Trantor: 549690339
The main backdrop to the three-ring main story is that Orleans City can no longer support the consumption of 300,000 soldiers, acutelycking in military supplies, food, and other resources.
The only ce that can provide supplies is Pearl City, located in the southeast of the Empire.
But thend route between Orleans City and Pearl City is now blocked off by rebel forces, and the path by water is impeded by the mixed-warters of the Lai Yin Empire and the Wind Chime Empire. The cost of using the teleportation array is excessively high.
In despair, the task of transporting supplies fell upon the yers.
After all, yers are cheapbor, and the NPCs have found that if there is anything that need be done, the yers are willing to help for a bit of a reward, thus the NPCs prefer to have the yers help.
Su Yu called out in the guild channel and chat president, quickly gathering two thousand people.
Snow Leopard was absent, but The Range is The Truth and Red-Eyed ck Dragon came.
Su Yu handed the management of the yers to these two. Everyone then used the yer-specific teleportation array to teleport directly to Pearl City.
Upon arriving in Pearl City, everyone promptly mounted up and, with Su Yu in the lead, proceeded to the city lord’s manor in Pearl City in a grand manner.
At the entrance to the city lord’s manor, Su Yu let everyone wait at the door, and went themselves to meet the city lord.
Pearl City is undoubtedly the richest city in the entire Empire, with the interior decoration of the city lord’s residence being very luxurious.
Walking in, there were sculptures made by the dwarf masters, magical fountains made by the elf craftsmen, Pandamenndscape calligraphy and paintings were everywhere in sight. Compared to the lord of Orleans City, ude, it was like night and day.
Following the guard, Su Yu made his/her way deep into the city lord’s residence.
Inside the meeting room at the very depth, Su Yu met the city lord of Pearl City—Michelle Drank.
Michelle Drank is a half-elfdy, over eight hundred years old, but she still maintains the appearance of an eighteen-year-old girl, and her different pointed ears prove her half-elf identity.
Su Yu had met with Michelle a few times before.
Back in Forest City, Su Yu had helped Xi Fan to send letters to Michelle. Michelle was present during the time when Xi Fan seized power and murdered the king, so they can be considered as being quite familiar with each other.
Of course, Michelle knows Su Yu’s position in the princess’s mind, and this person could potentially be Prince in the future!
So upon seeing Su Yu, she enthusiastically said, “Your Excellency Nemesis, may I ask the purpose of your visit? Is it the princess’s decision?”
“Correct, the Princess asked me to deliver a letter to you.” Su Yu answered, taking out the princess’s handwritten letter from their backpack and handing it to Michelle.
“A letter from the princess?” Michelle took the envelope, used a special spell to unlock the magic seal, and started reading the contents of the letter.
But as she browsed the letter, the smile on her face quickly disappeared, reced by a particrly serious look.
Su Yu took a sip of the tea, curiously asking, “Lady Michelle, can you tell me the content of the letter?”
“That…” Michelle nced at Su Yu.
After a short thought, she nodded her head: “If it was someone else, I definitely wouldn’t tell them, but you… based on yours and the princess’s rtionship, telling you is okay.”
Michelle scanned around cautiously with her mental strength, and when she was sure no one was there, she said: “The first half of the letter is about the transportation of supplies.”
“The princess asked me to give the prepared supplies to you adventurers and for you to bring them back to Orleans City.”
Su Yu nodded: “What about the second half?”
“The second half is confidential.” Michelle moved closer to Su Yu’s ear and lowered her voice: “The princess ns to fight decisively with the rebels!”
“A decisive battle?”
“Yes, the princess ns to rely on the defense of Orleans City to fight decisively with the rebels and try to wipe out the high-ranking rebels and most of the rebels’ armies in one battle, thereby defeating the rebels.”
“This…” Su Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Michelle continued: “For this decisive battle, the princess asked me to go to the Elf Kingdom and invite the Regent King. The Regent King is a high-ranking Great Druid. With him, we can crush the rebels in terms of the strength of high-rankingbatants.”
“Elf Regent King?! ” Su Yu was shocked: ” Aren’t the elves not allowed to interfere in human internal affairs?”
“The Pandamen have an old saying, ‘it’s one thing now and anotherter.’ ” Michelle shook her finger nonchntly: “The rules are all set by people. Now that the Empire is on the verge of destruction, will we still care about these rules?”
“That makes sense.” Su Yu was relieved.
Michelle smiled: “Moreover, the Lord Guardian has a treasure of the elf race — The Eternal Crown. The princess promised the Regent King that if they join the war, the crown will be returned to them. I think there is a very high chance that the Regent King will take part in this war. Nemesis, I’m telling you all of this but you cannot tell anyone else!”
“Don’t worry, I promise I won’t tell anyone else.” Su Yu responded quickly.
“That’s good.” Michelle stood up: “Now I will take you to the warehouse in the south of the city to acquire these supplies, so that you can deliver the supplies back to Orleans City as soon as possible. We wouldn’t want the princess to worry.”
“Alright.” Su Yu replied while standing up as well.
Three minutester, Su Yu riding Dima, and Michelle on a white pure-bred horse,ughing and leaving the city lord’s manor together.
On the surface, Su Yu wasughing and chatting with Michelle, but in his heart, he was constantly thinking about the matter she had just shared.
He didn’t quite understand why Michelle chose to share such important secret information with him?
If what Michelle said is true, this matter would likely determine the oue of the entire war!
Is it appropriate to disclose something this confidential to him?
Even though he has a unique rtionship with the princess, with knowledge of a secret of this magnitude, the risk of leak increases.
“Something’s not right, something’s definitely off.” Su Yu pondered in his mind, but he couldn’t quite put the finger on what exactly was wrong.
The yers at the entrance of the City Lord’s residence greeted Su Yu as he rode out.
“Boss Ke, you’re finally out!”
“It was so quick?”
“Wow, such a beautiful half-elf!”
“Prince Ke, you actually flirt with other women behind the princess?”
“I don’t care, I have screenshots, this is evidence of Boss Ke’s infidelity!”
Su Yu waved and ignored the yers’ments: “Everyone, mount up. The supplies are in the warehouse in the south of the city, we will follow the city lord over there.”
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the yers finally realized that this young and beautiful half-elf was the city lord of Pearl City.
But the purebred horse and Dima were quickly out of sight, and the yers hurriedly summoned their mounts to catch up.
In arge warehouse in the south of the city, Michelle prepared supplies for Orleans City.
There were wooden boxes of 1-2 cubic meters stored all over the warehouse, containing food, weapons, armor, daily necessities, and other supplies.
After entering the warehouse, Michelle smiled at Su Yu: “Nemesis, these twenty thousand wooden boxes are all the supplies Orleans City needs. So I’m leaving this all up to you!”
