Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 591: Aragon Island

Do they just see us as disposable war machines that they can resummon and replace once the old one dies?

No wonder they are losing. If they treat the safety of their leader in such a lackluster way, then they’ll never even suspect there’s a traitor among them.

Mark could tell that Arit was trying her best to hold herself back from attacking someone, given how she was openly glaring at them. If not for the fact that the council members already knew Arit didn’t like them, Mark knew they would’ve already suspected something was wrong. Mark was just glad that Arit had enough self-restraint to hold herself back.

Hunn was still talking about the possibility of carrying out an attack on the Aragon island and taking it back from the Angels. Mark could tell that this island was very important to the demons from how much Hunn emphasized they needed to recapture it, and Mark sat up as he finally joined the conversation.

"You said the former demon lord built boats for the raid before he was killed. Were you able to preserve them?"

Hunn nodded and told Mark they were able to keep all twenty ships that the former demon lord built. Mark was shocked by the number of ships and asked Hunn how many demons each ship would be able to carry. Hunn estimated that the ships would hold at least thirty demons each, and Mark frowned as he went silent.

Six hundred demons was not a bad number to take on an expedition, but if they were to take that many demons out of the demon castle, it would leave the castle defenseless since they were so short on strong warriors. It would be better to take only three hundred soldiers and then call for reinforcements from the southern continent so they could carry out another two-pronged attack.

And since they just sent some soldiers out to the outposts they’d just rescued to protect them from any counterattack from the Angels, they were short on manpower as it was. Yeah, it would be best to just carry out another two-pronged attack. Mark started to lay out his plan to the council while drawing on the map in front of him.@@@@

Hunn turned around to give Arit a curious look when he noticed her walking behind him. As a warrior, Hunn was not comfortable with anyone moving behind his unprotected back, so he was a little irritated at Arit’s actions. But he didn’t let that bother him too much as he reached the table and stood across from Mark.

"You wished to discuss something with me, my lord?"

Hunn said this calmly, and Mark nodded as he folded his hands and started to speak.

"For the plan to work out the way I want it to, I’ll need to be absent for a few minutes at the start of the battle. The Angels will be looking out for me now that they know I’ve been summoned, so it’s best if we hold the element of surprise. So, I’ll need you to assume command of the army for the short period that I’ll be absent." Explore new worlds at novelhall.Côm

Hunn was shocked by this and asked Mark why he was going to be absent. The army needed their commander if they were going to do well against the Angels.

Mark shook his head and told Hunn that the army would be fine. From the previous battles that Mark witnessed between the angels and demons, Mark knew that other than the S-tier angels, the demons did not have much of an issue with matching the strength of the angels with their own magic. On a good day, the angels and demons were basically equals in terms of strength.
