These four large-scale battles rendered substantial rewards for all participating players.
Each battle allows up to 10,000 players to engage simultaneously.
Due to the pressure from the Skuru in the game, not a single player among the 10,000 attendees was idle, and almost none were freeloaders. Everyone strived to complete the campaign to the best of their abilities.
Furthermore, with Su Yu’s control of the whole campaign, Snow Leopard’s battlefield command and intelligence gathering, the first three battles were graded with an “S”, even the last battle earned an “SS”!
An “S” grade reward increases by 30%, while an “SS” grade increases by 40%, and also includes an additional rare item of equipment.
Thus, the players who took part in the battles return laden with loot.
Some players with bad luck did not manage to secure a spot in the battlefield.
However, these players kept themselves busy in Orleans City, continually unearthing hidden missions from NPCs.
The opening of Tina’s primary mission led to a surge in side quests and secret missions in Orleans City.
Even while simply walking down the street, with a bit of luck, one might suddenly trigger a hidden mission.
This enabled players visiting Orleans City to reap substantial benefits, which made their journey worthwhile.
Even some players managed to uncover hidden missions relating to the villains, which included the city lord’s manor, the Windsor Family, and the various powers in the city, and actively took part in them.
These players proactively provided Su Yu with inside information, and from their intel, Su Yu managed to learn much about the villains’ movements.
With the news of Tina’s successive victories in the bandit cleansing constantly making its way back to Orleans city, the whole city was a buzz!
Who benefits most from the cleansing of bandits? Without a doubt, it’s the common folk of Orleans City.
The bandits weren’t always hidden deep in the mountains. They often descended to attack small villages, plundering food and people.
Many merchants were ruined by the bandits’ pillaging along the routes to other cities.
Because of the bandits, the people of Orleans City dared not venture out to travel or visit friends in other cities.
Everyone suffered at their hands.
“Cleansing of Bandits” was a task that should have been handled by the city lord’s manor and various lords, but the bandits would tribute 50-70% of their loot to the city lord and the lords.
Having benefitted from it, the city lord and various lords, naturally turned a blind eye. The ones who suffered were the common people.
Therefore, when the good news of Tina’s triumph over the bandits spread back to Orleans City, the common folk rejoiced. People spontaneously organized grand celebratory parades just like on festive days!
The 40th segment of the main story, Tina leading a large army returning to Orleans City after being victorious in vanquishing the bandits.
Entering the broad Robin Avenue of Orleans city, Tina, riding a Unicorn, led her troops in the procession.
Behind Tina were the formidable Unicorn Knights, and following them were carriages with imprisoned bandit leaders.
Orleans city was deserted today.
Both sides of Robin Avenue were crowded with spectators and revelers. People cheered and threw petals at Tina in a hero’s welcome
Tina waved to the citizens and led her troops to the city center square.
Upon reaching the square, Tina ordered the execution of these evil bandit leaders.
Watching these extremely wicked bandits strangle on the ropes one by one, the cheers of the people shook heaven and earth!
Everyone shouted Tina’s name wildly, and in the hearts of the people, Tina’s status soared, her popularity was unmatched for a time.
At the same moment Tina was executing the bandits, events were taking shape at the city lord’s manor in Orleans City.
In a large conference room within the city lord’s manor, City Lord Claude Strathrow sat at the head of the conference table, sipping his red tea with a grave expression on his face.
Sitting opposite him were four high-ranking staff members, and behind the staff members sat a player.
The player was obviously not Su Yu, as Su Yu and the City Lord of Orleans City were at odds, he could not possibly be here.
While this player was not Su Yu, Su Yu was quite familiar with her because she was none other than – the Sky Dragon Loli!
The Sky Dragon Loli was incredibly lucky.
Five days ago, she briskly walked down the streets of Orleans City when an NPC auntie suddenly stopped her, bestowing her an epic hidden quest.
Sky Dragon thought for a moment and decided to give it a shot.
Unexpectedly, this hidden quest was surprisingly simple!
In the final stage of this 20-part mission, she ended up saving the life of a girl named Frandor Strathrow.
As it turned out, this girl was the second daughter of the city lord, Claude.
Thanks to this connection, she easily made her way into the inner circle of the city lord’s manor and even had the qualification to partake in this important meeting.
Moreover, city lord Claude had deep trust in the Sky Dragon.
Over the past few days, Claude had been instructing the Sky Dragon to collect information related to Tina Garcia.
The Sky Dragon Loli did an outstanding job and brought back loads of accurate intelligence. Her performance far outshone that of Claude’s useless intelligence department.
Hence, the Sky Dragon officially became the head of Claude’s intelligence section, responsible for gathering information related to Tina.
City lord Claude took a sip of his tea and set down the cup, turning to the Sky Dragon. “Adventurer, has Tina Garcia entered our city yet?”
The other four staff members also turned to look at her.
Feeling all eyes upon her, the Sky Dragon propped up her cheek with her right hand and nonchalantly replied, “Indeed. Tina Garcia, along with her Knights have arrived at the central square of the city. They are presently executing the captured bandit leaders um four are dead, with five to go.”
City lord Claude did not mind the Sky Dragon’s lazy manner.
He picked up his cup again and took another sip, his gaze sweeping across his staff at the table: “Gentlemen, should we take this opportunity to deal with Tina?”
Tina’s rising power had left Claude feeling increasingly uneasy; her threat was growing by the day.
Instead of sitting back and letting her grow stronger, wouldn’t it be better to take this opportunity to unite all noble forces within the city and eliminate her? Even after the princess arrives, she won’t turn against him because of a dead man.
But killing Tina came with a great deal of risk, hence his hesitation.
The staff members exchanged uneasy glances with each other.
After exchanging glances, the lead staff member summoned his courage to stand up: “My Lord, I don’t think now is the best time. Let’s not talk about the Unicorn Knights for now, the strength of Tina Garcia needs to be further analyzed.”
Another staff member added, “Exactly, my Lord, Tina Garcia is in high spirits right now. You acting hastily could potentially destabilize the situation in Orleans City, impacting your rule.”
“Furthermore, the Princess will arrive shortly. Our priority should be maintaining stability. We should avoid taking any risks at this crucial moment.” added the remaining staff members.
Lord Claude, already having reservations, let out a faint sigh after hearing his staff’s caution, “Alright, we will hold off for now.”
Claude stood up, preparing to leave.
But before he left the meeting room, he turned to the Sky Dragon. “Adventurer, continue gathering information related to Tina Garcia. As for the previously agreed reward, you can find my daughter, Frandor. She’ll have it ready for you.”
“Thank you, my Lord,” lazily replied the Sky Dragon Loli.
