Chapter 281: The Final Battle of Aurelian City (Part 4) - Earning 200,000 Military Merits
Chapter 281: The Final Battle of Aurelian City (Part 4) - Earning 200,000 Military Merits
Su Yu's game log flooded the screen once again:
- "Ding, you have successfully killed a [Kaltor Legion Mage (Rank 3)] and earned 1,000 Military Merits."
- "Ding, you have successfully killed a [Kaltor Legion Mage (Rank 4)] and earned 10,000 Military Merits."
- "Ding, you have successfully killed a [Kaltor Legion Mage (Rank 2)] and earned 100 Military Merits."
- "Ding, you have successfully killed..."
The rules for calculating Military Merits in this battle were as follows:
- Killing a regular player earns 1 Military Merit.
- Killing a player who is a non-commissioned officer or a regular Rank 1 NPC earns 10 Military Merits.
- Killing a Rank 2 NPC earns 100 Military Merits, a Rank 3 NPC earns 1,000 Military Merits, and so on.
Su Yu's [Falling Stars] spell had a broader coverage and higher damage compared to [Dragon Breath], even taking down Rank 4 mages with the meteor impacts.
A single wave of meteors brought Su Yu a staggering 186,000 Military Merits! It was impossible to count how many had been killed.
"186,000? Not bad at all!" Su Yu nodded in satisfaction as he reviewed his game log.
Earlier, he had completed the main quest, which rewarded him with 21,000 Military Merits.
In the game, players could check the "Military Merit Rankings" at the quartermaster. His 21,000 Military Merits had placed him sixth, with the top-ranked player, Snow Leopard, having 36,000 Military Merits.
This time, the [Falling Stars] spell alone earned him 186,000 Military Merits, more than five times the reward from the main quest! It also propelled him to the top of the rankings, far surpassing Snow Leopard. The combined Military Merits of the second to tenth-ranked players might not even match his total!
However, Su Yu didn't dare linger in one spot for too long.
After casting [Falling Stars], he immediately used [Invisibility] to vanish into thin air and moved toward the perimeter of the battered mage corps.
But the enemy archer formations were not to be underestimated.
Shortly after Su Yu went invisible, over a dozen enhanced [Flare] spells detonated above his head, illuminating his silhouette.
Immediately, a barrage of arrows rained down on him.
This time, Su Yu was in a tight spot.
To survive the onslaught, he first used the [Ice Barrier] enchanted on his magic robe to mitigate damage, followed by [Zhonya's Hourglass] to avoid further harm.
But these two survival skills could only buy him a bit more time.
Once he exhausted his survival skills, he was pierced by countless arrows, his health bar draining to zero as he was logged out for a cooldown.
"Ah, if only I had a [Holy Shield] skill like a Paladin. [Holy Shield] + [Hearthstone] would have saved me. Mages don't have such abilities... But this was definitely worth it. 180,000 Military Merits, not a bad deal!" This was Su Yu's last thought before he vanished in a burst of white light.
Everything Su Yu did was witnessed by all.
The players on the city walls watched Su Yu's performance with wide eyes.
When they saw Su Yu "finally" die, they couldn't help but discuss it with their companions:
- "Wow, this guy is really something! He's turning the Kaltor Mage Corps into Swiss cheese!"
- "My God, how many Military Merits did he earn from that?"
- "For some reason, I suddenly feel sorry for the Skrulls."
- "I feel sorry for them too. And they'll have to face the fully powered-up guy in ten and a half months."
- "Tsk, good luck to them."
...
On the tower, Snow Leopard, watching Su Yu's performance, couldn't help but say to Old Meng, "Krystar is really getting stronger!"
Old Meng nodded. "Indeed, he's very powerful. But he's also benefiting from the buffs given by Krystar's wife. His current strength is amplified."
”
"But don't forget, Kexing has a mage tower," Snow Leopard Leopard chuckled. "At his current pace, he'll reach the Sixth Rank in a month, achieving the kind of power we're all aiming for."
Old Meng nodded in agreement. "That's true. The gap between Kexing and us is only getting wider. Looks like we need to step up our game!"
Snow Leopard also nodded. "Absolutely! Defeating the Skrulls is a matter for all of humanity. I'm planning to post a bounty soon: if any player finds an item similar to the Jade Dragon Statue within the game, we'll reward them with ten billion Psychic Coins."
Meanwhile, the subject of their discussion, Su Yu, had already logged out of the game.
The rules for dying in a campaign are different from dying in the wild. Dying in a campaign doesn't cost game time, but players are forced to log out for half an hour.
Su Yu didn't mind; the campaign wouldn't be over in half an hour, so he could log back in afterward.
He removed his helmet, stood up from the sofa, and stretched his body.
His room had been destroyed by the overflow of energy from his rapid cultivation a while back. Now, it was mostly restored, thanks to the new furniture and appliances sent by the authorities, making his room neat and orderly once again.
After a quick stretch, he sat down at his computer and logged into the live streaming platform to watch the ongoing campaign.
The country was in a state of emergency, and the live streaming platform was almost exclusively dedicated to streams of the game "Evolution."
The most popular streams on the homepage were all about the final battle in Oran City.
Su Yu casually opened one of them and started watching.
The high-rank battles above Oran City were still ongoing.
To avoid harming civilians below, Alyssa and Turalyon had moved their battlefield beyond the atmosphere. The Sixth Rank battles were taking place in the stratosphere, so they were out of sight in these streams.
The only thing visible in the live streams was the Fifth Rank battles taking place below the cloud layer.
After a while, Su Yu found it boring and switched to another stream.
This stream was from the perspective of a rebel player, showing the rebel NPC forces.
The rebel mage corps had suffered heavy losses, but the war continued. They were regrouping and preparing to continue the siege.
Su Yu rested his chin on his left hand and kept switching between streams, watching different scenes.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to use the 207,000 military credits he had earned. Should he exchange everything available from the quartermaster? Or perhaps he could even trade for the quartermaster himself?
Before he knew it, 25 minutes had passed.
According to the chat in the streams, 114 high-rank fighters had fallen in the sky, and the brutal siege below had resulted in countless casualties.
Cannons and rifles were shining in this siege, causing massive casualties among the enemy when used by players and regular military forces.
Just as Su Yu was about to close his computer and log back in, the scene on the screen suddenly changed!
The high-rank fighters in the sky quickly stopped fighting and regrouped into two camps.
At the same time, from the eastern sky, a dozen high-rank fighters were rapidly flying toward them.
