As the last outsider left the briefing room, the space suddenly became quiet and empty. Governor Marcus looked at this change, a hint of satisfaction on his face, as if this quiet environment made him feel more relaxed. He said lightly, "Ah... finally some peace and quiet." This sentence revealed a hint of ease, as if he had thrown away the previous tension and busyness.
John clearly did not buy into the governor's attitude, responding coldly, "Governor, our time is limited! We don't have time to listen to you feeling sorry for yourself." John's words were direct and sharp, expressing a sense of urgency about the current situation and revealing his dissatisfaction with Governor Marcus's relaxed attitude.
John's outspokenness immediately elicited a reaction from the soldiers. One of the soldiers forcefully pushed John towards the table in the center of the briefing room and then loudly warned, "Shut up!" The soldier's actions were rough, and his tone was filled with threats, showing a lack of tolerance for John's provocative attitude.
This scene instantly heightened the tension in the briefing room, revealing the obvious strained relationship between the members of the Deathwing Mercenary Corps and the Governor's office. In such a high-pressure environment, every small action and word could become a spark that exacerbates the conflict between the two sides. But under the leadership of Governor Marcus, it seems that this tense standoff has only just begun.
Governor Marcus faced the tense atmosphere and seemed to want to ease the tension with a relaxed attitude. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hehehe! Relax a little, I've been busy for several days, and the news you brought has made me dizzy. Have a seat!" This remark carried a hint of humor, seemingly attempting to ease the awkward atmosphere that had arisen from John's provocation.
Afterwards, Marcus signaled the soldiers present to let the members of Deathwing's mercenary group sit down. This sudden command made the soldiers look doubtful, as they didn't quite understand why these mercenaries, considered as criminals, would be treated in this way. However, Jojo Vich's glare was like an invisible pressure, quickly dispelling the soldiers' doubts and making them obediently follow through, arranging the chairs and letting the members of the mercenary group sit down.
This scene slightly relaxed the atmosphere in the briefing room, but the members of Deathwing still felt puzzled and wary. After they sat down, they exchanged a glance, silently communicating and trying to find a hint of understanding and a strategy for the current situation in each other's eyes. Marcus's actions undoubtedly foreshadowed the importance of the upcoming meeting, making the members of Deathwing realize that their roles in the impending plan were far more complex and crucial than they had imagined.
Governor Marcus wasted no time and went straight to the point, quickly saying, "Captain Jojo Vich has given you a brief explanation, right? You must complete a mission for us... and we will give you a chance to survive again." His tone was serious and urgent, clearly expressing the role of Deathwing Mercenary Corps in this crisis and the life-or-death choice they faced.
Alixia listened and disdainfully retorted, "Hmph! Yeah, thanks for the explanation, it's so damn clear." Her words were full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction, clearly feeling extremely unhappy and angry about being forced to accept such a mission. Her response was not only dissatisfaction with Jojo Vich's way of explaining, but also dissatisfaction with the whole situation - being forced into a mission they did not want to participate in, with their lives controlled by others.
Governor Marcus faced Alixia's provocation without changing his expression, calmly choosing to ignore the dissatisfaction and sarcasm, and went straight to the point. He casually said, "Oh... I won't waste your time now, after all, there isn't much. I'll just give a brief explanation!" With that, he turned to the projection screen of the briefing, pointed to the information displayed, and continued, "Phoenix City... is where we recently discovered the most subspace energy gathering."
Marcus's words reveal a sense of urgency, seemingly emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and the urgency of the mission. He chooses to ignore Alixia's verbal attacks, demonstrating his calm and determination as the governor, indicating that even in the face of challenges and dissatisfaction, the focus should be on the imminent crisis.
The mention of Phoenix City in the briefing became the focus of the meeting, not only drawing the attention of everyone present but also making the destination of this mission clear. The gathering point of subspace energy implies that it may be an important stronghold of chaotic forces or the site of an impending major event. Governor Marcus's layout clearly aims to utilize the capabilities and experience of the Deathwing Mercenary Corps to investigate and address this potential threat, thereby safeguarding the safety of the planet Yakhanix.
Governor Marcus continued to elaborate on his explanation, his voice carrying an unmistakable firmness: "We have reason to suspect that the Skaven's teleportation channels are coming through the depths of Phoenix City to reach us here. Therefore, that will be their largest nest and the next landing point for them to reach our planet."
The information revealed in these words is extremely important, positioning Phoenix City as a focal point for Skaven activity. Marcus's analysis is based on observations of subspace energy convergence points and research into Skaven past behavioral patterns, pointing to a highly probable conclusion: Skaven are using these special channels to teleport themselves from other dimensions or locations to the planet Yakhanix.
