Chapter Eighty-Three: The War Begins
Silver collar, west wall. Yard stood at the head of the city, clad in armor, quietly looking into the distance. At this time, he seemed to be strategizing and unfazed.
But, actually, he's so nervous that he's throwing up now. Not so much because of the coming war...... For a man like him, who grew up in the ranks and received an orthodox knightly education, there was no essential difference between war and physical exercise, both were just a part of life.
The reason why he was nervous was because he had been completely unable to contact Levi since an hour ago. Soldiers were sent to look for it at home, and they went to the city lord's mansion to look for it, but there was no trace of Levi.
Yard hopes that his lord is scared to find a place to hide because of the war. However, based on what he knew about Levi, he had come up with some strange idea and secretly went out of the city to make trouble.
Yard couldn't help but wipe his sweat. Bless the old director, don't let anything happen to the adults! At this moment, a witch wearing an executive uniform walked over.
"Mr. Weiss, where is Lord Black?"
“…… Your Excellency sits in the rear, don't worry, I'm in charge here. Yard glanced at the territory mark on the witch's chest.
A witch sent by the Dragon's Tooth Collar. For these cities in the western part of the empire, the Dragon's Tooth Collar is like a small royal capital, and all the orders issued by the king's capital will be forwarded through the Dragon's Tooth Collar.
As the most powerful territory in the western part of the empire, the witches sent by the Dragon's Tooth Collar to support are naturally extraordinary.
The one in front of you, the title
The "Witch of the Forest" can summon many purple vines such as arm commands, bind, or stab enemies in battle, and is especially powerful when facing a large number of enemies.
It is said that someone once proposed that the title of this witch be changed
"The Witch of Tentacles", but was rejected by the General Administration of the Royal Capital. Hearing Yard's words, the Witch of the Forest was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
War is imminent, but the commander is not on the scene, handing over command to a four-star knight? Just a knight, where do you understand the battle between witches?
"I want to see Lord Black."
"I'm sorry, but you have to concentrate on studying the battle situation, and I won't be meeting anyone now." The Witch of the Forest was silent for a long time, and said, "When this battle is over, I will report this matter to the Dragontooth Leader." With that, without waiting for Yard to answer, she turned to leave.
Yard shook his head helplessly. What is this called...... At this moment, a sudden shout came from the watchtower: "The enemy army is in sight!!" Yard's gaze flickered, and the momentum on his body changed.
"Longbowmen, Witch troops, get into combat readiness!" In the distance, soldiers in black armor gradually appeared on the horizon.
"That's a lot." A soldier guarding the wall couldn't help but say.
"Don't be afraid, let's be condescending, and when they get closer, we'll wait for them with arrows." The other soldier plucked the bowstring and grinned.
Silver-collared soldiers basically have little time to spare throughout the year. Even if there are no soldiers from other countries, polluted monsters will pop up from time to time to cause trouble.
In the face of war, they are fully mentally prepared, and there will be no stage fright at all.
All the longbow troops, at this time, are in the same mind. Everyone took out arrows from the quiver and waited for the other side to get closer.
However, in the eyes of everyone, those black armor soldiers stopped one after another when they were still seven or eight hundred meters away from the city wall.
The archers looked at each other suspiciously. What is it to stop so far away? Do you make a meal?
Yard's heart sank. In this world, once your enemy starts playing cards out of common sense, the biggest possibility is that he is going to send out the witch.
Sure enough, soon, he saw an anomaly in the enemy camp. Many of the armor soldiers moved out of the way to give way to a girl dressed in animal skins and painted with oil paint on her face.
With his four-star knight vision, Yard could see the excited smile on the girl's face. Then, many armor soldiers pulled ropes on their shoulders and dragged large wooden carts over.
Every car was full of big black iron balls. The girl walked up to the iron balls and looked at them.
Then, suddenly, with both arms stretched out, he easily picked up one. The corner of Yard's eye twitched. Judging from the depth of the dirt pressed down by the wheels, these iron balls are all real guys, even if he, a four-star knight, wants to pick up such an iron ball, it is impossible to be as easy as a beastskin girl.
How much strength does this guy have? In the next second, under his shocked gaze, the beast-skin girl gently weighed the iron ball twice, then swung her arms back and threw the iron ball over!
"The Witch of the Forest!!" Yard shouted almost at the top of his voice. Almost at the same time as his voice, the Witch of the Forest raised her hand to the outside of the walls.
With her movements, more than a dozen purple vines that emitted a faint light suddenly grew out of thin air, forming a large net on the city wall.
Bang!!!!!! The moment the net was formed, the iron ball smashed into it. The whole vine net was carried backwards by the huge force, like a goal net that had fallen into disrepair and was about to rot at any time, desperately trying to block a football shot by a large air wing.
Fortunately, after a few seconds of spinning and rubbing in the vine net, the iron ball gradually lost its strength, and was thrown by the vines, and flew out of the city wall and landed in the open space outside the city.
It was only then that the others came to their senses.
"City, city walls!" A soldier exclaimed. Following his line of sight, everyone looked over. I saw that several thick stones on the city wall were already full of cracks because they had just been rooted by purple vines.
The corner of Yard's eye twitched. How much strength does that beast-skin girl have?! The witch of the forest's face was also a little ugly, and she urgently summoned the vines just now, making her magic passage a little painful.
In the distance, in the camp of the black-armored troops, the beast-skin girl set up a pergola with her hands, squinted her eyes, and looked at the head of the silver-collared city from afar.
"Roar...... It's kind of interesting.,The witch on the other side is good.,Can you actually stop my serious shot? ”
"Could that be Lilith, the Witch of the Night?" Hearing this, a soldier next to him spoke: "That's not the Night Witch, the Night Witch is dead...... If nothing else, it should be a witch sent by other cities to support. ”
"Hmph......" The girl in the animal skin raised the corners of her mouth.
"Whoever it is, just kill them together." As she spoke, she picked up a second black iron ball.
On the city wall, the witch of the forest watched this scene from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "It's a witch with a strengthened body, you must get rid of her, otherwise the city wall will be gone!" Hearing this, the two witches beside her stood up together.
The three of them looked at Yard together. Yard frowned, thinking about the three of them's abilities. After a few seconds, he nodded.
"The witch of the forest will guide you to the city, cooperate with the other two witches, and try to behead the other witch."
"If the situation is unfavorable, the preservation of combat effectiveness is the first priority!" Looking at the figures of the three witches in action, Yard felt his liver ache.
If Levi is here, and the silver-collar witches are also here, how can it be so difficult to deal with a mere body enhancement witch?
