Fjords, Sea Dragon Bay. <
The Church's believers climbed up the wall and shot arrows at the witches, but faced with Shavi's invisible barrier and Molly's magic servants, it had little effect.The arrows either fell from the sky or were swallowed by the servants. Only when the other party shot an arrow embedded with a God's Stone of Retaliation would it pose a threat.
After all, the number of God's Stones of Retaliation was limited, so the unfortunate witches who were shot would immediately be dragged to the rear for treatment. As long as the bleeding was stopped in time, their lives would not be in danger. After two or three rounds of shooting, more than twenty witches had already advanced to the wall. Ashes jumped onto the top of the wall and cleaned up the believers who dared to show their heads.
After a few days of pre-battle investigation, they knew the weak points of this wall like the back of their hands.The cries of pigeons came from the sky. It was Maggie telling them that they had arrived at the correct location.
Lotus, who had experienced several previous battles, did not hesitate to use her ability. The ground suddenly shook, and the believers of the church wanted to rush over to stop it, but they were all killed by Ashes one by one. Without the protection of the God's Stone of Retaliation, the walls soon collapsed, allowing the witches to rush in and use their abilities to attack the believers. More than half of the believers who weren't wearing the God's Stone of Retaliation instantly fell down, while those who were still standing were cleanly harvested by Ashes.
This was the first time the church had been attacked since it was built, and the enemy was the church's mortal enemy. The priest who was stationed here also knew that it was the last moment. He called for the remaining believers to take the pill and sacrifice themselves for God.More than a dozen crazy believers used their flesh and blood to entangle Ashes, while the rest of them rushed towards Lotus and the others.
Lotus, who was already prepared, raised an earthen wall from the ground, temporarily blocking the enemy. The God's Stone of Retaliation couldn't eliminate the magic effect that had already been completed, so when they bypassed the earthen wall, they found that there was nothing behind it.
The manic believers had to return to besiege Ashes, but the group of witches would suddenly appear behind them and knock down the enemies who were caught off guard. Every time this happened, the opponents would suffer losses. In this way, after an hour of fierce fighting, the church was filled with the bodies of believers, and finally, only the priest was left.
He trembled as he put the pill in his mouth, but before he could swallow it, Ashes, who had walked up to him, cut off his arm with a slash of her sword.
"You damn evildoer! A monster cursed by the devil! "He held his severed hand and roared hysterically, his eyes filled with fear.
"Are you afraid? When you tortured and slaughtered those innocent people, did you think about their feelings? " Ashes coldly said, "Compared to witches, you are more like the devil's minions, scum who do all kinds of evil. So, be at ease and go report to hell. "With that, the giant sword chopped down, cutting off his curse in his throat.
"Did we win?" Molly walked up to her, still in disbelief.
"That's right," Ashes breathed a sigh of relief. "This is the last church in the Fjords. From now on, there will be no more strongholds of the church on the islands. We've won!"
Although the power of the church in the Fjords was very weak, with each church having no more than a hundred believers, and there was no Army of Judges stationed there, this was the first time that the witches had won a direct confrontation with the church. From the beginning, when they were chased around by the other side, when they heard the slightest news, they would tremble in fear. Now, they had captured the church and knocked down the behemoth of the past. Even if it was only a small part of the church, it was enough to make the witches extremely excited.
Just as she had expected, after everyone had confirmed this long-awaited victory, they couldn't help but cheer loudly. The church was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heart. Now, they had finally moved the foot of the mountain, allowing a ray of light to shine in. From now on, the Fjords would become their true home.
"We won!"
"Long live Lady Tilly!"
"Coo coo!"
...
After returning to Sleeping Island by boat, Ashes couldn't wait to rush back to Tilly's residence and tell her the news of the witches' complete victory. Tilly tucked her gray hair behind her ears and revealed a bright smile. "Maggie has already told me. I heard that you are all safe and sound. This is really great."
Indeed, compared to a sailboat, she could fly much faster after turning into a seabird. Ashes looked around, but didn't see that familiar figure. "Where's Maggie?"
"She left, right after reporting the news of the victory." Tilly shook her head helplessly.
Ashes was startled. "She... returned to the Western Region?"
"Yes," Tilly smiled. "She probably also met a very good friend over there. It's only been a few days, but she can't wait to go back. If it wasn't to help us defeat the church, I'm afraid she would have returned to Border Town the same day she delivered the letter... I'm really getting more and more curious about that side. "
Ashes hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth. "Should I not have left her there?"
"No, this is very good," the 5th Princess replied in a confident tone. "Because you let Maggie stay in Border Town, we can easily get in touch with the other side. I also asked her to deliver the reply to Roland and Wimbledon." She made a face. "Guess what I replied to him?"
"Of course I refused. Sailing across the sea is full of risks. How can we send witches to the Western Region?"
"No, I agreed to his request." Tilly raised the corner of her mouth. "I also briefly introduced the abilities of non-combat witches to him. In the letter, he said that as long as he could protect the witches, I could consider letting some witches go to Border Town. Hmm, what did he say?By the way, we can investigate and learn, promote friendship, and work together to make progress. "She paused." If necessary, I can even go to Border Town in person. "
"Your Highness!" Ashes could not help but call out the honorific she had used when she was a palace guard.
"I know what you are worried about, but at present, the biggest enemy of witches is the Church. For this reason, one more ally means one more strength. Dealing with the Fjords Islands is a relationship of interest, while the Witch Cooperation Association of Border Town is a natural friend. Since we are friends, why not show some goodwill? " Tilly laughed. "Moreover, I heard from Maggie that witches can further evolve their abilities by learning new knowledge. Aren't you curious? If the witches we send can also learn this skill, Sleeping Island will certainly benefit a lot. "
"But if you go in person, in case the other side..."
Tilly stretched out her hand to interrupt Ashes. "Rest assured, I am not saying that I will leave immediately. Before the situation is clear, I will not personally go to a dangerous place. Don't forget, Sylvie can see through all disguises. Whether it is delicate makeup or magic illusions, nothing can escape her eyes. As long as the first group of people go to Border Town, she can help me find out the truth about the 4th Prince. Besides, even if I am in danger, don't I still have you by my side? "
Ashes looked at her for a long time and finally nodded.
"Of course, the specific situation can wait until Maggie comes back next month." Tilly smiled. "We have a more important thing to do now."
"What?" Ashes asked in surprise. Now that the Church in the Fjords had been destroyed, it seemed that they only needed to focus on the construction of Sleeping Island... but the other side's expression did not seem to be the case.
The 5th Princess pointed to the red gemstone on her white silk gloves. "Not only in the Kingdom, there is also an ancient ruin on the Shadow Islands in the Fjords. Most of the Magic Stones purchased from the islanders came from this ruin. Taking advantage of the gap between the destruction of the Church, I want to go and see it in person. "
"Is it the Ghost Shadow Red River in the folklore?" After staying in the Fjords for a while, Ashes had also heard a little about these legends. "This ruin is hidden in the sea, and it is surrounded by dangerous undercurrents and sea beasts. It is impossible for ordinary people to go there. Since it was first discovered, many explorers, in order to see this incredible wonder, unfortunately died in the Shadow Islands. You don't know its specific location, how can you enter the ruin? "
"I really don't know where it is, but I know someone who can take us there. In fact, this outstanding explorer is on Sleeping Island, and he was the first to discover this ruin," Tilly said with a smile. (To be continued.) 8
