Heidi stumbled and fell into the rain. The water splashed into her mouth, nose, and collar.
It was an indescribable feeling. She did not feel any severe pain, but she could not muster up any strength.
"Don't worry about me. Go and kill her!" Heidi shouted hoarsely without checking her injuries.
But Nightfall's reaction disappointed her.
The combat witch of the Bloodfang Association hesitated and stopped. Finally, she returned to Heidi's side and asked, "Are you... okay?"
Idiot! Only by restraining them can I turn the situation around. What's the use even if I'm not injured? Heidi wanted to vent her anger, but she did not even have the strength to open her mouth.
Skyflare's painful cry came from behind her, and then the sound of fighting subsided.
It was not easy for Heidi to hold on for a few breaths in the face of the Extraordinary Ashes.
The numbness gradually subsided, and she felt a burning sensation in her thigh, which was especially obvious under the rain.
Heidi struggled to raise her head and saw Andrea slowly walking to her.
"Do you still want to resist?"
"No..." Nightfall answered. She turned around and knelt down. "I surrender. Please don't kill Lady Heidi."
"If I wanted to kill her, her head would have been blown off." Andrea wiped the rain off her forehead. "I'm keeping her alive now because Her Highness Tilly still hasn't figured out something. When the evidence is conclusive, she'll get the punishment she deserves."
"Evidence?" Nightfall said blankly, "Annie betrayed the witches of the Bloodfang Association. That's why Her Highness killed her!"
"Oh? Is that what she said to you? As far as I know, Annie has never joined the Bloodfang Association. "Andrea shrugged." Anyway, when all the facts are revealed, you'll know what kind of person Heidi Morgan is. " Then she turned around and shouted at Shadow, "Go get Pandora. If she doesn't stop the bleeding, she'll die."
At this moment, Heidi finally felt the pain. She could not move her leg at all, as if there was a heavy object that did not belong to her. Wave after wave of pain replaced the scorching heat, and at the same time, she recovered a little bit of her spirit.
It was over.
She knew exactly what was going to happen next.
Since Tilly dared to do this, she must have known something about him. As long as there were clues, it would not be difficult for the witches to find out the truth. Even if the witches of Sleeping Island could not do it, there were still the witches of the Western Region.
The problem lay with Iffy and Softfeathers.
She had underestimated that silly girl, Tilly.
As Andrea turned around, Heidi gritted her teeth and released her magic with the last of her strength.
Within a range of ten steps, her ability could make hollow objects collapse from the inside, regardless of whether they were living things or containers.
She called it "crushing power."
Defeat was a foregone conclusion, but Heidi did not want to let Tilly win so easily. At least she wanted to teach that guy an unforgettable lesson!
"No, my lord!" Nightfall exclaimed when he noticed her actions.
Too late! She laughed maliciously in her heart.
However, the ability did not take effect.
The moment she made her move, an invisible barrier dispersed her crushing power.
"You … are wearing a God's Stone of Retaliation!" Heidi said with her eyes wide open. "Wait, the thing that hurt me was not Tilly's new ability?"
"Unrepentant. It seems that you're still full of energy." Andrea showed a disgusted look, raised the iron bar and smashed it down.
Heidi only felt a buzzing sound in her head, and then she fell into darkness.
…
"That's it." Andrea looked at Heidi Morgan and Skyflare who were being carried away and asked, "How's the situation on your side?"
"Not bad, but Skyflare may not be able to hold on until we reach the Western Region."
"Why did you hit them so hard?" Andrea showed a look of disgust. "Didn't Lady Tilly say to keep them alive as much as possible?"
"I didn't expect that she would choose to fight with her life on the line, and her skills are not bad." Ashes licked the rainwater from the corner of her mouth. "It's not impossible to capture her alive, but I'm worried that you'll make a mistake at the critical moment, so I had to end the battle quickly."
"You —" Andrea was angry for a moment.
"That's how it is. If you had shown them the Glass Beads earlier, maybe they wouldn't have chosen to fight with their lives on the line." The Extraordinary sighed. "They just had to hold on to the flintlock. How would they know what it is?"
"Stop arguing. Lady Tilly is still waiting for your report," Shadow reminded helplessly. "And even if you want to argue, don't stand in the rain. What if you really catch a cold?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, then rolled their eyes at each other before ending the argument and returning to the palace side by side.
…
After reporting what had happened to Tilly, Andrea noticed that Tilly's expression was not very good. She was not as relaxed or comfortable as if she had solved a big problem, but rather felt a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Ashes held her hand. "Are you not feeling well?"
Tilly shook her head. "When I first saw Roland's secret letter, I actually didn't want to believe its contents." Her tone sounded quite sad. "It's not easy for us witches to have our own home. Why would we want to repeat the tragedy of the past? Isn't it better to live peacefully here?"
"You've done a good job," Ashes comforted her. "Not all combat witches will unconditionally agree with Heidi's way of doing things, especially after their lives have improved. Some combat witches have sided with us, including the members of the Bloodfang Association."
"She's right." Andrea did not like Ashes, but she did not want to see Tilly sad at this time. "The fact that Nightfall didn't listen to Heidi's order to resist desperately is also proof. As long as we have enough time, everyone will stick together, just like the Witch Union."
"I hope so." Tilly took a deep breath. "Since Heidi has done this, I can't indulge her anymore. But according to Iffy, most of the witches of the Bloodfang Association don't know about this. Later, I'll ask Camilla to gather them. As long as they are willing to stay here and wait for the result, don't treat them as enemies. "
Andrea and Andrea nodded. It was not easy for Sleeping Island to become lively again. No one wanted these witches to be separated.
"Once the storm passes, we'll take Heidi to the Western Region," Andrea continued.
"Are we going to fight against the church?" Ashes's voice became excited.
"Yes." Tilly closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "We'll fight against the Judgement Army, the God's Punishment Army, the Pure Witches, and even the Divine Will. As Roland said in the letter, if we can completely defeat the church, the witches will truly be liberated. Even if he's not my brother, I should still help him... because that's also helping myself. "She paused for a moment." Are you willing to go with me? "
"Of course," Ashes replied without hesitation. "I'll always be with you."
