Chapter 69: Princess Tour
Two weeks later.
Floating Continent Archipelago, the third floating Island.
Armed guards maintained order at the scene, stopping residents and reporters from approaching, and set up a cordon at the dock. Outside the cordoned-off area, people were crowded.
Orcs of different races looked at the airship approaching from the horizon, most of them with curiosity and anticipation. The third floating Island was the territory of the Kingdom of Gedetil, a region directly governed by the royal family.
In this location closest to the first and second floating Island, the information was transmitted the fastest. It was also for this reason that they gathered here today, wanting to witness with their own eyes whether the rumor was true or not. Some orcs who were not well-informed saw the crowd gathered at the dock and could not help but ask the people around them curiously. "Hey, why is it so lively here today?"
"Haven't you heard? A big shot from the coalition government is coming!"
"Who else in the coalition government can be called a big shot? Isn't the wise man dead?"
"Can't someone take over?"
"Successor? Who?"
"A golden Fairy."
As soon as these words came out, the orcs who were just there to join in the fun showed surprised expressions. The golden fairies, this race has been in the limelight in the floating continent archipelago recently. Since the United Government no longer blocked the information about the golden fairies, their deeds were spread to every floating Island and made the headlines of major newspapers within a few days.
As long as it is not located on a floating Island at the border with isolated information, the story of this race has become known to everyone in all large-
scale floating Island.
A true hero.
This is the respectful name given to them by many orcs.
In the orc world where strength is respected, such a race that has sacrificed countless people for them and possesses powerful strength has undoubtedly become the object of worship and respect for many people.
However, this is a race that should have been honored, but has been used as a weapon by the Guardian Wing Army in the past five hundred years.
This adds to the tragedy of their lives.
However, no one expected that after Suowong death, the coalition government would actually push a golden fairy to the position of power.
[Princess]
This is the title of the new leader of the Floating Continent Archipelago.
The princess of the golden fairy.
This mysterious princess appeared out of nowhere and somehow gained the support of everyone in the coalition government. Shortly after taking office, she announced her own kingdom tour.
Everyone knew that the purpose of this tour was to consolidate the power of the coalition government and suppress the orc kings who were ready to make a move. The first stop was the third floating Island, the Kingdom of Gedetil.
"Woooooooooooooo!"
As everyone waited in anticipation, the airship slowly docked at the dock with the sharp whistle. At this moment, the entire dock fell into silence.
Holding their breath, everyone stared at the closed door of the airship, wanting to see the true face of the princess.
Wanting to unveil her mysterious veil.
I want to see if she is qualified to replace the Great Sage.
In the center of the dock, hundreds of fully armed guards were on guard. In front of them were two orcs with temperaments that were obviously different from other orcs. They belonged to the royal family of the Deerman of the Kingdom of Gedelir. One of them was a young Deerman crown prince who had polished his horns meticulously and wore several gem rings on his hands. The other Deerman looked very old, hunched over, and looked like he had one foot halfway into the coffin. However, both the sturdy Deerman and the surrounding guards looked at him with awe. He was the king of the Kingdom of Gedelir.
"Father, do we really need to come and see her in person?"
Under the scorching sun, the Deer Man Crown Prince loosened his collar, complaining a little: "Without the Great Sage, the United Government is just a decoration.
Now they have no one to use, and even let a little girl become the new leader. There is no need for us to cooperate with them for a show, right?"
The old king stared at the darkness in the cabin with his white pupils, and did not answer. He did not think that the United Government would act out of urgency and hand over the responsibility of protecting the floating continental archipelago to a person who had no ability at all. However, it was also a fact that after the Great
Sage left, there was no one left in the United Government.
If the people of the First Floating Island wanted to push a golden fairy to the position of leader and force them to submit, then they were making a wrong calculation. "In any case, let us witness it together."
The old king spoke slowly, his voice as hoarse as a dry old tree: "Is it the birth of a new king, or the last struggle of the coalition government." If it is the former, they don't mind obeying the orders of the First Floating Island again.
