“Damn it!” Alex and Camilla’s faces changed dramatically.
If Xi Fan were summoned, not only would Tina fail to escape, but everyone else present would undoubtedly be implicated. By then, their Scholar’s Temple would suffer heavy casualties.
So, they quickly cast spells, trying to interrupt the summoning ritual.
[Skill Counter], [Magic Dissolution], [Disturbing Curse], [Magic Item Neutralization]
Spells flew towards the scroll like bullets fired from a machine gun.
But it was futile.
The gap between them and Xi Fan was too great. None of these spells worked, all were repelled, only slightly delaying the time it took for Xi Fan to be summoned.
“Run! All of you, run!” Camilla turned her head and shouted at the people behind her.
The situation was now completely out of control, leaving everyone to fend for themselves.
But Tina did not choose to run.
She took out the platinum ring that the Guardian had entrusted to her, seriously put it on her right index finger: “Lord Claude, since you wish to summon Xi Fan, I have no choice but to summon Kevin Forsythia’s avatar. Kevin Forsythia, defeat the evil Xi Fan!”
Tina held up her right hand high, the ring on her index finger burst out a magnificent light! The white gem on the ring emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the dark sky like a small sun, making it impossible to look at directly.
Of course, Tina was just putting on a show.
This ring could only teleport her to a safe location, it couldn’t actually summon the avatar of the Guardian.
But Xi Fan and Lord Claude didn’t know that! They thought Tina was telling the truth.
As Tina’s ring lighted up, the process of Xi Fan’s physical condensation suddenly came to a halt.
Then, Xi Fan’s body shattered like a shattered mirror, turning into black particles and disappearing into the air.
“Urgh!” Lord Claude took the backlash, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, and was knocked back several meters.
Claude now wanted to swear at someone.
Because Xi Fan had chickened out halfway through the summoning!
It seemed that Xi Fan didn’t dare face the avatar of the Guardian directly, so he forcefully terminated the summoning before it was completed, disappeared into light particles.
Not only that, Xi Fan transferred all the backlash from the spell to Claude, making Claude take a heavy hit, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.
Claude was feeling very cold inside. He had taken the opportunity to join Xi Fan’s camp some time ago, but now he was unexpectedly betrayed by Xi Fan.
“Fine, fine, fine, wait and see!” Claude wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and made a fierce threat. Then he flew back towards Orleans City without looking back.
The nine Tier-5 warriors who followed him saw their boss fleeing and of course, they wouldn’t want to stay any longer. In an instant, they cleaned the field, escaping.
The people at the Scholar’s Temple watched them go without pursuing them.
Tina let out a sigh of relief, lowering her right hand, and withdrawing the ring, which she had not yet activated.
The 3,000 elite city guards below were even more at a loss. They stopped their offensive and began to retreat slowly while maintaining their formation.
A battle that was supposed to be earth-shattering fizzled out.
Game Announcement: “The Orleans City Elite City Defense Forces have left the battlefield. The city defense battle was a total success!”
Game Announcement: “Due to the high difficulty of this city defense battle, all players within Aphi City are rewarded with x10000 Experience Points and 1 [Rare Quality Equipment Box (3 items)].”
When they saw the game announcement, the entire Aphi region erupted in cheers:
“Yeah, we won!”
“Finally, we finally won!”
The players of Swift and “Yellow Turban Army” guild were especially teary-eyed at this moment.
Ten days! After ten days of tireless efforts and hard struggle, they finally achieved their goal and built the first player city!
Throughout the process, everyone had put in a lot of heart and sweat. Now, they had finally succeeded!
Su Yu was also overwhelmed with excitement now.
The first player city in his previous life appeared about nine months after the start of the major upheaval.
But now, he had built the first player city in only 21 days, more than eight months faster than in his previous life!
“I hope these eight months can bring miracles to humanity!” Su Yu prayed silently in his heart.
.
After the city’s defense battle, what was left were some routine tasks like arresting prisoners and cleaning the battlefield etc.
The troops of Moonlight Town and Count Philip were first arrested to see if they could be ransomed. If no ransom could be obtained, they would be demoted to slaves and sent to the mines.
The great magicians of the Scholar’s Temple didn’t linger either; they were eager to go back to their books. So, Su Yu and Tina escorted them to the teleportation circle.
“Goodbye everyone! I hope we can meet again soon in Aphi City.” Su Yu waved goodbye to the archmages.
“Don’t worry, Nemesis.” Haimleke patted his chest in assurance. “As soon as I get back, I’ll start preparing for the move. You should also start preparing early on your end!”
“Of course, I’ll be building your new headquarters in a few weeks.” Su Yu guaranteed.
Alex, the Sanctuary mage, also smiled: “Then we’ll wait for your good news in Goldfinch City. I quite like this city, it indeed is more peaceful compared to the bustling Imperial Capital, suitable for settling down to read books We’re leaving! Goodbye, Nemesis.”
“Goodbye everyone!”
The archmages turned into white light on the teleportation circle and left Aphi City.
After sending off the great mages of the Scholar’s Temple, Su Yu and Tina rode Dima back to the City Hall.
The City Hall no longer resembled the decrepit wooden cabin it was initially. After twelve upgrades, the scale of the City Hall had expanded multiple times, changing from a wooden structure to a brick-and-mortar structure, and its interior and exterior decorations were extremely luxurious.
In the City Hall’s lounge, Su Yu lay sprawled on the brown leather sofa like a mess.
For the past ten days, he had barely taken any rest, online or offline.
Now that his territory had finally been promoted to a City, the tension abruptly dissipated, and all Su Yu wanted to do was rest, not even moving a pinky.
Tina, however, was energized.
She swapped her heavy armour for a delicate, light yellow dress in the changing rooms. Humming a little ditty, she poured two glasses of orange juice, walked over to Su Yu and handed him one. “This is for you.”
“Thank you!” Su Yu took a sip of the orange juice and admired Tina with interest.
Now that Tina had swapped the armour for a dress, her demeanor had become somewhat more gentle, reminiscent of a girl-next-door, which made Su Yu feel very comfortable.
“Say, Tina.” Su Yu curiously asked, “How did you think of fabricating ring effects to scare off Xi Fan just now?”
“I just had a sudden inspiration and thought I might as well give it a try. I didn’t expect it to actually work! Xi Fan is so silly!” Tina’s eyes squinted into slits from laughing so hard.
“As expected of my Tina, you’re so clever!” Su Yu affectionately ruffled Tina’s hair, making her hairstyle a bit messy.
Tina didn’t seem to mind.
Feeling Su Yu’s close proximity and his breath, she recalled how Sanctuary’s mage, Camilla, had called her “Nemesis’s wife”. Their current situation did seem a bit like husband and wife.
At this thought, Tina’s cheeks flushed a rosy red.
Looking at Tina’s blushing face, Su Yu suddenly felt playful.
“Oh my, is your face turning red? Come, let me have a look.”
“Nemesis, what are you doing?”
“Let me have a look!”
“Nemesis, don’t ” Tina shyly pushed away Su Yu’s hand.
“It’s okay. Let me see.”
“Nemesis, stop it. It’s not appropriate here.”
