Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start-Chapter 858 - 914 Cyclone City
Chapter 858: 914, Cyclone City
Chapter 858: 914, Cyclone City
Five days after the game time had passed, it was in Cyclone City.
The inhabitants of Cyclone City were not human, and in fact, humans could not survive for long in such an environment with low pressure and strong air currents.
The majority living here were elemental beings composed of lightning cloud, stone rock, and air elements.
Although they were mere elements and lacked the intelligence of humans, Cyclone City had a mature feudal system. The [King of Cyclone], Ashad, at the pinnacle of the Seventh Order, was the ruler here, governing all elements in the city.
In the heart of Cyclone City, there stood a huge white palace where the city lord, [King of Cyclone] Ashad, resided.
At this moment in the grand hall of the palace, Ashad sat in the main seat, with a dozen differently shaped elements standing at his right hand, discussing some matter.
However, from their tone, one could hear that they were all very anxious.
“Your Majesty,” a stone rock elemental standing to the left of Ashad, its body dark gray with arms reflecting a metallic luster, expressed its worry: “The Quicksand Kingdom has already occupied all our wind channels. It’s likely they will break through next. We must make preparations early, Your Majesty!”
“Heh, are you happy seeing your own kind break in?” a rather slender air elemental on Ashad’s right sneered sarcastically:
“Gegen (the name of the stone rock elemental), according to your idea, should we not just open the city gates wide to welcome the arrival of the King of Quicksand?”
Gegen, the stone rock elemental, instantly became enraged: “Gelink (the name of the air elemental), I have tolerated you for a long time! Let me repeat, our rock elementals have no relation with the sand elementals! Though we may look alike, we are not of the same kind, and there is absolutely no connection!”
“No connection?” The air elemental Gelink laughed, “Aren’t you all just clumps of dirt? Smelly and hard.”
“You!…”
“Alright, alright.” Seeing his subordinates starting to quarrel again, the King of Cyclone Ashad was getting a headache.
He scolded, “With a formidable enemy before us, can you put aside your grievances and focus on confronting the external foe?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The two elements, chastened, quickly responded.
“Sigh,” Ashad shook his head heavily.
Time passed, and he said to the elements present, “Regarding this major invasion by the Quicksand Kingdom, what we need most is to be prepared and repel their invasion!”
He turned to the air elemental Gelink, “Gelink, how many troops do we still have in our hands?”
“Your Majesty…” Gelink appeared somewhat guilty: “We have over 5000 troops, and nearly a hundred strong ones above the Fifth Rank… But Your Majesty, our army’s strength is less than even one-tenth of Quicksand Kingdom’s, and all our critical wind channels have been taken over by them. In my opinion…”
Gelink stopped speaking and did not continue.
However, those present could easily guess that what Gelink wanted to suggest was probably—”Let’s just surrender!”
Hearing Gelink’s words, Gegen immediately became spirited.
Waving its huge stone fists, it angrily retorted, “Just now, you accused me of being a traitor, but now it seems that you are the real traitor! You shameless thing!”
Gegen turned its head toward Ashad, fuming: “Your Majesty, if you ask me, we should fight a battle against the Quicksand Kingdom! Our troops are warriors who can take on ten, a hundred foes each, we need to teach Quicksand Kingdom a harsh lesson!”
“Your approach is the most unwise choice!” The air elemental Gelink retorted sharply, “With the wind channels taken, we have completely lost the initiative and even lost the ability to communicate with the outside world. The Quicksand Kingdom doesn’t even need to lift a finger; simply besieging us could starve us to death!
Your suggestion is oblivious to the current state of affairs, disregarding the lives of thousands of soldiers!”
“You!… Your Majesty…”
“Alright, alright.” The King of Cyclone Ashad interrupted them with a headache.
In fact, both Gegen and Gelink made sense.
The situation was indeed very unfavorable for them, but Ashad was not willing to surrender without a fight.
…
Just as Ashad did not know what to do, a voice suddenly appeared in the hall, “Why don’t you listen to me? I can help you win this war.”
Immediately after, a human dressed in a colorful mage robe dispelled [Invisibility Skill] and teleported to the very center of the hall.
That was, of course, Su Yu.
The elements in the hall were startled, instinctively retreating to the surrounding areas at once.
After retreating, many of them immediately started conjuring spells, preparing to focus their attacks on Su Yu, the intruder.
But Su Yu remained motionless, standing on the spot with a smile, watching King of Quicksand, Ashad.
Ashad sensed that Su Yu was an entity of equal standing, and that Su Yu had no intention of initiating an attack.
Thus, he released a gust of wind, interrupting the elements who were casting spells in the hall.
He signalled his subordinates not to act rashly, and then looked at Su Yu, “Esteemed guest, may I know who you are? What brings you to Cyclone City?”
With a smile, Su Yu replied, “I am an inter-realm adventurer, the strongest among adventurers. My name is ‘Nemesis’.
I have come here to help Cyclone City shatter the conspiracy of the Quicksand Kingdom’s invasion and to win this war for you.”
“Oh?” Ashad’s interest was piqued upon hearing Su Yu’s words.
The elements of Cyclone City had some encounters with “inter-realm adventurers,” and they all had high regard for them.
They knew that for a very low reward, these adventurers would run errands far and wide, all the while being dutiful and hardworking.
They also had heard the name “Nemesis”; many inter-realm adventurers often discussed him, although they had never seen him.
Without a doubt, Su Yu, who did not conceal his aura, was a Seventh Order peak top-tier power.
If he sincerely joined them, it would be a major boon for their side!
Even if they were to surrender, now they would have more bargaining chips.
The King of Quicksand, Ashad was a shrewd elemental, and he was very aware that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Su Yu coming to offer assistance meant he definitely had an ulterior motive.
“So, Mr. Nemesis, what kind of compensation do we need to offer?” Ashad got straight to the point.
Gelink, the Air elemental standing beside, became anxious upon hearing this.
If Su Yu joined Cyclone City and they won the war, how would it obtain the benefits promised by the King of Quicksand? Wouldn’t it have given away the twelve wind passages to the Quicksand Kingdom for nothing?

Therefore, it hastily interjected, “Your Majesty, don’t trust him! Inter-realm adventurers are all swindlers. He may very well be sent by the King of Quicksand to deceive your trust and then assassinate you…”
Boom!
Gelink had not finished speaking when it was struck by one of Ashad’s [Air Gun] spells, sending it flying out of the grand hall.
Su Yu paid no attention to this little interlude and declared loudly, “What I require is no ordinary thing—a Seventh Order legendary grade [Cyclone Core]. I will put forth all my efforts to help you win this war!”
