Chapter 974: Frontier Great Wall
On Nephthys, Dorothy stood by the porthole, looking at that incomparably beautiful World Flower.
It was an enchanting flower blooming in the void, so magnificent that it was hard to describe in words.
Countless worlds were spliced under its roots, turning into fertile soil to nourish it. There were towering giant towers connecting heaven and earth, gods and mortals, like tough branches. Its top was petals and leaves composed of countless floating islands, and in the center surrounded by many petals, four suns shone in the sky, and the stars shone, like the pistil.
This was the Witch World.
The Home Witch last saw this scene when she had just gone to the Moon Rabbit World.
However, at that time, Dorothy was just a new witch student, and now...
Well, now she was still considered a new student, but she was already the commander of a mighty army.
"This is truly beautiful no matter how many times I see it."
Looking at the World Flower that was gradually moving away, the Home Witch couldn't help but sigh.
However, they hadn't actually completely left the range of the Witch World yet.
The Witch World was divided into the Inner World and the Outer World. The Inner World was the inside of the World Flower seen before, including the pistil floating islands, the flower-stem reaching-the-sky towers, the flower-soil worlds, and so on.
As for the Outer World, that was the distance from the World Flower to the Frontier Great Wall at the front line.
The Inner World was relatively peaceful, various world laws were relatively perfect, and the power of the Three Kings perfectly protected everything. But the Outer World was already considered the peripheral area of the world, and the sunlight of the Three Kings transformed into suns reached here relatively weakly. Therefore, the Outer World was forever in twilight, also known as the Twilight Realm.
And having lost the protection of the Three Kings, and being close to the periphery of the world, the world laws appeared chaotic and fragile, and the boundary between the reality world and the Spirit World would therefore become blurred.
Therefore, the Outer World was much more dangerous compared to the Inner World. In this vast and desolate void, heaven knows how many dangerous monsters banished or escaped from the Witch World were hidden, or terrible monsters invading reality from the Spirit World, etc. To act and live in the Outer World, one basically had to have the strength of a Grand Witch.
However, even if the Twilight Realm was forever in twilight, it still received some protection from the Three Kings. If one left the Twilight Realm and went further, the sunlight of the Three Kings gradually weakened, and finally completely fell into darkness, then it was truly the end of the world.
Usually, worlds had world barriers, and that barrier wrapped the entire world like bubbles in water.
This was both protection and restraint.
World barriers were generally very hard and could effectively block the invasion of some extraterritorial forces coveting the internal world in the outside world.
But the existence of world barriers also limited the growth of the world. Its existence directly framed the size of the world. If the world wanted to grow, it had to break the old barrier like a snake shedding its skin and regenerate a larger and stronger new barrier.
But the Witch World was special; she had no barrier.
Or to be precise, she abandoned the barrier mechanism.
After all, the growth of the Witch World was too fast. The growth time of a normal world was measured in hundreds of millions of years, but the Witch World only took a mere hundred thousand years to grow from a small world to the current Disaster World.
This was approximately equivalent to a snake having to be in the shedding period every moment, which was too troublesome, so it was better to just not have that skin.
Although this would also lose the protection of hard scales and tough skin, making itself and its interior very fragile and easy to be invaded by foreign enemies.
But who let the Witch World be the residence of the Three Kings?
With these three big shots sitting in town, the Witch World was directly a high-risk forbidden area in the Western Universe that made thousands of races tremble with fear. It was good enough that they didn't go to invade others; who would be full and have nothing to do to come here to send food to the door?
Therefore, that useless barrier could be discarded; the existence of that thing would only limit the growth speed of the Witch World.
Mm, thinking about it this way, the Witch World seemed to be a girl who didn't wear clothes and kept running naked because her body grew too fast and her old clothes would soon not fit.
Eh, World Mother h oh.
Dorothy's thinking diverged like this.
But she soon remembered that her mother seemed to be a young girl, which was really not sexy.
Then it's fine.
At this time, the entire Total Mana Wasteland strategy fleet had opened the Spirit World jump mode.
