A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 80: On the Front Line

The border between Narsist Kingdom and Sanguine Kingdom.

In a timeless forest that has been protected for millions of years, a forest that has always been peaceful and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, has now lost its calm.

In the outer part of the forest, there was already an army from the Narsist Kingdom that had prepared to rush into the forest in order to conquer the Sanguine Kingdom.

While in the interior of the forest, the alliance army consisted of troops from the three Kingdoms namely Sanguine Kingdom, Ferox Kingdom, and Drakon Kingdom. They stood up and cooperated in resisting the invasion of the Narsist Kingdom that had begun to craze.

At first a natural barrier made of tall towering trees was enough to withstand the invasion from the outside. Especially after Queen Cascade used her power to put up a veil of illusions that would mislead those of ill will to the citizens of the Sanguine

Kingdoms.

However, feeling that it was not enough, the alliance appointed a group of Otherworlder craftsmen, led by Holz. To build a wooden fort as the center of defense of the alliance army

in this battle.

Giving all their energy, the craftsmen successfully built the fort in just a week.

They really worked from day to night. Even eating sleep they miss, not a few of them are even willing to skip school or even not go to work just to be able to build a fortress

this is as fast as possible. Until the fort was finally completed, all participating craftsmen immediately Log Out to sleep and rest and just Log In a week later.

The fort was not a fortress.

Although the fort is entirely made of wood, but the wood used as the main material of development is a type of wood that comes from a tree named (Mineral Tree) that only grows in parts

deepest Sanguine Kingdom.

Just like the name suggests, this tree has a trunk that is as hard as steel or even beyond it.

Therefore, although most of the fort is made of wood, but this fort is very sturdy and even resistant to fire.

As a defense, in addition to a wall that towers up to 10 Meters, at the top of the wall is attached a row of ballistas that are able to shoot arrows that are even able to kill large-bodied Mobs like the Minotaur with just one shot.

At the bottom of the fortress there is also a catapult that is able to throw large rocks high into the air which if exposed, it will be fatal. Thanks to the ideas of the Otherworlders, this catapult is not only capable of firing large rocks but also steel balls such as cannon bullets and a barrel containing explosives that will be triggered immediately when the barrel breaks.

Of course the defense of this fortress was not just that.

There are still many other defense mechanisms that will be too long if discussed now.

The fort was able to accommodate a total of 100,000 soldiers.

It was a very large capacity considering this fort was only built for a week.

On this still-unnamed fortress, the Witches from Sol Ciel finally arrived.

Led by Rosemary La Ciel, who was accompanied by Caldera as his deputy and bodyguard. They lead 100 other Magicians who have power far above other magic users.

Not to forget Rosemary also took her student, Clara. Be with him.

Walking among the other soldiers who were busy preparing for the defense, Rosemary who was supposed to go straight to the command room found her steps stopped.

It was because he saw something that he had never seen before.

"Young Miss, where are you going... Hey!"

Carried away by his curiosity, Caldera had no power to stop Rosemary's footsteps. Even Clara was to be astonished by her Master's unusual attitude.

The place Rosemary was approaching was a crowd composed mostly of Otherworlders participating in this battle.

They circled a large dark black object in a shape that Locals had never seen before. Only the Otherworlder knows what it is and what it does.

The Otherworlders who were swarming around while talking about the object were shocked when Rosemary suddenly approached them.

Although not many of the Otherworlders knew who he was, the aura and appearance that Rosemary had was more than enough to tell him that he was someone that should not be considered

paltry.

Paving the way for Rosemary, the complete form of the foreign body was finally clearly displayed before Rosemary.

It is rectangular in shape with two pairs of chain-like wheels on either side. At the top there is a kind of cylindrical snout that resembles the trunk of an elephant. His entire body was made of sturdy steel

black color that does not reflect light.

In view from above, there is a round hatch door right at the top of the object as a way to get into the sign that this object can actually be driven.

Seeing this, Caldera and Clara are both confused as to what exactly this thing is and why Rosemary becomes interested in it.

Contrary to Caldera and Clara who do not know anything, Rosemary knew clearly what objects were now in front of her.

"Tank?"

His voice is small but clear.

While the other Witches were at a loss as to what Rosemary meant by 'Tank', the Otherworlders were shocked to learn that a Locals could tell what 'Tank' was'.

No doubt the rumors have begun.

"Hey, he just said Tank right?"

"It's not wrong, he did say that"

"He's the Locals, right? How did he know?"

"Could it be that he's not actually Locals but Otherworlders like us?"

"Impossible, in addition to the cosplayers of all the Magicians in this game are the original Locals"

"And seen from anywhere, he's Locals"

Not minding the Otherworlders who were getting excited about it, Rosemary looked around before finally saying out loud to everyone.

"Say, who owns this tank?!"

Silent for a while, a man with short brown hair disheveled as well as wearing clothes like a mechanic walked out of the crowd.

Gaining the gaze of Rosemary, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, the man became nervous. But she still dared herself to raise her hand.

