Not a Witch

The girl in a purple and white one-piece dress and a snow-white and purple wizard hat also took off her hat and stood up, revealing her creamy golden hair.

"I'm very glad to be able to help everyone." Immediately afterwards, a magical aura like light smoke emerged from the girl's body, and it was only then that people realized that at some point, there was a new Sequence 7 Transcendent in the organization. A rare undead sequence.

At this moment, although Sequence 7 is no longer as rare as it was during the Western Expedition, the number of the entire empire is definitely not large, and the number allocated to the southern border may not exceed two hands, and it will be more difficult for humans to advance , but correspondingly it will be more powerful, able to compete with ordinary Sequence 8 monsters.

Now, the originally pessimistic members gradually became hopeful.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Girl with the Moon" Luna, this is her title when she was studying in Emenas. As a student who just graduated this year, she had a great reputation when she was in school, but there are few people in the southern border. Just understand.

As the only surviving descendant of the Felula Chamber of Commerce, he rescued Triton asylum during the turmoil in Ubele, and later followed him on a long journey to the sea, accompanied by Lorraine Hill and others, to the stable Lived in the Southern Islands, and later entered Emenas to study, until now he has just graduated.

Under the introduction of several members, many people got to know this talented girl sitting in the back row, and then nodded slightly to her.

After the meeting, the 'Dryer Wood' organization began to function again, and various personnel were mobilized and gathered.

Two days later, on the city wall of Yamazakura Castle.

The blue-haired Jialan, that is, Lorraine Hill and Luna stood together, watching the people below gradually leave the city, forming a long snake-like team.

"I'm leaving today. Will you be a little nervous? This is the first time you have actually participated in a war. I'm afraid you will face many unimaginable problems."

Lorraine Hill asked the girl on the side. Although the two looked about the same size in appearance, they were not.

"Maybe a little bit, but if it's psychological preparation, I've already had it." Luna put her hands on the stone bricks of the city wall that were full of weathering marks.

"Actually, Sister Lorraine was also studying in Emenas before, so she should know that. The school has actually told us this long ago. That is, after graduation, many of our classmates will meet on the battlefield."

"When the empire went west, many of the younger generals on both sides were familiar with each other, but even so, they would not show mercy."

"Once you leave school and enter the real world, many people mature unexpectedly and quickly."

"In this case, I'm relieved." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then put a small tear-shaped pendant into Luna's hand.

"If you ever meet someone who is completely unmatched, use this to escape."

After finishing speaking, she gently tied the pendant around Luna's neck, then nodded, expressing that it looked very nice.

The color of the pendant is transparent, like a crystal, and under the refraction of the sunlight, it reflects a faint colored halo, which has a dreamy feeling, like stars in the night sky, very mysterious.

This is a prop made by Lorraine Hill, which can give her certain guidance at critical moments, and then guide her out of danger.It's just that such props also consume extra power, even she can't use too much, otherwise she will fall into a deep sleep.

"Be careful on the road." Lorraine Hill waved his hand to bid farewell to this junior after the last warning.

Seeing Luna falling down the city wall, and then slowly walking towards the endless and magnificent mountain forest with the team, the girl gradually expressed emotion to herself.

It turned out that Tides saw herself walking out of the forest back then, and it must have been the same feeling.

The younger generations who were once young gradually grew up, broke away from their own shelter, and stepped into this real world step by step.I was worried that she would be injured and suffered a blow because of this, but I couldn't stop her, so I could only stand here suddenly, watching the other person step by step away from me, and then I became a somewhat unfamiliar appearance.

Everyone will change slowly, even myself. I am afraid that when I just woke up in the forest, I would never have thought that one day I would become so decisive and active.

Participate in the changes and waves that change the world, fight against many predecessors, join the war and fight in person, and no longer hide in the quiet and quiet forest.

I always feel that my current appearance has changed a lot from the past.

Fingers gently stroked the slightly cold city wall, full of traces of time, Lorraine Hill slowly closed his eyes, and the faces of the past came to mind again.

Where are those former classmates now? Will they become completely different from me?

------

When the 'Dryer Wood' organization held a meeting to decide on the next course of action, the counter-insurgency army of the empire going south also temporarily rested in Oak Province.

Military camps were stationed along the river, gray tents can be seen everywhere in the woods and hillsides, and bright yellow banners were planted in these camps, with the head of a roaring bear fluttering in the wind.

In a huge tent, the general 'Bazel' was sitting on a huge and thick tree stump, and in front of him was roasting a whole sheep. Its limbs were spread apart, the ribs were exposed, and the browned and crispy meat radiated in the flames. The tempting smell, from time to time, drips into the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound. .

