Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 551: The Girl Singing the Legendary Poem

It is the seventh day of the competition, and half of the time has passed. Now all parties have roughly determined each other's power map.

Because of defeating Shui Yanqing, Pulin currently has the most occupied strongholds and ranks first in points.

"So, I suggest attacking in the direction of Miss Blanche or Miss Oddney."

In the hall decorated as white as a palace, a handsome young man with short silver hair introduced the current situation to the people present.

"We have already subdued the neutral force 'Snow Mountain Eagle Cavalry'. They can provide air support and also gather intelligence for us."

Another ice elf woman stood beside the screen and also made a suggestion, "I personally tend to attack in the direction of Miss Blanche. After all, Miss Blanche is the weakest and can't provide any protection. Also, if we attack Odney, our forces will inevitably move towards the central part, which will bring us into contact with Prinn in the west and Heshia in the south, which will bring in too many unexpected factors. If a melee breaks out and the situation becomes stalemate, it will be a waste of time."

……

After that, everyone discussed it for a while before stopping and turning their attention to Orlais, who was sitting on a throne with a silver border and a blue background. The ice elf singer propped up her head and seemed to be thinking about other things.

"What does Lady Orlesi think?"

"...Me?" She raised her head and looked at the power map on the screen, which was divided into different color blocks.

"Then let's go to Blanche."

"Yes, Lady Orles."

Now that the eldest lady of the ice elves had made the decision, the people below quickly took action. In Orles' star cluster, elves accounted for the vast majority, and ice elves were the majority among them.

For the entire federation, ice elves may account for less than one thousandth of the population, but in Orles, they are very common. Ice elves are famous for their long silver-blue hair and beautiful appearance. They are the representative of beauties in many literary and film works. Later, in various versions of fairy tales and movies, Snow White was played by an ice elf, which further strengthened this inherent impression.

Because most of the people in the cluster are young men and young ladies from elven families, and they are generally good-looking, Orlais's cluster easily attracted the attention of many young people. Many people fantasized about falling in love and marrying one of the rich young ladies/men, and many fictional short stories and painting collections created by fans appeared on the Internet.

Although Orles, the singer 'Yin Tianxue', is unattainable, the members under her give people a lot of room for imagination. This kind of tempting reverie has also made Orles's star group's reputation rise rapidly, and it is currently the subject of keen discussion among many young people.

"It's time to act, Aomu." A young man with short silver hair came to the lounge and woke up his companions.

Soon, the blonde elf named Omu stood up, straightened his uniform, picked up his accessories and followed.

"What did the young lady say?" He knew that his companions had just finished a meeting.

"The eldest lady seemed to be thinking about something, but she agreed to our plan to attack the east."

"It seems that the young lady is not very enthusiastic about this game." Omu simply tied up his golden hair into a small braid, which made him look a bit like an artist.

"Yes, unlike other singers, the eldest lady has never lacked anything since she was a child. If she wants to make any proposals, she doesn't have to wait until now. She can do it at any time."

"Ahaha, this is the trouble of happiness. If the young lady looks distressed, it will probably be very cute."

"Haha, you probably don't see this often. Although the eldest lady has a simple personality, she still cares about her image. She is also proud enough and will not let herself show such an expression in front of outsiders."

"What if it's Miss Tilan? I see Miss often hanging out with her."

"They are very good friends. Let's not think about this kind of thing. Let's go and carry out the mission first. I heard that the group of people around Blanche this time are quite strong-willed."

"Integrity, well, that's right. After all, this is the reward proposal they care about the most."

"If it doesn't affect our honor, we can give them this opportunity. But we are serving Miss Orlesi, who comes from a famous family. We can't just give in like this."

"Let's fight to see who wins. I also want to see how strong their backbone is."

……

The two men passed through the stronghold and came to the square outside, where many people were already ready to go.

Ten minutes later, white eagles with draped feathers flapped their wings and took off. These high-level birds of prey of Sequence 5 carried the Eagle Knights high into the sky, then swooped down towards the mountains and plains in the east.

Then a silver airship rose up with its propeller spinning, carrying Ores and a group of members into the sky.

Yes, the speed of an airship is far inferior to that of an airplane, but it flies smoothly, has a beautiful style, has ample space inside, and can be decorated as luxuriously as a palace. This is why they choose airships. Winning or not is not the first priority; maintaining the elegant and beautiful image of the star cluster is the first priority.

