Heroes' Prison

Chapter 786 - 749: Winning Without a Fight

The Pope received this message, and his face instantly turned deathly pale!

Members of the Angel Legion Guild nearby, upon seeing his expression, couldn’t help but feel their hearts sink, and ominous suspicions crept into their minds.

Many journalists from TV stations also turned their eyes to the Pope, waiting for his response.

After a while, the Pope finally raised his head and glanced at Huang Yi on the distant city wall. Tightening his expression, he said, "God of Slaughter, I never expected you to have such a trick up your sleeve." Then, raising his voice by several octaves, he commanded, "Everyone, retreat immediately!"

With that, he promptly took out a Legion Return to City Scroll and, in an instant, teleported the once-dominant Angel Legion away from the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the bustling battlefield was now half-empty; all the invading enemies had disappeared at once.

This battle had astonishingly been brought to an end by Huang Yi with just a few words. This was even more unbelievable than winning through sheer strength—subduing the enemy without a fight!

The crowd, stunned by this sudden turn of events, was at a loss for words. However, reflecting on Huang Yi’s earlier statements, it wasn’t difficult to piece together that Thunder God might really be attacking the headquarters of Heaven’s Guild. Otherwise, why would the Pope abandon a victory that was within his grasp and retreat in such haste?

At this moment, some TV hosts abruptly interrupted their broadcasts with breaking news: "Dear viewers, we’ve just received a major update. Moments ago, on the distant American Continent, an important guild war suddenly broke out. Thunder God, leading a coalition of local U.S. guilds, launched a surprise attack on Heaven’s Guild. Currently, Heaven’s Guild is scrambling to respond and suffering heavy losses."

Some analysts quickly connected the dots based on this new information, providing quick insights into the unfolding situation: "Reflecting on the earlier exchange between God of Slaughter and the Pope, it’s not hard to see that God of Slaughter has likely been in collusion with Thunder God, setting a trap for Heaven’s Guild. The Pope’s abrupt retreat clearly indicates his intent to rush back to the American Continent to rescue Heaven’s Guild headquarters. But given the vast distance between Hero’s Continent and the American Continent, can the Pope make it back in time to take control of the situation? And with the Pope absent from this continental war, what changes await Hero’s Continent?"

...

Thus, the Styx Sect Guild’s Wolf Mountain Sub-Territory was successfully defended. This battle was resolved entirely by a few words from Huang Yi.

In stark contrast, was the ** Legion’s army. Despite a painstakingly deployed force, they failed to secure the Wolf Mountain Sub-Territory, whereas Huang Yi saved it effortlessly with just a few words. This prompted many to reassess the strength of both the ** Legion and the Hero Legion.

"God of Slaughter, thank you!" At this moment, the Styx Sect Guild’s leader, Diesu Qiufeng, approached Huang Yi and expressed his gratitude. Behind him stood other high-ranking officials of the Styx Sect Guild, including the Battlefield Group’s leader, Wind Elf.

"No need to thank me. We had this contingency in place from the start. If it were any other guild in trouble today, we’d have stepped in just the same." Huang Yi shook his head with a smile. He was merely putting on a show to flaunt the Hero Legion’s strength.

At this moment, the Battlefield Group’s leader, Wind Elf, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "God of Slaughter, this is the second time you’ve helped us. The first time was when I was kidnapped by that beast Miyamoto Musashi. Were it not for you saving me, I wouldn’t be alive to repay this huge favor."

"It was a small effort, not worth mentioning." Huang Yi waved dismissively, taking it lightly.

"Boss, I think we should just leave that incompetent ** Legion and join the Hero Legion instead!" Wind Elf suddenly suggested to Diesu Qiufeng, his tone clearly harboring longstanding dissatisfaction with the ** Legion.

"Alright! I’ve been thinking the same!" Diesu Qiufeng agreed without much hesitation. On the spot, he announced that the Styx Sect Guild would withdraw from the ** Legion and formally join the Hero Guild.

Since the Styx Sect Guild’s guild level exceeded Level Twelve, making it a Super-First-Class Guild, the system immediately issued a continent-wide announcement—

"[Continental Announcement]: [Styx Sect] Guild has left the [** Legion] and joined the [Hero Legion]."

This announcement caused yet another uproar across Hero’s Continent! Just recently, the Sun Guild had joined the Hero Legion, and now the Styx Sect Guild followed suit!

With this, the newly established Hero Legion, which had only existed for a few days, had already gained the allegiance of four Super-First-Class Guilds: Hero Guild, Xuanyuan Clan, Sun Guild, and Styx Sect. Additionally, there was Dugu Lengcang’s guild, which, while not at the level of the previous Super-First-Class Guilds, was still a significant Great Guild within Hero’s Continent, not to be underestimated.

On the other hand, the strength of the ** Legion had taken a drastic hit. Two of their Super-First-Class Guilds, Xuanyuan Clan and Styx Sect, had left, along with Gentleman, their sole Super-First-Class master.

With these shifts in power, the gap in strength between the two legions was no longer insurmountable! The ** Legion’s remaining advantages lay solely in their longer time in the conflict and their larger member base.

"I believe, in time, you’ll all be grateful for the decision you made today. I’ll take my leave now and head to the next battlefield." Huang Yi nodded to Diesu Qiufeng and Wind Elf, then sent a message to Lv Bu, the leader of the Hall of Famous Generals...

...

At this moment, in the Hall of Famous Generals’ Chaisang City, Lv Bu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and others were fighting a bloody battle.

The forces under Miyamoto Musashi’s command were launching a ferocious assault, having already shattered the Heavenly Demon Barrier and pushed into the streets and alleys of Chaisang City.