This was a quite dangerous behavior. After all, the danger of the Spirit World didn't need to be emphasized again. In the Inner World of the Witch World, under the protection of the great power of the Three Kings, each like a sun in the Spirit World, witches could freely perform Spirit World jumps. But once they left the protection of the Three Kings, entering and exiting the Spirit World was very dangerous. If one was not careful, one might plunge into the nest of some old demon in the Spirit World, and then one wouldn't even know how one died.
At this time, the fleet was already in the Twilight Realm, and the brilliance of the Three Kings had weakened. If they performed Spirit World jumps again, the danger would increase sharply.
However, that was for ordinary witches. For a luxurious fleet like theirs, the danger of the Twilight Realm was not worth mentioning.
After all, the Twilight Realm was still bathed in the brilliance of the Three Kings. The demons here were stronger and more dangerous than those in the Inner World, but they were not too outrageous. True high-risk old demons could not dare to appear here.
Therefore, the Twilight Realm was actually a novice trial ground for armed witches, and it was the best place for them to hone themselves before heading to the real battlefield.
Generally speaking, the strength of a Grand Witch could try to enter this Twilight Realm to hone herself, and if you could successfully cross the Twilight Realm and reach the end of the twilight, the front-line Frontier Great Wall standing at the end of the world watching the endless dark chaotic void behind it, that meant you had officially graduated and become a qualified armed witch.
Mm, if everything developed normally, Dorothy would also be motivated not to be a civil engineering witch, but to aim to become a real armed witch. She should finish the twenty-year course of the Witch Academy, graduate successfully, and then find a few classmates to form a team to challenge the Twilight Realm together.
She would gradually develop bonds and tacit understanding with her teammates under the honing of this Twilight Realm, everyone would grow together, gradually shed the greenness of students in battle after battle, grow into real armed witches in the tempering of blood and fire, and finally head to the front line, starting to write a legend with brilliant military exploits on the alien battlefield. (Damn, I actually wanted to write this, but I wrote it crookedly, sad.)
It's a pity that Dorothy was not a normal witch who followed the rules, so the above development full of youthful atmosphere had nothing to do with her. What Twilight Realm novice village oh, she was now directly leading a massive fleet to crush through it.
Skip the plot, skip.
"Tsk, I always feel like I missed something."
Dorothy thought to herself.
And the powerful Spirit World jump engine of the battleship had already ended this jump, which was so fast that she didn't feel anything about it.
This jump was naturally very smooth. With such a massive fleet passing through, the Spirit World creatures didn't even attack, they had long since fled in fear.
Anyway, in the time it took to close and open her eyes, the beautiful World Flower had shrunk to the size of only one pixel, and in front of the fleet was darkness, and the Frontier Great Wall that the Home Witch had been thinking about for a long time.
It was called a Great Wall, but it was not a real city wall. After all, if they really built a city wall so huge that it could wrap the entire Witch World, it would be better to just keep the world barrier.
Therefore, this so-called Frontier Great Wall was actually a "human wall."
That was a "defense line" composed of temporary stations of countless large and small witch battle groups.
But in fact, this naturally could not be a "defense line." After all, it was said before that it was impossible for anyone to be unable to think and go to attack the Witch World where the Three Kings were all present. The Witch World didn't need any protection at all. Anyway, whoever came would die.
Therefore, the existence of the Frontier Great Wall was never for defending against foreign enemies; on the contrary, it was for attacking faster and better.
Dorothy had already had a certain understanding of the laws of the Western Universe when she got the whaling contract for the Total Mana Wasteland before.
Here, the law of the dark ocean was followed.
The entire Western Universe was a dark ocean, and each world was a ship sailing in the darkness. They would not stay fixed in place like normal starry sky worlds, but were moving all the time.
But the surrounding darkness also made the vision of the ships very limited. They sailed in the dark and always encountered various unexpected things, which might be adventures or dangers.
And among those many dangers, the Four Great Disasters were the most terrifying and desperate horrors.
The Witch World was the storm on the sea, and the witches were the terrifying pirates who came riding the storm.
The witch battle groups were stationed at the edge of the world, just to rush up and divide everything as soon as they found those fat and juicy prey.
