What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

"I've said all I can say, and I really don't know anything else."

Seeing the old fox in front of him pretending to be stupid and keeping his mouth shut, Councilor Su was not annoyed at all.

He maneuvered his cannon to destroy the enemy's vehicle, and jokingly said, "Everyone says that the witch is cunning and scheming, but in my opinion, you old fellow are the real masterminds."

"Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass, luring the enemy into the urn, using a plan against a plan... You have mastered these strategies to perfection. On the surface, you seem to be restrained by the government and passively mobilized troops, but in reality, you have already calculated everything and made up your mind to turn the tables on the witch."

"While all the witches were focused on the magical girls of Tianhua Kingdom and launching a full-scale invasion, you had already secretly contacted various countries and placed magical girls from other countries in major cities in advance."

"Once all the witches enter the country and wreak havoc, we can close the door and trap them like turtles in a jar!"

"However, your plan was brilliant." Councilor Su picked up a chess piece and slowly placed it down, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "In the end, I have won the game of checkmate!"

At this moment on the chessboard, Lin Guohui's veteran general has nowhere to advance or retreat.

With a chariot guarding the lower lane, a cannon blocking the middle lane, and the left lane being restrained by flying pieces, the only way to escape is on the right lane. It's a dead end with no chance of turning the game around.

Faced with an unsolvable predicament, Lin Guohui picked up his tea, took a sip, picked up a chess piece, and smiled calmly: "Is that so? I have clearly checkmated you."

"???"

Representative Su's eyes widened, and his mouth twitched violently: "You...you took my soldiers and checkmated me?!"

"What era are we living in? We're all about information-based warfare now," Lin Guohui said calmly. "You, sergeant, are a spy I planted."

Have you no shame?

"I only care about the results, I'll stop at nothing to achieve them, and I'm determined to win!"

"Stop playing!"

Representative Su abruptly raised his hand, overturned the chessboard, and stormed off.

But as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to say, "I'll give you a chance to keep me here. Reveal some inside information so I can explain things to those old guys in the government."

"No, there isn't."

"Really not?"

"real."

"Okay, you're awesome!"

The refined-looking middle-aged man feigned anger and strode out. Lin Guohui calmly sipped his tea, silently counting down in his mind.

Thirty seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and a head quietly peeked out from the door frame, the tone tinged with helplessness and compromise: "I'll just reveal a little bit. To cooperate with your plan, I even disregarded the safety of my own daughter, who is the only bloodline left by my deceased wife."

"Without the greater good, how can there be peace and stability for individual families? As a member of parliament, your vision and awareness are still lacking."

“I’m just a councilor, not a cold-blooded machine!” Councilor Su said helplessly. “I’m really fed up with you, you’re becoming more and more cold-blooded.”

After saying that, he waved his sleeve again as if to leave.

"Alright, come back." Lin Guohui said with a chuckle, "Just now, the lab made a breakthrough, so I'm going to tell you all the known results so far."

"Got it!"

Just moments ago, Councilor Su was full of indignation, but now he was all smiles, quickly turned back, and sat down steadily.

……

The news caused a huge stir, and it continued to spread at an unimaginable speed.

The witch, who was hiding in the shadows of the Antarctic ice sheet, suddenly sensed the mass fall of her fellow witches. Her usually calm and composed face underwent a dramatic change at that moment.

Her expression was one of horror as she frantically manipulated the intertwined threads of fate, retracing the scenes before the invading witch's demise.

"Qin Dynasty, cherry blossoms, New South, Ancient Emperor..."

Seeing the magical girls from all over the Central Continent gathered in the territory of Tianhua Kingdom, the usually composed and calm witch Ming was on the verge of madness.

"How is this possible?!"

She was filled with disbelief, a mixture of confusion and rage churning within her.

How dare these people send their own country's magical girls to Tianhua Kingdom? Aren't they afraid of the witches hiding in the shadows? Aren't they afraid that because their defenses are weak, they will be invaded by witches and their country will perish?

Could it be that someone foresaw my entire plan...? "Who? Who could it be? How could such insignificant humans possess wisdom comparable to a witch?"

She frantically searched for clues about fate, desperately trying to uncover the mastermind behind the scheme that had turned the tables on her.

But at this moment, the entire river of fate has already become murky and blurred.

This scheme, spanning multiple countries and affecting countless lives, involves such vast and complex causes and effects that even she, who holds the reins of destiny, cannot glimpse even a fraction of the truth.

On the battlefield, Cecilia once again killed the arrogant witch with a single shot.

Sensing the chaotic and restless magical energy in the world, a smile appeared on her lips as she spoke loudly: "You lurking bug, has your carefully planned scheme gone wrong?"

"Shut up!!"

The witch was suddenly enraged, her anger breaking through the limits of her restraint.

She disregarded everything, forcibly tearing apart the rules and wielding her power in an attempt to reverse Cecilia's fate and eliminate her before a contract was signed.

"Boom!!"

A violent bolt of lightning struck down without warning from the clear blue sky!

The fierce lightning instantly tore through the void, piercing through layers of spatial barriers.

The witch, hiding in the shadows, had no chance to dodge and was struck by the divine lightning, her body exploding into pieces.

The lightning disappeared.

The witch's shattered body rapidly regenerated and healed under the nourishment of the power of fate, her voice, filled with extreme resentment and venom, resounding throughout the surroundings: "Damn it! It's that damned commandment again!"

