Inside the Imperial Palace, messengers constantly reported the latest developments in the battle to Cheng Yu.
"Report!!! Your Highness!! General Kuang Cang has repelled the Heavenly Demons' fifty-third all-out assault! Eighteen Cavern Mystery realm (legendary) generals and three Void Realm (legendary peak) generals have fallen in the line of duty. General Kuang Cang requests that Your Highness send reinforcements to fill the gaps."
With that, the messenger departed at tremendous speed. No sooner had that messenger left than another arrived.
"Report!!! Your Highness!! Heavenly Demons have raided General Chu Chang's grain depot in the southern section of the Outer City District. More than twenty percent of the supplies were lost. General Chu Chang requests that Your Highness replenish them as soon as possible."
"Report!!! Your Highness!! Supplies from the Southern Continent, the Demon Capital, and the Western Continent have arrived!!"
"Report!!! Your Highness!! Qingyun City has been breached!! The defending general has fallen! His deputy sent word! Everyone in Qingyun City will live or die with the city!!"
Watching Cheng Yu handle each report in an orderly manner, You Lian sat restlessly beside him. She suddenly felt utterly useless, as though there was nothing she could do.
During a lull, You Lian rose, cupped her fists, and bowed her head.
"Is there anything I can do? Please give me your orders, Great Sage!!"
Without looking up, Cheng Yu said softly,
"Your task comes later, Princess. There is no need to rush."
Hearing this, You Lian could only withdraw and sit to one side again, stealing occasional glances at Cheng Yu.
She could not help marveling inwardly.
I truly wonder what woman in this world could be worthy of someone like Prince Shen.
Cheng Yu was inwardly speechless. *Didn't your father tell you not to let your mind wander in front
