MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1425 - 20: Trouble

Subsequently, the Kai Jia Titan spoke: "Regarding the Netherworld God releasing the Seven Towers earlier, hasn’t Lord Nuoshan offered a reasonable explanation?"

The moment this topic was brought up, everyone’s attention immediately focused on Nuoshan.

Moreover, everyone was curious about the reason behind this incident.

However, Nuoshan shook his head and said, "After the Star Lord and Lord Netherworld God returned, they immediately went into the nutrition chamber. The Star Lord seems to have been seriously injured, so we haven’t talked. As for the release of the Seven Towers, no explanation was given to me; the specific situation should be inquired about after the Star Lord has recovered!"

Nuoshan cleverly shifted the issue onto Lu Hong. Actually, it should be the Netherworld God who was responsible for explaining, but Nuoshan deliberately guided it towards Lu Hong, leaving him to provide an explanation.

The reason is quite simple. The aloof Netherworld God would definitely ignore them, so there’s a high probability no explanation would be given, creating internal conflict in the process. But Lu Hong is different; even if he doesn’t provide an explanation, the resulting conflict and tension would be much smaller. After all, Lu Hong can communicate with all three parties and would likely give some face.

Hearing Nuoshan’s words, the others didn’t pursue the question further. After all, Lu Hong is severely injured and receiving treatment, so they should wait until he recovers before proceeding.

Afterwards, everyone began discussing the upcoming battle strategy.

Time flew by.

Half a month passed in a flash. The hell demons completed their withdrawal operation from the Hanqiu Mountain Realm battlefield, leaving the outpost entirely to the other three forces.

The Dao Yi True Realm chose to follow the path vacated by the hell demons, continuing their advance. Meanwhile, the Titan side opened a new direction of attack, currently continuously dispatching Titans from the Dark Continent.

As for the Star Sea, their operations were more erratic, not landing at all.

From their base, they deployed nearly five hundred interstellar battleships, bringing the total to eight hundred interstellar armors, forming a large steel city that could take flight and leave at any time, capable of fighting or retreating, a veritable mobile fortress. Their power made onlookers envious, as such steel constructs were indeed useful.

However, the three factions did not immediately sweep into the depths of the Hanqiu Mountain Realm.

Currently, the priority is to establish a stable base of operations, as each side needs a stable supply point. As the battle lines extend, issues such as supply and rest will become increasingly pressing.

However, the time to go to war against the Undead Heavenly Calamity will not be delayed for too long.

As time passed, Lu Hong finally emerged from the nutrition chamber. The Netherworld God was meditating nearby and opened her eyes, looking at Lu Hong: "How’s the recovery?"

"Not bad. I didn’t expect that this thing from the Holy Court would be so effective, even for those in the God Realm," Lu Hong remarked, a bit emotional. Indeed, the technological development of the Holy Court is quite astonishing.

"That’s normal. The nutritional liquid uses extremely rare herbs in its concoction, which are greatly beneficial even to those in the God Realm. Naturally, the resulting medicinal liquid is very effective. Oh, by the way, Nuoshan wants you to see him immediately after you recover."

Upon hearing that, Lu Hong chuckled wryly: "Probably about your matter."

At this, the Netherworld God fell silent, unable to do anything about it. She hadn’t realized it during the time when her influence was negligible; now that she knew, it was too late.

Seeing a hint of grievance possibly appearing on the Netherworld God’s expression, Lu Hong was amused, knowing that the Netherworld God was notoriously stoic within the Star Sky Alliance, rarely showing any emotion. Even Lu Hong seldom witnessed it.

"Alright, I’ll discuss it with them. The final resolution of this matter might be to have you temporarily relocated away from here."

"Okay," the Netherworld God responded, not saying much more.

Soon, Lu Hong arrived in Nuoshan’s office.

Sitting down, Nuoshan finished his paperwork and asked, "What’s the situation with the Netherworld God?"

"It’s complicated and difficult. The extent to which she can be influenced by Fu Sang is still unclear."

Lu Hong didn’t hide anything from Nuoshan, needing this old fox to come up with plans. Nuoshan was the smartest and most perceptive person Lu Hong had ever met.

Upon hearing this, Nuoshan’s expression slightly changed: "So it is as I suspected."

Nuoshan had hypothesized this possibility before but quickly abandoned it due to its improbability. Now, being confirmed by Lu Hong, he was immediately worried: "If Fu Sang controls the Netherworld God and suddenly attacks our rear, it could ruin everything!"

Lu Hong nodded: "I’m worried about that too, but this can’t be publicly announced. If others find out, they might act against the Netherworld God first. So, I hope you can find me a solution to move the Netherworld God without arousing suspicion."

If the Netherworld God leaves suddenly, combined with the earlier release of the Seven Towers, intelligent individuals could connect the dots, leading to more questioning and greater pressure on Lu Hong.

Nuoshan sighed wryly: "You just love giving me headaches!"

"No choice; you’re our Star Sea’s foremost strategist. Who else should I turn to?"

"Enough flattery, let me think." Nuoshan raised his hand, interrupting Lu Hong’s compliments. After a moment of thought, he spoke: "I recall you mentioned that the Titan God Kings weren’t all dead?"

"Yes, the Titan King of Huangshaqiu, the Fire Realm Titan God King, and the Daowang Death City Titan God King are still around, just not sure where they’re hiding."

"Then have the Netherworld God look for these Titan God Kings. They possess great strength and can significantly aid us, filling the void left by the Netherworld God’s powerful presence."

Lu Hong, puzzled, asked, "Didn’t you already send people to search for them?"

Searching for the Titan God Kings was proposed at the first meeting of the four Dark Continent factions. The Dark Continent Titans were strongly in favor, deploying no fewer than a thousand Titans to cooperate with others in a bid to find them, but so far, there hadn’t been any progress.

"It’s fine. Now that all three factions are entering the Hanqiu Mountain Realm, they will soon begin a full-scale offensive. Sending a better aid to search wouldn’t be unreasonable."

"A full-scale war? Are you joking? With the increasing number of resurrected Undead Heavenly Calamity, the reviving top-tier experts will multiply exponentially. Can we withstand that?"

Lu Hong frowned, questioning this approach.

"Think of Kofatis. Once a certain threshold is surpassed, Fu Sang’s control might weaken, and those resurrected experts could regain some self-awareness, possibly assisting us in return. They were our kin in life; without Fu Sang’s control, they wouldn’t harm us."

Upon hearing Nuoshan’s analysis, Lu Hong paused, then reflected: "That seems plausible, though isn’t this a bit like a high-risk gamble?"

"No choice. Endless resurrection of the undead means that even sacrificing all our lives won’t fill this hole. A slow demise is more torturous, isn’t it? Betting on a slim chance of life is not unwarranted." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lu Hong understood, agreeing: "You’re right, exactly as you say. Let’s proceed with your plan; I’ll discuss it with them."

With that, Lu Hong stood up and headed towards the area where the Titans were stationed.

Within half a day, Lu Hong reached the Titans’ defensive base. He looked around and saw an enormous and unprecedented steel fortress standing before him, towering over ten thousand meters, truly colossal, matching the Titans’ massive forms.

In such a short period, constructing such a gigantic fortress was impressive. The Titans indeed had some tricks up their sleeves.

Entering the steel fortress, the Kai Family Master and Qin Hong were informed and came to meet him.
