Chapter 1014 The Witch

The Romans' expression swiftly twisted into that of unrestrained fear as they witnessed the unbelievable scene that had just occurred before them.

Right now, the famous elite soldiers the Roman Republic boasted as the strongest have all turned back into the forest behind them. Many dropped their weapons as they scrambled in all directions, haphazardly leaving the battlefield.

Of course, their horror was not uncalled for. Their rushed steps became even more pronounced when they saw the girl with the vivid red hair did not stop and came chasing after, turning the unfortunate soldiers who were caught up by her into ashes.

With her expression distorted in utter anger, she glared at those whose figures were about to disappear into the woods and shouted out loud.

"Leave and don't you ever come back!"

The scene of sheer victory unfolding caused the surrounding Akavi warriors to cheer. But on the other hand, the others, the knights of Britannia who didn't recognize her, all could only stare at her anxiously.

In just a few minutes, the footsteps of the remaining terrified soldiers had faded, and the previously chaotic Forbidden Forest stilled into a calm quiet once again. Its mysterious yet scenic atmosphere, however, was tainted as hundreds of corpses and broken weapons litter the place, giving the normally beautiful forest a sad look.

Cavvi and Sir Yvain quickly organized their respective group of scouts to check on the retreating Romans and ensure that they didn't try anything else. Meanwhile, Luna and her guards stayed behind to tend to the injured and help clear the place of the aftermath of the battle.

The red-haired girl walked calmly back to the stream. Seeing that, the four Fey sisters all quickly approached her.

"Sister Morgana, you are finally back! It has been 7 months, where were you?"

Morgana has always been the quiet type, so she neither answered nor explained. She only gave the one who asked the question, the youngest of the sisters – Glita, a small smile in response before she proceeded to ruffle her hair.

Her sweet smile, however, quickly faded away when she saw the golden-haired queen coming to approach her.

"Morgana, you really are amazing… Thank you for helping us," Gwen said with sincerity in her voice. She looked as beautiful as ever, especially so under the shimmering rays that seeped in through the thick canopy of the forest.

In response, Morgana shook her head and said, "No, it was us who should thank you."

"It is the kingdom's duty to protect all of their citizens," Gwen said with a smile.

The red-haired girl didn't reply after hearing those words, her face was cold as always; however, she then looked at the carnage around her and asked, "Do you know who they are, and why they attacked us?"

Gwen nodded slightly and began to explain to Morgana about the Romans, the strongest nation that currently has taken over almost one third of the world. "We know that their ambitions will bring them to Britannia one day, however, I can't think of the reason as to why they attacked the forest."

It would make sense for the Romans to invade and try to take over Britannia, but to send a secret, separated legion specifically to attack the forbidden forest, to the point of even burning it, made no sense to the queen.

While Gwen was explaining, the red-haired girl appeared distracted, and after a while, she seemed to realize something. Then, she said, "Emery will return in 5 months, tell Arthur not to do anything rash."

Gwen's eyes widened by the unexpected words, and she immediately stared at Morgana saying, "If you know anything, tell us!"

Instead of responding, Morgana only glanced at her before turning around and walked away. Unwilling to accept such an answer, Gwen quickly tried to follow her. But Morgana snapped her head to look at Gwen, with her eyes flaming red, and shouted.

"Stay away! Don't follow me!"

Gwen was stopped in her tracks when she heard the fierce shout and saw the intense gaze Morgana was giving her.

Morgana didn't let her sisters follow her either, as she quickly dashed deep into the woods and disappeared. Her figure rapidly flickered across the gaps between the trees, and only stopped when she reached a particular place with a distinctive stone formation.

She stood near the stone, and then she turned, looked behind her, and said, "Whoever you are, show your face!"

As the words left her mouth, from thin air, the figure of three people started to appear, two men and one woman wearing strange clothes. They wore a cloak with gleaming golden lines and walked with a confident smirk. Their steps produced almost no sound at all as if they were as light as a feather.

The one in the middle, who looked at the oldest clapped his hand and with a smile he said,

"I told you, she can sense us... This girl is interesting!"

The second, younger man standing next to him replied, "She is a rank 9. I didn't realize that there is another rank 9 on this planet, especially one so young!" Surprise and also delight was apparent in his voice.

"With this, our work today apparently wasn't a waste at all," the woman commented with a wicked smile.

Despite their demeanor, Morgana seemed unperturbed, she only turned around to look at them and calmly said, "So, you were the one behind the attack today."

"Whoops, you are not supposed to know that." said the girl realized she just made a mistake.

"You and your big mouth… Lord Hades will not be happy when he hears this, you know…" the younger man said and shook his head.

"Hah, enough, both of you. That doesn't matter. The dead tell no tales."

The older man created a sigil in the air with his finger, and suddenly the ground beneath Morgana rose up, transforming into rocks that trapped her feet and half her body. With that, Morgana was unable to move.

"Well, little girl, cooperate and tell us everything we need to know. Otherwise, you shall suffer the consequences."

Morgana's face showed no hint of fear and panic even though she was immobilized. Under the gaze of the three unknown people, a cold and terrifying smile crept on her face as her mouth opened saying, "No, you three are going to tell me everything you know."

She merely touched the rock immobilizing her body with the tip of her finger, turning it into specks of dust that were quickly dispersed by the wind. In an instant, before the shocked gazes of the three figures, she broke free from her restraints.
