I don't want to be an elf!

“You’ve made a friend, Tohka,” Chtholly said.

This was a treatment the Golden Fairies had never received before.

Even among teammates fighting on the same side, the Golden Fairies never formed any camaraderie with anyone.

Now, having personally experienced the weight of this friendship, all three of them have developed complex feelings.

As if infected by the lion-man's language, with the first person taking the lead, the orc warriors on the same warship all spoke up.

"William is still waiting for you, Chtholly. Don't let him regret it for the rest of his life!"

During his conversation with Ctholly, the minotaur warrior, moved by her story with William, shouted.

"Aiseya, thank you for listening to my complaints. I've prepared a gift to express my gratitude after this battle!"

The ratman, crying from stress in the dead of night, shouted to Athena, who was willing to listen to his woes.

"Miss Nephren, if we all survive, please try my desserts next time!"

One of the few rabbit-people on the warship who was interested in cooking shouted to Nephren, with whom he had exchanged culinary insights.

On the solemn battlefield, cheers of support rang out from orc warriors.

The seeds of friendship sown during their brief three days aboard the warship have blossomed and borne fruit of sincerity.

Inside the headquarters, Gray Rock Skin's stern eagle-man adjutant frowned upon seeing this scene.

"Sir, they seem to have violated..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Gray Rock Skin raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Isn't it good?" Gray Rock Skin rarely showed a smile. "This is how it should be between warriors."

The orc warriors' words transformed into a warm current, seeping into the hearts of the golden fairies.

This warm current seemed to possess some magical power, strengthening their resolve and filling them with unprecedented strength.

It's as if we now have a reason to fight.

"Seriously, wouldn't I just end up working myself to the bone?"

"Haha, Chtholly is really easy to please, this is enough for her."

"Isn't Athena the same? She's almost in tears."

"No, I didn't! The wind was so strong that it blew sand into my eyes!"

"I never expected that Athena would comfort someone else."

"Hmph! Don't just talk the talk, Nephren, aren't you the same?"

"Yes, yes, it's really unexpected that Nephren would take the initiative to communicate with others."

"Don't make me sound like I have social anxiety."

After exchanging some jokes, the golden fairies regained their composure.

Because the battle will soon begin.

Everyone calmed down and focused their attention on the Sixth Beast horde, which was getting closer and closer to the floating island.

Soon, the black dots floating in from the horizon grew larger and larger.

Those were eggs that looked like sea urchins, covered in sharp spines, with an iron-gray shell that gave off a steely texture under the sunlight.

These are the eggs that the adult Sixth Beast periodically ejects from the ground.

When they float and move in the air, they are so light that a gust of wind can blow them very far.

However, once they land, their weight will increase rapidly, and they will hatch in a very short time.

If the activity of these beast eggs is not nipped in the bud before they hatch, the larvae of the Sixth Beast will hatch and grow into the truly destructive Sixth Beast in an instant.

"Musketeers, advance!"

Upon seeing the first batch of beast eggs officially land, the second-ranking military officers in command at the front issued orders to the orc warrior units armed with flamethrowers.

These animal eggs are hard and cannot be effectively damaged by ordinary knives and spears.

However, it would be a waste of the Golden Fairies' magic and energy to deal with these immature beast eggs, so the Winged Army invented a weapon that could cook the beast eggs and render them inactive.

The orc soldiers, armed with flamethrowers, followed the steps they had taken during training, walked up to the orc eggs, and aimed at a single point to increase their firepower.

The hard beast eggs could not exert their hardness in the face of flames, and instead became iron cages that bound them.

In less than half a minute, under the scorching heat of the musketeer orc warriors, these beast eggs became cooked, dead eggs, losing their vitality.

Although they cannot directly confront the Sixth Beast, the Winged Army can effectively reduce the pressure on the Gold Fairies in the future through this method.

"boom----!"

However, just as the musketeers were continuing to sweep up the beast eggs, a small beast egg hatched first.

A crack appeared on the eggshell.

The next moment, a vine-like creature rapidly emerged from the tiny egg, took root in the earth, and grew at an abnormally fast pace.

The thick vine in the very center is the body of the Sixth Beast, while the several tentacles dancing around it are its weapons for hunting and attacking. Once a small beast egg hatches, it can grow into a monster as tall as the surrounding houses within seconds.

Faced with such an enemy, some new recruits who were going to the battlefield for the first time showed signs of fear.

Inside the artillery camp, Simba the lion's palms were also sweating profusely.

Because of his family's immense power, he also learned about the Sixth Beast from many sources and knew just how terrifying this monster was.

