This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

As dawn was just breaking, He Yu set off for the Red Camp's main city.

When they had rushed from the Red Camp to Lilu City before, Bo Jingshan had deliberately slowed down to match the army's pace.

Now, however, only He Yu, Wanrenzhan, and Bo Jingshan were making the return trip. With no one holding them back, the Wind Fire Wheels could travel at full speed, allowing them to make the round trip within a single day.

As they departed Lilu City, Black Bear happened to be leading his own forces out as well, preparing to seize South City. Although it was the closest city to Lilu City, the journey still wasn't short.

Night was the best time to capture a city, and their operation was also scheduled for nighttime.

Li Mao escorted them outside, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

"General, I will definitely capture South City." Black Bear's expression was solemn and earnest.

He Yu nodded. He seemed slightly hesitant, opening his mouth before pausing.

"General, do you have any orders?" Black Bear asked.

Li Mao also looked toward him in confusion.

After thinking for a moment, He Yu finally lowered his voice.

"Keep a close watch on Gao Jianming. That man isn't trustworthy. Stay on guard against him at all times, and notify me immediately if anything happens."

As he spoke, he deliberately cast a wary glance toward Gao Jianming in the distance.

At that very moment, Gao Jianming was staring fixedly back at him.

Black bean eyes met leopard eyes.

One pair was cold.

The other burned with rage.

Especially when He Yu looked over, Gao Jianming's eyes practically seemed to spit fire.

He Yu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked away.

Black Bear nodded seriously.

"General, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him."

He Yu stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheels.

The wheels ignited like blazing flames, tearing across the sky at an astonishing speed before carrying He Yu completely out of everyone's sight.

Lilu City and South City were soon left far behind.

Black Bear and Li Mao watched until his figure completely disappeared before finally looking away.

Li Mao's expression grew serious.

"Remember what the General told us. He's gone today, so nothing can go wrong. Be careful."

Black Bear nodded again and patted his chest.

"Don't worry."

Then his gaze swept across Gao Jianming without lingering.

Raising his hand, he shouted,

"Move out!"

Not far away, the leopard flexed its claws.

Gao Jianming lowered his head, hiding the resentment burning within the leopard's eyes. Without saying a word, he quietly followed the main force.

The backpack strapped to his back shifted slightly as Qu Wu's voice echoed through the team channel.

"Why are they all watching you?"

Gao Jianming's expression darkened. Grinding his teeth, he replied,

"They want to kill me. He Yu... just as I thought, he has no intention of letting me live. If I stay in the Red Camp any longer, I won't survive."

Those stupid primitive animals in the Red Camp...

They didn't doubt He Yu at all.

Whatever He Yu said, they believed.

They were unbelievably stupid and stubborn.

"How do you know He Yu wants to kill you? Your ability is useful. They still need you, so they won't kill you for now," Qu Wu offered his opinion.

As Gao Jianming continued walking, he answered viciously,

"He'll definitely kill me. Right now he's the Red Camp's General, while I'm nothing more than a toy that defected to the Red Camp. This is the perfect opportunity. He'll never let me go."

He was absolutely convinced He Yu intended to kill him.

And he wouldn't be given much time.

To Gao Jianming, he had already reached a dead end.

Whether sooner or later...

He was going to die either way.

Qu Wu didn't really understand He Yu, so he merely nodded.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Gao Jianming's face twisted with indecision.

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Run. I'm going to escape first and leave the Red Camp."

Yesterday, even after learning that He Yu had become the Red Camp's General, he hadn't planned to leave.

After all, they both came from the same origin.

If He Yu could remain in the Red Camp, why couldn't he?

But later, he had changed his mind.

Black Bear and Li Mao watched him too closely.

It was obvious they trusted He Yu while remaining wary of him.

Wouldn't that mean if He Yu attacked, they wouldn't stop him?

Today they were even taking him along to capture a city.

Hah.

Were they worried he'd betray them?

Did they want to squeeze every last bit of value out of him as quickly as possible?

And just now, He Yu had secretly whispered something to Li Mao and Black Bear.

Afterward, he'd even looked directly at him.

Clearly...

They were preparing to make their move.

Gao Jianming was now completely convinced the Red Camp intended to kill him.

It was obvious they had already begun "plotting."

He absolutely could not remain in the Red Camp any longer.

—I have to escape.

No matter what.

Suddenly Gao Jianming turned toward Qu Wu.

"I'm warning you. If you even think about betraying me, I'll tear you apart immediately. Our lives are tied together now. Even if I die, I won't let you off."

