"Devil!" Alicia unsheathed her two-handed sword and stood in front of Mira.
"… Devil?" Her tone was cold and almost emotionless, "Then what about you who send orphans and abandoned babies to the monastery to be raised and choose witches from them?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The female warrior scolded, "The Church takes them in out of God's mercy, if there is no monastery, how many of them can live to adulthood? However, the pervasive devil always corrupts the weak-willed among them, leading a very small number of people astray. Once someone is found to have degenerated into a witch, the Church will immediately deal with them. You have completely reversed the cause and effect! "
Hearing the word deal with, the witch's golden eyes instantly dimmed a lot, she raised her giant sword with one hand, "I don't have much interest in persuading a dead person, so be it."
Before her voice fell, the owl spread its wings and flew up, her figure had already rushed in front of her. Alicia deeply remembered the tragic scene of her teammate who had been split in half with his sword. Instead of retreating, she pounced towards the lower right side of the Extraordinary. In the swordsmanship training class, the instructor had more than once mentioned that the lower right side was the most difficult position to take care of, because of the limitation of the sword holding posture, if you want to change the direction of the blade, you need to spend an extra half a breath of time.
Like a leopard, Alicia pounced to avoid the witch's direct slash. When she passed the witch's side, she held her two-handed sword horizontally, trying to counterattack. But the Extraordinary's reaction was amazingly fast, with a light jump, she easily avoided this horizontal sweep, at the same time turning around to lift the giant sword.
Until this time, Alicia had not even completely landed.
Everything happened in a flash. Half of her calf flew into the sky along with blood. A tearing pain came from the lower part of her body, almost making her lose consciousness. Relying on her instinct to tightly clench her teeth, the female warrior did not cry out on the spot.
The gap was too big.
She now understood how powerful Abrams was, who was able to fight with the Extraordinary for more than ten swords, giving her the opportunity to escape.
Alicia struggled to turn over, just in time to see Mira take out a crossbow from her backpack, raise her hand and aim at the Extraordinary witch who was paying attention to her.
This was her last chance. She realized that she might be able to attract his attention!
Just as the female warrior was about to say something, the greatsword swept past her like a whirlwind. She felt her throat tighten, and then the world turned upside down … No, perhaps she was flying. She saw her body weakly kneeling down. At the same time, she saw an owl swooping towards Mira, but in midair, it transformed into a girl and viciously smashed into the priest's body … Her vision quickly blurred, and she finally fell to the ground, falling into endless darkness.
…
"This damned rock, coo!" Maggie touched the bump on her head and complained, "You were too careless. If it wasn't for me, you would have been shot by that arrow!"
"Don't worry, I've noticed it. I just want to finish this quickly," Ashes quickly dug a shallow pit with her sword, dragged the two of them into the pit, and covered them with soil. Both the God's Stone of Retaliation and the Golden Dragon were now in her bag, so she had enough money to travel to the Port of Clearwater. She also found a letter on the body of the woman wearing the priest's robe. Glancing over it, she found that if the Lord of the Western Territory, Roland Wimbledon, did not collude with witches, she would ask him to buy baby girls and orphans. Before this, the other party in this transaction was the Duke Of Ryan. As long as they were underage women, they could pay the market price, or they could use pills to offset the price.
After reading the letter, Ashes sneered, put the letter on the torch and lit it, directly burning it.
"Let's go, we still have a pile of bodies to bury."
"Coo." Maggie turned back into an owl, taking Ashes with her to the first place of attack.
Digging, transporting, burying people … Maggie couldn't help much with these physical tasks. Moreover, the smell of blood and broken limbs made her a little dizzy, so she could only land on a branch and watch Ashes busy herself.
"Why are you doing this, if the Church finds out, wouldn't it be terrible?"
"When they find out that the emissary group has disappeared, it will be two or three months later," Ashes said while shoveling the soil, "Generally, when the Church sends out an emissary group to investigate the witches, if the Lord cooperates, it will last for more than a month, plus the time it takes for them to return, it will be almost two or three months."
"But His Royal Highness will certainly not cooperate with them! Coo! "
"You'd better turn back into your human form and talk to me again," Ashes sighed, "If the Lord allows the emissary group to enter Border Town, the witches of the Witch Cooperation Association will inevitably be exposed. The emissary group doesn't need to ask the Prince himself, they only need to catch the people and interrogate them. Roland can either sell out the witches and lie that all of this has nothing to do with him, or he can only catch them all. If the other side is prepared in advance, as long as one of them escapes, Hermes will soon receive the news. You can also see that they are also carrying carrier pigeons. "
"Pigeons can't see at night, so I have already caught them," Maggie patted her bulging waist bag, "When they are cooked tomorrow, we will each have one."
Ashes secretly shook her head, she had never seen her catch a bird to eat before. She had only been in Border Town for a few days, but she unexpectedly had a strong interest in roasted bird meat. "If the Church decides to send out the army, he will only have about a month left. But now, as long as his luck isn't too bad, he can at least have three more months … So, this is my gift to him, it is also my revenge against the Church. "
"So that's how it is, as expected of Sister Ashes," Maggie praised.
There was one more point that Ashes didn't say, in this way, it was equivalent to her making the decision for the Prince. When the Church found out that they had lost contact with the emissary group, they would certainly blame it on Roland Wimbledon. At that time, even if he wanted to sell out the witches, he wouldn't have the opportunity.
When everything was ready, the sky was gradually turning bright.
"So, we will part ways here," Ashes said.
"…" Maggie was stunned, "What?"
She touched the other's small head and squatted down, "You like Border Town very much, don't you? With Lightning and Vendy, you will certainly be very happy here. "
"But …" The other lowered her head, looking hesitant, "I also like you and Lady Tilly."
"I don't want you to stay here all the time," Ashes smiled, "Roland Wimbledon and Tilly are different, after all, he is an ordinary nobleman, it is difficult to guarantee that he will always stand on the side of the witches. This is also the task I want to give you, once a month you will fly back and tell us what happened in Border Town, at the same time bring our news back to the witches of the Witch Cooperation Association. In this way, the two sides can also establish contact. If the town is in danger, you can also help them escape from Graycastle and go to the Fjords. "
"Is that so?" Maggie blinked.
"That's it," she nodded, "I believe you can do it."
