The first battle of the City of the Braves only lasted five hours, but the results of the battle were astonishing.
At least in the eyes of Silin and Brady, such a result was a miracle. They had never fought in such an efficient and hearty battle as today!
Even when the silver-haired young man in charge put down the flute in his hand and announced that today’s battle was over, Silin was still full of anger and killing intent. She felt unsatisfied.
She felt that the anger, hatred and pain that had accumulated in her chest in these four years had been vented in today’s battle.
The interstellar beasts that took her homeland and the lives of those she cared for in the past, the beasts that trampled on the human race wantonly— finally fell at her feet one by one today!
She didn’t need to be afraid or run away any longer. The ones who really needed to be afraid were those executioners!
“Your Highness Silin?”
Brady looked at her, waiting for her orders.
After a long afternoon, they were still in good shape. They obviously wanted to continue fighting.
Silin took a deep breath before turning around and flying back. “Let’s go! It is His Majesty’s order!”
She didn’t make it very clear, but her three subordinates were all human beings. They naturally understood her subtext.
This was His Majesty’s order. Even she couldn’t disobey it. They had to abide by it.
Brady and the others looked at each other.
However, His Majesty had indeed proven with his abilities that he was an emperor worth following.
Even they, who were former subordinates of the eldest prince, had been convinced after experiencing today’s battle.
Asking Silin just now and waiting for her order was just a matter of habit.
Now because of her scolding, they couldn’t help feeling awe. As they retreated, they started to reflect on it in their hearts.
One was a ruler and the other was a subordinate. They really needed to change their thinking in the future!
On the other hand, the players didn’t rush back. They withdrew while cleaning the battlefield to collect loot.
The last Glass Sea Plains battle was fought well, but the corpses of the interstellar beasts were taken away by the shadow guards sent by Xu Sili. The players couldn’t take advantage of it.
Players had some understanding of the emperor’s temperament. In addition, there was also the incident where Si Sheng slaughtered tens of thousands of interstellar beasts outside Orchid Moon City in one fell swoop before sweeping away all the beast cores!
So now, at the risk of possible death, they had to quickly pick up the corpses while they were still here.
The interstellar beasts didn’t drop equipment but the materials from their corpses were treasures. They could take the materials to the NPCs to make equipment, but it would cost a lot of money.
There were also the star beast cores. Anyone who had played games and read novels knew that they must be an important setting.
In short, people died for wealth, just as birds died for food. They would pick up as much as they could!
Xu Sili didn’t bother to care about them.
Originally, the Balance technique meant he didn’t need to use Sprouting all the time if there were enough people. But now the situation was different.
On the one hand, there were too many high level interstellar beasts at the border and the damage was increased. On the other hand, many players were new and were only level 5. A lot of them had health less than 1,000.
In order to take care of them, he didn’t dare stop his Sprouting technique at all.
He played the flute for five hours while also manipulating the sound elements to only act on his group. He needed a high degree of concentration and it was almost fatal.
The young man’s face was obviously tired, but when he controlled the flying saucer back to the starting point and saw Si Sheng and Silin waiting for him, he managed to perk up again.
“Snow!”
Silin greeted him. After the afternoon battle, she couldn’t hide her exhaustion but her face had finally recovered a bit of radiance.
Xu Sili smiled, walked to Silin’s side very naturally and said to Silin, “Imperial Sister, do you believe me now?”
Silin was startled. Then she remembered the bet made before the battle started. He said he would recover the land with zero casualties.
She looked at the young man in front of her. Finally, her lips curved up and she nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty!”
Sensing the change in her title, Xu Sili was stunned.
“Imperial Sister…”
Silin didn’t let him continue and instead asked, “Your Majesty, how did you do it just now?”
Xu Sili pursed his lips. He actually didn’t care very much about titles, especially since he had the idea of abdicating in the future. However, Silin had her own thoughts and he had just found her again…
Let her do whatever she wanted.
He wondered, “What do you mean by that?”
“Turn the attacks of the interstellar beasts invisible so that we can fight without fear of danger!” Silin exclaimed with burning eyes.
Xu Sili smiled.
“It isn’t invisible. It is about spreading the damage you have suffered evenly to everyone in the army. This is equivalent to everyone bearing it together, so the injuries suffered by the individual will naturally be small.”
