Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 267 The Human Army Returns in Defeat (Seeking monthly tickets on New Year's Eve!)
Glacier base.

The witches and the Knights of the Dawn fought together against the aftermath of the 317th attack.

The polar night shrouded the glacier base, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night. One could only judge by the time on the pocket watch that a month had passed.

During this month, the human army sent reinforcements three times, but they could only stay in the base and could not set foot on the real battlefield.

In this kind of demigod-level battlefield, even a five-star knight would be just cannon fodder.

In the distance, there were sometimes rumbling sounds of energy waves exploding, and sometimes dragon roars and wails, which made the human army nervous all the time.

They only hoped that it would be Grand Duke Moria, Earl Hall, Li En and others who would win in the end, rather than the dragon of the Azure Dragon Court.

Otherwise, humanity will not only face the failure of the expedition, but it is more likely that the entire southern continent will be engulfed in war.

At the Witch Tower meeting, Li En and Dorothy have been absent for three consecutive times. These three meetings were organized by Fia. All the witches were very worried about the situation of Li En and Dorothy. Sophie even wanted to go to the Glacier Base to look for Li En again, but was stopped by Fia.

Fia believes that no news is the best news at the moment. After using her wisdom to persuade all the witches to stay calm, Fia gave everyone a new task, to win Ophelia as an ally and delay Pope Randall and Constantine.

Ophelia went to the glacier base in person, picked up the 10 problematic witches, and sent them to the red tower of the Guardian Bureau. The witches who supported and guarded the glacier were replaced by a new batch.

Randall was invited to be a guest by the group of wise men. Of course, this was guided by Fia, but Randall himself was also very interested in the topics discussed by the wise men, such as whether another world exists, the kingdom of God, the kingdom of man, the triple world and the world of consciousness.

As for Constantine, he was trapped by Sophie, Ellie and Cameron.

Although Constantine is immune to magic, Sophie and Ellie are not only highly skilled in magic but also very good at fighting and swordsmanship.

Cameron is a very strong support who can use a surrogate to replace his teammates when they are about to die.

With the cooperation of the three, it was not difficult to keep Constantine, but it was impossible to kill him.

But they just need to try their best to delay Constantine and wait for Li En to return.

On the eastern border of the Holy Empire, Auglas sent envoys to discuss peace talks, hoping that the Burns Empire would temporarily put aside personal grudges for the sake of the common enemy of mankind, the Canglong Clan, and form an alliance again to fight against foreign enemies, but was rejected by the Burns people.

The old emperor Burns now only wants to crush the Holy Empire in one go. He believes that the unification of the southern continent will be more conducive to a united front against foreign enemies. The southern continent only needs one empire, not two voices.

Augulas was annoyed by the tough attitude of the Burns Empire, and issued an order that the Edward family must defend the eastern border.

Although Mary did not want to guard the border for Auglas, she could not stand the rampant face of the Burns Empire. All the way eastward, the Rose Army was brave and invincible, and directly took back the two territories that the Edward family had previously lost. The reputation of the southern overlord gradually spread in the east.

Mary's military talent was once again recognized, and she established a good cooperative relationship with Edward's family.

In addition, Mary liked to kill prisoners, so she slaughtered all the 1 captured prisoners of the Burns Empire, including the prince of Burns, teaching the Burns people a painful and profound lesson. The old emperor of the Burns Empire was so angry that he vomited blood and died, and the new king, Duke McCoy, succeeded to the throne.

Duke McCoy vowed to avenge his brother and nephew. The conflict between the Burns Empire and the Holy Empire intensified and became a war of attrition.

However, the national mourning of the Burns Empire and the succession of the new king both require time, which gives the Holy Empire some breathing space.

During this time, Mary was urgently recalled to the royal capital, the Frank family.

In the familiar Frank Castle.

Sitting at the long table were three elders, the young Emperor Augustus, and several powerful figures of the Frank family.

The Count of Arles had been expelled from his seat and was no longer eligible to attend.

"Mary, why did you do this? Why did you kill the prince of the Burns Empire?"

The elder sitting at the head asked.

