Chapter 93： Battle of Big Timber Canyon

Chapter 93 Battle of Giant Wood Canyon

 After all the players received the mission, Su Yu led them towards the entrance of the palace.

 Arriving at the palace gate, Su Yu asked the players to wait here while he followed Kelderon into the palace alone.

"Kelderon, how are the preparations for Her Royal Highness's travel convoy?" Su Yu asked Kelderon on the way to the main hall.

Kelderon looked respectful: "Master Nemesis, the convoy is ready and will set off soon."

 “Yeah.” Su Yu nodded slightly and said no more.

 …

 A few minutes later, five luxuriously decorated carriages bearing royal emblems quickly drove out from the side entrance of the palace.

 Following the five carriages was a hundred-man imperial guard.

These five carriages, the first carriage leading the carriage was occupied by Foreign Secretary Hill who was in charge of negotiations;

 The second vehicle is occupied by the seventh-level dark priest Xifan;

 The third car in the middle is of course the royal princess's car;

 The two vehicles at the back contained sundries and supplies.

This time the princess traveled with a light carriage and made sure to leave quickly and return quickly, so her 100-man personal guard was also equipped with horses and seven days' rations of food and water.

Su Yu and the princess sat in the third carriage together.

 After the convoy left the palace, Su Yu posted a message in the chat room, asking the nine presidents to lead the players to follow.

 The presidents quickly informed the players present.

Everyone summoned their mounts one after another and followed the royal convoy.

 A small part of the players' mounts come from hidden missions in the Novice Village, and the rest are ordinary horses rented or purchased from stables in the city.

Moreover, everyone present is also a high-level player, and they all know the importance of mounts. They got one as soon as they entered the city. There is no one who does not have a mount.

The princess's motorcade led the way, followed by nearly a thousand players, and a group of people marched toward the north gate in a mighty manner.

Su Yu sat on the third carriage, face to face with the princess.

Of course the players also saw him and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion:

"You see, the nemesis boss is sitting on the carriage, having close contact with the princess Lolita. We can only follow behind from a distance. The princess Lolita doesn't even look at us!"

 “Well, who says it’s not?”

“Be content! According to the description of the scenario battle, we are ‘assisting the nemesis’. Maybe in the eyes of the NPC, we are just insignificant weeds brought by the nemesis.”

“Be more confident and leave out the word ‘maybe’, and we will become irrelevant weeds.”

“Don’t think about that, wait until you perform well in the scene battle. Maybe you will be noticed by the NPC present and given some hidden tasks.”

 The players were chatting and rushing in the back.

 At the same time, the princess was also chatting with Su Yu.

 “This group of adventurers you recruited are quite energetic.”

Princess Alijie turned back to look at the group of otherworldly adventurers behind her.

This group of adventurers are all at the top of the first level, with good equipment and impressive momentum. There are nearly a thousand people in total, and together they can be considered a considerable force.

"The nemesis must have spent a lot of money to recruit them, right? Now is a time of trouble, and it is rare to have such loyal ministers." The princess thought to herself.

“Ding! [Prince Alijie]’s favorability towards you is +1.”

After all, Su Yu had experienced a sudden increase in Tina's favorability by dozens or dozens of points, and this level of favorability could no longer make him feel uneasy.

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged and he said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, according to the revelation I got from the horoscope last night, Duke Lantilus's men will pretend to be bandits to attack your convoy."

　　"Lantilus? How dare he? Didn't he know that there was Master Xifan in my convoy?"

"What if they send someone to contain Xi Fan?" Su Yu looked into the eyes of the princess.

"this"

The princess' expression became serious: "Where will these rebels attack us?"

 “Giant Wood Canyon, Your Highness.”

 Twenty minutes after player time, Giant Wood Canyon. "Everyone, get ready! We have arrived at the Giant Wood Canyon." The snow leopard shouted loudly.

 At the same time in the chat room, the presidents are also making final arrangements.

Now the entire player team has formed a circular formation, with the tank class walking on the outermost edge of the team, and assassins and damage-dealing warriors mixed in among them.

 Archers and magicians stand on the outer layer, protecting the fragile healing profession in the innermost layer.

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was also very ambitious at this time. He said in the chat room: "This is the first battle for our players under the eyes of the NPC! We must perform well and not let the NPC look down upon us!"

Yunzhongmu Enemy: "NPC? It's just a bunch of data. If you take it seriously, you will lose."

Snow Leopard: "No, no, they are not just a bunch of data. You have to listen more, read more, and observe more, and then make conclusions."

Yunzhong Mu En: "Is this so?"

Yunzhongmu Enemy certainly knows what kind of organization Snow Leopard’s “relevant departments” are. After all, you can feel the iron-blooded military temperament when you get along with them. Anyone who is not a fool knows what they do.

Hearing what Snow Leopard said, the enemy in the cloud immediately believed 80% of it.

Is there any big secret hidden in this game?

While he was thinking, the Royal Princess's motorcade had already entered the giant wood canyon.

 Suddenly, there were killing sounds on the hillsides on both sides!

kill!

 Kill!

Countless regular troops disguised as bandits rushed down the slopes on both sides of the canyon.

At the same time, layers of range spells appeared in the sky above the convoy. If all these spells are allowed to be smashed down, the convoy will definitely be smashed to pieces in an instant.

Xifan was certainly prepared.

“[Shadow Canopy]!”

The dark purple staff in his hand waved lightly, and the sixth-level defensive spell [Shadow Canopy] was released!

The [Shadow Canopy] instantly expanded to a diameter of nearly a hundred meters, encompassing the entire convoy.

Those area-of-effect magic spells in the sky that fell on the [Shadow Canopy] were quickly offset, without even a single magic ripple being created.

 At this time.

 “Xi Fan, your opponent is me!”

A dazzling holy light flew down from the clouds and hit the mountain at the top of the canyon, smashing half of the mountain into pieces.

In the aftermath of the collision, a female paladin wearing golden armor raised her two-handed sword high and pointed at Sivan with the tip of the sword.

 “Haha, I thought it was you. It turned out to be you, Madeline!”

Xi Fan turned into a black shadow and flew towards Madeline. Two figures, one golden and one black, collided in the sky, releasing a series of deafening explosions.

 At the same time, players also acted quickly to protect the entire convoy in the middle.

 It is still the circular formation formed just now, with the tank profession outside and the long-range profession and treatment profession included.

 [Shadow Canopy] Although it can resist magical attacks, it cannot prevent physical intrusion.

 The "bandits" stepped into the shadow sky one after another and launched attacks on the players inside.

Hey!

 Tanks stepped forward one by one, using their solid bodies to withstand the bandits' impact.

Magicians and archers are under the command of each guild leader. Those who have AOE will smash AOE, and those who don't have AOE will focus their fire to kill the bandits.

The healing profession also raised its staff, and beams of healing light shot out, scattering on the injured players in the front row.

The strength of the bandits is not high either. Ordinary bandits are only about level 10-20, and they are quickly killed by the focused fire attacks of the players.

 There are also bandits above level 30 or even level 50. After killing a group of players instantly, they rush into the heart of the lineup and fight with the royal guards.

 The player who was killed waits patiently for one minute, then immediately resurrects next to Su Yu and joins the battle again.

With the cooperation of the players and the instructions issued at different levels after communication through the president’s chat room, nearly a thousand players were well organized and easily resisted the bandits’ offensive.
