Chapter 277: 277, The final battle begins! _1
The main reason that Regent King Legolas took a fancy to Su Yu and wanted to marry his daughter to him, was because he coveted Su Yu’s startling [Prophetic Arts].
After annihilating the Duchess Evanish who pledged allegiance to the undead, the elders among the elf race conducted an assessment of the entire “Plant Transformation Disease” incident.
The conclusion they arrived at—without Su Yu’s prophecy, it would have taken them at least several decades to develop a cure for this disease, and identify the culprit behind the scenes.
Su Yu’s [Prophetic Arts]enabled them to solve the problem of this disease decades ahead of time, a truly terrifying ability to rewrite the future!
In the long history of the elf race, there had been terrifying individuals capable of changing the future, but after using such powerful [Prophetic Arts], all of them paid a hefty price, some even with their lives.
Yet Su Yu was perfectly fine after making his prophecy. This pointed to the fact that the future of this young man was immeasurable!
So, Legolas valued Su Yu greatly and wanted to marry his daughter to him.
At the same time, His Majesty the Regent was gleefully contemplating, “If Nemesis marries Emily, the [World Tree Heart] will not fall into the hands of outsiders, that’s making a huge profit!”
“And possibly, the child of Emily and Nemesis might inherit this terrifying prophetic ability, this seems like a bloody good deal no matter how I think of it!”
Legolas looked at Su Yu with fatherly affection, so much so that he nearly addressed him as “son”.
Su Yu, on the other hand, managed an awkward yet polite smile.
Just when he was wondering how to tactfully decline, a clear female voice suddenly came from the distant horizon. It was Princess Alisha’s voice saying, “No, Nemesis is not willing.”
In the sky, Alisha sped towards the elf mansion.
“That was close! A step later and maybe it would have been too late!” Alisha thought as she accelerated.
Legolas had noticed the princess’ arrival long ago.
But he didn’t know about the special relationship between Su Yu and the princess. So, after hearing the princess’s words, he found it odd. Why was Princess Alisha trying to prevent this marriage?
But Legolas didn’t think too much about it and directly flew towards the sky.
There, he greeted Alisha with an ancient elf nobility salute and said, “Princess Alisha, it’s a pleasure to meet you again.”
“I’m also glad to see you again.” Standing in the sky, Alisha returned Legolas’s salute and said, “The main purpose of my visit is to remind the elves: the decisive battle is about to begin. You need to be ready.”
“Rest assured, we’ll be prepared,” Legolas assured her.
At the same time, he asked with some uncertainty, “But Princess Alisha, why are you trying to stop my daughter’s wedding to Nemesis? Do you think my daughter is not worthy of him?”
“It’s not about worthiness…” Alisha paused, unable to say outright that Nemesis was her man, right?
She turned to look at Su Yu who was below, “Nemesis, come back with me. The decisive battle is about to start. Let’s talk about everything else after the battle.”
“Alright, Princess Alisha.” Su Yu replied.
“Regent King, I’ll take my leave now. If there’s anything else, we can discuss it after the battle.”
Without waiting for Legolas’s response, Alisha quickly took off with Su Yu, leaving the elf mansion.
Before you knew it, 20 minutes had passed in reality.
The Catter’s rebel army had emerged from their base camp.
The east gate of Orleans City.
The players standing on the city wall could see a massive dark force on the distant road.
The NPC regular army was marching in the middle, pushing the [Siege Tower], [Battering Ram], [Heavy Trebuchet] and other siege weapons with strict military discipline;
The players participating in this campaign were scattered around, their formation quite disorderly.
However, such a large gathering brought an epic sense of “mounting pressure” to the players on the Imperial side of the city wall, stirring up strong emotions in many of them.
All the rebels of fifth rank and above were flying in the sky above this army.
These rebel powerhouses were roughly divided into three groups:
The first group was led by Duke Landilus and consisted of about a hundred people;
The second group, led by Duke Anzu Seifer, also had around a hundred people;
The third group was situated towards the rear of the center, led by the strongest of the Lai Yin Empire — the peak Seventh Order Holy Knight [Tula Yang], with a dozen powerful backers from the Lai Yin Empire following behind him.
All three groups combined, there were 286 powerful figures advancing towards Orleans City.
Feeling the approach of the enemies, the Empire’s high-ranking fighters also began to take to the sky.
There were slightly fewer high-ranking fighters from the Empire’s side, only a total of 255. However, in terms of apex combat power at the Sixth and Seventh Orders, the Empire was not lacking. The two sides could practically be described as evenly matched.
Princess Alisha took the lead, followed by other high-ranking fighters from the Empire, heading towards the enemy high-ranking fighters.
Su Yu followed slowly by Princess Alisha’s side, flying.
He was currently under the buff of [Tina Garcia’s Blessing] and was on an equal level with Tina, both being Sixth Order Sanctuary members.
However, his skills were not fully developed, and his equipment was only of the Fourth Order, so he couldn’t be considered a Sixth Order fighter. At most, he could be regarded as an enlarged Fifth Order fighter.
Looking at the dukes Landilus and Anzu Seifer, who were getting closer and closer, Su Yu sighed slightly: “Does it mean the Shooting Star is a no-go?”
“What shooting star?” asked Tina, who was flying side by side with him.
“Oh, nothing, I was just talking about the meteor you summon.” Su Yu replied with a smile.
Tina:
When could she summon meteors?
During their conversation, Alyssa lead the group of high-rank fighters over the city walls.
The players on the city wall lifted their heads to watch.
When they spotted Su Yu mixed in the crowd, many of them exclaimed:
“Look! The one in the blue robe is Boss Ke!”
“Really! It’s really Boss Ke!”
“Hi, Boss Ke! Hello to both ladies!”
“I envy Boss Ke for being able to participate in epic battles, while we can only deal with the small fry among the enemy.”
“I envy Boss Ke for being able to fly! I also wish I could fly someday too! ”
Seeing the excited players on the city wall, Su Yu hovered over the wall, waved at the players in the manner of a school leader, and said, “You’ve worked hard, everyone!”
Players burst into laughter, responding: “You’ve worked hard too, Boss Ke!”
“You all got a tan.”
“Boss Ke, you’re even tanner!”
Su Yu:
Nevertheless, he didn’t linger too long and continued flying forward with the group of high-ranking fighters.
When the distance between the two sides was only about 400 meters, Alyssa and the two Dukes simultaneously stopped and hovered mid-air.
Alyssa looked at the two Dukes and smiled slightly, saying, “Duke Landilus, Duke Seifer, long time no see!”
“Long time no see, your esteemed Highness,” replied both Dukes simultaneously.
The Duke Anzu Seifer seemed to remain calm and composed;
The look in Duke Landilus’s eyes was sharp as a hawk, staring like a predator.
After responding, Landilus looked directly at the Princess and said in a threatening manner: “Your Highness, from tomorrow on, the title ‘Goldfinch Empire’ will no longer exist. What do you think about this matter?”
