ward them off!”
“My officers, do any of you have any suggestions?”
Li Yukun looked at the few officers standing or sitting in front of the tent and asked for their opinions.
Of course, the main targets of his query were those eight commanders who were seated.
But the eight commanders all decided to keep their silence. The main tent’s atmosphere came to a standstill.
Huang Yueli might have come to this place for the first time and didn’t know the actual situation of this stronghold. But seeing the current scenario, she guessed that their current predicament should be terrible.
Li Yukun took a deep breath upon seeing them like this. “Officers, don’t you have any suggestions?”
Commander Hu showed a hesitant look and he wanted to speak up but did not do so on second thought. “Divine Lieutenant, This Subordinate has some ideas, but I wonder if I’m thinking too much…”
“No matter, just speak your mind! Even if you’re wrong, it doesn’t matter!” Li Yukun hurriedly said.
