Chapter 544: 541, Two Major Battles End_1
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the Mantis Demon Empress, [Xi’er], immediately used her mental power to communicate with the two remaining legendary Mantis Demons, discussing their strategy for course of action.
Su Yu was not in a rush, instead calmly floating in the sky waiting for the Mantis Demons to finish their discussion.
The war within the insect nest gradually subsided.
Xi’er restrained her tribe from continuing the war, and Su Yu restrained the players, leading both sides into a standoff.
The three legendary Mantis Demons deliberated for about 5 minutes.
After the discussion, Xi’er’s eyes, originally glowing red, dimmed, and she said dejectedly, “I am willing to surrender to the Pandamen Empire.”
“Yeah!” The players near the Queen’s bedroom immediately burst into loud cheers, and Su Yu revealed a relieved smile.
He had initially prepared for a long fight, assuming the Mantis Demons wouldn’t accept his terms. The straightforward surrender from Xi’er saved him a lot of effort.
Xi’er glared resentfully at Su Yu.
They had no way to counter Su Yu’s tactic of “using a teleportation portal to deploy large numbers of players into the insect nest” from far away.
If they did not surrender now, Su Yu would just keep doing it, and their base would eventually be ruined. Sooner or later, they would have to surrender anyway.
Killing Su Yu or the players was futile. Other than surrendering, there was no other way out for the Mantis Demons.
Xi’er could not help but think of her first meeting with the leader of the Eight Races Alliance, [Tula Yang], and the words he told her.
At the time, Tula Yang had said, “In the past five years, I fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and realized a truth – never stand against the adventurers from the other world and always learn to use them.”
“Whichever power confronts the adventurers from the other world, only their destruction awaits. I hope you will remember this.”
At the time, Xi’er dismissed his words.
It wasn’t until now that she truly understood the despair of standing against adventurers from the other worlds, especially the strongest among them, [Nemesis].
…
In front of the silent Mantis Demon Army and the players, Su Yu and Xi’er officially signed the surrender agreement.
The Mantis Demons unconditionally surrendered to the Pandamen and were not allowed to launch any military action against the Pandamen Empire within five years.
Once the Mantis Demons breached the agreement, the Mantis God, [Xingduo], would curse them, causing all larvae and young in the entire kingdom to die.
After Xi’er signed the agreement, Su Yu’s task progress soared to 50%. The players’ progress bar was immediately filled to 100%, marking a perfect victory for the campaign!
However, Su Yu did not stop there.
After resting for a while and fully restoring his magic power, he assigned the campaign mission to the players – [Raid on Mogu’shan Palace].
Then he immediately rushed to the Mogu’shan Palace and used the same teleportation portal tactic against the Mogu Clan as he did against the Mantis Demons. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
But it must be said that the Mogu Clan was tough.
In the first round of the raid 20 minutes later, the Mogu Clan wiped out 200,000 players without showing any intention of surrendering.
Su Yu was also injured in the attack and had to retreat.
However, half an hour later, the players respawned for a second round of attacks on the Mogu Clan.
Facing the resurrected players and a fully recovered Su Yu, the Mogu Clan’s morale was completely broken, and they eventually opted for surrender just like the Mantis Demons.
By now, the players had completed their second major scenario campaign, and Su Yu’s progress for the [Keeping the Country Safe through Martial Acts] task had reached 100%.
Both grand battles were done and dusted in just over three hours.
Su Yu even gained a whopping 1.5 billion Experience Points from both battles! He already had all the experience he needed to level his Morning Star to the peak of the seventh tier, and possibly even to God Level!
…
These two battles created quite a sensation in the game as well.
The players made a killing from the side quests, earning loads of experience, equipment, spiritual energy coins, pet eggs, and many other rewards.
The players who received large rewards certainly didn’t keep quiet.
They went straight to the official forums and chat rooms to boast extravagantly, and news of the two epic battles quickly spread.
In the game’s NPC community, attention was also heavily focused on these two battles.
The Pandamen were obviously overjoyed. But the Eight Races Alliance was somewhat concerned about Su Yu’s tactics.
They had no countermeasure for Su Yu’s tactic of “using a teleportation portal to deploy a large number of adventurers.”
Although Sylvanas and some other shamans and witches also had the ability to control souls, they first had to catch Su Yu!
Su Yu could simply hide in a remote corner and keep sending troops into their territory; they would have no way to counter him.
In their helplessness, the Eight Races Alliance held a meeting to discuss countermeasures against Su Yu.
After more than an hour of discussion, the leader of the alliance, [Tula Yang], issued a warning to Su Yu telling him not to have aggressive intentions towards the Eight Races Alliance.
First, the alliance had a large number of witches who could control souls. If Su Yu was controlled, he would undergo unimaginable torment.
Second, if Su Yu attacked the alliance, they would immediately move to the Goldfinch Continent and declare war on the Goldfinch Empire. He hoped Su Yu would not kick against the pricks.
Su Yu learned of Tula Yang’s statement through the players’ gossip.
He was okay with the first statement, but the second one left him in a bind.
He certainly wouldn’t bring Goldfinch Empire into another war just to help the Pandamen.
“As for the Eight Races Alliance… it should be left to the Pandamen. I believe they can handle it.” In the northwest sky of the Pandamen Empire, Su Yu muttered to himself.
…
Now that he had completed the [Keeping the Country Safe through Martial Acts] mission, he was supposed to go back to the Imperial Capital of the Pandamen to turn it in.
However, he had no intention of going back and continued flying northwest towards the Mantis Plateau, the main battlefield between the Pandamen and the Eight Races Alliance.
The reason for going to the Mantis Plateau was because he wanted to do more with the [Keeping the Country Safe through Martial Acts] mission.
Indeed, the task progress bar had already reached 100%. But such large-scale tasks can be over-achieved.
Take for example, the time he was appointed by Bernina to go to the West Continent of Goldfinch to “shear sheep”. The initial “30 billion” task target was over-achieved by a staggering 10 times when Su Yu brought back “336.7 billion”!
The more tasks were completed beyond the objective, the greater rewards would ultimately be.
The last time he got as much as 10 billion spiritual energy coins as a reward!
This time he wanted to expand his gains and aim for even more rewards.
