Before Roland met the new witches, he had already listened to Theo's detailed report. (Please go to: Literature Building)
He didn't expect that the long-lost Tilly Wimbledon would actually become the leader of another witch organization. Moreover, she was ahead of him and had already gathered more than half of the witches in the Graycastle Kingdom. What was even more intolerable was that now she actually wanted to extend her claws into his own territory.
According to Nightingale, the witch in front of him was an extraordinary, and her ability was likely to be a combat type.
Any extraordinary deserved to be treated with caution, so when he met with Ashes in the office, besides the invisible Nightingale, Roland also stood beside Anna. In front of the desk, there were several extremely thin black flames that formed a wall that was invisible to the naked eye. If she dared to rush over, she would be cut into several pieces by these thin lines.
When strengthening witches didn't wear a God's Stone of Retaliation, they didn't have an advantage in the witch war, but once they wore the stone, they would have unrestricted destructive power. Fortunately, the God's Stone was hated by the vast majority of witches. Ashes probably also considered this point, so when she came to Border Town to win over the witches, she didn't bring any of the church's iconic items.
"Your witches? Don't be arrogant, they are all living people, not your personal belongings! "Ashes coldly said.
Roland suddenly choked, it was the first time since he had crossed over that he felt the embarrassment of a failed verbal cannon. Usually he was used to saying things like "my people", "my people", and so on, but now he was unexpectedly criticized by a democratic speech, making him extremely embarrassed. Although according to the convention of this era, there was no problem with the Lord calling the people or things in his territory that way, but now in front of Nightingale and Anna, emphasizing this point was purely a lack of EQ, and he was led into a pit by the other side.
So he coughed twice, and readily said: "I never thought so. They stayed in Border Town out of their own will, and I believe, this is the best place for them. As for the Fjords you mentioned, the journey across the sea itself is very dangerous. The climate of the Fjords is unpredictable, and it is attacked by storms and tsunamis all year round. It is not a suitable place to live. "
"But at least there, the power of the Church is negligible. Witches can rely on their own power to transform their homes and fight against natural disasters, but there is no way to fight against the Church with the God's Stone of Retaliation, let alone the God's Punishment Army. "Ashes said mercilessly," Do you know what a stupid thing you've done? Spreading the news will only tempt the Church to come to you. With all due respect, you have no way to fight against the God's Punishment Army. Letting the witches leave your territory is the right way to avoid tragedy. "
Roland had heard about the God's Punishment Army from Vendy before, so he knew that persuasion was more effective than any words. Of course, he could ignore Ashes, but in this way, he would completely give up on fighting for Tilly Wimbledon's witches. Even though the chances were slim, he still wanted to try.
"How many God's Punishment Army can you fight at the same time?" he asked.
Ashes looked a little confused, but in the end she still stretched out three fingers, "If it's three, I can still handle it."
"Then let's have a match," Roland sat up straight and said seriously, "Let the result of the match tell you whether or not I can win against the God's Punishment Army."
"What … did you say?" Ashes was stunned for a moment, and her cold face finally showed a different expression.
"A fair match, one on one." He said word by word, "If I can defeat you, it will prove that I have the ability to resist the Church, right?"
Ashes showed a "Are you crazy" expression, "You and me? Or … do you want the witches to fight? "
"Of course not me, and definitely not a witch. The God's Punishment Army certainly has a God's Stone of Retaliation," Roland smiled, "Your opponent is an ordinary Knight."
Although it was a pity that he could not personally participate in the battle, the other party was, after all, an Extraordinary witch with extraordinary combat power. From Wendy's description, it could be seen that she had fought alone in the Cloister and even escaped from the pursuit of a number of God's Punishment Army. Even if she was bare-handed or with a wooden sword, she could still display extraordinary lethality. As for the effect of a revolver in actual combat, it still remained to be seen. For safety's sake, he decided to give this glorious task to Carter. If he had an AK47 in his hand, then no matter what, he would have to do it himself.
"An ordinary Knight …" Ashes' expression returned to its original indifference, "If I win, will you let the witches go with me?"
"Of course not, just like if you lose, I can't let Tilly gather all the witches in Border Town, right?"
"Then what's the point of this duel?"
"It's not a duel, it's a competition," Roland corrected, "The point is to let you know, in the face of the Church, I'm not without the power to resist. And if you lose, when you go back, you will naturally remember, if you can't stay in the Fjords, there is still a place in the Western Region where the witches can live. Of course, if you win, when you persuade Vendy, you will at least be more persuasive, won't you? "
"It's impossible for me to lose," Ashes said, "Now call your Knight."
"Not now," Roland waved his hand, "After a week, I can make the necessary preparations for the competition. During this week, you can live in the castle and experience the life of a small town with the witches. Maybe you will change your previous opinion. "
"…" She looked at the Prince for a while, then nodded, "Maybe we don't have to wait for seven days, they will change their opinion and leave Border Town with me."
Roland shrugged.
Just as she turned around and walked to the door, he suddenly called out to her, "Wait … Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Although he was sure that he had never seen this face, looking at the figure behind him, there was an inexplicable feeling of familiarity. Roland recalled a little, this familiar feeling seemed to come from … the palace in King's City.
"Didn't your guards tell you?" She didn't look back, "If it wasn't for Tilly stopping me, I'm afraid you would only have one hand left in the palace."
After the office door closed, Nightingale appeared, whistling, "Have you also touched her buttocks?"
"What?" Roland was startled, "I don't remember there being such a person in the palace. And what do you mean by "also" touching? "
Nightingale mouthed a word, he could tell that it was "Tyr". Damn it, although I did touch the head maid's buttocks, I was afraid of being seen through, so I did it according to the usual practice! I haven't even argued with you about the peeping matter!
"Ahem," Anna interrupted the conversation between the two, "Do you really have the confidence to let the knight defeat the extraordinary witch? If he fails, it may affect the other witches' confidence in you. "
Fortunately, Anna still looked calm. Roland breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the self-strengthening witches are not affected by the God's Stone of Retaliation, they still fight with their own body functions. Compared with the rapid fire weapons, the limitations of the body are too great. I think the odds of winning are at least 70%. "
