The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 118: The Pursuit (Part 2)

Although Roland let the First Army train twice a day, he never let them march in the night.

It is dangerous for the troops to march at night, they will not be able to see the road, he said,

there was also a change that they could be attacked by wild beasts or snakes, get lost easily and if they used torches they would become natural targets.

So he had to wait until dawn the next day before he could let his troops march, following the Duke's army.

To ensure a smooth succession of operations, the Prince decided to follow the First Army on the battlefield.

Of course, compared to driving on the bumpy road and feeling the sick base, he chose to drive in Little Town.

After half a month of training, the Hummingbird can now lighten and transport a twelve-pound cannon for a fixed distance.

Roland also took into account that the heavier the object the longer the dazzling process took so he arranged for it to begin with a transformation at dawn.

He also had to consider that the first cannon had to be bewitched the longest, at most,

and the remaining cannons would be bewitched in descending order of duration to ensure that the four cannons would lose their charm as close as possible.

Thanks to the Hummingbird's ability, the Small Town was now able to carry four cannons at once as well as their corresponding artillery team members.

That huge cement boat was now full of – people besides the artillery team and Roland, there was also Anna, Nightingale, Nana, Leaves, Echo, Hummingbird, and Lord Pine on board.

Lastly, there is also Wendy, she is responsible for giving power and Brian acts as the steering man.

That said, except for Scroll, Soraya, Lily and Mystery Moon, who were all magicians who could not fight, almost the entire nest had come out.

Originally Anna did not need to join them on the battlefield, but under the determination shown in her eyes, it was,

Roland could not find it in his heart to let him stay in Border Town.

Six troops from the First Army's firing team are under the leadership of Carter and Iron Axe following the mark made by Lightning, who is responsible for tracking down the enemy.

This group of people quietly marched behind the enemy, always keeping it just outside the range of the enemy scouts. By the time Lightning realized the enemy's reconnaissance activities, the army would immediately stop its advance.

Along the way they could also capture many mercenaries and freedmen, but at this moment they were unable to face the surrender of the enemy.

So they had no other choice but to disarm them, so now there were other guards who were not members of the shooting team following them on the road.

This was the first time Roland had guided his “Tentiary” on a conquest mission, he stood in the bow of the Little City and felt the morning breeze,

while at the same time also feel very proud of his own success.

"What are you laughing at?" Anna suddenly appeared by his side, and directly looked into his eyes, he asked.

"Nh ..." Roland quickly threw away his smile,

"Nothing."

"Thank you?" He took a handkerchief and gave it to her,

"There's saliva on your face."

"..."

Roland suddenly had the urge to jump into the water,

"Thank you."

When Lighting reported about the enemy camp, the sun had already set.

According to the information he gathered during his investigation, the enemy seemed to show signs of walking away from a heavy defeat resulting in their morale falling to freezing point.

When they set up their camp at dusk and sent their knights to scout, they couldn't wait to end their investigation and return to the camp,

for fear of not finding a way back in the dark. Roland's troops were stationed on the shore, two kilometers away from Duke's troops.

Along the way, they did not meet with the enemy, so the plan to annihilate the enemy was already half way successful.

Now he only needed to wait until the first light of the next day, and then when the enemy was still in the preparatory stage, their siege could begin.

This was the first time Roland had spent a night in the wild, and he was more likely to sleep in the Small Town than meet all the reptiles that would run through the camp.

The cannons parked on the ship and the inventory in the warehouse had already been emptied and taken to the camp so that the Little City could become the temporary residence of the Prince.

In addition to Roland, the other witches also stayed on the ship for the night. The floor was covered by a mattress, and everyone lay shoulder to shoulder.

Roland wanted to show some courtesy, but in the end, the witches were much less concerned about the matter than him.

Except for Anna, they all faced many hardships during their lives, escaping from one place to another,

so sleeping in the wild has become commonplace for them. Soon, everyone could fall asleep, only Roland and Anna had trouble sleeping.

The first one was so used to the soft bed, that he had some difficulty adapting to the hard, deck surface,

while the latter did not know what he should think, he ended up just turning his head to the side and watching Roland.

