But now...
and?
What a load of crap!
They're not playing with you anymore!
"Yes, what did the other party say?"
A nobleman in the front row of the Imperial Council Hall asked his subordinate who had come to report.
"The messenger from Aldrich said that the Sword Hero believes that the primary task of the heroes is to defeat the demons, but they have wasted too much time and energy on the Hero Alliance."
"Let's just stop cooperating with the Empire and cut this plan off completely..." the subordinate said nervously.
"Sword Hero..."
"Sword of Courage ¤鵡—‖Dwelling Samurai∽≤缌泤}_Approximately <〔Flying％〕Group: One?!"
"Tsk, that person really is that kind of person..."
They didn't know An Yi, but they had heard of An Yi's deeds.
Judging from his usual style, he must be a decisive and efficient person.
As for the entry of our country into the Hero Alliance, there were indeed many ups and downs, and it was only through their constant compromises that this result was achieved.
And then it kept compromising...
The result, however, was a complete and swift retaliation from the other party.
Immediately, the nobles in the conference hall blushed.
They were already quite friendly to the Hero Alliance members, so why did they get this result?!
That's too much! !
"This matter must be reported to the Emperor!"
"We are the world's number one empire! Do these lunatics think we're easy to bully?!"
"They must be taught a lesson!"
……
Meanwhile, in a stronghold in the deserted city, a previously abandoned basement has been renovated to look presentable, at least enough to be a place where people can stay.
This is the meeting room for the heroes.
An Yi stood in the conference room, looking at the group of heroes around her: "Everyone, I have some news to tell you."
I refused to cooperate with the Hope Empire and decided not to establish the Hero Alliance within its territory.
They might make things difficult for us with the transport of supplies, but compared to that, I'd rather not have a bunch of pampered good-for-nothings interfere with our dangerous operation.
"Spoiled...do you mean the heroes in the Imperial Army?" a hero asked.
“But aren’t all heroes pretty much the same? They all have to fight demons, and half a year has passed. They should have accumulated some experience and be able to help us by now, right?” another hero asked.
They didn't understand the specifics.
In their imagination, an army should be fighting countless battles on the border and fighting to the death with the enemy.
Shouldn't the brave warriors of the army have experienced even more brutal battles with more demons?
"My esteemed heroes, you are unaware of this!"
At this moment, a believer took a dozen or so sheets of information about the heroes and simply pasted them on the blackboard behind An Yi.
"Here are a dozen or so of the most elite warriors in the Empire of Hope. Please take a close look at their campaigns against the demons during this period."
The warriors all had excellent eyesight; even at this distance, they could clearly see the enlarged text on each document.
The best record for each of these heroes seems to be just...
They helped kill the high-level goblin.
This is nothing unusual; most players will have this kind of assist record.
A high-level goblin might be attacked by several squads, but only one squad can get the kill record.
An assist doesn't mean anything; it just means they didn't deliver the final blow.
However... some of the heroes discovered something amiss.
"The areas where they operate are quite far from the Empire of Hope."
At this moment, Rox, the Demon Warrior who had traveled throughout all of humanity's territory and was very familiar with all the regions, spoke up.
This time she wasn't a plant; she genuinely discovered something. (Yi)
At this moment, a believer suddenly took out a small stack of maps from under the table and began distributing them to everyone present.
The heroes who received the map began to examine it carefully, looking up at the information on the heroes of the Hope Empire while looking down at the regions on the map.
Then they discovered...
"Indeed, they're all so far away. Why don't they operate around the empire's perimeter?" (Qi)
"That's right, their empire's heroes should be guarding the border regions of their empire, why are they running off to such a far place?"
"Some of the Empire's borders are low-risk, low-priority areas, but there are also quite a few high-priority areas. Why haven't they been cleared of risk yet?" lin
The problem is that, given that there are clearly low-risk, high-priority regions—regions that should have been downgraded long ago—why do they still exist?
There's only one thing that can be proven. (Forwarded)
That is because the heroes didn't go to the area to cleanse the demons.
Why?:
That must be the hometown of most of the heroes in the empire, right?
The adventurers wondered if the map had expired, but when they checked the date, it was still yesterday.
Wait a minute, could this be a deliberate fabrication? A smear campaign? Surely not?
"I know everyone is skeptical about the authenticity of this, but I regret to inform you that it is true."
At this moment, Lycorina, who had been standing next to Annie for a long time, spoke up.
Contrary to her usual cheerful and playful demeanor around An Yi, she stood dignified and serious.
"I haven't been here for the past few days because I've been investigating matters concerning the heroes within the Empire of Hope."
The investigation revealed that these heroes would only level up by assisting in other regions before returning to the empire's capital to await orders.
As they continued their advance in certain areas, they once again dispatched warriors of sufficient rank.
"The areas that these heroes should be protecting are still given high priority, and they haven't properly protected their hometowns at all."
If I'm not mistaken, this is the Empire deliberately concealing the situation in their homeland.
I believe these brave warriors will be willing to protect their homeland, however...
Regardless of the heroes' situation, I feel that the Empire of Hope is no longer a suitable partner for us.
"Wow—"
The heroes were in an uproar.
Who would have thought that the world's number one empire would be doing something like this behind the scenes?
Qi An Yi spoke again: "I don't think these heroes can participate in our plan."
At least, I don't think they have enough practical experience.
The warriors present were all elite warriors, warriors with proven achievements and rich combat experience.
Six is far superior to those lowly, insignificant figures from the Hope Empire who merely try to gain experience.
Far away on the other side of the human border, Elsa finished a large-scale raid.
Qi's target this time was not the longsword goblins, but a wolf-like demon race that occupied a part of the forest.
Unlike goblins that start at level 1, this type of demon starts at level 5 and goes up to level 9.
Therefore, even if only a few hundred gather, a large number of warriors of suitable level are needed to participate in the subjugation.
This is the fourth time Elsa has led the heroes to wipe out these wolf packs.
Within her domain, the killing intent suppressed these low-intelligence beasts, making it much easier for other heroes to subdue them.
Elsa has only one goal: to become the alpha wolf, the highest-ranking member of the pack.
It wasn't just to help other heroes, nor was it simply because he had a grudge against these demons, but rather...
She wanted to gain combat experience.
After experiencing the battle against the Goblin Empire alongside An Yi, she realized something.
That means if you want to defeat more demons, you have to fight more demons!
It sounds like nonsense, but she has figured out her own way to improve.
No matter how much combat techniques you tell her or how much training she does, she won't know her true potential until she faces a real demon.
Therefore, she chose the slowest but most suitable training method for her.
He fought the same demons many times until he could predict their attacks just by looking at their movements.
That is, what An Yi told her was to think about the enemy's attack intentions.
If you can't guess her answer just by looking, then observe her more!
Simply rote memorization.
After fighting the same type of demon many times, you'll always remember their attack methods!
From the Goblin Servant to the Goblin King, she has defeated countless Goblin Empires, leading wave after wave of heroes to conquer one after another.
Now, she can tell what attack a goblin will make just by raising its hand, and she can respond immediately.
An Yi Biao Jiu ∩}澌∴≥隣泗＄偲仲‰%�qUN: The "step ahead to dodge the goblin" move that appeared before, she can now do it too.
Upon realizing this, she admired An Yi even more, thinking that An Yi must have killed a lot of goblins to become like this!
He must have undergone much more rigorous training!