"That's me"

Seeing the man's appearance, Caldera and Clara thought he was a Woodworker. But from Rosemary's point of view, she knew very well what work the man had.

"Include, the representative of Sol Ciel, the Witch of Holy Light, Rosemary La Ciel"

Just realizing that he also had to introduce himself, the man was too late to answer Rosemary.

"Include also, the Chairman of the Mechanic Team, Panzer. Nice to meet Miss Witch"

"Good, then let's get straight to the main topic... Can this tank move?"

"Oh, of course. This tank we made has been tested and functioned correctly both in terms of mobility and offensive power"

Signaling with his hands, some people who were also wearing the same mechanic clothes as the Panzer then began to climb the Tank.

Drrrrtttrr....

Hearing the sound of the tank lighting up made everyone shocked at once amazed. Even Rosemary who always looked calm was unable to contain her joy and subconsciously showed a childlike innocent smile on her face.

"It really moves!"

"It's not a replica of it"

"Ah... So I want to go up"

Seeing the Tank that began to speed and maneuver in the area within the fortress made the cheers even more crowded. Even the Locals warriors who had been watching from a distance were unable to contain their astonishment when

looking at something they had never seen before capable of speeding like a horse carriage.

"As Miss Rosemary saw, our tank was very fast and agile. Not only that, our Tanks have been tested to be able to drive over difficult terrain such as muddy soil, hard rocks, to hot sand.

Although our tank still does not have an amphibious function, it means that it can move in the perarian. But we plan to continue to develop it.

For her combat power, since it is impossible to show it here, then Miss Rosemary will have to wait until our artificial tank is in action on the battlefield"

Hearing Panzer's explanation, Rosemary was no longer able to hold back her emotions.

His eyes sparkled with a wide smile clinging to his face. It is clear that Rosemary is really interested in the Tank that Panzer and his team make.

Seeing Rosemary's attitude like this, Caldera felt a bad premonition.

"Mr Panzer, you said your team made this Tank, is that true?"

"of course. Although I admit that this is not our original idea, but we managed to imitate and remake the Tank which is our weapon in the world there"

Suddenly, the smile on Rosemary's face widened.

Until making a beautiful face is no longer visible and there is only the face of a Witch (Witch) who is cunning like the one in the fairy tale.

Panzer was instantly shocked when he saw Rosemary's expression that he never thought a woman could make as beautiful as her.

Just as Panzer was about to take a step back, his shoulder was firmly gripped by Rosemary who then said.

"I have a request of you..."

At Rosemary's unexpected request, not only the Witches, but even the Otherworlders were astonished at how a Witch identical to magic wanted to be made a Tank.

...

Inside the still-unnamed fortress, precisely inside a room specially designed to be a command room. The representatives of every army in the fort have gathered

these.

The representative of Sol Ciel, the Witch of Holy Light, Rosemary La Ciel.

Representative of the Drakon Kingdom, Prince Draco Blut Drakon.

Representatives of the Ferox Kingdom, Bear Chief, Bearnard Ursa.

Representative of the Elf Race, Prince Lapelis Ast Regenwald.

Representative of the Spirit Race, Queen of the Elves, Titania.

Lastly was the representative of the Sanguine Kingdom as well as the person who obtained the mandate to become the main commander of the forces of this alliance, Prince Verfolger pes Sanguine.

The Vampire Prince stared one by one the leaders of each troop sitting at the round table.

The reason why they were all gathered here today was for the sake of talking about what strategy they would use in the battle against the Narsist Kingdom that could break out at any moment.

And why are those gathered here today not Commanders or Generals but members of the Royal Family who lead their input directly. It is to prove how serious each one is

The kingdom in response to the war this time.

The attitude of the Narsist Kingdom was already inexcusable so every other Kingdom agreed to use the war this time as an opportunity to wipe the Narsist Kingdom off the map.

Carrying on a map that had just been drawn, Prince Verfolger began this meeting.

"As you all know, the total number of our troops is 50,000 soldiers of which 80% consists of Locals while the rest are Otherworlders.

Meanwhile, from the intelligence obtained, the enemy forces numbered about 100,000 soldiers which is twice as many as our troops"

Due to the limited number of Players and not all existing Players participating in the war, resulting in the comparison between the Otherworlders and Locals on the battlefield becoming very lame.

If this happens in another game, then the game will definitely not be able to run because the name of the battle in the game must be dominated by the Players.

However, once again, Freedom 2 is not just any game. Freedom 2 is not a game but a real world.

This is what makes this battle even more painful.

Because both enemies and allies are all real people and not just a collection of computer data.

For those who do not know the truth, then their guilt is very small or even absent. However, for those in the know, they are determined to stop this war by the number of casualties

minimum possible.

Or, at least, it was the other party who should have suffered more damage.

"If we are outnumbered, but that does not mean we will lose. Even the number of enemy troops is still within our range of predictions.

Therefore I suggest for our initial strategy is to take the strategy of defending behind the protection of the fortress while reducing the number of enemies as much as possible.

