Duke Anzu Seifer leads his powerful subordinates from the Northeast, and Duke Landilus leads his from the Southwest in a rushing attack.
The two forces sandwich the Empire’s formation, launching a fierce assault on them.
Over 700 strongest individuals of at least five ranks are fighting in the air and the loud noises continuously emerge from the sky above.
Su Yu glances upwards and sees the sky filled with dazzling lights of all sorts, forming a massive light pollution that obscures the battle condition.
Especially the zone where the seven-rank powerhouses are fighting, the light is extraordinarily blinding. A mere glance would sting your eyes considerably.
With the fight of these powerful individuals, the ground of Forest City keeps trembling, causing slight earthquakes.
Players in the city frantically cover their ears as they observe the ground to somewhat withstand the intense light and thunderous noises originating from above.
After a while, the fight gradually intensifies.
Every dozen seconds or so, a five-rank powerhouse would plunge from the sky and harshly crash onto the ground.
These are the fallen five-rank powerhouses.
Seeing this, the Empire’s NPCs of third and fourth ranks are like vultures that have spotted carrion. They rapidly pounce onto these fallen powerhouses. If they’re lucky, they can get lots of good stuff from their remains!
Players are also highly interested in these remains, but they can’t compete against the third and fourth-rank NPCs at gathering stuff due to their slow speeds.
However, there are players with ungodly luck as well.
A player named Shepherd in the Clouds from Mu Yun guild; a five-rank powerhouse’s corpse fell from the sky and just happened to land three meters in front of him!
Shepherd in the Clouds pounced on it, without thinking and eventually uncovered a mage occupation fourth-rank skill scroll—[Dragon Breath (Excellent)].
His fantastic luck caused a considerable stir in the guild’s channel with everyone expressing their envy for his outstanding fortune.
The guild leader, Shepherd in the Clouds also congratulated him, asking, “How about selling that scroll? I can offer a hundred thousand spiritual energy coins.”
The value of the spiritual energy coin wasn’t the same as before these days.
Ever since the National announced information about the Skuru people, the spiritual energy coin sharply appreciated. It went from one spiritual energy coin being able to exchange for three types of Flower Coins to one spiritual energy coin for twenty-five types of Flower Coins.
The hundred thousand spiritual energy coins offered by Shepherd in the Clouds could be swapped for 2.5 million Flower Coins!
Yet, Shepherd in the Clouds didn’t care about these coins in the slightest and quickly replied, “My apologies, Chief, but I won’t sell this scroll. I plan to give the scroll to the best-suited person.”
Then he carried the scroll to the Shadow Magic Circle where Su Yu was tasked with issuing player tasks and said, “Boss Ke, I wish to present this skill scroll to you!”
“A fourth-rank [Dragon Breath] skill scroll? That’s a great item!” Su Yu illuminated and suggested:
“However, since it’s an expensive object, why don’t I purchase it from you outright. How about a hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins?”
“No, no, I won’t accept a single coin!” argued Shepherd in the Clouds:
“If I were after cash, I would have sold the scroll to the chief a long time ago. The reason I want to give it to you is that in your hands it will display the maximum power! In short, I genuinely and sincerely wish to gift the scroll to you. I’m adamant, I won’t take any money!”
“Alright then.” Su Yu felt a warmth in his heart and accepted the scroll.
“If that is the case, let’s add each other as friends. If you come across any issues in the future, you can come and find me, and I’ll help as much as I can!” Su Yu suggested as he sent a friend request to Shepherd in the Clouds.
“That sounds great, Boss Ke!” Shepherd in Clouds hurriedly accepted the friend request, smiling brightly.
What’s more face-lift than a friend spot from Boss Ke is 150,000 spiritual energy coins!
The ongoing warfare of the finest powerhouses in the sky continues.
It’s still the same, every so often, there would be a powerhouse that falls.
When the fight carried on for about 20 minutes, the vanguard of the rebel’s 200,000 army arrived. The attack on the city began in haste.
This 200k army troops weren’t adequately equipped. Assault towers, city assault hammers, catapults and the like, their quantity was very scarce.
Their primary goal for attacking the city wasn’t really to bring down Forest City.
Their actual purpose was to guard their powerhouses that were engaged in warfare in the sky.
Namely in Forest City, other than the powerhouses of at least five ranks, there were plenty of archer formations of fourth-rank and lower by the Empire and wizard formations composed of wizards.
The arrows launched collectively by the archer formations and the magic spells cast out by the wizard formations can create substantial trouble for the rebels’ five-rank powerhouses in the sky.
So the 200k vanguard troops of the rebels attacked the city as a measure to draw the fire from the archer formations and the wizard formations, to cover their powerhouses in the sky.
Because of the enemy troops’ arrival, the subsequent 32-35 quest-line given by the princess, everything is a war mission.
Players received a series of transport logistics, scout enemies, build defensive infrastructures, and join in on the battlefield during the war missions, and they began to scurry around to fulfill them.
As for Su Yu, it was his job to issue these war missions to the players.
During his free time between issuing tasks, Su Yu logged offline to save in-game time; alternatively, he would rely on his experience to find some hidden tasks that yield big rewards within the city.
These tasks were assigned to the members of his guild, thus indirectly enhancing the overall strength of his guild.
The ongoing warfare within the sky persisted for exactly 24 hours.
Converted in game time, it felt like a continuous battle for twelve whole days.
During this period, a total of 159 five-rank powerhouses from both sides perished, fourteen six-rank powerhouses fell, no seven-rank powerhouse perished yet, but a handful of them were critically injured.
It’s worth noting that during these 24 hours, Xi Fan gathered a considerable number of [Frenzy Fragments] through the Shadow Magic Circle. It meets the requirements for advancing to the next rank, and there’s also a surplus quantity.
With the boost from this surplus fragments, the Empire’s powerhouses started having the upper hand during the fight, pushing the rebels back.
Xi Fan also severely guarded the Shadow Magic Circle and gradually expanded its scope.
At the end of it all, the magic circle could even hold up to a hundred thousand players at the same time.
A total of 1.4 million players went into the magic circle in these 24 hours.
With Su Yu receiving a commission of one percent, he obtained a total of 14,000 of all sorts of first-rank skill books.
Some of these skill books were sold to his guild members at a friendly price, while 13,000 of the remaining were given to the relevant departments to be allocated to players who displayed gaming talent but entered the game late.
After 24 hours of battle, Xi Fan’s advancement momentum was already unstoppable.
With enough fragments accumulated, he could maximize the use of his items. He was only one step away from breaking through to the eighth rank.
The rebels, on the other hand, were still at a disadvantage. They didn’t see any hope of turning the tables around, not to mention for stopping Xi Fan’s breakthrough.
Watching as Xi Fan’s momentum gradually increases, just as he was about to step into the rank of Divine powerhouses,
At this crucial moment, a female Holy Knight called Madeline finally stood up!
