Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1177 - 1116: Expedition

As soon as he logged in, Yun’s true form appeared in the Half-Beast Holy Land.

Since three days ago, after his true form lured the Flame Cult Leader to the Half-Beast Holy Land, he hasn’t left since, always lurking here.

Yesterday, he found an opportunity to sneak into that Holy Mountain and has been lying in ambush, monitoring the situation in the Half-Beast Holy Land.

These days, Chieftain Barbarian Saint, High Priest Li Ge, and other Half-Beastman leaders have been busy deploying military forces, mobilizing personnel, and setting up defensive power.

Now, the Half-Beast Holy Land is fortified like a steel fortress, not even a fly can get in.

What they absolutely couldn’t have imagined was that Yun, their number one enemy, had already infiltrated their core.

Yun stood in a concealed spot on the mountaintop, looking down.

The vast plains stretched endlessly, fertile lands spread for miles, and in the distance, the Half-Beastman villages and towns could be seen clearly.

All the gates of Half-Beastman towns and villages were tightly shut, the walls, arrow towers, and watchtowers fully guarded, all on high alert, ready for action.

Along the way, at every beacon tower, dry haystacks had been piled up, and each Half-Beastman Guard was holding a torch, ready to light the signal fires at any moment.

The Holy City, destroyed a few days ago by the Flame Cult Leader, had already been reconstructed with layers of defensive fortifications, siege machinery set up, operators in position.

The city walls of the Holy City were lined with Half-Beastman archers, three layers inside and outside, safeguarding the Holy Land.

Outside the Holy City, on the plains, a tide of Half-Beastmen gathered, covering the expanse, stretching beyond the horizon.

They held their weapons, standing in formation with solemn expressions, silently ready to sacrifice for the Holy Land.

Several Half-Beastman leaders were weaving through the formations, sharp-eyed, exuding a menacing aura. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The momentum of millions gathered dissipated the clouds in the sky. The air was thick with the tense atmosphere of imminent war, with the Heavenly Curtain Barrier and Guardian Array System fully activated, awaiting the moment of race survival.

...

On the other side, Yun’s incarnation appeared at the Oskan Royal Academy.

Here, too, armies were gathering.

At the mountain gate steps of the Oskan Royal Academy’s entrance, legion formations were densely amassed, stretching from the mountaintop entrance to the plains at the foot of the mountain, with no end in sight, as more troops gathered from afar.

These legion formations were from various forces, both player and NPC, from all races and professions, but now they stood in neat formation like troops awaiting review.

Midway on the steps was a row of statues of the sages from various eras of Oskan Royal Academy, who once accomplished epic deeds in history, sculpted and standing here for future generations to admire. Now they quietly stood amidst the sea of people, witnessing the epic about to unfold.

At the topmost part of the mountain were the leaders responsible for this operation from various forces.

Standing at the forefront was an elderly figure with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the vast earth, his cloak fluttering in the mountain wind as if about to ascend into the heavens. This person was the headmaster of Oskan Royal Academy.

On the outskirts of the formations, including the sky above, were reporters flying busily, showcasing the scale of this military expedition.

Today, the world’s major media outlets were focused on this battle to exterminate a race, with journalists from various countries providing 24-hour continuous coverage.

Players worldwide were focusing on this war, rushing to the Central Continent to witness it firsthand, or going offline to forums or watching it on television.

When Yun’s incarnation appeared here, everyone’s eyes focused on him.

All reporters turned their heads, their cameras aimed at Yun’s incarnation from all directions.

In the live broadcasts watched by billions of players, his figure appeared simultaneously.

Even the previously unmoving headmaster finally turned his head to look at this most outstanding student, nodding slightly.

Then, the headmaster looked toward the millions of troops gathered on the steps and solemnly declared, "The Oskan Royal Academy has always strived to maintain the safety of the world. Now, the Half-Beastmen Clan has betrayed our world and colluded with the Demon Clan, posing a severe threat to world safety. Here, I, the headmaster of the Oskan Royal Academy, appoint the World’s Guardian — the God of Slaughter as the Grand Marshal, to lead the Allied Forces of various great powers to exterminate the Half-Beast Holy Land and eradicate their race!"

After speaking, the headmaster waved his hand, producing a golden appointment letter, and handed it to Yun.

Yun slightly bowed, extended his hands, and respectfully accepted the appointment letter.

"[System Prompt]: You have accepted the appointment letter from the headmaster of the Oskan Royal Academy, officially becoming the Grand Marshal of the United Legions, having the highest command authority over the United Legions, and accepting the world quest [Exterminate the Half-Beastmen Race]. If you successfully lead the army to exterminate the Half-Beast Holy Land, you will receive substantial rewards, and the soldiers participating in this extermination operation will also receive corresponding rewards based on their contributions."

Yun took a deep breath, turned to face the armies surging like a tide below the steps, and loudly commanded, "Legion Commanders, report your gathering status immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, the leaders of all major forces who were taking part in this expedition stepped forward before Yun and began reporting—

"The Hero Empire’s one million soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

"The Xuanyuan Guild’s 500,000 soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

"The Sun Guild’s 500,000 soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

"The Styx Sect Guild’s 300,000 soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

"Dragon Nation’s 200,000 soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

"The Warrior Alliance’s 100,000 soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

"The Draenei Race’s 300,000 soldiers are assembled and ready to set out at any time!"

Next, there were reports from the commanders of over a hundred large forces to Yun. This didn’t even include small forces and scattered players who were contributing resources to this operation.

The total number of the entire United Legions was over 6 million, all elite selected one-in-a-hundred, each capable of fighting ten men.

After all forces reported, Yun waved his hand and issued a loud order, "Set out immediately, flatten the Half-Beast Holy Land!"

Having spoken, he flew skywards, rapidly heading toward the Half-Beast Holy Land.

The leaders of all major forces followed closely, each flying into the sky, following Yun.

Then came the 6 million players, who flew into the sky in their formations, blanketing the sky as they flew towards the Half-Beast Holy Land.

The entire sky became a sea of people, with 6 million darkening the sky like a massive moving cloud, casting a vast shadow over the land.
