The meeting ended, and Dongmu patted Yang Yu on the shoulder:

”I can tell that General Ajiket is very pleased that you were able to conquer Qinghe Volcano so quickly.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

General Ajiket has entrusted us with a very important task.

This is an acknowledgement of our capabilities.”

Dongmu clenched his fists together and revealed a warm smile,

”’Let’s set off quickly, I can hardly wait to give those humans a hard time.’

Though I’d love to say that,

I need to keep the promise I made to you and give you a little break.

You should take your reliable subordinates and challenge the Underground Maze.

If you can get some handy equipment, even better.

Be cautious with time, as people often become obsessed with the treasures in the maze, leading them step by step into the Abyss.

Of course, I believe that you are not one of those people.

Find handy treasures or those valuable enough to exchange for needed items from His Majesty and then come back quickly.”

Yang Yu smiled and said:

”That’s only natural.

Also, since our future itinerary is set, we are certainly going to be very busy.

I have some preparations to make that I can no longer handle myself.

Can you help me get in touch with General Duoshi?

I need his assistance.”

”That’s quite sudden. Why didn’t you mention it during the meeting?” Dongmu, pinching his chin, appeared extremely curious, ”Looks like you’ve thought of something clever?”

”It’s not really clever, actually, it’s a terrible idea.

It’s a demon’s idea.”

Yang Yu shook his head, and the smile disappeared from his face,

”Whether it’s practically feasible is still unknown.

Bringing up an immature idea during the meeting would only earn me disapproval.

We are already preparing, but it needs to be verified multiple times...

It might fail...

Moreover, my subordinates have told me about Magic Memory Crystals that can store real-life images.

If possible, prepare several of them.

They might come in handy later.”

Staring at Yang Yu’s face, Dongmu noticed that the usual confidence was absent, replaced by a hint of a frown.

Therefore, Dongmu didn’t press Yang Yu on what exactly he had in mind.

”Fine, I’ll have someone prepare them.

Prepare a hundred or eighty; I don’t believe you’ll use them all, and we can even record your heroic actions for everyone to admire.

Now, I’ll have someone contact General Duoshi for you.

Whatever idea you’ve come up with, whether it fails or not... I should say, it’s probably best if it fails once or twice.

With you around, I always feel like everything will turn out alright.

Hahaha, this is a recognition of your strength, nothing more.

Tch, I feel like I really don’t know how to speak anymore.

That thing they always say, um, failure is the mother of success.

That’s the idea.

Sometimes, failure is inevitable; how to handle it is up to you.

I know you’re smart, there’s no need for me to say this.”

Dongmu tried to act like a boss, but didn’t really know how to pull it off, instead, he jocularly smoothed things over.

Before the liaison officer connected them to Duoshi, Dongmu called everyone else out of the tent, leaving only Yang Yu to speak with General Duoshi.

When the connection was established, General Duoshi was surprised not to see Dongmu on the screen.

But upon seeing Yang Yu’s face, he quickly regained his composure and asked:

”You wanted to see me, what is the matter?”

Yang Yu looked at Duoshi, straightforwardly,

”General Duoshi, I want to borrow the help of your race to find something, it concerns the winter warfare strategy of Selovomen.”

...

Despite having prepared multiple strategies, Yang Yu had eventually decided to use a more impactful method of action.

But when General Duoshi mentioned that the item was not needed to be searched for, as it was abundant in his hometown, and if Yang Yu could empty it out, he should just try, Yang Yu became hesitant.

At last, Yang Yu somewhat absentmindedly said: ”Uh-huh, yes, yes, I’ll leave it to you then,” and severed the connection.

In front of the Crystal Ball, after taking several deep breaths, Yang Yu calmed his mind, stood up, and left the tent.

He greeted Dongmu and his own troops, arranging for a few reliable people to temporarily lead the team. Afterwards, Yang Yu found his squad and explained the situation.

There was no longer a need to be wary around Qinghe Volcano, they decided to move ahead to enhance their abilities.

Before officially leaving Qinghe Volcano, Yang Yu took Bai Jin and others to the mountain top of Qinghe Volcano.

Through the volcanic crater, Yang Yu could vaguely see the flowing magma inside, and he opened the task panel to look seriously at the ”Destroy” task Bai Jin had given him.

Bai Jin was also staring at Yang Yu with a worried expression, seeming to have something on her mind.

”Mu Jin.”

”Grand General.”

Bai Jin and Yang Yu almost spoke at the same time, then Bai Jin immediately blushed and lowered her head,

”Sorry... Grand General, you wanted to see me about something?”

Yang Yu walked over to Bai Jin. ”Stretch your hand out.”

As instructed by Yang Yu, Bai Jin slowly raised her palm.

Yang Yu placed one hand on the back of Bai Jin’s hand, and with the other hand, he drew a circle in the palm of her hand.

Then, Yang Yu slowly pushed Bai Jin’s hand, making her clench it.

”Now is not the time.”

Bai Jin knew what Yang Yu was referring to, what she wanted to say was also along the lines of what Yang Yu wanted to say.

It was nowhere near the time to destroy ”Abyss Gate” she held in her hand, even if the opportunity to destroy it was right in front of her, she had to endure.

Bai Jin courageously placed her hand on Yang Yu’s hand.

”I know, now is not the time.

And...”

Bai Jin halted, clenched her fist, and averted her gaze from Yang Yu, not daring to see his current expression, and said tremulously,

”In the future, once our strength is sufficient, we must come to Qinghe Volcano together again.”

”You’re right,” Yang Yu, who had been stern, now smiled,

”As it happens, it’s been a long while since we, just our squad, were together alone like this.

Next, I will arrange various tasks for you.

I will really put you to work, all in hopes of us becoming stronger.

”

Saying so, Yang Yu also patted Iyas on the shoulder, ”You’re the weakest, give it more effort, and don’t fall behind on your archery, lest you hold us back.”

Iyas’s face turned red instantly, yet she didn’t know how to retort.

Lotcar couldn’t help but laugh, and others also laughed along.

”Grand General, where are we going this time?”

Yang Yu took out the Underground Maze distribution map he had drawn based on information from the All Things Library.

The sudden appearance of new mazes, or mazes being conquered, were common.

Yang Yu wasn’t sure how much use his map still held.

In any case, the first step was to find a few underground mazes with living people to update the intelligence.

”Hey, Yellow Flower. Where do you think there are people?”

”Grand General, I’ve already said, relying on illusory luck won’t work,”

Iyas sighed deeply, her fingers coiling the tips of her golden ponytail,

”But, since it’s the Grand General’s order, there’s nothing to be done.”
