She Is Not a Witch Chapter 334: Judgment in the firelight

"Click!"

A thunder flashed across the sky, and the violent sound exploded in the thick clouds, and then turned into a rolling roar, spreading to a distant direction.

In this season of late autumn, the weather is already cold, and a downpour of rain makes the night in the mountains even more unbearable.

The heavy rain washed away the fallen leaves, and the water splashed among the stones and grass, converging into streams and flowing down the mountain.

In the forest at night, a braced brazier is still burning, and the iron roof on it can effectively prevent the rain from extinguishing the flames.

In the dark forest, these burning braziers are like small dots of light, embellishing the dark land, forming a faint long dragon, winding between mountains and valleys, quiet and spectacular.

In the temporary tent, the warriors of the Dryas Wood organization were maintaining their weapons and preparing dinner, and some soldiers were patrolling at night wearing coir raincoats to prevent possible attacks.

After declaring war against the Western Empire, about 400,000 troops from the southern border divided into two groups and entered the western border. One supported the independent son of the Griffin, Jailan, and the other marched from the mountains further southwestern. The hinterland of the Western Territory.

"My lord, the whole camp has been camped out, and a warning line has been established around the periphery."

A large tent is hidden in the dense forest. After the curtain is lifted, the bright yellow light overflows from inside.

In the tent, Gu Huasi was sitting at the head, and a large square table was placed below, with a map on it, and several staff officers beside them, who were discussing the future marching route, and there were several others beside them. At a small table, three secretaries are sorting out information and recording problems encountered during the march.

Compared to the past, Gouvath is a little more solemn now, wearing a solid armor with corresponding epaulettes on his shoulders, but it is a pity that his waistline as wide as three people and thick arms make his overall image incompatible with others , still exudes a rough and heroic atmosphere.

"Good job, give Sir Sante three chicken legs." He slapped his thigh and said to the guard behind him.

Then the guard took out still hot food from the fresh-keeping metal box behind the guard and brought it to the officer who hadn't eaten dinner.

Although he became a general, Gu Huasi still retained many of his previous hobbies, like eating and drinking, so there was a special chef in the accompanying guards.

In his words, "These are the only hobbies I have. If I quit even this, what's the taste of life?"

Although there may be a lot of gaps in military strategy compared to those rising geniuses in the younger generations, this guy is still the unshakable number one figure in the Dryas army. Except for Lorraine Hill, almost no one can control him he.

Fortunately, he is not the kind of blind and arrogant person. He seldom intervenes indiscriminately in the design of the battle plan. He only fulfills the general's responsibility in leading troops and taking the lead.

After discussing the next actions with several staff officers, today's affairs are basically settled. Gu Huasi leaned on the thick wooden chair, and the heavy armor and body pressed the wooden chair to make a creaking sound.

Fingers tapped on the armrest continuously, and after going through today's events, feeling that there was nothing wrong, the rough general opened his eyes again.

"Pour me a glass of beer." After he finished speaking, the guard next to him took out a large wooden cup, took out a full cup from the wooden barrel behind the tent, and handed it to this man.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, after pouring a full glass of beer, the general made a refreshing sound, feeling that the fatigue of today's march seemed to dissipate in an instant, and then he was ready to refill his glass.

"No need." A cold voice stopped the guards on the side.

"This..." The guard hesitated for a moment.

Hearing the cold voice from the side, Gu Huasi waved his hand to let the guard who was in trouble step back temporarily.

"Miss Pelit Witch, don't be so harsh. I remember His Royal Highness Jialan said at the beginning that I can drink some beer, as long as it doesn't affect my work. Look, I've dealt with everything for the day..." said He sat up straight from the wooden chair, turned around, and looked at the indifferent witch who had just entered the tent.

The witch's robe with a black background well outlines Pelit's figure, and the silver frost patterns on the sleeves and collar indicate that she is the frost leaf witch branch of the "Witches of the Four Seasons".

As an excellent member of the "Witches of the Four Seasons", Pelit was entrusted by Lorraine Hill with an important task, which is to supervise and assist the general Gu Huasi.

As the existence of Death Sequence 6, this witch always looks like no one should enter wherever she goes. Although she has a good appearance, many people are still afraid of her. With a strong mobility, even if Gu Huasi is stronger than her, he dare not neglect her.

