The story of the black silk female knight

"Understand?"

Tia raised her little face:

"Next, I will share those new tactical ideas with you all... You certainly won't be as talented as me, but you are all selected elites after all. If you work hard, you should be able to reach half of my level, right? At least a third of it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

As long as we diligently practice our new tactical thinking these next few years, what is there to fear from the invasion of the Central Plains Empire? They want to turn us all into corpses and slaves? Hmph, all they can leave behind are blood and tears!

"Okay!"xN

The officers' morale was immediately boosted. They were all like they had been drugged with bloodlust, their eyes red as they vowed to learn from Tia.

Many people even immediately suggested that Tia should teach them a lesson right now.

"This……"

This was somewhat unexpected for Tia, who had originally planned to stop there for today and begin training the officers tomorrow.

"Ok."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, and knowing that turning down now might dampen everyone's enthusiasm, Tia agreed after a moment's consideration.

The officers immediately fell silent, all staring intently at Tia, anticipating what brilliant tactical ideas she might utter.

"Emmm..."

Tia then rested her chin on her hand and paced back and forth a few steps:

"Well then... the Central Continent Empire is an enemy from the other side of the sea, and naval warfare is the most important thing when facing them. So at the Jade Island Summit, we made a decision to vigorously develop the navy in the next few years, and the first thing to do is to upgrade the warships."

So let me ask you... what aspects of performance improvement do you think are most important for new warships?

"This one……"

The officers pondered for a moment, then whispered among themselves, and soon someone answered:

"Is it stronger firepower? The firepower configuration of existing warships is basically designed to penetrate the outer skin and shell of monsters, but enemy warships will definitely have all kinds of large protective barriers, so firepower that can only be used to fight monsters is somewhat insufficient."

Tia chuckled softly, narrowing her eyes, but instead of immediately revealing the answer, she asked again:

"Anymore?"

"I think defense... or more accurately, air defense is even more important!"

Sure enough, another officer immediately chimed in:

"Ocean monsters primarily launch their attacks from underwater, so most warships' defense systems are designed for underwater operations, leaving them significantly vulnerable to aerial attacks! However, if the enemy is a human army, they will definitely have high-level spellcasters present. Their high-level magical attacks launched from the air will become the warships' greatest threat!"

"Not bad... You guys are quite talented to have figured out the importance of air defense capabilities in naval warfare so quickly."

Tia nodded with satisfaction, but still didn't reveal the answer:

"Anymore?"

Then some people suggested that the new warships should be made more maneuverable, and that the deck defense system should be increased to enhance boarding combat. Some even suggested that a large number of wind-attribute magic arrays could be engraved on the hull to turn the surface warships into air warships.

Tia did not deny these answers, but she just smiled and remained silent. Clearly, these answers had some merit, but none of them were the optimal solutions.

After the officers speculated for a while, they still couldn't figure out Tia's thoughts, so they stopped answering and looked at Tia expectantly, waiting for her to reveal the correct answer.

"Well... you'll understand if you think carefully about the biggest difference between naval and land warfare."

Tia didn't keep them in suspense any longer and smiled slightly:

"When encountering an enemy on land, even if the other side gains the upper hand, we can react quickly based on the terrain, hide ourselves again, and look for an opportunity to counterattack."

But what if you're on the vast ocean? If your warship is spotted by the enemy first, and you don't know where the enemy is... where do you hide? And where do you fight back?

Even the fastest ship can't outrun an attack spell! The strongest firepower is useless without knowing the enemy's location! And no matter how strong the defense, maintaining a protective barrier consumes far more energy than casting an attack spell… In the long run, the only outcome will be defeat and sinking!

"Do you understand now?"

Tia smiled and surveyed the group of officers before announcing the answer:

"In naval warfare, the ability to locate the enemy and the ability to conceal oneself are crucial, and our navies' warships, which were originally designed only to deal with monsters, are severely lacking in these aspects... Therefore, the design of new warships must be greatly enhanced... Hmm!"

Just as the officers were listening with great interest, they noticed that Tia suddenly stopped and her expression turned very ugly.

Despite repeatedly telling everyone that it was most important for her as commander to remain calm, her crimson eyes were now filled with anger, as if she wanted to bite someone hard.

What happened?

The officers exchanged puzzled glances, and a female officer stepped forward and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong, sir? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go back to the barracks to rest?"

"Well……"

Tia gritted her teeth again, her anger deepening, tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"I'm really tired today... Let's stop here for now. Consider the question of why reconnaissance and stealth are so important in naval warfare as homework. Everyone can think about it tonight, and we'll discuss it again tomorrow."

Tia didn't want it to be like this, but there was nothing she could do; the training simply couldn't continue.