If he was not afraid that the others would wake up from the noise, Roland really wanted to pinch the tip of Anna's little nose,

forced her to open her eyes and then embrace him. This way, the two of them ended up unable to sleep for a long time.

When the sky was still not bright, Roland began his plan to besiege the enemy camp:

He divided his army of two hundred and seventy into two teams, each group being supported by two cannons.

One of them was sent to the back of the Duke camp, about a kilometer down Duke street. Lightning is still responsible for monitoring Duke's movements,

but other than that, when the cannons were installed in her position, the little girl also had instructions to tell Roland.

The moment he received the signal, he would send Carter out along with the other First Forces to begin raiding the Duke camp.

In order to prevent the cement ship from getting away from the correct route, Nightingale would step into her fog.

After all, his black and white vision could also be used as night vision, so with his instructions, Brian could move the ship as if it was still day.

This process has been repeatedly practiced, and now everyone can do their part even with their eyes closed.

Wendy was once again responsible for turning on the screen, under her efforts it was almost as if the Little City had become very ambitious.

In just an hour all the troops had been stationed in their respective positions and Iron Axe had taken command of the interception team.

Seeing this, Lightning flew over Carter's team, and showed them an orange flag. At this point, the first light of the new day could be seen.

And now the plan of siege and extermination has finally stepped into its final section.

Since Carter's team was only responsible for protecting the two cannons, they didn't need to move forward, so Echo was assigned to work under the command of the Iron Axe.

When Carter's team reached the camp, they quickly moved the cannons to their positions and pointed them to the enemy camp –

at this time most of the enemies were still sleeping.

With the distinctive roaring sound of cannons, dense bullets crashed into the enemy camp.This woke up the knights and mercenaries who rushed out of their tents,

but they had already been awaited by Carter's team, who were all quietly standing there in formation.

With their previous experience of defeat, no one dared to challenge this seemingly thin line of defense, they simply gathered together and tried to flee towards the East.

Straight into the arms of the Iron Axe that was waiting. When the enemy appeared in his field of vision, the final stage for when the Duke's extermination had begun.

Echo began to play her music, and under the sound of her drums, two neatly arranged lines began to move forward towards the enemy –

to put pressure on Duke, Iron Axe had to take the initiative to attack and intercept the enemy. The Duke.

If they were just clinging to where they were, the enemy would likely drive their horses and pass them and escape into the forest.

Duke Ryan had fallen into despair, he was unable to understand how the others could catch up and even catch up with them.

Should I admit my failure and give up?

He wondered what Roland Wimbledon would do to a Duke who dared to draw his sword and attack a member of the royal family.

Whether he would imprison her, whether he would send her into seclusion, but he would most likely send her directly to the guillotine.

No matter what, Longsong Stronghold's future definitely had nothing to do with him.

Seeing how the enemy approached step by step, as well as how from time to time the roaring sound and red flames of this terrifying weapon would once again spread terror within his men, he said,

he knew if he did not escape this time, he would never again have the possibility to escape.

He only had thirty people left, so this was truly his last chance.

“They can't stop us,” cried Duke,

“as long as we cross the street, they won't be able to catch up to us, after all, they only have two legs, let alone we are only half a day from there.fort!”

The duke then began to push his mount forward, unfortunately, not everyone had such a desperate spirit like him.

In the end, except for his personal bodyguards, only a few others followed his attack.

The duke stopped, on the other side also stopped at the same time, as well as standing in a neat line like a wall.

He then saw how the other party had started to lift their strange staff.

When there were only about a hundred steps left between the Duke and the human wall, he could hear the sound of one bang after another.

He then felt a piercing pain in his chest and stomach, giving him a feeling like he was struck by a war hammer.

Then comes paralysis and a feeling of helplessness. His body began to fall backwards, eventually falling off his horse

As he fell, the Duke opened his mouth trying to say something, but no clear sound came out, he could only cough twice,

then a strong sweet smell entered his nose, and his throat was blocked by the sticky liquid. Then darkness began to surround him.
