Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 907 Use the Flame Fist on Him

Earlier, Sonia Sea.

The "Redheaded Lady", carrying a large amount of local specialties from Tuscat Island, was sailing in the thick fog. This thick fog, which appeared a few days ago and made people feel as if they were in a sea of ​​fog, made almost everyone unwilling to go out to sea, except for the ships with sirens as scouts.

On the sea surface where visibility was less than 100 meters, sharp roars were heard from time to time. The sailor at the helm fine-tuned the course according to the direction of the sound to avoid deviating from the direction and hitting the reefs in this sea area with many reefs.

Elaine Soren, who no longer used the "Ring of Madness" to conceal her true appearance after being promoted to "Reaper", stood at the bow, her bright red medium-length hair fluttering in the wind. The humid sea breeze blew in her face, making her squint her eyes.

Her face took on a more androgynous look after she was promoted to Sequence 5. If she tied her hair up and wore loose clothes, she would almost be mistaken for one of those fashion magazines in Trier that changed cover characters every month, except, of course, a man.

This made her feel heavy in her heart, and she hesitated a little about being promoted to "Iron-Blooded Knight".

"Anyway, this is not something I need to consider in the short term... First, I have to complete the task assigned by Miss Angelica, build a real fleet, and then digest the magic potion..."

She muttered, her eyes cast into the thick, creamy fog, feeling that today's fog was a little unusual, while mentally evaluating who else in the team besides William could serve as captain.

Suddenly, the intermittent siren calls stopped.

A moment later, a slender figure emerged from the water on the side of the "Red-haired Girl". The mermaid Ariel slapped the side of the boat with her tail, making a thumping sound, and shouted loudly:
"There are big ships ahead, lots of big ships!"

Under William's careful teaching, she could already speak Loen, the most popular language on the sea, fluently, and also knew a little bit of Intis.

A large ship... Is it a fleet of a certain pirate general passing by, or is it the Sonia Sea Fleet of Feysac going out for training?

Elaine had some guesses, and immediately ordered the ship to turn and head in another direction. Although that would leave the already explored safe channel and even risk getting lost, it was still much safer than colliding head-on with the Feysac Empire's fleet.

Although I and this ship have not been included in Feysac's blacklist, it is only a matter of time before I send contraband and munitions to their rear to help the resistance army... She said self-deprecatingly, looking forward, squinting her eyes, using the hunter's vision to penetrate the thick fog, trying to see the "big ship" in front of her.

In the fog in the distance, a huge sailing ship with sails hoisted high and its sides painted dark brown came silently. Its double decks stretched from bow to stern, and its cannons were pointed ferociously outward. Countless well-trained sailors were walking inside, and from time to time they cast indifferent glances in the direction of Elaine.

That is a sailing battleship of the Feysac Empire!

Elaine's heart tightened, and she instinctively took a few steps back, hiding her body behind the side of the ship.

She was not afraid of the battleship. With the distance so close, a "Reaper" could quickly transform into a flaming spear, fly to the other side, and eliminate those ordinary people with extraordinary combat.

But Ariel was talking about “a lot of big ships.”

Sure enough, a few seconds later, another identical dark brown shadow appeared in the thick fog, followed by the second, the third... The huge fleet in a single column advanced rapidly on the sea in a dense formation, one after another passing the side of the "Redhead Girl" and heading southwest.

From beginning to end, those large-caliber artillery were not pointed at Elaine's ship, as if they did not exist.

Watching the sailing warships leaving at a speed far exceeding normal speed as if helped by a strange force, Elaine inexplicably had an urge to drive her boat to catch up with them, to keep pace with them, and to attack together.

But she immediately came to her senses and realized that this huge fleet was not heading to the Gargas Islands where there were still sporadic resistance movements, but was heading towards the southeast coast of the Kingdom of Loen.

The speed was too fast, over 40 knots, almost flying on the sea. Except for Miss Angelica's ghost ship, I have never seen anything so fast... At this speed, they could reach the coast within two hours and reach Pritz Harbor before noon... But what was the purpose of the Feysac warship going to the port of Loen?
A conclusion suddenly appeared in Elaine's mind, which she herself could not believe, drawn from the ability of a "conspirator":
Is war about to break out?

----

Over the northern district of Backlund, endless dark brown airships were arriving one after another. They sailed out from the thick fog in the north, as if they suddenly appeared here, catching the capital of the kingdom, which was known to have the strongest military among the four major countries, completely off guard.

Of course, the church still responded to some extent.

A terrifying storm visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on the surface of the Holy Wind Cathedral far away in the Cherwood District. Blue-black wind blades formed out of thin air and flew to the north with a whistling sound. The bells of the closer St. Samuel Church rang, and the dull, sleep-inducing tone kept pressing towards the airship formation, making those high-spirited soldiers drowsy, and their movements of throwing bombs and operating artillery slowed down.

Swish, swish, wind blades flew past Angel and hit the fragile canvas airbag of the airship accurately, but they did not achieve the expected effect, but were blocked by an invisible defense. Amid the sound of metal clashing, the fragile but tenacious defense finally defeated the attack from afar. In the strong wind, the airships swayed as if they would crash at any time, but they always floated in the sky of the North District.

