The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2231

Before Gonggong’s arrival, Darryl had analyzed Mid City’s map carefully. He had a new plan to give up Mid City temporarily and retreat to the Wicked Valley in the northern suburbs.

After all, there was a massive disparity in powers on both sides. If they continued for much longer, Darryl’s side would only become more passive and defensive.

The Wicked Valley that Darryl had mentioned was the Elysium Gate’s Ten Heaven Masters’ territory. When he had just founded the Elysium Gate, he heard a group of men who had claimed the valley as their own and caused trouble to the surrounding villages. The leader was called Oldest Villain One, and with his nine brothers, they were called the Ten Villains. So, Darryl ordered the Elysium Gate Sect to destroy them. He subdued the Ten Villains and renamed them the Ten Heaven Masters.

That incident had happened more than ten years ago, but Darryl still remembered it clearly. The Wicked Valley had high and treacherous mountains. It was easy to defend but hard to attack. If they could trap the North Moana Army there, it would be hard for Yang Jian to invade the other cities.

After he came up with that plan, Darryl thought about how he would execute it under the North Moana Army’s radar. After all, it was a colossal task to evacuate everyone from Mid City, and they would be noticed easily.

Coincidentally, Gonggong was there to persuade them to surrender. That gave Darryl a great chance.

Darryl had decided to head to the North Moana camp with Gonggong to see Yvette and the other cultivators. All of the North Moana Army’s attention would be on him, and that would give the Carter family and the Westrington Army time to head to the Wicked Valley to deploy their defenses.

When he was finished with his explanation, Darryl looked at the night sky outside and said grimly, “The Ghost Valley Sage told me that I need to be flexible in my thinking. I cannot be confined to my own reasoning. I think I understand his words a little bit more now. We would burn out if we were to hold on to Mid City. So why don’t we change to another place instead?”

When he said that, an image of the Ghost Valley Sage appeared in Darryl’s mind. He felt quite emotional. It would be great if the Ghost Valley Sage were still by his side.

Woo!

Everyone else was enlightened when they heard what he had said. They smiled.

At that moment, Dax chuckled out loud and punched Darryl’s shoulder. “I’ve always known that you are a righteous person. So why would you be afraid of death and surrender to Yang Jian?”

Darryl rubbed his shoulder, smiled, and said, “Do I still need to explain that? I was afraid that Gonggong would be suspicious, but when she saw how angry Dax was, her suspicions were all gone!” Darryl laughed.

“I—”

Dax scratched his head in embarrassment. “I was very anxious at that time. So, in a way, did I do something right by mistake?”
