Witch Wind

Chapter 208: The Creation of the Witch (Part )

Marilyn Town.

Ever since the Saint Ross Empire brazenly annexed thirty-three allies and launched an all-out war against the Western Continent without any warning, officials from the hundreds of countries in the Western Continent, especially intelligence agencies of all sizes, have all become active.

The town is an important passage for the Yidoli Kingdom to collude with the Dusk Mountains, especially for the mountain mercenaries to enter and exit the mountains. Over the years, in this town of only a thousand households, intelligence personnel from various countries in the Western Continent have once again taken root and multiplied. There are at least more than fifty households of "indigenous residents" who seem honest and decent on weekdays, but there are some shameful tails behind them.

When Artuso led his troops into the town, these activated "natives" were overjoyed and began to contact their superiors using various means to report the situation here back home.

When He Duo, He Xi, and especially Xing Tianzhi and others appeared, a fat and strong old butcher was squatting in the attic of a large slaughterhouse on the edge of the town, operating a brand new telescope with a few faint electronic lights flashing on it, and carefully observing the movements at the entrance of the town.

The slender antenna on the telescope is sending the images happening at the town entrance back to England exactly as they happen with extremely high efficiency and in a way that far exceeds the normal technological level of this world.

"It's really amazing! How did those useless officials in the country who only know how to eat, drink, gamble, and embezzle funds make this thing?" The old butcher stroked the matte metal surface of the telescope with great satisfaction and murmured, "It's really a good thing. We poor guys don't have to risk our heads to transmit information."

"Merciful... Holy Mother!"

When the old butcher saw He Duo, He Xi and others flying towards him with sand and wind, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

When he saw the strong winds in the sky, Xing Tianzhi and others riding the strong winds and rushing towards them, and the Ghost King's clone descending directly from the sky, causing even more trouble, and stirring up strong winds, freezing rain and hail, the old butcher, who had been slaughtering animals since he was a child and was used to seeing blood, felt a heat in his lower body and wet his pants.

"Is this... a demon?"

The old butcher had no idea that his mumbling was also heard clearly by his direct superiors, his superiors' superiors, and superiors three or five levels higher in England. When he complained about some officials who only knew how to embezzle funds, more than ten superiors and higher-level superiors were silently preparing to send his entire family to Saint Rose to serve the country!
Fortunately, the appearance of Xing Tianzhi, especially the Ghost King's clone, made these bosses forget some trivial matters in an instant.

In the newly established command hall of a certain high-level intelligence department in the Kingdom of Yingji, exclamations were heard one after another. Many Yingji senior officials shouted, "Is this Marquis Black Cloud? No wonder he was included in the Red Alert List... Damn it, his ranking needs to be raised... He alone can easily destroy a fully armed elite force of 10,000 people!"

"Keep an eye on him and never let him appear in the empire's homeland. He is too dangerous and too scary!"

The cold wind howled.

Freezing rain fell from the sky with wisps of visible cold, like countless white silk threads hanging between heaven and earth. The whole town was instantly shrouded in thick cold. Countless livestock and poultry fell to the ground wailing, shivering with cold, and some were even frozen stiff.

Dense hail covered the town of Marilyn, countless roofs were pierced, and more than 20,000 elite soldiers hiding in houses were beaten black and blue. Their summer uniforms could not withstand the cold wind, freezing rain and hail. Many people had stiff fingers and were shivering. Even their guns were dropped on the ground.

In just half a cup of tea, He Duo, He Xi, and Xing Tianzhi, with 10,000 elite mountain people who suddenly rushed out from the wind and sand, wielding guns and ammunition made by Xing Tianli, were about to launch a formal attack...

An exquisite white silk handkerchief appeared in Artuso's hand.

Artuso and his adjutant, several of his staff officers, and a large group of guards around them all waved white handkerchiefs in unison, like an exquisite white flag fluttering in the cold wind.

In the small town of Marilyn, more than three hundred white flags of all sizes were waving in the wind in all directions.

