Chapter 2026

“Darryl!”

The Empress said, “It was an eye-opening experience today to watch your tactical strategy in commanding the

army. From today onward, you shall hold the commander’s badge. I hope you can defeat the North Moana Army

completely and kill off Yang Jian’s idea of conquering the South Cloud World.”

Darryl was very talented; he was the only one who had successfully stopped the North Moana Army from advancing

toward South Cloud World. Therefore, it was appropriate to hand the commander’s badge to him.

He was also her sister’s Prince Consort—he was not an outsider.

“Thank you for trusting me, Your Majesty.” Darryl accepted it, and he nodded with a smile.

Then, Darryl turned to the generals around him and said, “Gather the soldiers and wait for my deployment.”

“Yes, Prince Consort.” The generals responded hurriedly before he quickly went off.

Initially, those generals had looked down on Darryl. They changed their minds after they saw his outstanding

commanding ability—they admired him very much. They were eager to follow his lead and command.

“Your Highness.”

Darryl turned around and looked at Quincy with a smile. “I’ll go and deploy the defense plan first. Maybe you can

head back and clean up the room; it’ll be even better if you could prepare some hot water for me to take a nice

bath later.”

He had traveled all the way to the South Cloud World and helped to counter the North Moana Army; he wanted to

take a bath and rest after that.

Then, Darryl walked past the city gate and dispatched the soldiers to deploy a defense mechanism.

Quincy shuddered; she blushed.

‘How can this bastard talk to me about taking a bath in front of so many people?’

That was too embarrassing.

… At the same time, at the North Moana Army camp.

Yang Jian sat in the commander’s camp with a grim face; he was enraged.

He thought that he could capture Lilydale City before the sun set that day. To his surprise, Darryl’s sudden

appearance had disrupted all his plans.

Not only that, but the battle had also caused him to lose many of his soldiers.

As Grandmaster Erlang, he was known as the almighty figure in all nine continents for thousands of years. He had

never been put in such a miserable situation.

Yang Jian got angrier as he thought about it; his eyes filled with malicious and terrifying spirit.

The generals stood on two lines between his throne; they bowed their heads silently with a solemn expression on

their faces. Ambrose and Eira were among those people.

Who would dare to make a move when the Emperor was angry?

Eira felt complicated at that moment.

Her father had helped the South Cloud World to defend against the North Moana Army’s invasion. Yang Jian would

certainly not spare her father that easily.

It was a tense situation. If she and her brother continued to help Yang Jian, would they have to go against their

father?

‘Should I persuade my brother to leave and go to our father?’

Eira pondered that when she stole a glance at Ambrose. She had decided to dismiss the idea temporarily when she

saw Ambrose’s gloomy and frightening expression.

“Your Majesty.”

A soldier walked into the hall quickly and reported in horror. “Your Majesty, there is a strange man by the creek

behind the camp. We don’t know what to do—”

There was a creek behind the camp, and Yang Jian had sent his soldiers there to keep the surrounding area under

surveillance. A water source was essential to the army.

“Useless scum!”

Yang Jian became angry and roared, “Can’t you handle such a petty thing? Why do I keep any of you useless scum

anyway?” Yang Jian had only been defeated, and he was furious. He got even angrier when he learned that

someone had trespassed their water source.

Thud.

The soldier was so frightened that he knelt immediately in a panic. “Your Majesty, please forgive us. That weird man

is very powerful; he had wounded a few of our soldiers.”
