Chapter 393: 392, Return to Game_1

Watching as Tina gradually vanished, Su Yu fell into deep thought.

Tina could come to the real world because she possessed the [Divine Bloodline], and this bloodline originated from her ancestor, Bernina Tide.

Does that mean the descendants of the Tide family can all enter the real world?

And what about the other NPCs in the game? How can they enter the real world? Do they also have to be baptized by Tina’s blood like Nemesis was?

This would have to be answered within the game.

“Forget it, let’s log in first. We’ll cross the bridge when we get to it.”

Stretching out on the sofa, Su Yu positioned the helmet on his head and found a comfortable position before entering the game.

…

Upon entering the game, Su Yu found himself standing amidst a charred ruin.

There were collapsed walls all around, punctuated by distant sounds of clashing swords, people screaming in pain, and even the occasional roar of naval gunfire.

Glancing around and recalling the last thing he did before logging out, Su Yu realized he was in Grantex’s mansion in Haiyan City.

After all, the last thing he did before logging out was explode and kill the traitor Grantex.

Just after logging in, Su Yu’s [Friend List] began to ring with a series of “beeps”. Online friends were sending him private messages.

Red-Eyed Black Dragon: “Boss Ke, I saw your video from last night, and you were so amazing! ✺(^O^)✺ I’m completely in awe!”

Su Yu simply replied with a smiley face.

Next was Swift: “Welcome back, leader! After the video of you on Skru Star went out, our territory became a lively place! The players in the city are still celebrating!”

Su Yu replied: “[Laughing emoji] Celebrations are fine, but also urge everyone to level up and gather equipment. Increase strength, and don’t waste time on meaningless things.”

Swift: “In reality, everyone is not wasting time. The monster siege for the territory upgrade to [Intermediate City] is about to start, and everyone is celebrating in their spare time waiting for the monsters to arrive, it isn’t waste of time.”

Su Yu: “Oh? Upgrade today? How is the preparation work? ”

Swift: “Of course, after thoroughly considering, we decided to upgrade when everything was ready. The main force of this siege is the [Scholar’s Temple]. The three High-Ranking officials of the Sanctuary, along with their subordinates, will join the battle, surely we will succeed!”

Su Yu: “Hmm… Private chat is too troublesome, let’s talk after I get back to the territory.”

Swift: “Ok.”

…

Apart from Red-Eyed Black Dragon and Swift, Sky Dragon also sent a private message.

Sky Dragon: “Nemesis, you’re finally back! (＾▽＾)”

Sky Dragon: “….”

Sky Dragon: “Why are you ignoring me? (;へ:)”

Sky Dragon: “If you keep ignoring me, I’ll get angry! (;｀O´)o”

Su Yu: “[Sweat emoji] Sky Dragon, why have you started to send emojis like Red-Eyed Black Dragon? I was just discussing territory advancement matters with Swift.”

Sky Dragon: “Territory? I’m in your territory preparing for the monster siege!”

Sky Dragon: “Oh, I forgot to tell you. After the territory upgrade, you can build 3 more ‘Mage Tower’ buildings, right? I submitted an application to the department and successfully got one spot. This way, I can also upgrade by burning materials like you!”

Su Yu: “Oh? [Surprised emoji] That’s great! Congratulations!”

All three spots for territory upgrading were purchased at a high price by the department. It’s surprising that Sky Dragon got one too!

But then again, it made sense.

After taking the Root potion, Sky Dragon had already become the top player, so her obtaining a spot was a matter of course.

…..

After a brief chat with Sky Dragon, Su Yu closed the private messaging interface, preparing to teleport back to his territory.

However, his attention was arrested by distant cries and sounds of combat.

Tiptoeing to rise up into the air, Su Yu spotted a fierce battle underway in Haiyan City.

There were three forces engaged in the slaughter.

On the eastern side of the city, the golden flags represented the armies of the Goldfinch Empire; on the southwest, the blue banners marked the soldiers of the Lai Yin Empire; on the northwest, the green flags symbolized the Wind Chime Empire.

The three mighty imperial armies were engaged in brutal combat on the streets and alleys of Haiyan City – so intense, they were locked in a stalemate.

Fires roared from the cannons mounted on numerous giant warships at a distance out at sea, bombarding the shore’s defensive positions.

Up above in the sky, two or three dozen high-ranking fighters were engaged in a very evenly matched battle.

“What’s the date today?” Su Yu opened the in-game official forum to check the time.

The official forum showed the date as September 9.

The second expansion pack wouldn’t end until September 30, which meant that the second expansion pack was only halfway through.

No wonder the three major Empires are still fighting.

But when Su Yu left the game, Haiyan City was controlled by the Lai Yin and Wind Chime Empires. Now, all three sides were waging major battles here, which meant that the Goldfinch had achieved considerable success during the time Su Yu was away!

“Since I’m passing by, I might as well send you all a gift!”

Su Yu flew rapidly towards the front line, intending to kill a group of enemies to relieve the pressure on his own side and earn some battle merits on the way.

…

The fiercely battling players and NPC armies below were unaware of Su Yu’s arrival.

They were presently coordinating to counter the enemy’s attack.

The commander-in-chief for the Goldfinch players in this battle was the leader of the Mu Yun guild, Shepherd in the Clouds.

At this point, he applied [Invisibility Skill] and stood at the pinnacle of the church’s spire, surveying the state of the war while issuing commands to the player troops below:

“Team 13, you must block the street at the coordinates (2234, 5489). Don’t let the enemy break through!”

“Team 18, go and support Team 23.”

“Everyone, be careful! Wind Chime’s [Swift Scout Timo] has started setting up his mushroom array again, so avoid fighting in areas dense with mushrooms against the enemy…”

The battle orders were passed down through various chat rooms.

Every 100 players formed a battle team, with a total of 133 teams participating in this battle.

Of course, a single person’s energy is limited, so Shepherd in the Clouds was primarily directing Teams 1-20. Other teams had other commanders, but the overall decision-making for the battle was up to him.

Just then, he suddenly felt an intense wave of magical fluctuation coming from above.

Looking up, Shepherd in the Clouds saw a female mage in lake-blue mage robes appear in the southwestern sky. Her hair was alternately white and golden, and her visage was incredibly beautiful!

This female mage had already begun casting a spell, and a giant, bright blue teleportation gate, over 20 meters high, quickly took shape in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Shepherd in the Clouds’ pupils dilated intensely!

They had seen this scene a few days ago. That female mage had caused devastating damage on the Goldfinch troops in the previous battle. He didn’t expect history to repeat itself today!

“Everyone, scatter quickly! That’s the Lai Yin Empire’s [Jaina] launching her ultimate attack: [Summon Marine Sovereign]! If you have life-saving skills, activate them now. If you don’t, find a safe hiding place immediately so that you aren’t instantly killed by a wave of magic barrage!”

As Shepherd in the Clouds issued the order in the chat room, he simultaneously leaped off the top of the church spire.

Jaina’s ultimate move could cover nearly half of the city. The church where he was standing was within its range. Continuing to stand on the spire meant certain death, so his only option was to leap off to save himself.
