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

Chapter 82: The Southern Army Surrounded by Luck (asking for monthly tickets)
Li En has been having a great time lately.

Not only did the war develop exactly as he had expected, but other things also went very smoothly.

For example, he happened to see the tree monster cubs escaping, which even the reconnaissance team could not find.

For example, he got the news from Sally that a black market merchant was about to hold a black market auction in Green Shade Territory, where rare succubi would appear.

For example, when he was practicing Itto-ryu in the woods, the ground suddenly collapsed and a cave appeared. In the cave was a treasure left by someone unknown. Although the treasure was not a big one, it was enough for two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which suddenly gave him the confidence to go to the black market to buy a succubus.

Things like this happened too frequently, giving Li En the illusion that his luck had completely turned around and he was blessed by good fortune.

What's even more bizarre is that Li En discovered that, besides himself, everyone around him also became lucky.

Sophie accidentally picked up a wounded bird. The bird, which was originally dying, miraculously recovered beside her and always stayed around her, becoming her new pet.

Robson became the fiancé of the goblin noble lady Aisha, and Aisha generously allowed her other sisters to marry him as well, so that he could enjoy the happiness of having many wives.

Cobb found a vein of fine iron ore while leading his men on patrol.

Simo received the good news that the bishop would stay in the imperial capital for another month.

Sally noticed that Seamus was getting stronger every night lately.

Good things also happened to the guards to a greater or lesser extent.

The entire Southern Army seemed to be blessed by the gods and everything went smoothly.

If a person's luck can be described as the son of fortune, then what about the luck of the entire army?
This is so weird.

Excluding the possibility of a super lucky kid appearing in the team, the only possibility is that they were affected by external objects.

Could it be that Old Deng was using the Eye of the Future again? He had chosen to sacrifice a certain mistress to set the Southern Army in the most advantageous direction?
Li En felt vaguely uneasy, but quickly ruled out this possibility.

Since Old Moria has chosen me to be the new lord of Green Shade Territory, he will definitely not use the Eye of the Future to interfere with my choice. Isn't he afraid that this choice will lead to a different future for Green Shade Territory?

In theory, Old Moria would not continue to interfere in the military affairs of the Green Shade Territory.

Besides, he is busy searching for the witch in the tower and has no time to care about the war in the Bone Forest.

Li En believes that the gift of fate always comes at a price, and this is an abnormal gift.

The good fortune of the Southern Army during this period must have been due to external influences.

Could it be the effect of some gift?
According to the existing information, there seems to be no gift that can bring people unlimited good luck.

Li En couldn't figure it out, so he gathered Captain Cobb, many team leaders, priests and nuns who were having a martial arts party into the tent to think about it together.

"Lord Li En, are you overthinking it? Our plan was flawless. Isn't it normal for things to develop according to the plan?"

Jerry, the squad leader of the Southern Army, did not think there was anything wrong with his recent good luck; he considered himself a lucky man.

"There have been rumors of treasures lurking in the Bone Forest for a long time, but we haven't been able to explore deep enough to find them."

Cobb added.

"This can only mean that the Tiger God is blessing us."

Robson said excitedly, "The most important thing is to favor you, because you are destined to become a legend."

Everyone looked at Robson silently. The young man had made a wig out of horse mane to cover the bald spot on his head.

Robson performed outstandingly in the Battle of the Bone Forest and has been promoted from an elite guard to an officer. He is now a squad leader and is qualified to enter the military tent to hold meetings.

But Cobb still felt a little uncomfortable with his blind worship of Lee En every time he saw him.

I always feel that this guy got to his position by flattering and selling his ass.

The other team captains also had some complaints about Robson. Although they also admired Li En very much, Robson's recent good luck was really enviable.

"Father, do you think it's okay?" Li En looked at Simo.

"This does sound a bit strange, but I've never heard of any gift from the Empire that can increase everyone's luck in a short period of time."

Seamus looked at Sally.

Succubus Sally seemed to have thought of something, "I heard an ancient legend when I was a child."

Li En's eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that his decision to call a meeting to discuss the matter was correct.

Sometimes a person's knowledge is limited, so he needs to rely on the perspective of others.

"The corpse monsters in the Bone Forest were once part of a human army. They fled during the war and hid in the Bone Forest. Then, they greedily began digging for treasures, slaughtering its animals, and arbitrarily cutting down trees, destroying the environment. They eventually angered the forest spirit."

Sally said seriously.

Li En and many captains felt their Adam's apples roll and swallowed at the same time.

Digging for treasure, killing animals, and cutting down trees, aren't they talking about them?

Li En dug for treasure, Sophie killed the tree monster, and the army cut down trees and mined.

It seems that they all correspond.

Sally continued, "To punish them, the forest spirits spliced ​​their bodies with those of animals, turning them into monsters. They were trapped in the Bone Forest forever, suffering endless torture."

"You mean the forest spirit came to us?"

Li En rubbed his eyebrows.

Sally looked at Li En seriously, "Please don't interrupt me."

"Go on."

Li En spread his hands and motioned Sally to continue.

Sally cleared her throat. "Because the corpse monster is a monster cursed by the forest spirit, killing it will receive the forest spirit's blessing. Perhaps our good luck recently comes from the forest spirit's blessing."

"bless?"

Seamus stroked his chin. "From what you said, it's a good thing."

Sally nodded. "That's the only explanation I can think of."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, believing Sister Sally's words without a doubt, and thinking that all their good luck came from the fact that they had killed so many zombies and gained the recognition of the forest spirit.

Li En and Ximo frowned at the same time.

They looked at each other, as if they could see through each other's thoughts.

"Father Seamus, what have you come up with?"

"There are many legends circulating in the Bone Forest. Some say that killing a tree monster will curse you and turn you into a tree monster, while others say that killing a corpse monster will bring you blessings and good luck. The only thing these legends have in common is that they prove the existence of the forest spirit."

Father Simo said, "If there really is a forest spirit in the Bone Forest, then her status should be below that of a false god, on par with an angel."

"If an angel wants to continue to gain power, she must ensure that the number of her believers remains balanced."

"Whether it's the tree monsters in the north or the corpse monsters in the west, they've all lived in the Bone Forest for a long time. In theory, they're all believers in the forest spirit."

Simo analyzed the situation from a theological perspective and came to the conclusion that was closest to the truth.

He looked at Li En and suddenly asked,
"What would you do if your followers suddenly dropped by half?"
