Wing God was far more surprised than anyone else. If she was not mistaken, her family could trace its lineage back to the Ming Dynasty, supposedly being descendants of the royal family of the Great Ming. Who would have thought that this ancient ancestor was actually still alive?!

“Recorded is good.” Su Yu nodded: “After the siege, you post the video on the official forum, and then go find the forum administrator in my name. Have the admin pin it to the top of the forum.”

“Understood!”

“Right, when does the monster siege begin?” Su Yu didn’t forget to mention the main point.

Wing God glanced at the mission countdown: “In 11 minutes and 12 seconds.”

“11 minutes…..is enough!” Su Yu instructed: “Wing God, you command in the general chat immediately, have all the players distributed evenly throughout the city in groups of 5. Do not congregate on the city wall.”

“Disperse?” Wing God did not understand why Su Yu would say this.

“Correct.” Su Yu explained: “Before territory promotion to the [City] stage, the sieges faced are simple monsters and NPC forces; after being promoted to [City] stage, they will face invasions from the Void Plane.”

“At that time, the creatures of the Void Plane will set up [spatial portals] in every corner of the city, allowing their kindred to attack from the portals. This is why we have to set up defenses in all sectors of the city.”

“Understood, I will issue that command right now.” Wing God replied.

“Hmm.” Su Yu nodded, looking at everyone at the top of the tower: “Alright, everyone, get to work! This siege is up to you all, if you encounter anything unsurmountable, remember to notify me!”

Sky Dragon noticed the intent in Su Yu’s words, questioning, “Starbreaker, aren’t you staying to participate in this siege?”

“I won’t need to, with such strong teammates like you all I am assured.” Su Yu smiled: “I have to make a quick trip to the Imperial Capital Goldfinch City, to report my safety to Queen Alise.”

“Humph! Just as I suspected.” Sky Dragon turned away huffily, crossing his arms. Men really are all the same! Eyeing other pots while eating from their own.

Su Yu scratched his head awkwardly, bade everyone goodbye, and then activated the portal to Goldfinch City.

…

After only a brief transfer, Su Yu successfully arrived at Goldfinch City.

Once in place, he rapidly soared skywards, flying towards the royal palace to the north.

During the flight, Su Yu also surveyed the Goldfinch City area below.

He had been away from Goldfinch City for 10 days, which translated to a full four months in game time.

In these four months, the majority of the buildings in Goldfinch city underwent renovation and reconstruction, presenting a completely reborn look.

The faces of the NPC residents on the streets were filled with smiles, living very happily.

Arriving at the palace entrance, he licensed his identity to the guards. Not long after, Keerderon, having received the news, ran out to greet him.

“Master Nemesis, you have finally returned! His Majesty will certainly be overjoyed to hear of your return!” In the waiting room at the entrance to the royal palace, Keerderon came over excitedly and bowed respectfully with his hands crossed over his chest.

“It has been a long time, Keerderon.” Su Yu nodded in a superior manner, standing up from his seat. “How is Her Majesty, the Queen?”

At this moment, Morning Star jumped out of the pet space, urging, “Don’t bother asking about ‘how is’, and instead actually go see her.”

During Su Yu’s earlier speech on the city wall, Morning Star had, this entire time, been hiding in the pet space as she did not want to have too much communication with the other players. Now that Su Yu had arrived at the palace, she took the initiative to come out of the pet space.

Keerderon, being quick with his cues, said: “Master Nemesis, let me escort you to Her Majesty now. She is currently in the hall discussing matters with the ministers.”

“Alright, lead the way.” Su Yu nodded, following Keerderon into the deeper parts of the royal palace.

…

Meanwhile, in the grand hall of the royal palace.

The Queen of the Goldfinch, Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum, was seated atop the high throne, discussing the war on the front lines with the ministers below.

“Kelly, does the logistics supply on the front lines still hold up recently?” Alice Jie asked one of the female ministers below.

The woman called “Kelly” was actually Kelly Delaney, the Deputy Minister of Logistics for the Goldfinch Army.

Kelly Delaney was originally Tina Garcia’s gear strengthening master. The gear which she strengthened significantly increased Tina’s power, allowing her to defeat many opponents.

After Tina became the captain of the Unicorn Knights, she executed the fat and corrupt quartermasters within the ranks and invited Kelly Delaney to take the position.

Without much thinking, Kelly Delaney readily accepted Tina’s request.

Later, with Tina’s continuous military success, Kelly Delaney kept getting promoted as her subordinate, eventually reaching the high position of “Deputy Minister of Logistics for the Imperial Army”.

Hearing Her Majesty’s words, Kelly Delaney quickly stood up and saluted Alice Jie: “According to Minister Clent’s magical communication yesterday afternoon, most of the army’s supplies have already run out. The food supply is particularly dire, even if we only distribute one third of the normal amount to the soldiers every day, we can only last, at most, two more months.”

“Is that so?” The complexion of Alice Jie became ashen.

Victory was in sight, with the Imperial Army about to repel the invaders Lai Yin and Wind Chime from the western mainland. Who could have imagined that at this crucial moment, food would run out first?

Soldiers with empty bellies naturally have no fighting spirit to speak of. Was she to watch the imminent victory slip through her fingers?

“Kelly, is there any other method …”

“I am sorry, Your Majesty, whatever ways and methods we could think of, we have exhausted. As long as there is the slightest other option, I would inform you at the first opportunity.” Kelly hung her head in shame.

“Sigh!” Alice Jie let out a deep sigh, removed her heavy crown and held it in her arms, falling silent.

All the ministers underneath the platform also fell silent.

At this moment, the Empire had truly run out of food supply.

Not only had the granaries emptied, the spare food in the hands of the common folks had also been mostly sent to the front lines. All of the officials had answered Alice Jie’s call to eat only two meals a day in order to conserve food.

If they wanted more food, they would have to forcefully take the food that the common folk lived off of, which was certainly unacceptable.

It seemed that in this war, they were not far from defeat!

“Bu Wanjia.” Alice Jie called gently.

“Your Majesty!” The Deputy Marshal of the Empire, Bu Wanjia, came out and kneeled on one knee before Alice Jie.

“Inform Marshal Aganzuo, have him pause the march. I will soon head to Haiyan City, to negotiate peace with the two empires.”

“Your Majesty…”

“You have a better idea?”

“N…no.”

“Then do as I say.”

Exhausted, Alice Jie leaned back onto the throne, her face showing hints of fatigue.

Just as she did, she spotted a familiar figure in a blue mage robe walking into the hall from the big entrance. On the man’s shoulder, perch a small cat in blue and white stripes.
