Heroes' Prison

Chapter 789 - 751: No Need to Save

"Miyamoto Musashi, the Pope has already retreated back to the American Continent, you should hurry and retreat too! Otherwise, your guild is finished!" At this moment, Huang Yi began to persuade him. Once Miyamoto Musashi led his army to withdraw from the national war, the strength of the invading forces would be significantly weakened.

Miyamoto Musashi’s face tightened, his gaze still exuding determination, and he coldly said, "Do you think one airstrike can force me to retreat? Now that your oceanic airship has revealed itself, it is destined to not escape our magic cannon counterattack. Your oceanic airship will have to retreat! And the Land of Dongying is our territory; we have plenty of ways to track your airship. As long as it lands, it won’t take flight a second time."

Upon hearing this statement, everyone immediately pondered and realized it made a certain amount of sense.

Oceanic airships’ airstrikes are not entirely invincible. Magic cannons on the ground can pose a severe threat to them. These airships can only achieve a surprise effect; once they’ve conducted one airstrike, they must quickly retreat; otherwise, they risk being shot down.

The Martial Arts Guild merely needs to relentlessly pursue the retreat path of these airships, and it wouldn’t be hard to deduce their landing location. Once those airships land, they could very likely face a complete massacre from the Martial Arts Guild’s army.

And to avoid the Martial Arts Guild’s tracking, the only solution would be to have these airships leave the Land of Dongying. In doing so, Miyamoto Musashi would have no need to return.

Huang Yi shook his head and said, "Miyamoto Musashi, since I dared to send airships there, of course, I’ve considered all possible scenarios. Rest assured, the airstrikes will continue. If you don’t return to the Land of Dongying, no one can resolve the threat of the airships. As for how my airships handle landing issues, that’s not something you need to worry about."

"Oh? Then why don’t you tell me where your airships can land? Now that your tactic has been revealed, it’s difficult to keep it hidden. Don’t underestimate our tracking capabilities." Miyamoto Musashi retorted.

Everyone shared the same question in their minds and turned their gazes to Huang Yi.

"It seems you’ve forgotten that in the Land of Dongying, there’s one place where my airships can land freely, while your forces can’t enter easily. If you dare to go to that place, you definitely won’t come out alive," Huang Yi continued.

Miyamoto Musashi was slightly startled, then his face changed suddenly as he remembered a certain place—

Northern Sea City!

To be precise, it’s the ruins of Northern Sea City!

He had forgotten about this place!

This area, to him, was indeed a forbidden zone. If his forces entered it, they truly might not return safely!

This was because it had already become Huang Yi’s territory.

Some time ago, following Huang Yi’s death in Northern Sea City on the Land of Dongying, that area had transformed into his territory. At level 150, he had awakened a Nefalem Talent—

[Demon God’s Curse]: Upon dying in unclaimed wild zones, the area within a 50-kilometer radius of the point of death will turn into a "Cursed Land." The Cursed Land belongs exclusively to holders of Nefalem’s Bloodline and cannot be stripped away by any means. All enemies within the Cursed Land experience a 50% reduction in all attributes, which lifts once they leave the area.

After Huang Yi’s primary body perished, a vast area surrounding Northern Sea City was instantly subjected to the Demon God’s Curse, whereby any enemy entering would see all attributes reduced by half. Meanwhile, those oceanic airships allied with Huang Yi could freely operate in this area without any weakening of their power!

Of course, in this talent, "death" refers to the death of the primary body; the death of an incarnation doesn’t qualify.

Miyamoto Musashi’s expression grew uncertain. He finally gritted his teeth and declared resolutely, "You’ve merely cursed that land; our forces’ strength will only be halved, which isn’t too severe. We can fully utilize swarm tactics against you, and you don’t even possess super elite masters capable of stopping swarm tactics. If double the troops can’t crush you, then triple, quadruple, quintuple the numbers surely will! On the Land of Dongying, we have plenty of manpower. I don’t believe your small numbers can persist!" After saying that, he shouted loudly, "Everyone, attack! Today, we must capture this city!"

Following his orders, Miyamoto Musashi continued fighting fiercely, and his forces resumed their previous relentless offensive!

Miyamoto Musashi’s tenacious nature became immediately apparent—he was always extreme in action, and once he decided something, it was hard for him to change course.

During the war on the Land of Dongying, he had gone to great lengths to kill Huang Yi, using every conceivable tactic, ultimately even destroying Northern Sea City. Such an uncompromising person was an exceedingly fearsome adversary! Huang Yi’s attempts to drive him back to the Land of Dongying with mere words seemed overly optimistic.

This time, Huang Yi’s verbal assault failed!

Just then, Zu Zaiyu suddenly sent Huang Yi a series of grim news—

The Ganges fleet had circled to the northern sea area of Hero’s Continent and was bombing several cities along their route!