"His Royal Highness Jia Lan said that you can drink without being affected after finishing work on weekdays, but now it is in war, so please don't make mistakes, General." Get used to it and get used to it.

She sat down at the large square table, put down the cardboard and book pages in front of her arms, and quickly dealt with today's unfinished business by the bright yellow lights, and made plans for tomorrow's arrangements.

Compared to Guvas, who is tolerant and indulgent, Pelit is the one who arranges the general's daily itinerary. From the speech pickaxe to boost morale, the theme of the meeting, the time allocation for inspection and training, everything is basically the same. She is doing it.

Without this talented military adjutant, Gu Huasi's military command ability would be greatly reduced, which is why Lorraine Hill put this witch in the army.

Looking at the adjutant who was still working hard, Gu Huasi lost his temper at this time, so he could only shake his hands and asked if there was any supper or something to warm up the lady witch.

When Pelit finished handling the matter in hand, a bowl of hot chicken soup and bread was brought over by the guard.

"Eat something. It's raining heavily today. Although you are a transcendent, you are a girl after all. If you get sick, I won't be able to explain it to Master Jialan." Gu Huasi persuaded this Miss witch.

Although the tip of his nose snorted softly, Pelit was not the kind of person who didn't know what to do, and he didn't mock or refuse, but just silently finished the supper in front of him.

"Master Guhuasi should go to bed earlier tonight." After eating, the lady witch stood up.

"According to the predictions of the fellow Wind Leaf Witches, the torrential rain will stop in the second half of the night, and there will be a brief clear tomorrow morning, just for the journey, and in the afternoon, it may rain again."

The witches of the four seasons perform their duties, among which the Witch of Wind Leaf mainly focuses on predicting the weather and spreading knowledge and ideas.

"I see." Gu Huasi nodded casually, expressing his understanding.

Seeing that the general didn't care, Pelit seemed to be feeling a little uneasy again. She shook her head to suppress it, and then explained the reason.

"Do you think I'm harsh, it's true." She admitted her shortcomings generously.

"But now it really needs to be more focused and serious."

"This is the first time our Dryas has stepped into the empire's foreign land to fight. It is completely different from the past. The soldiers only follow orders, and we have to think about more things."

"Victory is necessary, but future governance is also important. This is a rare war of liberation, not a war of aggression between nobles or countries in the past."

"At present, we are still very young about this, but the matter is of great importance, so we must pay special attention."

"That's why I will be harsher, Lord Govath, please forgive me." After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the general, before slowly exiting the tent.

Seeing the leaving figure of the young witch, Gu Huasi picked up the empty cup beside him and prepared to take a sip, but he looked at it again and put it down with a sigh.

"Sigh, these little girls are really amazing, I don't even want to drink what they said. Forget it, if it wasn't for Master Jialan, I would have died that night, so let's put up with this little thing."

As a system completely different from the empire, the Dryas organization is not only different from the empire in terms of structure, but also puts a lot of effort and energy into the propaganda and popularization of ideas, and the army is the top priority.

So, during the march, you can often see those members wearing the Dryerwood badge on their chests and explaining the propaganda to their companions.

It is precisely because of these countless active bottom-level members that the army and the people are firmly in control of the organization, and the fighting will and discipline are greatly guaranteed.

This is also the reason why Lorraine Hill and other high-level organizations still maintain great confidence even when they are not as good as the enemy on paper.

————

Three days later, the 80,000 army marching westward broke into the hinterland of the western border and began to fight the local nobleman, Earl Derich.

On the city wall, a flag with the head of a red and gray eagle hangs, and local soldiers with muskets are condescending and shooting continuously.

Below the city wall, the Dryas soldiers with new-style rifles on their shoulders crawled forward, using the trees in the valley to keep dodging and advancing, and gradually approached the castle.

"Damn it, those trees blocked the shooting." The noble officer on the city wall looked at the Dryas soldiers approaching below, shocked and angry.

"Burn them!" A bearded nobleman ordered angrily.

Then the only few wizards in the castle began to cast spells, and the flaming meteors began to gather, and then slashed down the sky, smashing into the densely wooded valley with a long flame tail.

"Start!"

Seeing the fireball that has been accumulated for a long time descending, the witches on the Dryas who had been prepared for a long time also cast spells to deal with it.

