"Something isn't right."
Marcus slammed his palm on the table, causing the sea chart on it to tremble.
The spiritual flames in his eyes flickered and burst into sparks from time to time, just like the fluctuating emotions of its owner.
As a Great Lich, Marcus wasn't a fool. Although Tinidor's evaluation of him was that apart from loyalty, he was the weakest among the four generals under Klein, it didn't mean that Marcus was a fool.
But that didn't mean that Medes was a fool. On the contrary, his mind was no worse than the other three.
Marcus had figured out the situation on the front line.
The Holy Church didn't have any problems, but the problem was in Endless Port.
But this was also something that Medes could not figure out. In terms of consumption, Endless Port's resistance was obviously the strongest. Even Everwinter's was slightly inferior.
Besides, even though Everwinter's resistance was fierce, it was still within Marcus's expectations.
On the other hand, Endless Port was extremely strange. Not only did they consume a lot more energy, but their counterattack was also extremely fierce.
Until now, Marcus still couldn't figure out where the enemy's artillery came from.
But if he were to investigate, even the bone dragon spirit had been brainwashed by the enemies and turned against him. What should he do?
Although Vampires and Specters were good scouts, it was a pity that the sea was their natural enemy.
Besides, Medes couldn't find a way to get them to Endless Port. After all, the defense there was simply insane. He had already consumed hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers, but they still couldn't break through the enemy's first line of defense.
Although the situation in Everwinter was similar, Marcus was aware that there was a huge difference.
It was because Everwinter had the Holy Barrier, which was one of the trump cards of the Holy Church. With it, anyone could stop the Undead Army, not to mention Montgomery.
However, Endless Port wasn't within the range of the Holy Barrier, but it was still able to stop the Undead Army. Marcus couldn't figure it out.
Of course, Marcus didn't know that in the beginning, Montgomery had mentioned to Zayen whether he should set up a Holy Sanctuary in his territory for the sake of insurance. However, as a demon with a firm stance, Zayen naturally rejected Montgomery's proposal.
Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to tell Montgomery that he was a demon and didn't like the Divine Sanctuary. Instead, he found an excuse to say that the fluctuations from the artifact would affect his Sky Fortress. Although this was a complete lie, Montgomery still hadn't seen the so-called Sky Fortress that Angus mentioned before. However, after Zayen killed the army of the Country of Glory, Montgomery had some understanding of his opponent's strength. He knew that Zayen didn't need his help at all, so he didn't hold back.
Moreover, in terms of geographical location, Endless Port was indeed like an appendix, where it didn't matter much whether it was cut off or not. Moreover, one less Holy Barrier meant that the power of the Holy Barrier would increase.
Therefore, in the end, Montgomery listened to Jenn and didn't set up the Holy Barrier.
But it was a pity that Marcus didn't know about this, which was why the situation seemed strange to him. Previously, the intelligence indicated that the Holy Church had set up their defensive line around the Chaos Coast. In fact, that was indeed the case.
But now, Endless Port was in the lead, while the other four points were relatively ordinary.
Marcus couldn't figure it out. He had been staring at the entire sea map for several hours and wished he could snap his head off and put it back on.
But no matter how Marcus looked at it, he couldn't figure out the intention of the Holy Church to place so many troops in Endless Port.
It didn't seem like a sneak attack. After all, even a fool could see that Endless Port was powerful. Without Rhode's order, Marcus would have no choice but to hide.
He had never seen an ambush to this extent.
But it didn't seem like it was to contain the Holy Church.
Because Endless Port and Everwinter had no relationship, even if Marcus gave up Endless Port, he was confident that he could take down Everwinter …
Thinking of this, Marcus felt that his head was about to explode.
After analyzing it, Marcus felt that he had no way to solve this problem.
If the other three were here, they might give it a try, but Marcus wouldn't do so.
Because he knew that he wasn't strong in military affairs, but he could understand and execute Rhode's orders to the greatest extent.
