Chapter 275: 275, The Eve of the Decisive Battle_1
Su Yu was extremely satisfied with the attributes of this set of equipment!
In “Evolution,” many pieces in this epic set of equipment come with skills attached, and equipment with attached skills is the most precious.
For example, the level 5 “Village Chief’s Staff” comes with a “Flash Skill.” Su Yu has kept this staff up to now and even uses it occasionally.
The “Lighthouse Sudden Chill” set comes with eight skills: “Ice Barrier,” “Frost Shield,” “Frost Nova.” All of these are very practical skills.
He even felt that wearing this set to Skru Star wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Moreover, the seven-piece set of equipment offers a skill with a cooldown time of 24 hours!
In “Evolution,” the longer the cooldown time for a skill, the stronger its effect, almost without exception. Even if Su Yu has never used this skill, he knows it must be powerful.
The last and most crucial point is that golden equipment can be brought into reality.
When he eventually acquires a higher-level set of equipment, he can completely give this set to other mage players in the offline world, which would be a win-win situation no matter how he thinks about it!
Thinking of this, Su Yu joyfully said, “Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!”
“You’re welcome. Why should we thank each other?” Alyssa responded with a smile, twirling her fingers through her hair at her temples.
But then she suddenly seemed to remember something.
So Alyssa blinked at Su Yu, “Nemesis, why don’t you change your clothes now? I can check the goods right away.”
“Now?” Su Yu was taken aback.
“Of course, change now. There’s no one else here.” Alyssa cast a sealing spell, securely locking the wooden door of the study.
This spell clearly expressed one thing: If Su Yu didn’t change now, he wouldn’t be able to leave.
Su Yu:
Why did it feel like Alyssa was sure he’d comply?
He suddenly had a deja vu feeling like a lamb to the slaughter.
However, there was a principle Su Yu always adhered to—if I don’t feel embarrassed, then the one who should feel embarrassed is them.
And besides, Alyssa was just about to turn 15. Could he be easily scared by her?
“Alright, I’ll change.” Su Yu took off his mage robe, revealing his eight-pack abs. He flaunted them in front of Alyssa.
But once he had taken off his robe, he suddenly noticed that because he had not exercised for a month, absorbed excessive spiritual energy, and had been immersed in Prime Minister Cao Cao’s medicine bath, his belly appeared swollen. His eight-pack was on the verge of becoming a ‘single pack!’ This made him feel a bit embarrassed.
But Alyssa never expected Su Yu to just take off his shirt so easily.
She had just wanted to tease Su Yu without really meaning it…
This was the first time in her life she had seen a male upper body, and she immediately blushed and turned her head away.
“Just a paper tiger after all.” Su Yu thought to himself with a smile, putting on the Lighthouse Sudden Chill Robe.
The Lighthouse Sudden Chill Robe was made from the silk of a fourth-order Warcraft, the “Ice Aurora Moth,” which was blue throughout. There was a giant lighthouse emblazoned on the chest. Beside the lighthouse was a sun just risen from sea level.
The symbolism of the pattern was clear: the sun was rising, which signified that the effect of the lighthouse was slowly decreasing. It was a pretty meaningful metaphor.
The robe was covered with a thick layer of frost. When Su Yu put it on, he could feel the water elements in the air quickly gathering towards him. He couldn’t say about other things, but it would definitely be cold to wear this for the summer!
Seeing Su Yu put on the robe, Alyssa finally turned her face back.
As the saying goes, “Clothes make the man.”
After Su Yu put on this new robe, his temperament definitely improved a lot from before. There was even the demeanor of a high-ranking mage in his every move!
Alyssa’s eyes lit up and pulled on his sleeve, “Nemesis, this equipment actually suits you quite well!”
“Of course, I am good-looking no matter what I wear.” Su Yu answered.
Alyssa could not help but roll her eyes.
After talking for a while, Princess Alyssa glanced outside the window and said, “It’s getting late, I need to have a meeting with all the ministers. You should go back home and rest well in these few days in preparation for the decisive battle.”
As she spoke, she removed the seal on the wooden door.
“Princess Alyssa, when do you anticipate the decisive battle to occur?” Su Yu asked.
Alyssa pondered and replied, “It’s likely to happen in about half a month.”
“Are you confident of a victorious outcome?” Su Yu was somewhat worried.
The main story plot for this world, due to the deep influence of Su Yu, has become completely different from the previous world.
Over these days, Su Yu recalled the main story plot from the previous world through his memory:
In the plot of the previous world, Xi Fan did not rebel and he lived until the fourth expansion pack;
Princess Alyssa joined forces with her father, the king of Forest City, and the Emperor of Goldfinch led an army of 500,000 out from Forest City to fight a decisive battle with the rebels.
But in that battle, the Emperor suffered a terrible defeat and fled back to Forest City.
The Emperor’s defeat rapidly intensified the internal conflicts within the Empire.
To resolve the internal conflicts, Princess Alyssa instigated a coup to seize her father’s military power.
However, Alyssa could not withstand the fierce rebellion forces and fled to Orleans City in panic.
The rebels pursued relentlessly, forcing the siege of Orleans City step by step.
In desperation, Alyssa appointed Tina Garcia, who had high prestige in Orleans City, to command the nation’s army.
The second day of Tina’s appointment, a gigantic meteor fell from outer space into the rebel’s main camp, resulting in the death of 300,000 regular soldiers. The high-ranking forces of the rebellion also suffered heavy casualties from the meteor strike.
The strike from the meteor almost completely destroyed the main force of the rebellion. Tina easily defeated the rebels and finally unified the nation.
That was the plot of the past world.
But the plot in this world is completely different from the past world.
Tina has served as a marshal for almost two months, and there’s no sign of the “meteor” at all.
So, Su Yu was not sure if this war could actually be won. What if, in this world, the Empire is destined to lose?
However, Alyssa was very confident. She looked at Su Yu and said, “Don’t worry, Nemesis. For the sake of our people, I guarantee that I will win this war!”
“Good luck then! Goodbye, princess.”
“Goodbye, Nemesis.”
After bidding farewell to the princess, Su Yu left the mansion.
In the next half month, or little more than a day in the real world, both sides were at a complete ceasefire.
But everyone knew that a storm was brewing – the whole city was uneasy, and everyone was preparing for the war, whether actively or passively.
Soon, the half-month period passes in a hurry.
The time of the decisive battle was upon them.
No sign of a meteor was seen during this half month, so Su Yu did not dare to hope anymore.
It’s worth mentioning that during this half month, Princess Alyssa celebrated her fifteenth birthday, and Tina Garcia celebrated her seventeenth, with their birthdays only three days apart.
However, both of them didn’t pay much attention to their birthdays. They didn’t even bother to hold a birthday party, focusing all their energy on the upcoming decisive battle.
Su Yu also did not slack off.
He returned to his Mage Tower on his own territory, tidying equipment and absorbing the materials of Warcraft in order to increase his strength, and he patiently waited for the next tasks to be opened.
Finally, the date arrived. On July 14th, the decisive battle was officially launched!