Just now, her Entanglement Technique activated on its own, forcibly playing a video of Friggia seducing Valensa.

As her strength increased, Valensa seemed to be able to feel the spying sensation when the Entangled Fate Secret Technique was activated... So even though she was already extremely tempted, she still resisted the Great Witch's temptation and refused.

Tia was quite pleased at that time.

Unexpectedly, Valensa quickly gave up her insistence after the Great Witch simply made up a plausible excuse... Knowing that Tia was watching, she started doing all sorts of shameless things with Friedia!

Chapter 25 I'll definitely teach you a lesson!

So annoying!

In the officers' dormitory single room in the barracks, Tia sat angrily on the edge of the bed, clamping the pillow between her legs, which were clad in white stockings and a tank top, while her hands gripped the sheets tightly.

What appeared to be nothing in front of her was actually a high-definition live stream showing the intense battle between Valensa and Friedeja.

The female knight, who usually wins battles by virtue of her physical strength and numerous tricks, is easily defeated and routed in front of the Great Witch, her cries louder than war drums.

What's even more infuriating is that the two women in the heat of battle clearly knew that Tia was watching them.

Valensa was saying 'I'm sorry, Tia' while looking completely blissful, obediently offering her body to the Great Witch to replenish her magic... This was originally a privilege reserved only for Tia.

Meanwhile, Frigia would occasionally glance at Tia's perspective, and when Valensa rolled her eyes, she would make a V-sign as if posing for a trophy with Tia.

Tia's blood pressure was rising rapidly, and her temples felt like they were about to explode... The magic power in her body was also more turbulent than usual, like the peak of the tide. Now, no matter what spell she used, the effect would be more than 30% stronger than in her normal state!

Tia had been secretly observing Valensa using the Entanglement Technique for many years... almost as soon as she mastered the technique, she bound her entanglement target to Valensa.

In the past, when Valencia was drinking with prostitutes, eating milk tea, or flirting with other women, Tia would only glance at the beginning, remember the details, and then temporarily turn off her secret technique, as if out of sight, out of mind.

But not anymore.

Ever since accepting the fate of the Witch of Time, the Entangled Bonds Secret Technique has gone out of control—it will activate on its own whenever Valensa is intimate with other women, broadcasting the scene live to Tia no matter what she is doing at the time!

There's no way to avoid watching; no method can stop the live stream. Even if Tia deliberately drinks a sleeping potion to knock herself unconscious, she'll still see these things in her dreams and won't forget any details when she wakes up!

This is the price of using the witch's power!

Tia was initially somewhat relieved, thinking that the price was nothing... at least compared to the price that some witches paid, which was either crippling or amnesia, this price was already very minor.

Even without using the witch's power, Valensa still wouldn't remain chaste.

But after personally experiencing this price several times, Tia had to admit that the price was not as easy as she had imagined.

That insane jealousy always made Tia feel like she was trapped in a steamer, burning her whole body and making it hard to breathe.

She was angry at the bad women who seduced Valencia, but even angrier at Valencia herself.

You know perfectly well how much I care about you, and you know I often secretly observe you, even know I'm watching you, yet you still do this... Where is your self-control as a paladin? Fool!

He gritted his teeth, his heart filled with rage.

When Friggia once again hugged Valensa, who was rolling her eyes, and made a V-sign, Tia's anger reached its limit, and her crimson eyes burned like blood.

So what if you have the bloodline of an evil god?

So, you think you can sleep around with other women right in front of me just to save the world?

Row.

Golden phantoms began to flash intermittently in the blood-red eyes... Upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was actually the shape of an ornate clock, but the dial and hands were not crafts, but rather resembled nebulae and purple rivers in the night sky.

Wait!

Tia's anger suddenly subsided, and she became very calm, with only the light of inspiration constantly flashing in her eyes.

I'm going to create a new spell to teach you a lesson! I'll show you, you shameless, stupid, evil holy knight, the power of the Witch of Time!

snort!

. . . . .

After a night of pleasure with the Great Witch, even the Holy Knight of Evil, with his high stamina, felt a bit sore and weak when he woke up the next day, and almost fell over while changing his pantyhose.

Not only was the amount of exercise too much, but almost all the energy in the body was also drained, leaving the soft body unable to exert any strength at all.

For anyone else, even the most dedicated person would have to take a break in this situation, but Valensa's bloodline as an evil god allowed her to recover quickly.

Excessive depletion of physical strength and blood energy?

Just have a big meal and that's it.

The power of Holy Light and the power of Yang Flame are nearing depletion?

Pray sincerely towards the sun, whisper sweet nothings to the goddess in your heart, and deliberately stick your butt out a little while praying; the divine power you consume can be replenished quickly.

