Heroes' Prison

Chapter 815 - 773: Pretend Play Turns Real

The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine anxiously gazed toward the direction of the Magic Tower, swallowed his throat, and exclaimed to Huang Yi, "The enemy’s offensive is too fierce! God of Slaughter, quick, we must stop them!"

After saying that, he immediately sprinted toward the Magic Tower, followed closely by Huang Yi and a group of war reporters.

The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine ran as he repeatedly urged T.N.T to hurry and command the Sate Legion and North Africa Legion leaders to retreat.

At this moment, T.N.T, who was advancing on the other side, was also extremely irritated. The Sate Legion and North Africa Legion were outright ignoring his orders! No matter how many messages he sent or how much he explained, the two legions simply wouldn’t listen!

"These two legions actually refuse to obey my orders! What the hell are they doing?!" T.N.T angrily pinched the bridge of his nose, his brow tightly furrowed into a sharp crease.

"If they won’t listen, so be it. Anyway, it’s the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s loss, not ours. Once the Hero Empire is defeated, we’re heading back to wipe out those two legions!" Kid casually waved his hand, speaking nonchalantly.

"I guess that’s the way it is!" T.N.T sighed deeply, raised his head to glance at the moonlit sky, and said, "I’ve done all I could. The fate of the Heavenly Medicine Guild is now in the hands of God."

After saying this, he ignored the urging messages from the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, pretending he hadn’t seen them.

...

Inside the Guild Main City of the Desire Kingdom, Guild Master Desire Arises from the Heart was standing on the top floor of the City Hall alongside Vice Guild Master Zheng Wen. Both held goblets of red wine in their hands, sipping with elegance.

Desire Arises from the Heart took a sip of red wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and enjoyed himself as he said, "That fool God of Slaughter is trapped in Heavenly Medicine City. I’d like to see how he plans on saving the Hero Empire now. T.N.T, Kid, and Ganges—these three Super First-Class Masters are unstoppable!"

Zheng Wen nodded in agreement, anticipation gleaming in his eyes as he said, "Once the Hero Empire is destroyed, we’ll seize Dragon City. It’s the most prosperous city of all! And we’ll piss right atop their City Hall’s highest level in front of the God of Slaughter, making him rage till he spits blood!"

"Brilliant idea!" Desire Arises from the Heart licked his lips and added, "What a shame that Qin Shiyu has been missing for a while. Even after mobilizing my father’s resources, we haven’t been able to dig up her whereabouts. Otherwise, I’d capture her in the real world, make merry with her in front of the God of Slaughter—that would be truly exhilarating... Hmm? Why’s the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine suddenly messaging me? Could it be some good news?" As he spoke, Desire Arises from the Heart noticed a message from the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine!

Beaming with anticipation, he opened the message.

Soon, his smile froze, and the goblet of red wine slipped from his hand, shattering on the ground. The spilled wine resembled fresh blood, crimson and sharp.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing this, Zheng Wen immediately asked with concern.

Desire Arises from the Heart swallowed hard and urgently said, "Quick, deploy reinforcements to Heavenly Medicine City!"

"Reinforcements to Heavenly Medicine City?" Zheng Wen frowned deeply. "The plan was for Heavenly Medicine City to pretend to be overrun by the enemy. Why are we sending reinforcements now?"

Trembling, Desire Arises from the Heart replied, "The fake has turned into reality! Heavenly Medicine City is going to be wiped out! The Sate Legion and North Africa Legion aren’t even obeying T.N.T’s orders anymore! They’re attacking Heavenly Medicine City with full force. You need to send troops for reinforcements personally!"

At this point, Desire Arises from the Heart was genuinely panicked, his focus entirely on the Heavenly Medicine Guild.

His alliance with the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine was far stronger than with the other guilds of the Desire Legion. Their two guilds had been allies since their foundations, and he and the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine shared a close friendship in private.

Over recent days, countless guilds had exited the Desire Legion, but the Heavenly Medicine Guild remained steadfast. It was the core strength of their legion, the one guild that Desire Arises from the Heart could truly control without resistance. While other guild leaders often harbored reservations against his orders, the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine didn’t!

If the Heavenly Medicine Guild were to be dissolved, the Desire Legion would truly lose a vital arm!

...

Within Heavenly Medicine City, Huang Yi and the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine had already reached the central zone of the city.

"On our way here, it seems like we haven’t seen much of any forces. This is your guild’s Main City, so why is troop deployment so sparse?" Huang Yi asked casually as he walked alongside the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine.

"I don’t know. Damn it!" The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine cursed irritably.

He wanted to mobilize forces from other regions to support Heavenly Medicine City, but it was too late. At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for the Sate Legion and North Africa Legion to crush their Subsidiary Battle Flag!

For now, he could only gather what little manpower remained in Heavenly Medicine City and direct them all toward the Magic Tower in a desperate bid to resist.

