Chapter 308: 308, The Big Clean-up Begins (Additional Update)_1
The instant Zackley was killed, all of the high-ranking powerhouses in Haiyan City sensed the incident at the Sea Serpent Castle.
Shortly, dozens of figures, flashing various colors of light, rapidly ascended to the sky, with a substantial amount of spiritual energy probing towards Cecilia, this energy gathered around her body like a material substance.
There were a total of 83 high-ranking powerhouses, led by Mosby Gesang, the venerated ancestor of the Gesang family.
Mosby was an old seventh level legend, and also the protector of the Hill Federation.
He was a Mage by profession, a bit similar in appearance to Antondidas and also sported a long beard that reached his belt, holding a magic staff taller than a man.
At this moment, a large amount of ice elements had gathered at the top of his magic staff, ready to launch, as he coldly looked at Cecilia: “Cecilia Nightblade, why did you invade our territory at night and capture our national leader?”
“Heh, you guys take a look at this!”
Cecilia took out a Magic Image Stone from her Space Ring, enlarged the just-confiscated letter through the stone, and projected it onto the clouds below.
Seeing that Cecilia was about to publicize the letter, Dreyk immediately began struggling strenuously.
“So annoying!” Cecilia raised her dagger and with a “bang”, hit Dreyk on the head with the handle of the dagger. Dreyk was instantly knocked unconscious.
The high-level powerhouses of Haiyan City unanimously looked at the reflected image of the letter on the cloud below.
After confirming that it was Dreyk’s handwriting and seeing clearly the contents of the letter, these powerhouses fell silent, their momentum greatly diminished.
Dreyk’s actions were undoubtedly a barefaced betrayal to the suzerain state.
Now the suzerain state comes to settle the accounts, and they have become the wrong party.
When Cecilia had killed Zackley just now, she knew she would be exposed.
So at that time, she used the special skill of the assassin’s career [Secret Contact] to send a message to Su Yu.
Now, the figures of Su Yu and two seventh-level, 23 sixth-level powerhouses have already appeared on the horizon.
Sensing the arrival of so many powerhouses, the expressions of Haiyan City’s powerhouses changed dramatically.
So many powerhouses had silently arrived on their turf, and they hadn’t noticed it at all!
They feared they were in big trouble this time!
Mosby Gesang looked gravely at these powerhouses of Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum, and in his heart, huge waves were rolling as he prepared to escape.
The enemy had brought three seventh-level powerhouses! How could he possibly win against three with one?
But he still steeled himself and asked, “Your Excellency Roland, Your Excellency Cecilia, Your Excellency Vanst, for what reason have the three of you come to our federation?”
Roland and the others didn’t answer him, but looked behind them instead.
In the middle of the main body of the team behind them, a young man was using the [Flight Skill] to follow the team in flight. (Roland had bestowed the [Flight Skill] upon him.)
Noticing the gazes of Roland and the others, this young man slowly stopped in mid-air and looked solemnly at Mosby Gesang in front of him: “Your Excellency Mosby, hello, I am Nemesis, the other-worldly adventurer, and also the emissary of Princess Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum.”
“You’re Nemesis?” Mosby Gesang was slightly surprised.
He had heard Nemesis’s name several times before, knowing that the victory of Orleans City in the imperial battle had depended almost entirely on Su Yu summoning Bernina.
He had changed the Golden Chrysanthemum!
He hadn’t expected to see the real person today.
“Your Excellency Mosby.” Su Yu paid him a Mage’s salute: “Over the past 30 years, your country has sided with the Cartel rebels, not contributing a single spiritual energy coin tribute to the royal family, and Princess Golden Chrysanthemum is very dissatisfied with this. Now Princess Golden Chrysanthemum orders us to recover the losses of the empire, do you think it’s reasonable?”
Su Yu finished speaking and waved his hand slightly.
A giant transportation magic circle lit up in the middle of the largest square in Haiyan City.
Antondidas led ten thousand players to teleport from the outskirts of Sea Salt Town.
When the teleporting light disappeared, Su Yu loudly said to the players below:
“Everyone, follow the plan and go to the castles and estates of the major families in the city for investigation. Take anything valuable, and call the nearest Sanctuary powerhouses for help if there is any resistance.”
“Got it, Boss Ke.”
“Alright, Prince Ke.”
“Understood, husband of the Marshal.”
The players answered in agreement.
The 23 Sanctuary powerhouses beside Su Yu immediately dispersed according to the plan and spread out in the air above the entire city area, watching any movement within the city area.
Seeing the actions of Su Yu and his group, the high-level powerhouses of Haiyan City instantly understood.
This was a robbery!
This was an outright robbery!
But they had no choice.
Roland and Vanst were now fully primed, and some of the slightly weaker fifth-tier powerhouses in the sky were even suffocated and couldn’t breathe.
Faced with this level of pressure, what else can they do besides surrender willingly?
Meanwhile, Roland was happy to see the enemy not resist. He watched these people with a smile on his face: “Everyone, there’s no need to be too panicked. After our people have taken what they want, I will have them leave.”
“Wanted items? Are they our properties?” A fifth level warrior of Haiyan City asked aloud.
“What if I don’t want to give up my property…”
Bang!
The warrior had only spoken half of what he was saying when he exploded into a cloud of blood in the sky.
The other powerhouses of Haiyan City shuddered and quickly swallowed the words they wanted to say.
“Such a chatterbox.” Roland shook his head disdainfully, looking at Mosby Gesang: “Mosby, control your people not to move around, or the consequences will be the same as this person!”
Mosby Gesang weighed the pros and cons quickly in his heart, finally sighed, and said to the people around him: “Everyone, do not act rashly. Money can be earned again, but if a man dies, he loses everything.”
The other high-ranking powerhouses nodded in agreement, all of them hovering in the air, daring not to move.
Cecilia, on the other hand, glanced at Dreyk who she was holding in her hand.
Then she raised her dagger and with a swift motion, Dreyk’s head was immediately separated from his body.
Cecilia discarded Dreyk’s two halves disdainfully and looked at Mosby Gesang with a smile: “Your Excellency Mosby, your chairman here colluded secretly with the Lai Yin Empire, and the evidence is conclusive. He has been executed by me now, do you have any objections?”
Mosby Gesang:
His heart was filled with raging anger.
Since he became a seventh-level powerhouse, he had never been provoked like this!
First it was Roland, then Cecilia…
But how could he be angry about it?
He turned his head away, pretending he hadn’t heard.
So there they were, the high-ranking powerhouses of Haiyan City trapped in mid-air by Cecilia and her companions.
The players, according to the plan, were divided into groups of 50, and in an orderly manner, they “visited” all the castles, mansions, and estates of the nobles, taking away everything of value they saw.
And thus, a “Great Sweep” was set in motion.