Fuchan Fenrao had just landed on the Sun Guild’s Flying Dragon Island sub-territory, and the two armies had shifted from naval warfare to direct confrontation on the island!

Additionally, the United States’ super elite master Kid had just led his legion to attack the China region’s eleventh-ranked guild—Dragon Phoenix Gate’s Sunset Canyon sub-territory!

This meant that by tonight, five out of the enemy’s eight super elite masters had already taken action!

Super elite masters can only be countered by super elite masters. Simple swarm tactics are now vastly diminished in effectiveness against super elite masters of this level, as they possess various methods and tools to deflect the threat. Currently, Ganges, Fuchan Fenrao, and Kid were temporarily unstoppable; no one could defeat them.

Hero’s Continent had only three super elite masters participating in the national war, among whom Thunder God remained on the American Continent, Huang Yi was now in the Hall of Famous Generals within Chaisang City, and the Gentleman was in a frustrating position—he hadn’t logged in!

Clearly, the enemy was capitalizing on this rare opportunity to launch a large-scale assault while the Gentleman was offline!

Tonight, Hero’s Continent was likely to face the fall of territories! And this required ensuring that the other three super elite masters didn’t take action, or the situation could worsen!

The situation, which had just slightly stabilized, now seemed rife with chaos again!

The reporters, having rapid access to information, quickly learned of these developments and informed their audience: "Viewers, the transformations on the battlefield occur ceaselessly! Just now, God of Slaughter managed to push back the Pope’s attack and attempted the same against Miyamoto Musashi, but Miyamoto Musashi remained steadfast, and God of Slaughter’s verbal assault failed for the first time! Moreover, we’ve just received news that the invading forces’ super elite masters Ganges and Fuchan Fenrao are already gaining an advantage on their respective battlefields, and the United States’ super elite master Kid has also joined the attack! Tonight is an immense test for Hero’s Continent. The Desire Legion is already beyond hope; now all depends on the Hero Legion’s ability to repel these enemies! But with God of Slaughter barely above level 100, can he simultaneously handle these many battles?"

At this moment, all of China’s players found themselves in suspense again, unsure how Huang Yi would solve such complex circumstances. Four separate areas faced threats, all remote from Hero Empire’s core territories, rendering the Guardians ineffective, and Huang Yi himself was so lacking in power—how could he possibly stop the enemy?

If anyone else had been leading the Hero Legion, despair would have long set in, much like Desire Arises from the Heart, leader of the Desire Legion. Many reporters openly stated there was no point relying on the Desire Legion anymore; they had abandoned hope in them. However, people still held a glimmer of hope in Huang Yi; maybe he could find a way to drive back these enemies, as he had just done against the Pope.

Huang Yi flew high in the sky, as if seeing the hopeful gazes of countless players across Hero’s Continent. They may have been scattered across corners of the continent and cities, but their eyes seemed to pierce through infinite distances, placing their expectations on him.

"Lv Bu, I need to stop Ganges’ advance; I’m heading out now!" Huang Yi messaged Lv Bu, deciding to leave Chaisang City.

Lv Bu, currently struggling to fend off Miyamoto Musashi’s relentless attacks, barely keeping him at bay, stumbled upon receiving Huang Yi’s message and was nearly struck by Miyamoto Musashi. He quickly withdrew to stabilize himself and replied, "God of Slaughter, are you not planning to save this city?"

"It’s not that I won’t save it, but it doesn’t need saving anymore." Huang Yi replied swiftly, then flew rapidly toward the teleportation circle. Before long, he disappeared into the horizon, vanishing from the view of countless reporters, sparking imagination.

Lv Bu stared at Huang Yi’s words, his expression changing, as if this territory had been abandoned by Huang Yi.

"What’s wrong, Brother?" Seeking Flowers, noticing Huang Yi’s departure and Lv Bu’s grim look, paused to ask.

"God of Slaughter said this city doesn’t need saving. He’s left!" Lv Bu immediately relayed Huang Yi’s message, his tone heavy.

"That shouldn’t be the case!" Seeking Flowers furrowed his brows, his tone brimming with puzzlement. "You’re familiar with God of Slaughter’s style—if he’s here, he surely has a way to resolve this crisis. Although Miyamoto Musashi’s unexpected stubbornness prevented his retreat, God of Slaughter wouldn’t just accept failure so easily. When he says this city doesn’t need saving, could it mean something else entirely?"

"Hmm?" Lv Bu steadied himself, finding the situation indeed somewhat mysterious, and began speculating: "It seems possible. When he said the city doesn’t need saving, could it imply that the city is unmistakably saved, and there’s no need to spend more time here, which is why he quickly left to rescue another place?"