The unknown origins of the precepts are the shackles that bind all witches.

Twelve years ago, the witch discovered this world.

They wanted to launch a large-scale invasion and conquer the area in one fell swoop.

However, precisely because of the influence of the precepts, they were completely unable to take action themselves and could only hide in the shadows to plot and create calamity beasts, allowing these creatures to descend upon the world and wreak havoc.

When the calamity beasts were no longer able to contend with the magical girls, the witches discovered that the commandments had been loosened, and thus they were given the opportunity to live in the mortal world.

However, during that period, they could only deploy combat power at the five-star level at most. It was only after many years that they gradually unlocked the seven-star level.

It was precisely because of this constraint that the witch clan spent a full twelve years, proceeding step by step, slowly and deliberately, to implement their invasion plan.

If it weren't for the constraints of the rules, this world wouldn't even have had magical girls back then. Witches could have conquered this world long ago, instead of lying low and advancing step by step.

According to her initial calculations based on fate, this meticulously planned invasion would surely cripple the Tianhua Kingdom's military strength, and the witch's subsequent plans to invade the Central Continent would proceed smoothly.

To her utter surprise, fate played a cruel joke on her.

His own scheme was foiled, resulting in a complete defeat.

Extreme anger and resentment burned wildly and rampantly in the witch's chest.

Through her gaze upon the countless witches dying and being wounded within the Tianhua Kingdom, she issued her final, ultimate command: "Retreat!"

The chilling command, transmitted through the power of fate, resounded in the ears of all the witches on the battlefield of Tianhua Kingdom.

But at this moment, all the invading witches were suffering in silence.

They were all tightly bound by magical girls of the same level, and there were more than one to deal with, making it virtually impossible for them to break free and retreat.

In the early stages of the battle, the witch, with her unique ability to create calamity beasts, was able to consistently overpower the low-level magical girls who had not yet matured.

However, once a magical girl reaches five stars, the situation will be completely reversed.

After unlocking her liberated form, the magical girl can easily take on three opponents at once, and can even hold her own against a high-ranking witch by a single star.

Sensing the situation of the witch, the witch once again used the power of destiny to transmit her voice to the ancestral land, her tone filled with extreme anxiety and urgency: "Why haven't you come to our aid yet? If all the witches perish, who knows how long it will take to nurture enough witches."

The will of Heaven is hard to defy, and the world is in a state of decline!

These eight characters represent eight top witches.

When the voice of destiny reached the ancestral land, the other seven forcefully intervened, attempting to lure away all the remaining witches.

However, due to the obstruction of the precepts, it is unknown how many witches will ultimately die in this rescue operation.

……

The witches of Central Continent gathered in Tianhua Kingdom.

Magical girls from all over the Central Continent also gathered in Tianhua Kingdom.

This is a battle destined to be recorded in history, and it will continue to be passed down as long as humanity survives, regardless of the passage of time.

Chapter 61 Ten Days Later

Good morning, everyone! This is the Hot Topic Channel. This morning, an investigation in the Yunhai region uncovered a secret stronghold of witches. Led by China, with the cooperation of New South, Great Qin, and other countries, the operation successfully captured seven witches. Only one five-star witch managed to escape, while the rest were all killed!

"Next is an international news update. Sakura, Changling, Xinnan, Daqin and many other countries, relying on the new generation of Sky Eye system developed by China, have continued to launch precise counterattacks against the hidden witches around the world. According to statistics from the past ten days, the number of witches who have died has reached 132, and the number of disaster beasts that have been eradicated is more than 1,000."

"Various countries in the Western Continent have successively introduced the new generation of Sky Eye system, and have already sent envoys to China to discuss cooperation. The era of witches' rampage is about to come to a complete end, and the people of all countries will finally return to a peaceful and stable daily life..."

Zhong Hui, with an indifferent expression, raised his hand and turned off the boring television.

Ten days have passed since the witch launched her massive invasion of China.

For the past ten days, news broadcasts on major television stations have never stopped, rolling out various good news day after day: another batch of witches have been accurately located and wiped out on the spot, the witch forces are on the verge of destruction, and the world order is about to return to normal.

The same old flattery is tiresome to listen to.

Unless he personally experienced that brutal battle, he might be misled by the media's one-sided account and believe that the witch would be completely wiped out.

The main force of witches that invaded China was surrounded by the magical girl army that rushed to its aid, and they were forced to retreat one after another.

But not long after the battle began, several strange interdimensional passages appeared out of thin air, steadily guiding all the trapped witches to safely evacuate the battlefield.

The witches that various countries are currently eliminating are either low-level soldiers with little strength and not worth mentioning, or marginal figures who have never participated in the invasion of Fangyuan City. They are all pawns deliberately abandoned by the witch camp.

While eliminating these weak remnants may appease and inspire the people, the media's claim of "completely annihilating the witch's forces" is pure nonsense.

The witches who were rescued through the interdimensional portal were the true core fighting force of the witch faction.

As long as they remain hidden in the world and have not been destroyed, this world war that has lasted for twelve years will never truly end.

It is undeniable that the witch has indeed fallen into an unprecedented predicament recently.

After the invasion of Fangyuan City ended, China immediately announced the launch of the new generation Sky Eye system and unconditionally equipped all its allies in Central Continent with it.
