Chapter 87 The Battle Royale Ends

The tunnel behind her was collapsing rapidly, and Lan Yue was moving faster and faster. Her face was full of determination.

The reminder sound of Paradise sounded again a dozen seconds ago, and Gao Lei also died one after another. In less than a minute, two of the three team members who stayed outside the tunnel to cover died. She could roughly guess what happened outside.

Even though she knew that she would probably die if she went back, she still went without hesitation.

As long as Xiaoxue was not dead, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she had to rush back. At least, she had rescued a team member.

She had said before that she would take them out safely, and she did not completely break her promise. She rescued the fat boy Han Guang.

While running, she could see the fire in front of her. She had arrived, and the exit was right in front of her. Lan Yue did not hesitate at all. The soil under her feet surged, and a stone pillar rose from under her feet, pushing her out of the tunnel.

After jumping out of the tunnel, Lan Yue's brain just adapted to the sudden change of environment, and a brown giant bear flew past her eyes. The giant bear was covered with blood and gaps, and its two paws were missing, and the broken surface was bloody.

"Xiaoxue!"

With a cry of surprise, Lan Yue flashed and quickly approached the giant bear that was about to fall to the ground. Finally, she caught the giant bear with the surging mud before it fell to the ground, preventing the secondary damage of falling to the ground.

"Very good, it's finally out."

A cold voice came from the front. Lan Yue looked up and saw that the speaker was a strong figure holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, looking at them as if they were cattle and sheep.

"It's you."

Lan Yue laughed bitterly. When she saw this person in Kaidra Town, she vaguely felt that the two sides would face off in the imperial capital, but she didn't expect that her side would be almost completely destroyed by the other side, and the entire outer city's contractors would be buried with him.

Xu Yue looked coldly at the man and the bear in front of him. Although the giant bear was tough, it would not hold him back for so long.

He had not completely killed it just to wait for the earth mage in the tunnel to come out. As for going deep underground to fight an earth mage, he was not arrogant enough.

Now that the other party had come out, he was not going to waste time. The smoke and dust exploded under his feet, and Xu Yue turned into a silver shadow and rushed forward.

Facing the rushing Xu Yue, Lan Yue first stabbed the last green potion in the space into the heart of the giant bear, let the soil take the giant bear away, and then pressed his hands on the ground and lifted it up fiercely.

Suddenly, dense earth spikes rose from the ground, blocking Xu Yue's vision, and the sharp tips of the earth spikes also stabbed all over his body.

Xu Yue's sprinting steps did not stop at all. With the swing of Fang Tian Hua Ji, the earth spikes in front of him were all crushed into powder. In the rolling dust, he broke through the fog, but what he saw was not the previous opponent, but a row of overwhelming earth waves pressing down.

The earth waves touched the ground, and the whole courtyard was trembling under this heavy pressure. Xu Yue's figure disappeared after the big waves pressed down, leaving only a huge bulge in the original place.

There was a commotion among the members of the Knights who were watching the battle in the distance. Several impatient knights had already grabbed their spears and were ready to rush up to rescue, but they were stopped by the leading cavalry.

"Just watch, this trick can't do anything to Chief Xinhuo. Our mission is to prevent them from escaping again."

Behind the earth mound, Lan Yue was soaked, and her eyes were full of bloodshot. The move that sealed Xu Yue just now had almost overdrawn her mental strength.

Enduring the severe pain from her head, she gritted her teeth and prepared to activate the second stage of the skill, causing the earth bag to collapse to crush the existence of the seal inside it. This move was not something she could perform at this stage. The cost of forcibly using it would be either becoming an idiot or brain death. However, in Lan Yue's opinion, it was worth using it on the enemy opposite.

The pain from the brain became more and more intense, and the earth bag in front of her began to collapse. However, when the progress was less than half, a more violent force burst out from the inside. After a tremor, it exploded inside the earth bag like an ammunition, and the whole earth bag exploded.

Xu Yue, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, showed his figure. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he looked at Lan Yue with a more serious look.

"This move is good."

Along with the voice, the long halberd smashed down in the air, and at this time, Lan Yue, who was hit by the skill backlash, had lost all perception of the outside world in pain, and was about to die on the spot.

At this time, a pair of furry arms appeared. The giant bear half-knelt on the ground, and used its arms emitting yellow light to cross Xu Yue's halberd. The crescent blade of the halberd head penetrated deeply into the flesh and was blocked by the arm bone.

Blood dripped onto Lan Yue's head, who was still dazed below, dyeing her black hair bloody. The giant bear raised his eyes from Lan Yue, stared at Xu Yue's purple eyes, and said word by word:

"You! Don't! Think!"

Xu Yue looked at the man and the bear in front of him with a deep sisterly love, and pulled back the halberd in his hand suddenly. The sharp crescent brought up a blood flower. The giant bear groaned. Her arms had been cut in half, leaving only a little flesh and skin.

