Chapter 207: The Battle of Apshi (Part 2)
Chapter 207: The Battle of Apshi (Part 2)
Seeing Su Yu’s actions, Tina, hovering in the sky, caught on immediately.
She took out the gemstone ring given to her by Evan Ginkgo and shouted to the Lunar Town army, “This is the ring bestowed upon me by the Empire’s Guardian, Lord Evan Ginkgo. I can guarantee, by the honor of the Unicorn Knights, that everything Kexing said is true. And I will ensure he fulfills his promises.”
Hearing the two of them, the Lunar Town soldiers exchanged glances, their battle spirit suddenly dampened.
Taking advantage of the moment, Su Yu added, “The benefits of the relocation fee aren’t just for the dock workers; they apply to all of you here!
If any of you want to relocate to my territory, my lands will welcome you with open arms. I will provide each family with 80,000 Psychic Coins as a relocation fee. Second-tier experts will receive double, and third-tier experts will receive five times that amount. I swear I won’t go back on my word!”
“80,000 Psychic Coins?!” A wave of excitement rippled through the Lunar Town army.
The soldiers of Lunar Town earned a bit more than the dock workers, but not by much, with monthly salaries ranging from 800 to 1,000 Psychic Coins.
80,000 Psychic Coins was equivalent to seven years of their combined salaries! And being a “soldier” was a high-risk profession; one could be alive and well today and dead tomorrow. No one dared to think about eight years down the line.
So, hearing Su Yu’s promise, many soldiers began to consider their options: “Should I try to relocate to this city?”
“80,000 Psychic Coins is a lot! I have to figure out a way to get it.”
“During the attack, should I hold back? If Lord Kexing sees me fighting fiercely and killing many, will he reject my relocation request?”
“After the attack starts, should I find a place to pretend I’m dead?”
With these thoughts in mind, the soldiers’ morale and battle spirit inevitably plummeted.
...
In the live streams across various platforms, the chat rooms exploded with comments:
“Kexing is at it again, burning through money!”
“If I were one of those soldiers, I might be swayed by this!”
“Kexing’s spending is truly ruthless. 80,000 Psychic Coins per person, and if all 2,000 of them relocate, that’s 160 million Psychic Coins!”
“You think Kexing is dumb? He’ll add relocation restrictions; he won’t let everyone move.”
“And the relocation fee might be paid in installments, like 1,000 Psychic Coins a month for eight years. Kexing didn’t say it would be a lump sum. The game might be over by then.”
“But regardless, Baron Razor must be stunned. How did he end up facing such a wealthy and reckless opponent?”
As the netizens speculated, in the game, Baron Philip’s face turned grim.
Su Yu’s words had drastically lowered the morale and battle spirit of his army, and he had no effective countermeasures.
Burn through more money than Su Yu?
No, no, he couldn’t afford it. He didn’t have that many Psychic Coins.
What should he do? Baron Philip was at a loss.
But he also knew he couldn’t wait any longer. He needed to strike while the army’s battle spirit hadn’t bottomed out.
So he issued the order to his adjutant, “Sound the drums and horns, full army advance!”
“Understood!” The adjutant immediately relayed the command.
The attack order quickly spread through the entire army.
The Lunar Town soldiers mechanically picked up their weapons and moved forward with heavy steps, preparing to assault the city.
In the rear ranks, catapults were assembled and aimed at Apshi’s walls, launching massive boulders. At the front, siege rams were pushed forward by the soldiers, slowly approaching Apshi’s gates.
However, due to Su Yu’s promise of “80,000 Psychic Coins,” almost every soldier’s movements were noticeably sluggish, their actions half-hearted, and their earlier sharpness completely gone.
……
Before the arrival of Earl Philip, he was already accompanied by four bodyguards.
After the battle began, Earl Philip turned to the four bodyguards and said, "It's your turn now. Capture Tina Garcia, and there will be a great reward from above!"
"Of course, my lord." The four bodyguards replied in unison.
Then, the four bodyguards tore off their disguises, revealing advanced armor and mage robes beneath.
They leaped from their horses, and the four powerful figures soared into the sky.
These four were all Fifth-Rank powerhouses! Combined with the Fifth-Rank fire mage from earlier, Tina now found herself surrounded by five opponents of the same rank, making the situation extremely dangerous.
"Captain, be careful!" A graceful silver figure quickly flew over from near the city wall, brandishing a noble's short sword and taking a defensive stance beside Tina. It was Fiona, who had come with Tina.
Tina nodded at Fiona and solemnly assessed the five approaching powerhouses.
Among the five, there were two mages, two warriors, and one archer. With just her and Fiona, they were likely no match for these foes.
"Kesing, catch this!" Tina activated her "Tina Garcia's Blessing" skill, and a pale golden halo flew from her hand and enveloped Su Yu.
With the halo's blessing, Su Yu quickly reached Tina's level, becoming a temporary Fifth-Rank powerhouse.
"Fiona, you and Kesing each take one. The rest are mine!" Tina looked at the five enemies in front of her, her fighting spirit ignited.
As a prodigy, Tina had never faced three opponents at once, but today her wish was granted. "Watch as I cut you down with my sword!"
Tina's longsword erupted with a brilliant golden light as she charged toward the five powerhouses, as if she were the one surrounding them rather than the other way around.
The five Fifth-Rank powerhouses exchanged glances, and the two mages began chanting spells to prepare their magic.
The archer raised his longbow, aiming at the recently airborne Su Yu, ready to take him out with a single, powerful shot.
But Su Yu wore an unconcerned expression, his lips curling into a dismissive smile.
"What are you smiling about?" Seeing Su Yu's smile, Earl Philip suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You sent five Fifth-Rank powerhouses to overwhelm us with numbers, right? Well, we have the same idea!"
Su Yu smiled again and opened a private chat with Winged Dragon: "Have Kathy bring five Fifth-Rank powerhouses over here."
"Got it!" Winged Dragon replied.
Winged Dragon was not in Auphi City but in the Scholar's Sanctuary of Jinquehua City.
Receiving Su Yu's message, she quickly turned to Kathy and the head of the Scholar's Sanctuary, Haimlek. "Kathy, Lord Haimlek, Kesing needs five Fifth-Rank powerhouses for support!"
"Understood!" Kathy said crisply.
Over the past nine days, Kathy and her father, Mork, had frequently practiced in various wild areas, and they gained a large amount of experience points during the bandit invasion. Kathy was now at level 54, a genuine Third-Rank mage.
Hearing Winged Dragon's words, Kathy wasted no time and began casting "Teleportation Gateway."
Hum—
With a faint hum, a deep blue teleportation gateway appeared before her, and a pale blue magical light filled the entire room.
