Chapter 275 Zhong Yue's Scheme

The moment Guan Mou appeared along with the three commanders, Yao Xun's expression changed drastically, and he immediately retreated rapidly.

"General Yao Xun, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm not the only one here."

Ye Ru flew into the air, his smile full of sarcasm:

"General Guan, I'm entrusting this to the four of you."

"rest assured."

Guan Mou and his three companions surrounded Yao Xun from both sides, their faces showing hostility.

"To gang up on the few is not the act of a hero. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

With a fierce slash of his demonic blade, Yao Xun turned and tried to retreat.

"General Yao Xun, all our provisions have been burned by these cunning humans!"

At this moment, a demon from behind shouted loudly, his voice shrill and mournful, accompanied by the clash of weapons and the sound of fire, causing Yao Xun's face to darken completely:

"Since you are so ruthless, then don't blame me!"

The next moment, Yao Xun's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he stomped his foot on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble. Then, hair began to grow all over his body, and he finally transformed into a fierce tiger.

"Be careful, this is his true form."

"General Guan, are the provisions prepared over there?"

Ye Ru said in a low voice.

"Yes, everything is arranged neatly, and the kerosene is ready."

Guan Mou nodded, his face solemn, but he didn't know what the former wanted to do.

"Okay, remember what we agreed on at the beginning."

A look of satisfaction flashed across Ye Ru's eyes. He flapped his wings slightly, then suddenly his wings shook violently, and he soared into the sky. A clear shout echoed throughout the heavens:

"Gentlemen, let's begin."

"Yes!"

"kill!"

At this moment, countless low shouts echoed across the valley, and stones and arrows were fired down upon the demon soldiers and civilians from above.

Because wild beasts fear fire, this fear extended to these demon soldiers and demon civilians. Instantly, countless shrill cries echoed throughout the valley, making the demon's face even more grim. With a boom, he blasted towards Guan Mou and the others.

The demon soldiers and civilians behind them clashed with the human warriors. Swords flashed and blood splattered everywhere. Because the demon soldiers and civilians were unaware that they had been ambushed, they panicked and abandoned their supplies, rushing towards the exit of the narrow passage.

boom!

At this moment, Yao Xun and Guan Mou's group of four clashed together. Their demonic power and talent collided, and an extremely powerful energy suddenly burst out in all directions. Yao Xun tried to escape towards the exit, but each time he was blocked by Guan Mou's group of four. This made his eyes even more ferocious. He knew that if he could not escape, the entire garrison would probably starve to death.

"Haha, Yao Xun, I was defeated by you last time, but today I will definitely get my revenge!"

Guan Mou held a gun in one hand, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Since ancient times, humans and demons have been irreconcilable enemies, especially in the matter of victory or defeat for military generals.

"You four are too green for yourselves!"

Yao Xun roared, his voice hoarse and filled with murderous intent.

"General Guan, that's enough."

Ye Ru flew back and made a gesture to Guan Mou and the others. The latter looked at Yao Xun with an uncertain expression, but finally gritted his teeth, nodded, and the four of them clashed with Yao Xun again.

boom!

At this moment, Guan Mou and his three companions pretended to be outmatched, dodged Yao Xun's attack, and fled in all directions. Seeing the opportunity, Yao Xun accelerated again, ignoring the demon soldiers and civilians, and fled directly into the distance.

Seeing this, Guan Mou and his three companions, though somewhat unwilling, still rushed towards the grain and fodder.

In just a short while, all those demon soldiers and demon civilians were slaughtered by the four Hanlin scholars.

"Phew, let's check if any of our side has been injured?"

The battle gradually subsided. Ye Ru stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the fallen demon corpse, then glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and said.

"It's alright, this way, we can..."

"Guan Mou, Xu Cang, you four, as scholars, were actually no match for a demon king! This is a disgrace to our army's prestige! What is your punishment?"

Before Guan Mou could finish speaking, Ye Ru turned his head and shouted sharply.

"Commander Ye!"

"Guards, take him away!"

Ye Ru waved his hand, not even looking at Guan Mou and the others. Some soldiers also came over and looked at Ye Ru.

"Commander Ye, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Besides, we have already wiped out the entire enemy force, leaving only one Yao Xun. Perhaps this move is somewhat inappropriate?"

Guo Ku also walked over, looking at Ye Ru with a puzzled expression. He was also somewhat confused as to why Ye Ru would do such a thing.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. Guan Mou, Xu Cang, the four of you working together are not even as good as a demon king. If this gets out, what will become of our military prestige? Military orders are like mountains. Are you going to disobey us?”

Ye Ru took out the military order and then shouted sternly:

"Take it down."

"Yes!"

"You! You brat!"

Guan Mou and the others finally lost their temper and started cursing loudly.

"Clean up the mess and withdraw the troops!"

Ye Ru seemed not to hear. After sorting out the food and weapons with everyone, he returned to camp. After they left, one of the demon corpses suddenly trembled, then quickly got up and fled towards the narrow passage.

After his defeat, Yao Xun returned to the demon army camp, his face extremely grim.

"General Yao Xun, why are you the only one who has returned?"

At this moment, a sorcerer who looked like a human frowned and said.

"Damn it, we've fallen for the humans' treacherous scheme! I'm furious! Mr. Zhong, muster my troops! I'm going to go and reclaim those supplies!"

Yao Xun slammed his hand on the table and shouted sternly.

"A treacherous plot? What's going on?"

Zhong Yuemou licked his lips, a thoughtful look on his face, and said.

After Yao Xun explained the whole story to the sorcerer, the latter produced a secret order:

"Is this a coincidence? First you fell into the trap at Yixiantian, and then the human race put the grain into Wenggu. Something seems amiss."

Zhong Yuemou murmured.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Xun raised an eyebrow and said.

"The timing of these two events is too coincidental. I'm worried that the other side has also used a scheme within a scheme."

"Report! A surviving demon soldier has returned from the narrow passage and says he has important news to report."

"Quick pass."

Zhong Yuemou slammed the scroll in his hand shut and quickly waved his hand.

How did you escape back?

Yao Xun looked at the man and asked in confusion.

"General, it seems there has been some infighting among the humans. The human commander has had all four generals who besieged you executed by military law."

The demon soldier said.

"He really is a young child."

Yao Xun sneered and looked at Zhong Yuemou.

Do they know you're still alive?

Zhong Yuemou looked at the demon soldier and said.

"Absolutely not."

The demon soldier knelt down and said.

"It doesn't seem to be a coincidence. In that case, since they damaged our supplies, we can also go to Wenggu and secretly ambush their supplies..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuemou smiled and said.
