Chapter 1291: 1291
Roland met Wendy and Tilly in the parlor .
He briefly related the situation at the front and said, "This is pretty much it . We probably can't wait anymore . "
"The First Army needs the witches' help," Wendy said darkly . "I'll let everyone know . They've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I believe that they're now ready . "
"Finally," Tilly said while twitching her lips . "I still have a few chapters to go for the Flight Manual . I've been longing to fight a real battle at the front . Also, where's my fighter? You gave me your word, brother . "
Roland did not tacitly switched the subject as usual because his voice suddenly abandoned him .
"Your Majesty?" Wendy, who noticed something wrong, asked . "Are you OK?"
Roland managed to calm himself down and nodded slowly . He said, "You know that the Bloody Moon has appeared . This is the final battle of the human race, but no one knows how long this battle will last . Perhaps, it's going to be a year or even 10 years . You probably won't come back until the battle ends . If . . . "
He could not continue anymore .
Nobody could foresee the result of the Battle of Divine Will . Last time, Ashes had sacrificed herself on the Fertile Plains . This time, how many people would survive? Many witches were only in their 20s . They should have enjoyed their university life in the other world . However, they had to fight for their fate here .
This war concerned the entire human race, so everyone must do their best to win . Witches, being also human, were indeed no different than ordinary people . Roland knew that perfectly well, but he had already established an attachment to these girls . He had been living with them for years since the Witch Union had been founded . It was thus hard for him to issue the order because once they were off for the battle, it was probably the last time he would see them .
"If somebody else sees you act like this, they'll laugh about you," Tilly said, grinning . "You still haven't got used to being a king after so many years? Well . . . I actually like the way you are now . "
"Excuse me, Your Majesty," Wendy said while rising to her feet . Before Roland could realize it, she had approached him and given him a hug .
"Do you feel better now?" Wendy said gently, "We all know what you've done for us . Even if you don't say a word, everyone will be willing to come forward and protect you . You taught us to fight for things we want . Winning the Battle of Divine Will is essentially the same as protecting the Holy Mountain . I trust that the other witches all agree on that . "
The warmth soothed Roland a great deal . Wendy was right . Everyone knew that this day would eventually come . There was no point in hesitating now . Since all the witches were here to fight, they had made up their mind a long time ago . If he said something like "I don't want you to go to war" or "you can stay behind if you want", that would sound pretty lame .
The only thing they needed to do is to try their best .
"Thank you . "
Wendy smiled and returned to her seat .
"Well then," Roland said after taking a deep breath and stared at the two people . "The Witch Union and the Aerial Knights, prepare for the war . "
"As you command, Your Majesty . "
"Leave it to me, brother . "
. . .
The news that the witches would go to war in the Kingdom of Wolfheart was immediately spread throughout the whole Castle District . Within half an hour, Lightning had packed up . Her luggage included a backpack that contained ammunition and sigils, a waist bag full of spices and salt, as well as Maggie perched on her head .
As usual, they were normally the first ones to set off . They would be the scouts and guides for the army coming after . However, this time, when Lightning went to bid farewell to Wendy, Wendy stopped her .
"You don't have to be in such a rush," Wendy said as she took over Maggie . "In fact, someone told me that he wanted to see you before you go . "
"Me?" A little surprised, Lightning asked, "Who's that? Auntie Margaret?"
"Well . . . " Wendy hesitated while covering her mouth . "You'll see . By the way, he's waiting for you in the yard . "
"He's already here?" Lightning said while shrugging . "Alright . "
"Coo — coo!" Maggie followed but Wendy held her back . She thus watched Lightning disappear from the doorstep .
