Heroes' Prison

Chapter 813 - 771 God of Slaughter Trapped

Not long after, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine arrived in Dragon City and met with Huang Yi, Zu Zaiyu, Sunset, Overlord, Knight, and other senior members of the Hero Guild in the reception hall.

"God of Slaughter, please save us! The enemy has already breached our guild’s interior!" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine gasped for breath as he urgently addressed Huang Yi, his eyes filled with desperation.

"Why isn’t Desire Arises from the Heart helping you?" Overlord suddenly asked, his voice hoarse as his cloudy gaze fixated on Second Brother Who Studies Medicine.

"Bah! Desire Arises from the Heart is nothing but an animal!" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine spat, adjusted his glasses, and angrily said, "When I asked him for help, he claimed that his forces were stationed in other battlefields and couldn’t assist us! That’s clearly an excuse. What future is there for a pathetic legion like this? All it does is break people’s hearts! I regret not joining the Hero Legion earlier!" After his rant, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine turned to Huang Yi and pleaded, "God of Slaughter, please come and help us quickly!"

"Huh?" Huang Yi suddenly frowned and asked, "Aren’t you the guild leader of the Heavenly Medicine Guild now?"

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine nodded and said, "I am! But the situation over there is so critical that I passed the position of guild leader to our guild’s deputy leader, God-Slayer Tian Shang, leaving him fully in charge to stabilize things temporarily. That’s the only way I could come here to ask for your help! God of Slaughter, please assist us quickly! My brothers can’t hold on much longer!"

After speaking, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine suddenly realized that Huang Yi was staring at him in a daze.

At that moment, Huang Yi was staring intently at Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, motionless. His gaze was incredibly profound, like a statue locked into a trance.

"God of Slaughter, what’s wrong with you?" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine waved his hand in front of Huang Yi’s face, puzzled.

"Oh, it’s nothing," Huang Yi suddenly snapped out of it, blinking and shifting his gaze away from Second Brother Who Studies Medicine. Then, turning to the other senior members in the room, he asked, "What do you all think?"

Sunset, the Battlefield Group Commander of the Hero Guild, adjusted his heavy armor and was the first to speak. "The enemy’s assault is too fierce. They have three super-first masters and a significant number of first-class masters. We must send in our own super-first masters. How about Gentleman and I lead the troops into battle?"

"You and Gentleman alone won’t be enough!" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine quickly shook his head, his expression grave. "The enemy has T.N.T., Kid, and Ganges—three super-first masters. Only God of Slaughter personally stepping in can handle them!"

Huang Yi nodded. "Alright, I’ll go personally."

Upon hearing this, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine felt a wave of relief wash over him. Their plan was already halfway to success!

"Do we still need to mobilize the troops?" Knight asked while polishing his sword.

Huang Yi nodded, scanning the others before saying, "Knight, Sunset, Overlord, Zu Zaiyu, each of you will lead your respective forces to the four other sub-territories of the Heavenly Medicine Guild to prevent the enemy from making any moves on them."

Battlefield Group Commander Sunset furrowed his brow and said, "All four armies moving at once? That would leave the Hero Empire dangerously vulnerable. What if the enemy attacks us here?"

Huang Yi waved dismissively. "Don’t worry, we have the Guardian. The enemy can’t break through! Just the Harbinger of Doomsday alone is enough to defend the Hero Empire!"

After speaking, he turned to Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and said, "We’ll need another hour or so to prepare. You must hold on! I will teleport to your location in one hour!"

"What? Another hour?" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, who had just felt a bit reassured, grew anxious once more. "We can’t hold on much longer over there."

Huang Yi replied calmly, "You can hold on. Have confidence in yourselves. Once we’ve allocated our forces here, we’ll protect every city within the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s territory!" He patted Second Brother Who Studies Medicine on the shoulder, emphasizing, "We’ll protect every single city! Trust me!"

Seeing Huang Yi’s unwavering determination, which didn’t seem like it could be swayed, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright, I’ll return to hold the line. You must come as soon as possible!"

With that, he turned and left in haste.

Huang Yi’s gaze followed Second Brother Who Studies Medicine before sweeping toward the others in the room. "Alright, let’s move! Quickly!"

After speaking, he sent a message to Gentleman, instructing him to lead his troops as well.

...

Time steadily ticked away as countless spectators worldwide glued their eyes to the live broadcast.

The battles in Heavenly Medicine City continued. Thanks to deliberate troop maneuvers by both sides’ upper management, the city managed to hold on miraculously. The killing went on unabated, and none of the fighters realized they were mere chess pieces in grander schemes.

