The cost for the army to camp beside the river was too enormous. If they did not take down Emerald Cloud City soon, their food supply would be finished in a couple of days. They did not have much time to wait."Sir!" At that moment, a disciple reported outside of the camp. The Emerald Cloud City secretary wishes to see you."Paya was overjoyed to hear that. He spoke quickly, "Hurry! Let him in.""Yes, Great General!" A few seconds later, the secretary greeted Paya respectfully, "The Mayor sent me here to deliver a letter to you. He said it's extremely urgent!"Then, he passed the letter to Paya.Paya could not wait and opened the letter immediately. After reading the letter, he was very excited. He laughed and smacked his thigh. "That's good! Good!"No words could describe how excited Paya was. The letter stated that the Emerald Cloud City's navy would attack the camp the next morning. It even detailed the entire plan."Alright!" Paya laughed after reading the letter. "We will c
"Who is it?" When the Mayor heard the knock on the door, he was on his guard and asked coldly, "Who's knocking?"They would notify if it were one of them.Caleb took a deep breath and said, "It's me, Caleb!"The Mayor was pleased to hear Caleb's voice. He opened the door, "Guard Caleb, have you decided since you are here at this late hour?"He looked for a chance to talk to Caleb alone in the morning. Caleb had been guarding King Astro for nearly a decade. He was King Astro's most trusted confidante. If the Mayor could successfully entice Caleb to his side, his plan with Paya would have a better chance of succeeding.It was an impossible mission to persuade Caleb to join him. Nonetheless, he believed that everyone had a weakness and a desire. As a result, he promised Caleb prosperity, wealth, gold, beautiful women, a house, and so on.At first, he thought it would take more than a day for Caleb to reply, so he did not expect to see Caleb that night. He smiled brightly and invited
"What's wrong, sir?" King Astro asked as he monitored the situation with the navy and the warships.The warships were perfectly aligned, and the soldiers were in good spirits. King Astro rarely fought battles on the water despite having numerous war medals. He could not tell anything was wrong.Darryl smiled and pointed at the river. "The Mayor looked like he was about to fight fiercely, but he was actually giving a signal to Paya. There's a massive difference between the battle on land and water."During the start of a battle on land, having all the soldiers shout together could improve morale and deter the enemy. But it's different when you battle on the water. You're giving your enemy enough time to prepare by making such a loud noise. Yes, warships are enormous, but they lack mobility. It will take a while before the warships arrive on the other side."I'm afraid Paya and his army have already finished preparing their defenses by now."The smile on Darryl's face became brighte
During the morning battle, the Mayor collaborated with Paya to put on a show. There was nothing exciting about the battle, and it definitely destroyed the well-reputed navy of the Emerald Cloud City. Theoretically speaking, the Mayor should be punished.However, Yankee did not punish him. Instead, he purposely forgave the Mayor. The ultimate goal was to seize control of the navy.'What?' The Mayor was stunned and looked at Yankee dumbfoundedly. He failed to find words to form a sentence. 'I've given so much effort in training the navy. How can I give it up? Most importantly, if I don't have control over the army, how will I cooperate with Paya?'The Mayor panicked as he thought about it. Sweat beaded all over his forehead.'What's wrong?' Yankee looked angry when the Mayor did not say anything. "Are you trying to disobey my order and reluctant to surrender your control?"The Mayor finally reacted. He quickly kneeled and said fearfully, "No, I would never dare to do that."After t
Darryl's tone abruptly changed as he spoke. He pointed to the warship models that were connected. "However, if they tied the warships together, the soldiers and generals would be able to walk normally. They could reach the south side if they set sail slowly."King Astro, Yankee, and Caleb were stunned to hear the theory. They were surprised. 'Mr. Darryl is really a genius. He can solve the problem that has been troubling Paya. Tying those warships together will mean the warships are as steady as being on land. It could let the rebel soldiers be at an advantage.'However, while they were shocked, they did not understand it. Why would Darryl need to stimulate the battle from Paya's point?""Guard Caleb!" When they were feeling puzzled, Darryl smiled and looked at Caleb. "The Mayor had just lost his control over the army. Besides meeting with Paya in secret, he would also summon you. At that time, tell him this solution. If he knew this solution, he would pass it to Paya immediately."
