At the same time, a total of 150,000 Dousing Pills were brought from the palace.
A few minutes later, after more than 100 thousand soldiers from the South Cloud Army took the Dousing Pills, they
gathered outside the Royal City gate and stood in battle array to meet the enemies.
At the same time, Darryl and the Empress and Quincy and the rest of the officials stood on top of the gate tower
with solemn expressions.
Of course, the Ghost Valley Sage was also there. Darryl had arranged for him to stand at an inconspicuous place.
Darryl had thought about their battle strategy. He would like the Ghost Valley Sage to appear at the most critical
period to shock Yang Jian and Zhang Jue. Therefore, he would like the Ghost Valley Sage to stay away from the
enemies’ eyes.
The Ghost Valley Sage’s calm demeanor was a stark contrast as compared to everyone else’s nervousness.
Darryl looked into the distance and took a deep breath.
The few hundred thousand North Moana soldiers formed a neat phalanx and slowly approached the city. The
soldiers held their long sabers that glinted under the sun, and its cold light made people cringed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYang Jian was in the frontline; he was in golden armor as he gripped his Tri-point Double-edged saber in his hand.
He had a smile on his face.
Zhang Jue, Ambrose, Eira and many other generals trailed behind him closely.
Yang Jian was about a hundred meters away from the city gate; he raised his hand and waved. The few hundred
thousand North Moana soldiers immediately stopped in their tracks.
Yang Jian looked at the Empress before his eyes fell on Darryl.
“Young Man, you have lost so many battles before this; why aren’t you giving up yet?” Yang Jian sneered as he
looked at Darryl derisively. “My Military Adviser, Zhang Jue, is a powerful man. You’d have no chance of winning
against him. You should give up.”
Yang Jian’s handsome face was full of confidence when he said that.
Since Zhang Jue joined the North Moana, their army had won repeatedly. They were invincible. Darryl’s army had
been defeated in the previous battles, and they had fled in embarrassment. They could not even turn the tide.
“Really?” Darryl chuckled before he said, “What if I don’t want to give up?”
Yang Jian’s face sank as he coldly said, “You’re too full of yourself.”
Then, Yang Jian waved his hand.
Ambrose immediately strode out and shouted a command at the soldiers behind him. “Bring them here.”
Pitter-patter…
More than a thousand people had been broken into groups, and the North Moana soldiers escorted them to the
frontline. Those groups included the old, the weak, women and even children. They all looked dejected and
desperate.
The Empress, Quincy and the civil and military officials were furious when they saw how their enemies treated
those people.
Yang Jian wanted to use those people as a human shield; it was a disgusting move.
Darryl’s eyes were blood-red; he clenched his fists and trembled as anger consumed his heart.
Darryl was frustrated. He could not put any of his strategies in place because he was worried about those people’s
safety. That was why he experienced repeated defeat. Darryl was annoyed and furious to see Yang Jian repeated
the same trick.
A day ago, Darryl had ordered the soldiers to warn those people who lived in the outskirts of the Royal City that the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNorth Moana Army was about to attack, and they could seek shelter away from the battle.
However, the civilians were not willing to abandon their homes. It was a pity to see them fall into such a state.
“Ambrose!”
Darryl reacted and shouted at Ambrose. “It’s inhumane to threaten the people’s lives to attack the city. Yang Jian
has given up on his humanity to occupy the nine continents. You’re only contributing to the atrocity if you help him
in battle. It’s not too late for you to get out of it now.
“Ambrose, I know that you hate me. I have wronged you and your mother. I have never taken care of you since you
were a child. I’ve also never taught you anything, but I believe that my son is not a bad person. I know that you’re
kind.
“Leave the North Moana Army and come with me. Let’s go to the New World Continent and pick up your mother,
okay?”
Darryl looked at Ambrose earnestly when he said that; anticipation glistened in his eyes.
Darryl did not really feel anything when he first saw Ambrose working for Yang Jian. However, when he saw
Ambrose lead the soldiers to threaten the innocent civilians, Darryl realized that he could not let his son continue
that way.
Ambrose was still young, so Darryl could not let him hang around the vicious Yang Jian.
