Prince's Mansion's grand hall at Kushburn, Max was having a conversation with his two deputies, Parkhurst and Buro. Buro had a robust physique and a dignified appearance. Meanwhile, Parkhurst was tall and slender, resembling a playboy. He had a frivolous demeanor. Yet occasionally, a hint of sharpness flashed through his eyes that couldn't be noticed easily. Max calmly asked, “How is the progress of your feigning retreat?”
Buro stood up and reported solemnly, “In response to Admiral Max's instructions, we have dispatched small forces to engage the enemy in battle, and we deliberately lose each time, feigning retreat. Now, the enemy's vanguard, which is the thirty thousand frontline forces led by Remdik's God of War, Leopold, has been lured into Hellfire Canyon.”
Buro added, “Just now, our vampire warriors, who are ambushing Hellfire Canyon, have already surrounded Leopold and his troop, trapping Leopold within the canyon. However, considering that Leopold is not an easy opponent, our vampire warriors have surrounded him but are not attacking, waiting for your instructions.”
Upon hearing this, Max said with satisfaction, “Well done, Buro.” After saying that, Max looked at Parkhurst again and said lightly, “Parkhurst?” Parkhurst sat in the chair, gently swirling the red wine in his glass, then asked with a playful smile, “What can I do for you, Admiral Max?” Max said, “Remdik's God of War, Leopold, has been trapped. But his strength is extraordinary. To ensure nothing goes wrong, I'd like to ask you to make a trip and take his head personally.
Would you be willing to do so?” Parkhurst chuckled lightly. “It's just killing Remdik's God of War. It's like falling off a log. I'll take on this mission.” Max reminded, “We must win this battle and take down Leopold's head. Only then can we deter our enemies and strike fear into their hearts. So, you cannot afford to fail this time, understand?”
Parkhurst said with a smile, “Don't worry, Admiral Max! By the way, after I slay Leopold, should I wait at the scene and kill the human War Gods who will arrive later?” Upon hearing this, Max was stunned.
“You want to kill other human War Gods after killing Leopold? Could it be that you have the confidence to take down Nathan as well?” Parkhurst chuckled.
