MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 576 - 64: The Grand Wedding

The chant of Di Ti rang out from the watchtowers, carrying a strange charm that spread around like a golden bell tolling in the plane of divine grace.

Eferot, who was about to give the order to attack, swallowed his words back under the gilding of the golden tune.

"Order a full withdrawal. Abandon the attack plans," Eferot commanded.

His order was met with questions from the soldiers by his side, "Your Highness Zhen Luo King, we have planned this attack for a long time, and His Majesty has repeatedly paid attention to and signed off on this military action. If we end it hastily, I’m afraid we won’t be able to explain ourselves to His Majesty!"

These generals clearly understood that if the military action were canceled, Eferot would be reprimanded by Tai’e, but after all, he was his son. The Lionheart royal family was already few in number, each one too precious to lose, and Tai’e would not want to punish his son. So who would bear the brunt of his rage? It would be them, the poor soldiers, wouldn’t it?

Eferot turned to look at these high-ranking generals of the Beastman Empire and understood their worries. He then said, "I will explain the situation to His Majesty myself and will bear the responsibility alone, without implicating any of you.

The generals glanced at each other. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Since His Highness Zhen Luo King has spoken to this extent, how can we dare not comply?"

Since Eferot was the future Orc Emperor, they could not afford to offend him either. With his assurance, at least they wouldn’t lose their lives to Tai’e’s wrath. That was enough for them.

As the lurking beastman armies began to retreat one by one, Eferot stood up and made a bee-line for Inner River City.

The soldiers guarding the city were alarmed and immediately rang the warning bells.

Silver Wind and several high-ranking Imperial officials surged onto the city walls, watching in astonishment as Eferot approached alone.

"Your Highness Zhen Luo King, aren’t you being a little too bold? Do you really think so little of the human warriors?" Xie’an’s face darkened, viewing Eferot’s solitary incursion as a provocation.

"He... he might be here for the wedding," Silver Wind suggested, thinking of a possibility.

"For the wedding?"

At this moment, the many high-ranking officials on the city walls recalled Lu Hong’s half-beastman heritage and suddenly understood.

Eferot glanced over the Imperial generals on the city wall, many of whom were old adversaries he had fought before, and then said, "I have come to attend my brother’s wedding. Might I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned to Silver Wind. This wedding was organized by Silver Wind, and Inner River City was his station; even Xie’an had no right to interfere.

"Eh...," Silver Wind was in a quandary. Letting a future beastman emperor into the city—if the visitor had a plot, what then? Or was this the best chance to take out the next Orc Emperor?

After much inner conflict, Silver Wind finally said, "Open the gates and welcome His Highness Zhen Luo King!"

Once Zhen Luo King entered, countless hostile glances pierced him like swords.

Hatred was inevitable—as the Sacred Empire faced great calamity, the Beastman Empire, though not adding insult to injury, had been indifferent enough to incite animosity among the common folk, particularly with the continuous warfare between the two nations over recent years deepening the blood debt.

Upon entering the banquet hall, some human generals slammed the table and berated Eferot, "You beastman, daring to come to our human territory, do you really have no fear of death? Believe it or not, I can kill you within minutes?"

Eferot looked contemptuously around and thought, trying to intimidate me?

"Haha! Losers," he uttered.

Just a single sentence ignited the fury of dozens of human generals: "Damn it, say that again if you dare! Believe it or not, I’ll make sure you can’t leave this Inner River City?!"

As tensions rose, Marshal Xie had to intervene, "Today is the day of Duke Shinwei’s grand wedding. Are you going to cause trouble at Duke Shinwei’s wedding?"

They couldn’t bear such a heavy accusation and immediately backed down.

Having calmed the soldiers down, Marshal Xie then turned to Eferot and said, "Your Highness Zhen Luo King, if you think highly of this old man, please join me at my table."

Zhen Luo King gave a slight nod, "Marshal Xie is renowned far and wide, and even my father admires you greatly. To sit with you, sir, is my honor."

With Eferot seated beside Marshal Xie, those who still harbored mischievous thoughts of causing trouble quietly retreated, giving up their plans.

An hour later, Lu Hong returned to Inner River City with Anna.

Both were dressed in their finest, standing on the back of Di Ti, looking like a pair of celestial companions.

