Chapter 345: 345, Self-Destruction_1
After all, Haiyan City is one of the top cities on the western continent. Many players from the two empire factions of Lai Yin and Wind Chime are undertaking missions inside the city.
When they saw Su Yu and Alyssa appear, they excitedly waved their hands:
“Boss Ke, why are you here?”
“Boss Ke, did you take a hidden quest?”
“This hidden quest actually involves Queen Alice… is it another main storyline?!”
Su Yu waved to the players below with a smile, almost blurting out “You guys are working hard”.
Alyssa was gathering her psychic energy.
At full power, her psychic energy transformed into a solid golden ripple, scanning back and forth in Haiyan City.
The aristocratic gathering area to the west of the city was of her main focus.
Soon, through psychic scanning, she located where Grantex was.
“Nemesis, over there!” Alyssa pointed to a large manor.
“Understood!”
Su Yu activated [Ice Wings], flying at the fastest speed towards the manor that was hosting a party.
Upon arriving above the manor, he ignored his body load and released a dozen [Flash Skills] in succession, quickly approaching Grantex, who had escaped from the courtyard.
Grantex was completely scared after being locked on by Alyssa’s psychic energy.
His mind was blank, and the only two words he had left in his mind were “I’m done”!
Driven by instinct, he used all his strength to fly through the side window, desperately trying to escape.
But as soon as he escaped from the courtyard, Su Yu, who had released a dozen [Flash Skills] in succession, was already at his side.
Standing in front of Grantex, Su Yu barely held back the pain brought on by the high body load, and gave a slight smile, “Hello, traitor.”
Grantex:
His heart skipped a beat. Su Yu’s smile seemed more terrifying than a demon.
“Allah, save me!”
Bang!
Accompanied by an ear-piercing blast, Haiyan City got hit by a faux nuclear missile, and a golden mushroom cloud with a diameter of two kilometers rose from the aristocratic gathering area.
Grantex’s manor and more than a dozen nearby aristocrats’ mansions vanished in smoke immediately.
The dust from the explosion shot into the sky, obscuring the sun.
The shockwave also quickly spread in all directions, and the rampant dust seemed to swallow everything in its path.
Even people in the relatively distant civilian district could feel the ground shaking violently. Many unstable houses collapsed, filling the place with howls and cries.
After all, this was damage times ten Su Yu’s life value.
After obtaining the boss template, Su Yu’s life value was almost 15 times that of a peer player.
With this level of explosion, it was impossible for any creature to survive within a one-kilometer radius.
Grantex was no exception, of course.
With little to no reaction time, he was killed instantly in the explosion, taken away directly by Su Yu.
Upon sensing Grantex’s death, the knot in Alyssa’s heart that had been disturbing her for a long time lessened considerably, and her mood brightened up.
Thank you, Nemesis, for helping her eliminate this traitor!
But remembering that she wouldn’t be seeing Nemesis for three months, her momentarily lifted spirit suddenly weighed down again.
She shook her head, putting Nemesis aside for now.
Then she slightly narrowed her eyes, starting to gather her magic.
An infinite amount of frost magic began to accumulate around her wand.
“Ice Wall!”
With a wave of Alyssa’s magic wand, a huge ice wall over ten meters high, spanning the entire city sprung up from the ground.
This gigantic ice wall stood right at the boundary between the nobility gathering area and the civilian district.
The explosive shockwave that Su Yu created wreaked havoc in the nobility gathering area and was quickly nearing the vulnerable civilian district.
At that moment, Alyssa’s ice wall appeared just in time. The shockwave hit the ice wall, producing a creaking sound.
But fortunately, the ice wall never shattered, blocking the shockwave perfectly.
“Thank you, Her Majesty, the Queen!”
“Queen Alyssa! We will always adore you!”
“You will always be our greatest Queen!”
The civilians of Haiyan City bowed deeply towards Alyssa one after another.
How could one not adore such a good queen like Alyssa, who at this critical moment could still prioritize the well-being of her people?
Alyssa waved her hand towards the civilians below and then, amplified by magic, announced loudly to the whole city:
“I am Alyssa Golden Chrysanthemum, the Empress of the Goldfinch Empire! Now, Grantex has been executed. You all saw it, didn’t you? This is the price for betraying the Goldfinch Empire!”
“I vow here: I won’t let a single traitor of the Empire go unpunished! Your fate will be the same as Grantex!”
Alyssa’s voice echoed over the whole city.
The noble gathering area of Haiyan City was silent, no one responded to Alyssa;
But in the civilian district and slums, many people responded loudly, raising their fists in approval:
“The Queen is right, traitors are not welcome, whoever they may be!”
“Being a traitor, one must be prepared to pay the price!”
“Traitors deserve nothing less than death!”
Seeing her goal achieved, a smile flickered at the corner of Alyssa’s lips.
Afterwards, she and Antondidas launched a surprise attack and destroyed several key military facilities within the city.
Haiyan City served as the main support point for the two great empires in their invasion of the Western Continent, essentially the headquarters of their joint armies’ logistics.
Here, were warehouses full of soldiers, horses, grains and other supplies.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alyssa took away everything she could, opened the warehouse doors for the civilians to “get everything for free”, or set what she couldn’t take on fire.
But this didn’t last long.
Once the two great empires’ legendary powerhouses noticed a fire in their backyard, they hurriedly led their people back from the front lines.
Soon, countless little black dots appeared on the horizon. Tula Yang and the others, their faces dark with fury, were encircling Haiyan City.
Alyssa flashed a faint smile: “Antondidas, let’s go.”
“Alright!” Antondidas cast a teleportation spell, and with Alyssa, having recovered to fifth stage, easily left Haiyan City, returning to her own territory.
Seeing the white light which symbolized teleportation disappear from his line of sight, Tula Yang was taken aback.
What’s going on?!
He knew Antondidas well. Antondidas could teleport Alyssa from Goldfinch territory to here, but it would be impossible for him to teleport her back.
One-way teleportation over such a long distance would consume most of Antondidas’s magic. How was he able to teleport back and forth? Did he have a new breakthrough in his power?
Just as Tula Yang was thinking, Svein, a general of the Wind Chime Empire, addressed him discontentedly:
“Your Excellency Tula Yang, you confidently said that Alyssa will fall into the trap, what do you have to say now?”
“Ha ha, sorry.” Tula Yang feeling slightly embarrassed: “Let’s go and check what happened. We should be able to get some idea by questioning those who witnessed the event.”
Having said that, Tula Yang flew quickly towards Haiyan City.
