Chapter 462: Diana Wants Revenge

Although there were War Treants present here as well, because of the constructed platform, these treants always faced slight obstructive inconveniences when attacking.

This gave the invaders a relatively safe breakthrough point.

And after eliminating the treants in the south, apart from choosing to attack the habitat, these people also exhibited the phenomenon of cutting off branches.

Not using gathering skills to harvest, but simply using saws to cut down the branches of the dozen or so lower layers of the Roosting Giant Tree one by one, and then carrying them away whole.

Naturally, the witches also saw this action, but the life-risking cover provided by the transmigrators gave them ample time.

To the extent that in order to cover this operation, they even destroyed the patterns on many magic arrays and the trenches dug when drawing the magic arrays.

This caused a corner of the magic array to collapse, allowing the invaders to break into the habitat.

Fortunately, this problem was discovered in time, and among the witches in the habitat, there were also members of the Witch Coven, so with timely repairs, a larger spread was avoided.

Subsequently, both sides engaged in repeated struggles over the location of the Roosting Giant Tree.

From here, one could also indirectly prove the formidable strength of the Witch race.

"They finally retreated."

When she saw that the transmigrators had vanished overnight, Diana, who hadn't had a proper day of rest in over half a year, became suspicious at first. She then found someone to go and check, and only then confirmed that the transmigrators had truly retreated.

It was also after confirming the enemy's retreat that Diana was finally able to heave a sigh of relief.

"What should we do with these corpses?"

Margaret, wearing a single eyepatch on her face, stood beside Diana, looking at the southern high platform that had long since been altered beyond recognition.

Diana scanned the area, and two words popped out of her mouth.

"Burn them."

During the battles of the past half-year or so, the number of people who died was naturally not small. But because the invaders cleaned up on their own, it fundamentally wasn't the witches' turn to figure out what to do.

But this time, perhaps because the invaders left too abruptly, they left corpses scattered all over the ground.

Although there was a reason, Diana, having dealt with this group of disgusting invaders for so long, wasn't reassured.

So having people burn them was the best choice.

Speaking of the word 'burn', the first thing that naturally came to mind was Pandora's Fire Elemental Spirit.

This guy had played quite a significant role in this war.

The number of people who died under its flames was not small.

So this task naturally fell upon her.

"These people were simply like lunatics."

Margaret sat on the blackened steps of the high platform, watching Pandora and the Fire Elemental Spirit operate below.

Recalling the battles during this period, she only felt that this group of people could no longer be considered human.

Like beasts driven by desire, they were fearless of death.

"I heard from the Clan Leader before that she once encountered an existence capable of using contracts to enslave others. I wonder if it has anything to do with these people."

Diana, finally able to get some rest, also followed Margaret's example and sat on the steps.

She even stretched her legs out very relaxedly.

Perhaps it was because of this reason that she recalled a certain episodic protagonist from some 'interesting things' Lan Qingyou had mentioned before.

"There's actually such a talent? Then I think it should be related."

Margaret was slightly surprised upon suddenly hearing of this kind of talent, and then returned to calm.

After all, things like talents were inherently varied, and she had seen a lot of the world by now.

This kind of small wave couldn't move her heart.

"What does the governor personally appointed by the Clan Leader plan to do next?"

Margaret asked.

"What else can we do? Get revenge, of course. I want people all over the world to know that the Witch race is not to be trifled with."

If it were the past Diana, she absolutely wouldn't have said such words.

But after more than half a year of battle, she had changed.

She was no longer as naive as before, nor was she as easy to talk to as before.

The current her would also occasionally re-evaluate her past self.

In Diana's view, her past self was an idiot who liked appeasement policies.

A witch is a witch. Although she had management rights, a witch is a witch.

She wouldn't become some politician, nor would she become anything else.

Just a witch.

There was absolutely no need for her to do things like those guys in her family.

She only needed to follow her witch instincts.

Added to the fact that these invaders and the people behind the scenes had gone completely overboard this time, as the governor of the Tower Clan, she had to show these people a little something.

Although these invaders seemed to be disorganized existences.

But Diana was certain that someone was definitely pushing behind the scenes of this war, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to join the invasion.

Some people on the World Channel were saying this was done by an organization called the Pure Origin Sect.

But Diana didn't believe it.

It wasn't that she didn't believe the conclusion 'this matter was done by the Pure Origin Sect', but purely that she didn't believe the remarks on the World Channel.

As for what was overboard, then it was necessary to mention Margaret's lost eye.

That was something that happened during an aerial battle with the Featherfolk.

At that time, Margaret, due to a moment of inattention, was surrounded by two Featherfolk. While dealing with the one in front, she was sneak-attacked by the guy behind her.

Not only was she struck by two blades, but even one of her eyes was gouged out.

If the supporting attack hadn't arrived in time, maybe she would have lost both eyes.

If you ask why the other party would prioritize gouging out eyes rather than collecting blood, that is another question.

In the beginning, the witches didn't know the reason why these Evolvers did this.

It wasn't until they captured a few prisoners that they learned the reason from their mouths.

Demon Eyes.

What they wanted were Demon Eyes.

From the prisoners' confessions, Diana and the others learned that although a witch's Demon Eye couldn't be used by an Evolver who had already become a new race, a transmigrator who hadn't evolved could change them out at will.

So right now, the price of a Demon Eye on the black market was surprisingly high.

Those Featherfolk chose to continue fighting for the sake of Demon Eyes, rather than leaving after causing chaos in the early stages and getting the lion's share like other races.

It perfectly illustrated what it means to 'die for food'.

"Organize the personnel and begin the mopping-up operation. In addition, have the members of the Tourism Department outside collect all the personnel who stepped into the Forsaken Territory this time, as well as the lost Demon Eyes."

Diana slapped her knee, stood up, and made a decision.

Although everyone was already tired after more than half a year of battle.

Now was not the time to rest.

The enemy had just retreated, and their vigilance was at its lowest.

Anyway, she had previously ordered photos to be taken of the vast majority of the invaders. She wasn't afraid of not finding people, and even less afraid of identifying the wrong people.

The key was still to make them pay the price.