The huge Bazel holds a dagger, casually and easily cuts off the pieces of meat, and then puts it directly into your mouth, without worrying about your tongue being cut, while two soldiers help spread the salt grains and spices.

Although the tent was cozy and peaceful, outside there were four knights holding their swords, blocking several witches in gray robes. In addition, there were also many soldiers around who looked through the woods and looked around curiously.

"My lord general is busy, so it's inconvenient to see guests at this time." A guard knight simply explained.

"I've been saying this for several days, and it's really unconvincing." A younger witch was very angry, as if she had never encountered such a situation.

In the northern border, witches are still a respected profession, not to mention they have letters of recommendation from the Trey family.

"I'm sorry, this is the army. In fact, if it weren't for the recommendation letter from a big person, you would have been dealt with by military law." The knight shook his head, his face could not be seen clearly under the solid metal helmet, only his eyes and part of his lips It is exposed in the gap of the back T-shape.

Although they only have the strength of Sequence 5, they can resonate with the comrades around them at any time. Not to mention, once the fight starts, these personal guards nearby are also elite, and all of them are no less powerful than Sequence 3-4, which makes these witches very happy. It is fear.

Although the strength of the few of them is not weak, the tallest one is no more than Sequence 6, and it is impossible to get past such a line of defense and see the general who leads the army.

Seeing such a scene, a witch took two deep breaths, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and then spoke slowly.

"The reason why we asked to see the general was not out of selfishness, but because we saw some kind of drastic change in fate, so we had to come out to remind him."

"Sorry, I'm just a reckless man who wields a sword and fights. I don't understand your profound things. Unless the general speaks, I won't let you pass." These knights still shook their heads and stopped responding.

"It's really..." The youngest witch wanted to curse, but was stopped by her companions behind her, so she suppressed her voice.

"Okay, let them in."

Finally, a muffled sound came from the giant tent behind, causing the knights outside to bow their heads respectfully.

"Yes, my lord." Afterwards, they parted ways to make way for the other guards.

When the witches walked into the tent, they could still smell the lingering smell of roasted lamb in the air, and there were still sporadic charcoal fires on the ground.

The scene in front of them naturally made them understand what happened here just now, but they dared not speak out, so they could only silently look at the general sitting at the head.

Bazel's body was so strong and tall compared to ordinary people that these people had to look up their heads to see the face clearly.

"Tell me." He spread his legs apart, put one hand on the armor on his knees, and kneaded a soft cloth for wiping his hands with the other.

"We are witches from the Northern Territory of the Empire, led by the Death Oriole. Because in the recent gathering of witches, everyone discovered the deflection of the star's fate, so we sent out various teams to find the reason and answer."

"Afterwards, it was discovered that the general was deeply involved with it, so I came here to remind him."

"Oh, then what exactly do you want?" Bazel seemed to see through this kind of twists and turns, making people guess and send letters, and was quite disdainful.

"Although we are aware of the difference now, we are not sure where the problem is. Therefore, I implore you to let us go with the army. At the same time, we will also give you assistance in intelligence."

As witches of the North, they are good at many things, such as scouting with crows or owls, hunting and assassinating with ghosts, and finally summoning the corpses of the undead on the battlefield to help in the battle. These killing techniques inherited from the Mercury Dynasty are still useful .

"Although you are recommended by the Trey family, and your identities are not suspicious, this is only a statement on the surface. I am the chief general in the army, and I must consider and be responsible for the entire army. I believe in the suggestions of outsiders, causing Internal conflict and rift, this kind of defeat that has happened countless times in history, I am quite familiar with it."

"Who can guarantee that the letter of recommendation in your hands must be true, and there is no time to go to the Trey family to verify it now, so please go back, and don't bother my subordinates, they are only following my orders. "

Although Bazel was ruthless and furious in battle, he wouldn't be too difficult to get along with on weekdays, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve his current position and make countless soldiers willing to follow.

Good fire should be used at critical times, and you can vent it at will on weekdays, but this kind of value will only be wasted.

After hearing such a reply, these witches remained silent, as if they were thinking about how to continue to persuade the general.

It is true that they received the order of the witches' assembly, but why they are so desperate, there are naturally other factors, that is, that special 'adult' is now awake, and this matter is also carried out under the instruction of that 'adult', To witches, this has extraordinary significance.

"Since the adults don't trust you so much, then we have no choice but to show our special strength." One of the older witches slowly walked out from behind, raised his head, revealing the pale chin and face below.

"Oh." Bazel looked at it.

"My lord is not married yet, right?" the witch said.

