This kind of carefree attitude is something An Yi can't teach them. Of course, he can't just casually run to the Hero Alliance and say, "The demon race isn't as dangerous as you think."
If possible, he still hopes that the heroes will maintain the greatest sense of crisis.
It's like a sophisticated machine; the experienced operator knows how it works and can control it with ease while ensuring his own safety.
If it were a group of junior apprentices, the master craftsman could only tell them to stay away, observe and learn more before trying to do it themselves.
In the past two weeks, in addition to the successful Saintess Squad, the Fighting Warrior Squad has also found another stable way to defeat different demon leaders.
That day, they successfully completed the first kill of the first demon leader.
This demonstrated their strength and also aroused the greed of one of the demon leaders.
It's important to know that hiring several assassins who can reliably kill other level eight demon leaders is very expensive.
These "demons" are quite something; they can take care of its enemies for free right from the start.
Then...wouldn't it be able to take this opportunity to swallow up a few organizations?
Even if you can't swallow it all, you can still get some benefits while the other side is in chaos.
In a balance of power among various organizations, getting a taste of this benefit is not as simple as just providing intelligence.
"These seven things, I'll provide you with intelligence on the leaders of each organization, and in return, you help me kill them, how about it?"
A level eight demon leader used a magical artifact to remotely communicate with four people in a dark room.
"How can we trust you?" asked Blaze, the Warrior of Battle.
“I don’t need your trust, just like I don’t trust you now.”
I'm afraid you'll kill me if we stay in the same room.
I only provide the information; whether you believe it or not...
"Do as you please."
On the table in the dark room, a blue-black magic stone lit up, beneath which lay all the information on the city's level eight demon organization.
The room fell completely silent. The four of them chatted in the group chat for a while before Blazer went over and picked up the documents.
The other party clearly did not trust them; their absence meant they had already found a place to hide.
The four members of the Fighting Heroes team had no need to trust the other side, after all, they posed a great threat, and the other side might set a trap for them.
But... thinking about it carefully, there must be a reason why the other party took the initiative to provide this information.
Kill them?
No, it's obviously more profitable to use them to kill other leaders!
It's true that the other party's life is threatened, but they're hiding now!
If we hide, our lives will be safe.
Why kill those four?
If we just hide for a while and let the four of them deal with the other leaders, wouldn't we be able to reap the benefits when we come out?
Such a simple principle shouldn't be hard to understand.
[Fighting Hero: Let's give it a try, anyway, I haven't reached the level cap yet.]
The four of them haven't used their special abilities yet, let's take a gamble!
The above events occurred a week ago, just two days after the ambush of a level 8 helmeted leader.
By the third day of the tenth month and three weeks after the birth of the Holy Hero, the Fighting Hero Squad had already reached the level cap of 170.
And then, the return journey began.
Returning to the original supply point, they prepared to scout out the next city to conquer.
This is the original process;
Select a city, conquer it until the level cap is reached, return to the supply point, select the next city, conquer it until the level cap is reached, and return to the supply point again.
No other hero squad is as reckless as the Saintess Squad, who just fight their way through without even choosing a hero.
Back with the Fighting Heroes team, it had taken them a week to travel, but thanks to the increased points, they managed to return to the supply point on the last day of the third week.
They returned to the house they had bought in the demon realm, only to find it completely empty.
"Nobody's back yet," said Franti, the Flute Hero, looking at the almost unchanged first-floor lobby.
Almost nothing changed, but the door lock was still broken, and the thieves observed for a long time before daring to come in.
The first floor only had some furniture used for disguise. The floorboards were not lifted, and the drawers and cabinets were probably opened, but after finding nothing, they were closed again.
Upon arriving on the second floor, we found that it had also been slightly altered, but all we found was a dilapidated conference room with everything laid out before us; even the map on the blackboard had been removed.
There were no tables or chairs worth stealing.
Being robbed is commonplace in the Demon Realm, so no one is surprised.
After a quick glance, Blazer said to the Lion Warrior Singu, "The three of us will stay here. You go back and report the intelligence."
“Okay.” Xingu nodded.
Actually, there isn't much difference in agility between Blazer and Xingu; both are high-strength, high-resilience warriors. #=]0∠.
