Heroes' Prison

Chapter 812 - 770: Studying Medicine, Younger Brother 2

"Of course I’m not willing to accept this." Second Brother Who Studies Medicine nodded and said, "If this continues, the God of Slaughter will become invincible again, and we’ll never have a chance to rise. So I agree with your idea to collaborate and take down the Hero Empire. However, I will be paying the highest price for this, so once we conquer the Hero Empire, I want the largest share of the rewards!" As he spoke, he fixed his burning gaze on Desire Arises from the Heart.

"Alright! After we take down the Hero Empire, the largest share will go to you!" Desire Arises from the Heart laughed heartily upon hearing Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s agreement, his tone brimming with confidence, as if the Hero Empire was already a fish on the chopping block, ready to be butchered and divided at will.

At this moment, Zheng Wen, the vice president of the Desire Kingdom, pondered for a moment and said, "So, which side should we collaborate with? Currently, they still have five super-first-class masters. On the surface, they seem united, but in reality, they’re divided into two factions. Heavenly Dao and Dante are one faction, while TNT, Ganges, and Kid are allies. We can’t work with all five of them simultaneously, as there’s tension between them. When it comes time to divide the spoils, conflict is inevitable."

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Let’s approach TNT, Ganges, and Kid! After all, they’re three super-first-class masters, which makes them stronger than the alliance between Heavenly Dao and Dante."

"Alright, let’s go talk to them right now!" Desire Arises from the Heart said, immediately taking the lead to leave the room.

An hour later, in another room, a secret meeting began.

There were six people in attendance: TNT, Ganges, Kid, Desire Arises from the Heart, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, and Zheng Wen.

All six were key players in the national war on the Hero’s Continent. They had originally been mortal enemies, yet here they were, sitting peacefully in the same room.

Anyone who saw this scene would undoubtedly be utterly shocked!

Desire Arises from the Heart cleared his throat and spoke first: "The God of Slaughter is our common enemy. This time, if we secretly work together, we can definitely take down the Hero Empire. This benefits both sides!"

"Let’s hear your plan first." TNT rubbed his bald head, leaned back in his chair, and asked lazily.

Desire Arises from the Heart nodded and began to explain, "The general plan is as follows: Kid, TNT, and Ganges, the three of you will lead your armies to pretend to attack the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s Main City—Heavenly Medicine City. Second Brother Who Studies Medicine will deliberately allow part of your forces to breach the city, creating a dire illusion that the guild is on the brink of annihilation. At that point, my Desire Legion will purposely hold back and not deploy reinforcements. Then, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and I will stage a dramatic fallout, and he will defect to the Hero Guild, personally going to Dragon City to seek the God of Slaughter’s help. If the God of Slaughter refuses, it will surely dishearten all the guilds under the Hero Legion. Thus, the God of Slaughter will have no choice but to agree and go to the aid of Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s guild. At that moment, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine will activate the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, trapping the God of Slaughter within Heavenly Medicine City, leaving him unable to return and defend the Hero Empire. Meanwhile, you three will still be outside the city. You will redirect your troops to attack Dragon City. Once Dragon City falls, the Hero Empire will collapse."

"But what about the Hero Empire’s Guardians? They have more than ten Heavenly Domain Guardians, especially the Level 272 Harbinger of Doomsday. If we don’t deal with these Guardians, there’s no way we can take down the Hero Empire," Ganges raised a critical question.

"We’ve already thought this through." Desire Arises from the Heart smiled faintly and said, "We have a rare S-Class Berserk Curse Potion. Once used, it can curse an NPC with the Frenzy Curse, reducing their defense by 90% while doubling their attack power. It makes the target indiscriminate, attacking friend and foe alike in a frenzy of slaughter for two hours, after which they will fall into a coma for 24 hours due to the side effects. If we cast this curse on the Harbinger of Doomsday, it will go on a rampage within the Hero Empire, killing the other Heavenly Domain Guardians. After the two-hour duration, it will fall into a 24-hour slumber. During that time, your armies can storm into the Hero Empire. With 24 hours of relentless assault, Dragon City will surely fall."

"This plan seems worth a try!" Kid thought for a moment and eventually nodded, his tone carrying a trace of lingering resentment. Not long ago, Huang Yi had, with mere words, scared him into retreat on Sunset City’s walls in front of countless journalists, causing him to lose face. The media still mocked him for it to this day. This time, he was determined to strike back, and the destruction of the Hero Empire was the best revenge!

At this point, TNT finally nodded as well and said, "Alright then. Let’s discuss the details and the division of spoils. Ganges, you’re the High Priest and have the best survival skills, so you’ll take the S-Class Berserk Potion to use on the Harbinger of Doomsday..."

The six of them then delved into the finer details of the plan.

Thus, a sinister conspiracy involving both allies and enemies began to unfold against Huang Yi. Perhaps no one would have expected that Desire Arises from the Heart, who always presented himself as a righteous leader, was secretly a vile traitor colluding with the enemy.

