"Oh? The dwarves want peace talks?"
Su Yue watched as Europa began to plunder the routed soldiers and weapons, and he himself gained 8420 lord experience points, which was less than one-tenth of the experience pool needed to upgrade to lord level 5...
"The upgrade difficulty is getting higher and higher..."
Su Yue fell silent for a moment, pondering the Dwarven Empire's choice. Why were they unwilling to go to war with them? Could it be understood that protecting the northern fortress was their top priority?
The secondary task is to clear out nearby players and hostile forces.
indeed.
If Su Yue were one of those dwarves from the northern fortress, he would certainly prioritize resource extraction and defense, with no need to leave his fortress to raid or sweep through the troops below. The natural barrier makes the northern fortress's defenses easy to hold and difficult to attack; the snow-covered mountains and the steep, uphill terrain mean they have no reason to waste troops at the foot of the mountains.
This time, they have probably witnessed their own strength.
I was scared by him...
And at this time.
On the other side, Su Yue suddenly saw a heavily injured griffin licking its feathers and staggering towards him.
"唷!!"
The great griffin was clearly surrounded and attacked; its entire body was covered in cuts and stabs…
"Europa, come quickly and treat him."
Europa rushed over upon hearing the news.
After Europa performed the healing spell, he exclaimed in astonishment, "He has been corrupted by some kind of power."
The Holy Light spell, upon approaching the great griffin, seemed to have no healing effect on the fifth-tier creature; instead, it worsened its injuries! Su Yue noticed that the sticky wounds and feathers were covered in festering sores.
What does this mean?
He temporarily ignored the dwarf's movements and focused intently on the mutated griffin before him. Europa said, "He is transforming into an evil creature... My healing spells have no effect on him... and have even caused him secondary damage."
Everyone knows that the Holy Light Healing spell is extremely lethal to the undead.
Let's call this injured griffin "Little One".
At this moment, the griffin, barely clinging to life, spread its wings. With the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, it crouched repeatedly, its chest heaving like a bellows, stirring up the blood, flags, and fallen leaves on the ground.
"Can it be saved?"
Europa shook his head and said, "I can't..."
At this moment, Ragnar, the Innsmouth scout, said, "Perhaps the Mother Goddess has a way..."
Su Yue said, "Can Lord Id Ya come back here now? He's dying."
As the griffin's health points dwindled, its maximum health of 270 had now dropped to less than 49 points, and it was still in a state of -1, -2, -1.
Ragnar said, "I'll try praying to the Mother Goddess."
Su Yue flipped through the lord's log to find the reason for the mutation, corruption, and depravity of the fifth-tier great griffin: "Your fifth-tier great griffin has been attacked by the magic of the dwarven ghost lord, and the ghost invasion has been activated."
"Your Great Griffin killed the Dwarf Warlock player Ingmar Allen, and was cursed with the death curse of Ingmar Allen."
"Your Great Griffin's health is continuously decreasing."
"curse?"
Ragnar's voice kept coming. You should know that Su Yue can only recruit eight Griffins a week in his territory. As the core deployment in air combat among the three branches of the army, navy and air force, Griffins have a huge role and advantage in reconnaissance and exploration of dense forest terrain.
Having an air force and not having an air force are two completely different concepts. Whether it's reconnaissance or air-to-ground attacks, or the suppression of lower-level units by fifth-tier units, the resulting fear, panic, and morale-damaging effects are no less than those of a catapult... Of course, since Su Yue advanced to intermediate ballistics, the power of his catapults will be even greater.
However, there is no doubt that high-tier units are devastating to the morale of the enemy. Su Yue felt heartbroken even losing a single Tier 5 unit, especially since Europa's resurrection spell still had several hours of cooldown remaining...
If this griffin dies, we'll probably have to wait for Europa's resurrection spell to cool down.
However, the resurrection spell reduces the number of resurrected units of lower-tier units if it only revives Tier 5 units. This caused Su Yue some trouble...
"boom!!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind surged in his vision, and an elegant noblewoman with scarlet nail polish on her fingers stepped out of the portal.
"!!!"
The entire army seemed to be suppressed by the aura of a woman.
This is an Old One from the Cthulhu pantheon...
A Cthulhu-like evil god beyond the ninth rank.
Lady Cthulhu!
"Lord Idya".
