“Yeah, what’s wrong with the people nowadays? Will they only think we have done our best after we are all dead in the war? If we die, who’s going to protect them?” the general agreed angrily.

The general was obviously annoyed by the members of the Black Church. Mo Fan had been busy killing Blue Star Tyrant Titans lately. He had no idea what the Black Church had been doing to mess with the military.

Tuis had killed a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan not long ago, giving the Parthenon Temple some time to catch their breath. That being said, more tragedies were going to happen during the Year of Tyrant Titans. No place was safe in a war, and the military was always blamed for every invasion!

The Parthenon Temple had more power than the national government and the military in Greece, putting the military in an awkward position.

“Just tell us if you need any help. We won’t find any trace of Silver Moon Tyrant Titans any time soon, let alone the culprit of Green Sprouts City,” Mo Fan offered generously when he saw the general had something to say.

“Are you really willing to help us?” the general asked in some surprise.

The military had a lot of Battlemages, but not many were as strong as Mo Fan and his friends.

It was more difficult and inefficient to organize operations when there were so many people. It was not like the military could not handle the Tyrant Titans, but the Tyrant Titans were not brainless. They would just run whenever they saw an army, not to mention trying to set up an ambush for them!

Therefore, they needed the support of small groups like Mo Fan’s team to kill the Tyrant Titans.

“The Sea Demon Snakes are invading the southern coast of Crete. We have learned that the Sea Demon Snakes are from the desert to the south of the Mediterranean Sea. A Cruel Sea Serpent has summoned them here. Based on our investigation, the Cruel Sea Serpent is colluding with a Tyrant Titan we have named the Steel Mountain Titan. It destroyed several rescue ships during the Incident of the Blood Sea.

“The Incident of the Blood Sea? Wasn’t that the incident that made the Cold Prince famous?” Mo Fan remembered.

“Yes, the fresh blood that was shed dyed the shoreline of many countries red with a foul smell, including our Aegean Sea. The Cruel Sea Serpent and the Steel Mountain Titan are both wanted by the Hunter Union, yet no one has managed to hunt them down after so many years. We have been trying to find a way to hunt them down too, but even when our brilliant soldiers found them, none of them came back alive. We have plenty of clues and information about them, yet no one dares to take them on,” the general said helplessly.

The Cold Prince’s masterpiece!

Even though the Red Cardinal had been killed by the infighting within the Black Vatican, people would not forget the Incident of the Blood Sea so easily. Many unknown bays around the Red Sea still stank, even today!

“It seems like I’m quite fateful with the Cold Prince. Fine, we’ll handle the Cruel Sea Serpent and the Steel Mountain Tyrant Titan. Give us the information you have,” Mo Fan said.

“Thank you so much! If you can get rid of them, I believe Tuis’ achievements won’t be comparable to yours,” the general agreed hastily.

The competition between Mo Fan and Tuis was no longer a secret. The Cruel Sea Serpent and the Steel Mountain Tyrant Titan were infamous across the Mediterranean Sea. They were mostly active between the Aegean Sea and Africa, and were a huge threat to Greece’s southern shoreline. The bounty on their heads was higher than the Volcano Titan because of the terrifying incident the Cold Prince was responsible for.

“It seems like we have earned their trust after helping them to take care of the Blue Star Tyrant Titans,” Mu Bai noted as they left.

“Mm, there’s a chance these two creatures were responsible for the destruction of Green Sprouts City. We might become Greece’s national heroes once we take care of them; the passionate ladies will also climb onto my bed willingly. HAHAHA, that Harper is clearly no match for me!” Zhao Manyan said.

The general had to go to the frontline. Mo Fan’s trio followed him to the southern coast of Crete.

The south coast of Crete was always under attack by creatures from the southern lands of the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert, which mainly consisted of Sea Demon Snakes.

“Are these Sea Demon Snakes one of the strong tribes under Euryale’s lead?” Mo Fan asked Apas.

Apas had to hibernate in winter, and had been sleeping for almost half the season. Mo Fan only Summoned her to ask her about the Sea Demon Snakes, yet she was still fast asleep. She could not hear him at all.

“Mo Fan, you are overdoing it. She’s still a kid. You shouldn’t torture her for days and nights…” Zhao Manyan said with an evil grin when he noticed Apas was so sleepy that she could not even stand properly.

“Forget it, go back to sleep,” Mo Fan could only smile wryly.

Mo Fan remembered they were ambushed by a Cruel Sea Serpent after he first kidnapped Apas. Her sister Euryale had sent it after them.

Euryale had already lost an eye, yet she still sent her tribe to stir up trouble, instead of focusing on recovering from her injuries!

“The Sea Demon Snakes must be related to the Cruel Sea Serpent. Let’s head to the front line,” Mu Bai recommended.

Mu Bai’s condition had improved a lot after he consumed the Tyrant Titan’s organs. His improvement showed why the whole of Europe was so eager to get their hands on them!

The trio followed the general to the southern coast of Crete. It had a long shoreline, most likely because the Sahara Desert was across the water. As a result, the southern coast was a common battlefield.

Jade Bay City was the first line of defense for Greece. Even though the war had yet to reach the city, there would soon be chaos when more Tyrant Titans and dragons appeared.

The three reached the front line after traveling a hundred kilometers to the south.

The helicopter brought them to a fortress on an island. A strong smell of rotten fish assailed their nostrils as soon as they landed. Both Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai started coughing.

Mo Fan was fine with it. He had already gotten used to the smell.

“I’m Major General Jessica. I’ve been waiting for you,” a female general in her thirties greeted them sternly.

“Oh, hello, general!” Mo Fan answered for them.

“We are currently at the Three Leaves Island Defensive Perimeter. The battlefield is less than three kilometers from here. I will ask someone to bring you around. You may take pictures as souvenirs, but please don’t post them on social media… I will excuse myself first. I must head to the battlefield.”
