The war in the Western Continent was in full swing. After sending troops northward from the southern border, the Eastern Empire also began to act. Although the two parties have not been in formal contact, there is some kind of tacit understanding at this moment.
Large-scale battles began to break out on the front line of the confrontation, and the Western Empire, due to the transfer of a lot of troops, is now tending to conservative defense and blocking the enemy's attack.
High Dan Plain, Typhon Fortress.
This ancient fortress was on the front line of the war between the East and West Empires. Now it has been renovated and is no longer in the semi-abandoned state. Several satellite guard towers have been added around to increase its defense.
At night, two figures with special temperament stood on the tower in the fortress overlooking, one of them was wearing a dark blue dress, black hair hanging around his waist, with lapis lazuli-like pupils, the other wearing a light gray Like white armor, with golden hair and eyes.
If you are familiar with the witches in the world today, you can probably easily guess that the black-haired woman in the dark blue dress is the witch of the 'Beast of Tyranny', Ibel, and at the same time, standing beside her is ' The witch who dances her sword, Gabriela.
"So, Si Ye said let's help imitate Hua Silin and increase the strength of the Western Empire, right?" The woman with lapis lazuli eyes leaned over the fence of the tower, feeling the cool night wind blowing across her forehead.
"Yes, because the western region is suitable for now." Gabriela moved her body a little, and the armor on her body made a crisp metal collision sound, like wind chimes and music.
"You also know the Eastern Empire, because of blood and historical reasons, they are very close to the elves, and now Ai Hekatri, who represents the elves, has said that he will not interfere in the battle with the star witch."
"So, it's easy to think that the elves will also maintain some kind of neutrality and will not follow our orders."
"The North Territory is Ggared's territory. I don't like her very much, so I won't go to her." Gabriela never caught a cold with the gloomy witch, and even the same faction rarely communicated with her. .
"Ah... Suddenly I don't have much motivation." Ibeier was attached to the railing, and the slightly mature voice line lazily complained.
"Why do you say this suddenly." Gabriela turned around.
"Because of losing face and being beaten by younger juniors, I feel like I don't want to see anyone anymore." Ibel still looked at the scenery below, and didn't want to turn her head to talk to Gabriela.
"Originally, I wanted to go back and continue to sleep, but you said you were going to fight again, so I finally rushed over and found that you two didn't care much. I felt that I was the same as a fool before." Played with these scumbag teammates.
"Anyway, it's not bad to let the Star Witch be the big housekeeper of the empire. I don't think Si Ye is sitting in that position anymore, and he's not as lively and cute as before."
"Cough, how can you be so slack." Gabriela pressed her hand on the black-haired witch's shoulder and forced her to turn around.
"Our group of witches just conceded defeat so easily. What will other people think after that? We finally managed to defeat Dorothy and the others, and then we established our cohesion."
"But now it's useless for you to worry about Gabriela. Look at Kerros, she has always been so indulgent, the Ayhekatri family is originally a half-elf bloodline, not the same as us, Gegared. It's so gloomy, and I usually talk mysteriously, and I can't get used to it hundreds of years ago." Since being defeated by Loren Hill, Ibel has felt that she doesn't want to see people. I don't want to move.
"Ibel" Gabriela loudly said the name of the witch in front of her. Fortunately, the top of the tower where the two were located had a soundproof barrier, otherwise they would have been heard by the soldiers below.
"Yes, yes, I'm listening."
"You were so proud and powerful in the past, why are you now like a chicken hiding in the grass, you have no courage or pursuit."
"Yeah, I used to be very proud and powerful, and I thought so too, but it's too embarrassing, I don't want to see everyone again." Ibeier turned her face away.
Because of the long lifespan, the evaluation of mortals will not cause any fluctuations in the witch, but it is different for the witches who have the same long lifespan. When they think of this incident, they will remember it for thousands of years, and it is estimated that it will be mentioned in hundreds of years, and Ibel will suddenly feel bad.
The more proud you are, the more intolerable it is, but things have already happened, and if you go back and make trouble, it is estimated that you will be looked down upon for the second time, so...
