Hahahhahahahahahaha~
The Witches smiled, already planning how to handle the traitor's daughter.
Of course, their first mode of action would be to capture the traitor's daughter before taking down Baymard.
Truthfully, they felt they should be able to handle Baymard without a problem. But to maximize their chances of winning, they had to choose the most efficient route for handling this matter. And for this, they had to use the information already gathered.
Heh.
Elder Yanji and Genius Edna had a strange light flicker in their eyes.
'This is our chance!'
You have to know that though Jamila was the head witch, there were council elders with factions that opposed her rule, wanting her to step down before her appointed teen of office was over.
For years, they have been trying to yank her off the honorable position of Head Witch. Many already preferred the genius Edna, a younger and more aspiring witch than Jamila.
They believed with Edna, the witches could have the greatest success in life.
What's more, Jamila's deceit made everyone angered.
For heaven's sake! She wrote to them long before the festival that she would bring the traitor's daughter.
Do you know what such news symbolizes?
Everyone in their witch world was boiling when the news passed. The traitor's daughter was worth all the sacrifices in the world.
So how could they not be looking forward to it?
That was the gossip of the year, with many even buying special attires for the ceremony.
But when they arrived, they realized Jamila not only failed to do as promised but lost to the traitor's daughter woefully.
.
Yes...
To the witches, it seemed as though history had repeated itself, with them losing to the Traitor herself.
Dammit!
They weren't fools.
They also understood that Jamila must have gotten the terrible news several weeks before they arrived. So why didn't you send them word?
At least if during their travels they saw the message, they would've already let out a bag of steam during their long months of travel.
Of course, it didn't mean they would let her go after that. But at least it would seem more honest than breaking the news to them on the day of the festival! And mind you, they arrived probably a week or a few days before the festival's night.
So what the hell?
Why didn't you look them in the eye back then and spew it out?
Why do it on the morning of the festival? Was she trying to anger them to death?
Believe it or not, during that period, it was easier to handle anyone when they were in an absolute raging state.
They would most likely let a part of their emotion override their sense of judgment.
Yes! They did give her hell when she arrived. However, she did accomplish what she wanted. And then was to get everyone aboard this mission while still being the head Witch.
Jamila knew that if she had sent word during their travels, after their raging, they would've calmed down, coming at her with a sharper force than before.
For years, she had been losing supporters from the plots and schemes of the opposing factions.
If she didn't do it like that, she would've been forced to step down and her name written in witch historic as the most disappointing head witch.
Mind you, she was already down in history because of the loss she suffered from Lucy.
But at least when still in power, she had a chance to make a comeback and get rewritten as a fierce head witch who changed her fate and subdued the traitor's cunning daughter.
Some might even write a few bold and exaggerated sentences for Future witches to see her brilliance, praising her to the moon and back.
So how could she let herself get yanked off her position without redeeming herself?
What's more, she didn't want anyone to start the era of the witch without her. Such a thing would be another great event in their history. So if she stepped down now, the appointed head witch, possibly that b**ch Edna, would take all the glory.
She was the one who suggested they capture and pry every manufacturing secret out of her mouth.
She was the one who first thought of using Lucy to their advantage. So why should it be someone else who gets all the credit?
Jamila was unwilling, and that's why she acted the way she did, letting them explode on that fateful day.
Hehehhehehe~
She, Jamila, was never an easy person to bully!
...
The eyes of Yanji, Edna, and several important witches from the many factions and Council of elders all saw this matter as an opportunity.
Completing this mission was more likely to solidify their faction's chosen member as the next Head Witch after Jamila was forced down. But until they had Lucy in their grasp, they would go along with everyone's overall plans.
As it stood, their trained killers had long arrived in Pyno months before them, gathering information too. This information they won't share with the group.
Why? Because any Head witch candidate who caught Lucy first would likely step into power at the snap of a finger.
They were going to do it all on their own in hiding while still going along with the general plan.
Even Jamila had long sent her forces here too. Everyone did...
But what some of them didn't know was that their forces had long been subdued by Lucy and thrown into the female prisons to serve their sentences.
Alright.
Everyone focused on the matter, acting cordially with Jamila, even if they didn't like her.
"Head witch, as we've agreed, we must take the most efficient route to complete this mission. That is why I propose we don't attack within Baymard yet." Edna spoke out, making many nod in appreciation.
Jamila's plan was to go to Baymard with a surprise kill. She believed this time, she had more people and more knowledge from Number 5 and several other spies here to take them down.
Form number 5's telling, they successfully infiltrated Baymard,
Even going far as torturing many men without being discovered. It all went all, and the only reason they lost was because of Lucy's inherited witchly strength.
Yes!...
They were so close but lost because of this, showing how weak Baymard's defense was.
From Number 5's words and that of the many spies, she again confirmed that these people were too weak, relying on their neighboring allies for defense.
It's said every year, during the many seasons, a large batch of ally knights would enter district B, setting up their base there, temporarily stationed to wait for wars.
If there were wars, these ally knights would rush out and help. But what they didn't know was that Baymard was training these allied knights and not the other way around.
Bottom line, Jamila and everyone else felt they could still take Baymard down if they avoided those strange pack sticks that could leave a person trembling as though hit by a lightning fish (electric eel).
But what Edna said just now made them take several steps back in their plans. Her words were filled with more wisdom than Jamila's, causing them to compare the 2 again.
Edna smiled. "Head witch, elders, council women... My fellow witches, I don't think it's wise to take the horned wolf by its horns just yet. I suggest we attack her out of Baymard's territories... Maybe an ambush?"
Good one!
Their eyes lit up. Yes. In this way, they could confirm all factors leading up to the ambush, from the surrounding roads to the battle.
Jamila sneered, not wanting to be outdone. "Witch Edna... Though your plan is good, you need to know that the Witch's daughter is a Queen herself. Her traveling should be secret. So how can you guarantee that we will meet her in whatever place we wish to ambush her in?"
Edna's smile broadened, dropping a newspaper with eye-dropping headline news at the forefront.
"Head Witch, take a look at this."
She had taken this newspaper from the bar upstairs before they were led away.
The newspaper was published 3 months ago. Some news reported there should've passed. However, the one at the front headline was still relevant.
[Baymardian queen set to visit Douglas town, Arcadina, for the saving of a thousand trapped birds in a discovered underwater cave.]
Everyone looked at the headline news, several thoughts racing wildly in their minds.
If she was going to be there, this was indeed a good chance.
They had to access all roads leading to Douglas city, as well as determine the most likely for them to pass through from Baymard's direction.
What's more, it should be showing by then... So they could also use the weather to defeat Lucy too.
Many massaged their chins thoughtfully.
This was a better way of handling this matter. Even Jamila had to admit to it. And like that, their plans were set in motion.
For now, they would have to continue staying in Arcadina. In this way, time vanished in a blink of an eye. And out at sea, Landon finally met his newfound friends.
Lucius and everyone else stared at the group in shock.
These... Are you sure these aren't Gods?
Indeed, they deserved to be called giants.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