In the Teleport Plaza, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine paced anxiously, awaiting Huang Yi to walk right into the trap.

The enemy had already pushed their forces into Heavenly Medicine City. If too much time passed and the War Flag wasn’t captured, suspicions would surely arise. They couldn’t afford to delay for too long.

"Charge in!" A thunderous sound of battle suddenly erupted from the city gates.

Startled, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine quickly looked over and saw a massive wave of invading troops flooding through the gates—so numerous they seemed to stretch endlessly. Once inside the city, they launched into a frenzy of slaughter, their skills’ radiant flares wreaking havoc everywhere they went. The Heavenly Medicine Guild was losing ground rapidly.

The war correspondents were quick to report, connecting the dots immediately. "We’re now seeing even more devastating news for the Heavenly Medicine Guild. Two additional invading armies have entered the city—Sate Legion and the North African National Alliance. With the addition of these forces, it seems the Heavenly Medicine Guild is truly on the brink of annihilation! This colossal investment of resources into Heavenly Medicine City might soon fall into enemy hands!"

"Damn it! How did Sate and North Africa suddenly get involved?" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine cursed under his breath and hurriedly messaged T.N.T., Kid, and Ganges for an explanation.

These two factions weren’t part of their original collaboration. Their unexpected entrance into the city risked disrupting their plans.

T.N.T. quickly replied: "They weren’t invited by us. This must be a misunderstanding. When super-first-class legions take action, other legions often tag along to reap some of the spoils. They likely saw us breaking into your Main City and assumed you were bound to lose, so they came to snag some easy benefits. Don’t worry, this won’t affect the bigger picture. When God of Slaughter shows up, I’ll have a word with their commanders and get them to back off. Just hang in there a bit longer. Compared to conquering the Hero Empire, these small setbacks are nothing."

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine felt a bitter resentment swell within him. These enemies were dealing real damage to their guild, and the losses were very real. Yet he was powerless to do anything about it. To maintain the facade, he could only watch as the enemy slowly slaughtered their members and seized the hard-won city they had built up block by block.

As each agonizing minute passed, both sides’ leaders and all spectators were eagerly awaiting Huang Yi’s appearance. Many war correspondents stationed within the city focused their cameras squarely on the Teleport Plaza.

Finally, under the gaze of millions worldwide, one of the teleportation circles in the plaza began to glow. Huang Yi’s familiar figure materialized!

At that moment, war correspondents worldwide and countless spectators felt their eyes light up in unison!

The news quickly spread to both sides’ leaders!

"God of Slaughter, you’re finally here!" Second Brother Who Studies Medicine exclaimed, beaming an extraordinarily radiant smile—a smile of utter relief.

Simultaneously, the current acting guild leader of the Heavenly Medicine Guild, God-Slayer Tian Shang, issued a command: "Shut down the teleportation circles and reactivate the Heavenly Curtain Barrier!"

With this order, the trap for Huang Yi was officially sprung!

In an instant, audiences worldwide were greeted with a new sight—

The Heavenly Curtain Barrier over Heavenly Medicine City, thought to be broken, suddenly reignited. It resembled an enormous, immaculate glass dome, encapsulating the city entirely!

Now, the interior and exterior of the city were completely cut off. Outsiders couldn’t enter, and insiders couldn’t leave! Moreover, all teleportation circles within the transfer plaza were disabled, cutting off any teleporting capability!

Heavenly Medicine City had effectively become an isolated Lonely City. Even teleportation skills were rendered useless against the barrier’s total lockdown.

This scenario mirrored the time when Huang Yi had been trapped in Northern Sea City within the Land of Dongying. Once again, he was truly stranded.

But the surprises were far from over. Shortly after, all players from both the Heavenly Medicine Guild and the Hero Legion received a shocking announcement: the Heavenly Medicine Guild had officially withdrawn from the Hero Legion!

They had joined the Hero Legion only earlier that night, yet they withdrew immediately upon Huang Yi’s arrival!

This meant that Huang Yi, as a Legion Commander, no longer held any authority within this city. He now had the same status as any ordinary player!

"What... what’s going on?" Countless people looked at each other in confusion, even the typically sharp war correspondents momentarily speechless!

Huang Yi raised his head, glancing at the Heavenly Curtain Barrier above, then turned to Second Brother Who Studies Medicine with a furrowed brow. "What’s the meaning of this? Why did you suddenly withdraw from the Hero Legion? Is this some kind of joke?"

Second Brother Who Studies Medicine feigned a bewildered expression, shrugged, and said, "I’m just as puzzled! It’s nothing to do with me! I handed over the guild leader position to God-Slayer Tian Shang when I went to Dragon City to ask for your help. This was all his decision!"
