Chapter 891 Returning To Base
Lu Yu hailed a taxi when he reached the roadside.
The Empress still acted like a curious baby as she scanned her surroundings excitedly.
“Hey, get in the car.”
Lu Yu said as he got into a taxi, and only then did the Empress react.
After getting in the car, Lu Yu asked the driver to drive to the tallest building in the city center.
They took the elevator to the top floor when they reached the tower, reaching the rooftop.
Lu Yu and the Empress walked out to the rooftop. The Empress looked around, and her mouth gaped open when she saw the magnificent city scenery around her.
At that moment, the old man guarding the teleportation array walked out, looking at Lu Yu again with eyes filled with sorrow.
“Young man, I finally met you again.”
He walked toward Lu Yu as he spoke.
“Grandpa, can you help me open a portal? I’m heading back to the military.”
Lu Yu asked with a smile.
“Alright,” the old man nodded and continued, “I’ll open the portal for you now.”
“The world is about to fall into chaos, and you have to take good care of yourself. In this chaotic world, being alive’s already a win.”
“Old sir, how did you know the world would fall into chaos?”
“Haha, I was a lieutenant general in the military back then. Now that I’ve retired, I’m here to look after the teleportation portal.”
“So, I know what’s going on in the military.”
“You… After returning to the military headquarters, you must think of a way to deal with this chaos.”
“If it doesn’t work out, find a place to hide. You mustn’t die young with your talent.”
He looked at Lu Yu with hope, as if he had placed all his hopes on Lu Yu.
“There are countless stronger cultivators than me and many more talented individuals. Why would you value me this much?”
“I can feel that imposing aura coming from you—the aura of an ancient dragon. You will be the key to solving this crisis!”
Lu Yu’s eyes lit up, surprised that an old man guarding a portal knew so much!
“I’ll help you open the portal now.”
He waved his hands and drew runes in the air. Moments later, a crack appeared in mid-air with a flash of light.
The crack widened and tore open a spatial rift.
“Go on in, and you’ll reach Base One!”
Lu Yu nodded and walked toward the spatial rift.
“The military headquarters should be a top-secret place. Can I follow?”
The Empress was a little worried, as she was the ruler of another country. If she were to head to the military headquarters of another region rashly, it would easily cause diplomatic issues.
Lu Yu looked back at her and replied, “This is technically a problem, but not a big one. Come with me, and I’ll explain it to them clearly.”
The Empress chose to believe Lu Yu and followed him into the spatial rift.
As the light flickered, Lu Yu opened his eyes and found himself back at Base One.
It was still an icy, snowy world. His surroundings were completely white, and the base’s buildings were all dusted with snow as snowflakes danced in the sky.
The Empress shivered from the cold and exhaled a mouthful of mist as she arrived at Base One.
In front of the teleportation array, Lin Zhanyu stood there, waving at Lu Yu with a smile.
“Lu Yu, welcome back!”
He greeted Lu Yu with a smile.
Lu Yu approached him and asked, “Where’s Wan Guliu? Where is he?”
“He’s been waiting in his office all this time.”
“Let’s head over.”
Lin Zhanyu was about to turn around and lead the way when he saw the Empress, who stood behind Lu Yu.
“And this is?”
The demi-human appearance of the Empress aroused his interest. Lin Zhanyu’s heart was racing at her stunning looks and well-proportioned figure.
“She’s Empress Ye Ming, the ruler of the Twilight Kingdom. Those who have studied history should know about this country.”
“I don’t know much about this, but I welcome you.”
“Where’s the beauty who followed you?”
Lin Zhanyu asked curiously.
“She stayed in the Lionheart Empire to help Elizabeth stabilize her rule.”
“Is that so? I had heard about the Lionheart Empire. So you were the one who did that?”
Lin Zhanyu asked as he led the way.
“With the forces of the three regions at your disposal, you should be prepared to face the enemy, right?”
Lu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
He did have some influence in these three areas. At the very least, Qin Yang would listen to him.
Elizabeth would also most likely listen to him, but that wasn’t necessarily true for the Freedom Federation’s military. Regardless, no one would surrender to the Ember Empire if Lu Yu chose to face the enemy.
“Yeah, but we really need to make preparations. In a month, the Ember Empire will invade our world.”
Lin Zhanyu’s eyes widened. He adjusted his hat and asked gravely, “Is your source reliable?”
“Absolutely. Moreover, we might be utterly defeated!”
Hearing this, Lin Zhanyu could not help but gasp.
Unknowingly, they had arrived at the battle command center.
After entering the command center, they quickly headed for Lin Zhanyu’s office.
When Lu Yu entered the office, he saw Wan Guliu’s familiar face.
However, unlike the last time he saw him, he was slightly more anxious.
When Wan Guliu saw Lu Yu enter, he quickly stood up and walked over with a friendly smile.
“Lu Yu, we finally meet again.”
He spoke excitedly.
Lu Yu walked forward and shook hands with Wan Guliu.
Lin Zhanyu patted off the snow on his body and pulled out two chairs for Lu Yu and the Empress.
Wan Guliu looked at the Empress and asked with a smile, “Another girlfriend?”
Lu Yu’s mouth twitched. “She’s not my girlfriend. She is Empress Ye Ming.”
“Empress? A ruler to a region? Her identity must be special.”
The Empress got a little anxious and wanted to introduce herself.
“She comes from a place called the Netherworld Abyss,” Lu Yu said on her behalf. “It’s thousands of miles away, and it’s a small country with a population of a few hundred thousand people.”
Hearing this, Wan Guoliu heaved a sigh of relief. “A small country with hundreds of thousands of people is smaller than a city in the Freedom Federation.”
He returned to his seat and looked at Lu Yu solemnly.
“Your aunt is still with General Yan. Her safety is guaranteed, but she has lost her freedom.”
“Do you think I will trust General Yan? I never even met him.”
“I’m also anxious too. I want him to understand our situation as soon as possible, but he keeps messing things up for us. I’m also on the verge of taking action against him!”
Wan Guliu rubbed his chin with a worried expression.
“I came back this time to kill him,” Lu Yu said decisively.
