To General Grunt, no matter what Darryl's motives, he would not grant his wish. Should the contents of the letter be true, General Grunt would take the credit. Why not?
The Nine Heaven Emperor took the letter and glared at General Grunt instead of opening it immediately. "You sent people to check out the situation at the fiend race camp? Why was I not aware of this?"
The Imperial Sky Palace was facing an unprecedented crisis and General Grunt taking action on his own was taboo.
"The reason why I did that was to share Your Majesty's burden. At that time, you were recuperating on your own and that's why I didn't inform you beforehand. Your Majesty, please forgive me," General Grunt answered quickly.
Seeing how terrified General Grunt looked, the Nine Heaven Emperor did not ask any more questions and waved his hand. "Alright, alright. Don't let it happen again. You may get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" General Grunt sighed out of relief and got to his feet, but deep down, he was still slightly nervous.
At that moment, the Nine Heaven Emperor did not say a word. He opened the letter and started reading it carefully. Instantly, the secret chamber turned pin-drop silent and the atmosphere became tense.
The Nine Heaven Emperor became more fearful as he read the letter. In the end, he could hardly sit still. It was written clearly in the letter the method to resolve the Innate Formation by Archfiend Antigonus. It also listed the detailed battle plans for an attack the following day.
'Archfiend Antigonus is indeed something else.' After that, the Nine Heaven Emperor's face changed and he was secretly shaken. 'If it wasn't for the letter, the Imperial Sky Palace would certainly not withstand the attack of the fiend race armies. Fortunately, General Grunt was intelligent and secretly sent people to check out the situation in the fiend race camp. Otherwise, the consequences would be beyond imagination.'
In fact, the Nine Heaven Emperor's knowledge on formations was far less than Ancient Ancestor. He did not even have a clue of how the deployment of formations operated. However, after Empress Nuwa activated the formation, she told the Nine Heaven Emperor the method to resolve it. Not only that, but Empress Nuwa also considered the possibility of Archfiend Antigonus finding out the method to resolve the formation and she also told the Nine Heaven Emperor of the countermeasures.
Under those circumstances, the Nine Heaven Emperor became familiar with the Innate Formation. At that moment, he noticed Archfiend Antigonus' method written on the letter was exactly what Empress Nuwa told him. How would he not be startled? However, little did the Nine Heaven Emperor know that it was not General Grunt who wrote the letter but Darryl.
