Chapter 283: 283, Battle of Orleans City (VI) Star Realm Cat, Dragon Race_1
The face of the elven Regent King, Legolas, became especially solemn, but he did not panic excessively.
For the letter delivered to him by Su Yu on Princess Alyssa’s behalf had mentioned – aside from them, Alyssa had prepared other trump cards.
Alyssa threw a “rest assured” look at Legolas and the other strong individuals under her command.
Then she calmly gazed at the two dukes in front of her and the large number of high-ranking enemies, and declared, “You wouldn’t naively think that aside from His Majesty the Regent King, I have no other backup measures prepared, would you?”
The imposing momentum of the two encroaching dukes stalled momentarily.
Alyssa offered a faint smile, pulling out a fist-sized transparent crystal from her Space Ring.
This crystal was deep blue in colour. Within the crystal were seven glowing points forming the shape of a “spoon,” it was very dazzling.
Alyssa lightly tossed the crystal around in her hand, then hurled it up into the sky, shouting at the same time, “Descend! Lady Erin!”
Not long after leaving Alyssa’s hand, the deep blue crystal “pop” shattered into countless pieces.
These shards glimmered with light, sparkling like numerous fragments of stars.
The seven glowing points, freed from the crystal’s restraint, radiated even more dazzling light!
The fast-releasing Star Force from them, spreading out a blue [Star Realm Portal] with the seven points at its center.
“Meow”
With a lazy meow, a [Star Realm Cat] with fur aflame with starlight walked out of the [Star Realm Portal].
This Star Realm Cat was not Morning Star, but Morning Star’s mother — Erin.
Erin had an innocuous appearance and drifted leisurely mid-air, taking lazy cat steps.
Yet, her aura was exceedingly ominous! The energy radiating from her body had almost reached the level of Xi Fan, making her one of the most terrifying existences just below the God Level!
After making her appearance, Erin first glanced in the two dukes’ direction before swinging her gaze back onto Alyssa, “Hello, Alyssa!”
“Hello! Madam Erin!” Alyssa hurriedly responded with respect.
Erin nodded, “Alyssa, I’m here to help you deal with these pests. But beforehand, I need to give Morning Star to you first.”
After Erin finished speaking, a light blue “cat egg”, covered in star-pattern etchings appeared before Alyssa, “Morning Star has matured and will hatch soon, I’m leaving her in your care for the remaining days, you must look after her for me!”
“I will, Lady Erin!” Alyssa replied solemnly.
Then, with a light flick of her hand, a light green portal similar to a Druid’s [Emerald Dream] appeared before her. She carefully placed Morning Star’s egg into the portal.
Su Yu, who was watching offline through the live broadcast, were taken aback by this sequence of events.
No wonder Alyssa was looking at “How to Raise a Kitten” a few days ago. It turned out she was preparing to raise Morning Star in her kitten stage!
During the Battle of Kaishi Town, Morning Star was forced to reincarnate back into her “cat egg” state due to Walnut’s Rebirth Mark, and her hatching time had passed.
It seemed that Morning Star’s mother intended to leave Morning Star in Alyssa’s care. After all, the growth cycle of Star Realm Kittens was simply too long. Only with the enormous resources that the princess had could she grow faster.
However, Su Yu had no time to think about this now. Half an hour of login prohibition was over, he quickly shut down the computer, grabbed the helmet, and sat on the sofa to re-enter the game.
Above the sky of Orleans City.
Upon the appearance of the Star Realm Cat, Erin, the two dukes deeply exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of “That was close” in each other’s eyes.
They were aware of Morning Star’s existence. They also knew that the princess had profound ties with the Star Race Cats, and they had even considered the possibility that the princess would invite Star Race Cats as reinforcements. They never thought that the princess would really call upon the cats to aid in battle!
Fortunately, they had a contingency plan for this scenario; otherwise, if a Star Realm Cat with power near to Xi Fan’s had arrived on the battlefield, the welcoming party would have been a crushing defeat!
Duke Landilus took a deep breath, turning to face the northeast direction, “Dragon Emperor, you once promised me that ‘If the Star Realm Kittens appear, so will you’. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise!”
No sooner had Duke Landilus’s words descended, the image of a gigantic dragon, comparable in size to a small mountain and with dark painted scales, emerged in the sky to the northeast.
“Hehe, young man, even if you didn’t ask, I would have appeared voluntarily.” The voice of the Black Dragon echoed from afar, and its massive wings blotted out the sky.
“Roar!”
The resounding dragon’s roar swept across all, and both the NPC soldiers and players alike were left swaying, temporarily losing their hearing.
“Outsider, leave our plane!” Fury shot from the eyes of the Black Dragon, and its thunderous voice echoed through the sky.
As the race with the greatest average strength within the main plane of the game, dragon children are born with the strength of the third rank, and if nothing unexpected happens, they would at least reach the sixth rank of Sanctuary when they mature.
With great power, comes great responsibility.
With such potent force, the Dragon Race naturally has to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.
The Dragon Race is mainly responsible for the safety of the main plane, to prevent invasions by other planes. (Of course, players are exceptions. When the players are born, they are marked with [Bernina Tide] by the village head, and recognized as members of the main plane.)
[Star Realm Kittens] live in another sub-plane called [Star Realm], and they are the objects the Dragon Race guards against strenuously.
Worth mentioning is that the Hall of Reincarnation of the Pandamen Empire serves a similar function, keeping a constant eye on [Star Realm], [Void], [Abyss] and a few other sub-planes. That’s why the previous scene where Walnut impersonated a necromancer to ambush Morning Star occurred.
After receiving news about the arrival of species from the Star Realm, this Black Dragon, also known as the peak seventh rank Dragon Emperor Bahamut, agreed to Landilus’s request and personally came to confront Morning Star’s mother.
Dragon Emperor Bahamut knew that Morning Star’s mother was summoned by Alyssa and glared at her fiercely.
However, he also knew who Alyssa’s ancestors were. They weren’t someone he could afford to provoke. The only thing he could do was direct his fury towards Morning Star’s mother, “Foreigner, this is your final warning! Either you retreat back to the Star Realm now, or you risk being shredded into pieces by my claws!”
“Meow” Morning Star’s mother arched her body, her fur standing on end.
The enraged mother cat.
Morning Star’s mother knew that if she backed down now, Alyssa would certainly face defeat, and how could her daughter grow swiftly if Alyssa were defeated?
For the sake of her daughter’s future, this great mother decided to fight!
“Hey there, big lizard! Let’s take our fight outside the atmosphere!” After Morning Star’s mother finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of starlight and flew towards the outer atmosphere.
Dragon Emperor Bahamut exhaled a hot breath from his nostrils, but offered no response. He ascended in silence, following Morning Star’s mother into outer space.