If some flag bearers had not been frozen stiff and fell to the ground shivering, there would probably be more than three hundred white flags!

Among the more than 20,000 elite troops of Yidoli, officers and soldiers from top to bottom actually prepared nearly a thousand white flags!
The old butcher was shivering with cold in the attic. He slowly scanned the white flags fluttering in the wind in the town with his telescope and muttered to himself, "I love Yidoli, especially Yidoli's army... My great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father, myself, and my three sons have all served in Yidoli's army!"

"But for nearly a hundred years, no male in my family has served in the Yidoli army, and has ever been shot by a bullet!"

"This is a peace army, and I love them to death."

Somewhere in the Kingdom of Yingjishi, in the top-secret intelligence command hall, a certain intelligence chief with the title of prince sneered: "So, is there anyone who objects to the implementation of the 'Go with the Flow' plan?"

"We must find ways to get Yidoli to join the Saint Ross camp... Damn Yidoli people. If they were our allies, we would have at least half of our army to support their flanks... But if Yidoli people become Saint Ross' allies, then half of Saint Ross' army would be killed by them!"

"I personally express my opinion that I unconditionally agree with the 'go with the flow' plan!"

Xing Tianli has already moved away from the Dusk Mountains.

He crossed the mountains to the north and reached the territory of the Farus Republic. The casual and romantic Farus people created countless conveniences for him. Xing Tianli, who had changed his appearance a little, easily found a group of old people in Baidanfeng City in the Farus Kingdom. He bought a full set of Farus Kingdom Earl's certificates from them for only a thousand gold coins.

A complete set of genuine certificates of the Earl of the Kingdom of Farus.

The bloodline pedigree recorded by the former Heraldry of the Kingdom of Farus, the imperial edict of enthronement signed by the former founding military commander of Farus, and the imperial edicts of succession and appointment of successors signed by successive Farus kings. Most importantly, the birth certificate of the latest heir, Xing Tianli, the bloodline certificate, and all the certificates of the paternal and maternal lines, etc.

The Kingdom of Farus was destroyed thirty years ago, and the king and a large number of high-ranking nobles were beheaded, but the old and young who remained still have a strong influence in this casual and romantic country.

The newly born republic confiscated almost all of their movable and immovable properties, except their titles.

In the new regime, the title no longer had any political privileges, but among the people, the common people of Farus were still respectful to their former nobles, and in many places they still enjoyed many conveniences.

Even if they have a noble title, when they go to the bank to apply for a loan, the interest rate can be several points lower than that of decent people!
Under such circumstances, the title of the old kingdom has some value, and there are still many people willing to spend a little money to buy themselves a noble title of the former Kingdom of Farus!

This is a mature business, and business, making money, in the Western Land, as long as you can make money, no matter what business it is, it is not shabby.

If Xing Tianli had not purchased this title, the last inheritor had such a bad reputation and committed so many crimes that he would be regarded as a rat crossing the street, the kind of person who would be hated by everyone in the current country of Farus. A mere one thousand gold coins would not be enough to buy an earl title. At least five thousand gold coins would be needed.

Three days after the title was obtained, a brand new yacht, painted entirely in blue and white and 53 feet ( meters) long from bow to stern, slowly sailed out from Maro, the westernmost port city of Farus.

Xing Tianli was wearing a full set of old Count Falous suit, holding a glass of red wine, standing quietly at the bow, looking at a faint black shadow in the distance - from Maro City to the sea, only 500 miles away is Hillland, the big island on the east side of Yingjishi.
Among the Ingish Islands, Hillland is long and narrow, like a city wall rising above the sea, isolating itself from the prying eyes of the Western Continent countries. In countless sea and land wars in the past, Hillland has withstood the most frenzied attacks from many Western Continent countries without falling. In Ingish, this island is called the "Iron Wall of the Empire", while the Western Continent countries call it the "Wall of Sighs".

