Chapter 389 - 144: Goodbye Caesar
The crux of the problem still lay in the Sacred Empire’s conflict with the sea clans. Lu Hong’s prolonged stay had not solved the troubles brought by the Disaster Church, so there was no need to dwell on it excessively.
Although his mission was not accomplished, Lu Hong still lingered in Umbra for several days before, led by his adjutant, he returned to the long-missed Divine Plane.
The empire now, with its territories on the Continent of God’s Grace reduced by more than half, was constantly under assault by the sea clans, as was the Snowy Region. Thus, the two sides had temporarily allied, supporting each other like mutual horns, barely managing to halt the sea clans’ onslaught.
No sooner had he set foot in Jinrui City than Questasa sought him out and bowed slightly, "Baron Lu Hong, His Majesty is waiting for you."
Lu Hong looked at the two weary adjutants beside him and spoke, "Thank you both. Lord Questasa, please see to their accommodations."
"No problem." Questasa beckoned, and the Black Guards approached, "Take them down to rest."
"At once!"
After arranging for the adjutants, Questasa said, "Baron Lu Hong, your actions in the Alliance were truly astonishing. His Majesty is very pleased. Without you, it’s likely the Alliance would have reached our very doorsteps by now."
"That might be an exaggeration," Lu Hong laughed lightly, "Even if I hadn’t won the championship, the Alliance would still be bogged down in its own crises."
While they talked, the two quickly made their way through the palace and arrived at Xuan Chen Hall.
