Fantasy: The Counterattack of the Female Sovereign

Since Song Yao successfully established her own power in the once peaceful village with her extraordinary wisdom and leadership skills, her reputation has spread far and wide, attracting many like-minded people to join her. Therefore, Song Yao and her team seized the opportunity and began to actively recruit more followers to strengthen their own strength.

However, as the saying goes, "a tall tree attracts the wind," Song Yao's high-profile actions naturally did not escape the close scrutiny of those with ulterior motives. In a bustling city not far from the village, the Caster family, a distinguished and prestigious aristocratic family with a deep heritage, emerged. Upon learning of Song Yao's rapid rise and expanding influence, they felt a strong sense of crisis.

The current head of the Custer family is a middle-aged man in his prime, yet cunning, treacherous, and ruthless. Faced with the growing influence of Song Yao, the head of the family is well aware that if he does not curb it, it will bring great trouble, even catastrophe, to his family. Therefore, he issued an order without hesitation, urgently summoning his most trusted confidants to discuss countermeasures.

In the luxuriously decorated and solemn conference room, the head of the Caster family sat at the head with a gloomy expression. He spoke in his low and malicious voice, "I believe everyone is aware of the current situation. This so-called female leader, Song Yao, who appeared out of nowhere, actually dared to challenge the authority and status that our Caster family has long established! Her existence is simply a huge threat to us. So no matter what, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and allow her to continue to develop. Otherwise, once she has fully grown, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After some conspiracies, they finally decided to use a series of insidious and cunning methods to deal with Song Yao. First, they carefully planned how to spread malicious rumors that would smear Song Yao's reputation. These rumors spread like a plague among the surrounding villages and prosperous cities.

Some people vividly describe that Song Yao is actually an extremely evil witch, and the powerful strength she possesses does not come from her own practice or talent, but is obtained through dirty deals with terrible demons; others solemnly declare that Song Yao is a ruthless and merciless brutal ruler, and anyone who dares to join her seemingly huge but actually shaky force will inevitably become a victim of her desire for power.

As time went on, these rumors spread more and more widely, their influence growing stronger and stronger. Many people who had once held high hopes for Song Yao, even longing for her, began to feel deeply shaken. They lived in constant fear, fearing that if they joined Song Yao's forces, not only would they be in danger, but their families would also suffer devastating consequences.

Meanwhile, assassins affiliated with the Custer family also launched a bloody campaign. In the stillness of night, these well-trained and elusive killers would strike like ghosts. Unnoticed, they would infiltrate the homes of villagers who were interested in joining Song Yao's forces, striking with lightning speed and devastating force. Within a few days, several innocent villagers had been murdered, bringing untold fear and despair to the local population.

Song Yao and her followers quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. They knew that if they didn't take action, their power would collapse. Song Yao decided to take action herself. She wanted to show people her true face and dispel their fears.

Song Yao, accompanied by Hao Jin, Master Ye, and a few loyal followers, embarked on a public tour, visiting villages and cities, meeting people face to face and demonstrating Song Yao's strength and determination.

In each place, Song Yao held public gatherings, using her power to protect villagers and help them solve practical problems. She also invited local merchants and artisans to show them the benefits of joining her forces.

Hao Jin used his business acumen to provide financial security for those followers who were willing to join. He promised that everyone who joined Song Yao's forces would receive fair treatment and sufficient resources.

Prince Ye was in charge of demonstrating the military might of his faction. He organized a series of public exercises to demonstrate his faction's defensive and combat capabilities.

These actions gradually produced results. People began to believe that Song Yao was not who the rumors had portrayed her to be. They saw her sincerity and strength, and saw the hope and security that joining her forces would bring.

However, just when Song Yao's tour was successful, the assassins of the Custer family struck again, this time targeting Song Yao himself. At a public meeting, an assassin who had sneaked into the crowd suddenly attacked and attempted to assassinate Song Yao.

Fortunately, Song Yao's early warning ability saved her life at a critical moment. She sensed the assassin's murderous intent in time and successfully dodged the fatal blow. Hao Jin and Master Ye reacted quickly, subdued the assassin, and learned from him the Custer family's conspiracy.

This incident became a turning point. People realized that the rumors and panic were a conspiracy of the Custer family, who were trying to prevent Song Yao's rise to power in order to protect their own status and interests.

Song Yao took advantage of this opportunity to publicly expose the Custer family's conspiracy, showing the assassins and the evidence in their hands to prove her innocence and determination.

As the Custer family's conspiracy is exposed, some forces that had previously been on the sidelines begin to reconsider their positions. A powerful chamber of commerce, whose president is a shrewd and far-sighted woman, sees Song Yao's potential and determination. She decides to form an alliance with Song Yao, providing financial and resource support.

The president invited Song Yao to the chamber of commerce headquarters to discuss cooperation. Song Yao knew this was an important opportunity and that she might gain a powerful ally. However, she also realized that this could be another trap and she must be careful.

On the way to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Song Yao felt a foreboding premonition. Her power told her that greater challenges lay ahead. She clutched the Crystal of Wisdom tightly, ready to face the unknown. She knew her power was just beginning, and she must become even stronger to survive in this dangerous world.

Song Yao and her companions arrived at the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, a towering building in the heart of the city. The president met them in a luxurious conference room on the top floor. She was a middle-aged woman with a sharp gaze and elegant manner.

"I've heard about your exploits, Song Yao," the Guild Master began, a scrutinizing tone in her voice. "I'm impressed by your strength and determination. But I need to make sure my investment is worth it."

Song Yao nodded. She understood the chairman's concerns. "I will prove that your investment is correct," she replied firmly.

The Guild Master presented a challenge. The Chamber of Commerce had recently encountered difficulties with a shipment of important goods that had been stolen by bandits during transport. The Guild Master hoped Song Yao could help retrieve the goods and safely transport them back to the Chamber of Commerce.

Song Yao accepted the challenge. She knew it wasn't just a mission, but an opportunity to demonstrate her abilities. She and her companions immediately set out for the area where the goods had been stolen.

There, they discovered the bandits' hideout, a secluded valley. Song Yao devised a detailed plan, and together with Hao Jin, Master Ye, and their followers, they prepared to attack.

Under the cover of darkness, they quietly approached the bandit camp. Song Yao used her powers to sense the bandits' location and number. Hao Jin and Master Ye led their followers to quietly eliminate the guards.

After a fierce battle, Song Yao and her companions successfully recovered the goods and safely transported them back to the Chamber of Commerce. The president was very satisfied with their performance and officially announced an alliance with Song Yao, providing a large amount of resources and support.

However, just as Song Yao was about to return to her power, she received disturbing news: the Custer family did not give up because their conspiracy was exposed, and they were planning a new plan, a more dangerous and deadly plan.

It is said that the head of the Custer family has contacted an evil wizard who possesses powerful dark power and plans to use this power to deal a devastating blow to Song Yao's forces.

Song Yao knows she must prepare quickly for the coming threat. Her strength and wisdom will be tested once again, and she must protect her followers and allies, no matter the cost.

On her way back to her own forces, Song Yao gazed at the distant sky, her eyes filled with determination and resolve. She knew the road ahead was filled with uncertainty and danger, but she was ready. She would use her power to protect her followers and her homeland. She would lead them to a brighter future.
