The ultimate husband

Meanwhile, at Mid City in the World Universe continent.

Yang Jian led a few hundred thousand soldiers and set up camps outside the city.

A few days ago, Yang Jian had conquered Yunzhou City. Then, after a short break, he continued to set off and

conquer the cities along the way. He had been very successful, and he had arrived in Mid City within only a few

days.

Yang Jian ordered his men to invade the city, but the Carter family and elites from the various sects had managed

to stop him.

The Carter family and elites from various sects were no match to the North Moana Army. However, Mid City was

the World Universe’s capital. It was the most developed and prosperous city on the continent. Its land size was

almost five times that of Yunzhou City, and its defense mechanism was also the strongest in the continent.

Under such circumstances, the Carter family and elites from the various sects were lucky enough to be able to

defend against the North Moana Army’s attack. With the help from the people of Mid City and the powerful defense

mechanism, they managed to secure the city.

Yang Jian did not take any further action after the failed attempt to take over the city. Instead, he ordered his army

to rest and recuperate in the camp.

The Carter family and elites from the various sects dared not lower their guards. With help from ordinary civilians,

they worked to strengthen their defenses at the Mid City entrances. At the same time, they sent people to observe

the North Moana Army’s movement and be prepared when their opponents launched another attack.

The entire Mid City was gloomy.

In North Moana Army’s military camp.

Yang Jian was troubled as he sat in the commander-in-chief’s seat.

Next to him, Zhang Jue also frowned, and their generals also held their breath nervously.

The atmosphere in the military camp seemed calm, but everyone felt suffocated and depressed.

Yang Jian was very annoyed. He thought that he would be able to acquire Mid City in one fell swoop, but he had

failed in his first attempt.

Mid City was worthy of its name as the largest city on the continent. It had a large population with numerous

defense mechanisms. That was why Yang Jian had trouble conquering it.

Suddenly, the front-line general, Jake Herald, stepped out slowly.

Jake asked cautiously, “Your Majesty, do you want to try to invade the city again before nightfall?”

Yang Jian waved his hand and growled, “Why should I? Are you sure you can break through their defense

mechanism?”

Uh…

Jake was embarrassed. After he pondered the question, he said in a low voice, “With our army’s current strength,

we can do it if we go all out.”

“Don’t I know that?” Yang Jian said coldly, “Let’s not talk about our casualties for now. Many Mid City civilians would

have been killed and injured in the process. I have already been scolded by the public when we took the other

cities. Do you want them to think that I am a tyrant?”

Yang Jian was very annoyed.

Jake was right; they could take the city if they went all out. However, the prosperous Mid City would surely be ruined

in the process.

More importantly, Yang Jian did not want to leave a bad impression.

Yang Jian was arrogant and self-satisfied. He wanted to dominate all nine continents to become an unprecedented

Emperor. However, he failed to consider the civilians when he conquered the other cities. As a result, he made a

mess, and there were cries of discontent from the public. Yang Jian felt bad.

He thought about it and decided that he must occupy Mid City with the least cost and try not to harm innocent

people.

Uh…

The awkward Jake quickly knelt on the ground; he was panicked. “Your Majesty, I have no bad intentions. I was just

trying to share your burden, and hopefully, we’ll conquer Mid City soon.”

Yang Jian was so upset that he did not dwell on it. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled for Jake to retreat.

Then, Yang Jian tilted his head to look at Zhang Jue. “Military Adviser, do you have a good plan?”

Zhang Jue took a deep breath, pondered, and said, “Your Majesty wants to occupy Mid City at the lowest cost

possible and try not to harm the civilians. I have a way to do that, but I am not sure whether it will succeed.”

“Military Adviser, please tell me your plan!” Yang Jian was overjoyed; he urged Zhang Jue to uncover his plan.

Zhang Jue smiled faintly and said, “My method is very simple. Let’s send a few of our elites into the Carter Mansion

and kidnap Susan. Everything will fall into place after that.”

“Darryl is not around, and Susan has been the one to command their strategies. Once we get a hold of her, then

the World Universe would lose their leader; they would be in a mess.”

Zhang Jue looked confident after he gave the suggestion. He pointed to the table in front of him and said, “I just

took another look at the Carter Mansion. It is in the northeast of Mid City, and to the north is some barren hills and

wilderness. It is not difficult to sneak into it. Nonetheless, it’s hard to say if we could catch Susan.”

Yang Jian laughed.

He was overjoyed; he praised sincerely. “I like your method. It’s perfect! Let’s try it. I’ll leave this to you, Military

Adviser.”
