Chapter 490: Chapter 244 Visit

A battle of such magnitude that it was bound to be recorded in the annals of the empire unfolded under Konstantin’s instruction, which saw the Black Guards casting precious magic recordings into the Star Sea.

The "triple axe" technique Lu Hong deployed on the battlefield caused a huge uproar, and many planes shuddered at the thought of facing such tactics themselves, fearing they would lead to their complete annihilation!

Initially, numerous forces and families held respect for Lu Hong, but the appearance of the "triple axe" made them wary. As long as this fellow remained within the empire, they would have to carefully weigh any thoughts of rebellion.

Of course, the third display of Lu Hong’s Bloodthirst was so immensely powerful that, not being part of the Sea Tribe without access to ancient records, they could only speculate about it with trepidation, seeking to glean countermeasures based on the Sea Tribe’s reaction.

However, how could a purely supportive skill like purification counter such a formidable attack?

After watching the magic recordings, the great families expressed their skepticism, collectively suspecting that the Skill of Purification might mitigate the technique’s power, but complete suppression was impossible.

This significant disturbance also caught the attention of other races, marking Lu Hong as a formidable enemy.

The Sword Saint Bu Sheng nearly bled from clenching his fists so tightly after watching the magic recordings, full of regret. He truly regretted not dealing with Lu Hong outside Hanguguan Pass, sparing the Snowy Region from a great future trouble.

Despite the current cooperation between the Sacred Empire and the Snowy Region being a matter of circumstance, if the Sea Tribe retreated, the friendly relations between the empire and the Snowy Region would shatter in an instant, reverting to a state of hostility.

"Your Majesty," the Supreme Poison Master approached Bu Sheng, consoling him, "Although this young man shines brightly, ’a tall tree catches the wind,’ and I believe many forces have marked him for elimination. The empire’s seven towers have already suppressed those who cannot breathe freely, and they will absolutely not allow another Tower Master-level power to arise."

Bu Sheng took a deep breath, "The Supreme Master speaks the truth. Even if this Baron Yi Tian does grow to that extent, I trust that our Snowy Region will still produce a valiant hero to contend with him and become a hero of our people!"

"You are correct, Your Majesty," the Supreme Poison Master nodded with satisfaction, then added, "The Snowy Region’s Sword Saint will emerge from seclusion in four months, leaving the harsh cold behind to assist Your Majesty in combating powerful enemies."

"Oh?!" Bu Sheng’s face beamed with joy. The Snowy Region’s Sword Saint had never left the harsh cold before, and now he had been persuaded by the Supreme Poison Master to return. The reappearance of such a top warrior from the Snowy Region would certainly be a strong pillar of support.

"Supreme Poison Master, you have toiled greatly this time. Unfortunately, there is nothing that you lack, and I can think of nothing with which to reward you."

Upon hearing Bu Sheng’s words, the Supreme Poison Master knelt down and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler of our Snowy Region, and it is the mission of the thirteen Supremes to assist you in strengthening our people. This is my duty, and I require no reward."

"Clear distinction between rewards and punishments has always been my custom. Even though I do not know what you currently lack, this promise remains open-ended," Bu Sheng helped up the Supreme Poison Master and said, "Should you ever need anything, just speak the word, and I will fulfill it with all my might."

"Your humble servant greatly appreciates Your Majesty’s grace!" the Supreme Poison Master did not decline, gratefully accepting the offer.

After these exchanges, Bu Sheng inhaled deeply, as if he had reached a firm decision, and asked the warriors in the great hall, "I wish to set out on a mission to the Sacred Empire before the Sword Saint concludes his seclusion. Who is willing to accompany me?"

"Your Majesty, what business do you have in the Sacred Empire?"

At this moment, many ministers jumped out in objection, "Your Majesty is a holy ruler of our Snowy Region. Humans are cunning by nature. If they betray us, it could lead to disaster! You absolutely must not put yourself in jeopardy. If a mission is to be undertaken, it is our responsibility as your ministers. Please reconsider your decision, Your Majesty."

Before Bu Sheng could speak, the Supreme Poison Master said, "Gentlemen, I think His Majesty’s decision is wise. Although the Sea Tribe has been driven back, they still pose the threat of returning. Moreover, the extraordinary techniques displayed by the Imperial Baron might deter the Sea Tribe, leading them to shift their pressure onto us. If so, how will the Snowy Region withstand?"

"This... "

The Supreme Poison Master’s words silenced the great hall. Indeed, if the Sea Tribe, having failed against the Human Race, took out their frustrations on them, what then?

With the Snowy Region’s Sword Saint still four months away, if the Sea Tribe were to launch an assault as they did against the humans, the Snowy Region might struggle to defend itself. A slight mishap could even lead to their downfall.

