Release that Witch - Chapter 171

[Chapter 170 The Gift of Vengeance (Part 1)]

The sun slowly fell into the mountains, and night fell to the west.

The envoys found an open space not far from the road and set up their tents.

A bonfire soon rose in the middle of the tent. The warriors took off their armor, stretched their tired bodies, sat around the bonfire, and boiled water to cook porridge.

Alicia got into the tent with a basin of hot water, “My lord, please wash your face.”

“Thank you.” Mira nodded with a smile and dipped the towel into the water.

“We will arrive at Border Town tomorrow. We have worked hard all the way.”

“Compared to dealing with evil beasts, this is nothing at all,” she replied, “It’s your riding skills that impress me. I thought priests were not good at traveling far. Yes

.”

“Haha, I’m not a born priest. When I was doing business, it was very common to ride a horse.” Mira wiped off the dust and sweat on her face with a towel, and handed the basin to the female warrior. Let’s

wash it off. How’s it going, are you feeling better now?”

“What?” Alicia was startled.

“It’s about the God’s Punishment Army,” the priest smiled and shook his head. “Your emotions are evident on your face, probably because of what Abrams said.”

“…” She took the basin without answering.

“We will encounter many difficulties and challenges. If we cannot cross these thresholds, not only the church, but the whole world will suffer. In order to stop those terrible enemies, sometimes sacrifices are necessary.” Mira said, “This is a dilemma. choice, but don’t forget the motto of the church.”

“Two evils, whichever is lesser.” Alicia whispered.

“That’s right, whether the cost is worth it depends on what the purpose is. Most importantly, the conversion ceremony of the God’s Punishment Army is completely voluntary. When Abrams’ elder brother decided to become the God’s Punishment Army, he had already done it. This is a noble ideal, and his name will be engraved on the stele of glory, and will be passed down with the glory of the church.”

“Thank you for your guidance,” Alicia rubbed her chest with her right hand, “I feel much better.” The

priest is right, they all sacrificed their lives to follow the glory of God, no matter what the result is, God’s Punishment Army must at least follow own beliefs.

Thinking of this, she felt the depression in her chest dissipated a lot.

“It’s good if I can help you,” Mira chuckled, “Let’s go out for dinner, they should be ready. To be honest, I’ve been drinking porridge recently, and my tongue can hardly tell the taste.”

” Fortunately, today is the last day,” Alicia also laughed, “Tomorrow we should be able to enjoy the lord’s personal hospitality and a sumptuous dinner.”

After the bland dinner, the presiding judge selected tonight’s The night watchman and the trial warriors who were not assigned to the task got into the tent one after another and went to bed early.

Alicia was no exception. She and the priest returned to the tent, extinguished the oil lamp, and covered the bedding.

After an unknown amount of time, while she was in a drowsy sleep, a slight muffled sound suddenly came from her ear, as if some object fell to the ground.

Soon, there was a second sound.

This time, she also heard the sound of the armor touching the ground, which was not obvious, but it was by no means an illusion.

Her eyes snapped open.

Turning over and getting up, Alicia quickly grabbed the two-handed sword beside her, and slowly leaned to the edge of the tent. Just as she was about to lift up a corner to observe the situation, the chief judge’s roar came from the other side, “Enemy attack! Warriors, attack!” !” The roar broke the tranquility of the night, and the camp erupted instantly.

Then there was a bang!

The presiding judge’s voice stopped abruptly.

She didn’t hesitate any longer, she rolled and rushed out of the tent, only to see that the judge’s great sword was split in two, no…not just his sword, even the judge himself was split, blood poured out into the sky, in the middle of the bonfire Under the reflection, he knelt down weakly, separated his body to the sides, and slowly fell at the feet of a woman.

The assailant was a woman wielding a strange gigantic sword, shrouded in black robes with a hood covering her face.

Under the shadow of the brim of the hat, Alicia could only see a pair of golden pupils shining.

Two more Judgment Army rushed up, but in front of that terrifying weapon, their resistance was futile.

The enemy took away a samurai with one slash, and he slashed with his sword.

The loud sound came from the moment the weapons intersected, sparks and debris overflowed, followed by the sound of blade rubbing against flesh and bone.

This nightmarish sound almost made the female warrior’s blood freeze.

“It’s a witch!” Someone exclaimed.

She is the only enemy… A person who dares to attack the Judgment Army on his own has no other possibility except the fallen who has obtained the power of the devil!

“Take the priest away!” A steady voice suddenly came from Alicia’s ear.

She turned her head and saw that it was Abrams.

“You want me to abandon my companions and leave first?” Alicia’s eyes widened.

“Otherwise, I’ll just die here meaninglessly, don’t you understand?” He frowned and growled, “The other party is not afraid of the God’s Stone of Retaliation, only extraordinary people have this ability. I will try my best to stop her, you Take the priest and walk towards the Changge Fortress! Remember to take the main road, and call for help immediately if you encounter a caravan encamped!” After speaking, he rushed towards the enemy with his sword.

Extraordinary, she took a breath. According to legend, only the God’s Punishment Army can fight against them. If you encounter an extraordinary witch, you should immediately seek help from the local church.

Alicia knew that the other party was right, and staying here would only make their sacrifices in vain.

Five teammates had already fallen on the field, and the remaining trial warriors changed their strategy and used tents and terrain to fight, so that they could buy a little more time.

But she knew that in the face of extraordinary beings whose strength and speed far surpassed them, destruction was only a matter of time.

She gritted her teeth, rushed into the tent, pulled up Mira who had already put on her shoes and was waiting for news, and ran towards the place where the horses were tied.

“What happened?” the priest asked in a deep voice.

“Extraordinary attacked the camp! I have to take you away!” She got on her horse, “Hurry up, please!”

However, if you drive at night, you can’t see the road conditions clearly. If you run wildly on the potholed road, it is easy to trip the horse’s legs.

If you jog, you won’t be able to run very far before being overtaken by the enemy.

Alicia decided to let the horses run down the road, and she and the priest sneaked into the woods beside the road.

It’s not easy to find them without fire.

The sound of weapons colliding gradually faded away. She held Mira’s hand, and relying on the dim moonlight to identify the surrounding environment, she continued to go deeper and further away from the road. She might encounter wild beasts or poisonous snakes, but it was better than encountering a witch.

UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Alicia breathed a sigh of relief until the two of them stumbled to a position close to the Impassable Mountain Range. The other party didn’t seem to be chasing them. Except for the annoying birds chirping overhead, the surrounding area was silent.

“What shall we do next?” Mira asked.

At this time, she still didn’t seem too flustered, and her calmness made Alicia admire her heart, “My lord, we can find a place with a leeward wind here, stay overnight, and wait until dawn before returning to Longsong Stronghold to seek Support.”

“Don’t you want to go to Border Town to avoid danger? It will take at least a day and a night to go back from here.”

“No need,” Alicia shook her head and said, “The Extraordinary’s arrival is too coincidental, I suspect that the lord has already colluded with the witch. Together, it’s too dangerous to go to the small town now.”

“What you said makes sense.” She froze suddenly, looking straight behind the female warrior.

Alicia’s heart sank suddenly, she turned her head, and saw the woman in black robe slowly walking out from the dark shadow of the tree, her eyes were like shining stars.

An owl circled down and landed on her shoulder.
