Darryl was shocked and furious to see the South Cloud soldiers fall, one after another. He shouted in a rage,
“Everyone, don’t panic! Resist with all your strength.”
Darryl went right into the battlefield to help the South Cloud army. While he went all out to kill the enemies, Darryl
continued to shout commands and prepared to deploy other formations to hinder the North Moana Army.
However, Yang Jian did not give Darryl a chance to rework his formation at all. Within a few minutes, Yang Jian had
led his men to the foot of the city gate.
“Withdraw!”
When he realized that more South Cloud soldiers had fallen in pools of blood, Darryl knew that Lilydale City was
gone. He yelled, “Hurry! Protect Her Majesty! Retreat and evacuate Lilydale City.”
After he said that, he managed to deflect several enemies in front of him. Then, he flew upward and returned to
the top of the city gate.
Darryl did not want to withdraw.
However, he had no choice. The opponent had broken his formation. Besides, Yang Jian’s strength was so strong;
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey could not fight back then.
Pitter-patter…
The officials panicked, and they immediately formed a circle of protection around the Empress to escort her down
the city tower. Then, the army escorted the group to evacuate Lilydale City quickly.
Boom!
Immediately after they were evacuated from Lilydale City, the city gate was blasted to pieces. Then, the few
hundred thousand North Moana soldiers poured into Lilydale City like a wave in the ocean.
“All hail Military Adviser!”
“All hail Your Majesty!”
After they occupied Lilydale City, the few hundred thousand North Moana soldiers cheered in unison. They were so
loud.
Yang Jian was still suspended in mid-air; a smile appeared at the corners of his lips, and his majestic voice spread
throughout Lilydale City. “Listen up. We’ll take a rest here. Enjoy the city’s fine wine and women. We’ll set out
tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” The entire army shouted in unison.
Eira went to Lilydale City with Ambrose. She realized that Lilydale City’s citizens were left homeless after the North
Moana Army burned and looted their properties. She bit her lips; she was heartbroken.
She wondered if she should persuade her brother and master to leave Yang Jian since the man could not care less
about the lives of ordinary civilians.
Eira regretted joining the army with Ambrose.
If it were not for her, her master would not stay to help Yang Jian to invade Lilydale City.
…
On the other side.
Darryl and the South Cloud Army escorted the Empress and hundreds of officials to the Royal City. They did not
even make a pitstop during the journey.
Darryl had managed to regain his strength in two days; he continued to lead his army to continue the fight against
the North Moana Army. During that period, he displayed all of his military talents and even asked for help from Pang
Tong. However, he was still defeated in the end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhang Jue was initially a vicious man with harsh methods. When he led the Yellow Turban Rebellions in the battles,
he had used many malicious methods to harm the civilians and created an intense sentiment of anger.
After he was imprisoned for a thousand years, Zhang Jue’s attitude had changed. However, he still used many
inhumane methods to help Yang Jian in the battle.
Whenever he attacked a city, Zhang Jue would ask the North Moana Army to capture civilians and use them as
human shields in front of the army to advance slowly.
In Zhang Jue’s view, one should not have the benevolence of a woman if one wanted to achieve great things in life,
and that coincided with Yang Jian’s opinion.
However, Darryl and Pang Tong were compassionate people. They cared about the lives of civilians, and so, their
hands were tied. Therefore, Darryl continued to lose the battle.
For two days, Zhang Jue had used ruthless methods to destroy a dozen cities in a row—things had been smooth and
easy for the North Moana Army.
In the hall in the South Cloud Palace…
The Empress looked exhausted and anxious, and Quincy, who was next to her, wore a serious expression on her
face.
Darryl and hundreds of officials stood in front of the throne. All of them looked disheartened, and they were quiet.