"Yes, are you going to be a matchmaker?" The general smiled, as if he was not cold.

"No, I'm just revealing the person who is most likely to marry you."

Bazel smiled without saying a word, as if he didn't believe it. The witch continued to speak, and a faint white smoke appeared in her eyes, giving her a strange and psychedelic feeling.

"In fact, you already know her existence. You met in a winter, when you were 13-15 years old." The witch began to speak slowly, and at this time Bazel stopped smiling, Expressionless.

"At that time, the girl's status was higher than yours, but her body didn't seem to be healthy..."

"Enough, needless to say." Bazel sternly stopped.

"Sorry, I offended you, and please forgive me, General." The witch bowed her head.

"From now on, you can follow behind the army. As for food and daily life, you can find a way to solve it yourself." After speaking, the general waved his hand and asked the soldiers to lead the people away.

In this way, this one gradually grew and kept gathering behind the reinforcements from the central provinces, keeping up with a few inconspicuous people.

In the days that followed, they asked to see the general one after another, and slowly scattered all kinds of crows and birds into the night sky to help the army scout the roads along the way and find out information. This kind of role gradually gained the trust of the general.

At the same time, on the other side of the southern border, the battle gradually started.

Red and white flags gathered under the huge hillside stretching for more than ten kilometers, and then gradually went up.

The red dragon on a black background that symbolizes the Baskar family, and the white flowers that symbolize the 'Drywood' and the land of goblins. The two flags intersect and converge. These brand-new warriors hold their shields and muskets high and march forward step by step on the hillside.

The tall towers standing on the cold mountain peaks are ignited with eternal flames, shining on the earth no matter day or night, a giant crossbow supporting the city is aimed at the mountain road below, and the giant arrows that have been piled up in the tower warehouse in the past are also moved out. , placed beside the crossbow, ready to launch at any time.

With the appearance of flags below, the cannons in the castle fortress behind began to roar, and the wrath of the sky fell from the sky and hit the ground.

Over the cold wind howling hillside, immortal birds transformed into flames soared into the sky. They are all the existence of Dragon Sequence 7, and the warriors riding on their backs are also extraordinary people of Dragon Sequence 6.

The ethnicity of this phoenix is ​​the hole card that the Baskar family has hidden for hundreds of years, and now it is finally being used.

Finnis drove the giant bird burning with brilliant flames on the cold peaks, and from time to time, she and her companions waved the flames to detonate the flying cannonballs, and at the same time speeded up to directly attack the giant cannons on the city wall. After destroying these in a short time, our own troops felt that they had suffered huge losses in the siege.

"Wow—!"

However, when these phoenix riders raided the city on top of the mountain, several black shadows also took off behind the side of the mountain, and only then did they discover the figures of these pampas giant eagles.

Although they were only Sequence 5-6 monsters, they couldn't compete with Phoenix, but the sky knights who controlled them knew it well, and they only needed to interfere.

The compressed air blade cut like a blade, making Finnis unable to avoid it, and the hair on the side of the ear fell.Although these pampas giant eagles are average in strength, they are especially good at flying. At the same time, these sharp blades are also extremely fast, making it difficult for the flames of the phoenix to catch up quickly.

Although the phoenix itself is not afraid of such air blades, the rider on its back is not necessarily, so it has to devote all its energy to dodge.

At the same time, the crossbowmen on the city wall began to adjust their giant crossbows, and at the same time aimed one after another of medium-sized crossbows at the phoenix, and began to fire.

These enchanted arrows, engraved with the pattern of lightning, were specially purchased from the Salius family in the west of the empire. They were used to deal with dragons, and now they are used to deal with phoenixes, and they have a good effect.

Griffon knights who have been in charge of lightning guns and slaughtered dragons many times in history are very good at this method, and it is their existence that once the giant dragon in the country of Oz lost in the sky and was shot down by a large number of people .

"put!"

With a roar, the sound of whoosh piercing through the air resounded on the top of the mountain, and then black shadows streaked across the sky in an instant, piercing the body of the phoenix.

The arrows in it exploded in the flaming body, and the golden electric sparks exploded, buzzing endlessly.

The flames of the three phoenixes that were under attack dimmed instantly, and one of them even fell from the sky like a flaming comet, smashing into the city wall.

The giant crossbow and chariot crossbow exploded in the explosion of sparks, and many soldiers died instantly. Fragmented flames and sparks were everywhere, and there was a sound of crying and howling from the city wall.

And when everyone was paying attention to the battle in the sky, a girl in a purple and white dress slowly emerged from the shadows, her tiny figure was so inconspicuous amidst the fierce flames and the chaotic sound waves.