Mary was silent.

"Mary, answer me!"

The elder questioned angrily.

Mary finally raised her head, her eyes cold.
"Since you don't approve of my actions, just send me back to the South. I'm living a comfortable life in the South. Why do you want me to fight on the Eastern Front?"

"Mary, is this your attitude towards the family elders? Don't think that just because you have Randall backing you up, you can ignore the family's system and honor."

The elder scolded.

Mary snorted coldly, "If you saw the daughter of the Frank family being stripped naked and hung upside down on the city wall, suffering humiliation, what would you do?"

"That's Viva Frank's own fault. We've already ordered her to die for her country. If she were a member of the Frank family, she would have had the courage to commit suicide, but she didn't. As a result, she was humiliated by the enemy and ended up in this situation."

The elder spoke in a cold tone, as if he was talking about a passerby.

Mary was very disappointed about this. She knew that her family had always been like this. Although she didn't like Viva Frank, when she thought about the fact that Viva Frank married Burns instead of herself, she felt a sense of grief.

When Mary saw Viva Frank's miserable condition, she discovered that she was still alive.

But living in such humiliation is worse than death.

So Mary used the sword in her hand to kill Viva Frank with her own hands, and vowed to make the Burns Empire pay with blood!
Killing a prince of the Burns Empire was nothing to Mary.

She will also personally go to the Burns Empire's lair to avenge Viva Frank.

Even though she was a sister she disliked, Mary just wanted to do what she wanted.

"While enjoying the glory of being a princess, you must also be prepared to sacrifice your life for the empire at any time. This is the reality. The Frank family never keeps idle people."

Another elder spoke.

Mary was a little distracted; she had had enough of these teachings.

She looked at Auguras, who was also distracted.

"Augus, I heard that your confidant Li En seemed to have died in a naval battle. Congratulations! If you hadn't been so obsessed with the Azure Dragon Whip, Grand Duke Moria, Li En, Earl Hall, and Dorothy wouldn't have died. Oh, the death of Dorothy and Earl Hall might be a good thing for you, because you could never hold your head up in front of Dorothy. You were always rejected by her. Now that she's dead, you'll be free from humiliation."

Mary sneered.

"Shut up, Mary, they're not dead."

Augustus frowned slightly. He really didn't want to see his fellow sister at all.

Even though Mary temporarily solved the crisis in the East for him, she created a bigger crisis.

"Oh, you're praying, right? Praying they don't die, or else the Azure Dragon army, angered by you, will march straight into the Holy Empire. And you, as the empire's decision-maker, have committed such a grave sin. Isn't it time to move your ass over and give up the throne?"

Mary picked up the tea on the table and took a sip slowly.

"Even if I give up my position, do you think you can become queen? Mary, your hands are stained with too much blood. The people of the empire will not accept an executioner with bloody hands to ascend the throne of the emperor, and the Frank family has no shortage of young people." Augustus responded sharply, trying to break Mary's fantasy of becoming an empress.

Mary smiled disapprovingly and said, "As long as you are willing to give up something that doesn't belong to you, you don't need to worry about anything else. I will take care of it naturally."

"Enough! Mary! Augustus's decision is the decision of the entire Frank family. He represents not only the emperor, but also the will of the Frank family. As Augustus's sister, you should work wholeheartedly for the Frank family instead of always thinking about his position."

The youngest elder of the family spoke, took out a blood core and handed it to Mary.
"The family already knows that your divinity cannot be restored, but there are ways to further improve it. This blood core was sent back by Jessica. Many nobles in the Northern Continent have used it to gain power."

"What do you mean?"

Mary narrowed her eyes and looked at the crystal clear blood core in the elder's hand.

"By transforming into a vampire, you can become a seven-star blood knight. By consuming blood cores, you will continue to grow stronger. Your journey as a knight will not be interrupted, but the price is that you must obey the arrangements of your family."

The elder said.

"Have I not always obeyed the family's arrangements? If the family asked me to go to the south, I would stay in the south. If the family asked me to go to Donglin, I would stay in Donglin. How much more obedient can I be for the family to feel at ease?"