"So, I don't really want to show up, Gabriela, just let me go." Ibel said angrily.
"You!" Seeing this familiar witch girl become like this, Gabriela felt an urge to fight, but in the end, she couldn't, she could only put the witch in the black and blue dress down from her hands.
The relationship between witches is also close and distant. Gabriela and Ibel became witches at the same time, so the relationship needs to be much closer, so that the two can speak without restraint.
"Hmph, you just backed off like this." Gabriela still hummed, dissatisfied with the performance of her companion.
"That's it, you help the Griffin family to cultivate more griffins. I see that they have the air superiority of Griffins, which is of great help to the war."
"You don't need to contact Duke Griffin, just help in secret. It shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Well..." Originally, Ibel still wanted to raise her hand to refuse, but looking at Gabriela's burning eyes, considering that the two are currently very close, she would definitely suffer from a fight with her, so she changed it in an instant. next mouth.
"It's not impossible." Ibeier thought, she's idle anyway, why don't you go and catch the only potential monsters to train, so that you can have a gatekeeper when you sleep in the future, so that you won't be disturbed by others.
Because of the existence of Chris, the Mirror Witch, their faction is of no use in hiding. The Witch's ability to cross space is as easy as drinking water.
When the witches of the empire's faction gradually started to act again, Roland Hill also began to think about how to deal with the witches of the empire's faction.
"What is Loren's plan? Is it the same as before? We are sitting at the border and inside the core to deal with possible witch opponents."
In the tower's room, a familiar guest came today, Vimiya.
Compared with the past, Vimiya is now a little more mature, her soft blue hair is slightly curled, falling between her fair neck and collarbone, with a charming charm.
"I used to think this way, but now I feel more and more restrained." Roland Hill sat on the half-opened windowsill. Although there was not much space there, this girl was already slender and fit.
The pure white dress is matched with the light green ribbon around the waist, which is inexplicably harmonious with her long blue hair, and has a simple and relaxed temperament.
"So, are you planning to attack this time?" Wei Miya said with a smile.
"Yes, I left transmission beacons at Falfna and the two front lines, so that if there is any change, we can quickly return to defend. It shouldn't be a problem."
"No, you can feel it on the opposite side. If you or I are not there, the witch on the opposite side can also perceive it and will react quickly."
"So, this time, I'll ask Tides for some support." Loren Hill leaned against the inner wall on the side of the windowsill, talking about recent events.
"Are there other witches coming back to support?" Vimiya asked thoughtfully.
"Well, but I don't know who it is. Tides said, I need to ask everyone."
"Because it hasn't been many years since the world has changed, many witches have been secluded in various places and slowly regain their strength, and there are not many who come out to do activities." Wei Miya and Roland Hill explained the reason.
"The witches on Tides, um... I don't know much. Most of the witches Phoebe told me before were witches from ancient times, such as Selene, Trinasa, and Befas. witch."
Phoebe can be said to be the oldest group of witches, and the contemporaries of Artatis and even Julis, the blood moon witch, must know about the witches of the same generation, but the younger generation may not know much.
"Since Lorraine has made up his mind, then I'll just stand by and support it." Wei Miya looked at the girl in front of her, a faint kindness and happiness slowly emerged, and unconsciously there was a smile on her face.
Come on, Roland Hill, she meditated to herself.
"Yes." Roland Hill also responded softly.
As the end of the year approached, the temperature in the west began to drop, and many roads in the mountains were also covered with snow, which greatly weakened the mobility of both sides and eased the progress of the war a little.
When the western border was in danger, the great nobles began to gather frequently to discuss and decide various things together. Although quarrels were inevitable in the middle, fortunately, they gradually unified their fronts and consciousness, and there was a lot of cooperation and coordination with each other. It is no longer the same as in the past, who fought alone and kept their own fiefs.
Grizzly collar, Gray Mountain City.
