Witch of Knowledge: “You can’t put it like that. We still haven’t found out who is pulling the strings from behind the scenes. I think it’s better to remain steady for now.”
Visionary Witch: “I think Ursula has a point. Even if we want stability, shouldn’t we deal with the internal unstable factors first to achieve it?”
Currently, two voices had emerged within the management.
Diana felt that the priority should be the stability of the entire Abandoned Land. They couldn’t let things escalate; otherwise, forget the whole region—Typhon City and the surrounding towns would be the first to fall into chaos.
Ursula’s perspective was much simpler: eliminate everyone making suspicious moves from a physical level, and everything else would be easy to solve afterward.
As a result, a debate broke out in the group chat.
However, before they could exchange more than a few sentences, Bei Adolis stepped in and ended the argument.
Golden Witch: “No need to argue. The Yeti race has already fled. As for where they’ve hidden, nobody knows.”
Golden Witch: “Additionally, the Flame Witch, Pandora, is heading toward another location. It’s no surprise that she’s preparing to take action.”
Witch of Knowledge: “Another location?”
Golden Witch: “The settlement of the Winged People.”
Indeed.
Although that feather hadn’t been identified, both Martha and the others could guess who it belonged to the moment they saw it.
Setting aside the obvious characteristic of a feather, one only needed to recall that shot of yellow aurora to find the answer in the 《Race Survey Report》 previously provided by Lan Qingyou.
—Thunderbolt Spear.
Only that racial talent could shoot so fast, so far, and so accurately.
Witch of Knowledge: “...Have people prepare. Don’t let that crazy woman burn down the entire forest.”
Golden Witch: “Members of the Witch Group are already on their way to put out the fires.”
Diana breathed a sigh of relief seeing that someone was handling the aftermath.
The Flame Witch, Pandora, was the most proficient user of fire magic among all the witches Diana knew.
While her fire magic might not have reached the absolute pinnacle yet...
It was certainly powerful enough to cremate someone until only crystals remained.
Therefore, to prevent the entire forest from being reduced to ash, Diana immediately decided to send people to extinguish the flames.
However...
Since someone was already on it, that was for the best.
As for the Winged People Pandora was targeting, that wasn’t her concern.
After all, mistakes demanded punishment.
Since Pandora was already on her way, Diana’s talk of stability seemed a bit ridiculous now.
The Witch Group guarding the nodes had the same decision-making authority as the management.
Especially when a member of the Witch Group guarding a node had been killed.
She picked up her card, preparing to send a reply.
But just as she was about to type, the sunlight outside the window was suddenly blocked by something, then reappeared, then was blocked again.
It was as if a long train were passing by outside.
However, there were no trains in this world. What could possibly be large enough to block the window of a ten-meter-high second floor?
Frowning in confusion, Diana turned her head to look.
Swarms of Winged People, weapons in hand, were flying past the window, launching indiscriminate attacks on Typhon City.
In the hands of some Winged People were hanging baskets.
Inside each basket stood two or three members of the Little People race.
“Shit!”
Seeing these groups of Winged People and Little People, even the most oblivious person could guess what was about to happen.
Witch of Knowledge: “Immediately cut the power supply to all teleportation circles. If they can’t be held, destroy them directly.”
Diana immediately posted this message in the group.
But it was already too late.
Visionary Witch: “The teleportation circle in the northern industrial zone has already been occupied.”
Witch of Poison: “The western academy district as well.”
Golden Witch: “The eastern commercial area has also been taken. Damn it, they came prepared.”
“Shit!”
Diana, who usually possessed excellent breeding, cursed once again.
Calm down.
She needed to stay calm at a time like this.
First, she had to clarify the most urgent tasks.
Diana took several deep breaths to steady her heart, then switched to the Tea Party group and enabled the mute function.
Witch of Knowledge: “The Abandoned Land is under large-scale invasion. All witches in Typhon City, except for members of the Witch Group, must immediately gather at the Central Habitat.”
Witch of Knowledge: “Witches outside Typhon City—whether in the Abandoned City, Abandoned Harbor, or other towns—must immediately head to the nearest shelter.”
Witch of Knowledge: “Furthermore, from this moment on, all witches are forbidden from having any contact with transmigrators who have not evolved.”
After sending these messages, Diana relaxed slightly.
Her reasoning was simple.
Since the enemy needed witch blood, the ultimate goal of this war would fail as long as the witches were kept safe.
But to be honest, Diana could only guarantee safety for those within Typhon City.
As for whether the witches outside the city could successfully team up and reach a shelter, she had no confidence at all.
After all, since these birdmen and midgets had already reached Typhon City, she couldn’t even imagine what the situation was like outside.
And the second task...
Diana switched back to the management group.
Witch of Knowledge: “@Visionary Witch, pack up all the factory equipment. Pack all the completed golems and parts as well. Anything that can’t be carried should be destroyed on the spot. Gather at the Central Habitat once finished.”
Witch of Knowledge: “@Witch of Poison, take all the books from the academy library. Don’t leave a single scrap of paper behind. Gather at the Central Habitat once finished.”
Golden Witch: “I’ll collect all the gold coins and materials, then gather at the Central Habitat.”
When Diana was about to tag Bei Adolis, the latter beat her to it.
But that wasn’t enough.
Witch of Knowledge: “Food and water as well.”
Golden Witch: “Understood.”
Bei Adolis replied.
Such a task was incredibly easy for her.
After all, she was in charge of the finances and materials. There was plenty of food and water in the warehouses, enough for everyone to use.
She didn’t even spare a glance for the small amounts in the shops outside.
Visionary Witch: “A scorched earth policy?”
Witch of Knowledge: “Yes.”
Regardless, they just had to ensure the enemy didn’t get any more witch blood.
Witch of Poison: “That’s all well and good, but can the Central Habitat accommodate so many people?”
There were currently nearly four hundred thousand witches in the Abandoned Land. Squeezing so many people into one place was a bit of a stretch.
Even if the place had been personally expanded by Lan Qingyou, and even if not all the witches were currently in Typhon City.
There were still over a hundred thousand of them. After all, this place was considered the capital of the Witch race.
Visionary Witch: “What about the civilians in the city?”
Margaret suddenly asked a very pointed question.
Rate on N.U.
