‘Sh*t…’ Darryl furrowed his brows.He could see Geoff and his friends were turning their heads to look at him from time to time. His eyes were full of vengeance. However, Darryl did not take it to heart.After eating and drinking, Darryl and the Four Dragon Four Phoenixes returned to the inn. They rested for a while before Darryl went to the literary competition venue. Once he arrived at the venue, he saw the list of group assignments posted on the notice board at the entrance.Eldest Dragon was right. The literary competition for the day was a defend and attack battle. There were eight people in a team, each would form their army formation, and each participant would lead 20 soldiers. The last two standing would qualify for the next round. Soon, Darryl found his name in a group. He saw the Parker Yohan’s name on that group, too. He never expected he would be on the same team with Parker.Darryl could not help but smile when he saw that.Soon, the competition was about to begi
After entering the competition venue, Darryl said to Parker, “Mister Yohan, please cover me later. I’m not so familiar with this soldiers formation.”Darryl intentionally raised his voice when he said that. He wanted Quinton and the rest to hear it as he looked sincere, and his eyes showed his desperation. Darryl said this intentionally so that not only could he hide his real ability, but so he could also trick Quinton and the others to let their guard down. At that moment, Quinton, Titus, and the rest looked at each other with an arrogant smile. ‘Luca is such a coward. He’s panicking even before the competition starts. Too bad he offended Mister Jefferson; he’ll be the first to be eliminated later.’Darryl was not bothered by their insulting gazes. Instead, he followed Parker closely, waiting for her reply.Parker bit her lips and said, “Let’s see how it goes later.” Although she knew about war strategies, she only learned it on books. It would be the first time she put it in
The situation on a battlefield could be ever-changing. Someone who seized the opportunity at a critical moment would be able to take control of the entire situation. Based on Darryl’s experience, what was in front of him was the perfect opportunity. However, Parker shook her head in disagreement. “No, they’re battling so intensely right now, and we’ll be caught in it as well if we join in.”As she said, Parker looked determined. “Let’s just wait to collect the fruit from their battle.”‘Sh*t! This is such a great opportunity, but you have decided just to wait?’ Darryl was upset. He replied, “When Quinton and the other three defeat the other participants, we won’t have another chance.”“You mean Quinton and the other three have allied?” Parker asked in realization.Darryl nodded.Parker lifted her brows and looked at the battle in front of her eyes. “That doesn’t seem possible. There are only two people that will advance to the next level. How can four of them be allies?”As s
Parker was instantly worried as she replied softly, “You? What’s your plan?”‘If Luca had the leadership skills, he would not have begged to form an alliance with me.’“If you don’t believe me, then we both will be eliminated together.” Darryl smiled, looking unpredictable.‘Does he really have a plan?’Parker went silent when she saw his expression. She then nodded. “Fine, I’ll listen to you.”She did not know why she agreed, but Parker decided to trust Darryl in the end. ‘No matter what, he saw that Quinton and the rest had formed an alliance, but I didn’t notice.’More importantly, Parker had absolutely no idea what to do.Darryl took a deep breath and said to Quinton, “Quinton! Don’t get too excited; we still don’t know who’s going to win or lose. My master said not to speak nonsense in the competition area.”His tone was calm but was insulting. At that moment, Quinton and the others were beyond furious and did not speak further.“Charge!”“Attack now!”“Break their
At that moment, Parker felt like what Darryl told her was not normal and held special meanings. ‘Didn’t he say he didn’t know any soldier formations?’ she thought as she looked at Darryl, curious. Darryl smiled and looked relaxed. The formation he used was a rather simple formation from the Bai Qi Formations. However, it was more than enough to deal with Quinton and the rest. If it were not for the fact that Darryl did not want to attract the New World Emperor’s attention and reveal his identity, he would not have got Parker to order the formation. He would have defeated Quinton and the rest once the competition started. ‘That…that was incredible!’ Quinton and the rest were stunned, but they were also furious.They had the advantage of having more people, but they were still defeated. It would be humiliating if they lost. “Quinton, Titus, charge. Eliminate them,” Geoff shouted from the observation deck. ‘I must seek my revenge; Luca must lose!’“Charge!” Quinton and the o
“The formation you used just now!” Parker stomped her feet impatiently.‘This guy is still trying to pretend?!’Darryl scratched his head and said slowly, “I read a soldier’s strategy book before, and the book described how to use formations. I suddenly remembered it when we were in the middle of all the chaos; that was what I told you!”‘Soldier’s strategy book?’ Parker furrowed her brows and thought. “Which strategy book? How come I’ve never seen it before?”As the eldest daughter of Famed Sword Manor, Parker had read countless books, but she had never seen a book about formation in common soldiers strategies books.‘Sh*t! It isn’t easy to trick Parker.’ Darryl was frustrated when he saw Parker’s stubborn face. He smiled and said, “Is it important to know what formation it was? We won!”“No! You need to tell me!” Parker was determined. She was a stubborn lady and wanted to clarify everything no matter what she faced. Darryl could not help but smile and nodded, “Fine, I’ll
Once he returned to the inn, Darryl ordered Four Dragons Four Phoenixes, “Later you go to places near the royal palace to find out some news about Princess Yvette.”Although he could see Yvette every day at the competition venue, Darryl still wished to know her situation in the palace. Honestly, he really wished to break into the palace to investigate, but when he thought of the fact that there were many powerful warriors in the palace, and he was one of the participants, he had to put off the idea.“Yes, boss!” they answered together before leaving the inn immediately.Four Dragons Four Phoenixes returned with some news a few hours later.When he heard that Yvette had attempted to commit suicide multiple times in the past few days but was found just in time, Darryl’s heart ached uncontrollably.The rest of the night, Darryl’s mind was full of thoughts of Yvette, and he only managed to fall asleep after midnight.The next morning, Darryl arrived at the martial art competition ven
As spoken, Florian rode the horse, guarded by the royal armies. He led the participants to amble into the royal city as they headed towards the training ground.The royal family training ground was located about 2 kilometers away south of the royal city. It was also an ancient battlefield place. There were many ancient battlefields in the New World. Due to the close distance from the royal city, the sites were listed as prohibited places by the royal family. They were only used by the royal families as training grounds.The New World Emperor had given special permission to open the place as the competition venue for the participants of the semi-finals of the martial arts marriage tournament.Soon, everyone arrived at the ancient battlefield.At that moment, Darryl could not help but gasp when he saw the ancient battlefield in front of his eyes.The ancient battlefield was not only huge and wide. Its environment looked complicated, too. Trees and grass grew everywhere, and there wa
