Chapter 540: Forced Surrender (Make-up Update)
Chapter 540: Forced Surrender (Make-up Update)
The battle was heating up.
Su Yu, in his Blue Dragon form, was taking on the Mantid Empress Xena Chase, an 82-level opponent, head-on with his 80-level strength.
However, after five minutes of intense combat, Su Yu realized that the fight was evenly matched. Neither side could gain the upper hand, nor did they fall behind.
He couldn't tell if it was because his combat strength was exceptionally high or if the Mantid Empress's combat strength was unusually weak.
Their battlefield remained locked at the entrance to the bedroom, with no movement in either direction.
At the three-minute mark, Xena Chase's personal guards, the "Empress's Elite," arrived on the scene.
Her Elite consisted of seven mantid warriors: one at the Seventh Rank, two at the Sixth Rank, and four at the Fifth Rank.
The Seventh-Rank mantid warrior, known as "Lord Blade Tyson," was an 80-level physical fighter, just like the Empress.
Su Yu used the "Lunar Clan Emblem" to summon the "Lunar Phantom" to deal with Tyson.
The "Lunar Clan Emblem" was considered a top-tier artifact by Su Yu because the "Lunar Phantom" he summoned had the same level as his own.
An 80-level "Lunar Phantom" appeared in front of Su Yu, her gray wings spreading like a gray meteor as she charged toward Tyson.
Her dual black and white spears generated a suffocating chaotic force. In their first clash, she pierced a small hole in Tyson's massive body, gaining a temporary advantage.
However, Tyson, the "Blade Lord," was a formidable opponent.
He activated his full strength, and a large, high-hardness amber armor enveloped his entire body. The Lunar Phantom's chaotic thrusts could no longer penetrate his amber armor.
Tyson then unleashed powerful "Apex Strikes," and the overwhelming pressure began to put the Lunar Phantom on the defensive.
Despite this, the Lunar Phantom fought with great resilience and showed no signs of being defeated in the short term.
As for the Empress's other guards, Su Yu summoned "Wind Lord Oliver" and "Desert Soldiers" to handle them with ease.
"Wind Lord Oliver" was a Sixth-Rank fighter, and while each "Desert Soldier" was only at the Fifth Rank, the combined strength of five "Desert Soldiers" was not to be underestimated.
With the help of these summoned creatures, Su Yu easily held off the Mantid Empress and her entire Elite Guard.
The Empress's bedroom was surrounded by other Second-Rank to Fourth-Rank guards, but Su Yu left them to the players to handle.
Although the mantid guards were of higher rank, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming human tide and were eliminated one by one.
The main battlefield gradually fell into a stalemate.
However, in the various secondary battlefields, Su Yu and the players were achieving significant victories!
Su Yu had learned "Battle Chess Strategy" from Tina, making his command skills exceptionally strong.
While dealing with the Mantid Empress, he divided his mental energy into dozens of streams to command the other 80,000 players in the hive.
Su Yu's command method was simple: he issued a large number of side quests, instructing the players to follow the quest descriptions.
The quests directed the players to occupy and destroy various areas of the "Heart of Fear" hive, clearing out the mantid guards.
He was also very generous with rewards, offering the maximum possible rewards for each side quest, ensuring that the players were fully motivated.
High rewards naturally led to high player enthusiasm.
The players excitedly roamed the hive, carrying out their tasks.
By the ten-minute mark of the battle, the entire "Heart of Fear" hive was almost completely destroyed.
The mantid guards within the hive were eradicated, and the various facilities were in ruins.
Even the main control panel in the control room was shattered to pieces by the subsequent arrival of over twenty heavily armed berserker warriors from the True Red Alliance, who used their [Berserk Charge] in unison.
Compared to the mantis demons, the players now resembled a "swarm" more than ever.
Xia Kexi's mental power could cover the entire insect nest. Seeing her carefully cultivated lair being destroyed, she grew increasingly agitated and enraged, wishing to tear Su Yu and the players outside into pieces.
However, Su Yu fought steadily, engaging in a war of attrition at the bedroom door. She could only watch helplessly as humans ravaged her insect nest, her fury boiling over.
It wasn't until the 15th minute of the battle that the tide began to turn.
The mantis demon capital's lord, [Windlord Melgarak], arrived with the royal elite [Mo'ang Mark Blade Team].
The average strength of the Mo'ang Mark Blade Team was a formidable Fourth Rank.
Despite Su Yu's leadership, the players could not withstand such a significant level gap. The player forces were decimated in the Blade Team's slaughter, with the front lines nearly covered in the white light of death.
In just three minutes, more than 20,000 players were killed.
[Windlord Melgarak] even jumped through the window of the queen's bedroom to join the fray.
With this Seventh Rank reinforcement, the balance of the battlefield was shattered, and Su Yu's defeat was only a matter of time.
Xia Kexi's spirits lifted.
While continuing to engage Su Yu, she shouted to Windlord Melgarak, "Melgarak, let's kill this blue dragon together! All the dragon skin and bones will be yours!"
Xia Kexi still hadn't figured out Su Yu's true nature and assumed he was a blue dragon.
However, Su Yu no longer wanted to play games.
He used a breath attack to temporarily push back Xia Kexi, then transformed into his human form in the sky.
Returning to his human form, he smiled at Xia Kexi and said, "Your Majesty, do you know who I am?"
"You're... the bane? You're already Seventh Rank?" Xia Kexi was greatly shocked.
Returning to his human form, Su Yu's "Interworld Adventurer" aura could no longer be hidden, and the mantis demon queen recognized him immediately.
But recognizing him only brought a deep sense of helplessness to Xia Kexi.
She knew Su Yu was unkillable; even if she killed him now, he would resurrect and return to full strength within a few days.
Facing such an opponent, any intelligent being would feel a profound sense of helplessness.
Of course, native beings had developed some spells specifically to counter Interworld Adventurers, such as Sylvanas's [Soul Control], which could prevent players from resurrecting.
But the problem was, she didn't know any such spells.
Blade Lord Tayak and Windlord Melgarak exchanged glances and shook their heads in helplessness.
The mantis demons specialized in physical combat, with few spellcasters, and none of them knew the [Soul Control] spell. They were truly at a loss against Su Yu.
...
Su Yu saw the expressions on the mantis demons' faces.
He hovered in the air and smiled, "Your Majesty, are you ready to surrender? If you surrender to the Pandaren Empire and sign a surrender agreement, I and my Interworld Adventurers will immediately withdraw from 'Heart of Fear' and promise never to invade again!"
"If you refuse to surrender, I and my Interworld Adventurers will return every few days and attack your other insect nests until you do surrender."
"Please think carefully, will you surrender?"