Qu Wu fell silent.

After a long sigh, he said,

"Looking at my current state... what kind of ulterior motives do you think I could possibly have?"

If He Yu killed Gao Jianming, he'd certainly kill him too.

Qu Wu felt utterly wronged.

He was a Federation powerhouse.

How could someone like him ever willingly serve Gao Jianming?

Yet somehow he'd been transformed into a useless backpack that Gao Jianming carried everywhere.

If Gao Jianming wanted to kill him, all it would take was one swipe of those claws.

He really was pitiful.

Qu Wu stopped thinking about it, afraid he might cough up blood from frustration.

Taking a deep breath, he asked,

"When are you planning to escape?"

"During the siege."

The answer wasn't surprising at all.

Before the attack, Black Bear's men watched him too closely.

Once the battle began, however, the backpack would be carrying Black Bear and the others.

After bringing everyone inside...

While Black Bear's forces were occupied capturing the city...

He would escape.

Qu Wu understood and said nothing more, quietly resigning himself to being a backpack.

Gao Jianming's eyes gleamed with calculation.

The leopard's agile body bounded forward as he followed the main army toward South City.

—

The Wind Fire Wheels flew at full speed.

Three hours later, He Yu returned to the main city.

The Elders personally came to receive him.

The moment they met him, bright smiles spread across their faces.

"General, splendid work! Capturing Lilu City so smoothly is entirely thanks to you."

He Yu smiled faintly.

"It was Li Mao's and Black Bear's achievement."

His smile only slightly lifted the corners of his lips.

Meanwhile, the corner of his eye quietly surveyed the surroundings.

Perhaps because Lilu City had been successfully reclaimed, everyone's spirits throughout the main city were exceptionally high.

A squad stood near the entrance receiving instructions, though many of them secretly stole glances at He Yu.

To the ordinary people of the Red Camp...

General Kunhui was gone.

But General He Yu was just as remarkable.

He had reclaimed Lilu City immediately after taking office.

He Yu knew these were the people he would soon be taking away.

One Elder spoke excitedly,

"They've already reported everything. It was the General's decisive decision to infiltrate °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° the Green Camp and even deliver Gao Jianming into our hands. It was absolutely the right choice! Had the General not acted like this, the Green Camp would probably have reached our main city already."

He Yu merely smiled without denying it.

The Elder continued,

"The King is making the flag, so we came to receive you instead. His Majesty has been talking about you constantly."

The Elder smiled kindly.

When He Yu had first explained his identity, these people had all remained skeptical.

Even now they probably hadn't fully believed him.

But it was much better than before.

He Yu nodded, putting on an equally excited expression.

"I've also been looking forward to seeing the King. Let's go inside."

Led by the Elders, the group entered the castle.

He Yu remained standing on the Wind Fire Wheels the entire time.

The short sword stayed tucked behind his tiny cape.

Bo Jingshan and Wanrenzhan both consciously continued pretending to be dead, treating themselves entirely as a "vehicle" and a "weapon," remaining silent throughout.

Inside the castle...

The King was busy making the flag.

They waited quite a while before finally seeing him hurry out holding it.

It was a crimson flag.

Its shape was identical to the green flag, differing only in color.

Upon closer inspection, even the faint flowing light within it was different.

"General!"

The King's youthful voice was filled with excitement.

He Yu also appeared "excited."

His face flushed as he raised his voice.

"Your Majesty, I have not failed you. We reclaimed Lilu City, and now Black Bear is preparing to retake South City."

"Excellent!"

The youthful King's face overflowed with smiles.

The Elders were smiling as well.

Only one Elder frowned slightly.

"Lilu City hasn't even had the flag planted yet. Why rush to attack South City already?"

His suspicion was perfectly reasonable.

Even if they hadn't questioned it, He Yu would have explained anyway, making sure to distance himself from any responsibility in advance.

So he immediately recounted everything.

Naturally, emphasizing—

Li Mao proposed...

Black Bear believed...

He himself was worried...

Those three points formed the core of his explanation.

Then he elaborated on Gao Jianming's duplicity and arrogance.

The King and the Elders quickly understood why Li Mao and Black Bear had chosen this course of action.

He Yu sighed.

"Although I'm worried too, I couldn't think of any better solution."

The Elders exchanged glances but had nothing further to say.

The King, however, remained calm.

His youthful face became serious.

"They're the generals responsible for taking cities. Since we don't know the situation there, we shouldn't interfere with their decisions. Li Mao is meticulous, and Black Bear may seem rough, but he's careful when it counts. Nothing should happen."

