Chapter 235: The Little Girl Infiltrates the Enemy's Upper Ranks
Chapter 235: The Little Girl Infiltrates the Enemy's Upper Ranks
The four large-scale battles have brought immense rewards to the players. Each battle can accommodate up to ten thousand players simultaneously. Due to the pressure from the Skrull aliens outside the game, almost no one in the ten thousand players slacked off during the battles. Everyone did their best to complete the missions.
Thanks to Su Yu's overall control of the battles, Snow Leopard's battlefield command, and intelligence gathering, the first three large-scale battles received an "S" rating, and the last one even achieved an "SS" rating! An "S" rating increases the battle rewards by 30%, while an "SS" rating boosts them by 40% and grants an additional rare-quality piece of equipment.
All the players who participated in the battles returned with full rewards. Some players, however, had bad luck and couldn't secure a spot in the large-scale battles. These players remained active in Oran City, continuously uncovering various hidden quests from NPCs.
Tina's main storyline triggered a surge in side quests and hidden quests in Oran City. Even walking down the street, one might trigger a hidden quest if they were lucky! This ensured that players visiting Oran City all left with rich rewards, making their trip worthwhile.
Some players even discovered hidden quests involving the antagonists, such as the Oran City Lord's Mansion, the Windsor Family, and other major forces within the city. These players actively provided Su Yu with intelligence, giving him valuable insights into the enemy's movements.
As Tina's successful campaigns against the bandits continued to bring good news back to Oran City, the entire city was thoroughly electrified! Who benefited the most from the bandits' clearance? Undoubtedly, it was the ordinary citizens of Oran City.
The bandits didn't just hide in the deep mountains; they often descended to attack small villages, plundering food and people. Many merchants on the trade routes to other cities were ruined by the bandits' raids. Because of the bandits, the citizens of Oran City dared not travel to other cities for tourism or visits.
Everyone suffered greatly.
The task of clearing the bandits should have been carried out by the City Lord's Mansion and the major lords. However, the bandits would often offer 50-70% of their loot to the City Lord and the lords. With these benefits, the City Lord and the lords turned a blind eye, leaving the common people to suffer.
So, when Tina's victories against the bandits continued to be reported back to Oran City, the ordinary citizens rejoiced. They spontaneously organized grand parades to celebrate the victories, as if it were a festival!
...
In the 40th part of the main storyline, Tina, having triumphed against the bandits, led her forces back to Oran City. On the wide Robin Avenue at the entrance of Oran City, Tina rode a unicorn at the front of the procession. Behind her marched the powerful unicorn knights, followed by the carriages holding the captured bandit leaders.
Today, Oran City was bustling with crowds. On Robin Avenue, Tina led the procession, riding her unicorn. Behind her, the unicorn knights marched in full armor, and the carriages carrying the captured bandit leaders followed.
The city was filled with excitement. As the vicious bandits were hanged one by one, the cheers from the crowd were deafening! People shouted Tina's name with wild enthusiasm.
Tina's status in the hearts of the people soared, and for a time, she was the most prominent figure.
Meanwhile, in the Oran City Lord's Mansion, in a large conference room, City Lord Claude Strayf sat at the head of the table, sipping a cup of tea with a serious expression. Four high-ranking advisors sat at his side, and behind them, a player was also present.
This player, of course, was not Su Yu. Su Yu and the mayor of Oran City were on opposing sides, so it was impossible for him to be here.
However, Su Yu was very familiar with this player, as she was none other than the Sky Dragon Girl!
The Sky Dragon Girl had incredibly good luck.
Five days ago, while rushing through the streets of Oran City, an NPC auntie suddenly stopped her and handed her an epic hidden quest.
Considering the "epic" nature of the quest, the Sky Dragon Girl decided to give it a try.
To her surprise, this hidden quest was surprisingly simple!
The hidden quest had 20 stages, and in the final stage, she saved the life of a girl named Flandre Strev.
Coincidentally, this girl was the mayor Claude's second daughter.
Thanks to this connection, she unknowingly worked her way into the upper echelons of the mayor's mansion and earned the right to participate in this important meeting.
Moreover, Mayor Claude trusted her immensely.
Over the past few days, Claude had assigned the Sky Dragon Girl to gather intelligence related to Tina Garcia.
The Sky Dragon Girl performed exceptionally well, quickly bringing back a lot of accurate information, far surpassing the capabilities of his incompetent intelligence department.
As a result, she was soon officially appointed as Claude's head of intelligence, responsible for gathering information related to Tina.
...
Mayor Claude took a sip of tea, set down his cup, and looked at the Sky Dragon Girl. "Adventurer, has Tina Garcia already entered the city?"
The other four advisors turned to look at her as well.
The Sky Dragon Girl, resting her chin on her right hand, said lazily, "Yes, Tina Garcia has arrived at the city center square with her knightly order. They are currently executing the captured bandit leaders... um, they've already killed four, and there are five left."
Mayor Claude was not bothered by the Sky Dragon Girl's lazy attitude.
He picked up his teacup and took another sip, then scanned the advisors. "Gentlemen, should we take this opportunity to eliminate Tina?"
Tina's advancement made Claude increasingly uneasy, and her actions were becoming more and more threatening.
Rather than wait for Tina to become even more powerful, it would be better to seize this opportunity and join forces with all the noble forces in the city to eliminate her. When the princess arrives later, she won't hold a grudge against him for a dead person.
However, killing Tina would come with significant risks, so he was still hesitant.
The advisors looked at each other, all wearing troubled expressions.
After exchanging glances, the lead advisor mustered his courage and stood up. "My lord, I don't think now is the best time. We haven't fully assessed the strength of the Unicorn Knights, and Tina Garcia's current capabilities are still unknown."
Another advisor added, "That's right, my lord. Tina Garcia's influence is at its peak right now. Acting rashly might cause unrest in Oran City and jeopardize your rule."
"Moreover, the princess will arrive soon. We should maintain stability and avoid taking significant risks at this critical juncture," the remaining advisors chimed in.
Claude was already hesitant, and the advisors' words only made him more indecisive.
After a few minutes of contemplation, he sighed softly. "Alright, let's hold off for now."
Claude stood up, preparing to leave the meeting room.
But before he walked out, he turned to the Sky Dragon Girl. "Adventurer, continue to gather intelligence on Tina Garcia. The reward we agreed upon can be claimed from my daughter, Flandre."
"Thank you, my lord!" the Sky Dragon Girl replied lazily.