In the hall at the front of the airship, Orles sat on the central throne. In front of her was a crescent-shaped transparent glass, which gave her an excellent view of the distance and the earth. On both sides of her stood four sword-wielding members, each listening to her orders.

As the airship slowly passed through the clouds under the sky, a huge white crystal dragon slowly flew across the sky, and its shadow left a similar mark on the ground.

On the other side, the star cluster where Blanche was located began to fight nervously.

"The enemy has launched a massive attack." The projection screen clearly showed giant snow-white eagles swooping down from the thick clouds, carrying fighters on their backs.

Then the scene changed, and above the blue sky, a silver-white airship slowly approached Blanche's core base.

"The other party is so bold and barely tries to hide it. Is this because they are looking down on us?"

"You're right. They really look down on us. It's because I came from a poor village." A member of the think tank pushed his glasses coldly to vent his dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, the others fell silent. The more barren the students were from, the more sensitive they were to this kind of topic. The other party's frivolous and ostentatious style also aroused the dissatisfaction of the members present.

……

Half an hour later, when the 'Snow Mountain Eagle Riders' entered the airspace of the star cluster where Blanche was located, the first battle broke out.

In the sky, the hooded white eagles folded their wings and dived down at an extremely high speed, breaking through the storm of bullets from the machine gun turrets in the ground strongholds, and their sharp claws went straight to the exposed observation port.

The sharp silver claws tore open the metal shell, pierced the components inside, causing some sparks, tore the parts into pieces, causing scattered threads, and then took off again.

After several rounds of this, the machine gun tower on the top was destroyed and the stronghold became precarious.

Just when the Eagle Riders felt they had victory, on the other side of the distant ridge, a number of multi-purpose anti-aircraft vehicles rushed through the forest. They knocked aside the small branches blocking their way and quickly rushed to the designated location on the ridge.

Two minutes later, about 30 anti-aircraft vehicles lined up and stopped on the top of the mountain. Then the anti-aircraft laser cannons on the vehicles rose up and began to focus on the giant eagles that swooped down from time to time.

[Filling with Aijiaka particles...]
[Pipeline starts preheating, select mode: optical cutting mode Σ level]
The base of the light cannon began to gather pure white light feather sequence particles, which then spread along the barrel, and the hook array inside it gradually lit up.

[Coronagraph sighting activated, target assignment started...]
[Target assigned, charging...]
The light cannon moved slowly, and with the rotation and adjustment of the dial on the base, the muzzle gradually locked onto the giant eagles that moved at extremely fast speeds.

[Locked successfully, launch!]
Dazzling white lights suddenly appeared, connecting the muzzle of the gun and the giant eagle flying in the sky. They flashed by almost instantly, leaving dazzling afterimages in the air, like some kind of thick spear.

Soon, those flying giant eagles fell from the sky like dumplings. Their bodies were covered with burnt marks, some had holes in their wings, some were burning like fireballs, and some were covered in dark red blood.

After initially defeating these "Snow Mountain Eagle Cavalry", the morale of Blanche's men was greatly boosted, and they were full of confidence in the subsequent battles. 15 minutes later, the airship where Orles was located appeared on the horizon. When it passed over a forest, dozens of dazzling rays of light suddenly appeared below. Some of these hot rays gathered on the bottom of the airship, and some directly penetrated the airship, bringing up a large area of ​​fire.

Looking at the airship swaying in the sky, the members below were preparing to celebrate when a dragon roar that resounded through the sky shattered their fantasy.

A giant dragon covered with white crystal scales flew out from the shadows behind the airship, with its head raised high and its huge dragon head shocking. It then spewed out freezing breath covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters, turning the entire forest and the people hidden in it into ice sculptures.

Then the entire body of the giant dragon flew out from the shadow behind the airship and swooped down. The huge, whistling dragon wings covered the sky, like a dark night, which made people panic.

The dragon's wings broke giant trees one after another, and its roaring breath washed over the forest. Any members who did not have time to dodge were submerged in snow-white ice crystals. The anti-aircraft tanks that were originally used for ambush also became stiff, cold and brittle, and were crushed and scattered as the dragon's wings passed by. Many people were carried away like ants by the blizzard raised by the dragon, and rushed into the sky and forests.

