Chapter 2813 A Surprisingly Easy Battle
On Matthew's side, a combination of a surprise attack and overwhelming firepower, along with the destruction of
all the enemy's heavy artillery, resulted in a complete landing in less than half an hour. After several rounds of
artillery fire, more than half of General Weaver's troops were killed or injured. Now, with the protection of the
Graham Family and the crown prince's party, he was advancing without any pressure.
From an initial state of fury, General Weaver had progressed to sweating profusely. The enemy's firepower was
too strong. Even in a head-on battle, he admitted that he would not be able to defeat them. Moreover, the
enemy had launched a surprise attack, and his troops had not reacted in time, resulting in thousands of
casualties in just one encounter. What was even more infuriating was the presence of skilled snipers on the other
side. His men were shot in the head within seconds of exposing themselves. The situation was completely one-
sided.
"General, I've run out of elixir."
"General, I'm out too!"

Upon hearing those reports, he was speechless.
"Ah, shoot! Hurry up and get sammunition from the arsenal. What's the point of telling me?"
He was furious and scolded his subordinates for their predicament.
"The enemy has blown up our arsenal."
The revelation left him momentarily speechless. Without the arsenal, how could they continue to fight? The news
prompted the other subordinates to promptly think about withdrawing. Taking advantage of his momentary
confusion, a few exchanged glances and quietly slipped out of the camp, instantly causing the already low
morale to collapse.
When he regained his senses, the situation was already out of control. Only about twenty remained of the last
hundred or so men around him. The situation was hopeless, and he was powerless to turn it around. By the time
Matthew arrived at the camp, everyone had already been subdued by the crown prince. Tied up on the side,
Daran widened his eyes when he saw Matthew. Was he the young man he had met at Enzo's villa not long ago?
"Daran, don't you recognize me? Didn't you say that a strong wind could easily capsize a boat? Isn't that
prophecy coming true now?"
Daran was stunned and did not respond. He had indeed said that. He had simply disliked Matthew and Solon and
had threatened them with a cold look before leaving. He did not expect retribution to cso quickly. What was
even more unexpected was that this young man was so formidable that he had completely defeated General
Weaver. Upon reflection, he could not resist the desire to give himself a good, solid slap. Why did he have to
provoke him?
General Weaver also did not expect the fierce combat troop's leader to be such a young man.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you attack our forces at night. Do you have a death wish?"
Matthew smiled faintly and approached him.
"You're General Weaver, right? I've heard a lot about you. I'm Matthew Larson! As for why I'm here, | simply want
to retrieve Jefford's belongings and the hostages you've taken. Since you won't give them to me, I'll have to take
them myself."
General Weaver was stunned. "Is that all?"
Oh, con! You destroyed my island base just for these small matters.
With resentment, he glared at Daran, wondering why the idiot had not investigated the enemy's background
before intercepting the ship.
"Matthew Larson, right? Today, | was ambushed by you. | admit defeat. You can take the people and the
belongings."
Having recognized this grudge, he was prepared to seize the opportunity and kill this brat.
Matthew smiled calmly. "We don't need you to remind us, General Weaver. We've already taken them. However,
aside from taking back the task, | want to ask you for a favor."
A momentary pause gripped General Weaver's countenance. His men were either dead or injured, and his
warships had all been blown up by the enemy. What valuable things could he possibly have left? "What is your
favor?"
