After they heard Darryl’s command and saw the commander’s badge in his hand, all the soldiers acted in haste and
moved to the left according to his instructions.
“The first 20 thousand people, 50 steps westward.” Darryl took a deep breath and continued to yell out the
commands. “The last 20 thousand people, 50 steps eastward. The remaining ones in the middle spread out in a fan
shape. Hurry! Do it quickly!”
Darryl looked solemn, and he was extremely nervous.
He knew that it was risky for him to do that, but if he succeeded, he would be able to turn the tide of battle
immediately.
The South Cloud Army was very cooperative. They followed Darryl’s instructions and got in their positions without
any hesitation.
However, during the movement, the South Cloud Army temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, and several
thousand more people fell in pools of blood.
“Darryl!”
Quincy looked anxious and shouted, “What the hell are you commanding blindly? Return the commander’s badge

She knew that Darryl had no constructive plan at all; it was pure nonsense.
The Empress and the civil and military officials were also in distress.
‘Will Darryl’s command work? Would we lose the battle faster?’
The Empress bit her lips hard; she felt a little regretful in her heart. She thought she should not have given the
commander’s badge to Darryl.
Darryl pretended not to hear Quincy’s complaints and continued to command the South Cloud Army.
Yang Jian chuckled.
He was floating in mid-air as he studied Darryl closely. Then, a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
“What lame strategy! Does he think he can help the South Cloud Army with such ability?”
Like Quincy and the others, Yang Jian also thought that Darryl was commanding blindly.
‘What?’
Soon, everyone saw a scene that held everyone enthralled.
Initially, the South Cloud Army had been besieged by the North Moana Army, but after they moved quickly under
Darryl’s command, the South Cloud Army became the one that surrounded the North Moana Army instead.
That was right—A mere hundred thousand soldiers had surrounded the few hundred thousand soldiers instead.
‘What just happened?’
The Empress and all the officials, and even Yang Jian, were surprised and shocked.
‘What’s going on?’
“This—”
Quincy shuddered as she stared at Darryl, who was suspended mid-air, closely. Her delicate face was full of shock,
and she was at a loss for words.
‘He had turned the situation around. How did he do it?’
Yang Jian had finally recovered his senses and stared at the South Cloud Army’s formation; his eyes flashed with
surprise, and his tone trembled. “This seems like Emperor Hou Yi’s Thousand Woods Mystery Formation!”
That was right—Darryl had directed the South Cloud Army to form the Thousand Woods Mystery Formation. A
thousand years ago, Emperor Hou Yi had used the same formation to trap Zhu Bajie and got him held in detention
for a thousand years.
Yang Jian recognized it as he had served Emperor Hou Yi faithfully for many years, but only the Emperor could
crack the formation—Yang Jian could not figure it out at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYang Jian was shocked and puzzled when he saw Darryl deploy the Thousand Woods Mystery Formation.
‘Where did he learn the Thousand Woods Mystery Formation?’
Yang Jian did not know that Darryl was familiar with the Bai Qi Formation and the Thousand Woods Mystery
Formation was only one of the slightly more advanced formations. Nevertheless, it was an easy skill for Darryl.
“Everyone!”
Suddenly, Darryl roared, “Retaliate now!”
“Attack!”
The South Cloud Army acted without hesitation when they heard the command. They mustered their internal
energy and started a counterattack.
“Argh!”
The North Moana Army was surrounded, and they were lost in the large formation. They had no strength to fight
back when faced with the counterattack from the South Cloud Army. They shrieked and fell into pools of blood.
Yang Jian’s eyes were blood-red when he saw what had happened. He shook while he gripped onto his Tri-point
Double-edged Saber tightly. He was angrier than before!
