Chapter 372: Apocalypse Battle Group
"Ah, this, no way, you guys have guarded this seal for so many years, and you don't have any backup means?"
Looking at the silent Angel couple in front of her, Dorothy was a bit stunned. She didn't know what to say for a while.
Should it be said that these Angel Witches are really big-hearted? Living next to a humanoid nuclear warhead every day, and they don't take any precautions. This is really not taking their own lives seriously.
"Actually, there is, but...."
Rosalind was also a bit embarrassed at this time. She couldn't help but glare at her daughter beside her.
No way, the race has been short of funds for these years, so naturally, it is necessary to open source and reduce expenditure, and one of the expenditure reductions...
Hmm, actually, the Protection Array and the Seal Strengthening Technique against the Lord of Radiance have shared a magic pool as energy for these years, and now the magic pool has been exhausted by her own debt-ridden daughter...
But who could have thought of this? The Protection Array has not been activated since it was established until today, and that Seal Strengthening Technique is also the same. These two great arrays have not been used for ten thousand years, but they are very expensive to maintain. So when thinking about reducing expenditure, it naturally makes people think of saving these two.
And they didn't completely reduce expenditure, right? It's just that they saved two huge sums of money into one. Theoretically, as long as these two arrays are not activated at the same time, there will be no big problem.
But now.....
The magic pool required for a forbidden-level array is very large. After using it once, it takes at least a month to refill it at the fastest, but now there is less than a week left.
Tsk, this fate is playing with people.
The Dean felt very speechless in her heart, and then even more powerless.
Sigh, their race has risen since the God King, and has been passed down for more than ten thousand years. It is the oldest race in the Witch World, and now is the family going to become history in her hands? Then she has no face to see the ancestors after going to the Netherworld...
Oh, wait, it seems that there are not many ancestors who went to the Netherworld, most of them are actually still alive.
Recalling those ancestors who retired and didn't know where they were wandering in the world after they retired, Rosalind only felt a toothache.
It seems this is even worse. After all, dead ancestors won't climb up to beat you, but living ones will really come over to beat you after hearing the news.
However, thinking that she is actually just an acting patriarch, and the real patriarch is her Sage mother, the Dean breathed a sigh of relief again. She can at most be considered a prince of a fallen country, not a monarch of a fallen country.
"The situation is like this...."
Although she was embarrassed to the point of pain in her heart, Rosalind still explained.
This wave is really not that they have no preparation. This can at most be said to be that the preparation is not sufficient due to the decline of the family.
Dorothy: "......"
Youfilia: "......."
The mother and daughter listened to this explanation, and then shook their heads one after another.
You might as well not explain. Who would save the life-saving things when reducing expenditure? The person who gave this order is either stupid or bad.
But thinking about it, it's so poor that even life-saving means are cut corners. How bad is the situation in your clan?
"Actually, we still have backup plans."
Probably noticing the contemptuous eyes of the two, Rosalind, after being self-closed and angry for a while, tried to save face.
"What plan."
"God King's Son."
The Dean turned her head, feeling ashamed of herself, and said.
She looked at the Holy Sword Avalon on the seal altar, and then added.
"This sword of the God King is itself a super magic pool. As long as someone can pull out this Holy Sword, then guiding the magic power on the Holy Sword can also repair and strengthen the seal."
"Oh, so that's it."
Dorothy hammered her palm, looking like she suddenly realized.
"Then the question is, where is your God King's Son?"
She looked curious and added a knife.
Rosalind: "....."
The Dean felt bitter in her heart, she didn't want to talk, just wanted to close herself.
There is no good person in this broken Inquisition. Now this clown is the second most hated person in her life.
And on the other side, in the distant opening battlefield of the West Universe, a fleet composed of hundreds of warships of various sizes was sailing. From the pure white coating of the fleet, the wing-shaped magic sails around, and the standard Great Angel Sword flag, one could see the affiliation of this fleet.
This is the battle group of the Angel Witches—the Apocalypse Fleet.
Although in the ranking of Witch Battle Groups, the ranking of this fleet is barely in the top 500, it is worth mentioning that this is a young battle group established less than 10 years ago. In ten years, it has killed a way out of the countless battle groups and ranked in the top 500. Such a growth rate has broken the historical record set by the Destruction Legion of the Dragon Kingdom not long ago.
Although this fleet is still a bit immature compared to the veteran battle groups, it is already promising enough for the future.
