Heroes' Prison

Chapter 761 - 725: Critical Battle

"Next, pay close attention and see if you can sense the fragments of the Pillar of Sea God!" Huang Yi said to Nami. If he could find those few fragments, his strength would have another significant boost. The larger fragments could definitely rival Epic Equipment.

"I will!" Nami nodded, looking out to the vast ocean and said somberly, "Back then, when I roamed this world with Lord Sea God, it’s a pity that not long after Lord Sea God’s Divine Enthronement, I was captured and thrown into the Heroes’ Prison. Now that I’ve finally gotten out, it’s natural to look for the relics that Lord Sea God left behind."

Huang Yi glanced at the coastline of the Singapore mainland, then withdrew his gaze and went back inside the cabin.

This ship was a Cloud Sail Battleship, even more advanced than the Dragon Fang Battleship, not a transport ship but a warship, equipped with Magic Cannons for combat. And its speed was five times that of the Dragon Fang Battleship!

At present, aside from Huang Yi, there were only the captain and a few other people on the ship, and they too would follow Huang Yi to the Central Continent.

...

Meanwhile, on Hero’s Continent, it was on the brink of collapse!

The continent was riddled with wounds, and war was everywhere. The number of invading countries had reached over seventy, making it the center of a world war. Many people, despite having no grievances with the players of Hero’s Continent, came to participate in battle simply for the sake of killing others to level up.

This vast continent was strewn with enemies glowing with a bloody sheen, all bearing distinct War Auras. They strutted around the wilderness areas with arrogance as if they were the masters of this land.

A meeting was taking place in Red Cliffs City, the port of the Original Generals Pavilion!

There were several hundreds of people attending this meeting. Sitting at the core were solely Super-First Masters—the two leading Japanese players, Miyamoto Musashi and Heavenly Dao; the three leading American players, Pope, Dante, and Kid; the leading Indonesian player, Fuchan Fenrao; the leading Indian player, Ganges; and the leading European player, T.N.T—eight individuals in total.

Behind them were some first-class masters, mostly national leaders of players, such as the British player leader Arthur Artolia, the Spanish player leader Caroline, the Canadian player leader Xue Feng, and so on.

These were the key figures invading Hero’s Continent, now gathered here for this meeting.

"First of all, let’s welcome the return of Emperor Kid!" The meeting’s host, the Pope, spoke with a full voice, leading the applause.

Following this, a burly American with bulging muscles stood up and nodded to everyone.

This man was the American player leader, Kid, who had died recently in a car crash. His family had been proactive, negotiating with the Era of Corporation for a Resurrection Surgery.

The Era of Corporation’s technology had achieved a certain degree of Resurrection. As long as one didn’t die of natural aging but an accident, and most of the body was well preserved—even brain death—they could be brought back. However, the difficulty of such surgeries was extremely high. There were very few slots available each year to conduct such surgeries, and money alone could not secure one.

The effort Kid’s family must have put in to secure such a slot is unimaginable.

"Kid has led the forces of the Freedom Empire to join the battlefield, which is an important power that can greatly enhance our strength! Now no one on Hero’s Continent can withstand our offensive. Soon we will be able to win this national war completely and share the currently occupied territory. At the moment, only Gentleman and Thunder God, two Super-First Masters, are resisting on Hero’s Continent, unable to compete with us, and Thunder God has not been seen for a week already," the Pope said to the entire audience, sounding triumphant.

"Today, we are here to conduct a meeting, mainly because we want to fight a most crucial war! If we win this war, the confidence of Hero’s Continent will be completely destroyed! This war is to eradicate one of the largest guilds on Hero’s Continent—the Xuanyuan Guild!"

As these words were spoken, the room immediately erupted into a buzz of surprise!

Xuanyuan Guild! This super-first-class guild was known to all; it was Hero’s Continent’s very first guild, created by the former world number one, Dao Feng. Xuanyuan Guild had achieved countless renowned achievements, even including the Best Guild Award and Best Team Award! These were honors not even the Hero Guild had had! Everyone present was a leader from different countries, yet they could only look up to a super-first-class guild like Xuanyuan Guild!

Now, the Pope was actually talking about wiping out this guild! Such a claim could scare people to death!

Seeing the people below discussing with each other in hushed excitement, the Pope smiled slightly and said, "We have taken down Red Cliffs City, the port city of the super-first-class Guild, the Hall of Famous Generals, and have gained some valuable experience. Xuanyuan Guild is Hero’s Continent’s most important rebellious force and its most famous guild. It’s considered unbeatable! As long as we eradicate Xuanyuan Guild, we will definitely crush the confidence of every player on Hero’s Continent."

