You do not have an Empress!

This one sentence on the letter is stirring Emperor Andrew's bad mood! He must teach this fool who thought that being Emperor for a long time equates to true intelligence, might, and power!

When they entered Cloud Empire, they were immediately met with several soldiers in the boundary preventing them from entering but he and his troops obliterated them all! He beheaded the general and sent the head to the Cloud Empire's Emperor using a high-level messenger.

Every village, town, and city they passed by tried to stop them in coordination with Cloud Empire's soldiers but they defeated them! He ordered his men to collect all the valuable items like gold, silver, food, water, and medicine from every village, town, and city they defeated before turning it into ashes together with its dwellers!

Emperor Andrew had one important order to his soldiers:

"Do not abuse and kill all the women and all the men who closely or even slightly resembled the body frame of my Empress Beatrix! Once you see one, you should capture them and let me check!"

He sculpted several figures so that they could remember. He will personally mince anyone who will dare to disobey! He checked one by one... As usual, most women are expectant! They never saw someone so handsome, so attractive and so powerful like him but after he checked that they are not his Beatrix, he ordered that all of them be silenced and the village, town, or city be burned to ashes!

As usual, he sent the decapitated head of the most influential or powerful person of that place to the Cloud Empire's Emperor. He wants to torture him slowly... He wants to make him crazy from anger, fear, anxiety, pressure, stress, and helplessness... He wants to make him fear even his own shadow as he and his men march closer and closer day by day to the capital of Cloud Empire!

While on the way to the capital of Cloud Empire, Emperor Andrew experienced several failed assassination attempts and sneak attacks but after he and his men successfully killed the assassins, he gladly send more heads to the fool Emperor! He never forgot to instruct his high-level messenger to put the decapitated head in the Emperor's bed, to his bathtub, to his drawer, to his toilet, to his bedroom door, to his study room, to his throne, to the court meeting room, and to one of the food served to him! The more creative and unexpected, the better!

Emperor Andrew and his troops did the same every time they passed by villages, towns, and cities. Some people are instantly killed, others are captured for checking before sending them to the afterlife. The important goods are collected before burning the structures to the ground! He decided to do these cruel things, thanks to the fatuous Emperor of Cloud Empire who boasted he is so mighty and his empire is so great and powerful!

Let me see if you still have the guts once everyone is killed and all of the villages, towns, and cities in Cloud Empire are burned to the ground! Do not blame me, people of Cloud Empire! Blame all your misfortunes on your fool Emperor!

Emperor Andrew is not stingy to his men. He will only get thirty percent of the looted valuables, the ten percent goes to his high-ranking men, and the remaining sixty percent will be equally shared by all of his ordinary soldiers. This encouraged his men to obey him, follow him, protect him, die for him, and kill for him! It is due to extreme fear, admiration, respect, and of course benefits!

Before they reached the capital of Cloud Empire, Emperor Andrew received a secret letter from the Cloud Empire's Emperor apologizing, offering gifts of appeasement, and support to find the two people he is looking for but he just burned the letter and proceed!

Too late... I do not care about your insults but to tell me I do not have an Empress?! You clearly want to die miserably! Do not worry, I will do the honor of sending you and your people to hell!!!

He smiled coldly and mercilessly as the cruel glint in his eyes are more apparent now.

Finally, Emperor Andrew and his troops reached the capital of the Cloud Empire. Surprisingly, this is the easiest among all the battles they encountered because the Emperor of Cloud Empire already sent their best men to stop Emperor Andrew and his fearsome troops! He is no longer the Boy Emperor in the minds and hearts of the Emperor and all the people of Cloud Empire. He gained another title as the Devil Young Emperor!

Cloud Empire sent their best men and best troops only to be slaughtered like cattle and the souvenirs are directly sent to their Emperor who grew fearful and crazy day by day! The officials of Cloud Empire could not blame their Emperor's reaction because the Devil Young Emperor is very cruel, heartless, and ruthless! If they experienced the same hellish things as what their Emperor experienced, they will surely lose their mind and composure too!
