Under the pressure of the lordly title, Wu Kelong and others finally finished listening to Lu Hong's narration in full, especially regarding the blessed weapons, which Xiao Zheng emphasized again.
Wu Kelong nodded, "Thank you, my lord, for your guidance. You are right, our army has suffered heavy losses in the past years after the weapons bestowed by the Saint Master failed. We had guessed this, but due to the overwhelming number of enemies, we couldn't manage to perform the baptism replacement in time. That was an act of desperation."
Since humans rarely live past a thousand years, Wu Kelong almost entirely trusted Lu Hong when he mentioned this point. He came to know about these matters only after inheriting the manuals from his ancestors.
With the issue peacefully resolved, Lu Hong took up the role of a hands-off manager and delegated the task of deploying troops to Saint De and Wu Kelong. Meanwhile, he headed directly to the Star Sea portal, thousands of miles away.
