After obtaining the artifact, Wu Yu, following the previously agreed plan, led the adventurers from Green Town to the Black Cloud Mountains.
Wu Yu, alone with his sword, stood guard at the most dangerous pass in the entire mountain range, while the other adventurers hid in the concealed spots ahead.
According to Wu Yu's plan, he would block the demon army's advance here, while the other adventurers would cut off their retreat, turning the demons into a dumpling.
In Layton's words, it was a decision only a madman would make, but Wu Yu felt he had absolutely no reason to fail.
Wu Yu had been sitting cross-legged on a huge rock for a day and a night. Except when he was eating, Wu Yu's body remained as still as a sculpture.
Wu Yu tried to keep his mind calm, because the impending killing might disrupt his composure.
As the truth gradually comes to light, Wu Yu's doubts only increase.
If he had approached these issues with the same half-baked mindset as before, he would never have been able to grasp the truth of these matters. Therefore, Wu Yu tried to think about them from a different perspective.
Regardless of good or evil, regardless of preferences, think in an absolutely rational way.
Whatever a person does, it is ultimately for the purpose of obtaining something.
He had already seen what Violet had done, so he no longer needed to rack his brains trying to figure out why she did it; he only needed to understand what the consequences of her actions would be.
During this time, Wu Yu had been frantically deducing this matter in his mind, but he could not get an answer. No matter how he thought about it, Violet ultimately gained nothing.
Instead, he didn't take the imminent demon army to heart.
"Wu Yu, Layton and his men have discovered the demon army's whereabouts. Are you ready?"
Suddenly, Joyce's question came from Wu Yu's ear.
Joyce was arranged by Wu Yu to be a communications officer. Although Joyce has some ability, she is not from Green Town after all, and Wu Yu cannot force her to work for Green Town.
Even if Wu Yu absorbs the vast majority of the martial power later, it doesn't mean that others won't be in danger. When the chaotic battle begins, everyone is at risk of losing their lives.
That's why Wu Yu deliberately avoided having too much contact with these adventurers during this period. He was still somewhat moved when he discovered that those whose names he knew had suddenly disappeared from his side.
Since it's impossible to harden one's heart from the root, it's better to avoid these risks in advance.
"There's no need to prepare for such a small matter." Wu Yu remained as calm as ever. He wasn't the type to be high-profile, but the more at ease he appeared, the more at ease others would be.
"Good luck." Joyce was stunned for a long time, and in the end, she could only utter these two dry words.
In her eyes, Wu Yu was as if a curtain had been artificially drawn over him, and she still had no idea what kind of person was behind it, even after spending more than a month with him.
However, she had a lot of faith in Wu Yu's strength. Wu Yu's strength seemed to have no upper limit. Along the way, no matter what difficulties they encountered, he could easily resolve them. This young man was simply the epitome of victory.
"Stay by Jess's side after we get back to Green Town. I'm afraid some of them might escape to the town. Jess's place should be the safest place for them," Wu Yu reminded him before parting.
"What about the others? There are only ordinary people left in the town. If even one demon breaks in, it will probably be a massacre." Joyce frowned. Wu Yu's solution was just a passive avoidance and could not solve the problem of demons breaking into the town at all.
"I don't think people need to worry about things that are beyond their control. It just adds unnecessary troubles," Wu Yu said coldly. "Of course, if you want to do something else, I won't stop you. Anyway, I don't need to be responsible for your life or death."
"Hmm." Wu Yu was cold-hearted by nature, a fact that Joyce knew all too well. It was already a surprise that Wu Yu would specifically arrange a way out for him today. Joyce knew he couldn't push his luck, so after responding, he could only leave quietly.
Wu Yu suddenly opened his clear black and white eyes and watched Joyce's departing figure. Wu Yu did not intend to say anything to stop her.
Without putting any burden on himself, Wu Yu believed he had done his best, and he was now gradually beginning to understand the code of conduct that Jack had mentioned.
Doing good deeds as much as possible without infringing on one's own interests should be the pinnacle of human morality. Self-sacrifice for others is unacceptable no matter how you look at it.
"He's actually a pretty good person," Wu Yu said with a hint of regret.
Holding the Dark Origin in his hand, Wu Yu leisurely arrived at his designated spot and stayed there for about half a day before finally seeing a dark mass of figures.
With his extraordinary eyesight and the calculation ability brought by his mental strength, Wu Yu counted the number of enemies in about ten seconds.
Four thousand three hundred and twenty-one.
It was about four times the size of the goblin tribe Wu Yu had encountered last time, but the quality of the two was worlds apart.
As a regular army, their front line consisted of a group of kobold warriors, whose average combat strength was at the first tier, far surpassing that of the goblins who were not even as good as ordinary people.
The central force consisted of highly mobile wolf riders, with a group of spearmen in the rear.
Wu Yu estimated that if those adventurers really encountered this group of regular demon soldiers, they probably wouldn't be a match for them.
However, these troops were not Wu Yu's focus; his attention was on their leader.
