Chapter 308: The Great Purge Begins (Catch-Up)
Chapter 308: The Great Purge Begins (Catch-Up)
The moment Zachary was killed, all the high-ranking experts in Seaside City sensed the disturbance at Sea Serpent Castle.
Soon, dozens of figures, each glowing with various colors, swiftly ascended into the sky. A massive amount of mental energy probed toward Cecilia, converging around her as if it were a tangible force.
There were 83 high-ranking experts in total, led by Moseby Gessang, the patriarch of the Gessang family.
Moseby was a seasoned seventh-tier Legendary powerhouse and one of the guardians of the Hilles Federation. He was a Mage, resembling Antonidas with his long beard that reached his waist and a staff taller than himself.
At this moment, the tip of his staff was gathering a substantial amount of ice elements, ready to unleash a powerful spell. He glared coldly at Cecilia, "Cecilia Nightblade, why did you invade our territory at night and capture our head of state?"
"Humph, take a look at this!"
Cecilia pulled out a magical image stone from her spatial ring and projected the letter she had just seized, displaying it beneath the clouds.
Seeing Cecilia about to reveal the letter to the public, Derrick began to struggle violently.
"Such a nuisance!" Cecilia raised her dagger and struck the hilt against Derrick's head with a thud. Derrick immediately fell unconscious.
The high-ranking experts of Seaside City exchanged glances, looking down at the letter's projection below the clouds.
Once they confirmed it was Derrick's handwriting and read the content, their auras dimmed, and they fell silent.
Derrick's actions were a blatant betrayal of the mother country.
Now that the mother country's experts had exposed his treachery, they were left with no justification.
...
Cecilia had known she would be exposed the moment she killed Zachary.
So, at that time, she used the Assassin's special skill, "Secret Communication," to send a message to Su Yu.
Now, Su Yu's figure, along with those of two other seventh-tier and 23 sixth-tier experts, appeared on the horizon.
Sensing the arrival of so many experts, the faces of Seaside City's high-ranking experts changed drastically.
So many powerful figures had arrived without them noticing a thing! This was a serious matter!
Moseby Gessang's expression turned grave as he looked at the experts from the Goldenflower, his mind churning with tumultuous thoughts while also preparing to flee.
The enemy had brought three seventh-tier experts! How could he possibly fight three at once?
However, he still managed to ask, "Lord Roland, Lady Cecilia, Lord Vanslow, what brings you to our federation?"
Roland and the others did not answer him but instead looked behind them.
In the center of the main force, a young man was using the "Flight" spell to keep up with the group (a "Flight" spell Roland had cast on him).
Noticing Roland's gaze, the young man slowed to a stop in mid-air and spoke solemnly to Moseby Gessang, "Greetings, Lord Moseby. I am the interdimensional adventurer known as Kesheng, and I am also the special envoy of Princess Eliza Goldenflower."
"You are Kesheng?" Moseby Gessang was slightly taken aback.
He had heard Kesheng's name several times before, knowing that the decisive victory in the final battle of Aurelian City was almost entirely due to Su Yu summoning Bernina.
He changed the Goldenflower.
He never thought he would see the real person today!
"Lord Moseby," Su Yu gave a Mage's salute, "For the past 30 years, your country has allied with the Cattler rebels and has not paid a single psychic coin in tribute to the royal family. Princess Eliza is very displeased."
"Now, Her Highness the Princess has ordered us to recover the Empire's losses. I trust you see the reason in this?"
Su Yu finished speaking and waved his hand casually.
A massive teleportation magic array lit up in the center of the largest square in Sea Rock City.
Antonidas led ten thousand players through the teleportation array, arriving from the outskirts of Salt Town.
Once the light from the teleportation faded, Su Yu addressed the players below in a loud voice, "Everyone, follow the plan and search the castles, manors, and estates of the major families within the city. Take anything of value, and if you encounter any resistance, call for the nearest Saint Realm expert to assist you."
"Understood, Commander Ke."
"Got it, Commander Ke."
"Copy that, Commander Ke."
The players responded in unison.
The 23 Saint Realm experts accompanying Su Yu immediately dispersed according to the plan, hovering over the entire city, keeping a watchful eye on any movements below.
Seeing Su Yu and his group's actions, the high-ranking experts of Sea Rock City immediately understood what was happening.
This was a robbery!
A blatant and unapologetic robbery!
But they had no choice.
Roland and Vancast were radiating overwhelming pressure, and even some of the slightly weaker fifth-rank experts in the sky found it hard to breathe.
Faced with such pressure, what could they do but surrender?
...
Roland was pleased that the enemies were not putting up resistance. He smiled at them, "There's no need to panic. Once our people have taken what they want, I'll have them leave."
"What they want? You mean our property?" a fifth-rank warrior from Sea Rock City asked.
"Exactly."
"And if I refuse to give up my property..."
Pang!
The warrior was cut off mid-sentence, exploding into a cloud of blood mist in the sky.
The other Sea Rock City experts were taken aback and quickly swallowed their words.
"Enough talk," Roland shook his head disdainfully and looked at Moseby Gessang, "Moseby, keep your people in line. If they make any sudden moves, the consequences will be the same as this man's!"
Moseby Gessang quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then sighed and said to the people around him, "Everyone, don't make any sudden moves. We can earn more money, but if we die, we lose everything."
The other high-ranking experts nodded, all hovering in the air, too afraid to move.
Cecilia glanced at the struggling Derrick in her hand.
Then, with a swift motion, she plunged her dagger into his throat, severing his head from his body.
Cecilia disdainfully tossed the two halves of Derrick aside and smiled sweetly at Moseby Gessang, "Mr. Moseby, the evidence is clear that your councilor was secretly colluding with the Rayne Empire. He has been executed. Any objections?"
Moseby Gessang: "..."
Rage burned in his heart.
Since he became a seventh-rank expert, no one had ever dared to provoke him like this!
First Roland, then Cecilia...
But what could he do?
He turned away, pretending he hadn't heard.
Thus, the high-ranking experts of Sea Rock City were trapped in the air by Cecilia, Roland, and Vancast.
The players, divided into teams of fifty, began systematically raiding the castles, mansions, and estates of the nobility, taking anything that looked valuable.
And so, the "great cleansing" began.
