Unfortunately for Feng Huang Di, the Bandit Bear Sect wasn't the only demonic sect to target the beleaguered Divine Phoenix Empire's army while they made the long journey back home. More opportunistic sects struck here and there, nibbling at camps here or raiding their parties there.
By the time the Divine Phoenix Empire's army reached home, they were a mere shadow of their former self. They wouldn't be in any shape to launch an invasion of the Blue Wind Empire again. That meant I had completed my goal, at least.
"What should we do now?" Feng Xue Er asked me. I grinned.
"Time for you to return home."
"Huh?! What?!"
I shrugged. "You wanted me to stop the war. That's what I did."
