"And the people on the plane are... God's Punishment Witches?"
"Exactly. The anti-magic field works just as well as the God's Stone. A dozen God's Punishment Witches should be able to hold off or even kill the enemy. Even if they can't, the sniper team can rush over and give them the final blow, "the Pearl of the Northern Region said bluntly. "Of course, it won't be easy. How we do it depends on the enemy's actions, but at least we're not completely helpless. I personally think the success rate is not low. After all, the enemy has seen bullets, but has never seen the 'Seagull'. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that an ordinary person could fly into the sky. "
Roland immediately understood the General Staff's plan.
Indeed, it was not safe to rely solely on the sniper team. If the enemy discovered that the patrolling Devilbeasts had a long-range, accurate weapon, they would definitely make some countermeasures when they retreated. For example, they would keep flying in a different direction, or lower their altitude to escape. Even Andrea would not be able to do anything about it.
She could find the coin that was bound to stand, but the coin that was bound to stand did not necessarily exist.
In this case, someone had to step forward to fill in the gap.
In addition to being faster than the Magic Slayer, the pursuer had to be as strong as the Magic Slayer. Theoretically, there was no such person among the witches.
However, the General Staff had thought of using a glider and a group of God's Punishment Witches to achieve the same effect. It was a clever way to save the country.
The 'Seagull' could hide in the sky and turn altitude into speed when needed. After a period of accumulation of kinetic energy, the 'Seagull' could easily exceed 500 kilometers per hour and catch up with the fleeing demon.
However...
"This plan is probably the best we can do at the moment, but I don't think Ashes will agree. After all, it's more dangerous than the front line, and we might even encounter the Magic Slayer." Roland looked at Tilly. "So..."
"I'll convince her," Tilly said after a moment of silence. "I'm going."
"Your Highness!" Vendy said anxiously.
At this moment, Roland could vaguely guess the mood of the person in charge of the Witch Union. If anything happened to him, only Anna and Tilly could maintain their status as witches. One was the legitimate queen, and the other was the legal heir of the bloodline. As long as the two of them were there, they could firmly stabilize the various forces, so Vendy certainly did not want to see any accidents.
"If you think about it, what we're doing is no different from transporting witches. By the time the Magic Slayer realizes the existence of 'Seagull', the sisters of Taquila will have forced him into a corner. Hence, the risks are manageable." Tilly smiled. "Don't worry. I'm not an idiot like Ashes. I won't do anything beyond my capabilities."
Roland knew that the other party had made up his mind, so he didn't want to waste any more time on this. He looked at Edith and said, "Go on."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Edith walked to the side of the map. "The last step of the plan is the location of the ambush. Without the support of the Red Mist, the Senior Demons won't be able to hold on for long. Therefore, this subconscious thought will drive them to retreat along the blood line so that they can replenish their gas tanks as soon as possible. This also means that the best ambush spot will be somewhere near the red line. "
"I have a good suggestion about this," Alethea suddenly said. Alethea suddenly said, "I don't know if you still remember that the Extraordinaire once sneaked into the enemy's rear. "
"Ah... that idiot." Tilly put her hand on her forehead. "I blamed her for wasting a Five-Colored Stone."
"But now, this location behind the Taquila ruins will give us an excellent observation point." Alethea raised her main tentacle. "As long as we use the phantom instrument, we'll have a panoramic view of the surroundings of the blood line!" ""
Roland suddenly remembered that when Lorgar the Wolf Girl discovered the Army of Demons near the ruins, the Witch Union had planned an investigation. However, the plan had failed because the team had gone astray. If the Five-Colored Stone had been crushed right in front of the Taquila ruins, they would have been able to know the demons' movements in advance, and the night battle at Tower No.1 would not have happened.
Roland had thought that he was just unlucky, but now he was lucky. It was really a pity.
He could not help but think of a sentence.
"Fate is too wonderful for words."
"In this case, Iron Axe and Edith will stay in the Third Border City for the next few days and figure out the ambush plan as soon as possible," Roland ordered, "As for the magic bullets, Agatha and the Ministry of Engineering will work together to solve the problem."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The others said in unison.
When the meeting was over, Alethea's voice suddenly came to Roland's ears. Judging from the others' reactions, it was a secret message that only he could hear.
"Celine hopes that you can come to the underground. There's a new breakthrough in the research of the Magic Ceremony Cube. "
…
Half an hour later, Roland walked into the underground laboratory.
Celine pressed a button on the Magic Cube, and a familiar red line suddenly appeared in front of him.
"So, what do you mean by a new breakthrough?"
"Look at these." Celine stretched out her auxiliary tentacles and handed him two thumb-sized stones. "They're all parts of the Magic Cube. They should have a long history." "
"They do look a little old," Roland said while touching his chin. There were obvious signs of wear and tear on the side near the surface. "You can dismantle the Magic Cube without damaging it? Wait, since the parts of the Magic Cube are in your hands, why is it still glowing? Is it — "
"That's right, Your Majesty." Celine smiled and said, "The parts in the Magic Cube are the new parts that I've replicated. The fact that it can function normally means that those parts are working. I wonder if you're satisfied with this breakthrough? " "
"That's amazing …" Roland held her tentacles in surprise as if he was admiring a precise knife. "It's only been three months. I thought it would take me a year or even longer!"
"The Sleeping Spell's Thin Wrist has helped me a lot, and the structure of the Magic Cube is much simpler than the magic core." Celine let him look at her for a while and then withdrew her auxiliary tentacles, feeling a little embarrassed. "I think I need several thousand pieces for the experiment. I think I can make a replica with 500 pieces of similar materials." "
"The garrison at the Festive Harbor should be acting according to my order. I think we'll hear from them soon," Roland said excitedly. If he could successfully replicate the Magic Cube, it might bring another round of earth-shaking changes to Neverwinter like the steam engine.
"If that's the case, can I ask for a reward?" Celine suddenly changed the topic and said with a hint of expectation, "Of course, all this is for the advancement of the research in the future! "
"What do you want?" Roland asked curiously.
