"Yes, sir!" the middle-aged official said.
Poseidon did not pursue the matter further. Just like Pelina had said, Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin had done nothing wrong. It was not a problem for Tuis to be angry. The problem lay with the local officials, who had run away without checking the situation thoroughly!
"In that case, could I trouble this gentleman to conduct a census of the villages, towns, cities, and islands near Crete to make sure that there are no residents in the areas that we have marked in red?" Poseidon asked earnestly.
"I'll do it right away. What about the meeting?" the middle-aged official asked.
"You just have to do this," Poseidon said.
"Sure, it won't happen again!"
The official was relieved. He left the meeting room in a hurry.
Tuis was not happy with the official. He said to Poseidon, "Uncle, shouldn't you punish him severely?"
"Tuis, you heard it too. Half of the officials have fled to the cities inland. This Orlando official might have done something terrible, but he's a lot better than those who have fled. We can't just fire him. Otherwise, many of the officials in Crete will be paralyzed," Poseidon said helplessly.
Dereliction of duty was better than desertion. Crete was currently in a similar situation. Hopefully, the war could end soon. Otherwise, the whole of Greece would be affected.
Tuis glared at Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin after hearing his words.
It was obvious that Poseidon would not punish Jiang Bin severely, since he had already forgiven the official.
…
"According to our investigation, a tribe of giants is attacking Crete. The tribe is centered around the Sea Giants. There might be a few Mountain Giants and Forest Giants too, but we haven't found any giants above the Silver Moon level yet …" the general with long eyebrows told the others with a report.
"Take a look at this electronic map. We've used different colors to track the traces of the Tyrant Titans. Take a look at the purple lines. The army discovered an adult Tyrant Titan around seven months ago. It's estimated to be around seventy to ninety meters tall. It once showed up in Herb Garden Town in the South of the Aegean Sea … "
"We call it the Glutton."
"Five months ago, it seemed to have wandered into the Italian mountain range. The last time we saw it was in an unnamed lake in the Alps. Then, a month before the destruction of Green Sprouts City, it frequently appeared in the ocean fifty kilometers away from Crete. It once attacked an undisturbed fishing boat and ate all the animals and plants on an uninhabited island due to hunger. "
The general with long eyebrows focused on the Tyrant Titan. He also recorded the Tyrant Titan's movements in the past year or so. It was obvious that the Greek military had a special department in charge of collecting information on the Tyrant Titans.
"This is a photo taken by someone in Medicine Garden Town. It's a back view in a foggy day." The long-browed general pointed at the projector and waited for everyone to take a look before continuing, "Now, we believe that this guy should be the culprit behind the sinking of Green Sprouts Island."
Mofan glanced at the back of the Tyrant Titan in the photo. He noticed its back was smooth, with the typical granite-like muscles of a Titan. It did not have the Mark of the Trident that Harper mentioned.
"General, a survivor I saved at the scene said he saw the Mark of the Tyrant Titan on the back of the Green Sprouts Island. Does this Silver Moon Tyrant Titan have the same mark?" Mofan expressed his opinion.
"The Mark of the Trident?" the general looked at Poseidon in confusion.
"Mo Fan, the survivor you mentioned, he's a Magician, and an ordinary citizen. I've asked around a hundred survivors, but none of them mentioned the Mark of the Trident, "Poseidon said.
"Ordinary citizen … fine, he must have lost his mind from the shock," Mofan said.
"Humph, how smart of you to believe the words of an ordinary citizen who wet his pants in fear," Tuis mocked him.
Mofan fell silent. He continued to listen to the general's analysis.
"We now have a clue. The Tyrant Titan seems to be very interested in poppies, and the Sea Monkey is one of its favorite foods. We've calculated the amount of food it eats, sleeps, and moves. It will start eating next week. A Tyrant Titan of its height can eat around four hundred Sea Monkeys in a single meal. If we're not mistaken, it should be searching for food within two hundred kilometers of Crete. If we want to find it, we can start from the places with wild poppies and the Sea Monkey islands. We'll wait for it to show up, "the general said.
"That's a great idea," the Golden Sun Knights complimented.
"We wouldn't have to go through so much trouble if that guy didn't set my Tyrant Titan free!" Tuis scoffed at the general's lengthy report.
Tuis did not have to go through so much trouble to find the Tyrant Titan.
Unfortunately, his first move had been ruined. He had no choice but to start over.
"Tuis, what do you think?" Poseidon asked.
"It's a stupid idea, but it's possible to find the guy you're talking about. I'll let the military and the Blue Star Knights take care of this. Let me know if you find anything. I'll hunt it down, "Tuis said. Tuis glanced at Mo Fan provocatively after finishing the sentence.
Mofan placed two apples together with a banana in the middle for Tuis to see.
"How rude!" Tuis cursed.
"Alright, we'll follow the general's instructions. I need to head to North Aegean. A Violent Yaron has appeared there. It must be the Tyrant Titan's doing. I'll leave it to you," Poseidon said.
"We'll do our best," the general said.
…
After leaving the meeting, Mofan saw Mubai taking notes seriously. He asked, "What do you think, Advisor Mubai?"
Mu Bai listened attentively and came to a rough conclusion. He said, "That's right.
