C464 Suspicion
After the Devil Clan withdrew their troops, the humans were confused.
This was because the Devil Clan did not leave. Instead, they stationed their troops a few hundred meters away. Both sides could see them.
Compared to the confused humans, the Devil Clan was much more relaxed.
The entire Devil Clan had spread the plan. The content of the plan was not to fight, but to make the humans retreat on their own.
Furthermore, they were on the side of the strong, so there was almost no burden in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, even the Devil Clan could easily hold banquets. At night, laughter and laughter could be heard, and the lights were brightly lit.
On the human side, it was completely different. They were wondering what kind of scheme the Devil Clan had. They were constantly worrying about whether they would suddenly launch an attack or not. They couldn't even sleep well.
They couldn't figure out why the Devil Clan would suddenly hold a banquet and make it so happy.
For a moment, there were many different opinions. Some said that the Devil Clan wanted to use the false pretense of the banquet to deceive them. When they were relaxed, they suddenly sent troops to attack them.
Some were even more unreliable. They said that it was because of the arrival of the traditional festival of the Devil Clan. That was why they withdrew their troops and held a grand banquet.
But no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't get a unified answer.
They couldn't let everyone celebrate together with the Devil Clan. Helpless, Yu Ba gave the order to only let some people stand guard while the others rest.
In the midst of doubt and suspicion, the night passed just like that.
Early the next morning, Yu Ba gathered the leaders of all the major powers and held a meeting.
Looking from the top of the city wall, those Devil Clan were still stationed there. They didn't seem to be retreating at all, nor did they show any signs of continuing to organize and attack the city.
Yu Ba looked at the leaders with a gloomy expression. "Everyone, the reason why we gathered everyone... I think you all know very well... What should we do next? How can we return to Oracle Continent safely?"
A leader immediately spoke. His body was shining with jewels. It was Merlin.
He held the diamond scepter in his hand, his expression very relaxed.
"I think, no matter what the Devil Clan thinks, we should retreat immediately. Our main goal is to return to Oracle Continent. I think it's a good thing that these Devil Clan won't attack us. There's no need to worry about it. "
Merlin's words made a lot of sense, and the leaders of a few small forces immediately agreed.
But there was also a different opinion, and it was the First Prince.
The First Prince shook his head and said, "I don't think this matter is that simple. Everyone knows that... The Devil Clan was an extremely bloodthirsty race. If they had the ability to slaughter cities... They would definitely kill us without any hesitation. In other words, since they didn't attack us, they must be afraid of our strength. Or afraid of something... "
After saying this, the Second Prince suddenly interrupted, "What do you mean? Could it be that we should not leave this place but stay in the city?"
The First Prince looked at the Second Prince. "That is exactly what I meant."
The Second Prince suddenly burst into laughter. "You must be out of your mind! Our biggest mission is to leave this place. Hurry up and return to Oracle Continent to save the stranded Oracle Continent. Instead of staying in the city leisurely! Staying in the city is just a slow suicide. Why do you have such a stupid idea? "
The First Prince was unmoved by the Second Prince's provocation. He said," I also know that our first priority is to return to Oracle Continent, but I suspect that there might be a big secret in the city. This is the main reason why the Devil Clan is afraid of us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any reason to withdraw their troops. "
The First Prince looked at Yu Ba and said," Leader of the Butcher Knife Sect, you are basically the strongest amongst all of us here. In your opinion, is it necessary for the Devil Clan to withdraw their troops? Furthermore, it was obvious that we were at an overwhelming disadvantage at that time. "
Yu Badao said, "To be honest, there is no need for the Devil Clan to withdraw their troops. Personally, I am not afraid of those Devil Generals. No matter if there are two or three of them, I can easily deal with them. The problem lies with you all. If they kill all of you and gather all their forces to deal with me... At that time, even I will be powerless... In the end, I won't be able to escape the fate of being killed. "
Although these words were unpleasant to hear, everyone present agreed.
Because in the battle just now, they had indeed witnessed Yu Ba's strength. Ordinary human experts were already somewhat forced to face a Devil General, let alone some human experts who were even slaughtered by a Devil General.
For example, in the previous battle, Yu Ba had resisted two Devil Generals and many experts of Devil Clan by himself.0
An expert like him indeed had the right to say those words.
The battlefield fell silent. The question returned to the beginning. Why did the Devil Clan choose to retreat from the battlefield so quickly when the situation was good for them?
Yu Ba said to the First Prince, "You mean to say that we are occupying this city, which is the reason why the Devil Clan is afraid of us? So we can't leave this place easily?"
The First Prince nodded. "That is exactly what I mean. I'm afraid that after we leave this city, the Devil Clan will occupy this city. Once they have reinforcements, they will send troops to us. At that time, we will have enemies in front of us, and there will be pursuers behind us. We will be in a desperate situation! "
When the crowd thought of the scene described by the First Prince, they felt a chill run down their spines.
Indeed, if that really happened, the Human Alliance would have no chance of leaving alive. They would all die!
Don't tell me... we should not leave the city, but stay quietly for a while?
Such thoughts were like bamboo shoots exploding within the human army.
At this moment, someone suddenly stood up: "I think this is the wrong choice."
This person was one of the First Prince's faction.
How could the First Prince's faction reject the First Prince's proposal?
This caused many people to feel puzzled.
And the person standing was precisely Yu Yue.
The First Prince wasn't surprised, he just asked, "Why?"
"Because I know the real reason why Devil Clan retreated." Yu Yue said calmly.
"What!"
"How is this possible?!"
Immediately, many human experts stood up, their faces filled with shock.
This was a problem that the human powerhouses thought about for an entire night without any results. Why did an unknown person suddenly stand up and say the real reason?
Yu Ba raised his eyebrows with interest. He was also very surprised by his nephew's behavior. "Oh? You know the reason. Tell me."
Yu Yue glanced at everyone present and said, "What the two of you said just now was correct. The reason why Devil Clan withdrew their troops was because they were afraid of us. That's why they didn't attack."
This sentence stunned the First Prince. "If that's the case, why did you deny my plan?"
"Please allow me to slowly explain..."