Xu Yue pulled back the halberd, and after a moment of charging, the halberd stabbed out at a terrifying speed. The halberd tip pierced the airflow and made a sharp whistle. At such a close distance, the man and the bear in front of him had no time to react, and they were pierced through the chest by the halberd one after another.

Wet blood slid down the halberd and covered Xu Yue's silver palm with blood. He drew out the halberd, leaving two large holes that penetrated each other on the chests of the man and the bear in front of him. Xu Yue could even see the scene on the opposite side through this bloody channel.

As a crispy girl, Lan Yue should have died the moment the halberd was inserted, but the thick yellow breath from the giant bear behind her continued to circulate in her chest, allowing her to maintain her life, but she remained motionless, her The brain has been torn from the inside by the rampant mental power.

At this time, the giant bear was at the end of its strength. After consuming a lot of power to protect Lan Yue, she now only had a few breaths left. At the last moment of her life, she did not choose to continue to resist, but gently hugged her body and collapsed. Lan Yue, after a few breaths, the giant bear died, and its huge body shrank into a girl with wheat-colored skin, but its broken arms still tightly hugged the tall woman in front of it.

When the giant bear was dying, Xu Yue did not choose to continue attacking, but quietly watched her die. This was a strong-willed opponent who deserved his respect.

After the giant bear died, the yellow aura on Lan Yue's chest dissipated, and she quickly followed suit. After both of them were dead, Xu Yue turned around and left, and ordered the knights who were following behind him:

"Cut off the heads of those three people and give them to Lord Bescord. As for the tunnel, Elro, let's explore it."

"yes."

The two took the order, and the knight leader led people to search for the remains of the sniper in the ruins of the house. Elro walked to the cave and began to close his eyes to explore. After a few breaths, Elro opened his eyes.

"Sir Xinhuo, the back of the tunnel has completely collapsed."

"Then forget it, just order someone to fill it back."

Xu Yue didn't care much about whether there were contractors in this tunnel who could escape. Since he received this task, he didn't expect to complete it 100%. There were too many strange characters among the contractors.

Just talking about the druid he just killed, if the animal she can transform into is not a large creature like a bear, but a cat, dog, snake, rat, etc., and then she finds a little corner to nest in, then he won't be able to transform at all. There was no other way. The magic of the Sleeping Temple had no effect on animals, and it was impossible for him to spend manpower and material resources catching cats and rats in the future.

After instructing how to deal with the cave, Xu Yue looked at the sky and walked out of the courtyard with his halberd.

"Let's go on."

………

Two hours later, there was some light in the sky, and the long night was coming to an end.

The knights, who were divided into three teams, had regrouped behind Xu Yue, and they brought back with them seven or eight guys who looked like civilians.

This group of people came to surrender on their own initiative. Because they had little fighting power and lacked the smell of blood on their bodies, and they had vowed to meet Commander Xinhuo, Mandel hesitated for a moment before taking them back.

Now this group of people are offering gifts in front of Xu Yue to beg for mercy.

Xu Yue looked at the group of guys who claimed to be workers in front of him, and his eyes passed over the various equipment and the golden paradise savings cards they held in their hands without any fluctuation.

"Want to surrender?"

"Yes, General, we have no fighting power and no threat. We just want to save our lives and are willing to pay any price, even life imprisonment."

An old man walked out from among the workers and bowed respectfully to Xu Yue, with sincere words and a flattering smile.

After Xu Yue listened to the old man's words, he just swept his gray hair lightly, then turned and left. Among the workers in this group, there were either old ones or young ones. There was not even a strong one, which was too deliberate.

"killed."

A cold announcement sounded, and there was blood behind Xu Yue.

‘Paradise, submit the task. ’

[Side mission: Cleaning (94% completed)]

Difficulty level: LV.5

Mission introduction: On behalf of the Holy Heaven military, clear all dangerous factors in the imperial capital before the arrival of the coalition forces.

Mission information: Due to the private actions of some idiots, the empire's tense nerves due to the resurgence of the black dragon were completely stirred up. With the joint approval of the two forces, the Knights of the Guards and the Sleeping Temple, the imperial capital was closed for three days and all those who did not belong to the army were strangled. Contractor of Fang and the church.

Task period: 3 calendar days

Mission reward: Based on the number of contractors killed in the end, the minimum mission requirement is 60% of the number of all contractors in the Imperial City

Mission penalty: Imperial military reputation -80

[The mission completion rate is 94%, which greatly exceeds the minimum mission requirements, yes/no to complete the mission]

Looking at the task completion rate in the paradise prompt, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. This completion rate had exceeded his expectations. As for the remaining 6%, he had led the knights to plow the entire outer city three times. Still nothing.

He didn't think he could gain much from the remaining two days. Instead of wasting it on this blind search, he had more worthwhile things to do.

