The rebels’ frontline crumbled, and Duke Landilus gave the order to retreat, bringing the first half of the final battle to a victorious conclusion for the Empire.

After receiving the retreat order, the high-ranking powerhouses from the rebel side in the sky also withdrew, temporarily bringing the war between the two sides to a halt.

Worth noting is that players on the Empire’s side involved in the final phase of the mission related to “firearms” and “artillery” gained a great advantage.

During the subsequent chase, they scored plenty of military merits. Some even amassed more merits in this single mission than they had ever done in the past!

The Empire’s players pursued relentlessly until the remaining rebel soldiers took shelter in their main camp, at which point they ceased their chase and retreated back into the city.

The battlefield, which had been bustling for over a month, fell silent once more.

In the first five stages of this 10-stage main task, Su Yu took on the role of a logistics minister, in charge of coordinating the allocation of military supplies.

The challenge of these five stages should have been the uncooperativeness, difficulties, and delays from different sides during the distribution of supplies.

But all ranking officers and military officials knew about his special relationship with the princess and Tina.

No one dared not to cooperate with Su Yu, no one dared to intentionally delay, and even less so, no one dared to make things difficult for him.

These officers gave Su Yu the green light, allowing him to easily complete these five stages of tasks.

After completing the supply allocation tasks, the remaining five stages were to apprehend spies and assassins within the city.

The spies sent by the two dukes have been appearing out of nowhere, collecting information across the city; the assassins they sent were hidden and were constantly killing high-ranking officers’ family and relatives.

For the task of capturing spies and assassins, Su Yu had a clever trick — to activate the power of the general public!

As mentioned before, the number of players in Orleans City area was simply too many, reaching tens of millions. Each player was like a ‘walking camera’, ensuring that nowhere in the city, not even the darkest and most remote back alleys, could remain hidden.

Su Yu set up a reward system, offering 3000 spiritual energy coins for each piece of valid information leading to the capture of an assassin or spy.

With the allure of the substantial reward, the players swiftly sprung into action.

With the players’ help, Su Yu easily apprehended the majority of spies and assassins, completing these five tasks.

The task progressed successfully to the 70th stage.

After completing the task, Su Yu did not rush to submit the task, instead he went onto the city wall to gauge the current situation.

At a glance, Su Yu noticed that the rebel troops below the city had already been driven back to their main camp, and the high-ranking powerhouses from the rebels in the sky were also withdrawing towards the main camp.

The high-ranking powerhouses of the Empire breathed a sigh of relief.

Some returned to the palace to report to the princess, some returned home to heal their injuries, while others stayed on the city wall to rest.

Tina fell into the last category.

During this month, she had had zero rest. After all, she was the “carrot”. Not only did she have to constantly be on alert for attacks from high-ranking rebel powerhouses, but she also had to find time to command armies using her mental energy.

Even though she possessed the “Divine Bloodline”, after a month of intense battle, she was at the verge of exhaustion.

At this point, she was standing against the coarse city bricks on the city wall, feeling a little darkness cascading before her eyes.

Of course, Su Yu knew that Tina was very tired, he rushed to Tina’s side, “Tina, are you alright?”

“Nemesis,” Tina looked at Su Yu, a blissful smile on her face, “I’m extremely tired now, but it’s alright. The war has temporarily come to an end.”

Su Yu stepped forward to support Tina, “Tina, I know you’re very tired. Let me take you home to rest, okay?”

“Okay,” Tina softly agreed, taking a step towards the stairway of the wall.

However, just as she took her first step, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness and nearly fell to the ground.

Su Yu, being quick-witted, bent down and scooped her up in a princess carry, heading for the stairs.

Noticing Su Yu’s princess carry, especially with so many people watching, Tina’s face flushed crimson.

She, however, did not resist at all, instead relaxed her body and leaned her head on Su Yu’s shoulder.

The surrounding players who saw this scene start to holler:

“Oi, Boss Ke, so many people here will form an opinion!”

“Boss Ke, you’re holding Tina. What if the princess gets upset when she finds out? Man, she’s a scary princess”

“Damn! The battle just ended and I’ve got to deal with a mouthful of dog food (relationship display)!”

The Sky Dragon lolita was sitting not too far away on the battlements, swinging her legs and nibbling on an apple to recover her strength.

Upon seeing Su Yu’s princess carry, she spat out the apple from her mouth to the ground and turned her head away, “Tsk, men!”

However, thinking about the fact that Tina couldn’t enter the real world, she cheered up a bit.

But…

All of a sudden, Sky thought of something—with the “Blood of Tina Garcia”, objects could be gilded. Tina had a lot of this blood. (This seems rather apparent.)

What if she accidentally gilded herself one day and found her way into the real world?

The more Sky thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!

If Tina ever entered the real world, wouldn’t Sky lose her advantage?

Tina was about to turn 18, and Sky was only 14. Out of age consideration, Nemesis would definitely not choose her.

Sky secretly stole glances at Su Yu’s figure in her peripheral vision, making a decision deep down in her heart:

“No, I can’t let things go on like this. I need to find out where Nemesis lives in the real world, pay him a visit, and live with him. That’s the only way to prevent Tina from making her quilted sneak attack. Yes, that’s what I’ll do!”

Upon catching sight of Su Yu’s princess carry, Sky Dragon, not too far off, muttered in annoyance, “Men!”. Even though the thought of Tina not being able to enter the real world comforted her, she couldn’t help but worry about the possibility of Tina finding a way into the real world. Especially given that she was four years younger than the almost adult Tina. If that happened, wouldn’t all her advantages disappear? Suddenly, she came up with a plan. She decided to find out where Nemesis lived in the real world and move in with him!

Not far off, Su Yu was not aware of Sky Dragon’s small figure. In fact, all of his attention was elsewhere.

The moment he picked up Tina, the only thought in his mind was one word – heavy! Damn, she was so heavy!

After advancing into the Sanctuary, Tina had put on a set of Sanctuary-level armour, which weighed up to 1300 kilograms!

When Su Yu picked up Tina, it felt like he was holding a small tank, his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Despite Su Yu being a fourth-tier magician, he was still having a hard time dealing with such weight.

The floor bricks beneath him were also “creaking” and trembling. If it wasn’t for the fact that these bricks were magic-enhanced as a whole, his feet would probably have created a hole from the pressure.

But looking at Tina’s blissful expression, and not wanting to lose face in public, Su Yu could only bear the weight and carry Tina down the city wall.

In the process of walking, all of his attention was spent struggling with this heavy load. Naturally, he did not notice Sky Dragon.

However, Tina was intelligent and quick-witted.

She noticed the pale color on Su Yu’s face and his slightly trembling arms and quickly realized the problem.

She quietly took off her wristguards, gloves, shoulder guards and other unimportant armor and put them into the Space Ring to lessen her weight, simultaneously floating slightly upward using her fury.

Thanks to a series of adjustments, Su Yu finally succeeded in carrying Tina down to the base of the city wall without collapsing under the weight.
