Translator: 549690339
After Xi Fan fell, a vast amount of dark fog overflowed from his body, uncontrollably scattering in all directions.
Alyssa, in unison with three other seventh-tier powerhouses, cast a seal spell, finally confining Xi Fan’s body and the dark fog into a metal container the size of a basketball. This prevented the spreading fog from causing secondary harm to the civilian area below.
After the seal was in place, Alyssa stowed the metal container into her space ring.
Then she ascended high into the sky and addressed the city’s inhabitants:
“Hello everyone, I am Princess Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum, of the Empire.
A terrible disaster has occurred in our Forest City. Half a month ago, the national teacher Xi Fan seized control of my father the emperor and forged imperial edicts to carry out the inhumane ‘Frenzy Ceremony’ at the city center, driving many residents into the ceremony, causing their minds to go berserk and attack each other.
In this half month’s time, Xi Fan has caused at least 200,000 civilian casualties and over a million adventurers from other realms have been sacrificed!”
“But today, with the help of the Guardian God, I personally killed Xi Fan!
No one needs to worry about being forced into the Frenzy Ceremony any longer. I will lead all of you moving forward, help you rebuild your homes, and vow on the reputation of the Golden Chrysanthemum family!”
Alyssa’s voice, bolstered by an immense magical power, echoed throughout the city.
Upon hearing the princess’s voice, many of the populace felt as if they saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.
Especially the civilians who had experienced the Frenzy Ceremony, they could not help being moved to tears.
This half month has been a nightmare for the inhabitants of Forest City.
Many were unwittingly dragged into the Frenzy Ceremony and met their untimely end. In just a short half month, countless lives were lost. Those who were lucky enough to survive the ceremony were either left permanently disabled or deeply traumatized.
Then, Forest City was hit by the unprecedented shockwave, causing the destruction of over half the city,
A month ago, Forest City was the Empire’s second largest city with a population close to 500,000; after these two calamities, the city’s population may be less than 100,000.
80% of the people died in this uprising.
People struggled painfully in this nightmare, not knowing when they could awaken.
Now, hearing Alyssa’s voice was like a beam of light in the darkest moment before dawn, illuminating every person’s heart.
They suddenly felt that as long as Alyssa was in Forest City, there was still hope, hope for the Empire too!
Many of the populace were sobbing, choking out the words:
“Your Highness, it’s truly a blessing that you are alive!”
“Thank you for avenging the souls of the deceased by killing Xi Fan!”
“Princess, I vow to follow you forever! I hope you can save our homeland.”
The players in the city also continued to assist the victims. Seeing their tear-streaked faces, the players were deeply moved, and their eyes could not help but well up with tears.
The players were reminded of the real world, where many cities would likely face devastating calamities like Forest City after massive invasions by the Skuru people.
At the same time, the players also thought of “that man”. There was this one man, who with his own power, helped mankind capture two Spiritual Spring Eyes. Now, this man’s territory has been promoted to a city, and in the future, he will be the first high-ranking powerhouse among mankind.
If Alyssa represented the hope of the people of Forest City, then that man was undoubtedly the hope of the humans of Blue Star!
The players paused from their work and looked in the direction of Su Yu.
After Alyssa made her announcement, she slowly descended from the sky.
The trio of Sharon exchanged glances and paid their respects to Alyssa.
Roland, the master of the Silver Pine Tower, respectfully said: “Mighty Princess, half a month ago we were bound to join Xi Fan owing to his powerful influence ”
“Enough.” Alyssa waved a hand to interrupt him: “Let bygones be bygones. In consideration of your efforts in thwarting Xi Fan today, I will not hold the past against you.”
Alyssa also wanted to pursue the matter of their betrayal of the Emperor, but now was the time for utilizing assistance, not for assigning blame.
Only after defeating the rebel army would she settle scores with the three of them.
“Thank you, Your Highness, the princess.” The three of them clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
“However, if you have any crooked thoughts again, Hifan’s fate will be yours, understand?” Alyssa warned.
“Understood! Of course, we understand!” The three hurriedly replied.
Now that Hifan was dead and the mission completed, princess’s guard Keerderon was responsible for rewarding the five players who first discovered Hifan.
In the envious eyes of the surrounding players, these players received the rare pet eggs and epic equipment handed over by Keerderon, each with a happy smile on their face.
Princess Alyssa also flew towards the players.
She nodded at these five players with a smile, then landed next to Su Yu: “Nemesis, what kind of reward would you like?”
As she spoke, the princess returned the [Village’s Best Sword] to Su Yu.
Before Su Yu could speak, the surrounding players excitedly interjected: “He wants to be a prince, of course!”
“Your Highness, the Princess, Nemesis intends to be a Royal Prince!”
“Your Highness, the Princess, Boss Ke is rich! If he can become a prince, the military expenses for the coming years will be covered!”
“A prince?” Hearing the shouts of the players, Alyssa was slightly taken aback.
She blushed slightly and quickly waved her hand: “No, a prince can only be granted after I come of age. Now is not the time.”
When Su Yu heard the players say that he was rich, he remembered something – he had promised Kevin Forsythia that he would give the 16 million spiritual energy coins he had earned in the Orleans City’s grand arena to Alyssa for military funds.
Now it’s time for him to make good on his promise since Alyssa has broken free from Hifan’s control.
Su Yu took out a black magic crystal card from his bag, entered 16 million into it, and handed it to Alyssa: “Alyssa, this is the military fund I promised the guardian deity, you keep it.”
“Thank you, Nemesis!” Alyssa was also aware of the matter of 16 million, and she readily accepted the money.
“Ding, [Princess Alyssa’s] fondness for you +1.”
“Seeing as you’ve given these 16 million, I will reward you with something good!” The princess was slightly in a better mood and said with a smile.
“Ding, [Honor of the Forsythia empire (40/100)] has been completed, you have received a reward: Experience Points x26000, [Fragment of Hifan’s Soul] x1.”
Alyssa took out a metal container that sealed Hifan, performed a spell, and gave the obtained black-purple crystal to Su Yu.
