Thinking of this, Brando could not help but glance at Bai's shadow.
He thought to himself, and what exactly is this woman thinking?
She seemed to be eager for him to fight with the Emperor of Madara. Although it was said that she wanted him to get the Nature Orb and the Mercury Staff, Brando, who had been fooled many times, did not believe in this nonsense.
"What about the motive …"
He remembered the scene when he left the elemental barrier, where he saw Bai's soul fusing into the strange arrangement of the automatons floating in the sky dozens of kilometers away from Wohnde.
Bai's current state obviously had something to do with the situation at that time.
Previously, when he obtained power from the elemental orb, he clearly felt that the authority came from the law of Tiamat and Martha. Therefore, he suspected that Bai had seized Martha's authority, because the strange automatons were obviously part of the law of Tiamat.
But Haku denied it, although he wasn't sure if he was telling the truth.
"What?"
Bai noticed Brando's gaze, but did not care too much. "Are you still suspicious of me?"
"It's hard not to be suspicious." Brando said while paying attention to the movement of the undead. What made him feel a little strange was that although the undead army had surrounded them, they were not willing to make a move for a long time. This was somewhat different from the character of the Emperor that he was familiar with.
In his impression, Bai should be a very decisive person.
"I can tell you the truth," Bai replied. "But you have to answer a question of mine."
"It's not easy to confirm that the truth provided by the Lady is the truth." Brando could not help but mock Bai when he recalled how Bai repeatedly lied to him in the elemental barrier.
"That's fine. I can first provide you with what I know. If you think that what I said is true, you have to answer my question. Conversely, you can ignore me, right?"
"You're doing this again?" Brando could not help but be angry when he recalled the experience in the elemental barrier.
Fortunately, the two of them were communicating telepathically. Outsiders could only see the slight change in Brando's expression, but could not hear the content of their conversation.
"It's effective, isn't it? The choice is up to you," Bai replied without changing his expression.
Brando gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. Anyway, he had made up his mind not to answer. No matter what he said, as long as this woman was telling the truth, then it was equivalent to him earning for free. Anyway, she had lied to him more than once in the Elemental Barrier, so they were even.
He silently looked in the direction of the undead army. The Death Moon Flag that represented His Majesty the Emperor had returned to the center of the army. If the undead were to make any moves, it should be within the next hour and a half.
He extended his hand and summoned Cinna, the Frost Chant, into his hand. When it came to large-scale attacks, the only thing he could rely on was the Water Holy Sword. However, this thing would not be able to differentiate between friend and foe. Back at Fathom Harbor, if it were not for the fact that he was in the witch's dream, he would have blown up half of the harbor.
The reason why he had the Silver Elves leave was firstly because he wasn't sure of the emperor's intentions, and secondly, it was so that he could unleash his full potential.
He had made up his mind to teach the other party a lesson so that it would be easier for the next 'negotiation'.
Incirsta was still frowning at the side. Brando glanced at this guy and couldn't help but feel proud. He knew very well that this future star of Madara's family had a close relationship with the queen, so he deliberately mentioned the other party's previous promise so that he would have no time to think about other things.
Otherwise, with this guy's intelligence, if he were to guess his thoughts and seize the opportunity to remind the emperor, then he would be completely done for. Fortunately, with the advantage of foresight, he once again took the initiative in front of this genius of Madara. Tarkus seemed to have noticed something, but interestingly, this vampire did not point it out.
Bai saw that Brando didn't say anything, as if she didn't care what he was thinking. She said to herself, "My Lord, do you want to know what that person's plan is?"
Brando looked at Metisha's sister with a little disdain. "Her Majesty wants me to help her deal with the undead. Maybe she wants to kill two birds with one stone. Miss Bai, you're not going to use this information to exchange with me, are you?"
"Of course not, this is just a bonus. Aren't you curious about what she's going to do?"
"I can guess that she's the one who planted people in the undead fleet," Brando sneered, "but I won't let the emperor down. I'll give her the biggest surprise."
"Angering her won't do you any good, Count. I have to remind you." Bai replied with a straight face.
"Why?"
"Because of the mercury staff."
