Chapter 217 - 204 The Crime One Intends to Assign_2
"I must quickly spread the news of the Naga coming ashore!" Lu Hong knew well the terror of the Naga. Before crossing over, the second version of the game opened with a battle called "The Tide of Naga," where endless seawater poured ashore, nearly drowning the game world. Countless players banded together to barely defeat the final boss, the Naga Queen. In this version of the game, Lu Hong lost his life numerous times; the might of the Naga left a profound impression on him.
Dragging his broken body, Lu Hong, driven by sheer willpower, finally made it to the main road, rushing back to Diyalos City with the help of civilians. Upon seeing the unconscious Lu Hong, the Military Department quickly reported to Hu Buping.
Receiving the news, Hu Buping was extremely pleased. This officer did a fine job, and he’s sure to get promoted once he returns: "Someone! Take this person who delayed the military order to Qu Hai Camp!"
Using the teleportation array within the city, Lu Hong, after being given basic medical treatment, was brought to the Qu Sea Army’s parade ground.
"Wake him up." Hu Buping looked at the wounded Lu Hong without a trace of sympathy.
A basin of cold water poured over his head, startling Lu Hong awake.
Just as he wanted to move, he realized he was tightly bound: "What are you doing?!"
"What are we doing?" Hu Buping sneered, "You violated military orders, failing to reach Haiya City in eight days. Not only that, but the scattered soldiers from the two cities along the way, not one from your squad is to be seen. What do you have to say for yourself?!"
"What do I have to say?" Lu Hong laughed bitterly, "I received intelligence in Diyalos City saying scattered soldiers were gathering at Shallow Breath Lake, so I took my brothers to investigate. It turned out the soldiers had long been killed by the Naga, and my brothers were massacred by the Naga too."
"Hmph!" Hu Buping mocked, "You sure can spin a tale, even bringing in the Naga. If you said it was the Snow Clan invading, I might believe you somewhat. Saying it’s the Naga, don’t you think that’s too far-fetched!"
