Fjord, Hailong Bay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The faithful of the church climbed the fence and fired crossbow arrows at the witches, but to little avail of Tsolvi's invisible barrier and Moriel's magical servants. The arrows either fell out of thin air or were swallowed by the servants. It is only a threat if the opponent shoots a demon-breaking arrow embedded in the Divine Punishment Stone.

After all, the number of Divine Punishment Stones is limited, and the unfortunate witch who is shot will be immediately dragged to the rear for treatment, as long as the bleeding is stopped in time, it will not be life-threatening. After two or three rounds of shooting, more than two dozen witches had advanced to the wall. The ashes jumped directly onto the top of the wall, cleaning up the believers who dared to show their heads.

After a few days of pre-war reconnaissance, they knew all about the weak points of the wall. The chirping of pigeons of varying lengths could be heard in the sky - it was Maisie warning that everyone had arrived at the right place.

Lian, who had experience in the previous battles, did not hesitate to show her ability, and the ground shook suddenly, and the church believers wanted to rush over to stop it, but they were all killed by the ashes one by one. The walls without the protection of the Divine Punishment Stone soon collapsed, and the witches swarmed in and used their abilities to attack the believers, and most of the people who did not wear the Divine Punishment Stone fell in an instant, while those who were still standing were cleanly harvested by the ashes.

This was the first time that the church had been attacked head-on since it was built, and the other party was also a sworn enemy of the church, and the priest stationed there also knew that at the last moment, he called on the remaining believers to take the pill and sacrifice themselves for the gods. More than a dozen mad believers wrapped their flesh and blood around the ashes, and the rest all pounced on the lotus.

Lotus had been prepared to raise a wall of earth from the ground to temporarily block the enemy, and the Stone of Divine Punishment could not eliminate the magic effect that had already been completed, and when they bypassed the earth wall, they found that the wall was empty.

The frenzied believers had no choice but to return to besiege the ashes, but the witches would suddenly appear behind them and knock down the unsuspecting enemy, causing the opponent to suffer losses every time, and after half an hour of fierce fighting, the church was full of the corpses of the faithful, and finally only the priest was left.

He trembled and put the pill to his mouth, and before he could swallow it, his arm was severed by the sword of the ashes that came forward.

"You damned evildoer, monster cursed by the devil!" he roared hysterically with his severed hand, his eyes filled with fear.

"Are you afraid, did you think about how innocents felt when you tortured and slaughtered them?" said Ash coldly, "you are more like the devil's minions than witches, scum who do all kinds of evil. So, go to hell with peace of mind and report. With that, the greatsword slashed down, breaking his curse in his throat.

"We won?" said Moriel, still in disbelief as she walked up to her.

"That's right," Ash sighed, "this is the last church in the fjord, and from now on there will be no more church strongholds on the islands, and we have won!"

Although the Church's presence in the fjords was very weak, with no more than a hundred worshippers per church and no Inquisition garrison, this was the first time that the witches had won a head-on victory over the Church. From being chased around by the other party and trembling at the slightest rumor, to now storming the church and knocking the behemoth of the past to the ground, even if it is an insignificant part of the church, is enough to make the witches excited.

Just as she expected, everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly after confirming the long-awaited victory. The church was like a mountain weighing on everyone's hearts, and now they had finally pried the foot of the mountain and let a glimmer of light shine in. From now on, the fjord will become their true home.

"We won!"

"Long live Mistress Tiri!"

"Goo!"

......

Sailing back to the Isle of Sleep, Ash can't wait to return to Tilly's residence and tell her the news of the witch's victory. The latter tucked his gray hair behind his ears and smiled brightly: "Maisie has told me that it's great to hear that you're all safe." ”

Indeed, she flies much faster as a seabird than a sailboat. Ash looked around, but didn't see the familiar figure, "Where's Maisie?"

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

Ash was stunned, "She...... Returning to the West?"

"Well," Tilly said with a light smile, "she probably made a very good friend over there, and she couldn't wait to go back after only a few days." If it weren't for the help of us in defeating the church, I'm afraid she would have turned back to the border town the day the letter was delivered...... I'm really getting curious about that over there. ”

Ash hesitated before speaking, "Shouldn't I have left her over there?"

"No, that's good," replied the Five Kings in a determined tone, "and it's because you kept Maisie in Frontier that we were able to get in touch with each other easily, and I asked her to carry her reply to Roland Wimbledon with her." She grimaced, "Guess how I replied to him?"

"Of course it's a refusal, sailing across the sea is already full of risks, how can we send witches to the Westside again. ”

"No, I agreed to his request," Tilly said, curling the corners of her mouth, "and gave him a brief introduction to the abilities of the non-combat witches, and said in the letter that as long as he could protect the witches, I could consider sending some of the witches to the Frontier - well, what did he say? - study and study, grow friendships, and make progress together. She paused, "I can even go to the town myself if necessary." ”

"Your Highness!" Ash couldn't help but shout out the honorific words he had spoken from his previous role as a palace guard.

"I know what you're worried about, but the witch's worst enemy is the church right now, and one more ally for that means more power. Dealing with the fjord islands is a matter of interest, but the Mutual Aid Society in the border towns is a natural friend, since they are friends, why can't they show more kindness?" Tilly laughed, "And don't you wonder if Maisie said that witches can evolve their abilities again by learning knowledge? ”

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

Tilly stretched out her hand to interrupt Ash's words, "Don't worry, I'm not saying to leave immediately, I won't go to the danger until the situation is clear." Don't forget, Sylvie can see through all disguises, whether it's delicate makeup or magical illusions, they can't escape her eyes. As long as I go to the town with the first batch of people, she can help me find out the truth about the fourth prince. Besides, even if I encounter danger, isn't there still you by my side?"

Ash stared at her for a long time, then nodded.

"Of course, we can wait until Maisie comes back next month," Tilly smiled, "We have one more important thing to do now." ”

"What?" Ash asked, somewhat surprised. Now that the Church in the fjord has fallen, it seems that the next step is to build the Sleeping Isle in peace...... But the other party's expression didn't look like that.

The Fifth Princesses pointed to the red gem on the white silk glove, "Not only on the continent of the kingdom, but also on the Shadow Islands of the fjord, there is also an ancient ruin, and most of the magic stones purchased from the islanders came from this ruin. In the midst of the collapse of the church, I wanted to see it for myself. ”

"Is it the ghost of folklore, the Red River?" said Ash, who had heard a little about the legends after spending some time in the fjord, "and this ruin is hidden in the sea, and is surrounded by dangerous undercurrents and sea beasts, which are impossible for ordinary people to visit. And since it was first discovered, many explorers have died in the Shadows in order to catch a glimpse of this incredible spectacle. You don't know where it is, how do you get into the ruins?"

"I don't really know where it is, but I do know who can take us there - in fact, this brilliant explorer is on the Isle of Sleep, and it was he who first discovered the ruins. Tilly smiled. (To be continued.) )
