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

"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

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."

"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

'F*ck!' The more Bosco thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. 'What makes Darryl so special? Why is the royal family so taken with him? He is just a swindler!'He instructed the disciple, "Watch over everything in the temporary palace. Once you see Darryl, find an opportunity to capture him. If he fights back, kill him.""Yes!" The disciple responded after receiving the order and left in a hurry.Once the disciple was gone, a beautiful woman appeared. Bosco was on high alert. When he saw who it was, he was thrilled. He got up and said, "Moriri, it's you."She had a curvy and sexy body with an exquisite and pretty face. She had a cold impression as if she was above the common populace. The person was none other than Moriri.Like Bosco, Moriri came over to Emerald Cloud City as soon as possible after resting in the headquarters. There were many citizens in the city. With the war about to begin, Moriri needed to work with the branch altar in the city to tackle the unknown
