"Eat something. It rained heavily today. Although you are a superhuman, you are a girl after all. If you get seriously ill, I will have a hard time explaining myself to Lady Jialan." Gu Huas persuaded the witch.
Although he snorted lightly, Pelite was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for him. He didn't mock or refuse, but just quietly finished the midnight snack in front of him.
"Lord Guhuas, please go to bed early tonight." After finishing her meal, the witch stood up.
"According to the predictions of the Wind Leaf Witches traveling with us, this rainstorm will stop in the second half of the night. There will be a brief period of clear skies tomorrow morning, which will be perfect for our journey. However, it may rain again in the afternoon."
The witches of the four seasons each have their own duties, among which the wind and leaf witches mainly focus on predicting the weather and spreading knowledge and ideas.
"I understand." Gu Huas nodded casually to show that he understood.
Seeing that the general didn't care, Pellit seemed to feel a little unhappy again. She shook her head to suppress it, and then explained the reason.
"Do you think I'm harsh, sir? It's true." She admitted her shortcomings generously.
"But now it really requires more focus and serious treatment."
"This is the first time our Fairywood family has entered a foreign land to fight in the Empire. It's completely different from the past. Soldiers only follow orders, but we have more things to consider."
"Victory is essential, but future governance is also important. This is a rare war of liberation, not the kind of wars of aggression between nobles or nations."
"We are still very new to this area, but it is a matter of great importance, so we must pay special attention."
"So I will be much harsher, please forgive me, Lord Guhuas." After saying that, she bowed deeply to the general and then slowly walked out of the tent.
Watching the young witch leave, Guhuas picked up the empty cup beside him and was about to take a sip, but looked at it again and put it down with a sigh.
"Oh, these girls are really amazing. I don't even want to drink anymore. Forget it, if it weren't for Lady Jialan, I would have died that night. I'd better bear with this little thing."
As a system completely different from the Empire, the Fairywood Organization is not only different from the Empire in structure, but also has put a lot of effort and energy into the promotion and popularization of ideas, with the military being the top priority.
Therefore, it is common to see members wearing the Fairywood badge on their chests and explaining propaganda to their companions during the march.
It is precisely because of these countless active grassroots members that the army and the people are firmly controlled by the organization, and the combat will and discipline are greatly guaranteed.
This is also the reason why senior executives of the organization, such as Loran Hill, still maintain great confidence even when the data on paper is not as good as that of the enemy.

Three days later, this westward-moving 80,000-strong army broke into the flank and rear of the western border and began fighting with the local nobleman, Earl Drich.
On the city wall, a red and gray eagle-head flag was hung, and local soldiers holding muskets kept shooting from a high position. The blue smoke accompanied by flames and sounds kept echoing in the valley.
Below the city wall, the Fairywood soldiers, carrying new rifles on their shoulders, crawled forward, using the trees in the valley to dodge and advance, gradually approaching the castle.
"Damn, those trees blocked the shooting." The noble officer on the city wall was shocked and angry as he looked at the Fairywood soldiers approaching below.
"Burn them!" a bearded nobleman ordered angrily.
Then the few wizards in the castle began to cast spells, and flaming meteors began to gather, then streaked across the sky, leaving long tails of flames and smashing into the densely wooded valley.
"rise!"
Seeing the long-accumulated fireball falling, the witches on the Fairywood side who had been well prepared also cast spells to deal with it.
A thick gas shield rose up and spun at high speed, tearing the falling fire meteors into pieces, turning them into strands of fire, and flinging them to the distant surroundings. Even if they fell, they could only cause a small fire instead of suffocating the sweeping flames.
Amidst the scattered waves of fire and burnt smoke, soldiers quickly approached the corner of the wall. Then a violent explosion sounded, and a gap appeared in the collapsed city wall.
The charge horn sounded in the mountains and forests, followed by a roar, and many soldiers began to run wildly across the valley and poured into the exploded gap.
No matter how frantically the defenders on the wall fired, they couldn't stop the tide of attack. Fierce street fighting soon broke out inside the castle. Smoke and gunfire emanated from the towers and firing holes, and a clamor began to spread throughout the castle.
Not long after.
"Hah--" Gu Huas swung the giant axe, and a fierce cut was instantly drawn, breaking the shooting tower in front of him. The broken bricks and stones collapsed everywhere, and countless enemy soldiers fled with wailing.
With this unrivaled general charging ahead, all kinds of sturdy fortresses were easily destroyed like mud and sand, and the various strongholds in the castle were captured at an extremely fast speed.
"Walk!"
Seeing that he could not hold on any longer, Earl Drich, along with his two sons and guards, rode on the few remaining griffins and flew into the sky, preparing to escape from the fallen castle.
"You can't escape."
A cold voice sounded from below behind him, and then Earl Drich felt his body stiffen, and he fell from the sky with the griffin. The ground that kept expanding in his vision, the gray bricks and ruins, made him scream in terror.
"No--"
He was about to be smashed into a pile of meat paste, but as a witch in a white robe reached out her hand, the compressed air cushion instantly rose up, cushioning the impact. The earl did not die on the spot, but suffered fractures all over his body and was in great pain.
