Chapter 367 - 365 you have to consider what the audience wants to see_1
Luo Shuang, the State Preceptor, Huangfu Yue, and others gathered on the battlefield.
Zhang Yizhi looked at Duge, a look of resentment on his face, "Imperial Master, this isn’t what we planned. We agreed that I would lure the enemy, but how come you managed to take care of it on your own? At this rate, when will my skills ever awaken? Though I am of Sky Matching Star, now I feel like a mere supporting character, dispensable and unimportant."
"Don’t panic, there will be opportunities," Duge reassured him before turning to Luo Shuang, bowing deeply, "Princess, I have not failed your expectations. The battle at Chong Mountain was a great triumph. We captured the enemy commander Lin Qing, the deputy commanders, and over thirty other officers, two Grandmasters, and two hundred thousand soldiers, along with countless supplies and equipment. The Heavenly Demon Shen Yu has been beheaded. In this battle, the contribution of Wu Chang from Earth Ferocious Star was paramount, followed by the merits of Ge Zong from Earth Alien Star and Xiang Li from Earth Tease Star..."
As a loyal soldier, Duge always made sure to leave plenty of face for Luo Shuang in front of others. Watching his subordinates awaken their skills one by one, he had long been itching for his own turn.
Loyalty must be demonstrated.
As for Shen Yu, without the aid of his thirty thousand archers, he was nothing but a lamb to the slaughter; Duge cut him down without a second thought.
Some people can be spared, some cannot.
Shen Yu’s abilities were far too unpredictable.
Keeping such a person around meant that, should he turn traitor, it was uncertain where those thirty thousand arrows would be aimed.
Should he manage to ambush them, with the title of the strongest in the world, he could take a strong bow and slay all under the heavens.
"Imperial Master, rise," Luo Shuang extended her hand to help Duge up, her eyes brimming with joy she couldn’t suppress as she looked at her Imperial Master, fortunate beyond belief to have met the man in her time of need, a man who changed her life completely.
She dared not even imagine.
