Chapter 19

"Empress of Light, please take me as your disciple and make me an Empress!"

With a loud cry, Bai Bai Xiaowei fell to the ground in a bow.

This sudden action

startled Elodie, her usually calm face now showing a peculiar expression.

"Cough, cough…"

Su Yu started coughing violently, choking on his food.

This Bai Bai Xiaowei really is…

At least she's a lord. What are you doing bowing to my hero?

Su Yu's neck turned red with embarrassment,

Bai Bai Xiaowei's behavior was lowering the status of a lord,

and he wondered if it would affect his image in Silvia and Elodie's eyes.

Gurgling sounds…

came from her stomach, and Bai Bai Xiaowei looked up with a sheepish smile.

"Let's eat first, let's eat first."

Su Yu quickly broke the awkward atmosphere.

After the meal, Bai Bai Xiaowei patted her full, round belly and lay contentedly on the chair.

"I don't want to move anymore, I'm going to sleep, good night…"

She mumbled, closing her eyes.

"Thank you, Great Su Yu…"

This girl.

Su Yu shook his head and carried Bai Bai Xiaowei to the bed in the Hero Hall.

…

The next day.

Su Yu, holding Silvia, woke up early.

[Because you were restless while sleeping, Silvia's loyalty +3, current loyalty: 89.]

The territory prompt sounded, indicating that Silvia had woken up.

He guiltily pulled his hand back.

…

Today was the fifth day, and Su Yu was full of energy,

because Silvia had reached level 10, and Elodie was at level 7.

"Let's go, to subdue the Dark Flame Dragon!" He stood on the mountain top, shouting down to the others.

"Just, just the four of us?"

"Great Su Yu, do you really have no troops?"

Bai Bai Xiaowei was very timid.

"What do you mean by the four of us?"

"Do we two have any combat power?"

"It's them two, okay."

Su Yu's words made Bai Bai Xiaowei look at Silvia and Elodie in surprise.

She knew that Silvia might be a legendary hero.

But even if Elodie was also a legendary hero,

attacking a level 15 epic leader would still be a suicide mission!

Although they were very pretty, being pretty doesn't equate to strength, right?

"Great Su Yu, a level 15 epic leader probably has 1000 combat power…"

Bai Bai Xiaowei said weakly.

"So what?" Su Yu strode forward, with Silvia and Elodie guarding him on either side.

What does "so what" mean?

Do you understand what 1000 combat power means?!

It can easily destroy half a city!

A ten-kilometer territory could be flattened!

Su Yu's nonchalance left Bai Bai Xiaowei speechless.

Is it confidence or ignorance?

Bai Bai Xiaowei was at a loss.

If it were anyone else,

Bai Bai Xiaowei would have mocked the other person's ignorance without hesitation.

But this person was Su Yu.

She knew that Su Yu was not an ignorant person,

so there was only one other option left,

confidence.

Looking at the buildings and arrow towers in the territory,

Bai Bai Xiaowei walked, her steps gradually becoming light.

She also gained confidence.

Although facing a level 15 epic leader, such confidence was absurd,

but Su Yu had given her confidence.

……

Sylph's "Gale Blessing" was cast on everyone,

and the four of them moved swiftly, leaping several meters with each step.

Even with Su Yu and Bai Bai Xiaowei as burdens,

the group arrived near Bai Bai Xiaowei's territory in just two hours.

"It took me a whole day to get here yesterday."

Bai Bai Xiaowei marveled, under the effect of "Gale Blessing,"

running 50 kilometers without sore legs or numb feet, feeling incredibly comfortable.

As expected of a legendary hero!

This kind of skill is truly convenient and satisfying.

In the lush green valley, weeds grew profusely,

with sparse trees, each one standing alone every few dozen meters, looking quite lonely.

A black dragon lay in the valley, sound asleep.

As an epic leader,

it had never moved since descending here.

No reckless beasts dared to approach it.

Within a radius of several thousand meters, except for Bai Bai Xiaowei's territory, no living creature could be seen.

It kept its eyes closed, with its wings drawn in,

and even its breath scorched the ground in front of it.

Its coiled body was already ten meters high,

clearly surpassing a small house.

One could only imagine how majestic it would look when fully stretched out.

Finally,

the overly close mythical aura woke it up.

Its crimson eyes shone with a captivating luster.

A dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth.

The two spectators, Su Yu and Bai Bai Xiaowei, hastily retreated.

They had come here to witness an epic-level boss monster,

and if they were caught in the crossfire and accidentally died, it would all be for nothing.

Bai Bai Xiaowei was still okay; her territory was nearby, and she still had a chance to see the epic battle.

But if Su Yu died and returned to his territory, he would have no such opportunity.

"Your territory is going to be wiped clean..."

Su Yu, seeing the massive dragon rise to its feet,

knew that the battle might affect an area of several miles around.

"I've already sent my hero to lead the troops and peasants to safety."

Tears welled up in Bai Bai Xiaowei's eyes.

Although it was the newbie protection period,

during the seven days of newbie protection, only the lord's crystal, troop buildings, and the hero hall were invincible.

Any other building could be destroyed.

Her hard-earned, frugal farmhouses, trading posts, and arrow defense towers,

would surely be lost in the fight.

It was already the fifth day,

and the newbie protection was about to end.

All new lords would soon face the test of the monster wave.

The monster wave would arrive at dusk on the seventh day.

"Great Su Yu, you must help me defend against the monster wave."

Bai Bai Xiaowei's voice carried a hint of sobs.

"Mm."

Su Yu nodded.

He also knew that asking Bai Bai Xiaowei to rebuild a territory capable of withstanding the monster wave within two days

was indeed too much to ask.

Moreover, her troops were non-combatant support units—nuns.

"Whoosh—!"

An arrow zipped through the air, carried by the wind at high speed.

At this moment, the wind surrounding the arrow took on a color.

Green wind, carrying immense power, infused into the arrow.

"Bang!"

With a clear sound, the arrowhead pierced the black dragon scales.

Sylph had taken the initiative to attack.

The dragon's roar shook the wilderness, and the battle began instantly.

The wind pressure made it hard for Su Yu to keep his eyes open,

and the deafening roar completely robbed him of his hearing.

He and Bai Bai Xiaowei lay in the grass,

and their experience watching this epic battle was extremely poor.

"Before I have any cultivation, I shouldn't get involved in such things."

Su Yu smiled bitterly.

He had originally wanted to broaden his horizons,

but he found that level was far beyond his reach.

Even if it stood right in front of him, it would be hard for him to even take a look.

……

With light as the sword and wind as the arrow, slay the [Dark Flame Dragon] here.