At this moment, one of the first three super-first masters to invade Hero’s Continent, Miyamoto Musashi, also spoke, "This battle will be the decisive fight for victory! None of the previous battles were as important as this one. We will split our forces and launch simultaneous attacks on all Xuanyuan Guild’s branches and ports. Perhaps everyone might fear the reputation of Xuanyuan Guild, but rest assured, our current advantage far exceeds Hero’s Continent, and they absolutely cannot withstand the joint invasion of over seventy countries! During the Second World War, Japan alone could make them powerless to resist, and this time we have over seventy countries, nearly half of the world’s strength to deal with them together! There is absolutely no suspense, their defeat is certain!"

Miyamoto Musashi, at this time, had completely shed his demoralization from a few months ago, replaced by a posture of confident arrogance. The successive victories over these months had finally dispelled the shadow he felt in Huang Yi’s presence, restoring his great confidence of standing on top of the world.

T.N.T also took over the conversation, saying, "We’ve decided to start this battle in three days! During these three days, everyone must follow our plan, with all legions deploying their forces to the respective positions! Among them, Xuanyuan City, the headquarters of Xuanyuan Guild, will be the focal point of this war..."

...

In what was once a renowned city on Hero’s Continent, Red Cliffs City, a most crucial battle was brewing.

This would be another heavy blow to the already precarious situation of Hero’s Continent. If this battle were won, Hero’s Continent might truly be finished!

A full five hours later, this meeting finally ended. Hundreds of legion commanders and key figures from various countries emerged from the meeting hall, nearly every face beaming with smiles, as if they had already secured victory in advance. They teleported away in groups, laughing and chatting, returning to their respective troop garrisons.

Among them, United Kingdom player leader Arthur Artolia and Spain player leader Caroline teleported together to an occupied city on the eastern side of Hero’s Continent.

There were too many countries invading Hero’s Continent, a mesh of unclear powers maintaining a surface harmony. Yet beneath that facade, alliances and hostilities existed. The Spanish Legion and the British Legion were united forces, advancing and retreating together.

"Once we’ve carved up the Xuanyuan Guild, Hero’s Continent will be completely finished! Once the national war is determined to be a victory for us invaders, it will be practically impossible for them to take it back," said Caroline as she walked and casually flicked a strand of her golden hair behind her ear, smiling faintly.

"I’m wondering what we would do if the God of Slaughter suddenly returned? In the previous battles, God of Slaughter might not bother, but this time it’s the most critical one, truly relating to the finale of Hero’s Continent! It’s very possible he won’t be able to resist intervening. And God of Slaughter has also regained his Heavenly Domain rank, though his strength is far from ours, he’s always been unpredictable," Arthur Artolia said with some concern.

"Do we still need to fear him now with the situation being what it is?" Caroline shook her head with a nonchalant smile, "If it were before, his presence might have had a deterrent effect. But now, we have the legions of over seventy countries here, and we have an absolute advantage. Even if God of Slaughter were at his peak, he’d still be powerless against us. He’s strong, but still just one person; he can only take care of one place, but we will be fighting all over the continent, with battle cries everywhere—how can he cope? Besides, his mere Holy Domain rank means that even if he has strategies, they are very limited. You don’t need to worry!" After speaking, Caroline patted Arthur Artolia’s shoulder, reassuring her.

At this moment, it wasn’t just Caroline; all the invading legions on Hero’s Continent had a victorious mindset, simply awaiting victory.

On the other hand, Desire Arises from the Heart, also heard this news from the mouth of a scout.

"You’re saying that they intend to launch a significant strike in three days, and the target is likely Xuanyuan Guild?" At that moment, Desire Arises from the Heart stroked his chin and asked a scout in front of him.

"Yes!" The scout nodded, "It seems they’ve decided to fight a decisive battle. Suddenly holding a meeting with several hundred people, this news cannot be concealed. With their current advantage, they don’t need to hide at all. They can defeat us openly. What should we do now?" The scout seemed to hold a high position and spoke without reservation.

Desire Arises from the Heart stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then said, "Arrange the forces of the guilds at our guild’s base, let’s ensure our survival first. As for Xuanyuan Guild, let them clash with the invaders, it’s good if their guild gets hit, it would diminish Dao Feng’s reputation. Some people keep saying I’m not as good as Dao Feng, and I can’t stand it anymore. Previously we couldn’t deal with Xuanyuan Guild, but now we can use other countries to destroy them, which is a good thing. Afterwards, we’ll take in their members, which will greatly strengthen our power." (To be continued.
