Chapter 286: 286, Battle of Orleans City (End) Two Dukes Die_1
Noticing Tina had fainted, Su Yu swiftly flew over to catch her, just in time to prevent her from falling from the sky.
Bernina’s kindly voice came from behind Su Yu, “Tina momentarily cannot accept all my inheritance. She just needs some rest… By the way, you’re ‘Nemesis’, aren’t you?”
Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and replied, “Yes, I am Nemesis.”
Bernina examined Su Yu up and down. She looked a bit like a mother-in-law appraising her son-in-law.
Then she kindly said, “You’re a good young man, and you pair well with Tina… How about this, come find me in Sunny Wind Village once you reached the sixth tier. I’ll give you some good stuff.”
“Ding, you have triggered the legendary hidden mission: [Bernina’s Favour].”
“Mission requirement: Level up to 75 (sixth tier), go to the Newbie Village to see [Village Chief].”
“Mission reward: ?”
“Thank you, Madam Bernina!” Su Yu happily responded.
Being a top-tier entity in this world, even a casual reward from Bernina would be a treasure to players, so he would certainly not decline.
Bernina nodded, then turned to the group of the two dukes. Her gaze gradually became icy: “Now, we can talk business.”
Upon noticing Bernina’s frosty gaze, the orc chief priest Grizzly and Sword Saint Kugel Bloodthroat simultaneously half-kneeled in mid-air and shouted aloud:
“Your Excellency Bernina, please forgive us for this intrusion into human territorial lands. As long as you forgive us, we promise that we will never step into the human world in this lifetime!”
“Too late.” Bernina slightly shook her head and snapped her fingers with her left hand.
“Bang!” “Bang!” Two loud noises occurred as the orc chief priest and the Sword Saint exploded into two clouds of blood, instantly perishing.
Nearby powerful individuals trembled simultaneously, disbelievingly watching the scene.
Two seventh-tier, almost peak, powerhouses were executed without a chance to fight back; this was too terrifying!
“As for you two.” Bernina’s icy eyes swept over the two Dukes, “You actually dared to collude with the orcs, you’re quite bold!”
“Your Excellency Bernina.” The two Dukes also immediately kneeled down, trembling with fear, “We were wrong, please spare us! If you can spare us, we are willing to offer you everything we have!”
“Heh, I have no interest in your rubbish.” Bernina disdainfully glanced at them, then looked at all the humans present, “I warn you, don’t collude with the orcs! Otherwise, you’ll pay the same price as these two!”
Once again Bernina snapped her fingers, there were two more bangs, and the two Dukes, Landilus and Anzu Seifer, exploded into two clouds of blood, becoming history.
Watching her enemies be vaporized, Alisha was slightly dazed: “Is… is it over?”
The deaths of the two Dukes announced that the Empire side had completely won this war, Tula Yang, Thor, Gaven IV, and other foreign powerhouses also had no reason to continue fighting.
Roland, Sharon, and other seventh-tier powerhouses from the Empire side exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of unreality.
Originally, they were all prepared for a big battle, but now it seemed it was about to hastily conclude.
Bernina did not pay any mind to these powerhouses’ feelings; she looked towards the Star Realm cat Erin, “Little one, you should go back too, right? Don’t come here again.”
“Rest assured, Your Excellency Bernina, I promise I won’t come back.”
Erin knew that Bernina wanted to spare her and heaved a sigh of relief. She opened the Star Realm portal and hurriedly retreated into it.
Bernina glanced at all the high-ranking elites present and said, “Alright, I have done all that needs to be done. Resolve your own conflicts amongst yourselves. I am going to kill a couple of the Orc Empire’s high-ranking individuals to serve as a warning… Alyssa, Nemesis, make sure to take care of Tina.”
“Rest assured, Madam Bernina.” Alyssa and Su Yu immediately responded.
“Hmm.” Bernina nodded, transformed into a blue ray of light heading north, and disappeared over the horizon in an instant.
After Bernina left, the remaining high-ranking elites were left speechless for a long time.
Down below, the rebel army was also in silence. With their Dukes dead, what could they continue to fight for?
Therefore, the rebel army gave up their siege and slowly began withdrawing towards their base.
Tula Yang certainly knew that the tide had turned.
However, he did not show any signs of discouragement, but instead, he cheerfully said to the princess, “Princess Alyssa, the two dukes who colluded with the orcs have received their deserved punishment. But our emperor once said, ‘A regime that stands against the people is bound to be overthrown by the people.’ Therefore, we are bound to meet again on the battlefield. Goodbye, Princess Alyssa.”
After this, he and Thor, along with their subordinates, quickly retreated.
Alyssa watched Tula Yang’s retreating figure with anger.
She very much wanted to stop these people from the Lai Yin Empire, but she did not have the power to do so and could only watch as they left.
The powerhouses of the Wind Chime Empire, just like Tula Yang, left a polite word or two before quickly leaving, and the Princess did not send anyone to stop them.
As for the remaining over a hundred high-ranking rebels, led by their three seventh-tier powerhouses, they wisely surrendered to the princess.
Alyssa didn’t say anything and directly accepted their surrender.
After all, the Goldfinch Empire was in shambles. They simply couldn’t afford to continue infighting.
In the heyday of the Empire, there were over a thousand high-ranking individuals above the fifth-tier, but now, there weren’t even 300 – they simply couldn’t afford any more losses.
After the high-ranking rebels surrendered, this battle ultimately ended with the victory of the Empire side!
But strangely, looking at the silhouette of the Princess in the sky, Su Yu felt that she did not seem very happy, her face clouded with faint sadness.
“Perhaps she is troubled with ruling the nation. After all, the current state of the Empire is a disaster. Any normal person would feel overwhelmed.” Su Yu speculated in his mind.
But now, the Princess had a lot to deal with, so Su Yu did not bother her.
“I will wait until Alyssa has some free time in the evening, then I’ll go and talk to her about her troubles.” Su Yu thought privately.
After bidding farewell to the Princess, Su Yu, while the buff was still active for a few minutes, carried Tina back to her house and laid her on the bed in her bedroom.
After leaving Tina’s house, Su Yu stretched lazily.
The main plot this time compared to his past life had veered off considerably.
In the past, the plot resulted in Tina summoning a meteor to devastate the enemy’s base, and in this life, it was Bernina who appeared and executed the two Dukes.
He didn’t know if future storyline updates might be significantly affected due to this.
Regardless, the main plot was temporarily concluded, and Su Yu could finally relax a little.