After a pause, he added,

"Surely Gao Jianming can't defect to us yesterday, betray us today, and immediately be accepted back by the Green Camp."

As long as there was even a small time difference...

Both Lilu City and South City would belong to the Red Camp.

He Yu nodded.

"Exactly."

As long as everything had been "explained" clearly, the remaining matters no longer concerned him.

His gaze settled upon the flag.

This was the real reason he'd returned.

And the thing he was most curious about.

Noticing He Yu looking at it, the King immediately handed him the flag.

His youthful voice was gentle.

"General, I'll entrust this flag to you. It takes three days to create a flag. This one was already more than halfway finished beforehand, so it only took one day to complete. The next one will require three full days. We'll have to wait until then before sending another."

He Yu nodded.

His voice softened, carrying an almost hypnotic quality.

"Then, whenever Your Majesty has time, make as many flags as possible. One day, our Red Camp will achieve victory and plant our banners across every city."

The Elders instantly became excited.

Their eyes shone brightly as they stared at the flag.

The King's eyes were equally passionate.

Yet hidden within that passion...

...was a trace of worry.

He Yu noticed every bit of it.

His eyes narrowed slightly, though he said nothing.

At that moment, one Elder stepped forward with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I'd also like to go to Lilu City and assist the General in capturing more cities. General He Yu has to manage Red Camp affairs while gathering intelligence inside the Green Camp. He's carrying far too much."

Not everyone trusted He Yu completely.

The one speaking was the Fifth Elder, who had always been particularly suspicious of He Yu's identity.

Though he never voiced it outright, He Yu could clearly feel the distrust in his gaze.

Unable to fully trust He Yu...

Yet equally unable to identify what exactly was wrong with him...

The man's attitude constantly wavered.

He Yu didn't care.

Instead, he nodded immediately.

"Wonderful. The Fifth Elder's assistance would be invaluable."

The Fifth Elder's eyes flashed with suspicion.

—He agreed that easily?

—Could this He Yu really be General Kunhui after all?

Since the Fifth Elder wished to go, and He Yu agreed, the King naturally had no reason to object.

Thus it was decided.

When He Yu returned, the Fifth Elder would accompany him, remaining in Lilu City to "assist" him.

"General, get some rest first. I'll continue making the flags. Tonight we'll dine together."

After handing the flag to He Yu, the King prepared to leave.

Suddenly, He Yu spoke.

His expression showed hesitation.

"Your Majesty... there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately..."

Privately?

The Fifth Elder immediately looked toward He Yu, narrowing his eyes with obvious caution.

He Yu ignored him entirely.

He merely looked at the youthful King with complete seriousness.

The King didn't refuse.

He nodded and instructed everyone else to leave.

The Fifth Elder hesitated briefly.

But considering that He Yu was merely a toy with virtually no combat power, while they themselves would be guarding the entrance...

He eventually left as well.

Soon only the two of them remained.

The King spoke first.

"General, what else is it?"

The enormous hall was completely empty.

The King stood atop the dais.

Though small in stature, standing on the steps gave him an imposing presence.

He Yu, though merely a white dumpling, floated in midair upon the Wind Fire Wheels.

His cape concealed his round body.

Though his physique lacked presence...

His eyes certainly did not.

He Yu nodded.

His expression became grave.

"I don't know whether Li Mao reported my contact with the Black Camp. Your Majesty, I learned something from them... something I believe I need to report to you personally."

The King replied,

"Li Mao already informed me..."

He Yu shook his head.

"No. That wasn't everything. What I want to tell you is what I didn't tell Li Mao. That's the real reason I personally came back to retrieve the flag."

The King's brows instantly knitted together.

His expression became solemn.

"General... what exactly is it?"

He Yu took a deep breath before slowly exhaling.

Only then did he say,

"An old pine tree from the Black Camp told me that the Red Camp's inheritance is weakening. Your Majesty... not the kind of weakening caused by losing cities or having flags destroyed. A different kind."

"A weakening that means... it can no longer sustain itself."

Wanrenzhan: "..."

This was his first time following He Yu from beginning to end...

Watching him frame someone else.

It was so damn exciting.

[Bullet Screen: "HAHAHAHA, he's dumping everything onto the Black Camp again. They're seriously miserable."]

[Bullet Screen: "The old pine tree would like to ask if you know what manners are."]

[Bullet Screen: "The old pine tree does NOT want this blame."]

