The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

The dazzling midday sun was as hot as the noisy crowd below.

Kukunoor is particularly lively today.

because
Today, the orcs who have been trapped in the shadow of war for a long time will welcome their new king - Ekaterina Lionheart Pera Stevens!

And she will also become the first female king in the entire history of the Karen plane. The special meaning behind this is self-evident.

The Orc King's capital is now extremely lively.

The Rose Kingdom, Camelot Federation, Dwarves, Goblins, and even the Blue Dragon nobles who established a community ruling system living in the Death Desert, all sent their families to participate in this grand ceremony.
Almost all the countries, races, and alliances that have developed ethnic culture on Karen, except the Frost Kingdom, sent their envoys to the Orc King's capital, Kukunul, to witness this historic moment.

When these intelligent beings of different races and habits gather here, many conflicts that would not have occurred otherwise will naturally arise.

Fortunately, under Hogg's arrangement, although there were occasional minor conflicts in Kukunur due to cultural differences, the overall situation remained under control.

Unlike humans, the orcs themselves are a race with extremely tough folk customs, and they often use force to resolve disputes in daily life.

Here, the power of fists far exceeds the power of eloquence.

The sun hung in the center of the sky like a blazing golden disk, and golden sunlight poured over the vast orc territory.

According to legend, the orcs were born when the sun was at its highest.

Therefore, according to tradition, the coronation ceremony of the new king will also be held at noon.

The ceremony took place in the center of the royal capital, Kukunul, in the temple of Gruumsh, the chief god of the orcs.

At this moment, the Gruumsh Temple, which resembles the ancient Roman Colosseum, is shrouded in warm light.

The stone wall carved with the traditional myths of the Orcs glows with a pale yellow luster.
Ancient runes are carved on the circular square, as if telling of the former glory and honor of this powerful race.

In the center of the venue, the coronation ceremony was in full swing, and the surrounding stands were crowded with envoys from different countries and races.

As time passed, the sun gradually climbed to the center of the sky.

Just then, a group of people in exquisite clothes slowly walked into the corridor of the stands, attracting the attention of everyone in the stands.

"Is that the representative of the Rose Kingdom?"

"I heard it was a princess."

"She looks like just an ordinary little human girl, but the fake dragon on her hat looks pretty."

"Strange, where are her guards? Is she here alone?"

"It was probably specially arranged by the human king. I heard that she is the king's illegitimate daughter. Recently, she has become quite popular in the Rose Kingdom because of the orc war."

"Humph, it's just a puppet, in my opinion."

There was endless discussion.

On the other hand, the orc waiters who were in charge of reception did not dare to be negligent.

No matter whether they are human princesses or envoys from alien races, these people are important figures whom the civilian orcs cannot afford to offend.

Soon, a hybrid of human and beast walked out from the special reception queue and greeted Vivian and the others.

Before receiving them, she first looked at the huge figure that followed the team like a loyal servant.

Hogg raised his head slightly and gave a look that indicated a "normal reception."

After receiving the other party's eye signal, the mixed-blood female beastman finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the silver-haired girl in front of her with a smile:

"Lady Vivian, this way please."

She bowed her head and led Vivian to the location of the Rose Kingdom.

Under the gaze of various forces, Vivian walked up the steps of the temple stand step by step.

The little face was slightly tense due to nervousness, and the thumb and index finger of the right hand were unconsciously rubbing gently on the silver-white magic wand at the waist.

"No need to be nervous."

Ron's voice suddenly rang in Vivian's ears:

"Do you remember the hot pot we had yesterday?"

"what?"

Vivian was stunned, not understanding why Ron brought up this matter.

"Just think of them as ingredients for the hot pot next day, like cabbage, carrots, rice cakes, etc., and you won't be nervous."

Ron said this while lying on the magic hat and playing with his tail out of boredom.

"woo"

Hearing this, Vivian thought about the scene with a strange look on her face, and suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although she couldn't see it the way Ron said, her nervousness was relieved a lot.

Soon, the group arrived at their respective marked positions.

As the envoy of the Rose Kingdom, the most powerful country in Karen at present.

Regardless of the relationship, whether it was overt or covert, Vivian and her group naturally sat in the most central position in the entire stand.

As for the dragon-veined kobold Hogg, who was known as the Orc Sage and followed behind Vivian, envoys from other countries believed that he was the orcs' protection of the weak human princess.

