Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1987 - 1988: The Final Battle
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
In this world, there’s never such a thing as absolute loyalty.
If there is, it just means the temptation isn’t strong enough.
For Gru, is the temptation not enough?
The old Clan Leader of the Vampire clan perished, Edward ascended, and the entire clan has been in a state of turmoil, chaotic situation.
As they say, heroes emerge in troubled times!
The more chaotic it is, the more changes there will be.
As Edward’s definitive second-in-command, if Edward falls in battle, who else but Gru could take on the role of the next Clan Leader?
Enjoying the lofty comfort of the throne, Gru chuckled slyly, "Edward, thank you, I will miss you."
...
Since arriving at Volos, it’s already been a full five days.
In these five days, Ye Xuan successively captured three major docks of the Balkan Peninsula, and immediately went to the fourth dock, but didn’t set foot on it and just turned away and left.
That departure lasted a full day and night, without any reappearance.
At this moment, the sun blazed down.
Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao were on a small isolated island, sitting around a campfire, with a few large fish from the sea roasting over the fire, filling the air with a rich aroma.
"Delicious, so delicious!" Lou Yaoyao exclaimed in amazement while holding a skewer of already roasted saury, "You’re amazing, little brother. Unmatched in martial arts, unparalleled in medicine, and even your impromptu cooking skills in the wild are so good, there’s truly no more perfect man than you in the world!"
Ye Xuan smirked and said, "You can eat, but don’t flatter."
"Hateful, do you dislike listening to me that much?" Lou Yaoyao rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan and continued, "Then I won’t flatter you anymore, let’s talk about business."
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Lou Yaoyao said, "Little brother, why did we suddenly turn back after reaching Black Wind Port, about to battle? Isn’t this too provocative?"
"So what?" Ye Xuan smiled lightly.
"So what?" Lou Yaoyao looked puzzled, "Of course it matters, if Edward isn’t a fool, he’ll surely increase Black Wind Port’s military strength significantly. Though I still believe in you, this is only the fourth dock. If you expend too much energy here, what about the remaining docks?"
"We don’t need to go to the remaining docks," Ye Xuan said, "The battle at Black Wind Port will be my final battle of this journey."
"Final battle?" Lou Yaoyao was stunned, "Why the final battle?"
"After this battle, everything will be settled," Ye Xuan said coolly, "If I win, Lisa comes with me; if I lose, everything fails, I die here."
"Is Lisa at Black Wind Port?" Lou Yaoyao looked puzzled, "Little brother, why are you so sure? What if she’s not there?"
"Perhaps she isn’t there now, but before dawn tomorrow, she will definitely appear at Black Wind Port."
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, as if everything was under control.
Lou Yaoyao was in utter confusion, feeling dizzy with Ye Xuan’s twisting words.
Ye Xuan glanced at her and smiled, "As you said, our ship was near Black Wind Port but suddenly turned away, obviously provoking. Edward will surely increase Black Wind Port’s troop size greatly, because he knows, the next target is Black Wind Port."
Lou Yaoyao tilted her head, pondering for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Your intentions are clear, Edward knows, so Lisa hiding in the shadows will also surely know?"
"She not only knows, but she will also rush to Black Wind Port," Ye Xuan said, "The Balkan Peninsula is ultimately Vampire territory, and I’m alone. Going blindly all the way is foolish and too dangerous. Instead of endlessly exhausting myself, it’s better to fight a decisive battle directly."
Among countless strategies, only this one is most beneficial to Ye Xuan.
He is a human, not a god.
Having consecutively seized three major docks, it’s unrealistic to say Ye Xuan hasn’t been worn down at all.
Moreover, from the reinforcements seen at Qingfeng Port, it’s clear Edward has resolved to kill him. Even if Ye Xuan continued to be invincible, with each dock he attacked, the next would be even more heavily fortified.
Such attrition is indeed dangerous.
So, Ye Xuan directly sent such a signal to the Vampire clan, akin to a signal for a decisive battle.
Once this signal is sent, Black Wind Port’s forces will naturally become the strongest among the remaining docks, and Lisa hiding in the shadows will be attracted by Ye Xuan’s signal and secretly come to Black Wind Port.
Numerical superiority is the Vampire clan’s advantage, and Ye Xuan can’t engage them in constant battles, magnifying their advantage to the extreme.
A single battle to decide victory or defeat is almost Ye Xuan’s only option to rescue Lisa!
"I understand."
Lou Yaoyao finally realized, nodding and murmuring, "You want to end it all at once with a hammer blow, and the previous three battles were just paving the way for this one. After those three battles, both Lisa and Edward understand your pace and style on this journey, so when you provoke at Black Wind Port, they definitely understand."
It’s clear that Ye Xuan has unwittingly turned what should have been a complex and chaotic war into something simple and direct.
At the very least, he doesn’t need to fish for Lisa in the vast Balkan Peninsula like a needle in a haystack, but can simply achieve his goal with strength.
Lou Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel amazed.
Only now did she realize that even from the very beginning, even before finding the Balkan Peninsula, Ye Xuan already had a complete battle plan in mind, orderly and methodical.
Everything that happened in these few days was almost all under his control, while everyone involved in these events was being led by the nose.
What kind of mental prowess is this?
What kind of strategy is this?
"Incredible..."
Even Lou Yaoyao, who has always been competitive, at this moment cannot help but genuinely admire Ye Xuan. Such a peerless genius is almost dream-like and surreal if not witnessed firsthand!
After a while, Lou Yaoyao snapped out of her shock, looking at Ye Xuan and questioning, "This plan sounds perfect, but what if Lisa doesn’t understand your signal? Or if something happens to her on the way to Black Wind Port and she can’t make it in time? Even if you win the battle, it would be in vain!"
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, "The ’what if’ you mentioned won’t happen because I’ve given them ample time, and Lisa as well."
Lou Yaoyao pouted, "Didn’t you say there are possibilities for ’what ifs’ on the battlefield?"
"Alright." Ye Xuan squinted, looking up at the glaring sun, the corners of his mouth curving into a mad smile, "If that ’what if’ really happens, then just... keep killing."
