The snowy forest suddenly fell silent, except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing through the treetops overhead.
Phyllis was silent for a long time, "I thought you would stand on Taquila's side," she said unwillingly, "You are obviously willing to represent Taquila witches in the competition, and you are willing to help..."
The voice quickly fell, yes, I shouldn't impose too much, this is just a game. Compared with the Taquila Quest that once excluded her, Neverwinter City, which had obviously saved her life, was more trustworthy. Moreover, in Agatha's eyes, it remains to be seen whether they are the inheritors of Taquila... After all, after they were transformed into the God's Punishment Army, they have lost the possibility of casting magic.
However, the next sentence of the other party made her hope again.
"I'm a Taquila witch, and that won't change."
Agatha's voice was calm and frank, as if she was making the simplest statement.
"Then why do you think we should accept the leadership of mortals?" Phyllis felt genuinely puzzled.
"Taquila... Or Starfall City, Anrietta, and dozens of cities on the Fertile Plain, all of them unanimously decided to accept the leadership of the Federation. Is it just because the Federation was established by witches?" Agatha He sighed lightly, "Have you forgotten the original intention of the federation?"
The original... purpose, whether it was the round table parliament at the beginning, or the three-seat system later, the federation only wanted to achieve one thing. "Defeat the devil," Phyllis whispered.
"Yes, defeating the devil has nothing to do with being a mortal or not. After the first battle of divine will, the witches cut off the authority of mortals and ruled the Fertile Plain, just because their performance was too weak, and limited cooperation could not resist the devil. Now that the mortals have shown their power, what is the difference between us serving in the Federation and serving Roland Wimbledon? Only he can unify the entire secular regime and accept the witches of this era.”
Agatha's words flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.
Phyllis finds she seems to have misunderstood something, and is surprised by new ideas.
"You mean... Neverwinter is the new Federation?"
"It's part of the Federation," Agatha corrected, "Of course, Your Majesty may not like this name. But no matter what it will be called in the future, the essence is still the same. In order to win the will of God, whether it is Taquila or Starfall City. , as well as the Mutual Aid Society, Sleeping Island... and the worldly kingdoms, will all unite and start a bloody battle with the devil to decide their fate. This is not a question of loyalty, but for the sake of continuation, the reason why I can survive from the ice coffin, It is for the moment of defeating the devil."
That's why she answered that she was loyal to her own beliefs.
Phyllis finally understood what the other party was thinking.
Agatha hopes to win the competition on behalf of Taquila, and it does not conflict with her playing for Roland Wimbledon, just as all the city-states in the Fertile Plains played for the Federation four hundred years ago. The only difference is that the leader of the new alliance has been replaced by a mortal from three seats.
"Your evaluation of him is really high enough," she said with mixed feelings. "If it's just to defeat the devil, we are also working hard, and once the chosen one is found, the situation will be reversed."
"But haven't I found it yet? Or, I have found an unexpected chosen one." Agatha chuckled, "Don't worry, if there is such a witch, His Majesty will definitely not stop you from ending the will of God. In fact, he will only try his best to help you find her. This is also the reason why I hope you can move to the western region of Greycastle. There will inevitably be more and more witches willing to settle here, and the chances of you finding the Chosen One will also be higher. big, isn't it?"
Phyllis found that she was persuaded. Although she didn't want to admit it, what she said was indeed reasonable, "The premise is that he can indeed block the devil... Do you really have this confidence in mortals?"
"If it is a mortal who connects witches and all ordinary people closely, I think it can be expected." Agatha raised her mouth, "Didn't Your Majesty prepare an artillery exercise for you? After the visit, maybe you You can see where my confidence comes from.”
The so-called artillery exercise should be the key to the art she mentioned before... Although I don't know what the two have to do with fighting against the devil, but even the genius high-level witch said so, so I look forward to it. Just now.
Just then, a series of loud roars passed through the forest, causing the branches to tremble, "Ow!"
Phyllis's expression changed suddenly.
This voice was all too familiar to her. It was clearly the neigh of a flying terrifying beast, "How can there be a devil here?"
"It's Maisie," Agatha curled her lips, "her evolved ability is to become anything that can fly, and the devil is no exception."
It turned out to be caused by her ability, she breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly frowned, "In this case, it's too easy for her to catch the evil beast, right?"
A single low-level evil beast has no consciousness, and it is easy to surrender to a more powerful creature. If it is faced with a flying beast, I am afraid that it will be too frightened to move on the spot. It is completely accurate. Not to mention that transporting prey from the air is much faster than hauling it through the snow, so how can they be victorious
"Don't worry," Agatha seemed to see through her thoughts, "we are not without a chance. Maisie's ability is indeed very convenient, but neither she nor Lightning, or all the witches here, have experienced strict Combat training, in other words, they can't reasonably use every magic power."
As she spoke, a dark shadow passed over her head, grabbing a wild boar-type evil beast and flying towards the city wall. It could be seen that her figure was astonishingly large. Even an adult horror beast among the devils was probably smaller than her. Last lap.
"You mean... Maisie can't hold out until the sun goes down?"
"The aura of the terrifying beast is too strong, and will drive away the prey in the active area in advance. As a result, she will first turn into a pigeon and lightning to search for the target, and then suddenly turn into a terrifying beast to capture the evil beast. The change is An extremely mana-consuming process, when the mana is exhausted, it will be difficult to maintain efficient capture efficiency by relying on lightning alone." Agatha smiled, "So the next evil beast is up to you, and I'm only responsible for containing it. its actions."
Phyllis's eyes lit up. For them, learning how to squeeze every potential of their own is a required course in battle. At this point, the group of newly promoted high-ranking witches are indeed no different from the fledgling novices.
"Yes, leave it to me!"