He corrected it. “In addition, my sound skills can heal injuries quickly. This way, the casualties can be minimized and even reach the level of no damage.”
Silin nodded repeatedly when she heard this. Then Xu Sili told her, “This is the secret technique I have comprehended and it was confirmed in the Glass Sea Plains battle. It also played a miraculous effect in today’s battle.”
“So please rest assured, we can recover this land and we will definitely do so!”
“I said that I would let the blood of the interstellar beasts pay homage to the heroic souls. It isn’t just casual talk. Please believe in me!”
Silin’s eyes were red, but she still managed a smile despite her tears.
She said with great relief, “I believe in you. You have grown up and are qualified. No, you are an emperor who is indomitable, responsible and thoughtful!”
“Do whatever you want. Just let it go! I, Silin, will always follow Your Majesty!”
The way she looked at Xu Sili wasn’t only with the love and affection of an older sister looking at her younger brother. There was also the loyalty and trust of a subject toward the monarch.
Xu Sili sighed in his heart.
He didn’t really want to do this but… he was indeed not the real Snow. It was impossible for him and Silin to become real siblings.
Perhaps this type of relationship was the most suitable for them.
“Yes, I still need to rely on Imperial Sister in many places in the future. But for now, let’s go back to Imperial City first. Joan and Aunt Val will definitely be very happy to see you.”
“Aunt Val?”
Silin was stunned. “Isn’t Aunt Val already…?”
Xu Sili was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Silin to actually know this… However, when Joan returned, Silin was 17 or 18 years old. Even if she had never met Val, she probably knew there was such a person.
He smiled slightly. “Yes, she is still alive. I accidentally found her when I went out on a trip to alien planets.”
“She was injured in battle and was in a coma for almost 10 years. Now she has finally woken up and is recuperating in the palace.”
Almost 10 years in a coma…
Silin’s eyes turned slightly red. She suddenly thought of her older brother again. He had suffered a lot, but due to her negligence, he couldn’t be saved along with her.
She bit her lip and barely managed to smile.
“Then I really have to go back and see.”
There wasn’t much left of the bloodline of the imperial family of Roland. Every person needed to be cherished.
Then she thought of something and looked at the battlefield again with a bit of reluctance.
She still wanted to keep fighting…
However, it was now more important to send her brother back to Imperial City.
Silin stroked her chest. She carried Xenos’ communicator close to her body.
Xu Sili saw what she meant and said softly, “If you still want to participate in tomorrow’s battle, you can come back then.”
Silin blinked and looked at the spaceship again.
He had rushed over the day after she sent the distress message. She thought that the spaceship was very fast.
“Wouldn’t it be too much trouble?”
“Trouble? No, there is no trouble.”
Xu Sili shook his head before looking at the earth elementalist. “You are Abner, right?”
Abner was flattered and quickly nodded.
“Can you…” Xu Sili pointed to a part of the forest where not that many trees had been cleared. “Can you form a flat piece of land in this area?”
Then he mentioned the approximate area.
Naturally, Abner had no problem with this. Soon, a flat piece of land that met the requirements was created.
Was it to land the spaceship?
He thought in his heart, ‘His Majesty has given us too many surprises in the past two days. I don’t know what is going on in Imperial City now…’
They were all excited to finally be able to return to their homeland.
James also looked up at the ship, waiting for the behemoth to land.
However, the ship didn’t descend.
On the contrary, the emperor came to the flat ground under their eyes. This also attracted many braves to watch.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Sili took out the teleportation circle card and used his spiritual power.
There was a burst of brilliant purple light. Then the card soared into the sky, turning into beams of light in mid-air. It fell at the feet of the silver-haired youth like a meteor.
This scene was so beautiful that many people crazily stared. Even the audience watching the players’ live broadcasts forgot to send any barrage comments.
Then under everyone’s eyes, the light disappeared and a somewhat familiar magic circle appeared on the flat ground out of thin air.
The light dissipated and the silver-haired young man standing in the center of the magic circle suddenly looked back.
His gaze first fell on the man in the military uniform standing on the edge of the magic circle. After smiling at the man, he looked at the stunned short-haired woman.
The corners of the young man’s lips curled up and contained a bit of tenderness. “Imperial Sister, come here. I’ll take you home.”
Silin’s tears suddenly couldn’t be stopped.
She covered her face and took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart. After that, she entered the teleportation circle with Brady, Abner and James.
