Chapter 222 The Long-Awaited Victory!

Fjord, Sea Dragon Bay. <

The believers of the church boarded the wall and shot crossbow arrows at the witches, but they had little effect against Shavi's invisible barrier and Molly's magical servants. Arrows either fell out of thin air or were swallowed by servants. It will only be threatening when the opponent shoots the magic-breaking arrow embedded with the God's Stone of Retaliation.

After all, the number of God's Stones of Retaliation is limited. Witches who are unfortunately shot will be dragged to the rear for treatment immediately. As long as the bleeding is stopped in time, their lives will not be endangered. After two or three rounds of shooting, more than twenty witches had advanced to the wall. Ashes jumped directly to the top of the wall to clean up those believers who dared to show their faces.

After a few days of pre-war reconnaissance, they knew the weakness of this wall like the back of their hands. Pigeons chirped in different lengths in the sky, which was Maggie's reminder that everyone had arrived at the correct location.

Lian, who had previous combat experience, did not hesitate to use her abilities, and the ground suddenly shook. Church believers tried to rush over to stop them, but Ashes killed them one by one. The wall without the protection of God's Stone of Retaliation quickly collapsed, and the witches swarmed in, using their abilities to attack the believers. Most of those who did not wear God's Stone of Retaliation fell down in an instant, while those who were still standing were clean from ashes. to harvest.

This was the first time the church had been attacked head-on since it was built, and the other party was the deadly enemy of the church. The priest stationed here also knew that it was the last moment, so he called on the remaining believers to take pills and dedicate themselves to the gods. More than a dozen crazy believers wrapped their flesh and blood around Ashes, and the rest all rushed towards Lian and the others.

Lian, who had been prepared for a long time, raised an earthen wall from the ground to temporarily block the enemies out. The God's Stone of Retaliation could not eliminate the magic effect that had been completed. When they walked around the earthen wall, they found that there was nothing behind the wall.

The frenzied believers had no choice but to go back to besiege Ashes, but the group of witches would suddenly appear behind them again, knocking down the enemies caught off guard. The corpses of believers were buried, and only the priest remained in the end.

Trembling, he put the pill to his mouth, and before he could swallow it, his arm was cut off by Ashes who came forward with a sword.

"You damn evil one! A monster cursed by the devil!" Holding his severed hand, he roared hysterically, his eyes full of fear.

"Are you afraid? When you tortured and slaughtered those innocent people, have you ever thought about their feelings?" Ashes said coldly, "Compared to witches, you are more like the minions of the devil, scum who do all kinds of evil. So, go away with peace of mind. Report from hell." After that, the giant sword fell, cutting off his curse in his throat.

"We won?" Molly walked to her side, still a little disbelieving in her tone.

"That's right," Ashes heaved a sigh of relief, "This is the last church in the fjord. From now on, there will be no church stronghold on the islands. We won!"

Although the power of the church in the fjords is very weak, each church has no more than a hundred believers, and there is no Judgment Army stationed there, but this is the first time that the witches have won the victory against the church head-on. From being chased around by the other side, trembling with fear at the slightest sound, to now capturing the church and knocking down the behemoth of the past, even an insignificant part of the church is enough to cheer up the witches.

Just as she expected, after confirming the long-awaited victory, everyone couldn't help cheering loudly. The church is like a mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts. Now, they have finally lifted the foot of the mountain and let a ray of light shine in. From then on, the fjord will become their real home.

"we won!"

"Long live Lady Tilly!"

"Cuckoo!"

...

Returning to Sleeping Island by boat, Ashes couldn't wait to rush back to Tilly's residence and tell her the news that the witch had completely won. And the latter pushed the gray silk behind his ears, and showed a bright smile: "Maggie has already told me, and I heard that you are all safe and sound, it's really great."

Indeed, compared to a sailboat, she turned into a seabird and flew much faster. Ashes looked around, but didn't see the familiar figure, "Where's Maggie?"

"She left just after reporting the news of victory," Tilly shook her head helplessly.

Ashes was startled, "She... has returned to the Western Region?"

"Well," Tilly said with a slight smile, "she probably met a very good friend there. It's only been a few days, and she can't wait to go back. If it wasn't for helping us defeat the Church, I'm afraid she would have believed It will return to Border Town on the day it is delivered... I am really getting more and more curious about it."

Ashes hesitated for a while before speaking: "Should I not leave her there?"

"No, that's very good," the fifth princess replied in a firm tone, "It is because you let Maggie stay in Border Town that we can easily get in touch with the opposite party. I also let her reply to Roland Wimbledon. Passed along together." She made a grimace, "Guess how I replied to him?"

"Of course it is a refusal. Sailing across the sea is inherently risky. How could we send witches to the west again?"

"No, I agreed to his request," Tilly said with the corners of her lips curled up, "I also briefly introduced the abilities of non-combat witches to him, and said in the letter that as long as he can protect the safety of witches, I can Thinking of sending some witches to Border Town, what did he say? By the way, study and study, enhance friendship, and make progress together." She paused, "If necessary, I can even go to the town in person."

"Your Highness!" Ashes couldn't help shouting out the honorific words from when he was a palace guard.

"I know what you're worried about, but at present the biggest enemy of witches is the church, so one more ally will give you more strength. Dealing with the Fiord Islands is a relationship of interest, and the mutual aid society in Border Town is a natural friend, Since we are friends, why can't we show more kindness?" Tilly laughed, "And I heard Maggie said that witches can evolve their abilities again by learning knowledge, don't you feel curious? If the sent witches also If you can learn this skill, Sleeping Island will definitely benefit a lot.”

"But if you go there in person, in case the other party..."

Tilly stretched out her hand and interrupted Ashes, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to leave immediately. Before the situation is clear, I won't go to dangerous places. Don't forget, Sylvie can see through all disguises, no matter the delicate ones. Makeup or magical illusions, neither can escape her eyes. As long as I go to the town with the first group of people, she can help me find out the truth about the fourth prince. Besides, even if I encounter danger, you will still be by my side ?”

Ashes looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Of course, we can wait until Maggie returns next month to discuss the specific situation," Tilly smiled. "We have one more important thing to do right now."

"What?" Ashes asked in surprise. Now that the power of the church in the fjords has been destroyed, it seems that the next step is to build the Sleeping Island with peace of mind... But the other party's expression does not seem to be the case.

The fifth princess pointed to the red gemstone on the white silk glove, "Not only in the mainland of the kingdom, but also on the Shadow Islands in the fjord, there is an ancient ruin, and most of the magic stones purchased from the islanders come from this ruin. In the gap between the collapse of the church, I want to see it for myself.”

"Is it the ghostly Red River in folklore?" After staying in the fjord for a while, Ashes also heard about these legends, "This ruin appears and disappears in the sea, and there are dangerous undercurrents and sea beasts around it. Ordinary people can't go there at all. And since it was discovered for the first time, many explorers have unfortunately died in the Shadow Islands in order to see this incredible spectacle. You don't know its exact location, how can you enter the ruins?"

"I really don't know its location, but I know who can take us there. In fact, this outstanding explorer is on Sleeping Island, and it was he who first discovered this ruin." Tilly smiled. (To be continued.) 8