At the feet of Xing Tianli, the three brothers Yang Huanglong, Yang Huanghu and Yang Huangbao, after gathering their breath, were covered with the furs of three long-legged and thin-waisted foxhounds unique to the Western Land that were refined by Xing Tianli, and turned into three dogs unique to the Western Land. At this moment, they were gnawing on a big bone with great disgust.

An old butler, nearly seventy years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in traditional Farus court aristocratic clothing, stood straight behind Xing Tianli, carefully observing his every move, ready to provide him with the most thoughtful and meticulous service at any time.

Although the Kingdom of Farus collapsed, there are still many old and young people in Farus, including naturally countless butlers, maids, coachmen, gardeners, even guards, private soldiers, thugs, etc.

The kingdom was destroyed, and the nobles were scattered. These people lost their support and had lived a miserable life for the past thirty years. Xing Tianli easily hired a whole team of nobles left over from the old Farus Kingdom through the old and young who sold their titles - an old butler, who was standing behind him; two head maids, who were supervising the maids in the cabin and preparing lunch; two coachmen, twelve guards, six personal maids, and twelve ordinary maids.

Behind the yacht, on an old wooden ironclad ship with all its weapons and equipment removed, a private army of 300 fully armed men, commanded by a 70-year-old Colonel Wang Guo, was also accompanying it.

These 300 private soldiers were all remnants of the old kingdom's army, the descendants of these years, ranging in age from 25 to 35. They were full of infinite longing and loyalty to the old kingdom and the old aristocratic circle. Xing Tianli, the newly-minted earl of the kingdom, was young, wealthy, generous, and easily formed such a private army.

There was no conversation along the way. At noon the next day, the yacht and frigate arrived smoothly at Saint Hill City, an important port city in the central part of Hillland Island.

Two pilot boats came over with a rumble, guiding the two ships around the huge twelve-sided military fort in the east of Port Saint Hill. The fort, which protruded nearly a hundred feet above the sea and was made entirely of huge stones and reinforced concrete, had a total area of ​​more than two thousand acres. It was like a monster entrenched in the east of the port, with a total of about three hundred gun ports of various sizes, completely strangling the channel in and out of the port.

Xing Tianli stood at the bow, looking at the mottled and dense bullet holes on the military fort.

This military fort is also extremely famous in the entire Western Land.

In the two hundred years since the fort was built, it has experienced at least twenty battles of varying sizes. The most brutal one was the war that swept across the entire Western Continent thirty years ago. The Farus home fleet gathered together with ships from more than twenty allied countries to besiege the Port of St. Hill. The elite Farus Marines had already attacked the fort. The Ingish sailors responsible for guarding the fort, with the help of the complex corridors of the fort, fought fiercely with countless enemies for three months.

When the English colonial fleet came back in large numbers to provide support, a fierce battle ensued, in which the Faroese home fleet was almost completely wiped out. In the fortress, only 23 of the 3,000 English defenders survived, and the Faroese who entered the fortress left behind a total of 13,000 bodies.

An incredibly brilliant battle.

Xing Tianli looked at the military fortress with great admiration, which exuded an iron-blooded and murderous aura. Apart from him and the three dogs, all the Faru people on the ship, whether they were the old butler, the head maid, or even the ordinary guards and maids, had extremely subtle expressions.

The medal of the enemy country is the shame of our dynasty!

The pilot boat brought Xing Tianli's pair of boats slowly to the most remote berth in Port Saint Hill. It was remote, but there were seven artillery batteries a little further away from the berth, and several coastal defense guns were aiming at this side intentionally or unintentionally.

The corners of Xing Tianli's mouth twitched.

This obviously couldn't be directed at him. He looked back at the royal flag with the aristocratic emblem of the old Kingdom of Farus hanging on his new yacht and sighed softly - since he was going to use the old Kingdom of Farus to do things, he would have to bear all the joint responsibilities.

