Chapter 166: The Mission and the Witch
The impact of the Devil's Scourge on the Pancontinent is not limited to the battlefield, even though it is the center of the war, but anyone who knows anything about the war knows that the casualties caused by artillery fire and swords are far less than the ravages of disease and hunger, and this can also be applied to the moment of the Evil Plague.

The mighty and prosperous Betley Empire is now mired in war, and even if there is still food in the treasury, in the face of such a large number of civilians and wounded, the mighty empire sometimes withers, and this withering brings not only hunger but also despair.
The long procession of refugees passing through the towering gates, the ornate walls now carved with scars and charred black marks, silently glanced up at the high walls, and then quickened their pace without hesitation.
The magic tide is not far away, if this is the time to give up, then what awaits them is probably not a simple question of hunger, but a question of whether they can see tomorrow.
Next to the huge team of refugees, the pure white carriage was quietly parked on the side of the road, looking out of place, and several homeless people wanted to get close to the carriage in order to get some oil and water from it, but after seeing the knights around the carriage, they reintegrated into the passing refugee procession very interestingly.
These ragged passers-by were clearly more in line with their goals than the ornate-looking carriage, especially the flag fluttering on the wagon.
The pure white flag rises in the wind, and above the flag is a balance marker, and there is only one such mark in the pan-continent, the Holy Light Holy See, the substitute of the Goddess of Creation in the world.
"It's tragic. The white fingers lifted the pure white beaded curtain, and the holy woman of the Holy See looked at the passing refugee procession, and her beautiful brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
"This is a sign of evil and a punishment that this city of sin deserves. ā
"The Punishment Envoy seems to have a deep hostility towards Betley?" the Holy See Saint Maiden glanced at the Punishment Envoy in the car with his eyes closed, and spoke curiously.
"Hmph, it's just a materialistic city, what's worth hating. ā
"That being the case, it would be the best, and I hope that the punishment will not forget the mission that came here. The rectifier's answer was obviously satisfactory to the holy woman, and the hand that lifted the beaded curtain slowly retracted, and the atmosphere of calm in the carriage was restored.
"Let's go, let's go meet the great Juggernaut, and hope she can bring good news to me, my guest. As the steady voice of the saint came out of the carriage, the stalled carriage began to move slowly, and the knights around it were tightly guarded around the carriage, not daring to relax in the slightest.
But even if these knights didn't dare to relax in the slightest, trouble would always involuntarily invite them, especially with such an obvious carriage, the carriage that was slowly moving forward stopped, and the knights who guarded it showed their blades.
"What's going on?"
"Tell the Holy Maiden, it's a member of the Eastern Capital Alliance. ā
"Eastern Capital Alliance?" Hearing this name, not only the Holy See's holy woman was a little surprised, but even the Holy See's Punishment Envoy, who had been closing her eyes, opened her eyes, compared to the Holy See's surprise, this person known as the Holy See's Punishment Envoy opened the bead curtain and walked out after hearing the name of the Eastern Capital Alliance.
The endless team of refugees also fell into a moment of silence because of the appearance of the punishment envoy, and the eyes of all the refugees were only locked on the body of the punishment envoy, not how the punishment envoy was captivated, and the beauty was unparalleled, on the contrary, the appearance of the punishment envoy was very ordinary, so ordinary that even if it was thrown into the pile, it may not be found, what attracted the attention of the refugees was the armor on the punishment envoy's body, compared with the armor of the ordinary knight, the armor of the punishment envoy appeared more hideous, the originally stable shoulder armor was raised high, like two sharp sharp knives, and the joint connection was also covered with fine spikes, the front of the armor is typical of the Holy See, the sacred balance is surrounded by an olive branch, and a sharp treasure passes through the olive branch and falls in the center of the scale.
Peace and justice, the eternal themes of the Holy See of Light, are also the principles of conduct advocated by the Goddess.
The armor-clad Punishment Envoy looked straight ahead, and saw what the knights called the Eastern Capital Alliance, the tall black magic hat, and the wide magic robes, plus the slender dead branch, the name of the witch assembly appeared in the mind of the Punishment Envoy without thinking about it.
"Witch gathering?" the Punishment Envoy said in a low voice, his iron-clad palm clenched tightly.
"Hello, Honorable Priest. Even in the midst of the refugees, the witch's appearance was clearly abnormal, and sensing the gaze of the reprimand, the member of the witch's assembly politely took off his magician, his long messy brown hair spread haphazardly, and a thick spectacle perched on the bridge of his freckled nose.
"How could you people from the Eastern Capital Alliance appear here?" The politeness of the witch in front of him also made the punishment envoy temporarily suppress his thoughts of making trouble.
At the invitation of a friend, I came to help her solve Betley's curse. ā
"Yes, as far as I know, Betley shouldn't have anything to do with the Eastern Capital Alliance, right?"
"No, it's not Betley's man, it's Gillie. ā
"White Sage, are you a friend of White Sage?" The punishment made a trace of surprise appear on the ordinary face, and he became deeply interested in the identity of the witch of the Eastern Capital Alliance in front of him, and the people who could make friends with the White Sage were even rarer than the dragon.
As if seeing the Punishment Messenger's question, the witch in front of her made a simple self-introduction in a very friendly manner, but this introduction caused the refugees around the witch to retreat one after another, and a vacuum circle formed around the witch.
"Below is Vivien of the Witches' Gathering. ā
"Dark Witch!" The famous Dark Witch actually appeared here, which really made the punishment envoy shake his head, Dark Witch Vivien, probably most civilians are very unfamiliar with this, but if the name is changed, then all the refugees present will show a frightened expression, just like now.
Vivien, the Dark Witch, can also be called the Witch of Destruction or the Blood Witch, of course, one of the most famous names is also one of the rings in the witches' gathering, the rumored Calamity, the terrifying witch who killed 130,000 civilians.
"It seems that the Punishment Envoy knows a little bit about me, but I prefer to be called the Calamity Witch. Vivien said with a smile, and horror and despair swept through the line as the name fell.
"Leave here, even if you are invited by the White Sage, this is not the place where a witch like you should come!" The punishment made a solemn opening, and the holy light in his body continued to surge.
"yes, it's a shame that I finally let the lovely Gilliette owe me a favor, I don't want to miss it out like this. ā
"Well, don't blame me for taking coercive measures. "The light shrouded the body of the chasturser like the sun.
"Isn't this the most common technique of your Holy Light Sect?" Vivien said with a mischievous laugh.
Fierce battles, on the verge of breaking out.
