Darryl had decided that, no matter what happened, he would not let Donoghue go that day. However, he could not do it himself. He was worried he would injure Debra by accident. He was too powerful, and the consequences would be dire if he were to hurt Debra.
This was the reason Darryl let Brad and the others fight instead. The only condition he had was that Debra must not be harmed. When he saw her get hurt, his heart ached. Without hesitation, he ordered his people to retreat immediately.
At that moment, Brad and the thousands of Westrington soldiers paused, but none of them retreated.
Brad looked worried as he shouted, “Your Majesty! Donoghue is extremely sly. If we let him go, it will be tough to capture him again.”
He knew Darryl stopped the army because he was worried about Debra’s safety, but the safety of a woman was nothing compared to capturing Donoghue. As the Emperor, Darryl was the most important person in the world; why would he worry about not finding a woman for him. Releasing Donoghue was a far bigger threat to his future. Donoghue had the Sky Breaking Axe, and that cannot be taken lightly.
At that moment, Darryl’s eyes were blood-red as he roared, “Shut up! I told you to retreat; are you all deaf? You want to disobey my orders? Retreat. All of you retreat!”
Darryl’s eyes were staring closely at Donoghue, feeling frustrated.
However, he had no choice. If they continued to battle, Debra would get hurt. This was the woman he loved; he would not let that happen.
“Don’t be angry, Your Majesty. We will retreat!” Brad shivered when he felt Darryl’s rage. He retreated immediately, and at the same time, 10,000 of the Black Rider Army also left.
At that moment, Brad still did not know that Darryl cared more about Debra’s safety even though Donoghue was important.
Sigh!
