Chester took a deep breath and said slowly, "Zhang Jue is here."
Next, Dax cursed, "Zhang Jue! If it weren't for fighting against the Raksasa Tribe together, I'd kill him."
Zhang Jue was the commander when the North Moana Army invaded the World Universe continent. He had turned the World Universe into chaos and caused countless civilians to lose their homes.
'Zhang Jue?'
Darryl was taken aback, and then he frowned.
Zhang Jue was vicious and cunning. He had forced Gonggong to plot against Darryl. They wondered why he would visit them; did he have something up his sleeve?
They arrived at the big tent.
Susan, Quincy, Andy, and Parker were already seated on the Union Army's side with solemn expressions.
Zhang Jue sat opposite them; he looked cold and arrogant. A dozen powerful North Moana generals stood behind him.
"Darryl!"
"Sect Master Darby."
"Brother Darryl..."
Susan and others got up hurriedly to greet Darryl, but Zhang Jue remained seated.
"Darryl!" After Darryl sat down, Zhang Jue said with a smile, "His Majesty and the Raksasa King are now missing since the day they had a duel. We don't know where they are, but the situation now is urgent. Although the Raksasa's army has retreated, they can attack at any time. Therefore, the North Moana Army and the Union Army must cooperate."
"How do you want us to work together?" Darryl responded indifferently.
Darryl had not wanted anything to do with Zhang Jue. After all, the man had almost killed him. However, he held his emotions back for the sake of the Nine Mainland.
Zhang Jue took a deep breath and stood up. He said thoughtfully, "When the Union Army and the North Moana Army are united, we're not weak. We just don't completely trust each other. After thinking about it, I feel that it is necessary to elect a Commander-in-chief to issue the command."
The people behind Quincy and everyone on their side nodded.
Zhang Jue chuckled as he looked at Darryl. "So, do you recommend Darryl then? Even if he is a capable man, the North Moana soldiers are proud and arrogant; I'm afraid that he won't be able to lead them!"
"You don't sound very sincere to work with us after all," Dax shouted.
For a time, the two sides were at a stalemate.
"Alright!"
Finally, Darryl stood up. He smiled at Zhang Jue and said, "This is about the safety of the Nine Mainland. I shouldn't be competing with you for the position of Commander-in-chief, but for the sake of my soldiers, I won't sacrifice them in vain. I think we'd better command them separately."
For a moment, Darryl thought about letting Zhang Jue be the Commander-in-chief. After all, he was really good at military strategies.
On second thought, Zhang Jue would do anything and everything for the goal. He would not care for the soldiers' lives and deaths. Had he become the Commander-in-chief and won the war, those hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the North Moana Army and the Union Army might still suffer a significant loss.