Su Yue laughed, and Id Yara looked at him with a hint of joy. Because of the Yellow Seal of the Snail and their faction, she held a great liking for Su Yue. Now that she saw Su Yue encountering difficulties and seeking help from the Innsmouth people and Dagon followers, she naturally couldn't stand by and watch him die.
"This fifth-tier griffin is quite important to me, take a look..."
Su Yue hesitated, then looked at Idya with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Id Ya laughed and said, "You really are like my child."
Su Yue smiled modestly again.
With a wave of her right hand, a mirror-like ripple appeared, and the enormous planet Soth seemed to submit behind her... A black, amorphous power surged into the dying griffin's body.
Instantly, the large griffin named "Xiao Yi" let out a deafening wail and cry.
His wings kept flapping against the ground.
They struggled to break free.
Large amounts of black mist and smoke emerged from the pupils and eye sockets of the griffin "Little One"... creating a scene that seemed to have been "Cthulhuized".
"Congratulations, player! Your subordinate, the Tier 5 Great Griffin, has been promoted to Tier 7 Soth Griffin (a Cthulhu-specific unit) thanks to the blessing of the evil god Id Ya!"
"Holy crap!!!"
"Tier 7 units..."
The once-dead fifth-tier griffin seemed to undergo a dramatic transformation. Countless thick bubbles appeared on its body, and black scales grew out like dragon scales. The triangular shield-like scales even created a terrifying sense of oppression for Su Yue, and the talons under its enormous wings became even sharper and deeper, making it seem like an evil creature that had emerged from hell.
"It's mutated!"
"Seventh-tier Soth Griffin 'Little One', a mutated Cthulhu special unit, in the states of 'Joy,' 'Gratitude,' and 'Excitement'!"
"This is much better than my Sleipnir? Should we get a different mount?"
Sleipnir humanely raised his horse's hooves!
Spitting through the nostrils.
The mutated griffin looked at the giant griffin with hostility, and the horseshoe kicked up patches of grass, appearing extremely agitated as if to say, "Why did you abandon me? I can become even stronger in the future!"
"Haha, just kidding."
Id Ya laughed and said, "I'm going back to continue my journey. I won't disturb your 'game' any longer."
"..."
Su Yue fell silent. In the eyes of Id Ya, this Lady of Cthulhu, his battles were probably just minor skirmishes among the Great Old Ones, after all, she had ruled countless planets and was rumored to be the queen of Soth. It was perfectly reasonable for a planetary ruler to think that Su Yue's expansion of his Canaan territory was just a small-scale affair.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Lady Crimson disappeared through the portal... Su Yue thought to himself that he owed the Cthulhu family another favor... That's right, the Cthulhu family is a family.
Cthulhu, as the patriarch and father, had a wife named Idya, a daughter, and several children and sons. Together with his subordinate Great Old Ones, Dagon and Hydra, they formed the water faction within the unique Cthulhu pantheon.
Su Yue hasn't actually dealt with other Cthulhu families yet... but he'll definitely have to in the future.
Thinking about this.
Su Yue laughed as well. He looked at the griffin that had advanced to the seventh tier and said, "From now on, you'll be called Xiao Yi! The only Cthulhu variant among the griffins, a seventh-tier creature, somewhat resembling a dragon..."
The incredibly strong Xiao Yi, a mutated seventh-tier griffin, directly advanced two tiers.
"Should I find you a knight? What do you think of Walter Lawrence? He's a fifth-rank noble cavalry commander."
"If I put you in the Knight rank, you might be able to advance to the eighth rank, right?"
"It's not that simple."
Europa sullenly remarked from the side.
The master has been in contact with the evil god... This holy angel of the temple felt extremely jealous... Su Yue quickly reassured her, "Europa, you are my greatest future helpmate! You wouldn't be jealous of even Ms. Idya, would you?"
"No... I was just worried about you."
Su Yue smiled.
Xiao Yi was clearly unimpressed by Su Yue's suggestion to find him a knight. His seventh-tier mutation had significantly boosted his intelligence, enabling him to perform many human-like actions. His shield-like scales were jet black, and his eerie Cthulhu-like aura felt even more domineering than that of a ninth-tier Europa—though this was only visually apparent.
In a real war, it couldn't possibly be stronger than Europa.
Even so.
Su Yue also unexpectedly gained his first Tier 7 unit...
"Xiao Yi, take me upstairs for a look around."
