Chapter 1139 - Celines Request (1/2)
“To have a God’s Punishment Witch sit on the plane?”
“Exactly. The anti-magic area works the same way as a God’s Stone. A dozen God’s Punishment Witches should be able to kill the Magic Slayer. Even if they couldn’t, our sniper team will give him one last blow,” the Pearl of the Northern Region stated flatly. “Of course, this isn’t going to be easy. Our plan really depends on how the other party will react. Nevertheless, we do have some ways to tackle him. Personally, I think this plan will work. Our enemy has seen bullets and guns but not the ‘Seagull’. They won’t believe a man can actually fly in the sky.”
Roland instantly undertood the General Staff’s intention.
They could never rely on the sniper team entirely. If the Magic Slayer noticed that the patrolling Devilbeasts mysteriously disappeared and thereby found out this long-range weapon, he would naturally develop corresponding countermeasures. The Magic Slayer would probably swerve in the air or hurtle really low above the ground. In that case, even Andrea could not anything about him.
Andrea’s ability was to find out the enemy. However, the enemy might not necessarily show up on the battlefield.
Under such circumstances, someone else must entice the enemy out of hiding.
The one who provoked the Magic Slayer must be equally fast and powerful, but there was no such person among the witches.
Therefore, the General Staff thought of combining the glider and the God’s Punishment Witches, which Roland had to admit was a really clever strategy.
The “Seagull” could bid her time in clouds before diving to the ground. After she accumulated a certain amount of kinetic energies, the ‘Seagull” could travel over 500 miles an hour and catch up with the Magic Slayer sprinting on the ground.
Yet…
“This is the best plan we can think of at the moment, but I don’t think Ashes will agree. This is too dangerous. You may run directly into the Magic Slayer,” Roland broke off and stared at Tilly. “So…”
“I’ll let her recede,” Tilly said resolutely after a moment of silence. “I want to do this.”
“Your Highness!” Wendy yelled exasperatedly.
Roland dimly knew what the superintendent of the Witch Union was thinking. The very two figures that tied all the witches together are Anna and Tilly. The former was the queen and the latter the legal royal heir to the throne. Wendy did not want to see either of them put themselves in a dangerous position.
“This mission isn’t any different from the transporation of witches that we normally do. By the time the Magic Slayer notices the ‘Seagull’, the other Taquila witches would have rounded on him. Therefore, everything will be under control,” Tilly said with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ashes and I know what we’re doing. We won’t do anything beyond our capabilities.”
Knowing that Tilly was determined, Roland did not want to further discuss the matter. He turned to Edith and said, “Go on.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Edith replied as she walked to the map. “The last step of this plan is to launch an ambush. The Senior Demons could not hold up for very long without the Red Mist, so they would have to retreat to recharge. This means that the best location for an ambush is somewhere close to their Red Mist supply line.”
“Regarding that, I have a suggestion,” Alethea cut in suddenly. “I’m not sure if you still remember the infiltration mission carried out by that Extraordinary the other day.”
“Oh… that silly girl,” Tilly said as she mopped her forehead. “She wasted one precious Five-Colored Stone because of that operation.”
“But now, we’ll have an excellent view at that location at the rear of the Taquila ruin,” Alethea said, her main tentacle high up in the air. “Once we turn on the phantom instrument, we’ll be able to see everything about their Red Mist supply line!”
Roland remembered that after the wolf girl, Lorgar, had discovered the demons in the vicinity of the ruin, the Witch Union had gone to scout around that area at once. As they had deviated from their original course, the mission had failed. If they had broken the Five-Colored Stone right in front of Taquila, they would have known every single movement of the demons and thus avoided the subsequent raid at Tower Station No. 1.