Therefore, many people were amazed by this outstanding battle group, and even many people felt that this might be the beginning of the Angel Witch race moving toward revival.
It is a pity that such an idea was quickly shattered, because the Vice Admiral of the Apocalypse Fleet had publicly spoken very early that they were an independent battle group and did not belong to the ancestral court. They felt that the ancestral court of the God King Sect was seriously decayed, so they decided to stand on their own and establish the God King's Pure Sect.
As for why they did this, it was just like the name of their battle group. They received the apocalypse, and a great Saintess gave them guidance, letting them see another path that could better follow the glory of the God King.
The God King is just a witch. We should respect Him, admire Him, and be grateful to Him, but we should not be superstitious about Him, because witches are born equal.
Because of equality, then I am the God King.
Of course, this does not mean that you are arrogant enough to compare yourself to the God King, but that everyone should strive to become a God King, and should also take this goal as a belief.
Believing heart is magic, then as long as your belief in this goal is firm enough, then miracles are entirely possible.
This is the thought of the God King's Pure Sect, which can be said to be very rebellious, and even calling it treasonous is not an exaggeration.
If someone had done this in the early years, the Angel Witch race would have sent people to forcibly suppress it. After all, in the eyes of this group of religious lunatics, heretics are the most hateful existence. It is a pity that they are now unable to protect themselves, and they really don't have the ability to mobilize the masses to catch people on the front line.
This also gave this Apocalypse Battle Group enough time to develop. Their thoughts spread among the young Angel Witches. Many young people who were already dissatisfied with the decayed and solidified status quo of the God King Sect liked the thoughts of the Apocalypse Battle Group very much. Many people ran to the front line to join them as soon as they graduated.
Even some Angel Witches who had been wandering around in the early years were attracted by this battle group and gathered one after another. It can be said that this battle group actually gathered the vast majority of the strength that had flowed out of the Angel Witch race over the years, and this was also the main reason why they developed so quickly.
Unlike the decayed God King Cathedral, the Apocalypse Battle Group was full of vigor and vitality at this time. After all, the most numerous members here were young witches under one hundred years old.
Of course, there were also some witch sisters who were two hundred or even three or four hundred years old, but these witch sisters also mostly had young thoughts.
And according to the magical age view of witches that as long as the thoughts and mentality are young enough, they are young people, they are also considered young people.
It's just that don't look at these members being young, but their strength is not weak.
Currently, the battle group does not count the numerous servant armies. Just looking at the witches, the total number is about 100,000. Among them, there are more than 100 top-tier titled Grand Witches, thousands of ordinary titled ones, and three or four thousand ordinary Grand Witches without titles. The remaining ones are almost all experienced elites, and many are just one step away from Grand Witches.
Such member quality can be said to be enviable. After all, having such strength at a young age can basically be said to be all geniuses.
Hmm, basically, more than half of the excellent members of the Angel Witch race in the past hundred years are here.
"Good fellow, the ancestral court was raided."
At this time, in the flagship of the fleet, a blue-haired six-winged Angel Witch put down the magic book in her hand and let out an exclamation.
"Michelle, don't talk nonsense, how is this possible? Although there are indeed piles of waste in the ancestral court, the remaining prestige is still there. Who dares to come to the door?"
On the other side, a golden-haired six-winged Angel Witch rolled her eyes, looking unbelieving.
"Seris, if you don't believe it, go see it on the Mana Web yourself. It was arrested by the Inquisition, and thousands of people were arrested at once. It has spread crazy on the Mana Web now."
The blue-haired Michelle pointed to the magic book to defend herself.
And seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, the people present also picked up the magic book one after another and connected to the Mana Web with suspicion.
A moment later, the entire fleet was alarmed, and various exclamations came one after another.
"Tsk, these wastes are really getting more and more unreasonable. Can't even guard the house?"
Someone cursed like this. Although they had announced their independence from the ancestral court, after all, they all grew up in the ancestral court. Seeing their old home raided, they naturally felt a bit uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Raided is good, break and then rebuild. It's impossible to revitalize the race with that group of insects."
Someone cheered. Obviously, they had long-standing grievances against the useless fellow clansmen in the ancestral court who had no ability but had a lot of things to do. Now they couldn't wait to open champagne to celebrate.
"Tsk, what crime did these wastes commit? They dispatched so many Inquisitors at once. I feel that our battle group might not be able to beat them without warships."
