Marshall Albert was the first to notice Makaze's behavior and was able to guess the blade's intentions. He brandished his longsword and clashed with Wrath, pushing him back a few steps before saying
"The Cloud Sea Sect will make sure your 'King' will be given a deserving punishment."
In response, the sin spat on the ground and retorted
"Hah! I'd like to see you try!"
In reality, the Marshall truly wanted to acquire the orb and bring it back to his sect, however, he was unlucky enough to meet a tough opponent who wouldn't budge. Furthermore, the longer he fought Wrath, the more disadvantageous the situation became.
The Marshall was the strongest person on the battlefield but he never expected to be stopped by one of the seven sins. If he knew beforehand that Isadore will side with Arthur, he would've brought another Marshall.
