Capítulo 1716: Chapter 838: Infighting (Part 2)

“I think it’s feasible; this method is indeed more secure.”

Regarding what Gaven pointed out, that there may be traitors among the Laiserman Witches, these Witch Councilors not only did not oppose it but acted even more extremely.

Because they understand better than Gaven the methods of their Dark Sisters, the Laiserman Kingdom experiences considerable turmoil internally every so often, much of which is due to these Dark Sisters secretly causing trouble, using various means to corrupt, erode, and control the Totem Spirit, witches, and The Fearless.

They infiltrate everywhere, making it difficult to defend against them. As long as people have desires and secrets, they can become pawns or even puppets in their hands.

Once the plan was finalized, the remaining tasks were simple. The Laiserman Witch Councilors quickly assembled, complementing each other’s abilities, ready to act.

The first to take action was the Water Spirit Witch. However, instead of planting the Water Totem Fruit, it was to partially freeze Lake Asen.

Even Gaven, the originator, was unclear about the disturbances that might arise from planting these Totem Fruits, or whether it would provoke the Tukan People and Dark Witches into taking more extreme actions.

Thus, even though they had the advantage of playing on their home turf underwater in Lake Asen, they dared not prepare in advance and waited for the other three routes to act simultaneously.

Whether it’s Sunrise Volcano in the Sunrise Mountain Range, the mountains on the Mosantiel Peninsula, or the Northern Plateau, none are easy places to reach, especially when carrying a large number of captives. Even though the Tukan People began their movement three days ago, it would take at least two or three more days to reach their destinations.

The first two need not be discussed further, but the Northern Plateau is worth mentioning.

While looking at the terrain map of The Eastern Desolation previously, Gaven was once worried whether the Tukan People might feign the main effort while sneaking through alternate paths—publicly confronting the Laisermen at Lake Asen while secretly dividing forces and bypassing through the North into the Nafir Kingdom, then attacking the Great Valley and the Laiserman Army from the side.

When this concern was mentioned to the Laiserman Witches, it provoked a burst of laughter. They didn’t bother with unnecessary words and directly took him there for an inspection, completely dispelling Gaven’s doubts.

The overall terrain of the Laiserman Kingdom is already sufficiently high, with an average altitude of over 3,000 meters and very noticeable plateau climate.

The Northern Highlands are even more brutal, with an average altitude reaching 5,000 meters. Not only is the temperature difference between day and night extreme, but the terrain disparities are even greater, with cliffs hundreds of meters high everywhere. A detour aims for tens of kilometers, and even those familiar with the terrain easily get lost here, let alone strangers.

A small group of elites can indeed sneak over from this direction, but for hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians to bypass here, they must be prepared for significant casualties.

In comparison, freezing Lake Asen is a better option.

“The wind’s picking up, the wind’s picking up, finally the wind’s picking up. This is a blessing from the Everlasting Heaven; it will help us open the gates to advance westward and bring us endless wealth and women.”

Countless Tukan People crawled out from their tents, reaching out to feel the Piercing Cold Wind in the air, their words filled with undisguisable excitement.

They’ve been stalled at Lake Asen for long enough, their herds visibly withering away. For such a far-flung expedition, they fear this kind of stalemate the most, as it will drag them down alive.

The brutal cold wind from the Endless Wilderness will drain Lake Asen of its temperature, completely freezing it.

Soon, something even more cheerful happened for those Tukan People; not only over Lake Asen, but even above the vast encampments of the Tukan Army, giant snowflakes began to fall.

Their thoughts are very simple; snow represents colder weather, increasing the likelihood of the lake surface freezing.

“What are those witches across doing? Were they not manipulating the weather earlier, trying to delay the freezing time of the lake surface? Why suddenly manipulate the weather actively, accelerating the freezing of the lake surface?”

“There’s always something strange in abnormal circumstances. With them doing this, there must be a conspiracy. No matter what the enemy plans, we should oppose it; we should send people to disperse the snowstorm.”

“Foolish, this is an extremely foolish idea. We should find out what’s truly happening and then fully utilize it, as the early freezing is an extremely favorable thing for us.”

“No matter what the opponent may be planning, our most urgent need now is to assemble the army and be ready to cross the lake at any time. Once we cross this natural barrier, our army will be unstoppable, with opportunities to plunder more cities and wealth. Otherwise, with spring approaching next year, we would have to obediently retreat to the path of Endless Wilderness.”

Compared to those delightful and cheering ordinary Tukan People, the Chieftains and Leaders gathered in front of Khan Yamun’s tent from the various Tukan Tribes were arguing loudly and beyond control.

Because they possess information that ordinary Tukan People do not have, the current drastic weather changes are certainly influenced by natural factors, but more so by human manipulation.

This isn’t surprising; the key problem is that this isn’t the work of their own Spellcasters but rather the actions of those Laiserman Witches across the lake, which stirs unrest in their hearts.

“No matter what schemes those witches are preparing, before absolute Strength, all is futile; let us Tukan Warriors crush all their schemes and plots.”

“It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to use it, and now is the time for them to showcase their bravery.”
