Chapter 273: What if Tina Accidentally Gilds Herself? (Make-Up for Yesterday's Update)
The rebel front line crumbled, and Duke Randylus issued the order to retreat. The first half of the final battle ended with a victory for the Empire.
High-ranking rebels in the sky received the retreat order and withdrew one by one, bringing the conflict to a temporary halt.
It's worth noting that players on the Empire's side who completed the final mission related to "guns" and "cannons" reaped significant benefits. During the subsequent pursuit, they earned a massive amount of battle points, some even more than they had accumulated in the past!
The Empire's players pursued the rebels until the remnants entered their main camp, at which point they ceased the chase and returned to the city.
The battlefield, which had been noisy for over a month, finally returned to a peaceful state.
As for Su Yu's main storyline:
In the first five stages of the ten-stage mission, Su Yu played the role of a logistics minister, responsible for coordinating and managing the distribution of military supplies.
The challenge in these stages was the lack of cooperation from various parties, who often obstructed and delayed the process.
However, all officials and military officers knew of Su Yu's special relationship with the princess and Tina. No one dared to refuse his requests, delay, or cause him any trouble.
With the full cooperation of these officials, Su Yu easily completed the first five stages.
After completing the five stages of supply coordination, the next five stages involved capturing spies and assassins in the city.
The spies sent by the two dukes were elusive, gathering intelligence throughout the city. The assassins they dispatched hid in the shadows, continuously targeting the families and relatives of high-ranking officials and generals.
To catch the spies and assassins, Su Yu had a brilliant idea—leverage the power of the people!
As mentioned earlier, the number of players in the Aurian region was in the millions, each one acting like a "mobile camera." Even the darkest and most secluded alleys of the city could not hide from their eyes.
Su Yu set up a reward system, offering 3000 Psychic Coins for each valid piece of information about spies or assassins.
Enticed by the high rewards, the players quickly sprang into action.
With the help of a large number of players, Su Yu easily captured most of the spies and assassins, completing the next five stages.
The mission successfully transitioned to the 70th stage.
...
After completing the mission, Su Yu didn't rush to turn it in. Instead, he went up to the city wall to assess the current situation.
A quick scan revealed that the rebel forces had been driven back to their main camp, and the high-ranking rebels in the sky were also retreating.
The Empire's high-ranking officials breathed a sigh of relief. Some returned to the palace to report to the princess, others went back to their residences to heal, and a few remained on the city wall to rest.
Tina was among the latter group.
She hadn't rested for a single moment during the entire month. After all, she was the "turnip" of the operation—her rest would mean the end of everyone's defense. She had to remain vigilant against attacks from high-ranking rebels and use her mental powers to command the troops below.
Even with her "divine blood," the intense month-long battle had left her exhausted.
She stood on the city wall, leaning against the rough bricks, feeling dizzy.
Su Yu, of course, knew how tired Tina was. He quickly approached her, "Tina, are you okay?"
"Counter," Tina's face lit up with a happy smile when she saw Su Yu. "I'm very tired, but at least the war has temporarily ended."
Su Yu stepped forward and supported Tina, "Tina, I know you're exhausted. Let me take you back to your home to rest?"
"Alright," Tina said softly, stepping toward the staircase leading up to the city wall.
But as she took her first step, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and nearly stumbled to the ground.
Su Yu, quick on his feet, bent down and scooped her up in a princess carry, heading toward the stairs.
Noticing the princess carry and the crowd of people watching, Tina's face immediately flushed bright red.
However, she made no attempt to struggle free. Instead, she relaxed her body, shyly resting her head on Su Yu's shoulder.
The surrounding players, witnessing the scene, began to tease:
"Ooh, Commander Ke! Be mindful of the audience here!"
"Commander Ke, if you carry Tina like that, won't the princess get jealous? She's so scary!"
"Damn! I just finished the battle and now I'm being force-fed a ton of dog food!"
...
The little sky dragon girl, perched on a nearby battlement with her legs crossed, was nibbling on an apple to regain her strength.
Seeing Su Yu carry Tina, she spat the apple out onto the ground and turned away, muttering, "Pfft, men!"
But then she thought about something—Tina Garcia's blood could be used to gild objects, and Tina had a lot of this blood. What if one day she used it to gild herself and somehow ended up in the real world?
The more the sky dragon thought about it, the more she believed it could happen. If Tina entered the real world, she would lose her advantage. Tina was about to turn 18, while she was only 14, and Commander Ke would likely be deterred by the age gap.
The sky dragon secretly glanced at Su Yu's figure and made a silent decision in her heart:
"No, this can't go on! I need to find Commander Ke's real-world address and move in with him. That way, I can prevent Tina from sneaking in. Yes, that's what I'll do!"
Su Yu, meanwhile, was oblivious to the sky dragon's small figure. His attention was entirely focused on the immense weight he was carrying.
The moment he picked up Tina, his mind was consumed by one word—heavy! She was damn heavy!
After advancing to the Saint Domain, Tina had donned a set of Saint Domain-level armor, which weighed a staggering 1,300 kilograms!
When Su Yu lifted her, it felt like he was carrying a small tank, and his legs trembled under the strain.
Even as a fourth-stage mage, Su Yu found this weight almost unbearable. The city bricks beneath his feet creaked and groaned, and if they weren't enchanted, they would have crumbled under the pressure.
But seeing Tina's contented expression and not wanting to lose face in front of everyone, he gritted his teeth and carried her down the city wall.
His entire focus was on battling the near-limit weight, leaving no room to notice the sky dragon.
Tina, however, was quick-witted.
She noticed Su Yu's pale face and slightly trembling arms and quickly understood the problem.
She quietly removed her wrist guards, gloves, and shoulder guards, storing them in her spatial ring to lighten the load. She then channeled her rage to levitate herself slightly.
With these adjustments, Su Yu managed to carry Tina down to the base of the city wall without being overwhelmed by the weight.