The sight left the onlookers dumbfounded, wondering if this was perhaps the most magnificent wedding under the Star Sea?

Eferot couldn’t help but exclaim, "This kid’s sudden resurrection was shocking enough, but to think he’d manage a wedding that takes one’s breath away."

"Indeed!" Marshal Xie chuckled, "With a divine beast as a mount and the Divine Artifact from the River Sealing Grounds as a dowry, I doubt there’s anyone who could pull off a wedding like this again?"

As he said this, Marshal Xie looked towards Eferot before speaking again, "Now that Duke Shengwei has returned, the Human Race will surely unite as one. It’s time for your Beastman Empire to withdraw your troops. Wouldn’t returning to peace be good?"

"That’s not necessarily the case." Eferot laughed, "He’s my brother, are you sure he will definitely help the Human Race?"

"Of course." Although Lu Hong was of mixed blood, Marshal Xie was convinced that he was on their side.

Eferot did not argue, "Even if that’s the case, no matter how powerful he becomes, the Beastman Empire still has strategies to respond. The Demon Abyss the Beastman Empire desires will be claimed; no one can stop the grandeur of the Beastman Empire."

During their conversation, the wedding officially began. Lu Hong had no grandiose rhetoric, but every word he uttered was imbued with love for Anna. Witnessed by their guests, the two completed this tremendous ceremony.

The following morning, news of Duke Shengwei’s return and grand wedding spread throughout the entire Sacred Plane.

While Tai’e was annoyed by Eferot’s decision to halt the military strategies, surprisingly, he did not reprimand harshly but instead ordered the empire to scale back its military forces and not to initiate war proactively.

As for Konstantin, upon receiving the news, he was somewhat incredulous. How could someone who blew up into a bloody mist in front of so many people be alive again?

Nevertheless, the ubiquitous news forced him to believe, leading him to personally visit Inner River City.

After meeting Lu Hong, he confirmed the truth of the matter.

Following the news that the Beastman Empire was reducing its military might and halting the war, Konstantin said to Lu Hong with a smile, "Look, this is the wedding gift your father has given you."

Lu Hong curled his lip, "What about you? What are you preparing to give for my wedding?"

Konstantin was taken aback, damn, he really did not know what to give!

After a while, Konstantin finally spoke, "It seems you lack nothing. Questasa’s acquisition of the three northern towns is illegitimate. If he truly established the organization for you, I could fully transfer it to you, but you must hold it tightly in your hands and not allow the willing to exploit it."

"Speaking of which, I’m truly curious. Isn’t Questasa your most loyal subject? I’m not close to him, so why would he set up an organization in my name?"

Konstantin gave a bitter smile, "It might have something to do with your mother."

"Funie?" Lu Hong had not encountered this stepmother when he crossed over. Like Tai’e, he felt no attachment to her and found the term ’mother’ hard to utter.

Konstantin nodded, "I don’t know what she’s plotting, but I believe her disassociation with the discovery of Demon Abyss’s secrets by the Beastman Empire is not coincidental. She’s bent on taking revenge on Tai’e but knows she lacks the strength, so she wants to use the empire’s power to drag it into trouble."

"Truth be told, she succeeded, but the cost..." Konstantin sighed, "was just too great."

Konstantin was no fool. Questasa’s loyalty to the imperial family was unquestionable. The only one who could make him betray Konstantin was Funie, his first sworn superior. Black Guards were originally established by Funie, and she held absolute authority. So this was why Konstantin had yet to act after Questasa’s acquisition of the three northern planes.

"By the way, it’s good you came this time," Lu Hong didn’t want to dwell on the matter and changed the subject, "I’ve thought of an excellent solution to the demon beast tide, but I need your help."

"Using demon beasts to counter demon beasts?" Konstantin speculated as soon as he learned that Lu Hong had a god-tier demon beast from the Endless Forest as his mount.

"That’s right. Next, Di Ti will return to the planes plagued by millions of demon beasts, regulate them, and bring them back to the Endless Forest. I have already discussed this with Di Ti, but you need to spare some space mages to help Di Ti open the portals to facilitate the movement of the demon beasts."

Konstantin nodded, "No problem, it’s a good cause, and it’ll help us root out those who are causing trouble from the Netherworld hidden within the planes. But... can Di Ti really be trusted?"

"I vouch for him."

"Good."
