Chapter 93 Battle of Giant Tree Canyon
After the players received the mission, Su Yu led them to the palace gate.
Arriving at the palace gate, Su Yu asked the players to wait here, and he followed Kelderon into the palace alone.
"Kelderon, how is the travel convoy of Her Royal Highness the Princess ready?" Su Yu asked Kelderon on the way to the palace.
Kelderon looked respectful: "Master Nemesis, the convoy is ready and will set off soon."
"Yes." Su Yu nodded slightly and said nothing more.
...
A few minutes later, five luxuriously decorated carriages with royal emblems drove out quickly from the side door of the palace.
Following the five carriages, there was also a hundred-man guard of the Princess.
The first of the five carriages was led by Minister of Foreign Affairs Hill, who was in charge of the negotiations;
The second was occupied by the seventh-level dark priest Xifan;
The third in the middle was of course the Princess's carriage;
The two behind were loaded with sundries and supplies.
This time, the princess traveled light and with a small group of people, in order to go and return quickly, so her hundred-man guards were also equipped with horses and seven days of rations and water.
Su Yu sat in the third carriage with the princess.
After the convoy left the palace, Su Yu posted a message in the chat room, asking the nine presidents to follow with the players.
The presidents quickly notified the players present.
Everyone summoned their mounts and followed the princess's convoy.
A small part of the players' mounts came from the hidden tasks in the Novice Village, and the others were ordinary horses rented or purchased in the stables in the city.
Moreover, all the players present were high-level players, and they all knew the importance of mounts. They got one as soon as they entered the city, and no one was without a mount.
The princess's convoy led the way in front, and nearly a thousand players followed behind, and the group marched towards the north gate in a mighty manner.
Su Yu sat in the third carriage, facing the princess.
Of course, the players also saw him, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Look, the nemesis boss is sitting in the carriage, and he is in close contact with the princess. We can only follow from a distance. The princess didn't even look at us!"
"Alas, who said it wasn't."
"Be content! According to the description of the scene battle, we are "assisting the nemesis". Maybe in the eyes of the NPC, we are just insignificant weeds brought by the nemesis."
"Be more confident, remove the three words "maybe", we are insignificant weeds."
"Don't think about those, perform well in the scene battle later. Maybe you will be noticed by the NPC present and give some hidden tasks."
The players chatted and hurried on their way in the back.
At the same time, the princess was also chatting with Su Yu.
"The group of adventurers you recruited are quite energetic."
The princess Alice looked back at the group of adventurers from another world behind.
This group of adventurers are all over the first level, with good equipment and momentum. There are nearly a thousand people, and together they are a considerable force.
"It must have cost a lot of money to recruit them, right? Now is a time of trouble, it's rare to have such loyal ministers." The princess thought secretly.
"Ding! [Princess Alice]'s favorability towards you +1."
After all, Su Yu had experienced Tina's favorability surge by dozens of points, so this little favorability was not enough to make him feel upset.
Su Yu's face remained unchanged, and he said respectfully: "Your Highness, according to the revelation I got from divination last night, Duke Landilus's men will pretend to be bandits to attack your convoy."
"Landilus? How dare he? Doesn't he know that Master Xifan is in my convoy?"
"What if they send someone to contain Xifan?" Su Yu looked into the princess' eyes.
"This"
The princess's expression became serious: "Where will these rebels attack us?"
"Giant Wood Canyon, Your Highness."
20 minutes later in player time, Giant Wood Canyon.
"Everyone get ready! We have arrived at Giant Wood Canyon." Snow Leopard shouted loudly.
At the same time in the chat room, the presidents were also making the final deployment.
Now the entire player team formed a circle, with tanks walking on the outermost edge of the team, and assassins and output-type warriors interspersed in between them.
Archers and magicians stood on the outer layer, protecting the fragile healing profession in the innermost layer.
True Red Eyes Black Dragon was also full of confidence at this time. He said in the chat room: "This is the first battle for our players under the eyes of NPCs! We must play well and not let the NPC look down on us!"
Yunzhong Mudi: "NPC? Just a string of data, you will lose if you take it seriously."
Snowflake Leopard: "No, no, they are not just a string of data. You have to listen more, watch more, and observe more before you draw conclusions."
Yunzhong Mudi: "Is that so?"
Yunzhong Mudi certainly knew what kind of organization the "relevant departments" of Snowflake Leopard were. After all, you can feel the iron-blooded military temperament in your daily interactions. Anyone who is not a fool knows what they do.
Hearing what Snowflake Leopard said, Yunzhong Mudi immediately believed it.
Is there any big secret hidden in this game?
Just as he was thinking, the princess convoy had entered the Giant Wood Canyon.
Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out from the hillsides on both sides!
Kill!
Kill!
Countless regular soldiers disguised as bandits rushed down the slopes on both sides of the canyon.
At the same time, layers of range spells appeared in the sky above the convoy. If all these spells were to fall, the convoy would definitely be smashed to pieces in an instant.
Xi Fan was of course prepared.
"【Shadow Sky Curtain】!"
He waved the dark purple staff in his hand lightly, and the sixth-level defensive spell [Shadow Sky Curtain] was released!
[Shadow Sky Curtain] instantly expanded to a diameter of nearly 100 meters, wrapping the entire convoy.
Those range magics in the sky that fell on [Shadow Sky Curtain] were quickly offset, and not even a magic ripple was smashed.
At this time.
"Xifan, your opponent is me!"
A dazzling holy light flew down from the clouds and hit the peak at the top of the canyon, directly smashing the peak in half.
In the aftermath of the collision, a female paladin wearing golden armor raised a two-handed sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Xifan.
"Haha, I thought it was someone else. It turned out to be you, Madeline!"
Xifan turned into a black shadow and flew towards Madeline. One gold and one black figure collided in the sky, emitting a series of deafening explosions.
At the same time, the players also acted quickly to protect the entire convoy in the middle.
It was the same circle as before, with the tank profession outside and the ranged profession and the healing profession inside.
Although [Shadow Sky] can resist magic attacks, it cannot prevent physical invasion.
The "bandits" stepped into the Shadow Sky and attacked the players inside.
Hey!
The tank professions pushed forward one by one, using their solid bodies to resist the impact of the bandits.
Under the command of each president, the magicians and archers used AOE if they had AOE, and focused on killing the bandits if they didn't have AOE.
The healing profession also raised the staff, and a series of healing lights flew out of their hands and sprinkled on the injured players in the front row.
The strength of the bandits was not high. Ordinary bandits were only about level 10-20, and were quickly killed under the concentrated fire of the players.
There were also bandits above level 30 or even 50. After killing a group of players in seconds, they rushed into the hinterland of the lineup and fought with the Princess's Guards.
The player who was killed waited patiently for a minute, then immediately resurrected beside Su Yu and joined the battle again.
With the cooperation of the players, and the instructions issued layer by layer after communication through the president's chat room, nearly a thousand players were in order and easily resisted the attack of the bandits.
