Chapter 201 - 189: Simultaneous Action
The sudden loyalty of the three Black Guards caught Lu Hong off guard, recruiting underlings right under Konstantin’s nose; to plant one’s own people within the Black Guards was a serious taboo for Konstantin.
Facing Lu Hong’s questioning, the philosopher didn’t give a definite answer, only telling him that it was arranged by the higher-ups and that he shouldn’t worry.
"Alright, no matter what, let’s head back to the Sacred Empire’s main base."
Lu Hong and his group of four wound their way through the Endless Forest, encountering the corpses of both Empire and Snow Clan along the way, interspersed with many young participants of the Roland Trial, all dying quite tragically.
The philosopher’s party of three was very strong, not much older than Lu Hong, and already at the Second-Transformation Peak level. With them as escorts, the journey was far too easy.
Four days later, Lu Hong, along with some Roland reservists whom he had rescued on the way, arrived at the brave Snow Army’s headquarters.
The current brave Snow Army was extremely busy, and after confirming Lu Hong and his party’s identities, no one paid any further attention to them.
Lu Hong asked for the location of the commander’s tent and headed straight for it. The Divine Blood River had the chance to mold a god-level powerhouse; there was no reason not to inform Konstantin of this news. If the Beastman Empire were to capture it, humanity would likely face extinction within a hundred years.
"Halt! The Marshal is discussing military affairs with the generals; you can’t go in!" The guard stopped Lu Hong, "Tell me what it’s about, and I will pass on the message later."
"It’s an urgent matter; you must report it to the Marshal immediately. There’s no delay."
