Although they only have the strength of Sequence 5, they can always coordinate and resonate with their comrades. Once the battle begins, the nearby guards are also elite, and each of them is as strong as Sequence 3-4, which makes these witches very wary.
Although they were quite powerful, the strongest of them was only at Sequence 6, and they were simply unable to cross such a line of defense and meet the general leading the army.
Seeing this scene, a witch took two deep breaths, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and then slowly spoke.
"The reason we requested to see the general is not out of selfish motives, but because we saw a sudden change in fate, so we had to come out and warn him."
"I'm sorry, I'm just a rough man who wields swords and fights. I don't understand your profound things. Unless the general gives the order, I will not let you pass." The knights still shook their heads and no longer responded.
"Really..." The youngest witch wanted to curse, but was stopped by her companions behind her, so she suppressed her voice.
"Okay, let them in."
Finally, a dull sound came from the giant tent behind, causing the knights outside to bow their heads respectfully.
"Yes, sir." Then they separated into two sides and made way for the other guards.
When the witches walked into the tent, they could still smell the lingering aroma of roasted lamb in the air, and there were also scattered charcoal fires on the ground.
The scene before them naturally made them understand what had just happened, but they dared not speak out and could only look silently at the general sitting at the top.
Basel was so strong and tall compared to ordinary people that these people had to tilt their heads back to see his face clearly.
"Tell me." He spread his legs, put one hand on the armor on his knee, and kneaded the soft cloth he used to wipe his hands with the other.
"We are witches from the Death Oriole Territory in the northern part of the empire. Recently, at a witch gathering, everyone discovered that the stars and destiny were distorted, so we sent out various teams to search for the cause and the answer."
"And then, I discovered that the General was deeply involved, so I came here specifically to warn him."
"Oh, then what do you want?" Basel seemed to see through this roundabout way of making people guess and write letters, and was quite disdainful of it.
"Although we have noticed something different, we are not sure exactly where the problem lies. Therefore, we kindly ask that you allow us to accompany the army. We will also provide you with intelligence assistance."
As witches of the North, they are good at many things, such as using crows or owls for reconnaissance, using ghosts to track and assassinate, and finally even summoning undead corpses on the battlefield to help in battle. These killing techniques passed down from the Mercury Dynasty are still useful.
"Although you have the Treyi family's recommendation and your identities are not suspicious, this is only a superficial statement. I am the commander-in-chief of the army and must consider and be responsible for the entire legion. Trusting the advice of outsiders will cause internal conflict and division. This kind of failure has occurred countless times in history, and I am quite familiar with it."
"Who can guarantee that the letter of recommendation in your hands is genuine? I don't have time to verify it with the Treyi family right now, so please go back. Also, don't disturb my men; they are only carrying out my orders."
Although Basel was ruthless and furious in battle, he was not difficult to get along with on a daily basis. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach his current position and have so many soldiers willing to follow him.
Good anger should be used at critical moments. Venting it out casually on ordinary days will only waste its value.
After hearing this reply, the witches remained silent, as if thinking about how to continue persuading the general.
It is true that they received orders from the witches' coven, but why they were so reckless, there are naturally other factors. That is, that special 'adult' has now awakened, and this matter was carried out under the instruction of that 'adult'. This has extraordinary significance for the witches.
"Since Your Excellency is so distrustful, we have no choice but to display our special strength." One of the older witches slowly walked out from behind, raised her head, revealing her pale chin and face underneath.
"Oh." Bazel looked at it.
"My lord, you are not married yet, right?" the witch said.
"Yes, do you want to be a matchmaker?" The general smiled and seemed to be unimpressed.
"No, I am only revealing the person who is most likely to marry you."
Bazel smiled but didn't say anything, as if he didn't believe it. The witch continued to speak, with a faint white smoke appearing in her eyes, giving a strange and psychedelic feeling.
"You are actually already aware of her existence. You met one winter, when you were between 13 and 15 years old." The witch began to speak slowly, and at this time Bazel stopped smiling and had a blank expression on his face.
“At that time, the girl’s status was higher than yours, but her body didn’t seem to be healthy…”
"That's enough, stop talking." Basel shouted coldly, which was unusual for him.
"I'm sorry, we have offended you. Please forgive me, General." The witch bowed her head.
"From now on, you will follow the rear of the army. As for food, clothing, and daily life, you will have to find a way to solve it yourself." After saying this, the general waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take their people away.
In this way, a few inconspicuous people followed behind this team that was gradually growing stronger and constantly gathering reinforcements from the central provinces.
In the following days, they repeatedly requested to see the general, and slowly, they released various crows and birds into the night sky to help the army scout the roads along the way and gather intelligence. In this way, they gradually revealed their various roles and slowly gained the trust of the general.