The sound of metal banging came from the mountainside, the sturdy and heavy gate was slowly pulled up by the winch and iron rope, and then groups of cavalry wearing iron armor and gray clothes and wearing wolf-head helmets entered the city in a hurry.
"How is the battle ahead?"
In the mansion of the city lord's mansion in Gray Mountain City, Isaiah saw the regiment leader who led the troops.
"It's too bad, Lord Jerain is very strong." The leader of the 'Legacy Cavalry' took off his helmet, revealing his sweaty hair, and the slightest heat rising.
"I know, what's the specific situation." Isaiah told this guy not to worry, drink some water to ease.
After Gulong Gulong poured several teapots of water, the head of the regiment stopped to drink water under the surprised eyes of the maid.
After the maid went out with the empty teapot and cup, the head of the regiment gave a detailed account of the battle in Tachibanahara some time ago.
"At first, the artillery bombing supported by the southern border, but the soldiers who operated the artillery were not very accurate, so the first round did not blow up the city wall."
"Then Lord Ludes took the Griffin Knights to the sky to fight, destroying a lot of cannons, which bought time for the follow-up."
"The enemy's soldiers are other nobles in the West, or members of the 'Fairy Wood' in the South."
"It's the coalition of other rebel nobles in the western region. Although the southern region has given a lot of support, some witches and mages were assigned to join the battlefield during the battle."
"Is that so..." Isaiah knocked on the armrest unconsciously, holding her chin and thinking about where the soldiers who entered the Western Region went.
"Southern's attack on Xijin is divided into two groups, one is led by Gu Huasi and others, and the other is headed by Jerain. But at present, it is obvious that the team supporting Jelan has not stayed with this lion. together."
Where would they go if they went it alone? Isaiah looked up at the map. Most of Xijin was hills and mountains, with only a few basins and plains.
His eyes swept slowly, recalling the terrain along the way, recalling possible gaps and loopholes.
No, no.
After pondering for a long time, he shook his head.
Even if there is a possibility of a surprise attack, in order to achieve such a goal, it is not a cost-effective thing to make such an elite army travel hard and consume a lot of physical strength and energy, unless...
Unless their purpose was not here, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he quickly looked at the map on the wall. Although there were hills and mountains to the west, the area near the east was much flatter, and if it took up high ground, it would A dive attack in the northeast can quickly cut off the connection between the western border and the central provinces.
This is really the case, the West Empire is currently in danger.
The central provinces were originally areas that belonged directly to the royal family, and many of the nobles were the emperor’s henchmen or descendants of blood. Now, after being occupied by the nobles in the western region, the land naturally no longer belongs to the original nobles, and the food on these high-quality lands is , were also transported away to support the interior of the Western Territory.
Over the years, there have been many conflicts between the great nobles in the Western Region and the local forces, and some conflicts even require an uprising to resolve them.
If that army goes to the middle...
A scene like that suddenly appeared in Isaiah's mind, a forest full of dry branches and fallen leaves, and a person with a whole body of flames came.
"I'm going to suffer." He stood up suddenly, startling the head of the wolf-toothed cavalry regiment next to him.
"What happened, my lord?"
This wolf-tooth cavalry commander has an unusual relationship with Isaiah. His mother is the elder sister of the current Earl of Wolfthorn, and Isaiah's brother-in-law is the current Earl of Wolfthorn.
"I'm going to report the matter to the Duke, and we'll talk about the rest later."
After speaking, the man in the white military uniform quickly walked out of the room, leaving only the man who was still a little confused.
Central Empire, Cold Lake Province.
When Jerain attracted the attention of most people in the western region, a team of fairy trees arrived here through a fast march.
The local western garrison did not expect the attack from the rear at all, and was confused at the beginning. The gunshots that sounded from time to time in the mountains and forests echoed in the valley again and again, making the defenders in the city exhausted to deal with it, and finally by the fairy tree. Break each.
As a result, like a fierce fire falling into an oil pan, the central provinces occupied by the Western Empire began to revolt and respond on a large scale, while a gap was drawn between the interior of the Western Region and the center of the empire to separate them.
