Chapter 1044 Misu's Surprise
Standing in a trance, Shiro didn't know how to respond.
'There's still a chance to get Isilia and Edvimar back?' She thought to herself in disbelief as she couldn't help stumble back.
Falling on the ground, Shiro sat for a moment to digest everything she had heard.
"Nan Tian…" Shiro called out as she looked up at the ceiling.
"Mn?"
"Isilia and Edvimar can be saved right?" Shiro asked as Nan Tian nodded.
"Yes, there's a chance now."
Hearing this, Shiro closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Biting her lip, Shiro suppressed the urge to cry as she stood up.
"Let's rest soon. We got a big day ahead of us tomorrow. I want to take another zone and rack up some points. We got 7 days to sort through everything and by the end, I want us to have as many zones as we can get. Even if we can't get more than half of them to secure a win. Leave nothing for the others." Shiro spoke as there was now burning determination in her eyes.
Seeing this, Nan Tian nodded his head.
"Mn, should I take a zone? It's not like I'll be wandering around much." He asked as Shiro nodded her head.
"We'll save you till last since I'll be joining in a few fights. I know that we don't want others to find out about my powers. However, with my strength, we'll be able to storm their zone easily. If they bring an army, I'll crush that army." Shiro grinned as she stretched her body.
"Before you sleep you might want to deal with Misu first." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro nodded her head.
"True. If I slept and she needed me, that would be quite awkward. I'll stay up for another hour or so. I'll be practicing some runes so that I can use them in combat." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian nodded.
Pushing his wheelchair to the side, he picked up the tablet and started to browse the net while Shiro stood in the centre of the room.
Pushing out with her hands, golden runes flickered around her as she had another go at stopping time so that she could move around.
Time passed as Nan Tian yawned slightly from the side.
"If you're tired you can go to sleep early you know?" Shiro said as Nan Tian shook his head.
"It's fine. I'll sleep in a bit."
Hearing this, Shiro nodded her head as she resumed her training. However, after 5 minutes, she received a call on her phone.
"Seems like Misu's finished looking around." Shiro muttered.
Pulling out her phone, she accepted the call.
"Did you enjoy looking around the city?" Shiro asked with a smile.
"Yes I did. This city is quite peaceful isn't it?"
"Yup. Thanks to everyone working hard in the city, the daily lives of people here are pretty good. Hopefully, this is the same for every city we establish. Right now, there are only two floating cities. I am thinking of converting more, but the power supply of the other cities might not be able to handle it." Shiro shrugged.
"Unfortunately, I don't think I can help much when it comes to matters like this."
"It's fine, you just need to activate an anchor on the city so that I can link it up to my anchor and form a core to power the city. But we can talk about this in more detail tomorrow. Will you be resting here or will you be resting in your city?" Shiro asked.
"Hm… I'll rest here if you don't mind."
"Sure, I've already prepared a room for you. I'll open a portal for you now ok?"
"Wait wh-"
Before Misu could finish what she was saying, Shiro had locked onto her position and opened a portal in front of her.
Blinking her eyes in surprise, Misu was a little speechless at how easy it was for Shiro to just open a portal for someone.
If she wanted to, she could probably open a portal beneath someone's feet and send them into a volcano. Not that it would work on someone that could fly but the opportunities are there.
Shrugging her shoulders, Misu stepped into the portal.
"Enjoy you rest. I'll call you tomorrow morning when we're going to be moving out to capture more zones."
Ending the call, Shiro yawned.
"Finally, it's time to sleep." She sighed as they were staying up late because of Misu. Now that she's went to her room, they could finally sleep properly.
###
Standing in her room silently, Misu looked at the giant bed in the centre and sighed.
"Your highness, I'll sleep on the couch." Her subordinate coughed as he didn't dare share a bed with her.
"Alright." Nodding her head, Misu waved her hand as a veil of shadows acted as a curtain around the bed.
Laying down, she looked at the ceiling before glancing down at the tablet in her hand.
The technology of this city was far ahead of anything she had seen so far. Even looking at the videos of society before the new age arrived, Misu could tell that what Shiro has is obviously abnormal.
The defensive turrets, the military base where she watched the soldiers train with guns and even the armour that they produced here was far better than what they could find in other cities.
Plus, there was still a large part of this city that she hadn't explored. But she figured that she had probably seen most of the things here.
'I think it's the military base tomorrow as well as helping her take a zone from what she's told me. I wonder how many tier 6's they have…' Misu thought to herself as she closed her eyes.
###
"?????"
"So, I would like to introduce you to the people here. This is my father, my sister, my cousin, my friends, my friend's adoptive parent, my students and my contracted spirits." Shiro introduced as she started to name them one by one.
Listening silently, Misu wanted to question why the hell does she have so many tier 6's. Plus, from the aura that she could feel from all of the tier 6's, they pose a massive danger to the Queens if they're not careful.
'She's basically got a squad of Queen Slayers!? I thought each tier 6 was supposed to be obtained through blood sweat and tears and yet there were enough tier 6's here to be split amongst two Queens.
"Oh and my contracted spirits are basically pseudo demi gods. There's one more but she's the life line of the zone so she won't be joining us here in the command centre." Shiro explained as Misu nodded her head absentmindedly.
"Anyways come with me, I'll show you to our main attack force when it comes to taking zones so you know what to expect." Shiro smiled as she created a portal.
Stepping through with Misu and Nan Tian, Shiro teleported the three of them to the mech hangers.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Shiro, Shiina and the other specialised pilots saluted.
"These are the specialised pilots. The best of the best that we have and our vanguard. Each of them can kill a tier 5 with ease and Glen here is the first to have killed two tier 6's without anyone's help." Shiro praised as Glen couldn't help but blush.
Feeling the gazes of his fellow pilots on him, he couldn't help but feel proud.
"He killed two tier 6's?" Misu asked in disbelief as the teen wasn't even tier 5 yet.
The fact that a tier 4 actually killed two tier 6's seemed impossible.
"I wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't for her highness's mech." Glen spoke up as Misu raised an eyebrow.
"I believe a mech is those big robot things right?" Misu asked as Shiro nodded her head.
"Yup. Come with me, I'll show you where they are."
Gesturing for Misu to follow her, the three of them made their way further down before Shiro snapped her fingers.
One by one, the cover hiding the mechs started to shift as the machines of war revealed themselves.
Glancing up at the mech and feeling its aura, Misu could somewhat understand how he was able to do it. Each mech felt like a peak tier 5 being and killing a tier 6 would be possible if taken off guard.
However, there lies the problem. It was practically impossible to be taken off guard by something this big but since neither Shiro nor Glen seemed like they were lying, Misu figured that there was probably more to it than meets the eye.
"You'll be able to see them in action later. For now, let's go to the command centre and prepare our next attack.
"There are two Queens that have stationed their capture zones near here so I want to be taking one of them by tomorrow at the latest."
"If you show me their crests I might be able to tell you about them." Misu spoke up as Shiro raised an eyebrow.
"Perfect. In that case let's go to the command centre so that everyone else can hear about this too."
Waving her hand, a portal opened in front of her as the three of them left the area.
