Chapter 420: Chapter 174: Seeing Xie’an Again

Due to Dada’s substantial depletion of her Divine Soul’s power, the mission to attack the other three Scourge Church dimensions was slightly postponed, granting Lu Hong a night to spend time with the two beauties.

Early the next morning, Questasa was already waiting at the door.

"Has Miss Dada recovered?" Lu Hong was somewhat surprised.

"I found her some healing potions," Questasa said. "It’s a matter of life and death, not to be delayed."

Lu Hong nodded, "Right, have there been any messages from the sea demon beasts?"

"No messages have returned, but recently, the seafolk have quieted down, bringing long-awaited peace to the defenses of both the Empire and the Snowy Region."

Caesar’s whereabouts were unknown, but it seemed that the Naga Queen had also suffered considerable damage, forcing the seafolk to reluctantly hibernate. Without finding a suitable method to deal with the sea demon beast, Lu Hong believed that the front line’s peace would not be broken.

Questasa said no more and led Lu Hong into the Questasa dimension. Now knowing who their opponents were, the methods of the Black Guard became evident. Soon, they had rooted out these villains hidden among the civilians, and with Lu Hong’s cooperation, the cleanup went off without any mishaps.

After dealing with the Scourge Church followers within the dimension, Miss Dada once again took action, precisely locating the coordinates of the Gray-White Church amidst a chaos of spatial turbulence.

"Let’s go," Lu Hong took the lead, and after a fierce battle, Dada pointed angrily at Lu Hong inside the control room, "You lied to me! This church is no different from the last!"

"I was just guessing, only guessing," Lu Hong quietly murmured, "Perhaps the next one will be different, as good things generally come in pairs."

"Really?" Dada doubted, "Are you sure you’re not deceiving me?"

"Mhm, of course."

Three days later, Dada stood in the control room of the third church, her haggard face devoid of any color.

Staring daggers at Lu Hong, "You lied to me again!"

"I was just guessing, guessing. Maybe the last church will be different."

"Get lost!" Dada kicked at Lu Hong. However, the force rebounded against her, sending her flying and crashing to the ground with a painful cry.

"You’re a bad person, not only lying to me but also bullying me!" Soon, tears began to fall from Dada’s eyes, dropping down steadily.

"Hey, hey, don’t cry. Saving a life is more meritorious than creating a seven-story pagoda; you are a great hero of the Empire," Lu Hong quickly went forward and helped Dada up.

"Don’t touch me!" Dada angrily pushed Lu Hong away, "I don’t want any pagodas, all this mess, you forced me to search for these churches. Do you know I was always on the verge of death?"

"I didn’t know." Lu Hong shook his head and then said, "But if sacrificing your life could ensure the safety of a hundred thousand civilians, I think it’s worth it."

"Hmph!" Dada pouted, kicking him hard on the shin, then limped out of the control room.

The last church was finally breached by Lu Hong after seven days. This time Dada did not enter the control room but was carried back to Jinrui City by the Black Guard.

"Is Miss Dada alright?" Lu Hong asked with concern.

"Her Divine Soul is drained; she needs six months of rest," Questasa honestly reported the situation. "Having Miss Dada locate and lock onto the Scourge Church was a last resort. Although there are Third Transition space mages within the Empire, their understanding of space magic, compared to Miss Dada, is still lacking."

"Is Dada that powerful?" Lu Hong was slightly surprised, reasoning that a Third Transition space mage’s understanding of space shouldn’t be weaker than a young girl’s.

"Yes," Questasa nodded. "This is also a major reason why Vili agreed to take her as a disciple. Miss Dada has an exceptionally keen perception of space magic, like a blessing granted by the Heavenly God. Even Vili has expressed admiration for her unique understanding of space magic."

"She truly is a promising seed for the Empire," Lu Hong patted Questasa’s shoulder, "You all must protect her well."

"I understand,"

Questasa’s natural response made Lu Hong startle.

