Chapter 672: This Is Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys Ah!

Hiss—

Upon hearing it was the witches attacking, everyone at the main gate couldn't help but simultaneously suck in a breath of cold air.

Subsequently, looking at the air, they didn't even have the thought of sucking in a breath of cold air anymore.

Those layer upon layer of black witches circling in the air were just like crows reporting deaths one by one, making people's scalps go numb watching!

"What... is... going on..."

Someone issued a soul-questioning, but no one answered him.

And among these, roughly only Holger, one of the Four Great Knight Commanders with a pitch-black face, knew why.

"Don't panic. Immediately contact the remaining three Knight Commanders to come support."

"Also, properly protect the safety of the teleportation portal to prevent someone from sneak attacking and dismantling it."

Under the circumstances of knowing what happened, Holger immediately issued orders in a well-organized manner according to the defense plan.

However, although Holger appeared very calm, actually he also had a headache.

Why did this Tower Witch insist on running over exactly when he was on duty?

If she came two days later or two days earlier when he wasn't on duty, he could even treat it as if nothing happened, and wait until someone contacted him before slowly thinking of countermeasures.

As a result, it had to happen that he bumped into it.

Really... what he was least adept at was precisely improvising.

This was great, being blocked at the door by someone. He didn't even need to think to know what would happen next.

"That... Knight Commander..."

Right after Holger finished instructing, Liu Wei carefully stood beside Holger.

Only at this time did Holger have time to properly look at Liu Wei, this kid who came to tip off the news.

This kid he remembered.

Just one hour ago he had only just passed this guy's promotion application.

"What's wrong?"

"That... just now, at the first moment after the witches appeared, they used magic similar to lasers to kill all the surrounding Griffins."

Although words like this reminding the leader were truly very hard to speak, but now, wanting to climb the relations with the Knight Commander, he also couldn't care about this kind of Social Niceties anymore.

As expected.

After hearing the Griffins were completely wiped out, that person who originally was going to inspect the Griffin pens stopped his steps that had just started striding and looked back at Holger.

And Holger directly stood blankly on the spot.

Killed?

Killed those Griffin demonic beasts completely without a single one left?

Impossible, right!?

Although witches indeed could fly in the air because of Flying Brooms, but a demonic beast like the Griffin was an existence that inherently carried attack glory.

Whether it was wind-attribute or sound-attribute magic, or else a robust body as well as sharp and powerful claws, they were all good hands capable of helping attack.

They were just killed like this without them even coming down?

The Flying Knight Order he had formed with great difficulty was just gone like this?

What kind of joke is this!

What is this Tower Witch thinking?

Holger naturally didn't understand.

For black witches, or for Lan Qingyou herself, if it's the enemy's thing, then no matter how good it is, destroying it is always not wrong.

Moreover it was this kind of flying demonic beast?

Matters of offensiveness could all be put to the side without speaking of it first; just being able to fly had already pronounced their death sentence.

Otherwise what to do, she couldn't leave them for the enemy to let them sit on them and escape without a trace or risk their lives fighting against her, right?

Moreover, the combat objective this time was in order to retrieve the Branch of the Dwelling Giant Tree.

As for other matters, no matter what it was, it wasn't important.

Especially something like this kind of flying demonic beast that with extreme probability had signed a contract with a person, it had to be eliminated at the first moment.

The things that were like treasures in Holger's eyes were fundamentally unimportant to them black witches.

Just Griffins; there were quite a few on the Dwelling Giant Tree.

"What are you still standing blankly for? Go see if what he said is true!"

Although somewhat shocked at this kid's words, Holger, who couldn't one-sidedly listen and believe other people's words, still had people go inspect a bit.

Speaking plainly, it was precisely not giving up hope.

And right when Holger had people investigate, a change occurred in the air.

Those originally lingering witches one after another made way for a path, and then Holger saw a familiar figure descend from the air.

Although just like other witches she was sitting on a Flying Broom and wearing a black robe, the pressure this witch gave people wasn't something other witches could compare to.

"Tower Witch, what is the meaning of you bringing people to my Twilight Canyon?"

Correct, the person coming was exactly Lan Qingyou.

Although it was asking a question while already knowing the answer, at this kind of time Holger still had to hold it together, and couldn't reveal any stage fright.

Otherwise military sentiment and morale would directly collapse.

It would be better to say it was already on the verge of collapsing now, it was just because there was him, this Knight Commander present, that everyone could barely support themselves.

And Liu Wei, after seeing Lan Qingyou come down, immediately hid behind Holger, lowering his head and pretending to be a personal guard, silently lowering his own sense of existence.

Only praying the other party hadn't discovered him.

"Could it be that you still don't understand why I came?"

Lan Qingyou in the air smiled, and then directly used a question to answer the question.

Because the operation this time was for retrieving, Lan Qingyou, who looked in the air for half a day and didn't find the Branch of the Dwelling Giant Tree, didn't have people carry out attacks right as she came up.

Of course, she could also directly attack, and then force Holger to speak the location of the branch.

But doing so would be meaningless.

It would be better to say the original meaning of displaying such a large battle array also wasn't for killing people.

Buzz—

Right at the juncture when Lan Qingyou spoke, a large screen was seen appearing behind her.

This was that kind of live broadcast Sky Screen from last time, a kind of entertainment method currently being very broadly utilized.

It was just that there wasn't this kind of overly large Sky Screen that the black witches used.

Moreover, this time the witches didn't use that kind of live broadcast machine from previously again, but instead changed to using the live streaming function on the Card. This could also be considered a kind of advertisement, right.

However, the most crucial was still because compared to cameras, the Card was quite a bit more convenient.

Although speaking in terms of their strength, it also wasn't heavy to any degree.

And what the appearance of the live broadcast Sky Screen meant, Holger of course was clear.

This feeling of 'announcing to the world' directly made him understand that he himself had now become a chicken, a 'chicken' about to be used to warn the monkeys.

But even like this, he still couldn't loosen his mouth.

No matter what is said, he had to persist until the arrival of the other few guys.

After all, if he admitted that kind of matter facing the whole world, their Knight Order would be considered finished.

In the future, don't mention any reorganization and rebuilding; whether there would still be anyone giving them a bit of face was all a question.

It wasn't to say that this kind of illegally cutting down another's tree was some heaven-shaking and earth-shattering great sin.

But rather purely not wanting to get involved in relations with black witches.

This point Holger was extremely clear on, which was why he couldn't speak the matter out under this kind of live broadcast circumstances.

If the other party came to find him secretly to speak words clearly, then he would grit his teeth and admit it.

But now... there wasn't this possibility anymore.
