Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 611 Different Locations

Mark reached the meeting room a few minutes later, and the guard standing in front of the room opened the door to reveal all the members of the council present. Hunn, Riger, Matilda, Kaylen, and the other council members representing the various demon races were all seated around a large oval table at the center of the room. Once they saw Mark enter, they all stood as one and bowed to him reverently.

Mark moved toward the large chair at the head of the table, meant for the king, and it wasn't until he sat down that the rest of the council members also sat. There was a large map in the center of the table, showing the demon and Angel continents as well as how much territory had been captured. Mark felt a little bit of pride when he saw that Aragon Island and Myriad Castle were colored in red, showing they now belonged to the demons.

"Is your Queen not joining us for the meeting, my lord?"

Hunn asked this question with a curious look in his eyes, and Mark glanced at him for a moment before saying that she was not.

Hunn nodded calmly as he accepted Mark's answer easily. Hunn had become a lot more respectful of Arit after seeing how well she fought in the battle of Aragon. Hunn was part of the goblin race, and they respected strength above everything else. Now that Hunn knew Arit could handle herself even without Mark being there to protect her, he was more willing to accept her position as Queen.

At the side, Mildred raised a brow when she heard that Arit was not going to be joining them, and a small, unseen frown appeared on her face when she saw the look of respect on Hunn's face as she continued listening to what was being said. It was obvious that the other members of the council were starting to accept Arit as the Queen and Mildred knew that if she didn't do something soon, she would be the only one against that woman. Mildred realized that she had to speed up her plans before things got out of her control.

Mark asked Hunn and Riger to give an account of the battle of Aragon as well as how many of their troops were lost. They both began to lay out the numbers for Mark without missing a beat. Although the battle on Aragon was cut short by Mark's actions in taking over the Myriad Castle, there was still a significant number of casualties in the army. The demons from the northern continent came to the battle with about three hundred soldiers and joined forces with close to five hundred soldiers from the southern continent. But after the battle ended, the demons from the northern continent had been reduced to just over two hundred, while those in the southern continent were below three hundred.

Mark smiled and shook his head as his hand tightened against Kaylen's shoulder, but before he could say anything, Hunn spoke up as well.

"The northern region? I heard the demon lord would arrive from the eastern regions."

"Wasn't it the west?"

"I heard it was from the southwest!"

"The message I received detailed an ambush from the southeast."

All the members of the council suddenly started to speak up in confusion as they tried to understand what was going on. They had all received messages telling them where Mark was going to be arriving on the island from, but each message had specified a different location. Since Mark had told them all to keep the message a secret from the other demons until the battle was over, no one knew that the others had been told something different.

Kaylen kept silent through all this as she felt a bead of sweat going down the back of her neck. Mark's hand on her shoulder tightened even more, and she hid a wince as she felt her shoulder creak from the pressure! When Mark spoke up next, it was with a jovial tone that almost sounded as if he were just playing around.

"Yeah, you all got a different location in your message."
