A small welcoming banquet was held in the huge reception hall of the floating ship.
As the host, the number and quality of the Witches on the Destiny Witches' side was not much inferior to the other side. Among the eleven Dark Witches, there was one Grade 3, one Grade 2, and nine Grade 1 Witches. On the Destiny Witches' side, there were also Grade 2 Witches present at the banquet, including Grimm and Zachary. As for the Grade 1 Witches, there were also quite a number of them.
Overall, apart from the fact that the Destiny Witches were slightly inferior in terms of high-grade Witches, they were even stronger than the Dark Witches in terms of overall strength.
Of course, the main reason for such an interesting situation was that the Dark Witches who came to Faern were only a part of their faction, while the Destiny Witches had already done their best!
Almost all the Northern Witches knew about the relationship between the young Grade 2 Fire Witches and Alice.
It was only because both sides kept a low profile, one in the central part of the continent, and the other in the extreme north, that there were no strange rumors spreading. But during this trip to Fain, these two powers, one central and one northern, had clearly begun to join forces.
This had already caused the dissatisfaction of some of the Northern Witches' leaders!
Of course, these were things that the higher-ups had to consider, but it did not prevent the Dark Witches and the Destiny Witches from cooperating perfectly in this world.
However, the Northern Witches had always been arrogant and domineering, so even though Grimm was a Grade 2 Fire Witch, they still did not pay much attention to him. The Grade 2 Dark Witch would rather talk to Cheff than speak to Grimm.
Grimm could not help but shake his head and sigh at this arrogance.
At the same time, the 'guilt' of deceiving and using Grimm disappeared!
After the floating ship received the group of Dark Witches from the Echo Islands, it did not stop at all and turned back.
While the witches were drinking and chatting in the reception hall, the three leaders of their respective factions met in another secret room to discuss.
Ulthar, Alice, and Grimm.
However, Ulthar was obviously dissatisfied with Grim's appearance. The first thing he said was a pun, "You're really strong!" After that, he teased Alice, "You're really good at picking people …"
For a moment, Alice and Grim's expressions turned a little ugly.
Ulthar was a middle-aged witch dressed in a black robe. Her face was cold and gloomy. She had a hooked nose and thick, purplish-black lips. She looked crazy and a little neurotic. However, the dark aura around him was unforgettable.
With Ulthar's strength as a Tier 3 Witch, she naturally had nothing to fear in front of the two of them. Hence, the two of them could only force a smile as they listened to Ulthar's crazy words. They did not have the strength to fall out with her.
Ulthar didn't seem to care at all, but it was obvious that he had placed Grimm as Alice's' gigolo '. They were trying to force Grim out of the room before the negotiation even started!
Fortunately, Grim and Alice had a tacit understanding, so Grim simply kept his mouth shut and sat quietly to the side, allowing Alice and Ulthar to confront each other.
Although Alice was only a Tier 1 Witch, she had the strange magic aura of the leader of the witches. Hence, even if Ulthar's rank was much higher than Alice's, she did not dare to bully her too much.
At the very least, when the two of them sat down, Ulthar had to wait for Alice to sit down before slowly sitting down.
The negotiation between the two was frank and efficient!
As Northern Witches, both sides were very clear about how to fight against foreign enemies.
Being united against a common enemy was the best way to cooperate.
Both sides had traversed the distant plane of space, from the Magus World to this Faern Plane. Wasn't it for the sake of plundering and plundering enough plane resources to support the further development of their families? Hence, the only thing between them was the elves of the Calan Continent. Only by moving this mountain would they be able to usurp the most generous reward.
However, based on the current information, it was impossible for the group of witches in front of them to defeat the strong elves. In the past, the Pale Witch had almost used all her strength but still failed to do so. It was even more impossible for them to do so with their current strength.
Moreover, even if they could do it, the Pale Witch would be the one to benefit the most from defeating the elves in vain. At most, the allied army would get some leftovers. Therefore, both sides had no interest in fighting the elves head-on.
Once this general principle was set, the rest was easy.