However, as the hero of the beasts, Xingu has a powerful sense of hearing and smell, and his stealth ability is naturally stronger than that of Blaze, so it would be better to have him deliver the intelligence.
Xingu left the Viscount's city and rushed all the way to a Baron's city.
That is, a small demon city directly facing the Hope Empire.
However, just as he reached the city's border and was about to leave the demon territory and arrive at the wasteland where the demon and human territories met, he discovered that something was amiss.
On the side of Baron City that faces the Empire of Hope, there are noticeably more demons dressed as soldiers.
It was none other than the city defense army of the demon race.
"After all that talk, has the Empire finally started making some moves?"
Xingu couldn't help but laugh.
Having infiltrated the wasteland opposite the Empire of Hope, he had already reached level 170 before this group began their attack on the Demon Baron's City.
How could he not scoff at the thought that the Hope Empire might not even have a level 100 hero?
However, the sudden increase in guard strength also caused him some trouble.
It probably won't be so easy to leave the city during the day.
Although his agility was not low, he had completely overwhelmed most of the demons in this small city.
However, it is difficult to remain completely undetected at a heavily guarded border.
The border city gates were tightly closed. Since demons and humans had no interaction to begin with, closing them had no impact.
It's usually kept open because demons sometimes go to live outside the city, but who cares about them now? ≥∑三≈∝〇≮∥wu|
Those living outside had long been killed by the heroes of the Hope Empire as a warning before the war.
If you want to leave the city, you can't leave through the city gates, so you have to sneak out through the city walls.
Given Xingu's attributes, this city wall can't stop him, but...
This city wall was designed for demons, and it is inherently higher and larger than human city walls, so it would be too obvious to simply jump over it.
Xingu didn't want to reveal his actions, so he decided to turn back and explain the situation to the other three members of the team.
They returned to the supply depot outside Baron's City late at night.
The supply point was located in a relatively remote area, and there weren't many warriors from the Empire, so the flames of war hadn't spread there.
"Great!" The young Phantom Hero Zom strode out of the illusion, looking happily at the approaching Xingu. "I thought no one would come this week either!"
"Brave Lion, please come in!"
"Okay." Xingu agreed and followed Zom into the illusion.
The footprints stopped abruptly on the ground, as if the pedestrians who had walked here had suddenly vanished.
Once underground, Xingu met Felia, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
When Felia saw that only Xingu had returned, she was also taken aback;
"Where are the others?" she asked.
"They're probably still fighting demons in other cities. Don't worry, although level eight demons are very strong, they have the divine armor given to them by the Heavenly God, so dealing with them isn't difficult," Xin Gu said.
Zom chuckled and sighed, "Of course I'm worried. After all, everyone used to come back on time, but this time it's been so long and only Mr. Lion Warrior has returned."
“The situation is different now, and I actually wanted to talk about this when I came back this time.”
Everyone is busy fighting the demons and doesn't have time to come back for supplies or to report back.
The original plan was to establish a base in the demon realm and then periodically return to obtain supplies and share intelligence.
The result was…
Xingu shrugged and continued;
"The supplies have not been touched at all, and since everyone left separately, I estimate that only we have returned to the base, let alone shared any intelligence."
Any hero who leaves their base to fight the demons can sense something amiss.
“Alright, I will report this to the Hero Alliance,” Felia said solemnly.
Afterwards, Xingu began to report on his experiences within the Demon Realm and the process of defeating the Demons. This experience, when integrated into the Hero Alliance, is expected to inspire the heroes.
He hurriedly left before dawn.
If I don't go back tonight, I'll have to wait until tomorrow night to go back.
It was already dawn when we returned to our base in Golden Lantern City.
However, to his surprise, when he returned to the base, a second team of heroes had already returned.
The Sky Hero Squad returned.
Upon opening the door, you'll find [Sun Warrior] Seller and [Moon Warrior] Apollo both casually asleep on the floor, using their backpacks as pillows.
Meanwhile, Lan, the "Sky Warrior," and Shino, the "Star Warrior," leaned against the wall, huddled together, and fell asleep wrapped in the same blanket.
The sound of the door opening didn't wake them, so they must have been really exhausted.
