Thud!
As the words rang through the air, all three Fiend Martyrs bore an expression of remorse as they fell to their knees simultaneously.
The next second, Thoth spoke up in a terrified tone. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. We almost got Darryl Darby at the Great East, but Lunaris General from the Godly Region appeared out of nowhere and took him away at the very last second."
Thoth was wrought with fear. Ganon had tried his very best to go after Lunaris General after he had left with Darryl, but he had lost them.
Following that, the three Fiend Martyrs had gathered. Upon discussion, they decided to return to the Sealed Fiend Mountain to report to Archfiend Antigonus.
What?
Archfiend Antigonus' expression shifted with unspeakable rage. He roared, "You useless b*stards, why do I keep you around? There were three of you, and you couldn't even get one guy?"
Archfiend Antigonus had been in a pretty good mood. That all went to h*ll within a matter of minutes.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty."
Sensing Archfiend Antigonus' rage, Blaise wiped the sweat on his brow. He stammered as he said, "That was what happened. Darryl Darby maimed Thoth with the Red Lotus Fayette, which he had used to get reborn. Then Ganon and I got to the scene, and we had been on a winning streak. However, Lunaris General came out of nowhere with all those Godly Region soldiers—"
Blaise described what had happened in the next few minutes.
Finally, Blaise's expression was one of absolute remorse. "It's our fault for not doing well enough, Your Majesty. Please, punish us as you wish."
Ganon kept silent, and he looked anxious as well.
Archfiend Antigonus let out a long sigh. He said lightly, "I guess you tried your best. Maybe today was just not your day."
Archfiend Antigonus felt helpless. He did not have the heart to punish the three Fiend Martyrs, either.
After all, Darryl had been taken by the Godly Region. Punishing his subordinates for that would not do much.
'What are those fiend folks up to?'
Yvonne frowned in confusion.
Why were they hellbent on seizing Darryl?