Mary longs for power, but she is hesitant about becoming a vampire.

Because vampires cannot reproduce offspring, Mary is not sure whether she will need offspring to stabilize her rule in the future. If she seizes the throne, will the next generation still have to give it to Augustus' children?
"You have a restless heart. Only by keeping this heart within the family can everyone feel at ease."

The elder looked at Mary, his cloudy eyes making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

"What if I say no?"

"That's your right. You can choose. But you won't have a second chance. You're not the only young person in the Frank family who wants to become stronger."

"It seems that you don't intend to give me time to think about it. You hope that I will give you my heart now."

Mary's pretty brows wrinkled slightly.

"Yes, this is a good thing for you. The heart is stored somewhere unknown to anyone. Once you become a vampire, you will become immortal. This is a temptation for everyone. If you don't want to, many people will flock to you. The family can train you, or they can train someone like you. For the Frank family, family interests always come before personal interests."

The elder said with a smile.

Mary looked at the crystal clear blood core and fell into deep thought.

……

Time flies and another week has passed.

Dorothy finally killed the dragon of life, Maykr.

To be precise, he used a special method to imprison it forever in his own fairy tale world, replacing the original sleeping dragon.

Dorothy's fairy tale world has become stronger and, of course, more likely to get out of control.

Once released from the domain, the imprisoned Mek will indiscriminately attack everyone in the domain and release hatred.

The evil dragon Achilles was indeed impossible to kill. After a hard battle, he was finally defeated by Alexander. Li En took him into the gift [Canvas] and he turned into a giant dragon in the [Canvas].

The price is that Li En will not be able to use [Canvas] for a short period of time because Achilles will be released.

Achilles still has some will left. Once released, he will definitely do everything he can to destroy Li En.

Alexander evolved in this battle because she ate Achilles' three dragons, the Frost Dragon, the Venom Dragon, and the Thunder Dragon, giving Alexander the new abilities of Frost, Venom, and Thunder respectively.

The iron dragon fell, its body was so hard that even Alexander couldn't chew it, it was a real lump of iron.

Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall successfully advanced from seven-star order knights to eight-star war knights.

The destructive power that the Dragon War brought to the world was no less than that of the World War, so both of them were promoted.

Although the human coalition seemed to have won, it also paid a heavy price.

Calvin and a series of knights died in the battle, leaving only Grand Duke Moria, Earl Hall, Li En, Dorothy, Emma, ​​Nina Owen and Alexander alive.

Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall are both half dead, Dorothy is on the verge of losing control, and Emma and Nina Owen have suffered varying degrees of mental pollution.

And Li En also lost a life.

Fortunately, Li En returned in time, solved Dorothy's out-of-control problem, cured Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall with healing magic, helped Emma and Nina Owen clear the negative entries, and stabilized the main team.

But those who have died cannot be resurrected, after all, Li En does not have the Hand of God.

Even if one possesses the Hand of God, there is no extra divinity to squander.

Finally, Li En asked Soraya to cooperate in a play and create a large illusion.

Although the polar night at the glacier base had disappeared, the mighty dragon army gathered in the sky, in circles, like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

The people at the base were still moved to tears by the dawn, believing that humanity had finally won.

But now, Tina and the sailors only felt deep despair.

If Earl Hall and his men had not arrived in time, Tina suspected that all the strongest humans had died in the sea.

"All troops retreat! We can't defeat them."

This was the last order issued by Grand Duke Moria.

All the navy and knights in the naval base evacuated urgently through the portal.

Dorothy even closed the portal.

The human army was defeated.

In fact, Li En has allowed Eunice to regain control of the Azure Dragon Court.

However, it will take a long time to rebuild the Blue Dragon Court from the ruins of war.

Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall were both aware of this matter. They even knew that Li En had obtained the [Blue Dragon Whip], but they would never tell this to anyone else, especially Auglas.

Through this war, the Moria family and the Hall family have been linked together by fate.

The two old men unanimously requested that Dorothy and Li En get engaged as soon as possible. If they could fast-forward to marriage, that would be even better...
