Chapter 172 - 163 The Lion Moves
Half a year passed swiftly, and the wounds left by the War of the Mandarin Ducks were gradually healed. The group of elite family members selected by Songxi and Andre, who had returned to the Golden Family, marched alongside the Silver Family toward the Eagle Alliance.
Lei Shan had long been standing quietly with more than thirty subordinates in front of the transmission portal, waiting. Shortly thereafter, Hua En and Songxi arrived with the clan members.
Facing the immensely powerful Lei Shan, Hua En dared not show any disrespect. Compared to this duke at the top of the food chain, Hua En felt like he was just a younger brother. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, saying, "Hua En of the Silver Family greets Duke Lei Shan."
"Mm," Lei Shan responded indifferently, acknowledging the Silver Family’s incorporation into his ranks. He then turned and wrapped his arm around the graceful Songxi, chuckling, "Sweetheart, did you miss me all this time?"
"Of course, I missed you terribly," Songxi nestled in Lei Shan’s embrace, playfully whining.
"If you ask me, you should have followed me to the Eagle Alliance long ago. What’s good about the Empire’s territories? You can’t even fight one battle in three days. Following me, there are plenty of planes waiting for you to conquer in the Eagle Alliance."
Lei Shan rambled on for a while before leading everyone on their journey back.
The distance between the Eagle Alliance and the Empire was incredibly vast. Even without rest, it would take crossing thousands of large teleportation arrays to reach the border of the alliance.
Shortly after Lei Shan’s departure, in a mansion within the Beastman Empire, Small De burst through the courtyard wall, covered in mud and dust, kneeling before Eferot: Eferot was just about to kick this guy, who never used the door, out.
"Your Highness, there’s news from Lei Shan."
