Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1061 - 1005 The Final Act

On Green Field Mountain, the nine super-first masters of the Invading Army were quietly waiting for the end of the national war, having already given up on trying to provoke Huang Yi into action.

Each of them appeared calm and composed. Although still somewhat worried about Huang Yi, they couldn’t think of any reason to lose this war.

At this very moment, almost every minute, transport ships from their country were delivering vast amounts of precious supplies, continuously arriving at Hero’s Continent to build in the occupied zones.

Almost every minute, those occupied zones saw fortresses and cities springing up with astonishing speed! Although the Invading Army appeared polite on the surface, they were actually competing fiercely to see who could seize more territory.

Soon, the announcement marking the end of the war would sound, at which point the system would officially acknowledge the regions they had assimilated as theirs permanently. They had to take advantage of the remaining time before the war ended to absorb as much land as possible.

Just at this moment, T.N.T suddenly received a message, surprisingly from the long-unheard-from Desire Arises from the Heart.

He opened the message and, after reading it, couldn’t help but laugh silently. Turning to the other super-first masters, he said, "Good news! Although we couldn’t lure the God of Slaughter into action, our Chinese friends have devised a good plan for us. Just now, Desire Arises from the Heart sent a message saying that Second Brother Who Studies Medicine will lead a group of Chinese players to engage us in battle, prompting us to deliberately retreat. This way, more Chinese players will be lured out to fight, and by then, God of Slaughter will face greater public pressure."

"Desire Arises from the Heart?" Miyamoto Musashi murmured the name, expressing mixed emotions, "We had already abandoned Desire Arises from the Heart long ago; who would have thought he still wanted to cooperate with us! From a traitor’s perspective, he’s incredibly loyal!"

Heavenly Dao also teased, "Indeed! There are many types of betrayal, some do it for greater advantages. But Desire Arises from the Heart’s betrayal is purely harmful and unprofitable, motivated solely by revenge against the God of Slaughter—truly a madman."

"It’s rare for Desire Arises from the Heart and Second Brother Who Studies Medicine to be so proactive. Very well, let’s coordinate with their plan; let’s not waste their good intentions! Anyways, we are certain to win this war," said the Pope, gazing at the distant Hero Empire below the mountain.

...

On the other side, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, leading tens of thousands from the Counterattack Alliance, teleported to a small town within the Hero Empire nearest to Green Field Mountain, hurriedly advancing to where Huang Yi and the others were located.

At this moment, only one hour was left until the end of the national war! The Hero Empire was about to fail, yet Huang Yi and the others remained where they were, without any movement.

To draw everyone’s attention, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine purposely had his subordinates mount their steeds. The tumultuous sound of hooves thundered into the sky, surging like a tidal wave.

Furthermore, they had brought several giant mechas over ten meters tall, entirely constructed of cold metal, their arms wielding metal war blades over ten meters long, exuding the power to cleave mountains—like machines of war.

The uproar immediately caught the attention of Huang Yi’s stationed army!

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine led the charge, waving a Counterattack Alliance flag in hand, passionately shouting to the gathering crowd, "The rise and fall of our nation is the responsibility of every citizen! In the real world, we lack the chance to serve our country on the battlefield. But in The Second World, every one of us has a chance! Our Counterattack Alliance has heavily invested, exchanged for a batch of enhanced war mechs, and we will annihilate the Invading Army! If you’re Chinese, join me in killing the enemy! Not joining means you’re not Chinese!"

The fervent rallying call of Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, along with the scene of him leading a fierce charge, instantly ignited the rage and courage of many!

Numerous players had long held back their frustration. Now, seeing such a scene, many couldn’t restrain themselves, with a few even successfully incited to join in the charge.

However, most still heeded Huang Yi’s previous orders, remaining in place to wait, knowing full well that venturing out was incredibly dangerous, almost certainly leading to a meaningless death.

The crowd watched Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and his troops charge forward, whispering amongst themselves—

"You have to admit, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine is a real man! Knowing full well the danger to life outside, he still charges out to kill the enemy."

"Previously, Wu Kecong and those Counterattack Alliance players just bluffed, yet now, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and his group are actually going out with real blades and guns to battle!"

"Who knows whether they’ll survive once they venture out."

...

Finally, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, leading those tens of thousands, charged past the Hero Empire’s national borders into the dangerous exterior regions.

From this moment, their lives would no longer be guaranteed; both the Invading Army and the Demon Clan could kill them at any time.

The powerful Guardians of the Hero Empire could no longer protect them.

On Green Field Mountain, the super-first masters of the Invading Army, seeing Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s advance, also led their elite units down the mountain to partake in the staged performance.

