Two days after Montgomery returned, there was a huge change in the entire Chaos Coast.
Many of the garrisoned legions were mobilized and rearranged their defenses.
Everyone was taken aback by his actions.
Even though they weren't as monstrous as Jenn, they knew it was a big taboo to make sudden changes. Even though they didn't know when the Undead Army would arrive, they knew that it wouldn't be long.
At this moment, Montgomery suddenly mobilized the troops on such a large scale, which was a little strange.
As for why Montgomery did this, most people didn't know. They only knew that he had been staying in his room for the past two days and didn't meet anyone.
Even the daily affairs were handed over to his deputy to handle, and he seemed to be investigating something.
On top of that, many people witnessed a few well-respected Archbishops entering Montgomery's room. Both parties seemed to have a long discussion before leaving with solemn expressions.
After that, Montgomery began to mobilize the garrisons.
Many people weren't willing to accept Montgomery's order.
After all, they spent a lot of effort to arrange which legion would be in charge of which defense area.
It was as if many people had sat down and spent half a year negotiating a complicated contract, dividing the rights and obligations that everyone could accept.
In the end, the person who signed the contract suddenly tore up the contract and wanted to start all over again. Of course, the others couldn't agree to it.
Therefore, many legions opposed Montgomery's decision. Even though they didn't know what was wrong with Montgomery, they thought that as long as they joined hands, Montgomery would more or less give in.
However, they didn't expect Montgomery to completely reject their request. This time, this Head Knight Commander finally displayed his dignity as the First Holy Knight of the Holy Church. No matter what, those Legion Commanders were influential figures. In the end, no matter how famous they were, they came with their heads held high and left with their tails between their legs.
After returning, they began to adjust the army's defenses.
This surprised the people below. Among these people, there was an army commander with a fiery temper. He said that if Montgomery dared to chase him away, they wouldn't be able to do it!
In the end, after saying a few words to Montgomery, the old man walked out dejectedly with his head down and did what he was supposed to do.
This made many people very curious. They didn't know what method that Great Knight had used.
It was fortunate that Montgomery was a Holy Knight. If it was someone else, they would have suspected that he had used some evil sorcery.
Of course, Montgomery did not use any evil sorcery.
"Sigh …"
Montgomery sighed as he looked at the bustling City of Everwinter. He closed the worn-out Holy Bible and stood up.
An incomparably grave expression appeared on his face.
After that, Montgomery followed Jenn's advice and conducted an investigation. As a result, his hard work paid off. He really found a character that matched his judgment.
In the beginning, Montgomery just followed his own ideas and tried to find a head commander who had sat in the same position as him. In the end, he really did find one.
Although from the historical records, there was nothing wrong with his records.
When he flipped through the records, the record of this legendary figure caught Montgomery's attention. It said that this legendary figure did a huge thing to display the glory of God, and then … there was nothing else …
If this was in the eyes of an ordinary person, perhaps it would be over after a glance. After all, there were many similar things in the historical records.
However, as a member of the Order of Holy Church, Montgomery could immediately tell that there was something wrong with this record.
He was clear that if the person succeeded, the Order of Holy Church would definitely record the result.
This was because it would show that such a great thing was accomplished under the glory of the Nine Saints, which would be beneficial to the Order of Holy Church.
If there was nothing else, it was highly likely that the person had failed.
Who in this world could avoid failure? Even Montgomery was chased to the Chaos Coast by the Undead Army, so it was normal for the person before him to fail.
In fact, there were many Grand Knight Commanders who died from failure in history, so it wasn't a big problem.
In fact, there were many Grand Knight Commanders who died from failure in history, so it wasn't a big problem.
What caught Montgomery's attention the most was that it was described in the records that his predecessor was going to do something unprecedented and unprecedented. This was the most important thing.
The Order of Holy Church revered God the most, so they wouldn't be like the Mages, who often made things sound serious because it would make God seem incompetent.
This was similar to ancient China, where no matter how you accomplished something, you would always say, "It's all thanks to the Emperor's blessings."
If they also felt that this matter was important, it meant that this matter was really important.
Because of this, Montgomery decided to investigate the matter.
