Chapter 265 Plans and Preparations
"I understand your eagerness, but heroes, you need to stay focused and conserve your energy for the upcoming battle against the demons. I believe the demons will launch their second attack soon."
This statement calmed the players.
If Hanjun was right, and the demons were about to launch another attack, could they sustain themselves with their current strength?
Could they protect the faltering Ulon City?
The players felt uncertain
.
Hanjun recognized the gravity of the situation and knew that they would no longer misjudge their priorities.
Flower Deer hesitated for a long time but still couldn't help but ask, "But even so, besides us, who else can support the logistics?"
Hanjun waved his hand dismissively, "You don't need to worry about that. I have already reported our situation to the God of Light, and the God said that He would soon summon a new batch of heroes. With them providing support from behind, I believe you will definitely succeed."
Master PungPong then remembered that, before logging in today, there was an announcement about an open beta. Experience exclusive tales on empire
This meant that countless players would hear the news and choose to purchase equipment from the World of Eorera to become new heroes.
However, after entering the game, they were still low-level players.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the battlefield against the demons, they wouldn't be of much help.
But they could assist with these logistical tasks, and once they successfully leveled up through these tasks, they would be able to join the battlefield at a certain level.
With Hanjun's guidance, Master PungPong and his group finally understood Hanjun's plan.
They had to admire how well-organized it was.
The huge weight that had been hanging over their heads had finally found some resolution, and they felt a bit more at ease.
After all, if the demons truly overran Ulon City, their beginner village would be gone for good.
Speaking of this matter, Master PungPong also asked his doubts, "Since the barrier was breached, why don't we set up a new one? This way, we could block the demons outside Ulon City again."
Before Hanjun could answer this question, Spicy Flavor Fairy stepped in to provide an explanation.
"You helped set up the barrier last time, so you should know that the cost of establishing a barrier is quite big. Furthermore, we don't know if there are still the Order of the Shattering Light followers lurking in Ulon City.
If we expend a large amount of resources and energy to set up a new barrier, and the Order of the Shattering Light followers learn how to destroy it and manage to do so, it would be a waste of effort."
In summary, the weaknesses of the barrier were already exposed to the Order of the Shattering Light followers.
They would likely find opportunities to destroy the barrier and might even set up traps within it.
It would be better to forgo setting up a new barrier at this time and shift focus to more critical options.
Hanjun swallowed the words he was about to say and instead nodded his head in agreement with Spicy Flavor Fairy's analysis, also expressing his stance.
Master PungPong hadn't thought much about it before, but now he suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."
Hanjun responded, "Exactly."
Noticing Master PungPong's low spirits, Hanjun said a few comforting words, and then casually assigned them a new task.
Upon receiving the mission, Master PungPong was overjoyed and left in high spirits.
In the end, only Hanjun and Father Barry remained in the church.
With a serious expression, Father Barry asked, "Holy Son, why deceive the heroes? From the current situation, our chances of defeating the demons seem extremely slim..."
Hanjun gazed in the direction they had left and sighed, saying, "It's better to let them know they're about to lose a battle than to let them go in with a sliver of hope. Besides, though slim, it's not entirely impossible..."
Father Barry asked, "Are you referring to the discussions you had in the Royal City of Orinthia?"
Hanjun was silent for a moment.
In fact, he hadn't participated in the final meeting of various countries.
He had been in a rush to capture Duke Haillenarte and return to Ulon City, so he missed the last meeting.
He was also unaware if the agreement with King Varis had been upheld.
He had no idea whether the countries had changed their stance in the end.
In his mind, the best outcome would be if all the nations participated in the war, which would greatly strengthen their forces.
However, that was just the best-case scenario.
Father Barry continued, "We must consider the worst-case scenario. Forgive my boldness, but you can't be too optimistic about humanity..."
Although Hanjun was part of this world, he couldn't deny that not all humans were like him.
During the time when the God of Light was dormant, the environment Father Barry had lived in was the clearest proof of this.
No one believed in the Church of Light anymore, simply because the God of Light had fallen into a deep sleep and no longer provided the power to save humanity.
As a result, the Church of Light faced utter destruction—at the hands of their own kind, no less.
Not to mention those who acted purely out of self-interest.
Father Barry didn't want the God he worshipped to hold on to hope, only to be gradually disappointed.
However, Hanjun looked at him seriously and said, "I believe in you."
Hearing this, Father Barry felt a surge of warmth in his eyes, but what came out of his mouth was, "Isn't that a little hopeless?"
He quickly realized what he had just said and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I misspoke."
This was the first time Father Barry had been so disrespectful toward the God he worshipped, but Hanjun just shook his head with a smile.
He thought Father Barry had always been too serious, which had led him to become like this.
Changing his demeanor a little wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