After the Supreme Poison Master’s explanation, the people in the hall also came to a realization. This diplomatic mission by Bu Sheng to the empire was to seek help and ensure the Snowy Region’s safe passage through any vengeful actions by the Sea Tribe.

At the thought of Bu Sheng personally visiting the Human Race to seek assistance for the sake of Snowy Region’s inheritance, laying aside his status, the eyes of the ministers and strong warriors grew moist as they said in unison, "The Great Emperor is wise, we are utterly convinced!"

"Alright, alright, those of you willing to go, sign up with the left official. We’ll depart in three days, to the Sacred Empire!"

Not only Bu Sheng, but the Beastman Empire also had its designs.

Lion Emperor Tai’e summoned the Golden Lions and ordered Eferot to visit the empire as an envoy bearing gifts and supplies in accordance with national customs.

But as for the true intentions of the other party, only a few were aware.

At the same time, envoys from the Eagle Alliance had already arrived at the Continent of God’s Grace. The visitors were none other than Qing Ling and Jin Fu.

"Eh? How come you’re here?" Seeing the girl standing in front of him, Lu Hong revealed a smile and asked, "How have you been lately?"

"Not so good," Qing Ling responded with a pout, feeling aggrieved as she said, "You’ve been away for so long, and you never thought to come back and see us."

"I’ve been caught up with things, you know how it’s been in the empire lately," Lu Hong quickly explained.

"Yeah yeah, I know you’re a great hero, enough already!"

"Right, why have you come to God’s Grace?"

In response to Lu Hong’s question, Qing Ling explained, "Since Lei Shan disappeared, the three Dukes didn’t take a single territory for themselves but instead, distributed it to the newly minted Earls to aid their development. During the subsequent alliance meeting, many of the nobles expressed their gratitude to you for rooting out the demonic race’s spies, and thus they reached a consensus with over two-thirds of the votes to send troops to aid the Holy Divine Empire. So Jin Fu and I came over first. Once the cooperation is negotiated, the Eagle Alliance’s troops will cross the border and enter the empire in a few days."

"What about Jin Fu?"

"Are you dumb? He’s obviously discussing matters with your emperor."

"No, I meant, Jin Fu can represent the Eagle Alliance in these talks?" Lu Hong asked, somewhat surprised.

"You didn’t know? Jin Fu is now an Archbishop of the Holy Court. Moreover, he has many nobles under his command who support him. In terms of power, he is already on par with any one of the Dukes."

"Holy shit!" Lu Hong was stunned, "Did he take a Power Pill or something?"

"What Power Pill!" Although Qing Ling was quite young, she had a basic understanding of these magic potions used between men and women. She spat at Lu Hong before explaining, "The fight between him and old devil Bai Ling was publicized by the Holy Court, and afterward, the Court’s influence expanded rapidly, growing exponentially every day. Also, four months ago, another letter from Archbishop Nong Hua was found, in which he named Jin Fu as his successor as Archbishop. Hence, Jenaxi was ousted and Jin Fu took his place smoothly."

"I see." Lu Hong nodded, thinking that Jin Fu truly had his bitter days pay off. But it was good in a way; having a big shot from the Holy Court as his little brother was something to be happy about.

"Hey, hey, I didn’t come all this way just to chat with you, did I?" Qing Ling saw that Lu Hong wasn’t making any moves and her expression began to sour.

"Uh...," Lu Hong broke out in a sweat and quickly said, "Qing Ling, we’re not at that stage yet, you...,"

"What are you talking about!" Qing Ling’s face flushed red as she realized what Lu Hong was thinking and rebuked him, "I mean, aren’t you going to invite me to dinner, to experience the empire’s culture and customs? You and your dirty mind!"

Embarrassed!

Lu Hong slapped his forehead, "Let’s go, let’s go. Just say what you want to eat, I’ve got it covered!"

Anna was also very pleased with Qing Ling’s arrival. The three of them strolled around Jinrui City, which was being rebuilt after the disaster. Before long, Jin Fu joined them, led by a philosopher, and they all enjoyed wine and conversation, reminiscing about the times they had spent together in the Eagle Alliance.

Despite his concerns about the aid offered by the Eagle Alliance, Konstantin still accepted it. After all, the empire had suffered a devastating war with horrific casualties and was in dire need of replenishment. The timing of the Eagle Alliance’s arrival was very opportune, compelling him to accept their goodwill. However, he was still vigilant, secretly ordering the Black Guard to keep a strict check on the movements of the Eagle Alliance. Should they engage in any secret plotting, Konstantin would swiftly put an end to these allied soldiers.