After the meeting concluded, they couldn’t wait to put the plan into action, lest delays cause unforeseen changes on the battlefield.

...

Two hours later, deep into the quiet night.

Huang Yi was at the top floor of Dragon City’s City Hall, listening to Zu Zaiyu’s intelligence report.

"Brother Yi, just now Kid, TNT, and Ganges’ armies launched a sudden and unprovoked attack on Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s Heavenly Medicine Guild! We received no advance warning from our scouts this time. After their last defeat, they’ve indeed become much more cautious, to the point where even their war council meetings are only known to a few core members," Zu Zaiyu reported, biting her lip slightly.

"What’s your assessment of this situation?" Huang Yi asked calmly.

Zu Zaiyu thought for a moment and replied, "The Heavenly Medicine Guild is Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s guild, currently ranked ninth among all the guilds on the Hero’s Continent. They’re already strong enough to hold out for a while. Plus, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine is currently the most important figure in the Desire Legion, so the Desire Legion should fully commit to rescuing them. We might as well wait and see—if the Desire Legion can resolve the crisis themselves, we won’t have to intervene."

"Alright, let’s go with your judgment. If they really need us, we’ll step in to help." Huang Yi nodded, his gaze returning to the moonlit Dragon City.

This city, the Hero Empire’s capital, was so beautiful under the moonlight, like a pearl in the Desolate Sands, stirring envy in many hearts.

...

Meanwhile, the armies led by TNT, Kid, and Ganges had already breached the outer parts of Heavenly Medicine City, the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s Main City, and were engaged in ferocious street battles. To prevent leaks, the leaders of the invading army—TNT, Ganges, Kid—and the Desire Legion’s top brass—Desire Arises from the Heart, Zheng Wen, and Second Brother Who Studies Medicine—shared their plan only with their most trusted confidants. The soldiers below remained entirely in the dark, fighting brutally with real blades and genuine fury, unknowingly playing their parts in the greater scheme.

At the same time, countless war journalists closely monitored the developments, live-streaming updates to TV stations and forums.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s clear that the Heavenly Medicine Guild is steadily losing ground. The outer city has completely fallen into enemy hands. Second Brother Who Studies Medicine is in the midst of an intense melee, fighting desperately, but no matter how powerful he is, he can’t withstand such overwhelming attacks. It seems inevitable that the Heavenly Medicine Guild will fall. Yet, even at such a critical moment, Desire Arises from the Heart has still refrained from sending reinforcements. This reminds us of the Desire Legion’s inaction when the Xuanyuan Guild faced an assault. Could the Heavenly Medicine Guild become the next Xuanyuan Guild? Will the Hero Legion step in to save them this time..."

This battle once again captured the attention of countless spectators. Since Huang Yi’s spectacular victory over five super-first-class masters in a single night, this was the largest-scale battle on the Hero’s Continent. However, most were watching purely to see if Huang Yi would make another legendary appearance, showcasing his extraordinary talent to annihilate the enemy’s attack and save Heavenly Medicine City. Little did they know, this entire battle was a carefully orchestrated trap targeting him!

"What the f***! Desire Arises from the Heart is refusing to send reinforcements—they’re so disheartening!" Suddenly, all the journalists focusing on Second Brother Who Studies Medicine heard his furious roar!

At this moment, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine was utterly consumed by rage, his expression twisted, his terror over the guild’s impending destruction vividly playing out.

"Boss, since Desire Arises from the Heart has let us down so much, why don’t we switch sides to the Hero Legion? The God of Slaughter will definitely help us. Any later, and our Main Battle Flag will be destroyed! Our guild will be forcibly disbanded!" cried the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s vice president, God-Slayer Tian Shang, his voice trembling slightly, his performance even more convincing than Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s!

"Alright!" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine swiftly nodded, his face resolute with determination. He promptly exited the Desire Legion and joined the Hero Legion.

This action unequivocally demonstrated the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s resolve. Their decision was real—no mere pretense. All their previous contributions to the Desire Legion were now history, and rejoining would mean starting over, significantly affecting their battle rewards.

At this moment, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine shouted to Vice President God-Slayer Tian Shang, "Hold out as long as you can. I’ll personally go to the Hero Legion to request the God of Slaughter’s help! For now, I’ll pass the Guild Leader position to you—you’ll handle all coordination!" With that, he immediately transferred his guild leadership to God-Slayer Tian Shang and left Heavenly Medicine City, urgently teleporting to the Hero Guild’s Dragon City.

His words, captured through the journalists’ live streams, simultaneously echoed in the ears of viewers worldwide.

Everyone immediately became highly anticipatory. A renowned veteran fighter like Second Brother Who Studies Medicine personally seeking out the God of Slaughter in front of the entire world—it was almost certain he would succeed. There was no doubt about it!
