Chapter 546: 543, The Next Target - Macaque Tribe_1
Could “Azerite” really have severe side effects as Su Yu claimed?
If there were indeed strong side effects, their invasion of the Pandamen Empire would be completely futile. They could neither get the Azerite nor seize much territory.
But could Su Yu possibly be lying to them?
Legolas, on the surface, was chatting with Su Yu, but his mind was full of doubts.
After about two minutes of struggling, he made up his mind to trust Su Yu.
After all, Su Yu had done a great favor to the Elf Race, and he didn’t want to go against Su Yu’s wishes.
Moreover, he believed in Su Yu’s prophecy. If Su Yu was lying to him, at worst it would offset the gratitude, and they would no longer owe Su Yu any favors.
Su Yu also noticed that Legolas had made up his mind.
So he stopped the casual conversation and spoke loudly, “I came here this time hoping that the Elf Race could withdraw from this war, leave the Allied Forces of the Eight Races, leave the Pandamen Continent, and not make enemies with the Pandamen.”
At the same time, he looked at Master Chen Sheng, “If the Elf Race can really do this, I hope we can turn from enemies to friends, letting them leave the Pandamen Continent. What do you think?”
Master Chen Sheng was slightly stunned.
He exchanged glances with the surrounding Pandamen and nodded in agreement.
Of course, if the Elf Race could leave the Pandamen now, it would be a great relief. After all, the Pandamen frontline was stretched thin, so how could they refuse to let the Elf Race leave?
The Elves of the Magic Legion and the Archer Legion below, however, found Su Yu’s request unreasonable.
They had traveled far to the Pandamen Empire, assembling, training, and fighting in formation, all in order to gain “Azerite” and a piece of overseas forest.
Now Su Yu demanded them to withdraw and leave the Pandamen Continent as soon as he arrived. Was it possible? Even if he had done favors for the Pandamen, he shouldn’t make such demands of them, right?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
But what the Elves didn’t expect was that as soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Legolas answered without hesitation, “No problem, we will withdraw our troops immediately!”
Turning around, he looked at the high-ranking Elves behind him and the Elf army below, and announced, “I now declare – out of respect for Your Excellency Ke. We, the Elf Race, will withdraw from the Eight Races alliance and leave the Pandamen Continent for the Elf Forest starting from today.”
Upon finishing, he ignored the Elves who were dumbfounded, and with the high-ranking Elves, descended into the great army below.
The players, especially those from the Elf Race camp, were so shocked they couldn’t speak.
Boss Ke arrived and the Regent King decided to retreat after a few words? Wasn’t this battle fought in vain?
Many players felt heartbroken. The contribution to the Elf camp that they had earned for a while was now about to evaporate!
However, those heartbroken players quickly felt relieved when they heard the game prompt:
“Ding, the [Elf Race] camp withdraws from the [Eight-Race Alliance] camp. All players holding contributions of the [Elf Race] camp may exchange them fairly for contributions from other races within the alliance.”
“Ding, the [Gale Gorge Battle] at the Mantis Plateau has been interrupted for special reasons. Each participating player can receive a full reward of contribution value and military merits from the [Eight-Race-Alliance] camp.”
Upon receiving these two game prompts, the players turned from worry to joy, discussing in an effusive mood:
“Thank goodness, we can still get the contribution value and military merits.”
“That was close, we almost fought the battle for nothing.”
“But Boss Ke is really awesome. In just a few words, he made the Elf Race retreat.”
“Plus the withdrawal of the Mantis Demons and the Mogu Clan, Boss Ke alone has helped the Pandamen turn around the war situation considerably.”
Master Chen Sheng and other Pandamen also gratefully said to Su Yu, “Your Excellency Ke, thank you very much for your help. We didn’t expect the Elf Race to listen to you so much, they withdrew as soon as you appeared.”
“You’re welcome. This is what I should do. I promised His Majesty Shaohao to help the Pandamen Empire alleviate the war pressure, and this is just one of the things I’m doing,” Su Yu politely replied.
Then he turned his head and looked in the east direction, saying to the Pandamen, “I have to go now. I am heading to the next stop. Goodbye, everyone!”
“Goodbye!”
…
After the Elves retreated, as Su Yu predicted, his task [Keeping the Country Safe through Martial Acts] greatly increased, skyrocketing from “100%” to “170”!
Dealing with the Elves was much simpler than dealing with the Mantis Demons and the Mogu Clan. He only needed to move his lips to get a 70% task progress.
But Su Yu didn’t stop there. He wanted to continue to find some “easy targets” to squeeze out, further expanding his military achievements.
Upon careful thought, Su Yu found that among the remaining seven races, there was no particularly easy target, they were basically all tough cookies like human orcs.
After recalling the content of the third expansion from his previous life, his eyes brightened after two minutes of memory!
Because he thought of a race that was suited for him to deal with – the macaques!
The macaques lived in the primeval rainforest to the east of Pandamen Continent. Apart from resembling the gorillas on Blue Star, their numbers were much larger, with millions of them, and their fur was brown.
Because of their low IQ, the macaques didn’t form kingdoms like the Mantis Demons did, but gathered in the form of a primitive tribe instead.
However, a low IQ doesn’t mean weak strength.
There were many high-ranking beings in the macaque tribe, possessing many artifacts. The king of the macaques was even a seventh-tier powerhouse, even Su Yu was not sure he could deal with him.
The macaque tribe often emerged from the primeval rainforest to raid the Pandamen villages, stealing large amounts of food and other valuables.
The Pandamen were stretched thin in terms of manpower. Now that a large number of personnel were transferred from the macaque front to the Mantis Plateau, the civilians were suffering from the macaques, almost facing starvation at home.
If he could eliminate a large number of macaques and help the Pandamen stabilize their rear, the task progress bar would definitely rise.
Moreover, he had eight slots for 10,000-player small-scale battlefield campaigns, all of which could now be used on the macaques!
…
As soon as he decided, Su Yu immediately posted on the official forum, calling for 80,000 players to jointly attack the macaque tribe.
In fact, Su Yu could have recruited only players from the top 100 guilds for these 80,000 players.
The players from the big guilds were strong, had teamwork, and the final task completion degree would definitely be higher, at least better than the fish-and-dragon mix from indiscriminate recruitment.
However, considering the factor of “fairness”, Su Yu ended up deciding to post on the official forum and use a first-come-first-served method to assign the task.
Although the strength of the recruited players was mixed, this avoided resentment among the players and certainly was a good thing for the unity of mankind.
