Heroes' Prison

Chapter 914 - 863: Fake Intelligence

"Don’t worry about it, you did your best!" Yun Yi listened to these words, his face calm, and reached out to take the exquisite magic wand from the Tidal Calling Siren Princess.

As soon as he touched this wand, Yun Yi clearly felt a surge of divine power. This aura was ancient and simple, as if it had traveled through the vast rivers of history, experiencing countless hardships and changing hands many times before finally landing in his possession.

Such a large part of the Divine Artifact fragment was almost comparable to the Sea Dragon Emperor’s Sea-Calming Divine Staff, and its value was immeasurable.

Next, Yun Yi went to the ship’s cabin and chatted with the crew players of the Cloud Sail Battleship for a while. They had sailed back specifically because Yun Yi’s reincarnation was almost over, and they came to deliver the Divine Artifact fragments to him.

An hour later, he left the Cloud Sail Battleship and returned to the Oskan Royal Academy, while the Cloud Sail Battleship sailed away from the Central Continent.

Now, Yun Yi didn’t need to take this ship back because he had the Induction Stone from the Fallen Messenger and could return to Hero’s Continent anytime, which was much faster than by ship.

Moreover, after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, his travel speed would be substantially upgraded, allowing him to reach Hero’s Continent from Central Continent in less than a day. If he had a treasure or secret technique for traveling, that speed would be even faster, just like when the powerhouses from the Half-Beast Holy Land were dispatched to pursuit him, they quickly reached Hero’s Continent.

...

In Hero’s Continent, Yun Yi and Qin Shiyu had already completed a day in the Tower of Pantheons.

They arrived at the famous Dragon City attraction, the Sky Garden, lying on a remote patch of grass.

Above them was the magnificent starry sky, with countless stars flickering, especially the enormous Bright Moon, surrounded by seven Colored Stars.

Below them was the myriad lights of Dragon City, streets and alleys bustling with life, the buzzing sound faintly rising.

Now, Dragon City had undergone an expansion, becoming several times more prosperous than before, with the street lamps dazzling from the high Sky Garden, like a piece torn from the starry sky and laid upon the ground.

"Brother Yi, sometimes I really don’t want to fight and kill; I just want to lie here quietly and look at this beautiful starry sky, forgetting those troubling things." Qin Shiyu lay lazily on Yun Yi’s arm, saying.

"But often, we can’t do that." Yun Yi pulled Qin Shiyu into his arms and said softly, "A person’s life is a struggle against oneself."

"Why are you suddenly so sentimental?" Qin Shiyu turned over and asked Yun Yi, looking at his face.

"Perhaps it’s because of that Hero Trial!" Yun Yi pursed his lips, staring at the Red Star in the sky, and said, "In the Hero Trial, I followed humanitarianism and saved an innocent person, but I had no choice but to kill him. In the real world, I killed former Chairman of the World Federation, Beino Kang, and to prevent Era of Corporation from using the resurrection surgery on him, I very inhumanely burned his body to destroy the evidence. Everyone called me a perverted murderer with no humanitarianism, but I had to do it."

"Beino Kang was a bad person, killing him was a good thing." Qin Shiyu seemed to notice Yun Yi’s feeling of loss and quickly comforted him, resting her head on Yun Yi’s chest.

Yun Yi touched Qin Shiyu’s hair with a slight smile, saying, "You don’t have to comfort me, I’m not feeling down; I’m just emotional, I don’t care what the world says about me."

"Perhaps many people scolded you before, but that’s not the case now! At least most people on Hero’s Continent consider you their hero, saving this land. Even in other countries, many people admire you, and the World Federation’s facade is increasingly despised. We are no longer at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion. This morning, when I went out, I saw a group of men wearing T-shirts with your face printed on them!" Qin Shiyu said, looking sweetly at Yun Yi.

"It’s not that simple." Yun Yi shook his head, "As long as the World Federation stands, I won’t be truly vindicated, and this requires tremendous effort. We haven’t even toppled the World Federation’s power in The Second World."

"By the way!" At this point, Qin Shiyu seemed to remember something and said, "Tomorrow is Friday, are you really going to lead an army to besiege the invading army’s Red Cliffs City?"

"Why go?" Yun Yi replied, "I’m just a week away from the end of my reincarnation, and there’s no need to take risks, they should be the ones worried. I merely deliberately leaked this intel to confuse the enemy, serving as a delaying tactic. They definitely want to win this national war before my reincarnation ends, and I purposely leaked this message to disrupt their battle plans. In the coming days, they should be unable to resist making the first move, and we’ve prepared so many contingencies; let’s see them reveal their hand first."