After the selection is completed, the paradise prompt appears again.

[Rewards obtained: Imperial Baronship, any treasure from the Imperial Capital Secret Treasury and the Temple Secret Treasury, 10,000 merit points]

……………

The imperial capital, Bescord Mansion.

After submitting the task, Xu Yue quickly dismissed Mandel and others, and then let them go back to rest.

He rushed to Bescord's mansion as soon as possible. Apart from changing a piece of clothing along the way, he never went to wash up, and the strong smell of blood still emanated from his body.

In the living room, Beskod was sitting on the main seat, and Xu Yue stood on his lower right hand, stroking his chest respectfully and saluting.

"Lord Bethcord, the mission has been completed."

Bethcod looked at Xu Yue who was filled with the smell of blood and had a faint dark red color in his hair. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The other party's gesture of asking for credit was too eager.

As he was laughing, the vigilance he had felt because of Cook's reminder also dissipated inadvertently. He didn't care if his subordinates had ambitions and desires; this was not a bad thing. Only when they had something to ask for could they be better controlled.

"Thank you for your hard work, Knight of the Flame. I have learned about your performance tonight from Cook. You are decisive and brave. You are indeed a rare general in the empire."

"Lord Bethcode is too kind. I will do my best to serve the imperial capital."

Although Xu Yue was talking about the imperial capital, his eyes were fixed on the man in black clothes with long hair in front of him.

Noticing Xu Yue's eyes, Bethcode's eyes moved slightly, and his sight moved to the three heads on the long table. A thought flashed through his mind.

Cruel and efficient, he is a good knife.

Thoughts were surging in his mind, but his face remained calm, and he still maintained a gentle and smiling expression.

"The Knight of the Flame is loyal to the Empire, I believe it. Sit down. Don't learn from that rigid guy Cook. You don't have to be so reserved when you are not in the army."

Beskod first affirmed Xu Yue's words, then pointed to the seat on his right hand side and asked him to sit down. This meant that he wanted to have a detailed chat, and Xu Yue naturally followed his advice.

But after Xu Yue sat down, he took out an exquisite little box and opened it. Inside was a small gilded medal with a relief of the Holy Heaven engraved on the front.

Beskod pushed the small box in front of Xu Yue and said apologetically.

"This is His Majesty's reward for your actions this time. The Baron Medal should have had a grand awarding ceremony, but because of the black dragon, it had to be delayed. I hope the Knight of the Flame will not mind. This awarding ceremony will be re-held after the black dragon danger is over, and the 5,000-acre baron's territory will be distributed later. Don't worry, I will choose a relatively rich area for you."

Xu Yue hurriedly opened his mouth to thank him.

"Thank you, Lord Bethcode. Xinhuo can have this opportunity mainly because of your appreciation."

Five thousand acres of territory, which is 20 square kilometers in modern times, is equivalent to the area of ​​a town. Such an exaggerated gift was given at will. It is nothing more than Cook and others are devoted to Bethcode. Such courage is indeed worth following.

As for the title that Bethcode said was a reward from His Majesty the King, just listen to it. The king probably doesn't even know how much territory the baron will distribute.

After thanking him, Xu Yue took the medal with a restrained excitement. As soon as the medal was in hand, the paradise prompt popped up.

[You have obtained the Imperial Baron Medal]

[Imperial Baron Medal]

Origin: Dragon Valley, Holy Paradise

Quality: Blue

Type: Precious

Rating: 34

Introduction: A noble medal representing identity and status, a very rare precious item. For civilians, even professionals, it is a treasure that they dream of. This is a class leap and can be sold to Paradise in exchange for a large amount of world source.

Price: 15% world source.

After reading the introduction of the medal, Xu Yue's eyes were obviously more joyful. The territory was of no use to him, but the world source was a real benefit.

The world source of the derivative world is mainly concentrated in important plot characters or key world plots, which maintain the operation of the entire world.

Generally, only by killing important plot characters and changing key plots can a large amount of world source be obtained, but both are not small.

The strength or power of important plot characters is not weak, which requires you to have strong enough strength. As for changing the key plot without authorization, it is even more dangerous. You will never know how much counterattack your small change will bring.

The most typical example is that Lan Yue and her friends intended to discover the monsters' plan to invade the imperial capital in advance, so as to gain benefits from this plot event and enter the vision of the imperial capital's top leaders.

But in the end, it caused a terrifying counterattack by the military to purge the entire imperial capital. This is the consequence of intervening in the plot without authorization, or even changing it. You can never guess where a small move will trigger a tsunami.

Therefore, among so many contractors in the imperial capital, very few actively approached the protagonist group, because they didn't want to die in vain.

Even with Xu Yue's strength, he was cautious not to change too much of the plot after approaching the protagonist group.

Therefore, since he entered the world, he has either been killing monsters or contractors, and he has not obtained too much world source, which is very tempting to him.
