As someone with the bloodline of the Constant family, how could he become a Knight of a rival family? So Konstantin granted Lu Hong the title of Baron Tian and sought a way to separate Lu Hong from the Roland Knight Order.
Of course, this would take time, so Lu Hong still served as a member of the Roland Knight Order, assigned to defend the border of the Sacred Empire.
On the way, they encountered an attack from the Naga, and his soldiers were nearly wiped out. The sudden appearance of the Naga made everyone believe it was just an excuse of Lu Hong's, and many higher-ups wanted to suppress Lu Hong, who had no background, by severely punishing him, stripping him of his military rank, and rendering him a mere mortal.
Having his cultivation abolished nearly drove Lu Hong insane. Dragging his severely injured body, he slowly returned to Caesar.
Upon seeing Lu Hong's ruined cultivation, Caesar thought for a long time and came up with a way for Lu Hong to recover.
