A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 327 Unlocking Monarchical Prestige!
The system regretfully replied, "[I'm sorry, host, the energy contained within this crystal is too mysterious. With the information I currently have, I cannot analyze it. However, I can sense that this power is very mysterious and powerful. Please take good care of it; it might have unexpected uses in the future!]"

Shen Tang nodded, a serious look flashing in her eyes, and said nothing more.

The coronation ceremony was still proceeding in an orderly manner, and the afterglow of power fell on Shen Tang, making his features even more sharp and noble.

The ceremony concluded, marking the end of the event.

Lu Xiao took the lead in kneeling on one knee, bending over and bowing his head, holding her right hand in his hands and placing it on her forehead, his posture as devout as a believer worshipping a god.

"I swear in the name of the head of the Lu family," he said in a deep voice, each word ringing with conviction, "that I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and that the Lu family will forever be the royal family's henchmen, ready to wield the blade without hesitation!"

His voice was resounding and carried by the biting cold wind to the ears of all the orcs present.

Xiao Jin, Shen Li, Jia Lan, and Xue Yinzhou also knelt on one knee to express their submission and loyalty.

Almost simultaneously, a series of kneeling sounds came from below the stage, followed by a rush of people taking oaths!
"The Yun family will serve His Majesty loyally for generations, guarding the border!"

"Our Bear Clan will serve Your Majesty with utmost loyalty and devotion! We will give our lives for you!"

"And our Helan family..."

"God bless our king!"

Long live the monarch!

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the beasts knelt on the ground, their voices rising and falling in unison, soaring into the sky and stopping the clouds in their tracks!
She stood in the center of the red carpet, her gilded scepter touching the ground, receiving the homage of the people.

Thus, the Nightfall Empire welcomed a new monarch.

[Congratulations, host! The morale of the people in the capital has greatly improved! +30!]

[Congratulations, host! The morale of the people in all the cities you rule has improved to varying degrees!]

[Congratulations, host, on completing main quest (2), the struggle for power! Now, host, the third main quest is to reclaim lost territory!]

[Congratulations, host, on your successful ascension to the throne! Monarchical prestige activated!]

[Current Prestige Value: 250!]

"???" Shen Tang's forehead twitched when she heard this unlucky number, suspecting that this damn system was deliberately mocking her!
Shen Tang opened his personal page and found that the attribute box had a new [Prestige Value] attribute.

Host: Shen Tang
Age: 20
Appearance: 90 (A beauty of unparalleled grace)
Skin: Normal

Body shape: 120 pounds, perfect figure.

Skills: Mental Strength (75%), Advanced Earth-type Abilities (Earth Escape Technique, Breath of Earth Technique), Healing (Top-tier)
Overall appeal rating: Top
Monarch Prestige: 250 [Unstable foundation (some factions outwardly comply but inwardly resist, showing signs of rebellion)]
Recommendation: Consolidate power and unify the country.

"System, what is the purpose of prestige points?" Shen Tang was startled and felt a sense of urgency when he saw the relevant evaluation.

Could someone be betraying us?
The system cheerfully replied, "[Under my careful tutelage, you have become an empress. Please remember your status; you are no longer an ordinary person. Countless people are secretly watching your position. Not everyone can sit comfortably here. A single misstep could cost you your head!]"

[A beautiful but useless appearance is now merely an accessory to you. You need to demonstrate true power and authority that can command respect both internally and externally. Therefore, please enhance your monarchical prestige as much as possible and become a wise and benevolent ruler!]

[To increase the host's enthusiasm, each time the prestige value is raised to a new stage, a new function of the lord system can be unlocked. For example, after the prestige value is raised to 1000, the teleportation function can be unlocked!] Shen Tang's eyes lit up when he heard about the teleportation function.

If such a good thing existed, why didn't the damn system release it sooner!

Isn't the teleportation function similar to Zackis's spatial teleportation?

She comes and goes without a trace, going wherever she wants. When she encounters that dead lizard again, she won't have to worry about being powerless to fight back! Maybe she can even turn the tables and get her revenge!

Shen Tang couldn't wait to ask, "How can I quickly increase my monarch prestige?"

The dog system rolled its eyes and lazily said, "I know you're excited, host, but don't get too excited yet. Prestige isn't like points that you can just accumulate. Prestige fluctuates constantly, and breaking through each stage of monarch prestige is extremely difficult."

Loss of territory, defeat in war, riots, assassinations, famines, plagues, increased taxes, and increased corvée labor all diminish public support and the monarch's prestige.

The lower the monarch's prestige, the more disadvantageous it is for the host. If the prestige drops into negative territory, it will 100% trigger riots and assassinations by civilians across the land!

Conversely, recovering lost territory, winning wars, investing in projects that benefit the people, and granting amnesty can all increase public support and prestige... However, it should be noted that special events such as granting amnesty can lead to a decline in public order in various regions, so please make your decisions carefully.

The higher the monarch's prestige, the more system rewards they will receive, the more secure and longer they will sit on the throne, and the more lucky events they will trigger, such as attracting people, recruiting talent, and acquiring more rare character cards...

In short, prestige is very important! It only brings benefits and no drawbacks! The host must seize the opportunity, complete more tasks, and strive to increase monarch prestige!

Shen Tang listened to the system's explanation and gained a fairly good understanding of it.

Her prestige value isn't high right now, but she's not in a hurry; at least it's positive.

But before she could even enjoy her throne for two days, a piece of terrible news arrived the next morning.

[A riot has broken out in Qingchuan City. Prestige value -100! Host, please send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible!]

[Urgent intelligence received! The riots in Qingchuan City have triggered unrest among the people of neighboring cities, and several surrounding cities have subsequently fallen into chaos... The Green Field City wall construction mission is hampered and difficult to complete. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible!]

[Note: There are only 5 days left until the Greenfield City wall construction mission is completed. Failure to complete the mission will result in mission failure!]

Qingchuan City and Luye City are adjacent.

The riots in Qingchuan City will inevitably affect Lvye City!
Upon hearing this news, Shi Ye and his men were extremely anxious. This morning, a beastman rushed to report that many people were taking advantage of the chaos to smuggle materials and damage the city walls, making it impossible to complete the project. This was simply adding fuel to the fire!
Shi Ye's voice boomed like a bell, "Your Majesty, I will lead the troops back right now and slaughter those bastards! Daring to cause trouble outside my Green Field City, they simply don't want to live!"

Hu Yun and his men were also filled with righteous indignation and wished they could go back and kill their way back right now!

At the same time, the system's emergency notification sounded: [An urgent side quest is now issued to the host: Dispatch troops to quell the rebellion and ensure the successful completion of the Green Field City walls. Quest deadline: 5 days. Reward: 500 points, one Marrow Cleansing Pill!]

[Marrow Cleansing Pill: Can improve an orc's aptitude; the lower the initial aptitude, the more significant the improvement. (Note: Ineffective on S-rank talent orcs)]

This Marrow Cleansing Pill is a rare item. Unfortunately, Shen Tang and the beastmen are all top-tier talents and don't need it. However, it would be a very useful item to give to loyal subordinates to improve their combat power.

Not to mention that Shen Tang had almost used up all the points she had accumulated before, and after becoming the ruler, the consumption would be even greater, so she couldn't let go of any opportunity to earn points.

However, the system gave too little time. The two cities are thousands of miles apart, and it would take at least two or three days for a large team to get there.

This damn system allowed her to quell the war in just five days—it's nothing short of a fantasy!
Xiao Jin stepped forward and volunteered, "Tangtang, send me over! I'll definitely help you kill all those rebellious bastards!"