As the wind blades dissipated, the second round of attacks had not yet arrived. The soldiers inside the Feysac airship seized the time and gritted their teeth to resist the urge to fall asleep. They pushed the bombs out of the launch port one by one, letting them fall freely downwards. The cannons were also aimed at the streets and buildings below, and flames appeared in the air with roars.

Countless ammunition poured towards Backlund, and the first to bear the brunt was still the technical university directly below, as well as the nearby buildings supporting the school. During school hours, the population here was even denser than that of the East District Factory!

Angel's heart sank suddenly, and the burning blade in his hand once again extended a light composed of thousands of degrees of high temperature. It did not make a large-angle attack in the air, but pointed precisely at the airship that was getting closer for joint defense, and directly penetrated the core of the two war machines.

In an instant, the white mist of high-temperature steam leakage and the flames of explosive explosions flashed before Angel's eyes. The two airships that lost power and exploded from the inside could no longer maintain their altitude and spun towards the streets below. However, at the last moment of landing, they were pulled by some force and smashed into an empty garden and ornamental pool, triggering a new round of explosions.

At the same time, Angel also quickly determined the nature of this defensive ability from the attack and defense of the wind blade and the invisible defense just now. The mystical plague combined with "precision" and "fire control" replaced the ordinary disease and spread rapidly in the haze in the air, which was not as pungent as last year. This will penetrate the defense of the "War Bishop" hidden in the airship troops, resist the barrier he created with high temperature, and kill the people inside the airship!

But, below...

While Angel used the invisible spider silk to pull himself closer to the other airships, he looked at the technical university that was being targeted by countless artillery and hit by a large number of bombs.

She has once again deployed a large-scale mirror defense, trying her best to "confiscate" the bombs and shells directed at the university campus and nearby streets, but the power of one person is extremely limited, and she also has to counterattack and disrupt the enemy in the air, so it is impossible to do everything.

In her sight, one powerful blockbuster bomb after another either fell directly into the mirror world and disappeared silently, or was pulled by invisible threads to an uninhabited area and exploded on the ground, but those shells that were almost invisible to the naked eye broke through the defense and exploded on the street.

A horse-drawn carriage that was driving on the road in panic was hit directly by a shell. The horse pulling the carriage had its legs broken and its stomach ripped open, and it fell to the ground with its body charred black, while the entire carriage behind it had disappeared.

The Intis restaurant, which has exquisite stone pillars and a relief facade, was shaking under the shock wave of the bomb exploding in the air. Glass was shattered, stone pillars collapsed, and the crowd hiding below was hit by the falling rocks and ran to other places crying.

Several students at the campus gate anxiously looked for a hiding place, and finally ran to the subway station on the street, and crowded into the stairs leading to the underground with other people seeking refuge. The next second, a shell accurately hit the crowded entrance and exit, smoke and rubble gushed out from the stairs, and the inside became completely quiet.

……

The scenes that turned into hell on earth despite Angel's best efforts to stop them made her feel hot and angry. This was not only the negative effect of holding the "blade" for a long time, but also her negative emotions towards this war that was promoted by Adam and planned by George III, but broke out with the active attack of the Feysac Empire.

She knew that if she didn't deal with this invading force, innocent people below would die every second because of her incompetence.

A string of connected tin dolls fell from her body and quickly expanded into two-meter-tall giant armored soldiers in the air. They then turned into flames and flew to five different airships in groups of two.

These flames smashed large holes in the sturdy hull of the airship, and a loud roar and thick black smoke immediately came from the interior. The originally neat formation in the air immediately became a little disturbed.

But they quickly restored order under the command of the "War Bishop". The troops that arrived in the rear bypassed the St. Samuel Church, which was still ringing bells, and flew to the southwest. Some airships that had already launched a round of attacks turned to the east, aiming directly at the eastern district with dense factories and a large population.

There were also a small number of airships that did not follow the order and just floated quietly in the air. There was no damage on their exterior, but all the soldiers inside had blood coming out of their mouths and noses, their skin was cyanotic, and they died from an unknown plague with terrified expressions.

But an airship with the same logo as other teammates slowly approached Angel in the air. A purple flame surged from its interior, passing over the metal box and canvas airbag surface, and finally gathered in front of the airship, forming a burly human figure.

Without thinking, Angel knew with his "hunter" instinct that this was the commander of the army that raided Backlund, the "War Bishop".

"I didn't expect that I would actually see a witch in Loen, a witch who helped the people resist the iron hoof of the empire..." Before the flame human body took shape, the words with a roar and a breath of fire reached Angel's ears, "Where are the archbishops? What about the Nighthawks? Could it be..."

Before he could finish his words, Angel's slender figure, who was still a hundred meters away, appeared in front of him at almost flashing speed. His skin was fair, but his fists were clenched tightly, burning with flames and carrying a breath of destruction, and he smashed them towards his face.

boom--

Above the heads of the fleeing people, purple, blue and black flames mixed together, exploding into a huge fireball that engulfed all nearby airships that had not yet left.