Caleb quickly kneeled and said, "I will not disappoint you!"Darryl nodded satisfyingly. He said to King Astro, "When the battle begins, we must not trust the navy. So we must appoint someone from our side to light the warship on fire.""You're right!" King Astro nodded. He looked around and said to the guards who were present. "You heard it too. On the day of the battle, it will be your responsibility to burn the warships."The guards kneeled. "We will do our best."King Astro was proud and honored and nodded to show his satisfaction. He asked Darryl, "Sir, what should we do next?"Darryl smiled and waved the commander's badge in his hand. "Now, let's take a walk at the navy base with me. Since we have the commander's badge, it will be suspicious if we don't show our faces."Darryl and King Astro both laughed out loud after that.On the other side, in the Mayor's mansion's study room...The Mayor sat inside, depressed. His mood had plummeted. He felt like a tiger without its t
"I made a deal with Paya to accomplish what others couldn't. I will promise you infinite prosperity and wealth if you all follow me," the Mayor said.His eyes were bright as he said that. He was confident that the generals he had personally trained would never betray him.'What?' The generals exchanged looks with each other, and they were shocked to hear that. 'The Mayor is colluding with Paya in secret? It's… treason! But even if we continue to work for the Daim Dynasty, there is a high chance the young Emperor will not trust us because we were with the Mayor.'After much thinking, a general kneeled and said, "I will follow you until my death."Once he finished talking, the other generals kneeled and shouted, "I will follow you until death!"The Mayor felt so happy. He laughed and said, "Good, good, good. Once I achieve greatness, I will never mistreat all of you."The generals nodded.Later, a general asked, "Sir, what should we do next? Tell us, please."At the same time, th
The Mayor laughed despite his shock. "Darryl, oh, Darryl. I bet you never thought Paya would use your method to attack the city!"He patted Caleb's shoulder. "Caleb, you have done great this time!"'The chained method is definitely good and impeccable.' The more the Mayor thought about it, the more excited he was.After so many years of guarding this city, he was proficient in battling on the water. When he heard Darryl's idea to connect the warships with chains, he could not think of a way to tackle it.The Mayor did not know it was Darryl's plan all along.Caleb was relieved to see the Mayor getting so excited, and he was excited too. 'Mr. Darryl is so marvelous. This rascal has fallen into the trap,' he thought.He pretended to hesitate. "Mayor, are you going to tell Paya about this method?""Of course!" The Mayor was in a good mood. He nodded and smiled. "Paya's army is good at fighting. But his generals and soldiers are no good on the water. With this chained method, his ar
Behind Darryl, Ambrose smiled widely, looking at Darryl with happiness in his eyes.Then, under the gaze of thousands, the brides entered. Instantly, there were cheers all around. Many men looked envious. The eight brides were drop-dead gorgeous! Debra, Yvette, Yvonne, Monica, Aurora, Shannon, Quincy, and Lily. They held hands and walked on stage.More importantly, each of the brides was of high status. Some were empresses, some were Sect Masters. It could be said that Darryl was living the ultimate dream of many men.The expensive gowns showed off their attractive curves. At that moment, when they stood together, each of them looked so beautiful as if they were angels, gracing the presence of mortal humans. It was a visual feast.Soon, the wedding was at its peak where they were pronounced husband and wives. Rapturous applause rang out.Darryl walked over and kissed each wife on the cheek. He also took many photos and uploaded them to his public WeMet account, the North Valle
Especially Magaera. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He was finally relieved. After all, he had previously destroyed the prince's fairy soul. It was the death penalty.Seeing how sincere they were about their mistakes, the Ancient Ancestor said nothing else. He scanned the crowd and said seriously, "Alright, I am now going to announce an important matter. "While I was cultivating in seclusion, many things had happened. However, the Godly Region can't go a day without a ruler. I have decided to anoint Darryl Darby as the new Heaven Emperor."Daryl is kind and knowledgeable. He had previously helped defend against the fiend race. He has worked hard for the Godly Region. He was later also the master of Aurin, being the Royal Master. He is more than qualified for the role."Wow! Upon his words, the entire hall was in an uproar. However, soon, the officials and the Immortals went up to Darryl and congratulated him. After all, the Ancient Ancestor was right. Darryl had indeed
What the hell…Emperor Aurelias was stunned. He looked at the Ancient Ancestor with disbelief. Impossible. He had personally destroyed the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul. How could he still be alive? Finally, Emperor Aurelias came to his senses. He said, "You…" He was so stunned that he could no longer continue his sentence after muttering a word.The Ancient Ancestor silently looked at him without any expression on his face. He slowly said, "The one that you destroyed previously was only one of my other duplicates. Aurelias, you are still the same after so many years. I am truly disappointed in you.""Haha!" Upon hearing that, Emperor Aurelias was first stunned, then he laughed maniacally. "Stop with the nagging. Even if you favored the Nine Heaven Emperor, he is already dead. In your heart, I can never live up to him. This makes me unhappy. What are you going to do about that?"Then, Emperor Aurelias attacked the Ancient Ancestor. He knew that there was no point crying over sp