The King's entire body trembled.

His fists clenched instantly.

His whole body tensed as his eyes locked onto He Yu.

He wasn't angry.

He was nervous.

Nervous?

He Yu blinked.

Now that...

...was interesting.

The King's voice had turned hoarse.

"What else? What exactly did he say?"

No denial.

Meaning...

Confirmation.

He Yu's guess had been correct.

The Red Camp's inheritance really was weakening.

Not merely because creating flags consumed its power...

It was naturally weakening.

Its energy was leaking away regardless.

Wanrenzhan exclaimed in the team channel,

"How did you know?!"

He Yu answered calmly,

"Because I had three clues. I decided to test him... and the answer came out."

Wanrenzhan: "..."

He Yu had only reached this conclusion after watching the King emerge carrying the flag.

If inheritance were imagined as a mass of energy...

Creating a flag meant separating part of that energy.

When the flag was destroyed...

That energy vanished.

That explained why flags were so precious.

But no matter how valuable they were...

They still couldn't be more valuable than inheritance itself or entire cities.

Otherwise...

Why would both camps immediately plant a flag the moment they captured a city?

That behavior clearly demonstrated one thing.

Flags mattered.

Territory mattered even more.

So during the decisive confrontation between Red and Green...

Why wouldn't the Red Camp prepare even one spare flag?

If the King could create them quickly, that would be understandable.

But he required three entire days for a single flag.

Was the King stupid?

No.

The Red King's intelligence was obvious.

Given the situation...

Yet there wasn't a single spare flag.

Even more importantly...

The King had just said this flag had been started earlier.

If he'd already begun making it...

Why had he stopped halfway instead of finishing?

The more He Yu thought about it...

The stranger it became.

Then he had tested him.

When He Yu suggested producing more flags, everyone else had become excited.

Only the King had looked worried.

He Yu concluded that something had gone wrong with the Red Camp's inheritance.

The King had become extremely reluctant to consume its power to make flags.

Unless absolutely necessary...

He refused to prepare extras.

The inheritance's condition...

...was worse than He Yu had initially imagined.

So he'd tested him.

And, as expected...

The King's reaction confirmed everything.

Lowering his eyes slightly to conceal the smile hidden within them, He Yu continued in a solemn voice,

"He also said the Red Camp's flags are weakening. Sooner or later, the Red Camp will destroy itself. The Green Camp will last a little longer..."

"...but its ending will be exactly the same."

"Nonsense!"

The King flew into a rage.

His body trembled with fury.

Yet beneath the anger...

...there was unmistakable panic.

No wonder the Red and Green Camps were fighting so desperately.

Death really was chasing them from behind.

He Yu understood.

Then he continued probing.

"The old pine tree also claimed the Black Camp still has a trump card. Something connected to its inheritance. He said the Black Camp's inheritance is actually the strongest..."

Those final words were deliberately provocative.

The King exploded with fury.

Pacing back and forth, he cursed loudly,

"That old fool dares slander the Red Camp! Kill him! Kill him immediately!"

He Yu shook his head.

"Only the old pine tree knows the Black Camp's secrets. If he's killed, some secrets will disappear forever. If we want to eliminate the Black Camp, we have to find their inheritance and strike there."

The furious King suddenly stopped.

His eyes narrowed as he instinctively blurted out,

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Black Camp's inheritance died long ago!"

Dead?

The inheritance...

...was alive?

There it was again.

Another critical piece of information.

Wanrenzhan was equally shocked.

"The inheritance is actually alive?!"

Far away in Lilu City, Eugene nearly jumped to his feet.

"Alive?! Holy shit! That's huge!"

Ignoring them, the corners of He Yu's lips lifted almost imperceptibly before immediately returning to normal.

Keeping a serious expression, he said,

"The old pine tree insisted their inheritance is their greatest trump card. If it's gone, how could it still be a trump card?"

In other words...

He Yu was intentionally conveying the impression that...

He believed the Black Camp's inheritance still existed.

"Impossible!"

The King immediately denied it.

He shook his head with absolute certainty.

"The Black Camp's inheritance is gone. We can all sense it. If it were still alive, the Black Camp could never have become this weak. Every generation has grown weaker than the last."

"Why?" He Yu stepped forward.

His eyes were full of curiosity.

"Your Majesty... what exactly is inheritance? Why would the old pine tree say such things?"

[Bullet Screen: "The old pine tree would also like to know."]

[Bullet Screen: "Why did YOU say that? Ask yourself!!"]

