Marshall saluted toward Max the moment he saw the latter. “Good day, sir.”
Max uttered, “There is no need for the formality. I came here for two things. I have sent my man to inform you through documents about the first one. We plan to send you to Eurasia and assassinate Nathan Cross, God of War of Eurasia.”
Marshall said with a low voice, “I heard he killed Commander Simone. It would be my honor to kill him for the country. I promise I will bring back his head.”
Max nodded with satisfaction. “There is another thing. This is even more important, and it is classified.”
Marshall stared at Max. Since it was a secret, he would not ask if Max did not voluntarily say it. That was the hidden rule in the army.
Max did not hide it from Marshall. “You are to release Layden Quillen, who is being held in the bottommost level of Demon's Island Prison.
Release him and send him back to his country.”
Marshall was left in bewilderment upon hearing that name.
He immediately replied, “Cayden was the God of War of Eurasia twenty years ago. We managed to seize him after we sacrificed countless elites. Then, we locked him up at the lowest level of the prison. He was the scariest and strongest fighter that has ever appeared in Eurasia in this century. Even though we have him confined here, we feel as if we are locking up a nuclear bomb. Sir, if you let him go now, won't we be releasing a huge threat back into the world?”
Smiling, Max stated, “When you were on leave before this, I came here twice and even met Cayden. Even though he was God of War of Eurasia back then, his heart has become twisted after being held prisoner for so long. For twenty years, he waited for Eurasia to rescue him, only to be met with disappointment. I have made a deal with him. I will release him back to Eurasia, and I will even help him defeat the current Chief Military Governor of Eurasia. I will help him take back his throne and regain his honor. But in return, he will have to listen to Ariarica's orders after he gains control of Eurasia.”
Marshall widened his eyes in shock upon hearing that. Is he going to put a puppet on the throne to control Eurasia?
