"How long are you going to hide before you make your move?"
In the dim underground corridor, Ulthar stopped Alice and complained in a dissatisfied tone.
"That giant airship has been repaired for a long time. Instead of taking the opportunity to move around, we're hiding on this deserted island all day long. Just how long are we going to hide?"
Shi Feng could tell that staying on the isolated island for more than 20 days had made this Tier 3 Dark Witch restless and distraught.
All the witches had crossed the border to come here, shouldering the mission of their families and the expectations of their people. It had been almost two months since the Planar Gate opened. This also meant that a third of their trip to the Faern Plane had already passed, and their mission completion rate was still very low.
To Ulthar, the mission of capturing a small group of elves was more than half complete. He could easily complete the mission by raiding a few other elven villages.
However, the other mission, which was to steal the Pegasus Magic Spring, did not have any clues or methods from start to finish.
Before coming to the Calan Continent, Ulthar wanted to take the Pegasus Magic Spring from the elves with the help of the Pale Witch. But when she arrived at the Calan Continent, she was helpless to find that because the forest elves had completely ruled the Calan Continent, they had organized an anti-evil alliance composed of pure grade 4 combatants and oracles, completely blocking the Pale Witches on the island.
Even after the Witch Calamity had broken out for so long, the Tier 4 Ashen Witch, Raymura, had yet to set foot on Sapphire Continent. This … this was completely out of Ulthar's expectations!
In order to prevent Mura from sending her Companion Spirit to sneak into the Calan Continent, Mura had to go around Greenwater City. Those Elven Oracles and Grade 4 experts who had nothing better to do would attack the Echo Islands from time to time.
If Rimura's Companion Spirit was not by her side, it would be difficult for her to withstand the combined attacks of so many Grade 4 powerhouses. Hence, using this stupid method, the elves managed to restrain Mura and her Companion Spirit in the Echo Islands.
As long as the Pale Witches didn't want to lose the best foothold in the outer seas of the Calan Continent, then Murat could only helplessly sit on the main island of the Echo Islands and wait bitterly for those bastards to come knocking on the door.
To be honest, if the elves really wanted to destroy the Wizard's Pagoda on the Echo Islands, all they had to do was send the five level 4 Elves guarding the Green Water City. If that was the case, no matter how well-coordinated Remura was with her Companion Spirits, and she had the support of the Wizard's Pagoda, it would be difficult for her to deal with the disparity in power.
However, due to their own calculations, the elves did not do so.
Once the Echo Isles were conquered and the Pale Witches were scattered, this Tier 4 witch would no longer have any scruples or worries. When the elves did not have absolute confidence in killing them, it did not seem to be a good thing to infuriate the Pale Witches.
Grade 4 power was already at the peak in most planes.
Even if the Gods descended, the highest combat power they could display was only at the Peak of Tier 4. It was just that, apart from having more high-level knowledge and skills than ordinary Tier 4 experts, they could not form an overwhelming advantage in terms of combat power.
Therefore, if they destroyed the lair of the Pale Witches and allowed them to invade the Calan Continent to wantonly kill and retaliate, then the losses faced by the Elven Kingdom might be even greater than now.
It was precisely because of this that the Elven Kingdom adopted the strategy of besieging the high-level witches and continuing to beat them up.
Under the impetus of this battle strategy, the Echo Islands occupied by the Pale Witches had become a training ground. Every few days, a terrible battle between Tier 4 experts would erupt. But without exception, each time, there would be casualties on both sides, but the outcome was not serious.
The more they watched, the longer they waited, the more Ulthar lost interest in the routine battles. She was more anxious about the passing of time!
In the face of Ulthar's questioning, Alice responded with a sweet smile.
"Witch Ulthar, you should also know that our last action has attracted the attention of the Elf Goddesses. Before they shift their gazes away, any rash actions on our part could bring about a terrifying disaster to the entire team. "
Ulthar was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
"We don't have to hide from each other. Was the arrival of the Moonlight Goddess' emissary caused by you? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that those divine spell users came just after we finished the battle! "
Alice smiled sweetly.
"We are already allies, how could we harm our allies like this? Besides, we also fought until the end for the last accident, and the price we paid was even greater than you Dark Witches. Would I push my Fate Witches to their deaths? "
Faced with Alice's rhetorical question, Ulthar was speechless.