After all, the other three were famous figures in the underworld. Although they would follow Rhode's orders, they would always add in their own understanding.
Just like the current predicament, if it were the other three, they would try to solve it using their own methods.
But Marcus was different. He would only faithfully and completely execute Rhode's orders. If he couldn't do it, then he wouldn't be able to do it.
And Marcus knew very well that this was the reason why he was treated differently by the Lord.
Generally speaking, at their level, they were capable people, so they naturally wouldn't want their superiors to look down on them.
But Marcus was very clear that Rhode was eccentric. If you did what he said and encountered a problem, you would be able to understand.
He could understand if he couldn't solve it, but if he encountered a difficult problem and had to find a way to solve it, then that Lord would be unhappy because he would think that you didn't trust his judgment. If you didn't trust his judgment, it meant that you didn't trust his strength. If you didn't trust his strength, it meant that you weren't loyal to him. If you weren't loyal to him …
Just like Tinidell, Marcus knew that she was absolutely first-class in terms of talent, strength, and wisdom.
However, Her Royal Highness's EQ was worrisome. Although she was the same as him, she always carried out the mission given by that lord and completed it well.
But Princess Tinidell did things according to her own temperament. She did whatever she wanted and didn't follow Rhode's orders at all.
Because of this, Rhode didn't have a good impression of her.
Later, Marcus heard that Tinidell was sent to search for something and then disappeared … Thinking of this, Marcus couldn't help but shake his head.
Although he also admitted that things would be much easier if Tinidell was here, it was useless to think about it now.
"Sir Marcus."
At this moment, Marcus saw a Banshee quietly appear in front of him.
"What's wrong?
Didn't I tell you not to disturb me? "
Marcus frowned upon seeing the Banshee in front of him.
Upon hearing his words, the Banshee hurriedly bowed to Marcus in fear.
"I'm sorry, Sir. But I have to tell you that the emissary sent by Her Majesty has arrived.
She said that she can help you solve your current predicament. "
"Emissary?"
Marcus froze for a moment when he heard the Banshee's message.
I haven't reported to Rhode yet. How did something happen?
Could it be that Rhode already knew that there would be a problem?
Or … But before Marcus could figure it out, a voice sounded out of thin air.
"It seems like you have a headache now, Master Marcus."
"This voice is …"
Upon hearing this voice, Marcus turned around hurriedly and headed toward the source of the voice. Quickly.
The spiritual radiance in his eyes became brighter. In front of Medes, a beautiful and alluring woman was walking towards him.
The violent winds and waves of the Chaos Inner Sea didn't seem to be an obstacle to her at all. Even when she walked on the swaying deck, it was as though she were walking on flat ground.
She stared at Marcus with a smile in her eyes, as if the one standing in front of her wasn't a Great Lich, but a lover she had missed for a long time.
She wore a luxurious fur coat and a scarf woven from white fur wrapped around her neck, making her look like a helpless, charming, and adorable little bird.
The tight curves under the luxurious clothes were enough to make any living man go crazy. But it was a pity that no one here knew how to appreciate this kind of beauty.
She slowly walked in front of Medes and opened the fan in her hand to cover the corner of her mouth. She revealed a strange smile and stared at Medes in front of her.
"You are …!"
Upon meeting the woman's gaze, Marcus was taken aback. He hurriedly lowered his head respectfully.
Although he had never seen her before, Marcus could almost guess her origin just from the expression on her face.
That was why he immediately lowered his head respectfully to express his respect.
"I didn't expect you to come in person, Sir. Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier!"
"Don't be so polite, Marcus."
Upon hearing Marcus's words, the woman covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled.
Then, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
"It's just that I heard that my naughty and cute little brother is also here, so I came here to see if there is anything I can help with … Now it seems like …"
At this point, the woman paused on purpose.
"… It seems like this will be a very interesting game …"
