Chapter 614 (1/2)
When they returned to the castle, Roland turned towards Agatha and asked, ”Have you recalled anything?”
”Most likely, the God's Punishment Army was only successfully researched after Taquila fell co her head ”But it's definitely not as simple as what the church priest said At least, it doesn't explain how a newly-crowned pope is able to take over control of the God's Punishment Army from the previous pope”
”Also, it's very odd that a runaway God's Punishment Aratha continued after a brief pause, ”The Barbarian Land that you people speak of should be the Fertile Plains of 400 years ago There's nothing there apart from the ruins of the holy city And it's too far-fetched to say that they were enticed by the demons”
”Who knows” Roland casually commented ”You've also seen that their blood is blue in color They can't be considered the sahly interested in what exactly attracted the God's Punishment Army What he most wanted to know at present was their Achilles' heel, and how to effectively guard against an assault on his lines As could be seen fro, the lack of fortifications”If they're truly vulnerable to noise,this” The ancient witch rejected his idea ”There are a lot of risks that way”
”Indeed, it's quite risky to sneak close to their co about Echo” Agatha interrupted his words ”I' about you”
”Me?” Roland was surprised
”If Echo is to sneak up to the coale's Mist When so, you would be left without protection The church would only need to send forth a pure witch with special abilities to claih you're a normal person who's weak and powerless, we can't do without you at present if we're to defeat the de to do We can't take any kind of risk with that”
”I really can't tell if you're praising or insulting hed bitterly ”When that time comes, I'll put on the God's Stone of Retaliation”
”The God's Stone of Retaliation is only a atha stated bluntly ”Even Nightingale isn't completely failsafe, but we don't have a better way”
”As long as I'htingale could not restrain herself froure It was apparent that she did not take kindly to Agatha's words
”I hope so” The ancient witch did not dispute this point further She turned to leave the study but stopped when she reached the door
”What's the atha remained silent for a while before she replied, ”I don't knohether to talk about these things Her immense power aside, the reason why Lady Alice was able to become Queen of Starfall City and also the Head of the Three Chairs was that her intelligence and methods were superior to most witches On a few occasions, her decisions saved the Union froe of collapse Without her, Taquila wouldn't have survived until then Many people believed that if she was born before the first Battle of Divine Will, she would have ended this hopeless war early on”
”What're you trying to say?”
She turned her head back and frowned slightly ”What I mean is, the powerful warriors in who the witches shouldn't have turned out this way”
”You feel that the present God's Punisho?” Roland asked in surprise
”The God's Punishic power, never panic, and are extree over the demons But they won't be able to make the decisive difference Furthero, and don't have the ability to perfor-distance attacks I feel that Lady Alice shouldn't place high hopes on this kind of warriors” Agatha sighed ”Of course, these are just my predictions Only the church knohat exactly happened to the Union after Taquila fell”
A long time after she left the rooatha's words were indeed reasonable Was it really possible that the God's Punishment Army project, which required the Queen of Starfall City to pay such a huge price to carry out, was only intended to produce an expensive yet cu machine?