On the distant mountain top, Blanche watched this scene, her heart sank, and she clutched her collar tightly with her fingers. Even though she knew this was a competition and no one would die, she still couldn't help feeling nervous and scared.

Is this the power of a dragon?

In the sky, the giant white crystal dragon took off again. Its huge and graceful figure was particularly beautiful in the sunlight, but to Blanche, this scene was like doomsday.

There was no fierce confrontation, no loud slogans, only broken pieces of ice scattered all over the ground. With just this one attack, nearly half of Blanche's team members were killed.

Looking at the giant dragon hovering in the sky, the members beside him helped the pale Blanche back carefully, then turned and entered the forest behind them.

In the sky, Orlais was still sitting on the throne in the airship. The airship had regained stability and the previously damaged parts were slowly repairing.

"Why let Miss Blanche go?" a member nearby asked in confusion.

Although Blanche's location was secret, with their special means of observation, they had already discovered that as long as Ores used her mental awareness to notify the giant dragon in the sky, the battle could be resolved with just one breath.

"Why? Maybe it's too cruel." Ores stared at the figure on the projection screen that disappeared into the depths of the forest.

"After all, she is the youngest and the youngest one, and I am not such a cold-blooded person." She thought for a moment.

"With the permission of Lady Orles."

One member praised, and then the others echoed. The whole hall was peaceful, and the members of the Star Group stood with their heads held high, as if they were honored.

On the ground, several members of the Star Cluster were running rapidly in the forest with Blanche, passing through various grasses, bushes, and trees along the way. Their bodies were also covered with scratches and dust.

Half an hour later, everyone who arrived at the safe base finally stopped. They counted the number of people again and found that only 27 people were left.

The atmosphere was very dull and depressing. This environment made Blanche lower her head and feel uneasy. Although no one scolded her, she thought to herself that if she were stronger, she might not have been defeated so miserably.

Even though she knew she was still young and the time she had spent as a singer could not be compared to that of others, she still could not remain calm when she entered the cruel elimination round.

It's really strange. Where did my usual self go? There's nothing to cry about, Blanche said to herself while wiping her tears, but she couldn't help but feel something dripping from her eyes.

Perhaps, she finally slowly realized that even if she could find countless reasons for her weakness, failure was failure. Those who desperately supported her were crushed like ants and thrown into the wind and snow.

Reality will not be tolerant just because you are a novice. It will only show you its more cruel side.

After sobbing for a while, Blanche raised her head and smiled with tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Let's go. We still have to work hard later."

Seeing her cheer up, everyone who originally wanted to comfort her stopped talking.

Afterwards, a group of people began to set up a stronghold to delay the enemy as much as possible, and then continued to move backwards with Blanche.

It would be difficult to defeat Ores, who possessed the giant white crystal dragon, on a frontal battlefield. They had to find another way. Perhaps asking for help from Odni, the only neighboring country, would be a good choice, but the other party would probably not agree easily. In the end, they had to rely on themselves.

All the members were silent, thinking of various methods.

……

Over the next two days, the star group led by Orles defeated Blanche's strongholds one by one and gradually approached the last fortress.

In the square of the stronghold, Blanche, wearing a golden gauze dress, looked at the soldiers below who were ready. They were arranged in a golden and red array. The ones in red armor were from the neutral force "Blood Steel Knights" and the ones in gold were the remaining members of the star cluster.

The adjutant beside her nodded to Blanche, and she responded slightly, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Now, let me sing the ancient dragon-slaying song for everyone."

……

"The story hidden in the dust, the legend recorded in the poem of the red beech tree..."

"The hero with his palms wounded and covered with dead leaves walked out of the land of red leaves..."

"The blue bowstring bursts into flames..."

"The flowers that tell of parting bloom by the roadside..."

"The eyes that were wounded by the monster opened..."

"Sad memories gradually awaken..."

"That was a misfortune in childhood and the beginning of all the tragedies."

"The figure in love fades into the past, and the closed eyes sleep quietly under the tree..."

"I once vowed to let her rest in peace, and I still remember this promise."

"The dark curse entangles the bow and arrow, and the silver arrow pierces the sky..."

"The bright moon in the sky dimmed, the birdsong in the world stopped, and the blood stained with poison flowed..."

"The arrows are shot out again and again, shining brightly again and again..."

"I hereby swear to give my life to the arrow that pierces the winged king of the sky."

"Dragon, fall here."
