The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

At the same time, she pretended that nothing had happened, revealing several flaws in her actions.

But to her utter surprise, after seizing her weakness, the first thing the other party did was turn around and run away, catching her completely off guard.

The snow leopard, drenched in cold sweat, struggled to hold back its urge to urinate. Its adrenaline surged, and it felt as if it still didn't have enough legs.

Awooo! Where did this monster come from? Just looking at it is like falling into a dark cave and being pierced to pieces by the jagged stone spikes inside!

She was even pretending to be cute. It's so funny! How can such a cunning creature exist? Waaah, Mom, I miss you.

Tears welled in the snow leopard's eyes, turning into ice crystals that shattered beneath the sky.

"No, why did you run away?" Jiang Kehan ​​tried to remain calm. She felt like she had just been fighting against thin air, and she was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

The specially loaded crossbow bolts, imbued with magical properties, swirled with effects of weakening, burning, and corrosiveness.

The crossbow's built-in tracking function leaves the Snow Leopard with nowhere to escape.

With a "whoosh," the crossbow bolt, originally intended only to restrict the opponent's movement, pierced its throat, causing the snow leopard to let out a "woo-woo" sound similar to crying, before collapsing unwillingly onto the snow.

Jiang Kehan ​​stared blankly at her own hands and the other person's corpse.

He's dead already? I think I only put in a few points of magic power...

Are you too weak, or am I too strong?

Jiang Kehan's lips twitched. She quickly stopped the bleeding from the Snow Leopard's corpse, then carried it with one hand and flew towards the capital of the Mu'ou Clan Empire.

However, she did not have the necessary equipment for dissecting the corpse, and strictly speaking, hunting was not part of her plan.

However, by circulating magical energy within the Snow Leopard's carcass, it can preserve it, enough for her to have the Mu'ou tribe dissect it.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the scenery along the way. After flying over the plateau, she passed through grasslands with grasses growing half a person tall, maple forests with leaves tipped with rouge, and rolling hills. Finally, she stopped in a classical city built along a river.

She let out a long sigh, looking at the city wall that was more than ten meters high in front of her with a complicated expression, her curiosity unable to be contained.

Always flying over floating islands, she seems to have never understood what the land of the witch world is like. It can't possibly be a harmonious city, can it?

Now is not the time to be curious about these things. Jiang Kehan ​​smiled contentedly, looking at the enormous capital city of the other party, she became more and more confident about the transaction.

My witch Kim, here I come! ?衣《哟泣泗呜蹴私韭吧》

To make a good impression, Jiang Kehan ​​deliberately descended from the sky to the ground, and even tidied up the other person's clothes, making her look slightly mysterious.

However, the streets were rather quiet, and there were hardly any people to be seen, which surprised Jiang Kehan.

What's going on? I don't think I've gone to the wrong place, right?

Thinking of this, she walked up to the orc who was selling fruit at a stall and asked him with some curiosity.

"Why are there so few people here? This should be the capital, right?"

Orcs are a relatively common race in this world, and the other party was a feline orc. She twitched her ears a few times and looked up at Jiang Kehan.

"Meow!"

With a scream, everyone around looked over, and then they all knelt down before Jiang Kehan, catching her off guard.

"What is this for?"

Jiang Kehan ​​tried to help the other person up, but the other person just lowered their head and dared not move.

"Yes, it is Your Highness the Witch, please do not be so polite to us."

Looking at the trembling feline beastman, Jiang Kehan ​​hesitated, but finally let go of his hand that was supporting the other and continued to ask questions.

"Can you tell me what's going on here? I remember the capital should be quite lively."

The information states that the capital city has a population of over 100,000, making it the largest city in the empire.

"Everyone else has gone to fill out military service forms, leaving only us old, sick, and disabled people to stay in the capital. Please forgive us, Witch."

Although Jiang Kehan ​​knew that this was a class that the other party was used to, a flame still rose in her heart, and she tried her best to make her expression look kind.

"It's alright, I came here to deal with the pest infestation, you can get up now."

But the others remained motionless. Jiang Kehan ​​took a deep breath and could only return to the broom, flying straight towards the palace.

She wanted to see what the Mu'ou tribe's attitude would be.

Chapter 56 What is Survival?

The Mu'ou tribe's palace is located halfway up a mountain, almost carved out of half the mountain peak. The spire of the castle can even rival the mountaintop, maximizing security while also achieving the pinnacle of architectural aesthetics.

Jiang Kehan, with a sour face, carried the corpse of the Snow Leopard and flew directly to the palace hall, where the Queen of the Mu'ou tribe was holding a meeting.

"How is the battle going?" The Queen of the Mu'ou tribe also looked uneasy, her brows furrowed with worry.

A general in iron armor was kneeling below, reporting to the other party, but he was an orc.

"The situation is not optimistic. Those behemoth-like insectoids are a disaster. Each one requires a fully armed team of a hundred men to defeat, and they have cunningly spread their forces across the country."

He hesitated, then added.

"They didn't even take us seriously. Their scattered encroachment seemed to be solely for the purpose of feeding."

