Chapter 159 The Most Powerful Persuasion

Before Roland met the new witch, he had already heard the detailed situation from Tasa. ≯Eight≯One Chinese≯﹤

He didn't expect that the long-lost Tilly Wimbledon would actually become the leader of another witch organization, and even beat him to gather more than half of the witches in the Kingdom of Graycastle. What is even more intolerable is that now she still wants to stretch her claws into her own territory.

According to Nightingale, the witch in front of her is a mortal, and her ability is likely to be combat-oriented.

Any mortal deserves to be treated with caution, so when meeting Ashes in the office, besides the invisible Nightingale, Roland also stood beside Anna. In front of the desk, there are several extremely thin lines of black fire forming a wall that cannot be detected by the naked eye. As long as she dares to rush up, she will be divided into several sections by these thin lines.

When enhanced witches don't wear God's Stone of Retaliation, they don't have an advantage in the witch civil war, but once they wear the stone, they have unlimited destructive power. Fortunately, the Divine Stone is hated by most witches, Ashes probably took this into consideration, and didn't bring the church's iconic items with him when he came to Border Town to win over witches.

"Your witches? Don't be arrogant, they are real people, they are not your personal belongings!" Ashes said coldly.

Roland was choked immediately, and he felt the embarrassment of losing his mouth for the first time after crossing. He is usually used to talking about my subjects, my people, etc., but now he is criticized by unexpected democratic speeches, which makes him extremely embarrassed. Although according to the practice of this era, there is no problem with the lord calling people or things in the territory this way, but now emphasizing this point in front of Nightingale and Anna is purely a lack of emotional intelligence, and was led into a pit by the other party.

So he coughed twice, and said kindly: "I never thought about it that way. They stayed in the town out of their own will, and I believe that this is their best destination. As for the fjord land you mentioned, Not to mention that the cross-sea trip itself is very dangerous, the climate of the fjord is unpredictable, and it is subject to storms and tsunamis all the year round, so it is not a suitable place to live at all."

"But at least there, the power of the church is very small. Witches can rely on their own strength to transform their homes and fight against natural disasters, but they have no way to fight against the church with God's Stone of Retaliation, let alone God's Punishment Army." Ashes said mercilessly, "Do you know what a stupid thing you have done? Spreading the news will only lure the church to come to your door. With all due respect, you have no way to fight God's Punishment Army. Letting the witches leave your territory is the right way to avoid tragedies practice."

Roland had heard Wendy's information about the God's Punishment Army before, and he knew that persuading the opponent with force was more effective than any words. Of course, he could ignore Ashes, but in this way, it would be tantamount to completely giving up trying to win over the witch under Tilly Wimbledon. Despite the slim chances, he wanted to try.

"How many God's Punishment Army can you fight against at the same time?" he asked.

Ashes looked a little puzzled, but in the end she still stretched out three fingers, "I can handle the three of them."

"Then let's have a contest." Roland sat up straight and said seriously, "I'll let the result of the contest tell you whether it is possible for me to win against God's Punishment Army."

"You said... what?" Ashes was stunned for a moment, and finally a different expression appeared on his cold face.

"A fair competition, one-on-one." He said word by word, "If I can beat you head-on, it will prove that I have the ability to resist the Church, right?"

Ashes showed an expression of "you're crazy", "You and me? Or...do you want witches to play?"

"Of course it's not me, let alone a witch. God's Punishment Army must have God's Stone of Retaliation." Roland smiled, "Your opponent is an ordinary knight."

Although it's a pity that I can't play in person, the opponent is a mortal witch with explosive combat power after all. It can be seen from Wendy's description that she killed alone in the monastery, and she can still be chased by many God's Punishment Army. escape. Even with bare hands or a wooden sword, it can unleash extraordinary lethality. However, the actual combat effect of the revolver remains to be studied. To be on the safe side, he decided to hand over this glorious task to Carter. If he had an ak47 in his hand, he would have to do it himself.

"Ordinary knight..." Ashes' expression returned to his original indifference, "If I win, will you let the witch follow me?"

"Of course not. Just like you lost, it's impossible for me to let Tilly bring all the witches she summoned to 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 that I'm not helpless in the face of the church. And if you lose, you will naturally remember when you go back. If you can't stay in the fjord , There is still a border land in the western region that can provide a residence for witches. Of course, if you win, at least you will be more convincing when you persuade Wendy and the others, right?"

"It's impossible for me to lose," Ashes said, "Call your knight now."

"Not now," Roland waved his hand, "A week later, I will be able to prepare for the competition. During this week, you can live in the castle and experience the life of the town with the witch, maybe you will take back the previous the opinion of."

"..." She looked at the prince for a long time before she nodded and said, "Maybe they won't have to wait seven days before they will change their views and leave Border Town with me."

Roland shrugged.

Just when she turned around and walked to the door, he suddenly stopped her, "Wait...have I seen you somewhere?"

Although I'm sure I haven't seen this face before, judging from the figure behind it, it feels inexplicably familiar. Roland recalled for a while, and this sense of familiarity seemed to come from... the palace of the royal capital.

"Didn't your personal guard tell you?" She didn't turn her head, "If Tilly hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid you would only have one hand left when you were in the palace."

After the office door was closed, Nightingale appeared and whistled, "Have you touched her butt too?"

"What?" Roland was stunned, "I don't remember such a person in the palace at all. And what do you mean "also" touched? "

Nightingale made a mouth shape, and he recognized that it was "Tyre"—hell, although he did touch the butt of the head maid, but it was because he was afraid that others would see his flaws, so he touched it according to the usual practice! I haven't bothered with you about peeping yet!

"Ahem," Anna interrupted the conversation between the two, "Are you really sure that the knight will defeat the witch? If you fail, it may affect the confidence of other witches in you."

Fortunately, Anna's expression still looked calm, and Roland breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the self-enhanced witch is not affected by God's Stone of Retaliation, she still fights with her own body functions. Weapons, the limitations of the body are always too big. I think the chance of winning is at least 70%."

But the premise is that the development of the ammunition can be completed within a week, he thought. (To be continued.)