In the end, after investigating, the answer he received left him dumbfounded.
This legendary figure actually planned to personally lead an army to the underworld and destroy the entire underworld!
If it weren't for the fact that this person was a Saint in the Order of Holy Church, Montgomery would have thought that this legendary figure was retarded.
Was the underworld that easy to destroy?
Frankly speaking, Montgomery had never had such thoughts in his life. To put it bluntly, even the Gods failed to destroy the underworld, so who else could do it?
After learning the reason, Montgomery also understood that this person must have failed, but no one knew what actually happened inside.
However, Montgomery didn't care. He wasn't an archeologist who had to understand everything.
He only needed to know one thing: whether this person was his enemy or not.
Due to this reason, Montgomery invited a few elderly, well-respected bishops to inquire about this legendary figure.
He only asked about one aspect, and that was his opponent's fighting style.
Just like how a person's fingerprint was unique, every commander's combat style was also unique.
Some preferred silence, some preferred to be active, some were good at striking first, and some were good at defending instead of attacking.
Some were good at guerilla warfare, while some were good at frontal assaults.
Some preferred to use cavalry, while some preferred to use infantry.
These were the habits of every military commander and almost couldn't be changed, which was why Montgomery chose to conduct his investigation in this way.
According to his investigation results, this legendary figure was indeed incredibly powerful. Under his leadership, no matter what kind of demons or monsters they encountered, they would crumble instantly.
This was why the army that he led was known as the 'Hammer of Judgement'.
Montgomery hadn't had a good night's sleep ever since he got the news.
The unique characteristic of the army that he led was that he crushed his enemies in an instant and they couldn't retaliate at all.
It was the same for Montgomery's side. If it weren't for the natural defenses of the Fortress, he would have perished instantly.
This went to show that there was an 80% to 90% chance that the person behind the Undead Army was that legendary figure.
Although Montgomery didn't know how he had fallen, he didn't care about it. The most important thing now was how to stop him.
According to the records, the legendary figure had almost no enemies in the Klein Continent, so it wasn't surprising that he would head to the underworld in high spirits.
Even if he failed in the end, perhaps it was the work of the creatures in the underworld. But the problem was that he couldn't possibly deal with the Devil Kings.
Montgomery felt a headache at this thought. But … he had to continue with his plan.
However, he didn't expect that at this moment, there was an undercurrent in the Everwinter City.
"This is simply nonsense!"
The middle-aged man slammed his palm on the table fiercely with an ashen expression.
"Just because of Montgomery's words, we have to change our defense?
It wasn't easy for us to settle down here and now, we have to leave the Everwinter City?!
To live in the wilderness?
Damn it, who does he think he is?! "
"This is the General's order, Sir."
Hearing the middle-aged man's complaint, the soldier beside him couldn't help but remind him carefully.
Hearing his words, the man let out a cold snort and his expression changed for a moment.
"Hmph, I don't know what that old man is up to. Previously, he patted his chest and said that he wouldn't leave. But now, he's leaving as though he has lost a battle. What's wrong with us?!
I don't know what's wrong with Montgomery to do such a thing. He's crazy! "
"I know a little about this."
Upon hearing his master's grumbles, the soldier hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.
"I heard that Grand Knight Montgomery went to a place two days ago. After returning from that place, he locked himself up and decided to change the defense."
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
"Where did he go?"
"Endless Port?"
"Endless Port?"
The middle-aged man puckered his brows and pondered for a moment. Then, he finally recalled.
"Is there any problem there?"
"This was what happened. Before this, I asked around and heard that the defense of Endless Port has been changed. Now, it's …"
The soldier walked to the middle-aged man's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing these words, the middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened.
"Is this true?!"
"I only heard about it. But the Angus Knights stationed there have returned. I'm afraid it's most likely true."
"Good, very good!"
The middle-aged man nodded with might.
Then, he stood up and clenched his fists tightly.
"I didn't expect that bastard to come here. Since he's here, he can't leave!
I'm going to look for the General and tell him about this!
Let him seek justice for us. Our Country of Glory isn't so easily bullied!! "
