Chapter 419 - 173: Deliberations in the Court
Disaster Church’s disaster had been eradicated smoothly, and most of the abducted citizens were rescued back, yet there were still some who did not make it to receive Lu Hong’s support and died in the criminals’ experiments.
Questasa, after detailed investigation, recorded all the cases about the disappearance of the citizens and presented them to Konstantin.
It took Konstantin half an hour to put down the file.
Without a word from him, Questasa silently kneeled on the ground below.
Much time passed before Konstantin finally sighed, and said to an official nearby, "Although Lu Kuan’s actions were inhumane, extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures. Penalize him with three years’ forfeiture of salary."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The official nodded, recording the decision.
"Additionally," Konstantin looked towards Lu Hong, who was almost falling asleep leaning against the hall’s column, "the Disaster Church is considerably strong. Baron Yitian, do you have any strategy?"
"First, eradicate the Disaster Church in the other three dimensions," Lu Hong patted his cheeks to awaken himself and continued, "Their headquarters is in the Ambra dimension; we could utilize Ambra’s power to restrain them."
"Your Majesty!" A high official stood up as Lu Hong finished speaking, bowed deeply, and then said, "I think this is inappropriate. Ambra is not a vassal state of the Empire; they are not reliable. Moreover, according to the Black Guard’s investigations, these Disaster cultists originally only operated in the Ambra dimension and had never reached out to the Empire’s dimensions. Hence, I speculate the Disaster Church’s plot against the Empire might likely have the backing of the seven nations of Ambra."
"Bullshit!" Lu Hong swore outright, "The seven nations of Ambra are not as despicable as you think."
