Chapter 976 (2/2)
”Of course, she—”Ashes stopped half way
”Does Tilly wantdeht no since this was her own decision If it was the previous ht have the reason to take it on Tilly's behalf, but this time she still accepted Roland's invitation and joined the sniper teah Tilly did not participate in the war
There was no doubt that she did it partly to grow Sleeping Spell's reputation since as the irew, Tilly's role at court would be more vital
But was this the only reason?
Ashes could not help looking at the witches ere asleep The tiredness was still in their faces but they looked so quiet and peaceful Ashes' eyes ie, to the other witches of the Sleeping Island and eventually to the rest of her companions
Suddenly, Ashes asked, ”Why are you telling me this?”
In any case, she was only an acquaintance to Phyllis They had occasionally exchanged their experience of swordplay and fighting skill and were far from close friends However Phyllis shared with her a topic on temperament and the Taquila survivors' aht that Phyllis was not the type of person to talk about these things with every person she met
”Because you're an Extraordinary,” Phyllis said in a griinable potential In the era of the Union, every combat-type Extraordinary was trained with the ut as they could push the limits of their potential and beco a Senior Deain the most popularity and they would be elected as the new leader of the Union”
With that, Phyllis arose and saluted Ashes ”Perhaps I have no right to teach an Extraordinary how to i a leader” As far as I know, all the Transcendents in the Union were born in battle, and those Extraordinaries who couldn't successfully become Transcendents were all eventually killed by the demons,” she paused ”I hope you won't meet that fate, Extraordinary Ashes”
The God Punishment Witch even addressed Ashes by an honorific title in the last sentence
”You don't need to” Ashes frowned
”Just take it as an old fool who hasn't seen a Transcendent for over 400 years” Phyllis laughed ”Don't worry, I won't salute you this way It's tih, I'll see you in 2 hours”
”Yeah, good night”
When the cave returned to silence, Ashes looked up, staring at the sky through the crack of the cave ceiling for a long time
After Roland hung up the phone called from the frontline, he marked out a new route on the map
It was the 22nd day since Operation Su s the forest, diverting the First Army further and further off the main route It seemed that the demons attached more importance to the Taquila ruins and so left a massive blind spot south of their outpost
Of course, the de, no enemies could remain unspotted before they approached and launched an attack
However the First Army didn't need to close the distance
The artillery battalion had a co Cannons that enabled them to launch precise and fatal attack 10 kilometers away