After all, everything was involution these days, and conquering the world was the same. This was really a case of too many wolves and too little meat, especially since "private hunting" was now prohibited, and one needed to get a whaling contract to hunt legally.
It was just that whaling contracts were too expensive and too few. If they just waited foolishly for the distribution of the whaling agency, the battle groups would starve to death, so most battle groups would run to the edge of the world to search for prey in their own ways.
Mm, according to the regulations of the whaling agency, if the discoverer of a new world had a similar world conquest difficulty level, they could enjoy priority hunting rights.
Anyway, over time, this world boundary that should have been desolate and dark was crowded with countless large and small battle groups. The armed witches were like gold diggers in the gold rush, rushing to the front line one after another, finally forming this magnificent human wall like a Great Wall.
Of course, compared to gold diggers, they were actually more like fishermen.
After all, searching for the traces of new worlds in this boundless chaotic darkness outside the boundary was like fishing, it all depended on fate, and being empty-handed was the norm.
"Eldest Young Lady, do you want to go down and see?"
Dorothy already had the nine-star gold contract for the Total Mana Wasteland in her hand, so theoretically, she didn't need to stay at this Frontier Great Wall and could go directly out of the boundary to start hunting "whales."
But Sophie Liya, standing to the side, saw the curious eyes of her own Eldest Young Lady and several good sisters looking at the Frontier Great Wall, so she suggested this.
Mm, the Pure White Witch had actually been to this Frontier Great Wall many times, after all, she had been fighting in all directions with her teacher since she was a child, but the Eldest Young Lady and the others were here for the first time. This atmosphere, which was completely different from the Inner World, was quite novel to them.
"Eh, can we really go down and see?"
The Home Witch's eyes lit up as soon as she heard this, but as soon as she thought that time was tight and the task was heavy, she felt that she couldn't affect the marching efficiency because of her own selfish desires.
"Mm, we were going to handle the exit procedures anyway. If you want to accompany us, Eldest Young Lady, you can."
Sophie Liya said with a smile.
She gave her own Lord a step down.
"Okay, okay, cough cough, it's just that it's mixed with fish and dragons here, it's a bit chaotic. Sophie Liya, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Let us be your guards."
Dorothy just wanted to cheer, but as soon as she thought that she was now the Commander-in-Chief of the fleet, she had to be majestic and not childish. She immediately coughed a few times and then said the reason seriously.
Audrey and Alice beside her immediately nodded, their faces full of "Me too."
Even Madeline and Miya, who were always steady, were very moved.
Pure White Witch: "..."
For the Eldest Young Lady's posturing, Sophie Liya rolled her eyes at this person with disgust.
And so, after the fleet slowed down and stopped, the sisters excitedly followed the Pure White Witch to gain some knowledge.
But soon the members of their strolling team increased again.
"Lord Dorothy, where are you going?"
In the battleship corridor, Wendy and Mordred, the two newcomers, looked at them curiously and asked.
Mm, the Wendigo girl finally joined Star Industry successfully. Dorothy didn't want to accept this, after all, she couldn't afford to pay if this Princess had any shortcomings.
But after Wendy brought out the reason that she was under the Demon King's order, the Home Witch could only surrender.
She thought that the Total Mana Wasteland was a trap set by the Demon King, and now that she had sent her little daughter here, this might be a supervisor.
And after accepting Wendy, it could indeed increase a lot of sense of security. After all, that guy Ati would never really joke about her daughter's safety. If the situation in the Total Mana Wasteland was really bad, then everyone would follow this Princess to run, which would definitely be safe.
As for Mordred...
Sigh, after all, strictly speaking, this seemed to be her own cub, what else could she do? She couldn't really abandon her.
Dorothy was very helpless.
Although this cub was much stronger than her cheap father, it was really hard to say who took care of whom.
And after hearing that Dorothy and the others were going to handle procedures (strolling), the Demon Princess and the Weapon Girl also looked at each other and finally followed silently.
"It's too dangerous here, please let us accompany you as guards."
The two said so.
Just like that, the novice Armed Witches finally arrived at the front lines.
Witch strolling...