In the dead silence, Jiang Kehan ​​suddenly flew in through the window, threw the Snow Leopard's corpse directly to the ground, and spoke expressionlessly.

Who's in charge here?

She originally thought there would be a verbal exchange, but to her surprise, just like on the street, everyone's first reaction upon seeing her was to kneel down and lower their heads.

This even includes the queen on the throne.

No, shouldn't you pretend to be nice to me, then I'll use my power to scold you, and then you'll obediently lower your heads?

Why did you kneel down like that? Aren't you nobles?

Where is your pride?!

Jiang Kehan ​​was stunned into silence. This was completely different from what she had imagined, making her wonder if she had been reading too many novels.

Strangely, she didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak either; they just knelt there.

Jiang Kehan ​​was still angry. She walked to the throne, ignored the queen who was buried in her head, and sat down directly on the throne.

"What's going on with you guys? There are only about one in ten people left on the street."

Jiang Kehan's good upbringing prevented her from directly lashing out; she still wanted to hear the other person's explanation.

The speaker was the orc general, whose tone was extremely respectful, even displaying a submissiveness that seemed out of place for his size.

"Your Excellency, the nobles and citizens of the capital are heading to the front lines. Rest assured, we will definitely hold back the insectoid invasion so that you can continue to receive offerings as usual."

Jiang Kehan ​​frowned and spoke with some impatience.

"Is this your reason for forcibly conscripting soldiers? And why don't you ask us for help?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked puzzled and quite surprised, but because they were looking down, Jiang Kehan ​​didn't see it.

They were already grateful that the gods gave them the chance to live, so how could they dare to make requests of them?

You should know that the consciousness of the shattered space originally intended to kill them. If it weren't for the witch protecting them, they wouldn't be where they are now.

For a moment they didn't know how to answer, but the Queen was the first to react.

"Please rest assured, sir. We have prepared generous subsidies for every citizen who participates in the conscription. We have staked all our wealth on this matter. At this critical moment of life and death, every soldier is our hero."

"If necessary, we will join them and there will never be any unfair treatment."

At this point, disregarding her own life and death, the Queen resolutely raised her head and looked directly at Jiang Kehan.

"If I heard correctly, sir, you are going to help us?"

Looking at the determination in the other person's eyes and the fear hidden deep within, Jiang Kehan ​​opened her mouth, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

Magic can easily discern whether someone's words are true or not, but unfortunately, everything she said came from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Kehan's momentum vanished. She held her head and spoke weakly.

"Get up, everyone. I'm here to help you. Let me explain the situation first."

Joy spread among them; instead of standing up, they kowtowed directly to Jiang Kehan.

"Thank you for your mercy, Witch! We will never forget it!"

Jiang Kehan's face was tense, and she felt like bugs were crawling all over her body, making her feel very awkward.

Outsider, dwarf, savior—where did I end up? Am I still an arms dealer?

Is my next step to be crowned? Oh, no, I should say I'll crown them.

"Stop talking nonsense, I have limited time, quickly tell me your difficulties."

The Queen and the General exchanged a glance; they were the two people who knew the situation best, so they added to each other's points.

"Currently, the Zerg have spread to almost a third of the Empire's territory from west to east, with the death toll exceeding 100,000 residents and 200,000 soldiers."

"But the number of Zerg has hardly decreased. The only thing we can do is concentrate our efforts on sealing off key cities and using city walls and strategic locations to stop their spread. That's why we're recruiting people from all over the country."

"If possible, we hope that Your Excellency can bestow your divine power so that our warriors can be matched with the Zerg."

Jiang Kehan ​​frowned. She really hadn't expected the situation to be so bad. Judging from Bai Bingbing's attitude, the other party wasn't in a hurry at all.

That's true. These races aren't even worth transforming into witches, so it's normal that the other party doesn't care. As long as the space doesn't have any problems, the materials won't be a problem.

Jiang Kehan ​​sighed, postponed her grand arms dealer plan for a while, and decided to delay the establishment of the production line.

"I can provide you with sufficiently powerful ranged weapons. With the help of the city walls, we should be able to stop the Zerg's advance. Moreover, I will personally organize a team to destroy the Zerg queen's nest."

"But none of these are free, you know?"

She glanced at the crowd still kneeling on the ground. Sunlight streamed through the stained glass into the hall, and she, on her throne, rested her chin on her hand, her expression solemn.

A gentle breeze drew everyone's attention, ruffled her hair, and pressed against her lips as she spoke.

"I hope you can treat other races better, at least make sure they have enough to eat. Please include that in my conditions."

Jiang Kehan ​​doesn't consider herself a good person because she struggled to survive, but she will still do whatever she can.

She had been soaked in the heavy rain, and looking at the dark clouds, she wanted to do something instead of leaving in silence.

She took out several guns from the secondary space magic and used her magical power to hand them to everyone, then spoke.

"You can try out the power of these weapons. By the way, I won't accept your currency. I only need the materials on this paper. However, I support payment after the war. Also, I will be sending weapons to various places. You need to organize your manpower before I return."

Jiang Kehan ​​stood up, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

“We should let those insects know what the fear of death is. These creatures, which have no intelligence, are only fit to become fertilizer.”
