Chapter 624 The Truth Department's Counterattack
Elizabeth approached Lu Yu and took a seat beside him.
"All my hopes are now on you. You've had the most encounters with the Truth Department, so you're familiar with their history and how to deal with them."
"So, if you see my brother, please bring him back; I hope he can come back alive."
Elizabeth gave Lu Yu a sincere look.
"I know you're a good person, Princess. I'll be on the lookout for him and save him if there's any hope."
"By the way, how does he look?"
Elizabeth took out a photograph and handed it to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu examined the photograph. The person in the photo was not tall and had long, curly, golden hair.
He was about 1.7 meters tall, but his body looked strong and attractive, and there was a hint of hostility between his brows.
"Alright. If I see him, I'll bring him back; also, what's his name?"
"Walter is his name. Tell him I'm looking for him if you see him. He'll definitely come back for my sake!"
Elizabeth firmly nodded her head with certainty.
"No problem, I understand," Lu Yu replied as he took the photo.
"Do you have anything else?" Lu Yu asked Hunter after taking the photo.
"No, of course not. Oh, right. I just want to ask, could you return the dog to us?"
Hunter indicated the Golden Retriever next to Lu Yu.
"It will stay with Elizabeth; she'll look after it."
"This dog is our crucial piece of clue. Without it, finding any traces of Prince Walter would be extremely difficult!"
"Forget it. You people will head to your deaths even if you find the place."
The soldiers behind him, not only Hunter, were displeased when they heard this.
"What's that supposed to mean? He's looking down on us!"
"Sending ourselves to our deaths? Yeah, right. Something that can kill off the Lionheart Empire's army has yet to appear!"
"Tsk, he's probably conspiring with Elizabeth to take the prize for himself. How selfish!"
The soldiers had numerous soft discussions.
Wang Meng stood up and pointed to the team, shouting, "Who are the ones talking smack? Come on out for a one-on-one!"
A furious roar immediately quieted the murmuring crowd.
"All right, then. The dog will stay here with the princess. I don't think there's anything else between us."
Hunter gave in helplessly, knowing he would only be courting death if he did not lower his head.
"The people in the army have a bad temper," Elizabeth reminded Lu Yu as she tugged on his shoulder. "Don't bother yourself about them."
"Their tempers are alright. At least, the conflict was resolved after a fight..."
Hunter reorganized his forces and began planning his return.
He didn't intend to use the teleportation scroll on the way back because many soldiers were with him, which would be a waste.
Hunter rode his warhorse out of the castle with his troops.
Before he left, he turned to look at Lu Yu and said, "You're definitely a genius. I will be waiting for the day when I meet you again. You will undoubtedly amaze me and everyone else at that time."
Hunter smiled before leading his men out.
Lu Yu looked at Elizabeth after they left and said, "We should go back. There are still things that we need to do."
Lu Yu wanted to inform the military of his findings immediately.
However, Xu Mo should have arrived at the military headquarters by now. His immortality crystal must be kept in a secure location within the military.
"Sure, you head on back. If there's any news, please contact me," Elizabeth said as she watched Lu Yu leave.
Xu Yuan and the others followed Lu Yu and began asking.
"Brother, that fellow appears to have quite a high status in the Lionheart Empire. Wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want in the Lionheart Empire if we became friends?" Wang Meng exclaimed with glee.
"Don't be stupid; we're not even close to being friends with him. If you go over, you'll be lucky if they don't arrest you."
"The Lionheart Empire's army and Royal Family should be viewed separately," Han Xuefei reminded him, smiling. "You cannot mix them as one entity."
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. "Of course, I am aware, but Elizabeth is a friend who deserves to be made."
Both Yun Zirou and Han Xuefei nodded.
"This princess doesn't put on airs and has a kind temperament. She's nice, and she's pleasant..." Yun Zirou pondered as she spoke.
Lu Yu's walkie-talkie rang at this precise moment.
Lu Yu picked it up and immediately heard Qin Yang's worried voice.
"Brother... It... It appears that something significant is about to occur!"
Qin Yang's voice was tense as if he had seen a ghost.
"Don't panic; just say what you have to say."
"The scans here show that the terrain has constantly changed, starting from the Truth Department's headquarters. Furthermore, it is moving south, and everything it passes through has been leveled!"
"How big is the range?"
"It's enormous—nearly half the size of a city. I'm referring to the diameter of the destruction..."
"Could the Truth Department's main force be heading south? That's impossible, right? They should be staying cautious."
"I'm not sure. So, what should we do? Will we have to fight our way through? "
"What is their current location?"
"Let me look... You appear to be on their route based on your current location. They are heading a little north of where you are now, and you'll be passing through there soon."
"North..."
Lu Yu quickly hung up the walkie-talkie, looked ahead, and asked, "Xu Yuan. Did Hunter go that way after he left? "
Xu Yuan frowned and replied, "Yeah, northward."
"I'm afraid they'll cross paths. It all depends on how fast Hunter is moving..."
"I'll go take a look first and observe the situation in advance," Lu Yu said, picking up the walkie-talkie again.
"I'm unsure about the specific situation; let me look first..."
"You must be cautious and avoid danger," Qin Yang reminded Lu Yu.
"The Truth Department is retaliating," Lu Yu said, putting the walkie-talkie away and looking at Xu Yuan. "I'm going to investigate."
"We'll accompany you."
Lu Yu paused for a moment. "Sure. In any case, it's not too far away. Let's go check it out."
At that moment, Elizabeth quickly walked over and asked, "What happened? You don't look too good."
When Lu Yu saw Elizabeth's tightly knitted brows, he let out a long sigh.
He took his walkie-talkie and asked, "Is that group of people coming in my direction?
"No," answered Qin Yang quickly. "They didn't change their course once they started moving. They are aiming for our stronghold..."
"There won't be any problem with your place; stay here and don't run around," Lu Yu said as he put down the walkie-talkie and looked at Elizabeth.