The seventh-tier Soth Griffin lay prostrate on the ground. Unlike its previous arrogance, it now respectfully bent its massive right wing in front of Su Yue. With a wingspan of nearly 3.7 meters, it looked like a piece of land!
Su Yue walked towards his wings.
The mud stuck to the feathers.
Walk to the center.
"take off!!"
The seventh-tier Soth Griffin soared into the sky, letting out a joyful cry. Su Yue said, "Let's go and meet those despicable dwarf lords!"
"唷!!"
"What!!"
"The White Horse Lord?"
Before Gu Yu could even meet Su Yue offline, he saw Su Yue, the big boss, take off on a seventh-tier dark griffin!
"..."
She felt a surge of emotion, as if she were one of her own heroes. The dwarf lords of Europe were either surrendering or still uttering threats!
"Damn you Chinese, let me go and we'll duel! You cheaters!"
"Tier 5 Griffin... Damn Dragon Country people... We in the European region will definitely avenge us and conquer you damned Asian faces! Damn Dragon Country... Damn Dragon Country people."
Gu Yu's long, beautiful legs and pointed elven ears twitched as the elven cavalryman beside her said, "Master, your companion's territory's army formation is truly terrifying... but why do they look so disorganized? Yet their command is so orderly and disciplined, with orders carried out without question?"
Even Gu Yu, the goddess of the Dragon Kingdom, couldn't understand why Su Yue could coordinate so many miscellaneous and multi-ethnic troops into a unified and disciplined formation.
His leadership skills are truly terrifying...
Command ability is a core element for players, but prestige and soldier loyalty are even more crucial. If the morale of subordinate troops is low, they will definitely be sluggish; if their loyalty is low, they will naturally be unwilling to obey your orders; and if their organization is low, they will be unable to cooperate with each other. All three are indispensable elements.
However, looking at Su Yue's troops, they were very well-organized. Although they were all ragtag units, and even their clothes and armor were inconsistent, it was precisely this chaotic yet extremely orderly state that gave people the strongest shock!
Gu Yu's cousin is the guild leader of the Longqing Guild, and is considered one of the top players among the high-level players in the Dragon Kingdom.
But she knew that even her brother couldn't possibly have such terrifying "command" and organizational skills.
In terms of leadership alone, Su Yue is a powerful figure.
They completely outclassed those players by more than one level.
Even his brother Long Qing is no match for him!
Elisa's mature and captivating face, clad in a perfectly tailored black crepe dress, made her look absolutely stunning. Dressed in black, her movements were graceful and alluring. Behind her followed five Tier 4 human greatsword infantrymen, and another infantryman with a shield, specifically there to protect her. She smiled and said:
"Gu Yu, you've come to see President Yue too? President Yue and I are getting married soon, has she told you?"
"Wh...what?"
"marry?!"
Gu Yu stared at Elisa in shock, but then noticed a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"You damn green tea! Stay away from me."
Elisa works as a saleswoman for Hermès and is used to seeing wealthy men. She is incredibly mature and charming. What's even more outrageous is that although she has the charm of a mature woman, she is also extremely tall.
Moreover, she's not very old, just like Gu Yu, in her early twenties, only 21 now! But her social experience is comparable to many women in their thirties, so she looks exceptionally intellectual and alluring... She has a maturity that Gu Yu doesn't have and envies.
The key point is that she has a lot of assets.
Gu Yu, however, was in a bit of a predicament—in terms of her figure.
The sheer black crepe dress, paired with her alluring and seductive face and provocative expression, would absolutely make any man of average skill bow down and fall at her feet.
The fact that so many top players in the Longqing Guild spend tens of thousands of gold coins every month to support this beauty speaks volumes. Her market value is outrageous; she's even hailed as the Longqing Guild's number one socialite and a female celebrity… Gu Yu is the cousin of Guild Leader Gu Longqing, so it's only natural that their relationship isn't good.
"Hmph, I'll have a good chat with Brother Su Yue about life and discuss the future development of our territory in a little while. Just you wait and see..."
"Wow, that's so cool... I really want to go for a ride on that giant griffin with Brother Su Yue."
Gu Yu didn't say anything on the surface, her face as cold as ice.
Inwardly, he was cursing the jerk!
Women's struggles are more cruel and intense than imagined... She had already figured out how to act pitiful and ingratiate herself with this Su Yue boss.