The thick gas mask rises up, rotates at high speed, tears the falling bolides, turns them into streams of fire, and flings them to the surrounding distance. Even if they fall, they can only cause a small part of the fire, not Smothering the raging flames.

Amidst the scattered fire waves and scorched smoke, soldiers one after another quickly approached the corner of the wall, and then a violent explosion sounded, and the city wall collapsed with a gap.

The horn of the charge sounded in the forest, and then a roar sounded, and many soldiers began to run wildly in the valley, pouring into the gap that was blasted.

No matter how frantically the defenders on the city wall fired at this moment, they could not stop the wave of attack, and soon fierce street fighting broke out in the castle. Gunpowder smoke and gunshots came from the towers and firing holes from time to time, and a burst of noise began to spread in the castle.

Not long after.

"Wow——" Gu Huasi brandished the huge axe, and a violent slash cut instantly, breaking the shooting tower in front of him.

With this invincible general charging forward, various strong fortresses were easily destroyed like sand, and various strongholds in the castle were captured at an extremely fast speed.

"Go!"

Seeing that he couldn't hold on, Earl Derich took his two sons and guards, rode on the only few griffins, and flew towards the sky, preparing to escape from the fallen castle.

"You can't escape."

A cold voice sounded from behind him, and then Earl Derich felt his body stiffen, and he fell from the sky together with the griffin. Screaming in horror.

"No—"

It was about to be smashed into a ball of flesh, but as a white-robed witch stretched out her hand, the compressed air cushion instantly rose up, buffering the impact, so that the earl did not die on the spot, but fell all over his body Broken bones, excruciating pain.

Whether he will die or not, the people present don't know, but what they can be sure of is that the earl will be tried and will be punished and dealt with as he should.

Just killing the bodies of these nobles is not enough, but also destroying them spiritually, completely eradicating their prestige and invincible image among the common people.

In this way, the shackles can be broken step by step, and these residents can be liberated from the old thinking imprisonment of the past.

Even if the ancestors had achievements in the past, they cannot be changed. Most of the nobles today are depraved parasites.

They are neither holy, nor great, nor worthy of fear.

In the flames, a red-and-gray eagle-headed flag was thrown into the fire and burned. Those pampered noble children who used to be dressed in brocade clothes were led by soldiers to the center of the square where the bonfire was burning.

All the nearby villagers and residents were summoned to look at the scene in front of them with worry and anticipation.

In the reflection of the fire, these nobles no longer had the elegance and arrogance of the past, their hair was messy, some were motionless, some could only cry, and some tried to struggle until they were hit by the gun butts and knelt down. Only then did it settle down.

After all the staff arrived, a stern black-clothed witch walked over to the high platform through the ruins of fire and gunpowder smoke.

She unfolded the scroll in her hand, and began to read the crimes that the Drich family had committed and condoned over the years, as well as the tragedies that resulted, and announced the familiar and unfamiliar faces that were found imprisoned under the castle.

Some of these people are beautiful girls who have been plundered, some are people who have offended the Derich family, and some are civilians who were caught by the Derich family and wanted to persecute money and treasures.

After the evidence and charges were read out one by one, nobles who had committed unforgivable crimes were escorted to kneel before the crowd.

Following an order, the stern blade slashed down in the flames, and the heads fell one by one, rolling on the ashes of the ground, covered with blood and mud, and they could no longer see what they used to be.

The crimson blood is still spraying on the neck, the thick blood, the falling head, all these are like a giant hammer hitting the hearts of countless residents, giving people an incomparable shock and impact.

They stared blankly at this scene ~IndoMTL.com~ felt cold and hot all over.

They, how dare they? Well, that is a nobleman, such a noble person...

The flame is still burning, and the nose is full of blood and gunpowder smoke. All the information received in the mind is like burning, which makes people tremble and the body trembles.

Nobles, lords, those powerful knights, unexpectedly, unexpectedly died like this, just like this.

In a trance, everything became blurred, it seemed that someone was shouting and cheering, and that voice became clearer and clearer in the firelight.

Until it explodes in the chest cavity and out of the throat.

"For the sake of enlightenment and justice, the iron fire will never go out!"

In front of the burning ruined castle, one by one fists were raised high, and the sound of the oath resounded through the sky.