But if it was the latter, then they would let everyone know how deadly the horns of their deer race were. As the airship entered the port, the hatch slowly opened.
A heavy voice was heard from the dark cabin door.
One by one, soldiers wearing heavy armor and standing two meters tall stepped out of the cabin door. The sun shone brightly on the steel armor covering their entire bodies.
Holding flags, they divided into two rows and marched forward in an orderly manner.
Although there were not many people, only fifty, the heavy sound of steel friction and the cold chill were like an army of a thousand people. Just looking at them was shocking.
"You must be kidding."
Seeing these heavily armored soldiers, the Deerman Crown Prince's eyes gradually became astonished. Even the strongest trolls would not be able to walk normally wearing such heavy armor. He could even feel the ground shaking every time these soldiers stepped down. No matter who it was, they could clearly feel the extraordinaryness of these soldiers.
Some of the orcs who were there to join in the fun, watch the show, and put on a show, their original frivolous moods completely disappeared. With the appearance of two rows of heavily armored soldiers, a long red carpet rolled out from the hatch. The distance seemed to be calculated, and it stopped just one meter in front of the old king and the young crown prince. On both sides of the red carpet, the knights in iron armor knelt on one knee, and the cRhanging sound of steel echoed in everyone's ears. The next moment, another footstep came from the hatch.
A young girl walked onto the red carpet and into the sunshine.
She was wearing a battle armor that was a mixture of black and scarlet, and it looked like the black armor was stained red with blood, and it was still scary even under the sunlight. Her face was also cold, and there was no emotion in her eyes.
She raised her Suowong-like chin proudly and glanced at the orcs in the dock. Under the gaze of the purple and gold eyes, no one dared to look at her. It was as if the war princess who commanded thousands of troops and galloped on the battlefield stepped into her kingdom and inspected her subjects and vassals. The old king sighed slightly, and his already hunched back seemed to deepen.
Apparently, it should be the former.
"Princess of the Golden Fairy, ruler of the United Government, new leader of the Floating Continent Island."
As the ruler of a country, the old king took the initiative to lower his posture and saluted respectfully. "The Kingdom of Gedetil, obey your pilgrimage."
Chapter 70: The Great Counterattack
The princess's pilgrimage was taking place simultaneously in all the orc kingdoms.
The Kingdom of Gedetil, which is managed by the deer race, the Kingdom of Reinshard, which is managed by the lion race, and the Kingdom of Elbis, which is managed by the chaebol...
Yatogami Tohka arrived at the main cities of these orc countries, representing the United Government of the First Floating Island to contact the kings of various countries.
More precisely, it was Yatogami Tohka clone.
Using the convenience of the Eight Bullets, she summoned six different versions of hersSpirit in different timelines and asked them to go to the six orc kingdoms on her behalf. However, although it was her pilgrimage, the person who came into contact with the orc kings was an adjutant sent by the United Government to accompany her. Comparison, communication and consultation were not things she could do.
Otherwise, the aloof impression will be ruined the moment you open your mouth.
Yatogami Tohka was in charge of the various orc kingdoms, while the skilled lieutenants were in charge of various discussions. The pilgrimage, which was originally expected to take at least half a month, ended in just three days.
Some kingdoms were more sensible and had already submitted to Yatogami Tohka the moment she appeared. Some kingdoms wanted to gain more benefits and tried their best to please Yatogami Tohka , but in the end they could only accept her rule with their heads down.
Some kingdoms did not want to miss this rare opportunity and sent troops to kill Yatogami Tohka , but they ended up losing more than they gained. Not only did their planfail, but even the power
of the royal family was taken away.
With the princess's swift and decisive actions, the orc kingdoms that were showing signs of civil war were all suppressed within three days. The flames of civil war were ruthlessly extinguished before they even started.
The power of the floating continental archipelago finally returned to the hands of the coalition government. Or in other words, it returned to the hands of Yatogami Tohka .
During this tour, the future direction of the floating continent archipelago was also conveyed to every orc. Counterattack the ground!
The orc warriors who had merged with the soul crystals showed a fighting power far beyond that of the Seventeen Beasts, giving everyone hope of regaining their homeland.