After all, the New Orc Kingdom has just experienced the shadow of war.

If something unexpected happened to the human princess in Kukunur at this moment, the Rose Kingdom would probably not give up such a good excuse to send troops.

In this situation, some conspiracy theorists have even begun to speculate whether this seemingly weak human princess is really just a discarded pawn in the hands of the old king, deliberately pushed to the forefront as a fuse for the war between orcs and humans.

Some conspiracy theorists have even begun to wonder whether this seemingly weak human princess was really pushed forward by the old king as the fuse for the war between orcs and humans.

If this is true, then there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Just as everyone was whispering, suddenly a heavy gong sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere in the air.

All eyes involuntarily focused on the center of the temple.
There, a powerful and beautiful figure slowly walked out of the shadows under the protection of soldiers.

That is the new queen of the orcs - Catherine the Lionheart!

At this moment, Ekaterina had put on the golden cloak that symbolized the highest power in the Orc Kingdom and slowly walked towards the center of the entire Orc Temple.

Even more surprising.

At this moment, extremely powerful magical fluctuations emanated from Ekaterina's body, as if showing her unparalleled power to everyone.

This new queen, who was not known for her military prowess according to the legend, was like a dazzling star at this moment, illuminating the entire temple.

"The constructs created by the master are becoming more and more powerful."

Hogg looked at the shining figure in the center of the venue with some emotion.

His mind couldn't help but recall once again the scene of his first meeting with his dragon master outside the Oracle Town.

He was the only witness to Ron's experiment on the power of the Dragon Scale Soldiers.

Hogg knew very well how terrifying Ron's current power was.

You know, just a month ago, that woman Ekaterina was just an ordinary orc. At most, under the influence of her bloodline, she barely gained power similar to that of a gold-level mercenary.

But now, she exudes a legendary power that far exceeds her own.

Meanwhile, in the shadows in the corner of the temple

Several dark shadows shrouded in black robes stared in amazement at the queen who slowly walked to the center of the venue.

"Damn it! Am I seeing right?"

One of the muscular figures, who was over four meters tall, stretched out his furry claws from his black robe and rubbed his eyes. After making sure that it was not an illusion, he could not help but let out a strange cry:
"Damn it, that loser Ekaterina, when did she become a legendary magician!?"

For a moment, there was a brief silence in the darkness.

Several companions in black robes fell into a brief contemplation, each weighing the pros and cons, thinking about this bet involving their future destiny.

"."

Silence for a moment

Finally, a hunched black figure spoke, breaking the silence:
"Then your highness, should we continue to implement the plan?"

The muscular black shadow gritted his teeth and said viciously:
"What are you afraid of? It's just one more legend. We have five of them!"

As it spoke, it turned its head and glanced at its companions with a threatening and bewitching look, its voice filled with cold determination:
"I know what you guys are worried about."

"But don't forget, for this plan, we have put aside our differences and united together. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have a chance to turn things around!"

Its fierce eyes were sharp and firm, resting on the faces of several accomplices one by one, and its voice was sonorous and powerful:
"Think about your parents, your children, and even yourself! If we fail, everything you have will be shattered by that woman!"

"And I know my useless sister too well. She will not give up on destroying any guy who threatens her rights. Even if that dragon vein dog-headed man who inexplicably follows her blocks her way, she will kick him away without hesitation!"

After saying that, it stopped and looked around. Seeing several of its companions looking thoughtful, it secretly felt happy.
Then, its voice slowed down and it encouraged with a confident tone:

“Although I still don’t know how my useless sister managed to forcibly ascend to the legendary level.”

“But even she became a legend.”

The muscular black shadow continued, with disdain in his tone:

"She has been spoiled since she was a child. How can she be as experienced as us veterans who have gone through countless battles? How much actual combat experience can she have? I bet her combat power must be weaker than that of a normal legend."

Its words were like venom, slowly seeping into the hearts of each of its companions:
"As long as you follow the plan and get rid of that damn dragon vein kobold, I promise that when you succeed, the New Orc Kingdom will not treat you unfairly!"

"By then, whether it's power, money, or anything else, you will get everything you want!"

The hoarse voice was like a catalyst, stimulating those hidden desires and ambitions.

All hesitations and fears collapsed in the face of the beautiful future that was painted.

He seemed to be moved by the last sentence.