With the floating ship, it was much easier for them to enter and exit the Calan Continent. Every time, as long as they had a clear target and accurate information, they could rely on the basic principle of finishing the battle quickly and running after shooting. It would not be so easy for those stubborn elves to surround and capture them.
The previous two raids by the Dark Witches had caused a lot of damage to the elves. However, without a huge combat platform and logistics base like the floating ship, it was difficult to maximize the harvest of each battle.
They could not bring back all the elven prisoners of war, so they could only choose some of the highest quality ones to take away. If they could not take enough resources, they could only burn the rest. Now that they had the floating ship, these problems would no longer be a problem. The only difficult problem was how to choose a target to attack!
If they could successfully besiege an elven town and capture all the elves inside, then Ulthar's first mission would be completed immediately. So when Alice proposed to attack the unguarded elven villages on the west coast, Ulthar immediately objected.
"We now have the floating ship. Our biggest advantage is the stealth and suddenness of the surprise attack. If the elven kingdom is unprepared, they will inevitably lose sight of one thing, so the first attack is often the one with the highest chance of success. Rather than wasting our first attack on a small elven village with no resources and no elites, we might as well go big and devour the entire elven town … "The more Ulthar spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, his voice almost became a piercing scream.
"But the defense of the elven town is also far stronger than that of an ordinary elven village … As far as I know, most elven towns are protected by Treant Warriors and powerful Unicorns. These are natural creatures that can rival Elite Tier 1 wizards … Also, there will definitely be a lot of Tier 2 elves in such a town. What if …" Alice raised a lot of objections in one breath, but her tone was not very firm.
Ulthar sneered and said, "I've already seen it. There are quite a lot of metal puppets on this floating ship. With them, ordinary elves will no longer be a threat. Even the Treants and Unicorns will have a hard time killing them quickly. With the metal puppets as meat shields, these witches will be enough to wipe out the elves' defenses. "
Seeing that Alice was still hesitating, Ulthar could not help but roar, "If there really is someone stronger than Tier 2, you don't have to worry about her. Just leave her to me. However, I want two-thirds of the captives first … "
What a greedy lion, asking for two-thirds of the elven captives just like that. Did he really think that his identity as a Tier 3 Witch was a golden sign?
Grim cursed inwardly, but his face remained calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.
This Ulthar was eager to complete his mission, and he and Alice were also eager to take advantage of the situation and tie this Tier 3 Dark Witch to their warship as soon as possible. Unfortunately, in front of these cunning witches, any impatience or eagerness would arouse their suspicions. Hence, Grimm did not say or do anything, leaving everything to Alice.
As for Ulthar's idea, Alice had already agreed to it a long time ago. However, in order to avoid the other party's suspicions, she could only suppress her joy and slowly deal with the other party.
In the end, after a round of bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement on the target of the attack.
Jintha'Alor!
This was an Elven town located at the junction of the west and south coasts, 1,700 kilometers deep into the Sangharan continent. It had a permanent population of 700 people and an Elven garrison of 200 people. These 200 people were made up of pure Elite Warriors and high-grade natural creatures, unlike the Elven villages where the number of Flower Fairies was used to attack.
Apart from 120 Sword Dancers, there were also 20 Druids and 50 Elven Archers in their team.
In addition, there were also 7 Treant Warriors and 3 Unicorns.
According to the information gathered by the Dark Witches and Destiny Witches, there were about 7 Tier 2 powerhouses. The captain of the Elven guards was a Tier 2 Weapon Master, and the vice-captain was a Tier 2 Elven Sharpshooter. There were also two Tier 2 Shapeshifters among the Druids.
Among the 7 Treant Warriors, there was also a Tier 2 Withered Guard, which was a famous meat shield of the Elven race. The 3 Unicorns were a male and female with a cub, and they were both Tier 2 creatures.
With the combined forces of the Dark Witches and Destiny Witches, if they wanted to take down this tough bone, they would have to plan carefully!
Hence, in the next five days, the airship stealthily and silently floated high above the clouds, slowly approaching the prey that had been plotting for a long time beyond the senses of all elves.
During these ten days, the witches did not stay idle.
Some were making poison, while others were preparing the Cursed Scepter. All of them were abnormally busy.
