Chapter 532 Chaos
"Oh, I see..."

"Oh, I see..."

"Ah~ I understand..."

"No wonder..."

"You know so much..."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

"You can't just say things like that..."

"That makes sense." (Nods deeply)

This is what Milo was like throughout the entire process.

It was truly an amazing scene.

The two sides, who should have fought to the death upon meeting, started reminiscing about the past, completely ignoring King Kurans standing to the side.

What surprised Milo was that Marston was a real chatterbox. Perhaps he thought he had a talent for negotiation or some kind of linguistic charm. The more Milo agreed with him, the more he couldn't stop talking.

In the end, they basically spilled out everything they should and shouldn't have said.

Heaven knows just how little communication skills this count from the shattered floating city possesses, yet his desire to speak is so intense.

……

After Marston had been talking on and on for a long time...

Milo finally had a chance to express his opinion.

He blinked, indicating that he had just received a bit too much information.

After all, it's all very valuable information.

“You know, I have always admired people like you, who are so generous in sharing their knowledge with their enemies and explaining the ins and outs. I express my deepest respect for you, in the name of the Golden Tree.”

"Secondly, everything you just said is actually feasible, very feasible, and it's clear that you've also blocked the hearing of everyone else present, including our King Kurans and your own retinue. That's good, it shows your sincerity, I can feel it."

"This way, the secrets of the restricted area won't be revealed. That's good, that's good."

Milo's words brought a smug smile to Marston's face, as if he felt that his strategizing was very clever, avoiding a major conflict with just a conversation, and even giving him a sense of superiority that everyone was being manipulated by him.

But who is Milo? When has he ever played by the rules?

...

"Hmm... but there's a problem here, a very small one, Count. Let me sort it out for you. You see, the first wave of Black Blades are all dead, and now you've blocked the sight and hearing of everyone nearby. So, the only person left who knows all these secrets is you, right?"

After Milo finished speaking, they remained silent for approximately 1.42857 seconds.

Marston then emitted the following strange noises:

"Hmm?" (Question)

"Hmm, that was a miscalculation." (I wholeheartedly agree)

……

...

Villains who explain the ins and outs of things have always been Milo's favorite type of character, especially idiots like Marston, who doesn't utter a single word of nonsense, only revealing valuable information and bombshells. To be honest, he's so sincere that Milo almost feels embarrassed to kill him.

In particular, he so thoughtfully shielded himself from the sight and sound of other unrelated people present, completely isolating himself.

I've never seen such an understanding and considerate villain.

Of course, once Marston recovered from his smugness, he finally realized what a stupid thing he had done.

……

...

Thus, a fierce battle became inevitable.

In fact, all of Marston's offers were very reasonable and tempting, and any negotiating partner who was less willing to provoke a dispute would probably have made a deal with Marston.

But Milo's purpose in coming here was to cause trouble, so why would he compromise to "avoid trouble"? He's here to create trouble.

Furthermore, given his personality, how could he possibly keep someone like Marston, who possesses so many secrets and holds a high position in the temple, alive as a hindrance?

A dead old fox is a good fox, after all.

……

Fighting?

"The fight started!"

The temple attendants present, along with King Kurans, his priests, and the headless fat guards, had just recovered from their daze when they saw the dark shadow and the golden staff shoot straight into the sky from the huge ship, crashing onto the distant sea and creating waves several meters high.

The good news is that neither side intends to fight on the ship.

Otherwise, the residual force from the first collision alone would have been enough to shatter the ship.

It seems Marston still knows how to cherish his possessions, and Milo had already promised Chief Pinkerton that he would keep the ship to send the Cats Squad out of Selphs Harbor, so the people on board were spared.

Of course, a chaotic battle soon broke out at the port and docks.

Why is it called a chaotic battle? Because in addition to the local Emerald Temple priests, there's the King's Fat Guard, brought from the pedestrian street, and also the retinue from the Golden Law Temple who have come from afar. The former two are naturally there to protect King Kurans, while the latter, the Law Temple retinue, are there to protect the ships.

On the other side was Dillasho and his entire cat squad.

This made the situation very chaotic.

Since the king's guards and the local priests did not know who was threatening their king, it was only natural that they had to rescue King Kurans from that damned cabin at this critical moment.

Meanwhile, the Golden Law Temple was also unsure who was threatening the ships. After all, the conversation between Milo and Marston had been cut off, and no one except King Kurans himself knew about the arrival of the Shadow. This caused confusion, and the Golden Law Temple assumed that the locals were trying to forcibly seize the ships, which is commonly known as double-crossing.

"I urge you to surrender immediately. If you dare harm my king in the slightest, the Temple of the Golden Law will be our mortal enemy from this day forward!!!"

The Emerald Priestess, who served "Nath Horsas," unleashed dazzling runic magic and threatened the Law Clan aboard the ship.

The people of the Golden Law were also bewildered. The sea was raging with huge waves, and the brains of the people in the cabin were almost shaken to their core. Just stabilizing the ship was a struggle, and the key problem was that they couldn't find King Kurans. The "greedy" old man had been clinging to those death crystals from beginning to end. With every rocking of the ship, those heavy boxes buried him directly, and they really couldn't find him for a while.

The spells and blessings used by the two groups, the Emerald Temple and the Golden Law Temple, were easily distinguishable. In the twilight sky, which was not yet fully covered by the flowing light, the brilliant green on the shore and the dazzling golden runes on the ship decks formed a very clear division between their factions.

It was precisely because of this that Dillash, the guy blessed by the Golden Tree, launched indiscriminate attacks, which directly turned the situation into complete chaos.

The Selefis camp erupted in chaos:

"The Golden Temple is going too far! Don't they know whose territory this is?!"