There's nothing you can do about it. The relationship between Yingjishi and Farus is so "close", especially with the nobles of the old Farus Kingdom, they are "good neighbors". What can you do?
Several expressionless customs officials stepped onto the boat with heavy steps, and Dai Gao, the old butler hired by Xing Tianli, ran to negotiate with them with his head held high.

Several burly young men in British customs uniforms also boarded the ship, looking around with sad eyes.

In particular, they focused on the three dogs squatting next to Xing Tianli. One young man even took out a photo and pointed it at the three dogs seriously.

The photo shows a full-body picture of a Dongguo Shenzhou pastoral dog.

But it is obvious that Xing Tianli used the art of painting skin. The three brothers Yang Huanglong now look like standard Western Land foxhounds, and have nothing in common with pastoral dogs.

Several young men with dim eyes flashing a faint metallic cold light and slightly light golden hair put away the photos and looked Xing Tianli up and down again - although Xing Tianli had black hair and black eyes at this moment, his eye sockets were deep, his nose was high, and he had an extremely thick, powerful, and slightly protruding full jaw.

This overly three-dimensional appearance is typical of a Farus noble.

These young men, whose aura was too strong and whose blood energy was a thousand times greater than that of ordinary people, examined the guards and maids hired by Xing Tianli one by one. These guards and maids were typical of the Western Continent.

They shook their heads at each other in disappointment, and got off the boat without saying a word without greeting the customs officials.

Xing Tianli took a deep look at these guys - well, they clearly had typical English facial features, but their aura, especially the metallic cold light in their eyes, their hair color, and especially their blood fluctuation characteristics, were all similar to those of Augustus' men.

If Xing Tianli guessed correctly, Augustus had blond hair and golden eyes, and the highest-ranking companions around him also had blond hair and golden eyes.

Augustus' subordinates, those of slightly lower status, had blond hair and silver eyes; those of even lower status had eyes that were either bronze or tin-colored.

The eyes of these young Englishmen flashed with cold metallic light, similar to the miscellaneous soldiers around Augustus whose eyes were white iron, and their physical strength also reached about ten thousand pounds.

Has the 'Spark of Civilization Committee' behind Augustus already begun to carry out 'genetic ascension' on a large scale in Yingjishi?

A customs official with a gloomy face pushed Dai Gao aside, strode to Xing Tianli, and shook the set of nobility certificates bought by Xing Tianli in his hand vigorously.

"Count Allande? The infamous Count Black Crow. If I remember correctly, thirty years ago, the entire Allande family was shot to death by the rebellious revolutionary army because of Count Black Crow."

Xing Tianli smiled: "The bloodline of the nobility can never be eradicated. Just like the weeds in the ground, you can eradicate the grass leaves and stems on the ground, but you will never know how long and how far the roots underground are entangled. With the protection of the merciful Virgin Mary, the name of Allande will surely flourish in my hands!"

Several Yingji officials laughed together.

The red-necked middle-aged man in front of Xing Tianli laughed and said, "Oh, this is so interesting. Are you still planning to help the Farus royal family restore the throne?"

Xing Tianli shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Why not?"

The smiles of several Yingji officials suddenly disappeared, and they stared at Xing Tianli as if he were a madman. After a long while, the red-necked middle-aged man solemnly returned the certificate in his hand to Xing Tianli: "Well, I wish you good luck... Ha, I hope you can succeed!"

The corners of the Yingji officials' mouths twitched. It was a perfect day, really perfect.

Is the country of Farus, the traditional enemy of England, going to be in turmoil again? If so, that would be really great!

Xing Tianli hooked his finger and said: "Thank you for your blessing, there is no doubt that we will succeed." Dai Gao walked over and quietly stuffed a silk purse into the hand of the red-necked middle-aged man.

"I wish you all the best and a pleasant journey in Yingjishi." The red-necked middle-aged man said to Xing Tianli with a smile, "Then I won't waste your time. You are from Falushi, so you must be healthy and safe. We have exempted you from all the complicated border inspections."

Xing Tianli landed safely at Port San Hill, and then he took a car directly to the City Hall of Port San Hill.
