Chapter 208: The Battle of Aphi City (III)_1
Translator: 549690339
“Link, Joslin, Andre, Carson, the five of us will set off!” Haimleke looked back at the four grand magicians.
“Understood.” The four grand magicians stepped out of the crowd, following Haimleke into the teleportation circle.
In the open space in front of the west gate of Aphi city.
A deep blue teleportation door opened here.
With Haimleke leading the way, the 5 grand magicians stepped out, soaring high, and started proceeding towards Su Yu and Tina’s position to support them.
Count Philip almost had a heart attack when he saw the five flying figures.
“Damn it! Five fifth-grade powerhouses, where did Nemesis find these reinforcements?!”
A moment ago, Philip thought Nemesis was resolutely resisting like a clown. Now, he suddenly realized that the “clown” seemed to be not Nemesis, but himself.
Haimleke yelled to Su Yu from far away: “Brother Nemesis, we are here! We are not too late, are we?”
“Of course it’s not too late, the battle has not yet started.” Su Yu smiled and waved at him: “Let me introduce you, this is Count Philip of Falling Moon Town; Count Philip, this is Haimleke of the Scholar’s Temple.”
Su Yu’s tone was like a normal chat between friends, introducing them to each other.
But Count Philip’s face became especially grim, he roared at Haimleke: “Haimleke, this is a dispute between noble lords, how dare you, the Scholar’s Temple, intervene conspicuously? Aren’t you afraid of being boycotted by the entire nobility?”
Haimleke’s face did not change, shrugging: “We actually didn’t want to interfere, but unfortunately Nemesis gave too many spiritual energy coins.”
Then he instructed the ones behind him: “Don’t bother talking to them, hurry up and take action, so we can go back to read a book.”
“Alright.” The other four grand magicians nodded one after another, and began casting spells.
The expressions on the faces of the five 5th-grade powerhouses from Falling Moon Town were also ugly.
Now it’s 5 against 8, they are absolutely at a disadvantage in numbers, and the enemy has a monster like Tina, who can fight three alone, how can they fight?
Noticing that the grand magicians from the Scholar’s Temple began to cast spells simultaneously, the five powerhouses looked at each other quickly and made a decision – retreat!
The five didn’t hesitate and immediately fled towards Orleans City to the west, and in an instant, they disappeared into the horizon.
Su Yu and the others did not plan to chase.
Once the enemy’s five powerhouses fled, the armies below became lambs to the slaughter.
Haimleke and the other grand magicians gathered their magic power quickly, preparing to paralyze the army below with an area spell.
“Everyone, wait a minute, let me try to persuade them to surrender first.” After speaking to the grand magicians, Su Yu shouted to the Moonlight Town’s forces below:
“The fifth-grade powerhouses fighting for you have all run away, and we still have a total of eight fifth-grade powerhouses here!
I’m ordering you to drop your weapons and surrender immediately! I will count to ten. If you do not surrender by then, you only have one fate – death!”
The soldiers of Moonlight Town, of course, were well aware of the situation overhead, feeling the tumultuous spiritual energy fluctuations in the hands of the five grand magicians, each of them felt their scalp tingle.
“I surrender too! Please, don’t kill me!”
One after another, the soldiers dropped their weapons to surrender.
And this mood was contagious, once someone surrendered, it often led to those around him to follow suit.
Su Yu had finished the countdown.
By now, except for Count Philip and his loyal guards, all the remaining soldiers had basically surrendered and knelt on the ground.
Count Philip’s face was livid as he watched everything unfold. But he was powerless, he was only a level three and couldn’t even escape.
“Philip, aren’t you going to surrender?” Su Yu, holding the [Sorrow of Fungus], pointed at him.
“Hmph!” Philip huffed, intending to play the martyr.
“Tina, kill him!” Su Yu said coldly.
“Okie dokie!” A golden streak shot across the sky as Tina approached the Count quickly, her longsword glowing so intensively under the sun that no one dared to look directly at it. It seemed as if she was really going to kill him.
“Stop! Stop! Stop! I surrender! Isn’t my surrender enough?” Count Philip tumbled down from his horse, pleading on his knees with a smile on his face.
His personal guards also quickly fell to their knees alongside their lord, and only then did Tina retract her longsword.
As the war was about to end in Su Yu’s complete victory, Captain Francis in the city became frantic!
This time, when Count Philip led his troops to attack Su Yu’s territories, he wasn’t acting on his own accord. Behind the scenes, Lord Claude of Orleans City was pulling the strings.
The four level-five powerhouses who had been pretending to be guards around Count Philip were troops that Lord Claude had sent to support him.
Lord Claude had only two objectives:
First, to raze Su Yu’s territory;
Second, to kill Tina Garcia.
But now that Nemesis had actually called for reinforcements from the Scholar’s Temple, the situation had quickly taken a turn for the worse.
Given that both his objectives were at risk of failing, how could he not be anxious?
However, Francis suddenly remembered something:
When he left Orleans City, Lord Claude had personally given him a firework tube, telling him to light it in a critical moment.
Since it was obviously a critical moment now, Francis quickly ordered his aide to find the firework tube in the supply carriage.
The firework tube was lit, and a firework shot straight into the sky, exploding in the air and causing quite a commotion.
Due to it being daytime, people below didn’t see the dazzling display of fireworks, they were simply attracted by the booming noise of the explosion, and turned to look towards it.
At the same moment that the firework exploded, all the players within the city received a system notification:
“The Lord of Orleans City, [Claude Strathrow], personally leads an elite force of 3000 soldiers to join the war. Please prepare for defense.”
“What? I’m not seeing things, am I? There’s a second siege?”
“The Lord of Orleans City? That’s a big shot!”
“The enemy’s power has doubled, can Boss Ke still hold on?”
“Don’t worry, Boss Ke certainly has the winning hand.”
The players were all talking at once.
At the end of the road on the west side of Aphi city, dust was stirring, and it was clear that the lord’s army was rapidly closing in on Aphi city.
At the same time, nine small “black dots” appeared in the sky in the west.
These were nine powerhouses who could fly in the sky.
Among these nine powerhouses, five were the ones who had run away just now. Of the remaining four, one was Claude, the Lord of Orleans City, and the other three were his subordinates.
Lord Claude only had these eight level five powerhouses under him in total, and this time he had brought all of them, with the aim of killing Tina Garcia to complete the task given to him by that influential figure.
The army of 3000 below him was also the most elite force he had, he intended to “go all in” in one fell swoop!
Tina watched as the rapidly approaching Lord’s large army, a deep worry crossed her face, “Nemesis, what do we do? Lord Claude is a level six powerhouse, none of us can take him on.”
Tina turned her head to look at the others.
But she was surprised to find that Su Yu and the others from the Scholar’s Temple were all relaxed, which struck her as odd: “What? Aren’t any of you worried?”
“Of course not, because we still have reinforcements!” Su Yu smiled.
Su Yu sent a private message to [Nuclear Waste Water]: “Nuclear Waste Water, have Lord Alex and Lady Camilla come over!”
