Chapter 1835: Chapter 1854: How to Force Them Back? As countless people focused on the war in Sky River Region, Yusuf Zuck had already captured ten cities, and after taking these ten cities, Parker Berger managed them efficiently. However, after these ten cities were taken, there was finally movement from Waylon Gardner’s side, and it was exposed that Charles Gardner was serving as an imperial censor under Yusuf Zuck, causing a stir throughout the sect, prompting the elders of the sect to rush into Waylon Gardner’s seclusion place to inform him of this. After all, with Charles Gardner gone, it was like losing the backbone. Although everyone was loyal, there was no leader. As Yusuf Zuck’s Three Way Tiger Wolf Army rapidly advanced and captured the fifteenth city, the legendary Waylon Gardner finally emerged from seclusion. Waylon Gardner appeared to be a man in his forties; of course, that was just his appearance, as no one knew his true age, with people outside calling him an old monster. In the great hall of Tianyi Sect, after Waylon Gardner had read all the relevant intelligence, he did not show any anger. This man had long cultivated to a level where his emotions did not show on his face. He was an exceptional Dao Lord, and one of the older, established ones. The difference between an old exceptional Dao Lord and one who had just achieved that level was immense. “Order.” His words were few but very calm, and as soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall kneeled, including three other exceptional Dao Lords. Indeed, how could the Tianyi Sect have only one exceptional Dao Lord? Otherwise, how could it dominate an entire region of the Sky River? “Order ‘Atwater Lopez’ and the armor guard army to proceed via the Northeast and intercept the first army of Longevity clan, killing them all without exception!” “Yes!” The formidable exceptional Dao Lord Atwater Lopez clasped his fists in salute and stood tall. “Order Jaziel King and the second guard army to proceed via the Southwest and intercept the second army of Longevity clan, killing them all without exception!” “Yes!” Exceptional Dao Lord Jaziel King also rose to stand firm. “Order Nathan O’Brien and the third guard army to proceed via the Northwest and intercept the third army of Longevity clan, killing them all without exception!” “Everyone else is to be allocated into the three armies without fail!” “Yes!” The crowd responded loudly in unison. At this moment, Waylon Gardner also stood and sneered, “Fetch my Raging Fire Sabre and Fire Scale Armor; I will personally take Yusuf Zuck’s head from the Longevity clan with the fourth guard army, and raze the city for three days as a lesson!” Waylon Gardner was a hero of a figure, a ruthless one that instilled terror. One must know that the divine citizens of every city in the Sky River were also his own people, yet now he had decided to massacre his own people for three days to make a statement to the world! He wanted to show the world in this way that anyone who provoked him, Waylon Gardner, would face consequences no one could endure. The experts in the hall withdrew one after another, counted the soldiers, and all set off. Waylon Gardner’s Raging Fire Sabre and Fire Scale Armor were also brought over, carried by over thirty people because the armor was exceedingly heavy! “Husband!” Just as Waylon Gardner donned the Fire Scale Armor and picked up the Raging Fire Sabre, a woman ran out from the back hall. This woman was Waylon Gardner’s first wife, and over his lifetime, Waylon Gardner only married one woman and fathered only one son! This man may have many faults and terrify many, but he was not a womanizer. “Our son must have been cursed by them and is in extreme danger, you…you…” The woman burst into tears, for the couple had just this one son. “Rest assured, my lady, mere small-time thieves, my son won’t die; even if he does, I, Waylon Gardner, can bring him back to life!” Waylon Gardner spoke with resolute power, as if he genuinely had the ability to resurrect the dead! “I trust my husband!” The woman nodded emphatically, as her husband had never let her down all these years! “Hmm, don’t worry about the household, I have left the Hidden Guard, and there’s nothing to worry about!” After finishing his words, Waylon Gardner left the hall with several close aides! The third guard army of Tianyi Sect was part of the fourth-tier defenses, with numerous members but low cultivation levels, the highest being the first guard army, with the third guard only ranked fourth. However, the reason for taking the third guard along was as a formality, to train these people once, as his presence alone, Waylon Gardner, was worth a million troops. “Set off!” There was no pre-battle mobilization because it wasn’t needed; victory was in sight no matter how they fought, and failure was not an option! Meanwhile, as the Tianyi Sect moved, the various forces and figures of the Transit Realm kept a close watch, for this kind of event was a rare occurrence in a millennia. How the one dreaming of becoming Emperor would die and how long it would take for Waylon Gardner to settle the chaos in the Sky River Region were intriguing matters. Of course, Yusuf Zuck also received the relevant intelligence and called Parker Berger, Qingqiu Luo, and Charles Gardner to stand around the sand table in the Palace Hall. The sand table was handcrafted by Parker Berger, depicting the entire terrain and landscape of the Sky River Region, including the models of each city. “This time, the Tianyi Sect is launching an overt retaliation, with a total of four armies: three are intercepting our Three Way Tiger Wolf Army, and the other is led by Waylon Gardner himself towards our Wolong City.” As Parker Berger spoke, he pointed at the model map, his expression heavy because he knew the critical moment had arrived. If they couldn’t stop the opponent this time, everything they had done would become a laughingstock for the world, mocking the Longevity Empire as fragile and no more than a mere jumping clown. Yusuf Zuck stayed silent, honestly, despite forming the embryonic state of an empire in such a short time, compared to the Tianyi Sect, it was as fragile as paper, unable to defeat them! At this point, Parker Berger continued, “The three armies contain exceptional Dao Lords and numerous other Dao Lords, so should those armies clash with ours, our main commanders would be decapitated immediately, and our forces would be massacred!” “What strategy do you have?” Yusuf Zuck asked with a wry smile. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs nοvelfire.net “There is only one strategy!” Parker Berger let out a cold laugh, looking up at Charles Gardner! Charles Gardner’s forehead was drenched in sweat; he knew he was at the end of his rope! “He is our greatest trump card. To my knowledge, Waylon Gardner has only this one son, so once Charles Gardner dies, Waylon Gardner will have no heir. I refrained from killing Charles Gardner back then because I was waiting for such a crisis; to resolve this crisis, there is no other remedy!” “What do you mean?” Yusuf Zuck glanced at Charles Gardner and then looked toward Parker Berger. “Step one, dispatch three messengers to intercept the opponent’s three armies, informing them that if they dare attack our Tiger Wolf Army, we will kill Charles Gardner immediately!” “This way, the three armies may waver; although they follow Waylon Gardner’s orders, they cannot afford to risk Charles Gardner’s life due to their assault, so even if they encounter the Tiger Wolf Army, they will not strike immediately!” “Hmm, sensible analysis, what next?” Yusuf Zuck nodded in agreement. “Next, we must face Waylon Gardner proactively; my protective formation may not be easily breached by him, at least not quickly, allowing us to reach the city gate and use Charles Gardner’s life to restrain him, rendering Waylon Gardner helpless!” “So what’s the final strategy? How do we repel or kill Waylon Gardner? How do we drive back their army?” Yusuf Zuck looked at Parker Berger with curiosity.