In the last battle, although the Dark Witches suffered heavy losses, with many of them dying in succession. But except for two who were directly killed by the Elf Oracle, and even their souls did not escape, the rest had been resurrected on the Dark Island one after another.
In contrast, the Fate Witches were much more miserable, with nearly half of their members lost!
The wizard even spent a lot of money to summon a grade 3 giant dragon, and the giant floating ship went all out.
Because of these factors, although Ulthar had always been suspicious, she could not determine the motives of the two parties. Now that she had something to ask of them, she could only vaguely answer this question, and could not delve deeper into it.
"Alice, you're the leader of the Destiny Witches. I'd like to borrow your divination power to inquire about something …" Ulthar, a Grade 3 Witch, lowered her head to a Grade 1 Little Witch for help. She could not help but stutter.
Alice's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face became wider.
All along, she had been curious about the purpose of the Dark Witches leaving the main team and coming to the Calan Continent. If she could grasp this point, it would be more advantageous for her to grasp the development of the whole situation. Unfortunately, these Dark Witches were very tight-lipped, and she could not find any information.
Now, the leader of the Dark Witches was going to tell her personally.
This … No matter what, it was good news!
But the more it was like this, the more Alice could not appear too enthusiastic.
"You want me to do divination? This is a different plane, and I don't have the help of the astrological platform. The price I have to pay is too high! "Alice looked hesitant.
"Don't worry about this. I know the rules of the Fate Witches, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward … "
"That's great! Then … why don't we go to my room … "
The two witches talked as they walked, and their voices gradually disappeared in the dark and damp corridor.
…
The chase and killing in the forest continued.
Both sides had done their best, but the battle was still intense and tragic.
In the magical forest, teams of elves were flying, jumping from top to bottom of the ancient trees that were tens of meters tall, as agile as giant forest apes. Beneath their feet, there were bare-chested Sword Dancers with elven battle tattoos all over their bodies. They held long and narrow blades in their hands, and their figures flashed like lightning. In the thorny forest that was difficult for ordinary people to move, they moved as if they were flying.
They are chasing, they are fighting.
And the targets they were chasing and killing were the blood-red bats that were flapping their wings left and right in the dense forest.
Yes, these bats were all blood-red in color, regardless of their body or fur.
Every time one looked at it, it gave one a strange, eerie, and terrifying feeling!
These mutated bats were obviously not common creatures in the Illusory Forest. Each of them seemed to have extremely high intelligence. Sometimes they would scatter and escape, and sometimes they would gather together to counterattack. Every time they pulled and counterattacked, they were so experienced and precise that people could not help but gasp in admiration.
The pursuing elves knew very well that they were not creatures of the forest, nor were they mutated magical beasts, but … they were a strange creation of witches that had never appeared in the Faern Plane.
Yes, they were not naturally born magical beasts, but magical creations that those evil witches had concocted using terrible witchcraft.
Their name was … Vampires!
Every blood-red bat was a vampire.
They had two completely different forms. One was the current form of a bat, which could fly, escape, and hide everywhere. The other was the form of a human.
Their human form made it difficult for most elves to detect their abnormality, until they revealed their bloody fangs and scarlet eyes.
Like ordinary humans, they did not have hard skin, and rarely wore metal armor. This caused their physical defense to be extremely low, so low that they could not defend against any physical or magical damage. But what was strange and frightening was that they possessed the frightening Lifesteal Regeneration and Lifesteal Regeneration abilities.
No matter how heavy the injury was, as long as they could suck a few mouthfuls of blood, all the injuries would be completely healed in a few seconds. Even those vampires that had died and turned into ashes, when there were vampires nearby that were sucking blood, they would be reborn after a brilliant blood-red halo flashed.
Just by relying on these two special abilities, the vampires, who were not strong enough and did not have long-range magic, were actually able to fight evenly with the pursuing elven army. This fully illustrated the fearsomeness of the Vampires!
What was even more frightening was that in the middle of this group of vampires, there was a group of fellows that were as high as grade 2.
They were like the masters and controllers of this group of vampires, hiding behind the scenes, commanding the vampires to fight and retreat, playing guerrilla warfare in the vast and enormous Illusory Forest.
As the elven army dispatched by Celestial Water City, this group of elves in front of them were not good people.
Regardless of whether it was the sword dancers that acted as melee fighters, or the elven archers that acted as long-range attackers, there were already over a thousand of them. And in their team, there were druids, elven mages, hippogriff archers, elven beast tamers, and other special professions.