They didn’t know the function of this magic circle but they were willing to trust the emperor. They believed he would take them home.
The two ordinary soldiers who remained on the spaceship were also sent down. With them was a simple and dilapidated wheelchair.
Silin tightly gripped the armrest of the wheelchair. Then as the light of the magic circle soared into the sky, she finally embarked on the road of return, returning to the home that haunted her.
This scene was faithfully recorded by onlookers and sparked a heated discussion on the Starry Sky Forum.
[F*k, isn’t this the teleportation circle of Imperial City? I remember that pattern! I have photos of the teleportation circles of the main cities.]
[I went to the teleportation hall to see. It is indeed the teleportation circle of Imperial City.]
[F*k, so what is this new method of playing with cards? Hurry up and announce it. I want to play it!]
[Am I the only one curious about the ‘Imperial Sister’ that Snow called out? Isn’t his sister dead? Isn’t this something amazing?]
[I just want to know how the officials will solve the unbalanced development of the game! I spent 100,000 to buy a game cabin. Why should I be treated differently?]
In fact, ever since Xu Sili announced that he would establish the City of the Braves, the discussion on the forum hadn’t stopped. There was a battle in the game and in reality, related topics rushed to the hot search.
Among them, the most heated discussion was undoubtedly the unfairness that had existed since the closed beta.
Today, the contradiction had finally reached the climax.
After all, there were only a bit over 12,000 players who participated in the battle of the City of the Braves. Only 156 mercenary group leaders received the legendary mission.
Meanwhile, there were a total of 106,000 players in the open beta!
The remaining more than 90,000 casual players could only watch. They watched as cute and new guild players had their levels soar to the 10s and 20s in just half a day. Anyone would be psychologically unbalanced.
What’s more, there was land!
The land in the City of the Braves was distributed according to contribution. They wanted to contribute too! But the dog planners didn’t give them a chance!
Did they not deserve to play games if they didn’t join a guild?
This was too unfair!
Even so, no one clamored to quit the game. They just hoped that the game planners would come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Due to the quality of the game itself and the attention it attracted in the past six months, Starry Sky Age became the hit game of the year just two days after the open beta started.
Now there was suddenly such a big event and the degree of discussion on each platform had reached its peak.
In addition, the video of Xu Sili turning a card into the teleportation circle attracted many people. Technical fans focused on what skill and new gameplay this was, and CP fans…
Ahhhhh, Si x Snow gave sugar again!
They turned the scene of Xu Sili and Si Sheng smiling at each into a GIF and ate the candy.
In short, Starry Sky Age was really exploding in popularity!
At present, the number of orders for game cabins has exceeded 500,000. Even though the price had doubled from the closed beta, the supply of 100,000 units was still lacking.
This type of performance made the eyes of their competitors turn red.
They could imagine the crazy wave that Starry Sky Age would create in China once the game helmet with a lower price was released. Even now, some foreign companies had come to inquire about an overseas distribution.
Xu Yuheng had a bad premonition when Xiao Li apologized to him, but he hadn’t expected Xiao Li to play so big.
Then after thinking about it calmly, he thought it was a good idea to cultivate player loyalty. There were just some temporary loopholes that needed to be improved.
He persuaded Elder Wang, barely got the support of the game team and they discussed countermeasures together.
As for his older brother Xu Fengqing, Xu Yuheng didn’t have the energy to care about him for the time being. The game was his responsibility and he naturally had to solve it if something happened.
It was fine if his older brother didn’t come to pressure him and didn’t expect him to help.
What’s more, he heard that his older brother had taken a week off, so there was no reason to bother him.
It was just that when Xu Yuheng heard the secretary’s report, he suspected that he heard it incorrectly.
How strange. How long had it been since his older brother took a vacation? He actually asked for leave just to play the game? Was the sun rising from the west?
Xu Fengqing himself felt it was incredible.
As he waited for the Black Valley to cook, he had received a call from his secretary to report to him about tomorrow’s schedule.
This was the first time that Xu Fengqing felt that the weekend had passed so quickly, and the next day was a working day.
Looking at the boiling porridge and then at Xenos, who was still pale and weak, he hesitated repeatedly. Finally, he took a week off and asked the secretary to postpone or cancel the trip.
Originally, he just wanted to ask for two days. Then after thinking about it, he decided to take a week off.
He felt that after a week…
It should be solved, right?