In just over half an hour, Valensa was almost fully recovered, which made Friggia, who saw her, lick her lips again and exclaim in her heart, "Wow, that's amazing!"

Who wouldn't love a high-capacity power bank that's incredibly convenient to use and extremely efficient?

But continuing last night's battle is impossible, because it's time to get to work.

As planned yesterday, Valensa will make another trip to the Four Islands Alliance today to find a place to use the high-level Mist Demon core to lure the Mist Demons into attacking. By having Friedia observe the Mist Demons' fighting style firsthand, she can uncover the secrets of the Mist Demons.

There was no need for Valensa to travel to Jade Island and meet Himika in person. Valensa simply had Chiba use her communication ninjutsu to contact Himika and request technical assistance.

The two sisters, Chiba Shin and Chiba Rui, were busy forming an alliance and did not come in person. Instead, an elite ninja squad skilled in sealing and barrier techniques was sent to help.

The team leader was named Iwaha, a middle-aged man who looked rather old-fashioned. He was also one of the Radiant-rank powerhouses trained by the Chiba family since childhood. He had also participated in the battle against Xiao Yu and had received simple treatment from Valensa after the battle. They had exchanged a few words, so they weren't exactly strangers.

The other 11 members of the team were all elite ninjas of the Lighthouse level... The ninjutsu barrier they released under Iwahachi's leadership could easily trap humanoid high-level mist demons for a long time, enough for Valensa and the others to achieve their goal.

The location for the ambush was quickly decided... The small village in the southern part of Mirror Island, which had been wiped out for colluding with the vanguard fleet of the Central Continent Empire, was a perfect place to put the waste to good use.

Considering that the advanced mist demon core might be able to sense everything outside and would inform other mist demons of the purpose of this operation in a distress signal, Valensa and the others sealed the advanced mist demon core throughout the entire discussion.

However, directly placing the high-level fog demon core at the ambush site to send a signal might still arouse the fog demon's suspicion... so it's best to put on another show.

So Valensa pretended to be playing with Friggia and Thousand Leaf Grass near First Cloud City, and then spontaneously started a battle in a secluded place in the wild.

The intense battle caused the small cloth bag tied to the female knight's leg ring to come loose, but the female knight, immersed in the battle, did not notice.

When the female knight returned after the battle to search for the lost pouch, it had already been picked up by a lucky thief disguised as a ninja, who then fled back to the ambush site.

The abandoned village, which was the site of a horrific murder, was a perfect place for thieves and scavengers to hide. It was quite normal for petty thieves to come here after committing a crime.

The plan seemed to be going quite smoothly... because not long after, a thick fog enveloped the small village.

The fog demons' attack did indeed come, and they were all new types of fog demons.

The first sound to emerge from the mist was the buzzing of bees, like the flapping of their wings.

It was a swarm of insect-shaped fog demons that looked like wasps but were about the size of a pet cat, which launched a massive attack on the small village.

Their tail stingers can be shot out like powerful crossbows, with considerable power, easily piercing through the walls and roofs of village houses, and then shooting large holes in various pieces of furniture inside.

The area where the thief was hiding was subjected to this kind of swarming attack with tail needles.

Fortunately, the thief wasn't really a petty thief; he was a highly skilled anti-demon ninja, capable of handling such an attack while under cover.

The Mist Demons clearly knew that a barrage of tail needles had failed to achieve their objective. The wasp-like Mist Demons, each the size of a pet cat, burst through windows and doors, entered the rooms of the small village, and engaged in close combat with the ninjas carrying high-level Mist Demon cores.

These wasp-like fog demons weren't particularly strong individually, even weaker than the older canine and bird-like fog demons. The elite ninjas, at the Lighthouse level, were completely unafraid, drawing their ninja swords and preparing to slay the wasp-like fog demons inside the hut.

However, once they clashed, the ninja knew things were going to get bad.

It's not that the Wasp Mist Demons are stronger than imagined; in fact, they are weaker. However, unlike the Bird Mist Demons and Dog Mist Demons, they don't possess a core!

Without a core, the Fog Demon is impossible to kill!

Indeed, the Demon Ninja could shatter the Wasp Mist Demon with a single strike, but the shattered Wasp Mist Demon would merely turn into mist and reassemble itself a few seconds later, rejoining the battle.

These wasp-like fog demons fight in a simple and brutal way, but they shouldn't be underestimated... They will self-destruct when they get close to the ninja.

The self-destruction doesn't produce a powerful kinetic energy impact or high temperature, but it will shoot out a sky full of tail needles, causing a comprehensive attack on everything within its range.
