Chapter 244.2
Volume 3: Chapter 244 – The Dance of the War Princess (2/5)
On the other side of the southern border, it was Gi Gi Orudo’s monster army who would be facing the Holy Shushunu Kingdom . Zailduk’s monster army specialized in saturation attacks, but they were mercilessly beaten at the southern region of the Holy Shushunu Kingdom .
The mana guards who could use magic to overturn vast areas of the battlefield were not only masters of horse riding but also proficient in working together .
Their spells left the monsters with no place to run, and the forces of Blanche the War Princess and the coalition of the various countries took down nearly 30% of Zailduk’s monsters . With that Zailduk had no choice but to retreat . Pale didn’t actually think that they could win with that monster attack . She’d only really intended for them to buy them time, but the unexpected losses caused her to knit her brows .
Now they needed to wait for the reinforcements from Gi Ji Arsil to arrive and then fix their formation at the southern border .
To make things worse, word of Blanche the War Princess’ sweeping victory spurred the anti-goblin sentiments of the humans under the Goblin King’s rule . The rebellions were particularly frequent in the territory of the late Germion Kingdom . Since its defeat, Germion Kingdom has been renamed to Germion State and is currently a gathering of small sections .
But just as that name implied, the people living there still held within them the pride of being citizens to a kingdom of knights . Although the rebellions would be suppressed each time they occurred, a seed of suspicion would also be planted in both the goblins and the humans .
The Goblin King also had to station a certain number of soldiers at Germion State, so he could not focus all of his forces onto the Holy Shushunu Kingdom .

The fact that the old method of ruling over the people was not working greatly worried the Goblin King . Try as he might to think of a way to solve things peacefully, in the face of the rebellions, he could not help but want to unleash violence upon the people .
Yet every time his violent impulses would shake him, he would rebuke himself and keep quiet with his arms folded .
If the goblins were to show their savageness here and wipe out the Germion people, the integrity that the Goblin King has shown until now will end up as nothing more than a lie .
Success could be found only by stacking one victory atop another, but just one failure was all it would take to knock all that down . The Goblin King knew that well .
All the more so when it concerned something intangible like integrity or faith .
The tension and impatience that ever pestered the king found their way into his thick chest and made a home for themselves .
Within that kingly loneliness akin to standing before a dangerous cliff, the Goblin King found himself looking eastward .
Fortunately, Fatina – which has become a territory of the Kushain Believers – had a great harvest, so they wouldn’t have any problems supplying the soldiers .
“Make it so that there are enough soldiers escorting . ”
They were already at a point where they couldn’t say that a place was safe just because it was within their territory . To be doubly safe, the Goblin King even wanted Gi Zu Ruo to take his brawler faction with him and escort the food .
Pale and the others criticized the king’s decision, saying that he was being overly cautious, but there was no overturning the Goblin King’s decision . If they were to lose their food now, the goblins in the Forest of Darkness will suffer, and they might just be forced to take the food of the humans .

The Goblin King’s rule promised peace and security .
That’s why the people were so accepting of him . The Goblin King understood that the people wanted a life where they did not have to worry about tomorrow’s meal .
It was for the same reason that the rulers of the plains, the humans, accepted him . If he were to change his policy and try to rule tyrannically, maintaining their current territories will become impossible .
Already the Goblin King possessed a fifth of the whole world . He was no longer in a position where he could afford to be foolish . No . His position now demanded one thing and one thing alone from him – a wise ruler .
That was the toll he had to pay, and every day its pressure bore heavily unto him, but the king grit his teeth and endured .
The one thing keeping him from breaking was his pride .
“I am the king that rules over the goblins . If I can’t even endure this much, then what right do I have to name myself king?”
That was a confidence so great it was a hair’s breadth away from becoming hubris, but it was precisely that that held down the impatience burning in his heart and tamed the monster struggling to break free . With steel-like self-restraint, the Goblin King diligently attended to his government .
◆◆◇
As the Goblin King continued to endure with steel-like self-restraint, the bad news kept on coming . The War Princess was gradually increasing her strength within the Holy Shushunu Kingdom . According to Pale’s intel, the king of the Holy Shushunu Kingdom enacted a special law due to the war, allowing Blanche the War Princess to gradually gather her forces .
Now, she had not only the mana guards with her, but also a part of the arch knights and the lance knights . Perhaps it was her two victories against the goblins which heightened her authority within the imperial court and allowed her to take a step ahead over the other great nobles .
As the situation steadily turned for the worse, the first to break was not the Goblin King but his goblin subordinates .
“Your Majesty, if it pleases you, please give us the opportunity to fight once more . ”
Gi Ga Rax knelt down and pleaded to the king . Even Gi Jii Yubu who often kept quiet stepped forward and begged the king to dispatch them .
“Your Majesty, if it pleases you, please send us to battle . ”
The Baron and Duke class goblins were much smarter than their lower classed normal goblins . It was because of that that they could tell that the kingdom was not in a good situation .
The normal and rare class goblins would simply do whatever the king told them . They had no way of knowing why the king refused to attack .

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