[Bullet Screen: "Good thing the old pine tree doesn't know, or he'd cough up blood from anger."]

The King shook his head.

"The inheritance can only be seen by the King. Every generation of Kings has sworn to uphold that promise."

After a brief pause, he continued,

"But I can tell you where it came from. The inheritances of the three camps were originally one whole. The Black Camp possessed the largest and strongest inheritance. Ours is merely a portion divided from theirs. Most of it remained with the Black Camp."

During the earliest days after the collapse of species...

The original humans had been the strongest.

Naturally, the Black Camp had possessed the greatest influence and the greatest inheritance.

From the perspective of inheritance...

The Black Camp had once been the strongest.

Yet now...

It was the weakest.

What exactly had happened?

Neither the Red nor Green Kings appeared to know.

He Yu stepped forward again.

His eyes remained fixed on the King.

"Then why do you say the Black Camp's inheritance is dead? Didn't you just say theirs was the strongest?"

There was subtle pressure in his gaze.

Curiosity.

Earnestness.

It made people instinctively want to answer him.

To explain everything.

Under that pressure, there was scarcely time to think.

"After we became stronger, the Black Camp continued growing weaker. Every generation declined further. The combat power of newly born Black Camp toys became lower and lower, until eventually..."

"...their inheritance died."

The King sank into memory.

"The records left by previous Kings say that we cooperated with the Green Camp. After the Black Camp's King died, we launched an assault and completely destroyed the Black Camp's inheritance."

"From then on..."

"...the toys were no longer anything to fear."

Hearing this, He Yu frowned.

"Your Majesty, how did the previous Kings know the Black Camp's inheritance had died?"

Only Kings knew about inheritances.

They never allowed others to see them.

So how could another camp know?

"The feeling."

The King gave the answer.

"Each of us possesses a fragment of the inheritance, so we can vaguely sense the others. Two hundred years ago..."

"...the Black Camp's inheritance disappeared."

These were all historical records.

The King couldn't guarantee every detail.

But the overall picture had to be correct.

Having said this much, he visibly relaxed.

Looking at He Yu, he shook his head.

"General, you simply don't understand inheritance. That old pine tree must have deceived you. They don't even possess an inheritance anymore. How could it possibly be their trump card?"

"And haven't you noticed?"

"The new toys appearing in the Black Camp are all tools, decorations, and all sorts of strange useless objects."

"They've become weaker and weaker."

Once upon a time...

The Black Camp had produced countless powerful toys.

A swift leopard like Gao Jianming had once been considered ordinary.

But now...

Many toys had become nothing more than useless ornaments.

Their decline...

Explained everything.

He Yu narrowed his eyes.

A strange expression briefly crossed his face before disappearing.

Frowning, he looked genuinely annoyed.

"So the old pine tree was lying to me?"

The King nodded firmly.

His gaze softened reassuringly.

"He probably wanted you to devote yourself completely to the Black Camp, so he deceived you by claiming their inheritance still exists."

"In reality..."

"...their inheritance died long ago."

He Yu sighed.

"What a despicable old thing."

At that very moment—

Lilu City.

Underground.

Several young toys came running back from outside, shouting excitedly,

"My goodness! Lord He Yu was telling the truth! We're safe in Lilu City!"

"We just went outside, and nobody attacked us!"

"I even ran into someone from the Red Camp! They didn't attack me!"

"Exactly! Someone else wanted to attack us, but another Red Camp member stopped them. Lord He Yu really did it! This is wonderful! We can finally go outside again!"

...

The underground hideout erupted with joy.

Eugene spoke quietly,

"He Yu always keeps his promises."

"Unfortunately..."

"...certain people refused to believe him."

Instantly, everyone turned toward the old pine tree with condemning looks.

The old pine tree: "..."

One toy sighed and gently tugged one of the old pine tree's branches.

"Grandpa Pine Tree, don't be so stubborn. Lord He Yu is truly a good person. He always keeps his word, and he's so capable. Why won't you tell him the secret?"

Another toy nodded vigorously.

"That's right, Grandpa Pine Tree. Tell Lord He Yu the secret."

The old pine tree wore an utterly conflicted expression.

[Bullet Screen: "..."]

[Bullet Screen: "Grandpa Pine Tree is truly miserable. He never said a single thing, yet He Yu dumped the biggest blame imaginable onto him."]

[Bullet Screen: "Inside, he never said anything but gets criticized by the toys. Outside, He Yu pins everything on him and calls him a despicable old thing... damn, that's just tragic."]