After the reinforcements totaling 500,000 troops come, then we will go back to attack"

On the advice of Prince Verforger, Bearnard as the only Otherworlder in this room and their representative role immediately denied it.

"That's a good idea. Or even that is the most commonly used idea. However, it is not good to be too fixated on defense. It would take at least a month before reinforcements could be gathered"

"And what steps should we take?"

"I want to give you advice. As long as we hold on, we will simultaneously send an army composed entirely of Otherworlders to advance offensively. This is the optimal way because

surviving inside the fort for days is not our forte"

What Bearnard said was a natural thing.

Unlike Locals, Otherworlders at one time had to Log Out and leave this world or bad things would happen to their original bodies.

If they focus too much on defensive strategy, then there is a great chance that their fortress will be attacked while most of the Otherworlders are in a Log Out state. If so, then the fort defense will lack personnel who will increase their chances of losing this battle.

That's why it would be better if they went forward to attack directly because even if they were to die though, it would only take three days of game time then they would bounce back as usual.

This advice from Bearnard was immediately approved by not only Prince Draco but also Queen Titania.

Queen Titania.

Queen of the Elves (Fairy) with a beautiful face and sharp eyes. She has long red hair and wears a war dress of the same color.

Unlike the other Elves (Fairy) who are only the size of a child's palm, Queen Titania has a high-level body like a model.

"As Chief Bearnard said, it would be nice if we utilize the 'eternity' of the Otherworlders to form a special force that will focus on attacking through the enemy's defensive line. Moreover, I also want to see the performance of the 'toys' they just created"

"I also agree. This fort has just been built, even this fort still does not get its own name. In the end, it was just a wooden fortress. It could be used to last for a week alone was already a great achievement, not to mention a month. If we rely too much on this fortress that has never been tested for its survival ability, fearing only a calamity will befall us"

Hearing the opinion of Queen Titania and Prince Draco, Prince Lapelis also spoke up.

"I agree with what Queen Titania and Prince Draco have said. Being too dependent on something untested is indeed very dangerous. Moreover, if, and only if, the defense of this fortress

impenetrable. Then it was the Kingdom of the Elves who would subsequently have to be responsible for withstanding the onslaught of the Narsist Kingdom's forces so that they would not enter this Kingdom any deeper"

With everyone supporting the proposal of the Bearnard Chieftain, it was automatically his strategy that would be used in this battle.

After that they went on to discuss more details about the defense strategy and the attack strategy they will take.

In the end the strategy has been arranged and this meeting will be closed soon.

"I think so long ago for today's strategy meeting. Is there anything else you want to add?"

The witch Rosemary who had been silent while listening raised her hand. After getting the attention of everyone, he spoke.

"The spies we sent into the Narsist Kingdom have managed to obtain some important information. Please see"

Witch Caldera who fought as a deputy and assistant of Rosemary then went around distributing sheets of paper to everyone.

Looking at the contents of the paper, the Prince of Verfolger was immediately amazed by it.

He admitted that direct combat was not his expertise, but that the matter of fighting behind the scenes like sending spies was his main skill.

However, after seeing the report from Sol Ciel, he also realized that he was still young.

"As you're looking at, it's a painting of the faces of the Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses of the Narsist Kingdom Kingdom as well as other important nobles"

Getting the faces of the enemy higher-ups, everyone who was here instantly knew how valuable this information was.

In fact they were all equally thinking of sending a secret agent to enter and instantly kill everyone in the picture.

"Next, it is a border patrol line and a complete plan to infiltrate into the Narsist Kingdom via the underground city route"

Seeing this complete information, the Verfolger Prince was once again stunned by the espionage ability held by Sol Ciel. It was not wrong for them to be wary of the Witches (Witch) all this time.

"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!"

In the midst of serious discussion, Queen Titania suddenly slammed her hands into the table so hard that the surface of the table she touched was instantly charred.

Even his two eyes as well as his long hair began to emit a burning fire.

His anger which (Literally) was burning, made the room temperature hot as if they were currently inside a flaming oven.

All attention is now on him.

"Queen Titania, is there a problem?"

Seeming to lose her composure, Queen Titania spoke as if she was shouting.

"of course! What is 'All young girls are obliged to hurt their faces or the Queen will execute them'?!"

Hearing the words of Queen Titania, the others suddenly looked back at the stack of paper in their hands. After reading the contents of the customs and culture of the Narsist Kingdom, they immediately understood why the Queen

Titania could be this stew.

"This, really too..."

"They've gone too far"

"Magic mirror? Prettiest woman? What'sthis?! Snow White?!!"

"I know they crave beauty above all else. But, if their queen had done this kind of barbarism just to make her the prettiest person..."

On this information, their thoughts are in line and one.

"The Queen of Impar ol Narsist must die"

After painstakingly calming the anger of Queen Titania, they read the report back to the final line.

All eyes were on Prince Draco.

Knowing what the gaze meant, even Prince Draco could only raise his hand.

"Well, I'm gonna start telling you about my sister's betrayal"
