"The Church's most elite warriors, they are also the top secret weapons used to fight against the extraordinary witches," Ashes said, "They are not inferior to me in strength and speed, and …" She hesitated, "They don't seem to have any consciousness to speak of. During the fight, I cut off the right hand of a God's Punishment Soldier, but he did not hesitate to use his left hand to gouge my eye. Even if I turned around and ran away, his movement was not affected. This has nothing to do with willpower. Even if a strong person can still maintain their fighting spirit after losing an arm, they will not be able to adapt in a short time. "
"I've only heard of the Church's Army of Judges," Vendy murmured, "Since they have such powerful warriors, why didn't they appear during the previous round of witches?"
"I don't know," Ashes slowly said, "Even the name of the God's Punishment Army, I only heard it from some people after I returned to the old Holy City."
"You … went back?" Vendy asked in surprise.
"Yes, how could I let those dregs go so easily." She stood up and walked to the window, "I later attacked several small churches and a Judgement Army station. There happened to be a Presiding Judge in the station, so I thought they were really not afraid of death. " In the face of death and suffering, the other side's performance was not much better than the civilians, they would also show a look of fear, and they would also open their mouth to beg for mercy. "From him, I learned the name of the God's Punishment Army. They were all transformed through a ceremony into the Army of Judges, and only the best warriors can receive this honor. Accepting the transformation must be voluntary, it seems that the success rate has a great relationship with the strength of the will. In other words, the God's Punishment Army is different from the witches, they are not formed naturally or because of their talent, but they are artificially transformed. "
"…" Vendy was shocked by this news and was speechless.
"I guess they can't use the God's Punishment Army in the battle like the Army of Judges, perhaps because of the side effects of the transformation. In a sense, the warriors who have lost their minds are no different from monsters. " Ashes sighed, "During that time, I hid in the sewers or deep wells during the day, and came out at night to attack the church's believers, until the church launched a city-wide search, I was forced to evacuate from the old Holy City. On the day I left, the blood on my body stuck tightly to my clothes and skin. I looked hideous. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, I was also a beast that had lost its mind. "
She felt a hand on her shoulder. "It doesn't matter now, you can live a good life here like an ordinary person. His Royal Highness is very good to the sisters. After experiencing the Months of Demons and the attack of the Duke of Longsong Stronghold, most of the townspeople accepted the existence of witches. This town is the Sacred Mountain we were looking for. "
Ashes looked at the woman who was leaning against the windowsill with her. In her impression, the children living in the convent were all thin and weak, and their eyes were gray and dull. Looking at Vendy now, it was hard to imagine what she looked like when she was a child. Whether it was her figure or appearance, they were completely different from the children of that period. Moreover, the natural gentleness in her tone also made her feel peaceful and tranquil.
However, there were some things that she had to say. "I won't stay here, and I didn't come here for this." She paused. "I want to take all of you away, to a place where it's really safe. Border Town is not a place to stay for a long time. "
"You won't stay here..." Vendy was stunned for a moment. "Why?"
"As long as you live on this continent, you will always be threatened by the Church. Tilly has already gathered most of the witches in the Kingdom of Graycastle to go to the Fjords, intending to build a country of witches there."
"But isn't there a Church in the Fjords?"
"Because of the special topography of the archipelago, the islands are separated from each other, so their influence can only be maintained in a small area. And... "Ashes raised the corner of her mouth." There is no God's Punishment Army on the island. "
It was time to let them experience the wrath of the witches, Thunder. Island by island, the Church's power would be uprooted, just like how they eliminated the witches.
"You and your sisters must leave, Vendy." She continued to persuade, "Spreading rumors to attract companions is a mistake. I can hear these news, and the Church can also hear it. They will never allow a witch organization to wantonly expand. I think it won't be long before the Church's army crosses Graycastle to destroy you. In the face of the invincible God's Punishment Army, do you think that the 4th Prince will still protect you? No secular lord will be willing to live or die with a witch. Now he may be good to you, but in a time of danger, he will not hesitate to abandon you. "
Vendy was silent for a moment, then said: "I don't know what the other sisters will think, but I will not leave Border Town."
"We are already at the edge of the cliff," Ashes frowned. "Staying here for another day will increase the danger."
"If in order to avoid the coming danger, we abandon His Royal Highness and leave Border Town. What is the difference between this and him abandoning us? I don't want to become such a person, and... "She took a deep breath." I don't think that His Royal Highness will be like you said, he will succumb to the pressure of the Church. Nightingale once asked him the same question, and His Royal Highness' answer was: to let every witch in his territory be able to live like a normal person, even if he has to become the enemy of the Church. "
"..." Ashes didn't answer. For a moment she didn't know what to say. She had seen too many broken promises, and even if the other side was willing to protect the witches, what would be the point? In the face of overwhelming power, it would only increase the sacrifice.
However, she had already figured out the situation of the Witch Cooperation Association. After the death of Cara the Snake Witch, the remaining members of the Witch Cooperation Association had basically been accepted by the Lord of Border Town. Theo, who had gone to Silver City to spread the news, was afraid that he wasn't a civilian who happened to rescue the witches, but rather a personal guard of the Lord. Although she didn't know what kind of cunning means he had used to make the witches trust him so much, but under the threat of her sword, it was likely that his carefully constructed camouflage would soon fall apart.
"I want to talk to your Lord, Roland Wimbledon," Ashes finally said in a deep voice.
...
She saw His Royal Highness the 4th Prince the next morning.
Ashes was brought into the office by Nightingale, where she once again saw the disgusting man.
Although she didn't want to admit it, he did have the same blood as Tilly. His long gray hair was simply tied behind his head with a headband, emitting a little silver light in the morning light, which was the symbol of the royal family of Graycastle. His eyebrows and nose were also somewhat similar to Tilly's, but the more similar they were, the more she didn't like them. His appearance was different from the one she had often seen in the palace. His clothes were unusually clean, and in addition to his well-fitting clothes, she couldn't see a single ornament, no earrings, necklaces, rings, or bracelets. He was simply sitting in a chair, but she had a feeling that he was looking down on her.
The temperament of a superior.
Her mind couldn't help but think of this.
Well, just from his appearance, he has indeed improved. Ashes coldly said in her heart, I don't know how long you can maintain this posture.
"Welcome, I heard that your name is Ashes?" The other side took the initiative to speak, "You are the messenger sent by my sister, right?"
"I decided to come to Border Town on my own."
"But you are still a messenger, right?"
"..." Ashes frowned, what was the point of emphasizing the word messenger? She didn't want to be entangled in unimportant things, "Yes."
