The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 105: Army Line Song

Echo was sitting at the highest point of – castle on the roof of the watchtower, from where she could see the entire city.

He could only reach the top thanks to Lightning taking him up, now he had to stay here until sunset, only then would the little girl return and bring him back.

Right now, Lightning should already be on his way to Longsong Fortress.

Today's weather was excellent, the sun was shining brightly, and the river in the distance looked in the sun like it was made of satin,

it slowly flowed west and split the green foliage on one side and the snowy landscape on the other.

Lying comfortably in the sunlight, she felt as if her entire body was being hugged warmly by the sun.

It was completely unlike the previous time at the southern end, where the scorching sunlight was so aggressive that it easily injured his skin.

Even the wind was not the same, he thought, all my life I have felt six different types of wind.

The slightly salty sea breeze in the Port of Clearwater, while in King City I felt the summer breeze and the damp, wet, warm wind,

during my journey through the Unpassable Mountains we were constantly accompanied by the cold and freezing North Wind.

And now, in Border Town, the breeze had a worldly scent. No matter what, the wind here was pure and independent.

In Ironsand City, the weather is so hot that there is no wind, or we are going to have an incredible storm.

Then the wind became visible and the stormy air mixed with rocks and pebbles, from afar looking like a giant black monster.

Every time the wind blows, I have to hide inside a house or some other place that is not open. Nothing can stop the wind.

Echo still wants to vomit. And taking revenge when he thought about his past, nearly four years ago he left Ironsand City.

His Osha clan, unfortunately, was defeated during the power struggle, his father was killed by their enemies even after he surrendered.

Echo who witnessed all of this, wanted to rush to the enemy and knock him down herself, but at that moment she was caught red-handed from behind.

He did not know how many members of his clan were still alive after these four years. Before he was sold as a slave to the Port of Clearwater,

he heard that his Osha clan had broken the sacred dueling agreement, and was now rejected by the Three Gods.

Who then exiled them to the Endless Cape, never allowed to return to Ironsand City.

But Echo knew that it was all a conspiracy of the Tibia clan,

they had applied black oil on their whips and as long as this oil was ignited, not even water could extinguish it.

It was this trick that caught her brother – the strongest warrior of the – clan off guard in the duel, so she was burned alive, which caused chaos in their team formation.

In the Endless Cape, the only thing beside the hot sand was the constantly smoldering fire of Mother Earth, which was even crazier than her brother the Sea Emperor.

Soon the people from his clan would turn into bones; but in the end, his fate as a slave was even more miserable.

When Echo woke up with her powers – she knew that she had become a witch.

Naturally, he thought of revenge, but in the end his abilities were useless, he could only make a sound.

No matter how much he pleaded with the gods, they never heard his prayers.

Six months later when he was living in the Port of Clearwater, he came to an understanding, the thought that they were loved by the three Gods was actually just a fraud of their own.

Under the jurisdiction of the Church, the witches were all hunted within the four Kingdoms. From that day on, Echo had completely given up on her hopes for revenge.

At this moment, suddenly a puff of smoke rose from a distance. He looked at the East Bank of the Shishui River and he saw some green flame light flashed between the trees.

The black smoke from the burning tree mixed with the melted snow vapor forming a gray wisp in the sky. It was Anna's green fire.

When they arrived for the first time in Border Town, Wendy had told the sisters about Anna and Nana.

When Echo heard about Anna's abilities, she was extremely envious. Anna could freely manipulate fire, even reaching temperatures hot enough to melt a sword…

If he had such powerful abilities when he stayed in Ironsand City, the people from the Tibia Clan would never be able to hurt them.

Echo shook her head, this kind of thinking was completely unnecessary, most likely her people had already turned to bone.

Since he was still alive, he could consider himself lucky.

Since His Majesty is willing to accept it, he must complete the order given by His Majesty.

He cleared his throat and began to crochet the song at the request of the Prince.

It was a cheerful short song, the Prince only hummed the melody once, but he actually remembered the entire song.

Music was nothing new to Echo, as a superior slave she was taught many things. Seductive dancing and flirtatious singing were skills he had to master.

But the music given by His Majesty was completely different.

Especially when she asked him to simulate the sound of the flute, each tone was like a pulsing beat, the people who heard this could not help but want to dance.

The difficulty lies in playing several musical instruments simultaneously, then there are also drum instruments and strings added.

So he had to simulate three different types of sounds at the same time, which overlapped each other.

Something like this was something he had never done before.

Previously he would never have believed that music could also be played this way!

and only then gradually began to combine the two.sound together.

After a few days of practice, Echo gradually mastered this type of music.

After playing it a few times, he was confident enough to finally add a string instrument.

When Echo plays a new melody for the first time, she has to change her tone a little more –

if the sound of a cheerful flute is a torso, the heated drum is the bone, and the last string that seems to be decorated is the soul.

He improved his beats, over and over again, until the three instruments were finally fully integrated, his voice getting higher and higher until he could not help but start singing –

"My attack power is higher than yours, so this is my victory."

Roland placed his last card on the table, and Soraya who was sitting opposite him covered her face and said in a low voice.

"One more round," then he thought for a moment, and shuffled the cards.

"Let me pick your ten cards this time."

"Well," the Prince coughed,

"It's too late, I still have some things to do, you have to go to another."

After laying the foundation of different cards, the next part is copying the cards that have been found.

With the template in front of him, Soraya's drawing speed was comparable to that of a printer. Soon, Roland got several copies of the same unit.

So it was only natural that Soraya became his first opponent. After explaining the rules to him, the first card war began.

During the game, he quickly learns that the thought process of the witches is completely different from that of ordinary people. Soraya quickly found the right way to use the skill.

After playing for several rounds, Roland could still win, but this was only due to using some special cards.

When Soraya asked him to make his own special card, he shyly refused.

"Alright," said Soraya, then she took the cards into her arms and ran towards the door.

At this moment, a cheerful melody came through the open window. Hearing this Soraya stopped, turned around and ran to the window, looking outside, and,

"Is that Echo?"

"Well, it looks like he really mastered it." Roland leaned back in his chair and admired the familiar music.

The first army of Border Town will soon enter the first stage of the comprehensive maneuver.

Compared to the practice of shooting while standing on the wall, comprehensive maneuvers will be carried out in the wild. At the same time they were moving through the wild, they had to maintain their formation –

always form a line of fire.

To make the soldiers march at the same speed, he had to rely on drums and slogans.

But now with Echo, he could simulate multiple instruments simultaneously.

Now they just need to learn English, then they can implement some famous marching sounds.

Compared to simple drums, marching songs not only control marching speed, but also effectively improve morale.

Of course, the most famous marching song was "The British Grenadiers", but Roland only knew his name, but he did not know his full tone.

But this was not a problem for him, as long as he had the song "The British Grenadiers", he could always rearrange his lines later.

During the “War of Resistance”, the voice could be heard all over the country, north and south of the Yangtze River.

And almost everyone is familiar with the melody, after all, it is the famous "Gerilya Song.

When Soraya turned her head towards the Prince, she heard the Prince following the song, singing softly.

She sang in a language she had never heard before, but still, her melody and lyrics fused perfectly.

“We're all snipers,”

"Every bullet takes out an enemy."

“We are all warriors with wings,”

“No fear of high mountains and deep waters.”

“In the dense forest,”

“Our friends set up their camp.”

“In high mountains,”

"Our countless brothers are there."

“…”
