Chapter 542: Squirrel: He is indeed stronger than me!
Chapter 542: Squirrel: He is indeed stronger than me!
Squirrel was still in a daze from Night City's recent roar.
On the other side, Princess Lana had already begun introducing Night City and his companions to the adventurers present, who were looking on with confusion.
"They are our helpers for this mission, workers from the Bahar Empire."
The workers who had accepted this commission were not limited to the Four Councillors and Night City's team; there were also many other workers present.
After all, to resist the demon army, two small worker teams alone couldn't change the overall situation. Therefore, besides Night City's team, the Empire had sent several renowned worker teams.
Upon hearing Princess Lana's mention of these Empire workers as their reinforcements, the adventurers from the Kingdom couldn't help but express their disappointment.
Adventurers generally looked down upon workers, as these individuals were not only profit-driven but also lacked integrity.
Fighting alongside such people meant constantly worrying about the possibility of being backstabbed.
Moreover, the strength of workers varied greatly. The Empire's famous worker teams were, at best, on par with their "Mountain Copper Rank" adventurers. How could such teams influence the overall situation?
What they needed now was not more cannon fodder but powerful generals who could rival high-level demons.
According to Crimson Rose's intelligence, the demon Adabao had several extremely powerful subordinates besides himself.
One of these subordinates was strong enough to defeat their warrior Gran and assassin Tia.
To counter such a powerful demon, only a hero-level expert would suffice.
On the demon's side, there was not only Adabao but also four other formidable subordinates.
On their side, they had Black Momo, her teammate Miss Xi Zi, the leader of Crimson Rose, Miss La Jus, Miss Yibiluai, and the Kingdom Warrior Commander—five heroes who had transcended the hero realm.
In previous battles, Black Momo had fought against the strongest demon, Adabao, while the others took on his subordinates.
They engaged in a five-on-five battle, while the rest of the team dealt with the lower-level demons.
Everyone present was well aware that killing lower-level demons was meaningless, as these were merely consumables to Adabao, who could summon demons at will.
To secure victory, the primary goal was to defeat Adabao, the leader of the demons.
However, the problem was that Adabao was too powerful. Even their strongest, Black Momo, could only match him.
More powerful demon armies were gathering, and if they didn't defeat Adabao quickly, once the demon army was fully assembled and launched a large-scale attack, defeat was certain for their side.
What they lacked was a decisive force, at least one that could join Black Momo in defeating Adabao.
Otherwise, what good would it do to have numerous reinforcements of average strength? Could they possibly match the endless waves of demons on the other side?
"I understand the current situation, and that's why I specifically invited these two.
I'm sure Mr. Momo is also familiar with the identities of these two.
However, since most of you here might not know them, allow me to introduce them formally."
As if in response to the Golden Princess's introduction, Night City and Miss Nabe were gently pushed forward by the Four Councillors, smiling, to stand before the crowd.
And before the dark-haired, dark-eyed, and exceptionally young Eastern Duo, the Golden Princess continued, "These two are the Empire's renowned workers, the Eastern Duo, who have recently gained fame throughout the Empire.
Mr. Yecheng, as a warrior, not only possesses the strength to defeat numerous powerful monsters on his own, but he is also a powerful Hero Realm expert.
And his wife, Miss Nabeh, known as the 'Beauty Consort,' is a formidable Spell Singer capable of wielding Fifth Rank Magic."
Upon hearing the Golden Princess's introduction, everyone present was astonished. If this were true, then both members of the Eastern Duo had reached the Hero Realm!
With two more powerful experts on their side, defeating the Devil Adabao seemed like a real possibility.
"An Empire worker who has reached the Hero Realm? Are you sure you're not mistaken, Golden Princess? These two kids look so young."
Adventurers generally didn't hold workers in high regard, and since Mr. Yecheng and Miss Nabeh indeed appeared quite young, many in the room voiced their doubts.
Regarding Spell Singers, it wasn't entirely implausible for someone with exceptional magical talent to master Fifth Rank Magic at this age.
However, warriors were different. Even with exceptional talent, one had to tirelessly refine their martial arts through rigorous training.
The Kingdom's Marshal, Geoff, renowned as the Kingdom's strongest and most talented warrior, likely hadn't entered the Hero Realm at an age as young as Mr. Yecheng.
"Damn it! We've come all this way to help you, and you guys look down on us!"
"Exactly! Mr. Yecheng is no weaker than your Mo Mo. Don't think that the Empire's workers lack powerful individuals."
Mr. Yecheng didn't seem bothered by the slight, but Sir Herklon and Alshe immediately took offense.
Having explored the 'Thirteen Heroes' ruins together, they had witnessed the strength of the adventurer Mo Mo and knew how formidable he was. Yet, Mr. Yecheng was no pushover either.
These Kingdom adventurers regarded Mo Mo as their trump card, but when Mr. Yecheng, a worker, was questioned, it was clear they were displaying blatant occupational discrimination!
"As strong as Mo Mo? That's impossible. You know..."
Aisha's claim that Mr. Yecheng was as powerful as her idol, Mo Mo, made Eiburaei, who had been saved by Mo Mo in the past, squirm in her seat.
As a member of the Crimson Rose, she also held another identity—a two-hundred-year-old vampire known as 'The Nation Destroyer.'
Her actual level was likely over 50, far beyond the capabilities of an average Hero Realm expert.
Aisha's assertion that this young man named Yecheng was a Hero Realm warrior was somewhat believable, but comparing him to her idol, Mo Mo, was something Eiburaei couldn't accept.
Mo Mo's strength far surpassed her own, and this young human couldn't possibly...
However, just as Eiburaei passionately defended her idol, Mo Mo, dressed in black full-body armor, stepped forward and said, "She's right. Mr. Yecheng's strength is no weaker than mine and might even surpass it.
I can vouch for his undeniable power, having explored ruins together. And as my friend, I hope you won't judge him based on his worker status."
