They all call me Great Master-Chapter 718 - 715: Alliance I
Silence enveloped the air, and mist filled the scene.
The Soul Reaver flickered with Soulfire.
The excess "Voodoo Power" had been utilized by Marinda on her "Legion of the Dead," and almost instantaneously, the "Legion of the Dead" revealed its true form.
All-encompassing!
Endless!
Although it could only be maintained for a moment, but...
It was enough!
At least when she saw the "Legion of the Dead" that surrounded West Berlin Castle entirely, Yekaterina understood how she should choose.
Clash head-on?
No way.
If before, this lady still harbored such a thought, now she had completely abandoned the idea.
This lady wanted to inspire her subordinates' fighting spirits, not court destruction for herself.
And when inspiring the subordinates' fighting spirit, still could not avoid death...
It was time to compromise.
"I would like to apologize for my previous words.
I truly underestimated your fiancée's strength.
Miss Caesar, truly worthy of being 'Lady of the Eternal Night'."
Yekaterina said earnestly.
Everyone saw the sincere apology on this lady's face.
It was a feeling that came from the heart.
Arthur saw it too.
He saw the feeling of his kind.
Immediately, the young 'Spirit Medium' smiled.
He liked talking to intelligent people and enjoyed collaborating with them, not only because it could eliminate unnecessary trouble but also because it could yield unexpected gains.
For instance, at this moment—
"I hope 'Lady of the Eternal Night's' search bears fruit.
About this mastermind...
Lord Kledos, what do you think?"
Yekaterina asked.
"Very strong, not just in strength, but also in influence.
And, extremely cunning!
We need more manpower to contain the opponent."
The young 'Spirit Medium' was very frank.
Seeing this frankness, Yekaterina nodded slightly.
And the people around, including Yekaterina's three personal maidservants, were somewhat perplexed; they didn't know what their master and the Southern Lost Spirit Medium were talking about.
How come it seemed like the mastermind had already been revealed?
But how did they not know?
The three personal maidservants and 300 cavalry watched as Yekaterina invited Arthur to step aside, without further questions. Under the direction of the three personal maidservants, 300 cavalry began deploying in batches, patrolling—although the Southern Lost Spirit Medium said that all hazards had been cleared, wasn't the mastermind still being apprehended?
"Very loyal subordinates."
Arthur, having stepped aside, turned to look at the cavalry and gave a positive assessment.
"If you speak of loyalty, they are the truly loyal ones.
I have never seen so many undead gathered together.
Your fiancée truly is astonishing."
Yekaterina watched the departing 'Legion of the Dead,' her mouth full of praise, while also carrying a hint of probing.
It was that kind of curiosity one lady has towards another.
Scheming, yet also genuine.
Mixed together, it was a more sincere form of probing.
At least ensuring that the probed would not retaliate.
How to put it?
It was very noble.
And in response, Arthur had already laid down a absolutely solid defense.
As the lady finished speaking, a smile appeared on Arthur's face.
"Having been born into a 'Spirit Medium' family, I dislike the undead and everything associated with them.
Even after I became a 'Spirit Medium,' this belief has never changed, until I met...
Marinda."
Arthur said softly, the smile growing on his lips.
"Was it Miss Caesar who changed your view on the undead?"
Yekaterina seized the opportunity to ask.
The eldest daughter of the Marquess of West Berlin was curious about Arthur and Marinda, and naturally, she wanted to inquire more if the opportunity arose.
Any trivial details could become bargaining chips.
Yekaterina remembered her father's words well.
Thus, the lady quietly and intently watched Arthur.
"No.
I still don't like the undead.
I dislike anyone who associates with the undead, but if it's Marinda...
I can."
Arthur shook his head, speaking his true feelings.
Immediately, Yekaterina felt choked as if she had eaten something that made her stomach feel full.
More importantly, Arthur's words continued.
"What bothers me about Marinda doesn't bother me at all.
So, I know I like Marinda.
No!
It's love.
I love her."
Arthur's already deep eyes shone at that moment, and his entire demeanor brightened as though a beam of light had suddenly descended from the sky.
Yekaterina: …
This lady could be sure, if she wanted to breach the defenses of the Southern Lost Spirit Medium, she could start directly with the 'Lady of the Eternal Night.'
Indeed, she could manipulate the Southern Lost Spirit Medium solely through the influence on the 'Lady of the Eternal Night.'
Such information was naturally extremely important.
However, for some reason, Yekaterina could not feel happy about it.
As Arthur spoke those words, this lady felt somewhat superfluous.
Catherine felt superfluous as well.
Out of fear of her elder sister, Catherine did not leave the secret passage but stood within it.
Although there was some distance, it was easy for this twin sister to clearly hear Arthur's unguarded words.
Subconsciously, this twin sister took a step back.
She felt she should not disturb Arthur and Marinda.
A telepathy-like ability conveyed this feeling directly to Jacqueline.
As the twin sister who had been with Marinda from the start, Jacqueline saw Marinda's dominance.
She saw Marinda's iciness.
She saw that uniquely authoritative posture Marinda held when commanding the 'Legion of the Dead.'
Not just filled with a sense of oppression.
But also a charisma that affected others.
But now—
She saw Marinda's smile.
Under the moonlight, those azure eyes curved, even her golden short hair swayed in a curve with the night wind.
The smile was beautiful.
Even Jacqueline found herself mesmerized by it.
Soon after, the twin sister understood, the words of the Southern Lost Spirit Medium had been heard by the 'Lady of the Eternal Night.'
Or rather...
It was meant for the 'Lady of the Eternal Night' to hear.
And her?
Superfluous.
'I really am superfluous!'
All three daughters of West Berlin inwardly shouted at the same time.
After a good ten seconds, Yekaterina was the first to snap back to reality.
"If we were to pursue them now, do we stand a chance?"
Instinctively, the lady changed the subject.
Clearly, this lady had also spotted the Arcane Ship.
As for the identity of the owner of that Arcane Ship?
She was naturally aware of it.
But this lady was unsure if Arthur really knew.
Or rather, this lady wanted to try her luck to see if she could gain an 'unexpected assistance'!
Undoubtedly, this was another nobly adventurous probe.
In response, Arthur did not answer directly, but counter-questioned—
"Has the Marquess of West Berlin prepared for an all-out war with the Old Lion?"