Saying this, Yun Yi closed his eyes and leisurely enjoyed the last peace before the great battle.

The bright moonlight shone on his face, adding a touch of tranquility.

Gradually, a night passed.

The next day, after Yun Yi had breakfast, he first checked the forums.

"Pharaoh’s Legion’s final battle defeats Giant Bear Legion, obtains a large amount of World Stone resources in the mysterious island!"

"Earth-shattering secret! Sword Emperor ascends to Heavenly Realm, but no heavenly phenomenon appears!"

"Pharaoh’s Kingdom battle ends, stopping at Grand General Rank! Besides Pharaoh, Gentleman, T.N.T, God of Slaughter, and Heavenly Emperor have all reached Great General Level, and the first marshal may emerge from the Hero’s Continent battlefield!"

"God of Slaughter’s level restored to 167, the end of reincarnation is only one week away. Under such pressure, the Hero’s Continent national war might soon have a winner!"

"Famous analyst Poet favors Hero’s Continent’s victory, predicting the emergence of the ’Sword Dragon Slayer’ combo!"

Today’s news was extensive, with no doubt two pieces standing out importantly.

The first was that Pharaoh and Giant Bear’s national war had ended. Their national war was the second largest in scale, second only to Hero’s Continent’s war.

With their war concluded, the global focus now centered solely on Hero’s Continent’s national war. Previously, the world had to split attention between the two national wars, but now, all eyes were locked on Hero’s Continent, and this national war would soon conclude.

Many analysts, including the famed Poet, had published analyses, and even he referred to Hero’s Continent’s main lineup as the ’Sword Dragon Slayer’ combo.

The second important news was the mysterious Sharp Sword. Now the entire world had already noticed the weirdness of his ascent to the Heavenly Realm. He ascended, yet no heavenly phenomenon appeared, such an anomaly could not escape the eyes of the people. Many made various and varied speculations, but the exact reason was only known to Sharp Sword himself.

After browsing today’s news, Yun Yi logged in.

He directly teleported to Hero Harbor and then went to Dragon Sea, heading to the Sea Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Palace.

...

Today was Friday.

Friday is commonly regarded as an ominous day, with Western nations having the term "Black Friday." In the invading army’s high command on Hero’s Continent, this day was an important one.

Because they received intel that Yun Yi would lead the Hero Legion in an all-out assault, encircling their Red Cliffs City and completely destroying their largest stronghold on Hero’s Continent.

This information was painstakingly gathered, known by only a few, and they attached great importance to it, quietly laying the Heavenly Net awaiting the Hero Legion’s arrival.

Once the Hero Legion arrived, they would launch a thunderous counterattack, using all means to capture all the key leaders of the Hero Legion, finally winning this long-drawn national war.

However, on the surface, Red Cliffs City seemed no different from usual, even appearing somewhat lazy.

At this moment, Miyamoto Musashi, the Pope, and T.N.T were standing near a window in a high-rise within the city, patiently waiting.

"The Fallen General and Unbeaten, have they all prepared?" The Pope seemed a bit uneasy and turned to T.N.T for confirmation.

"Relax! They’re all ready. Now the Seven Archdemons have reached a critical stage of invading The Second World, with many things in the final preparation phase. They each have important tasks among the Demon Clan, very busy without time for anything else. But for this intel, they’ve set aside their tasks to ambush the Hero Legion, showing sufficient sincerity," T.N.T reassured with a wave.

"Let’s patiently wait! The intel on God of Slaughter and their invasion today is absolutely reliable, we’re here to end this national war!" Miyamoto Musashi stated confidently, his eyes glued to the Red Cliffs City below.

The entire Red Cliffs City, along with concealed vantage points hidden from view, had already stashed numerous Magic Cannons and other large siege equipment. Countless core figures were in their positions, performing their duties.

On the other side, the high-ranking master of the Demon Clan, the Fallen General, was patiently lying in ambush in the Abyss of the Central Continent. He stood like a giant suppressing this place, and the strong beings in the Abyss were all cowering, not daring to make a sound.

Behind the Fallen General stood six powerful Demons, their aura bursting into the sky, forming almost solid black wolf smoke.

Each of these six individuals had an aura far surpassing the former Fallen Messenger. However, they exuded a deathly aura, with no pulsating veins, no heartbeat, no life energy, seemingly just six machines knowing only destruction.

The entire Red Cliffs City could be likened to a minefield, where anyone daring to come here faced devastating attacks.

At this moment, all the high commands of the invading army were on edge, awaiting the commencement of this final battle.

But they did not know that Yun Yi, who they were bracing for, had no intention of sending troops but instead went to Dragon Sea’s Dragon Palace to attend to another important matter.
