A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 493: Take action personally
The old capital city is completely different from its former desolate state; orcs can be seen digging holes and planting trees everywhere.

At first, there were only two or three tribes of orcs. Gradually, more and more orcs came spontaneously to plant trees and create forests, all trying their best to restore this barren land to its former state and turn it into the familiar homeland they remembered.

After two months of restoration, the scorched earth has been revitalized. Many trees and flowers have been planted to prevent wind erosion and stabilize sand, and they are growing lushly. Even in late autumn, these trees and flowers are full of life and show no signs of withering. Many animals have migrated here, all thanks to the typhoon.

Fu Teng suffered greatly. She never expected that even after finally escaping Necro's clutches, she still couldn't escape her fate of working for others.

Compared to that, working under Shen Tang was much easier and freer, without being forcibly suppressed and sealed in a small courtyard.

Over the past two months, the green vines have grown quite a bit, with long, green tendrils swaying leisurely in the air.

Suddenly, it stopped moving and let out a bloodcurdling scream, "My son—"

Luo Fei was sleeping on a treetop nearby when the scream startled him. He rolled off the tree with a thud, shook off the fallen leaves and stray hairs on his head, and cursed, "What are you yelling about? You woke me up!"

"My child is dead." Fu Teng was so anxious that he didn't even have time to transform into human form. He pulled his roots out of the ground and ran wildly like octopus legs.

The nearby beastmen gasped in shock at the horrifying scene.

"Huh? You have a child? Are you male or female?"

Luo Fei was completely baffled. Seeing Fu Teng running further and further away, he roared and chased after him, "Come back here! Don't even think about running! His Majesty ordered me to stay here and watch you. If you run again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Fu Teng was speechless. "You damn black pig, can you please stop blocking my way? I have something important to report to my little darling. If this is delayed, you can expect to atone with your death!"

In that instant, Fu Teng realized that Mi Li was dead.

He gave the seed to this ambitious young beastman, waiting for the seed's incubation period to be completed, so that he could completely assimilate Mili into a ruthless plant-beastman, which could be considered as a son for him to continue his lineage.

I didn't expect him to die so soon.

Of course, it was just a puppet used to continue the family line, so its death was nothing to Fu Teng. He wasn't particularly heartbroken, but the memory of Mi Li before its death would be directly transmitted into his mind.

What Mili saw before she died was the real reason for Futeng's panic.

—That perverted Necromancer is coming to kill us again!
We need to tell Xiaoguai and the others about this right away.

……

The Night Glow Empire, which had finally ushered in peace, was forced to go to war again. Shen Tang was awakened by an urgent military report in the middle of the night - the rebel army had gathered a large force and was pressing on the northwest border!
After several waves of war, the Night Glow Empire could only mobilize a maximum of a few hundred thousand guards. In addition, the pollution of the southwestern border had spread during this period, so Shen Tang reinforced the southwestern border with even more guards.

Only 50,000 troops were left to guard the northwestern border.

To everyone's surprise, the defeated rebels launched an even stronger attack this time. Fifty thousand defenders were not a large number, but they were defeated in just one night, which was terrifying!
Shen Tang held a meeting with the empire's top brass overnight to discuss military matters, which allowed him to learn more about the situation.

Unlike the previous attacks, this time it was not the Third Army Corps that was attacking, but the legendary leader himself who led the troops into battle!

One person can defeat an army of thousands.

No wonder the offensive was so terrifying!
Looking across the entire empire, perhaps only Xue Yinzhou and Lu Xiao are qualified to fight against Necro.

This battle is probably the only one that can truly be considered a life-or-death struggle between the Night Glow Empire and the villainous army.

This victory will forever annihilate the rebel army.

If we lose this battle, the empire may perish! In this critical moment for the empire's survival, all the orcs in the country are on high alert, ready to fight to the death.

Lu Xiao, Xue Yinzhou, and Xiao Jin urgently assembled the army that night and personally led the troops to the northwest border to provide support.

Shen Tang also wanted to go to the battlefield, but Lu Xiao and the others wouldn't let her go no matter what. The battlefield was too dangerous; even with her great strength, she couldn't withstand thousands of troops and the unpredictable nature of the battle.

A ruler of a country must not make the slightest mistake.

Shen Tang only needs to do one thing: guard the rear, stabilize the people's hearts and morale, and prevent the front line from being defeated without a fight.

The front lines of life-or-death battles should be left to them.

Shen Tang had no choice but to stay in the capital and deal with the urgent military matters that were being dealt with day and night.

Unexpectedly, Fu Teng returned.

"My little darling, it's been so long. Did you miss me?" Seeing the female's worried expression, Fu Teng rubbed her shoulders in a comforting manner.

Shen Tang pinched her brow, looking at the urgent military intelligence in her hand, and said irritably, "I don't have time to play along with your act right now. Weren't you in the old capital? Why are you back?"

"I heard the rebels have attacked again, and I wanted to come and tell you as soon as possible, but I'm still too late." Fu Teng became serious. "I have something very important to tell you!"

Shen Tang glanced at him sideways, wondering what mischief this guy was plotting now. Could he be planning to sneak away while the two armies were fighting?

After all, Luo Fei had reported to her quite a few times during this period that Fu Teng had secretly escaped twenty-three times, but unfortunately, he was caught every time.

Futeng said, "Necro personally led the attack, and someone deliberately instigated it from behind."

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Tang's expression changed slightly. She had never understood it either. The rebels were clearly severely weakened, and their voluntary withdrawal was the best proof of that.

Logically speaking, the rebels should not have made any major moves for several years, but unexpectedly, just a few months later, Necro personally led his troops into battle, which surprised everyone.

Shen Tang immediately narrowed her eyes. "Wait, where did you find out about this? Why should I believe you?"

"Little darling, believe it or not, let me finish speaking first."

Fu Teng was indeed no good, but he didn't want Necro to come back to kill him. The two of them had completely fallen out. With his current weak state, he would be doomed if he fell into that freak's hands!
After listening to Fu Teng finish explaining the whole story, Shen Tang suddenly stood up, almost unable to hold back her emotions.

—Shen Qingli and Necro were actually colluding together, acting like accomplices?!
When Shen Tang learned the reason why the two were hooking up, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

—Necro met a beautiful woman by the river and fell in love at first sight. He personally led his troops to attack the empire, just to win a smile from her.

This beautiful woman, who brought ruin to the world, is Shen Qingli.

Shen Tang, though a fool, has finally figured it out.

Shen Qingli, that scoundrel of a female lead, got away with it all and took her identity!
Her love-at-first-sight spray turned out to be a waste of time and effort for Shen Qingli!

Shen Tang's feelings were incredibly complicated, and she didn't know what to say. She never expected that her unintentional act would become a bolt from the blue!

No, she couldn't let the female lead reap the benefits for nothing. If it were just a simple case of mistaken identity, that would be one thing; Shen Tang didn't care who Niekro loved. But Shen Qingli wanted to use Niekro to attack the empire and seize her throne. How could she tolerate that?!
The system angrily said, "[It seems you, host, will have to personally expose Shen Qingli's lies. If Nekro finds out she deceived him, he will definitely be furious and kill her, let alone help her!]"