Woo! Darryl took a deep breath and slowly said, "We're at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, many fiend race warriors have died here. The aura here is extremely hostile. Mixing the aura with the Immortals Trap Formation, it should be able to hold him in…"However, before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Aurelias screeched loudly. A burst of energy exploded from him, slamming onto the Immortals Trap Formation.Slam! With a loud rumble, Emperor Aurelias destroyed a few stone pillars. The formation's powers were instantly weakened. Taking this opportunity, Emperor Aurelias broke free from the formation.What the hell! Upon seeing this scene, Darryl was bewildered. Emperor Aurelias had such terrifying powers that even the Immortals Trap Formation could not contain him.Magaera's expressions changed too. His eyes were filled with nervousness and gravity.At that moment, Emperor Aurelias glared at them. "You brats. Die!" Then, he burst forth with the force of thunder. Facing this s
Magaera would be the one to lure Emperor Aurelias there. At the right moment, Darryl would activate the Immortals Trap Formation and trap Emperor Aurelias in it.Darryl even took out the Divine Dragon Jade to send a distress signal to Shandy. Shandy gave Darryl the Divine Dragon Jade, and he always kept it on him.Darryl hid by the side quietly and waited soon after setting up the formation.Slam! Slam! Slam!Soon after, he heard fighting in the nearby skies, followed by the arrival of two figures.It was Magaera and Emperor Aurelias.Dark clouds formed wherever they were, and the wind blew as a result of the terrifying surge of energy.Darryl was ecstatic and delighted to see that.Magaera was fighting Emperor Aurelias at the time while scanning the surroundings. He knew the formation was in place when he did not see Darryl.Previously, Magaera and Darryl had agreed that once the formation was in place, Darryl would hide and wait for the right moment to attack.Slam!At tha
Hehe!The so-called Emperor Aurelias was stunned when he heard what Darryl said, but then he smiled and said, "No wonder you are the Royal Master." It is no surprise that Prince Aurin once held you in such high regard. You could immediately tell what was going on. Amazing!"Then, he raised his hands and wiped his face, showing his true identity.It was Magaera.Bloody hell!When Darryl saw Magaera, he was instantly stunned. "How did you come out from the chaotic void?"At that moment, Darryl was genuinely shocked. He correctly guessed that Emperor Aurelias in front of him was an imposter. Many people crossed his mind, but he would never have thought it would be Magaera.What was even more surprising was Magaera's ability to escape the chaotic void.Magaera chuckled lightly. "If you could trap me in the chaotic void so easily, how could I even be a Lord General?"Darryl took a deep breath and gradually calmed down after hearing what Magaera said.The next second, Darryl said,
"I'll see him now at the Imperial Sky Palace."Empress Heidi was about to head to the Imperial Sky Palace, but Magaera stopped her."Your Majesty, do not be reckless," Magaera said with a serious expression. He said, "If you head there now, you are just falling into a trap.""Then…" Empress Heidi's exquisite face was filled with annoyance. She said anxiously, "What should we do now?" She was already at her wit's end in that current situation.Magaera took a deep breath as if he had made a huge decision. "If you want to go up against Emperor Aurelias, you have to get help from someone.""Who?" Empress Heidi asked quickly.Magaera had a look of complexity. He said, "Darryl Darby!"What?"Empress Heidi initially thought that Magaera would mention some Immortal's name. She never expected that he would say Darryl's name. She was instantly baffled. She looked at Magaera in shock. "Darryl Darby? You want to get him to help?"Empress Heidi was very hostile toward Darryl when the two p
Crash!When the surrounding Imperial Sky Palace guards heard the commotion, they rushed over.They were immediately enraged when they saw Magaera in mid-air."It's the Lord General.""What is he doing? Is he challenging His Majesty?"While the palace guards were conversing, a beam of golden light rushed forth from the Imperial Sky Palace, colliding with Magaera in mid-air.A figure draped in a golden dragon robe emitted a powerful aura of command and arrogance. It was Emperor Aurelias."Magaera?" When he saw Magaera, Emperor Aurelias's expression did not change. He said calmly, "I thought you were still stuck in the chaotic void. I didn't think that you would safely return. Not bad."There are now a thousand things to do in the Godly Region. I need just the right man to assist me."Emperor Aurelias thought that Magaera was there to help him.Magaera sneered, not showing him any respect. "Assist? You are not qualified to be the Heaven Emperor. What assistance do you need?" His
Damn it!The powerful energy crushed Dax; he could not even move, let alone dodge the attack. He could only look at Romeo as he approached.Chester was also shocked and furious. "Stop!"However, Romeo ignored him. He increased his speed instead."You—"Circe was terrified when she saw Romeo about to kill Dax. She wished she could have rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. She drew her sword and placed it around her neck in desperation."Fine. If you insist on revenge, I won't want to live anymore too." It pained her to say that.She saw Archfiend Antigonus destroyed with her own eyes. Circe was devastated. She later became a member of the Holy Saint Sect. Initially, she imagined herself growing old alone. She had no idea Romeo, her junior brother, would be Archfiend Antigonus' host body.Before she could even be happy about that, he had gone to seek revenge on Darryl.She knew that revenge would only breed revenge; there would never be an end to it. If he were to kill