Then Questasa, realizing the tone was inappropriate, quickly changed the subject, "According to the messages returned, General Xie’an is currently proceeding to the Domoko dimension and expects to conquer it in three days. Will you go immediately, or meet him at the next dimension?"

Lu Hong silently observed Questasa and then suddenly smiled, "I didn’t expect, wow, this person that appears most loyal to Konstantin in the empire doesn’t really seem to be so."

"I can go at once."

Questasa promptly summoned his subordinates and arranged the route for Lu Hong to travel to the Domoko dimension.

The Domoko dimension is quite far from Divine Grace. To get there quickly, Lu Hong boarded the empire’s Endless Throne for the second time.

Today’s Endless Throne no longer had a large garrison; the huge war machine was manned by just a few responsible for opening the portal.

"Open the portal to the Domoko dimension," said the Black Guard, taking out a token provided by Questasa.

"Sir," the squad captain holding the Endless Throne hesitated, "The Domoko dimension is too far, and opening the portal consumes a tremendous amount of energy..."

The Black Guard took out a letter from his pocket and handed it up, "The resources consumed can be obtained from the Black Guard headquarters. Open it quickly!"

Seeing the captain’s understanding, the captain sighed in relief, accepted the letter with a nod, "I’ll handle this right away, but please wait a moment."

Once the captain left, the Black Guard bowed to Lu Hong, "Baron, I will escort you this far. If you need any assistance, you can use this token to contact the Black Guards in the dimension you are in; they will do their utmost to fulfill your tasks."

Lu Hong put away the token, "Thank you."

After parting with the Black Guard, in less than an hour, a terrifying magic fluctuation emitted from the Endless Throne.

"Sir, the portal has been opened. Please pass through quickly," the captain’s voice came from not far.

Lu Hong strode forward, the portal was open, but its size... made it a bit hard to step through.

"Sir, what are you waiting for? Hurry!" The captain, striving to keep the portal open, exhausted himself, his face turning beet red.

Lu Hong once again stared at the not too big nor too small hole, sighed, and thought, Just crawl through it!

He leaped in, and along with a spatial shift, the roaring of war drums thundered through the heavens.

Coincidentally, Lu Hong landed in the middle of the battlefield.

The Endless Throne had recorded a multitude of fixed coordinates of dimensions, but for those unrecaptured dimensions, the captain dared not open these specific coordinates, as they all linked to the enemy’s fortifications.

Thus, Lu Hong’s teleportation location was random, and furthermore, such a long-distance teleportation consumed a massive amount of crystal stones, which normally would not be allowed to be activated.

The two armies were facing each other, and as war was about to break out, the appearance of Lu Hong startled the supreme ruler of the Domoko dimension, who hesitated with his raised hand.

"Your Majesty, you must issue the attack command at once!" A general knelt beside him, urging the Domoko ruler to give the order.

"I’m afraid," the ruler of Domoko still hesitated.

But the general could not stand this, rushed to the throne, grabbed the golden Tiger Talisman, and called out to the million-strong army below, "Today is the day Domoko gains its independence. By His Majesty’s command—attack!"

In an instant, war drums roared, and soldiers riding advanced demon beasts, accompanied by trumpets, advanced with their iron hooves.

Xie’an’s aide-de-camp looked somber, "General, the Domoko dimension has formidable strength, with many elite troops and generals at their disposal. Should we hold back for now?"

"Retreat?" Xie’an said gravely, "When I returned, father wrote to me, saying that this time the border army’s return is to showcase the empire’s spirit and to show those rebellious dimensions just how much power our empire still possesses. We cannot retreat; we must fight the hard battle!"

"But..." the aide-de-camp wanted to say more, but ultimately he didn’t. General Xie’an was known to love his people like his own children and was wholeheartedly devoted to his troops. The pressure that forced him to be indifferent to sacrifices must have been immense.

Xie’an indifferently watched the charging Domoko army, "Meet them in battle!"

On the vast battlefield, though Lu Hong’s arrival was surprising, it did not provoke any reaction from either side. After all, could the strength of one person change the course of a war?

It really could!