The people covered in black robes looked at each other, as if silently communicating the consensus reached in their hearts.

Finally, as if they had agreed, everyone half-knelt on the ground and expressed their loyalty and determination to the muscular figure in the center:
"We will swear allegiance to His Majesty Leighton until death."

"very good!"

It smiled with satisfaction at its companions who were half-kneeling beside it, but there was a hint of viciousness in its eyes.

[You damned traitors, wait till you get rid of that idiot.]

Like a hyena waiting in the wings, ready to pounce on its prey.

"call--"

Accompanied by a heavy breathing sound.

The taut hood was slowly pulled down, revealing a majestic and ferocious face in the dim light.

It was a lion's face with many animal features, and the huge scar from the forehead to the corner of the mouth made the face look even more hideous.

Although his appearance had changed significantly due to lycanthropy, his companions following closely behind him all recognized who the face belonged to.

The second prince of the former Orc Kingdom - Leighton Whiteman.

A prince who has long been dubbed a "genius" and rose again in adversity after the death of the original orc royal family.

The shame and loss it once felt transformed into infinite strength and determination in its heart, and now becomes a powerful driving force for it to overthrow the existing royal power.

While observing the guarding forces around the temple, Leiden was thinking about the fate of this group of "allies" after the success.

It knows clearly that these people are just pawns to it and will be worthless after being used up.

He turned his gaze to the figure in the center of the temple.

Ekaterina

The sister whom he once regarded as "waste" now stands at the pinnacle of power in the Orc Kingdom that he had always dreamed of.

"Now, let Xiuke and the others activate the space barrier immediately!"

Leighton Whiteman grinned and ordered:
"I don't want to be disturbed by those damned Rock Clan when I'm reminiscing about the past with my good sister."

Leiden's fear of the Rock Clan is not groundless. Those bastards who suddenly appeared possess powerful strength and are a major obstacle in his path to power.

Especially the girl from the Ice Wolf tribe with dragon wings, whose strength has vaguely touched the threshold of legend.

If we delay any further, the consequences will be disastrous.

In order to ensure the smooth operation, it must complete its plan before the other party reacts, blockade the temple, and ensure that it has absolute control.

"It's time to return the Orc Kingdom to the embrace of its true master!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of the uniform footsteps made the earth tremble slightly.
"what sound?!"

The important people in the temple felt the strange vibration first, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The uniform footsteps, accompanied by the slight tremor of the earth, sounded like the beating of war drums, ushering in the storm that had been brewing for a long time.

"Pfft!"

Almost at the same time
The orc soldiers guarding the entrance of the temple were pierced through the heart without any preparation, blood flowed, and their bodies fell silently to the ground.

The assassin hiding in the shadows slowly revealed his figure.

In the sunlight, the dagger flashed a dazzling edge, like the scythe of the god of death.

"Buzz!"

As the light blue space barrier gradually took shape, an energy shield like half an eggshell tightly enveloped the entire Orc Temple.

Until it disappears, it will deny all life from entering or leaving.

Simultaneously
The orc army clad in black armor poured in from all directions, surrounding the entire temple area.

“Oh my god! What happened?
"It's that group of orc rebels. They have united and surrounded this place!"

"Get out of here quickly. I don't want to get involved in the war between these damn orcs."

"Damn it, I can't get out! I can't even use teleportation magic. What the hell is this barrier?"

Shouts, screams, and the sounds of people and weapons colliding intertwined to form a symphony of chaos and despair.

Everything happened as fast as lightning

With the space barrier fully opened and all exits blocked, the central area of ​​Kukunur was completely cut off from the outside world and became an isolated city!
This swift and deadly coup is about to begin.

No matter they are nobles, merchants or ordinary people
At this moment, everyone has become innocent people and witnesses in this storm of power.

However, Catherine, standing on the high platform in the center of the temple, seemed unusually calm.

There was no emotion in those dark pupils, only a deep and unfathomable darkness.

She looked down at the chaos below with an almost indifferent expression, as if she was watching a drama rehearsed by ants.

at the same time
Leighton Whiteman, the leader, stepped out from the army.

It walked towards the center of the temple step by step, its steps steady and confident, and stopped only when it reached the center of the temple.

Looked up

Leighton looked at Ekaterina on the platform, his eyes full of provocation and pride.

"Sister, long time no see." (End of this chapter)