Brando was silent for a moment and shook his head, "That's another matter. I don't plan to talk about it with her for the time being, but I will never show weakness in front of the emperor. I know her style, or Erouine will never have a day of peace."
"You know her very well," Bai said curiously, "You seem to be very interested in the undead."
"There's an old saying in the Nine Phoenix," Brando replied.
"You're saying that no one is allowed to sleep beside the bed? I've been to the Nine Phoenix before, so I know a little about the customs there. But as Erouine's subject, I think you're overreacting. "
"I don't want to talk about this, Miss Bai. You should be answering me, not the other way around, right?"
Bai raised her head and looked at him.
"Then what do you want to ask?"
Brando was about to answer, but at that moment, flags were raised in the undead army, and the crystal towers for communication lit up again.
A green net of light appeared in the darkness, and the undead army was immediately filled with dots of green light.
This was undoubtedly the signal to attack.
But to everyone's surprise, it wasn't the undead army on the ground that made the first move, but the Jackdaw fleet in the sky. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through the dark fleet. One of the battleships took the lead and fired its cannons. The flash of magic crossed a few thousand meters and arrived above Brendel and the others in an instant.
However, the ray of light did not hit Brendel and the others. Instead, it was blocked by a transparent barrier far away from them. The barrier deformed slightly under the impact of the ray of light, but it returned to its original state in an instant.
This time, it wasn't just Brando's people who were shocked. Even the Undead Lords were shocked. In their minds, Dai Lin, the Lich King, wasn't as loyal to the ruler with the mercury staff as they thought.
The Undead Lords weren't fools. They immediately looked at their cold and silent queen, and more or less had some guesses in their hearts.
But to the person involved in this incident, the Lich King, Dai Lin, wasn't as angry as they thought. Although he was more or less unhappy that his subordinates acted without permission, the undead fleet wasn't his private property. As mentioned earlier, this fleet was formed by a group of Necromancers and Liches. Although Dai Lin was its commander in name, most of the time, the fleet did what they wanted.
Rather than saying that this was a well-organized fleet, it was better to say that it was a large pirate fleet.
So when the corvette opened fire, Dai Lin, who was observing the situation on the battlefield through the crystal ball, was a little unhappy. But he quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction and ordered the fleet to open fire.
He could delay the time for the fleet to enter the battlefield, but he couldn't openly disobey the mercury staff's orders. Although he was arrogant, he understood that the woman now had half of the forces in the Sea of the Dead Moon. She was afraid of the undead, but that didn't mean that she could ignore her dignity and be challenged.
Dai Lin was demonstrating to the central government of the Empire because of the blood staff, but he also understood that this demonstration couldn't be overdone.
As for attacking a small group of humans, Dai Lin would never dream of how dangerous it would be. What kind of joke was that? That group of humans that he had surrounded had no more than a hundred or so people at most. Even if every one of them was a peak law expert, they would not pose any threat to his fleet.
No matter what, this was still a main force of the fleet.
As for the possibility that the hundred or so people were all supreme beings, Dai Lin didn't even consider it. After all, he was a Lich, not a brainless zombie.
It had to be said that the Lich King had at least guessed the beginning, but it was a pity that he didn't guess the end. If the Lich King of Losart knew that he had entered the battlefield too late and missed out on something important, perhaps he would be more careful with his orders now.
When the undead fleet was enveloped in a dazzling magic light, the woman with the mercury staff raised her head. Her pitch-black eyes happened to reflect this dazzling scene.
She couldn't help but shake her head.
Brando was no longer shaking his head. In fact, he was already cursing in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't expect the woman to plant people in the Jackdaw Fleet. In fact, when the corvette opened fire, it was all within his calculations. That was why he had set up defenses early and blocked the magic attack dozens of meters away.
But never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the legendary Lich King would be so stupid. When he saw the entire Jackdaw Fleet firing in unison, the Lich King felt like he was going to kill someone.
No matter how scattered the Jackdaw Fleet was, it was still a main force. When they started firing, Brando wasn't confident that he could take on an entire fleet while attacking the undead below.
Right now, he only had one choice.
He had to immediately attack the Jackdaw Fleet and make them shut up. After all, if they didn't shut up, he would be fine, but the people around him would be.
