Chapter 404 - 159 Analysis
Under Caesar’s assistance, Lu Hong and his companions were quickly brought back to the Empire’s temporary residence.
Mage Xie Zhongxing dropped a few people in front of him and turned to leave, probably to hunt the Naga Queen.
Xie Zhongxing looked at the youth whose complexion was not very good and said with a smile, "So you must be Baron Yitian, right?"
Although Lu Hong had never appeared in the Empire’s court and had almost never shown his face at Imperial social occasions, and was not even on Imperial territory, this did not prevent the Empire’s nobility from being familiar with him.
"I am Tu Kulu, it’s better for Mage Xie to call me Little Tu." Lu Hong stood up straight. The old man in front of him posed no threat but deserved respect. If it were not for him, the Empire’s defenses would have probably collapsed. He was the true hero who saved the Empire from imminent peril.
"Haha, you’ve come at just the right time. I heard from Caesar that you have quite an understanding of the Sea Tribe. I’d like to hear your thoughts on our counteroffensive against them," said Xie Zhongxing as he pulled Lu Hong through the crowd to the sand table.
Lu Hong first looked around. The heads of several mercenary factions were present, and commanders from all sides, including Silver Wind, were crowded into the tent.
As Lu Hong’s gaze swept over, familiar friends nodded in response. Yan Xinghe and Bai Baiwan, with the relief of having survived a catastrophe, gathered around Hu Fo, whispering to each other but their topic was unclear.
After nodding to Silver Wind, Lu Hong’s gaze returned to the sand table, a high-level holographic 3D imagery constructed by magic.
Due to the special environment of the ocean, the sea surface and seabed can almost be considered a dual battlefield. Focusing only on enemies on the surface could mean being caught off guard by surprise attacks from beneath. Therefore, Xie Zhongxing dispatched extensive reconnaissance and, using the island as a center, continually built an actual model of the sea area.
