Chapter 674 - 161: War Discourse
Lei Jinjin, who had become a fervent admirer of Lu Hong, was thoroughly impressed by his impressive achievements of the past two years. A year ago, at Lu Hong’s request, Lei Jinjin returned to Nansha to seek a partnership with Lei Sai.
Surprised by the young Clan Leader’s military record, Lei Sai gladly accepted the proposal for cooperation, also arranging many skilled people from Nansha to go to the Xiao clan to learn skills and become warriors.
Over the year, the relationship between Nansha and the Xiao clan grew increasingly close, leading them to jointly devise a strategy to eliminate the obstacles lying between their two clans. The Xiao clan would attack Viscount Xisi, while Nansha would launch a surprise attack on Naton.
Lei Sai’s visit to the Xiao clan this time was to finalize the timing of their offensive with Lu Hong.
The more Lei Sai interacted with Lu Hong, the more he realized his talent.
After the battle at Nansha, where the Human Race triumphed, the population of Nansha Town surged as countless tribes of the Human Race came to join willingly. Although Lei Sai, a saint of the Human Race, had little experience in commanding an army of over a hundred thousand, Lu Hong was different. Having seen many major battles between superpowers in his future life, where the armies often started with millions, Lu Hong was unfazed by a battle involving just a hundred thousand or so. Even if there were some minor flaws in his command, it did not prevent Lei Sai from admiring him.
Lei Sai liked Lu Hong, and so did Lei Jinjin, which brought about a father-daughter relationship filled with kindness and filial piety.
A month earlier, Lei Sai had approached Lei Jinjin, asking her if she would be satisfied with Lu Hong as her husband.
Lei Jinjin blushed on the spot, responding delicately, "I’ll leave it all to Father to decide."
It must be said that Lei Sai hadn’t seen his daughter in such a state for many years, and it instantly shattered the old father’s heart.
Although both father and daughter were willing, Lei Sai found the topic too daunting to broach. After all, he was a saint of the Human Race—he couldn’t very well beg someone to marry his daughter, could he?
So, Lei Sai came up with an excellent plan: to drop hints to Lu Hong, subtle at first, but gradually more overt.
