Chapter 1544: Chapter 1544: What Kind of Person Is He
Ming Dalak let out a bitter smile. He thought of the same thing as Yang Yu:
"When I was confirming intelligence with other countries, they also asked about your whereabouts.
In response to the rumors, the Demon King’s army released the news that you had been eliminated.
Many soldiers from our country, who joined the war because of you, were disheartened after hearing this news.
However, there are also some who believe you won’t die so easily, speculating whether you are planning some big action."
"Even they realized that the Demon King will probably be more cautious towards our actions.
But compared to them, we are freer.
Freedom is our advantage.
Now that they’ve all appeared, it’s time to act."
Yang Yu raised a confident smile,
"Can you help me contact Heroic Warrior Volcrix?
The one we are most worried about when taking action is the Demon King. We need someone to restrain him.
Facing the Demon King is, after all, a hero’s duty."
Ming Dalak furrowed his brow: "I can’t guarantee finding him a hundred percent.
But I will do my utmost to create an opportunity for you and him to speak.
What is the waiting time you can accept?"
"Of course, the sooner the better. Unfortunately, it depends on how much time the Demon King’s army is willing to give us. If we can’t find him, I’ll have to devise a new plan."
Yang Yu seemed indifferent, as if he could accept any result, displaying a unique composure. However, he just didn’t want to put too much pressure on Ming Dalak.
The Demon King adopted this offensive strategy, undoubtedly trying to force them out.
If the Demon King really manages to capture the desired capital, it would be a double victory.
Although the speed of the Demon King’s army’s offensive has slowed down this week, they still occupied too much land, making this plan possible.
It turns out the Demon King wasn’t always waiting idly; he seriously considered the strategy.
The Demon King’s army wasn’t as imagined, thinking they could move forward triumphantly and win every battle. Instead, they started from the premise of failure, constantly maximizing their troops’ initiative.
Such an enemy is the most troublesome.
Very soon, Yang Yu’s waiting had results. Ming Dalak informed Yang Yu just a few hours later that they could contact the hero active in the Telun Republic.
This time, the king of the Sethis Kingdom finally did something useful.
Under pressure from all sides, he used a secret crystal ball to contact his daughter, Eena Setis. His daughter then relayed everything that happened to the hero, and only then did the hero agree to contact Yang Yu.
In a certain forest in the Telun Republic, Hero Lox opened and closed his hand, adapting to the changed intensity of his body.
In front of him lay the Demon Clan troops that had infiltrated the Telun Republic, using mountains and forests for cover. Heroic Warrior Volcrix’s companions were nearby, collecting spoils from those corpses.
After confirming there was nothing else to do, Hero Lox took out the crystal ball, connected with the Telun Republic high-level contact, which transferred to Ming Dalak, and finally reached Yang Yu.
Yang Yu simply mentioned the Demon King’s move towards the Luo Ze Empire, hoping Heroic Warrior Volcrix could go and resolve the crisis there.
"And what about you?
I’m not confident in my strength yet; it’s too early to confront the Demon King.
If you can come over and collaborate in battle, maybe the two of us can really hold off the Demon King.
If given a chance, who knows, we might even kill the Demon King.
You can’t come over—do you have some extra plan?"
Through the crystal ball, Yang Yu furrowed his brow, appearing quite troubled:
"I’m sorry, this action involves only you.
I do have some extra plans.
I had hoped that repelling Ammonval last time would make him cautious. I didn’t expect them to return so quickly.
These days, I’ve been preparing for that plan.
Then this situation suddenly emerged.
Once that plan is executed, I don’t know how long it will take to return to the battlefield.
Given the tense situation now, it’s certainly not the time to execute that plan."
"May I ask what plan you’re referring to?" Hero Lox’s tone was extremely curious.
Yang Yu smiled, "I can’t reveal the plan’s content to you yet.
What I can tell you is that if this plan is completed, we might fulfill what Hero Lox couldn’t achieve.
Utterly eliminating the Demon King, ensuring he’ll never interfere with this world again.
Perhaps Hero Lox knew that he couldn’t completely stop the Demon King’s invasion or found the answer later, and thus built underground mazes, leaving behind treasures."
"I see... Hero Lox, huh?" Hero Lox pretended to mumble, "How much do you know about the previous hero? I know nearly nothing. After you enlightened me, I’ve been busy enhancing my strength. Can you tell me what you’ve learned?
Maybe by understanding the previous hero’s life, I can better walk the path as a hero."
Yang Yu readily began narrating what he had seen in the giant dragon’s knowledge repository.
"...I learned about his life through the giant dragon’s knowledge repository.
His early life was genuinely heroic.
His later life became somewhat ordinary, and it’s said he returned to the Village of Heroes.
Perhaps, he found someone he liked and got married and had children.
It’s just that the Village of Heroes has been destroyed, and his descendants are likely...
Maybe... you are his descendant.
If you truly are his descendant, I hope you can save this world, like the heroes before."
"Hm. Truly an admirable hero story. I’ll keep that story in my heart. Since you’ve specifically contacted me, there’s no reason to refuse; I’ll do my best."
"You remain as upright as ever.
If you really can’t win, then try your best to escape.
There’s nothing shameful about escaping; the previous hero and I are very good at it.
I’ll adjust my plans according to the circumstances.
When I find a truly effective method, I will tell you about that plan in its entirety.
You focus your energy on fighting the Demon King."
Hero Lox nodded, magic power silently searched for Yang Yu’s location through the line, but Yang Yu’s location information had long been blurred by others, and he wasn’t able to use his magic power to pinpoint Yang Yu’s location.
"You’re going to tell me all about the plan? Aren’t you meant to execute it yourself? You must want to become a hero, that’s why you’re striving so hard, right?"
Facing this question, Yang Yu shook his head,
"In the beginning, that was indeed my goal.
But I’ve also gained a lot through this adventure, and I’ve begun to cherish what I have. I want to protect everything, and that’s why I choose to fight.
The same goes for you, right?
You are standing here probably because you hold the same thoughts as I do.
Volcrix, what are you fighting for?"