Night wind roared, skills surged, players shouted!

Everything was so urgent!

"Da-da-da!" In the dark of night, members of the Heavenly Medicine Guild rushed toward the direction of the Magic Tower. The urgent sound of their footsteps echoed through the alleys.

They dashed through alleyways and streets, their figures fleeting amid the interplay of lamplight and darkness, creating fleeting silhouettes akin to cinematic snapshots.

"Hurry to protect the Main Battle Flag! Faster! Faster! Faster!" A team leader shouted anxiously at the players behind him.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a sharp arrowhead emerged from his chest. The blood-coated metallic shaft gleamed sharply under the moonlight.

The team leader staggered and fell!

Immediately, a group of players from the North Africa Legion charged out from behind him, their numbers overwhelming his team, wiping them out in an instant!

Similar scenes played out across the streets and alleys of Heavenly Medicine City. The Sate Legion and North Africa Legion swarmed with overwhelming forces. Their sheer numbers crushed the Heavenly Medicine Guild utterly. Many players didn’t even make it to the Magic Tower before being slaughtered.

"Boom!" Another blast from a Magic Cannon exploded near the Magic Tower, leveling surrounding houses!

The Magic Tower bore the brunt of the blast, with chunks of masonry crumbling away, exposing the interior of the tower.

The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and Huang Yi, now close to the Magic Tower, looked ahead and saw a scene of devastation. Enemy figures swarmed amidst billowing dust, converging from all directions on the Magic Tower, ready to breach and destroy the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s Main Battle Flag.

Seeing this, the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s eyes filled with rage. He turned back to Huang Yi and bellowed, "God of Slaughter, you have heaven-defying abilities—hurry and stop them! Our Main Battle Flag is about to be destroyed!"

"Didn’t you just say earlier that I’m still trapped in Reincarnation, without any combat power? Not to mention, this is merely my incarnation, which lacks strength altogether. My intervention would be useless," Huang Yi replied calmly as he stared at the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine.

The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s mouth twitched. He had indeed said those words earlier, intending to mock Huang Yi for being unable to protect the Hero Empire.

Yet now, those mocking words were turned against himself!

With a twisted expression, the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine charged toward the Magic Tower alone, waving his arms desperately and shouting at the enemies, "You mustn’t go in! Stop! Stop right now!"

His frantic gestures were broadcasted by the war reporters behind him, transmitting his absurd and helpless figure to audiences worldwide.

In that moment, this veteran master appeared utterly laughable and hopeless, gesturing futilely as if his hand signals could halt the chaos.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" In response, flashes of light from skills, arrows, and energy blasts tore through the night sky, emitting piercing whistles as they poured toward the Second Brother Who Studies Medicine.

The barrage forced him to halt abruptly! He no longer dared to charge forward!

All he could do was freeze in place and watch as the enemies stormed into the Magic Tower, disappearing from his sight.

Though he couldn’t see inside the Magic Tower, he could vividly imagine their Main Battle Flag being relentlessly assaulted by countless enemies!

Suddenly, regret swelled within him. If he hadn’t agreed to Desire Arises from the Heart’s conspiratorial plan against Huang Yi, the Heavenly Medicine Guild would still be intact, still ranked ninth within Hero’s Continent!

But now, everything was vanishing rapidly!

A fake battle had turned into a real one!

The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s defeated silhouette stood amidst the high ruins, surrounded by flames rendering the scene desolate. The raging fires illuminated his solitary figure. Wild echoes of killing seemed distant, as though from another world. Heaven and earth felt void—all but him.

"Crack!" At that moment, a heavy sound emerged from inside the Magic Tower, transmitted clearly through thick walls.

The sound resembled something breaking!

Moments later, a cold, emotionless announcement reverberated across the heavens—

"[Regional Announcement]: Sate player [Silver Wolf] has destroyed the [Heavenly Medicine Guild] War Flag. [Heavenly Medicine Guild] is forcibly dissolved. Guild Master [God-Slayer Tian Shang] and Founder [Second Brother Who Studies Medicine] are prohibited from creating a new guild for one year."

The announcement echoed down every street, every alley, every garden—reaching everyone in the area!

All members of the Heavenly Medicine Guild gripped their weapons and stood still, lifeless statues in the darkness.

The home they had fought to defend was no longer theirs.

Heavenly Medicine Guild Vice Guild Master God-Slayer Tian Shang, hiding in the corner of a residential building, concealed himself in endless shadows.

He had shouldered the stigma of a traitor for this plan, yet now, not only had the Hero Empire not yet fallen, his Heavenly Medicine Guild had been destroyed first!

The Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, standing amidst rubble, stared blankly at the distant Magic Tower.

He hadn’t just heard the sound of the War Flag snapping—he also heard the sound of his dreams shattering.