Some reporters also followed, flying out from high above to overlook the vast battlefield. What their eyes captured was broadcast live to audiences in countries all around the world.

Under the global gaze, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine led his troops, along with the massive metal war mechs, like an iron tide, charging towards the elite players of the Invading Army.

"Everyone, kill them for me!" On the side of the invading army, Miyamoto Musashi raised the Eastern Sword high in his hand, made a grandiose shout, and charged towards the troops of Second Brother Who Studies Medicine.

Soon, the troops from both sides clashed, and the tides of players collided fiercely. On the battlefield, various skill radiance of different colors lit up the sky, showcasing the cruel beauty of war.

The war mechs brought by Second Brother Who Studies Medicine were the most conspicuous on the battlefield. Every swing of their giant war blades could send a large group of players flying, utterly unstoppable.

The senior players on the invading army’s side knew this was just an act and did not truly give their all, fighting while pretending to retreat and appearing incapable of resisting.

To make the act more convincing, some players were really killed by Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and his team, turning into corpses on the battlefield.

For the sake of the big picture, someone had to sacrifice themselves, so others would believe.

"No way, their war mechs are too powerful, we must retreat quickly!" Finally, after about ten minutes of fighting, T.N.T feigned a look of exhaustion and shouted out loud, leading the retreat.

Soon, the entire invading army was routed, everyone casting away their armor and fleeing madly, even leaving their banners on the ground, looking very realistic.

"The invading army is no match for us, everyone charge and hunt them down," Second Brother Who Studies Medicine shouted, leading his troops in pursuit of the fleeing invading army.

The journalists followed closely from above, broadcasting their pursuit of the defeated troops to audiences worldwide.

Soon, the entire battlefield was left behind. The bodies of the invading army lay sprawled all over, desolate smoke rising from everywhere, narrating the defeat of the invading army.

Within the Hero Empire, the Chinese players looked at each other in disbelief, stunned by what they just witnessed.

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine actually succeeded, and even the nine super-first masters from the invading army couldn’t match him, forced to retreat so embarrassingly!

"Impossible! When did super-first masters become so weak? They were beaten back by Second Brother Who Studies Medicine."

"I suppose it’s those powerful war mechs of his! You saw the scene just now, every strike from the war mechs kills a large batch of the invading army, they simply can’t withstand it."

"If so, why are we still here? Second Brother Who Studies Medicine has proven there’s no danger outside, we should go out and fight the enemy immediately! The invading army was already defeated by us before, they definitely won’t be our match this time either."

Quickly, discussions erupted in the stationed army, many people became excited, eager to go out and fight.

...

At this time, the journalists had followed Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s troops for a long distance. Moving swiftly, they crushed everything in their path effortlessly, reaching the heavily fortified base of the invading army — Greenfield Plain.

At Greenfield Plain, some invading army members were originally conducting construction work, but they abandoned their duties and fled madly at the hint of Miyamoto Musashi and others. Even the precious resources they painstakingly transported were left by the roadside, appearing incredibly tempting.

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s troops hardly paused in their steps, reclaiming vast areas of lost ground. Wherever they went, the enemies retreated, leaving resources and fortresses surrendered to them.

For a moment, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s momentum was immense, his invincible stature displayed before global audiences,

The players watching the broadcast were also deceived by Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s success, each one going to the forums to post, urging Huang Yi to go out and fight.

Almost instantly, public opinion pushed Huang Yi to a dead end.

The reason he hadn’t gone out was due to concerns about fatal dangers outside, going out was courting death. However, now that Second Brother Who Studies Medicine proved before the world that it’s safe outside, continuing to stay inside would truly be cowardice.

"God of Slaughter, let’s go out and fight too! According to the reporters, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine encountered no dangers along the way!

"Yeah! There are only thirty minutes left until the end of the national war, we’re inevitably losing anyway, let’s at least vent by killing some enemies while we still can. Otherwise, after we lose, our attributes will drastically drop and we won’t even have the ability to kill a few enemies in frustration."

"The forums are filled with insults calling us cowards, saying we’re scared to fight even now! If we keep waiting, we’ll really stink to high heaven!"

Finally, everyone couldn’t hold it anymore and demanded Huang Yi to go out and fight!

Desire Arises from the Heart and Second Brother Who Studies Medicine were readers of my book "Cold Storage" from five years ago. Originally using their names as characters was intended to commemorate that naive time, but now they’ve been written as such despicable antagonists, it’s truly regrettable. I don’t know if they’re still reading this book, but in any case, I apologize to them here. Meanwhile, let me clarify, the minor character names everyone signed up for may not always be written as normal characters, they might be used as villainous roles and portrayed as vile and shameless. If anyone cannot accept this, please leave a special note when signing up.
