Release that Witch - Chapter 1058

[Chapter 1037 Fighting on the Snow Field]

After the announcement of the appointment and dismissal, everyone took the oath of office as requested by Roland.

This is the first time the officials have seen such a process, but the novelty is novelty, everyone still followed it meticulously, and many of them deliberately raised their chests.

There is nothing special about the oath itself, “loyalty to the king and fulfillment of duty” – this is what every courtier often says, but on such a formal occasion, when it is said in harmony in front of everyone, it seems like It becomes tangible, as if it has a meaning that cannot be ignored.

Roland knew that they were gradually merging into a whole.

“Now that you have passed the inauguration ceremony, it’s time to start working.” He stood up from his seat and slapped his palm on the large map on the wall behind him. The safety of the northwest of Winterfell lays the foundation for humans to return to the hinterland of the mainland—this is the main goal of Graycastle next year!”

The failure of the two battles of divine will has pushed people to a desperate situation step by step, with the sea behind them, and there is no way to retreat.

No matter in terms of survival resources or strategic sense, going west is the only way out.

If one wanted to gain a firm foothold on the vast plain, one had to pull out the nail of Taquila—without the Godstone veins, the devil would not be able to erect obelisks, and only then could Graycastle truly obtain a safe frontline territory.

Afterwards, no matter whether it is concentrating on development or waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, the initiative will be held in its own hands.

After all, human actions don’t need to rely on the red mist.

When the technical power reaches a qualitative change, the attack range of the weapon will also be greatly improved.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Everyone stroked their chests in unison.

After the meeting, Roland returned to the office, and Nightingale had already placed the brewed black tea on his desk.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

She still had that relaxed expression, and the quivering dried fish at the corner of her mouth showed that she was in a pretty good mood.

“Ah…thank you,” Roland picked up the fragrant teacup, and suddenly thought of what Anna said last night, and couldn’t help but look at her more.

What exactly was the agreement, Anna never elaborated, but Nightingale stayed with everyone during the enthronement ceremony in the morning and the wedding banquet in the evening, so it didn’t look like the “agreement” could be fulfilled no matter what.

This riddle really baffled him.

Moreover, Roland vaguely felt that if they asked directly, neither of them would tell him the real answer.

“What’s wrong?” At this moment, Nightingale’s voice suddenly came from beside his ears, “Do I look particularly good today?”

“No… uh,” he quickly took a sip of tea to hide his lack of concentration, “I mean, yes…”

“So is it a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’?

“The latter bent down and brought his face close to him, Roland could even smell the fragrance from her hair, “Your heart is disturbed.

”

Before he could reply, Nightingale had already fled away, leaned on the deck chair, and proudly chewed the dried fish.

Realizing that she was teasing him, Roland shook his head helplessly, but at the same time he felt a little grateful.

In any case, at least one thing he can be sure of.

The other party was still the nightingale he was familiar with.

*******************

In the western region, over the wild snowfield.

“What’s the current speed?”

no answer.

Lightning’s ears were filled with the sound of howling winds, and it was very difficult to even open his mouth. If he spoke against the wind, his tongue might be torn apart by the blade-like turbulence.

She had to use her magic power to activate “Synchronization”.

In an instant, the biting chill disappeared from his face, and the wind noise was reduced to a tolerable level.

“Maggie, what’s the current speed?” She asked again.

“Let me see Goo!” The latter poked out half of her head from the collar below her neck, “Goo is almost twice as big as Gray Eagle.”

It probably has something to do with the instinct of beasts. Maggie has an excellent perception ability to judge speed. Compared with estimating speed based on mana consumption, it is obviously more convenient to fly with her.

“Three hundred kilometers per hour?” Lightning sighed slightly. When the gray eagle dived towards its prey from a high altitude, its speed could reach one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour. Few targets could escape such an attack.

Now she has far surpassed Gray Eagle, but she is not happy in her heart.

Three hundred kilometers… This is already the limit of flying without coherence.

Since the evolution of her ability, she spent a lot of time getting familiar with her new ability, and mastered the skill of actively controlling the magic power attunement.

In other words, as long as she can tolerate the various discomforts of high-speed flight, she can always keep the consumption to a minimum.

In this regard, His Majesty Roland has also updated a complete set of equipment for her, such as windshields with arc-shaped mirrors, double-layer thermal insulation inner lining, and a body bag with less resistance, which can be said to be the ultimate within the weight limit.

This series of measures allowed her to continuously break through her own level flight records, but physical constraints still exist. Now it seems that the speed of 300 kilometers per hour may be an insurmountable hurdle.

Once the synchronization is launched, the consumption rate of magic power will increase significantly.

Lightning couldn’t help being a little envious of the extraordinary witch’s strong body.

Of course, the ability is determined at the moment of awakening, and the only thing she can rely on is hard training the day after tomorrow.

Maybe after returning to Neverwinter, she could ask Lorgar for advice on how to build a stronger body?

“Pay attention!” Maggie suddenly yelled in her arms, “We are less than a hundred kilometers away from the ruins of Taquila!”

“That’s it…” Lightning closed his eyes, carefully felt the magic power stored in his body, and then raised the corner of his mouth, “Then let’s give the devil a surprise. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com”

After mastering the new ability, His Majesty finally agreed to her search for wild game… No, the request for reconnaissance – even at the lowest cruising speed, she is far faster than those clumsy horror beasts. The possibility of it is very small.

But Lightning is not satisfied with this, she always remembers the shameful scene when she first explored the wild land three years ago and was frightened out of her wits by the devil’s ice sculpture in the ruins of the stone tower.

As an explorer, he was defeated by his guts. Such a disgrace must be compensated!

Fear stems from the unknown, and the current devil is no longer a terrible monster to her.

“Lightning, full firepower!”

Hearing this sentence, the pigeon immediately retracted its head into its collar.

The little girl began to increase her speed continuously. Even with the protection of coherence, she could feel the sound of the wind increasing rapidly, from a sharp hiss to a thick roar.

The white-capped land turned into a pool of viscous emulsion, not only the outline became blurred, but also the signs of going backward became more and more obvious.

Until that moment comes—

With a loud bang, everything was quiet.

She seemed to break free from the shackles of the world, the wind and snow had been left behind, and the entire sky was at her disposal.

In His Majesty’s words, she became the voice guide.

No matter how many times it is repeated, Lightning will never get bored.

She even felt that she was born for this moment.

A few minutes later, the Taquila ruins appeared at the end of the horizon.

However, to her surprise, the ground around the ruins seemed to suddenly change color, at first glance it looked like muddy soil after the snow had melted.

But when she looked carefully, she realized that it was actually a mixture of flesh and blood!

The black crowd of evil beasts pressed towards Taqila from the end of the field of vision, and beat the devil’s defense line like a tide.

And then to pieces.