But witnessing it firsthand on the battlefield is a far more impactful experience than anything seen in newspapers or films.

"The only one capable of dealing with this kind of guy is the Golden Fairy."

Simba looked at the four people waiting in the sky and felt a sense of awe: "I actually had the courage to challenge them. Looking back now, I was really overestimating myself."

Faced with such an enemy, the orcs' pride in their strength is utterly useless.

Whether powerful beastmen or weak undetermined races, they are nothing but insignificant ants before the Sixth Beast.

"Help!"

At that moment, an orc soldier who hadn't managed to escape was grabbed by the tentacles.

He struggled to escape, but was powerless to resist, and could only desperately feel the tentacles of the Sixth Beast tightening their grip.

"Leave it to me!"

Before the three Gold Fairies could set off, Yatogami Tohka burst out first.

As spiritual energy flowed into the angel of the Aosha, the conquering angels began to radiate a dazzling light.

"Take this!"

With a loud shout, Yatogami Tohka unleashed a purple sword aura that detached from the blade and slashed towards the tentacles of the Sixth Beast.

The Sixth Beast's defense is not high, but due to its large size, bullets cannot effectively damage it, and even artillery can only play a restraining role.

The only thing that can effectively damage it is a relic weapon infused with magic.

Although Tohka Yatogami's weapon is not a relic weapon and the power she uses is not magic, it is still the nemesis of the Sixth Beast.

As expected, the moment the sword energy touched the tentacle, it was like a scalding knife cutting into a block of snow, severing the tentacle without any resistance.

"Thank you, thank you."

The orc soldier, who had narrowly escaped death, gasped for breath, thanked Yatogami Tohka, picked up his equipment, and immediately went to the other landing sites for the orc eggs.

Yatogami Tohka nodded and turned to fly towards the Sixth Beast's true form.

Neither side had time to waste on such matters.

"Nephren, go and keep an eye on Tohka. Make sure nothing happens to her. Asya, you're in charge of the Sixth Beast in the northwest."

Chtholly gripped the holy sword in her hand and addressed her two kinsmen separately.

Let's get to work!

Chapter Thirty-One: Valkyrie of the Battlefield

The battle to defend the fifteenth floating island has officially begun.

As large numbers of Sixth Beast eggs continue to land, the pressure on the orc soldiers and the golden fairies increases significantly.

Back in headquarters, as they reviewed the intelligence reports from the front lines, Gray Rock and his adjutants issued new instructions from the rear, directing the soldiers at the front to fight more effectively.

New equipment was constantly being sent to the front lines, and wounded soldiers were being evacuated from the front lines, only to be replaced by new orc warriors.

Within just four hours, the number of ordinary soldiers killed reached two hundred.

However, compared to data collected from previous battlefields, this casualty rate is not too unacceptable.

According to their estimates, even with the assistance of three Gold Fairies from the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, and even with Chtholly, who can wield the strongest holy sword, among them, the casualty rate should be 1.5 times higher than it is now.

"It's incredible."

Gray Rock Skin squinted at the figure charging straight ahead like a tank on the front line: "I originally thought it was just a golden fairy who had lost her memory, but now the combat power she is showing is almost equal to the combined power of the other three golden fairies. What is going on?"

From the moment the battle began, Yatogami Tohka never stopped swinging her sword.

The magical sword energy he occasionally unleashes is capable of severing the bodies of several Sixth Beasts in one strike.

Even from a safe distance, Gray Rock Skin could still feel the power of the sword energy.

If it's true that Tohka Yatogami opened the Fairy Garden, then that's understandable.

The immense magical power gained from burning one's life force can indeed grant the Golden Fairy great power and an inexhaustible supply of magical energy until the end of her life.

However, the battle had already lasted for four hours.

For a full four hours, Tohka Yatogami remained in peak condition, showing no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

Even Nephren, who was more experienced in battle than her, was struggling to keep up with her.

If it weren't for Chtholly and the others claiming that Yatogami Tohka is indeed a Golden Fairy, Gray Rock Skin would have suspected that this guy was some new monster race that jumped out of nowhere!

"According to the sentry records, the golden fairy named Yatogami Tohka has already killed 116 Sixth Beasts," the hawk-man adjutant said, looking at the data in his hand. "Ctholly, the user of the strongest relic weapon [Senecioris], has killed 67; Aiseya, the user of [Valcaris], has killed 46; and Nephren, the user of [Insania], has killed 38."

"So, the trio, including the strongest Gold Fairy, only managed to kill less than forty more than Yatogami?"

"To be precise, it's less than thirty-five."