Although they were still not as good as the golden fairies who could use magic from birth, the special orc team of up to 250 people had an absolute numerical advantage over the golden fairies, which numbered less than 50 in the entire tribe.
Therefore, under the call of the princess, the floating continent archipelago began intensive preparations for the war. Every orc made his own efforts for the upcoming counterattack.
More floating warships were being built overtime, new weapons were being produced on the assembly line, and a large amount of supplies were being concentrated in the warehouses of the Guardian Wing Army
under the temporary control law...
Of course, it wasn't just the ordinary orcs who were trying to make use of their abilities. William, a human quasi-hero, had lost almost all of his strength, but he could still repair the holy swords that had been damaged and sealed for five hundred years. So these days, he collected all the holy swords from various Fairy warehouses and the First Floating Island and began to repair them.
The golden fairies did not become idle just because they were freed from their duties. At the suggestion of Yatogami Tohka and William, they stayed in the Guardian Army and demonstrated the use of magic to the orc warriors who had fused with soul crystals.
Even the lazy man, Lord Ebon Candle , was forced to give him more tasks, making various amulets and forbidden spells that could be used in battle. Yatogami Tohka was also not idle.
In order to complete her main mission, become the princess of the golden fairy cRhan, and lead them to defeat fate, she summoned the golden fairies in other fairy warehouses, told them what happened between hersSpirit and the fourth fairy warehouse, and established a cooperative relationship with them.
If she wanted to become the princess of the golden fairy cRhan, she would naturally have to be recognized by all the golden fairies. The golden fairy of the fourth fairy warehouse undoubtedly recognized her.
To complete the main quest, Yatogami Tohka needs to get the approval of the golden Fairys living in other Fairy warehouses. Time passed slowly in the great mobilization.

One month later.
On the first floating Island, preparations for the expedition are ready.
Under the blazing sun, Yatogami Tohka , wearing a divine outfit and holding a sword, stood on the top of the castle, looking down at the neatly lined soldiers below. A human quasi-hero.
Six clones created by the Eight Bullets.
Fifteen adult golden Fairys from various Fairy warehouses.
Two hundred and fifty super warriors who have fused soul crystals.
More than two thousand elite veterans from various divisions of the Guardian Wing Army.
And more orc warriors responsible for logistics.
At the call of the princess, they gathered here today and made all preparations for the upcoming war. Feeling the burning gazes, the second leader of the Floating Continent Island, the Golden Fairy Princess, slowly spoke. Her voice was not loud, but full of energy, and contained a determination that everyone could hear.
"Five hundred years ago, the Seventeen Beasts appeared in this world and destroyed all the nations on earth. Countless powerful races died in the fight against them and became history.
The great sage Suowong created the Floating Continent Island to provide a refuge for the surviving orcs, allowing the fire of civilization to continue. Five hundred years later, their shadows still cover this Rhan and the Floating Continent Island.
However, we are no longer who we were five hundred years ago.
We have been given new power, enough to drive the Rhan free from the seventeen beasts that kill without knowing anything and only act on instinct. Now, we are ready for war.
For our former homeland, for the souls of the sacrificed heroes, and for the wishes of the great sage, we will launch a full-scale offensive on the ground." Yatogami Tohka looked solemn, and raised the giant sword in his hand high.
She was petite and young, but for some reason she exuded an aura that made everyone submit to her from the bottom of their hearts.
"Victory will belong to the Floating Continent Island!"
The passionate pre-war speeches aroused the fire in the hearts of every fighter. From each helmet came a passionate and impatient gaze. As Yatogami Tohka raised his sword, the orc warriors could no longer hold back their excitement, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the First Floating Island. For victory!
"When has Tohka ever come up with something so inspiring?"
Infected by the enthusiasm in the air, Chtholly looked at Yatogami Tohka on the castle and asked in confusion.
"Of course, someone else helped her come up with this idea, and she was just responsible for reading it out." William, who was standing next to her, laughed.
"Even though she has no idea, I have to say that the effect of her reading the script is quite good."
