Chapter 1232 Yu Shun - Part 2
"The Federation of Allurion and the Divine Church have sent their people and also their mercenaries. They attacked our sub-region in Lisbon. No one from the Belem Guild survived, and we fought the mercenary from The Federation of Allurion a few days ago, a hundred of them; thirty-eight Epic Ranks, thirty Ancient Ranks, twenty-two Myth Ranks, and ten Primordial Ranks."
Yu Shun tensed up when the ranks were mentioned. That was not just a mercenary, but elite of elite even in The Tang Empire.
"We won of course. They faced the wrong opponent; Sis Mengyao, Sir Moonsong, Sir Alton, and Sis Rosa were there…. Ah, you haven't met Sis Rosa yet. She is Brother Shaoyang's wife, and I would say that she is the strongest if we exclude Brother Shaoyang, Sir Moonsong, Sir Alton, and also The Kirin. I have a chance if I can sneak up, but she is one of our strongest."
"We captured six mercenaries, and we managed to get some information. It seems The Federation of Allurion and the Divine Church intended to take the unconquered territories first instead of trying to fight us. We don't know their motive, and the mercenary also did not know why. So yeah, for now, we are in another stalemate, racing to conquer territories as much as possible."
"I see…." Yu Shun nodded his head, then he met Lu An in the eyes. He finally understood why Lu An was coming to him, but he pretended to be ignorant, "And you haven't told me why you came to meet me? I am not sure if I can be of any help to resolve the problem we face right now."
"Of course, you can!" Lu An stood up from the chair and held Yu Shun's shoulder, "You are also one of our strongest before, and it's not too late for you to catch up, Yu Shun. We need your help, you alone are an army. How can you say that? And I come here to ask you to come back. We need you, Yu Shun!"
"NO!" The answer came from Luo Lan, not Yu Shun. She stood up from the chair and raised her voice, "NO! We finally can live peacefully now, and I will not let him fight in the frontline again! Never!"
Lu An let out a sigh, "I understand your concern, Sis Luo Lan, but we need every man that could fight for us. We don't know what we will face, and we need everyone to work together. We haven't lost yet, but if we lost, you will also lose this home. We will lose the city we have rebuilt, we will lose everything. The best scenario, if we lose, is that you two will be slaves, and the worst scenario is The Divine Church will exercise Yu Shun because of his class."
"Of course, I will not force Yu Shun to come back," Lu An raised his both hands, "The choice is still with him. Fight and win, try to fight and die, or do nothing and die. Those are the choices, and it's for Yu Shun to decide."
Luo Lan could not refute Lu An as that was what likely happened to them if the Tang Empire lost the war. She was aware of the consequence of losing a war. However, she was still reluctant to let her husband fight again.
"I will say yes if I am totally cured, but my answer will be a no," Yu Shun shook his head, "You three in this room would be the first to know about my condition. I can still hear Antorias' voice in my head. He can no longer influence me, but his whisper is still in my head. I am afraid going back to the battlefield will make his influence on me stronger."
Lu An and Yeon Hee were shocked to hear that. They thought Antorias could no longer communicate with Yu Shun after Tang Shaoyang defeated Antorias' manifestation. Of course, Luo Lan was the one who shocked the most. She was the closest person to Yu Shun, and she did not know anything about this.
"Or you can get rid of his voice by becoming stronger," Lu An suddenly said, "If you become strong enough, that might help you get rid of Antorias' voice in your head. I am not sure about that, but it's possible, no? What about asking Brother Shaoyang?" He tapped his forehead as he remembered Tang Shaoyang was still inside the Dimensional Tower, "I forgot Brother Shaoyang is still inside the tower. He goes into a berserk mode to reach Legend Rank as soon as possible to fight the God Rank in case they come to Earth. Let me message him instead, Brother Shaoyang's spirits might know something about your implication."
While Lu An was waiting for the reply, Luo Lan looked at her husband, and reached his hand, "Are you really going to come back to Tarrior?" The worries in her tone were obvious. She did not want that, but just like what Lu An said, the decision was in her husband's hands. Especially when he could hear the voice, they could not have a peaceful life if the voice was still in his head. They needed to find a way to get rid of the voice.
"If becoming strong is the only way to get rid of this voice, then yes, I will return. I am…. I am afraid that I will hurt you if suddenly Antorias takes over your body again…. But I promise you, this will be the last. Once I get rid of the voice, I will leave the Tarrior. No more fighting, no more monster," Yu Shun gave his wife a weak smile. The voice could do nothing, but the fear that Antorias would take over his mind and body again was still in his heart. He still remembered what happened when Antorias took over, and he was lucky that he did not hurt his wife. However, he did not know what Antorias would do next time, and he did not want to take his chance the next time. He wanted to get rid of the voice and be done with it.