Some people paid more attention to the strength of those Inquisitors.
"Be confident, we can't beat them even with warships. Did you see the one wearing the dragon mask? That battle robe is the uniform of the Grand Inquisitor. This is one of the three Grand Inquisitors of the Inquisition, a real big shot. People can single-handedly challenge all of us."
Some knowledgeable witch sisters popularized science for the younger sisters who didn't know.
"Is it so fierce? Single-handedly challenging five is exaggerated, right? We are a top 500 battle group after all."
Hearing the sisters say this, which was boosting others' morale and extinguishing their own prestige, some young Angel Witches were a bit unconvinced.
"Little sister, listen to sister's advice, don't think about single-handedly challenging the lunatics of the Inquisition. People are all born from professional duels. If you really encounter an Inquisitor, either surrender or call people to fight together. Hmm, at least call five people together. Those veteran Inquisitors can all fight five at least."
"Is it so fierce? Challenging five is exaggerated, right? We are a top 500 battle group after all."
"Exaggerated my ass, this is already very conservative. What I said about challenging five is still based on the data of the top ten battle groups. If you fight us, you need ten people together. You don't look at what equipment you have, what equipment they have. People don't use magic power to cast spells, can you?"
"Tsk, the evil civil servant, I also want to be a dog of the Sage Council."
"Hehe, who doesn't want to be? It's a pity there is no door. If there is a chance to be a civil servant, who would come to the front line to work hard?"
As they chatted, the topic went off track. Everyone's attention was attracted by the Inquisition, and they forgot about the ancestral court being raided.
Only a few top-tier Grand Witches on the main ship were still discussing this.
"Sister Maria, the Saintess is also in the Witch Academy, right? This won't affect her, will it?"
The golden-haired Seris looked at a red-haired eight-winged Angel Witch on the main seat with some worry.
This is the strongest and oldest sister among them, Maria, as the Vice Admiral of the Apocalypse Fleet, and also the leader and speaker of the entire battle group on weekdays.
The leader of the Apocalypse Battle Group, the real Admiral, is naturally the Saintess who brought them the apocalypse. It is a pity that the Saintess is still in school, and she hasn't graduated yet. Her studies are busy, so before the Saintess returns to her position, the affairs of the battle group are presided over by Sister Maria.
Everyone actually didn't have any opinion on this arrangement. After all, Sister Maria is a strong person who is one step away from the peak, and she might be on the peak promotion list this year. By then, their battle group will also have peak combat power.
"With the ability of the Saintess, this will naturally not be affected. Don't worry."
Looking at the worried look of the younger sisters, Maria smiled and comforted them.
If Dorothy were also here, she might exclaim "Good!" again. After all, this eight-winged Angel Witch big sister is right in her strike zone. She is a gentle and beautiful big car sister. The sister temperament is full. This smile is really like a saint in the world, and the maternal nature is almost overflowing into holy light.
"I'll contact the Saintess, that's fine."
Seeing that the younger sisters were still worried, Maria took out the magic book helplessly and said.
"Good!"
This time, many top-tier Grand Witches around cheered.
Many of them actually joined the group later. They recognized the thoughts of the Pure Sect, so they naturally had some longing and curiosity about the Saintess who founded the Pure Sect. It is a pity that they haven't seen the Saintess many times since they came late, but just looking at the images of the Saintess preaching in the past, that appearance of a god-man had already made everyone very convinced.
Although their strength is relatively strong now, and the Saintess is still just a student who hasn't graduated, such a gap in strength doesn't affect their respect for the Saintess. After all, on the road of faith, the one who reaches it first is the teacher.
The Saintess will definitely be the person closest to the God King in the future. Everyone has never doubted this point.
And now, they finally have the opportunity to get in touch with the Saintess again after a long time, so they are naturally very happy.
Although this is actually just a Mana Web video chat, everyone even changed their clothes in one second, and each of them wore the best priest robes, as if they were going to the holy land to worship, serious and solemn.
And seeing that the younger sisters were ready, Maria clicked on the name that was pinned at the top of her friends.
"Sophie Liya"
On the other side, in the Witch Academy, the Student Council President, who had just finished today's work and was in a daze in the office, relaxing a little and thinking about what dinner the Young Lady would prepare tonight, frowned, then took out the magic book, saw the contact person, and was slightly stunned, then her expression was strange.
