The war in the Western Continent was in full swing. After the Southern Empire sent troops north, the Eastern Empire also began to take action. Although the two sides had never had formal contact, they had a tacit understanding at this point.

Large-scale battles broke out on the front line of confrontation, and the Western Empire, having withdrawn a lot of troops, currently tends to adopt a conservative defense to block the enemy's attack.

Gaodan Plains, Typhon Fortress.

This ancient fortress is located on the front line of the war between the Eastern and Western Empires. It has now been renovated and is no longer in its former semi-abandoned state. Several satellite guard towers have been added around it to increase its defense capabilities.

At night, two figures with special temperaments stood on the high tower in the fortress and looked down. One of them wore a dark blue dress, with black hair hanging down to her waist and eyes like lapis lazuli. The other wore light gray armor, with golden hair and eyes.

Anyone familiar with the witches alive today could easily guess that the black-haired woman in the dark blue dress was Yin Bei'er, the witch of the 'Beast of Violence'. Meanwhile, standing next to her was Gabriella, the 'Witch of Dancing Weapons'.

"So, Si Ye asked us to assist Fang Huasilin and increase the strength of the Western Empire, right?" The woman with lapis lazuli eyes leaned over the fence of the high tower, feeling the cool night breeze brushing across her forehead.

"Yes, because the Western Territory is the only suitable place right now." Gabriella moved her body slightly, and the armor on her body made a crisp metal collision sound, like wind chimes and music.

"As you know, the Eastern Empire is very close to the elves due to blood ties and historical reasons. Aihekatri, who represents the elves, has already stated that she will not interfere in the fight with the Star Witch."

"So, it's easy to imagine that the elves will also maintain a certain neutrality and will not obey our orders."

"The North is Gejialaide's territory. I don't like her very much, so I won't go there." Gabriella has never been fond of the gloomy witch, and they rarely interact with each other even though they are from the same faction.

"Ah... I suddenly have no motivation." Yin Bei'er leaned against the railing, complaining lazily in her slightly mature voice.

"Why are you saying this suddenly?" Gabriella turned around.

"Because I lost face and was beaten up by my younger juniors, I don't want to see anyone." Yin Bei'er was still looking at the scenery below and didn't want to turn around and talk to Gabriella.

"Originally, I just wanted to go back to sleep, but you guys said you wanted to play again. I finally rushed over, but found that none of you seemed to care much. I felt like a fool before." Yin Beier said that she didn't want to play with these crappy teammates anymore.

"Anyway, it's not bad to let that Star Witch be the empire's chief steward. I think Si Ye is getting tired of sitting in that position. He's not as lively and cute as before."

"Ahem, how can you be so lazy?" Gabriella put her hand on the black-haired witch's shoulder and forced her to turn around.

"If our group of witches gives up so easily, what will others think of us? We had to work so hard to defeat Dorothy and the others to build up our cohesion."

"But it's no use for you to be anxious now, Gabriella. Look at Kornos, she has always been so willful and playful. Aihekatri is of half-elf descent, different from us. And Gejialaid is so gloomy, and she speaks mysteriously every day. I haven't been able to stand it for hundreds of years." Since being defeated by Loran Hill, Yin Bei'er has felt reluctant to see anyone, and she doesn't want to leave for this faction call.

"Yin Bei'er~" Gabriella loudly said the name of the witch in front of her. Fortunately, there was a soundproof barrier on the top of the tower where the two of them were, otherwise they would have been heard by the soldiers below.

"Yes, yes, I'm listening."

"You used to be so proud and powerful, but now you're like a chicken hiding in the bushes, without any courage or ambition."

"Yes, I used to be very proud and powerful. I thought so too, but it's too embarrassing. I don't want to see you all again." Yin Bei'er turned her face away.

Because of her long lifespan, the opinions of mortals wouldn't cause any disturbance in the witch's mind. However, it was different for her fellow witches who also had long lifespans. Thinking that they would remember this for thousands of years, and would probably still talk about it for hundreds of years to come, Yin Bei'er suddenly felt sick.

The more proud you are, the more you cannot tolerate it. But the incident has already happened. If you go back and make a fuss, you will probably be looked down upon a second time. So...

"So, I don't really want to show up. Gabriella, please let me go." Yin Bei'er said unhappily.

"You!" Seeing this familiar witch friend turned into this state, Gabriella had the urge to be angry at her, but in the end she was helpless and could only let go of the witch in the black and blue dress.

The relationships between witches also vary in closeness. Gabriella and Yin Bei'er became witches in the same era, so their relationship must be much closer, which is why they can talk so freely.

"Hmph, you actually backed down like that." Gabriella was still humming, dissatisfied with her companion's performance.

"Then how about this? Help the Griffin Family breed more griffins. I've seen that they have the griffin's air superiority, which will be of great help in war."

"You don't need to contact the Duke of Griffin. Just help him secretly. This shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Well..." Yin Bei'er originally wanted to raise her hand to refuse, but looking at Gabriella's burning gaze, and considering that they were currently very close, she would definitely be at a disadvantage if she fought with her, so she changed her mind in an instant.
