Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

The heavy hooves of horses trampled through the snow, leaving small potholes. The saddles and various accessories carried collided with each other while running, making crisp sounds, and quickly passed through the snow-covered forest.

Outside the Stone Forest Fortress, large and small settlement teams gathered. Most of them rode horses, carried weapons, and had different clothes and races.

The iron chain was slowly pulled, and the main gate of the fortress opened. Teams of neat warriors walked out. These warriors were dressed in uniform armor and held bayonets and muskets. They were the standing armed forces in the fortress, about hundreds of people.

After these warriors came out, the open space under the fortress became a little quiet, and then the high-ranking members of the Gray Feather Clan, who were the rulers of the fortress, came out and announced the matter of gathering everyone today.

Following the Gray Feather Clan riding a tall horse in front, Tilan was also wearing a black cloak and hood, riding a horse behind the team.

Standing on a small hill in the open space, the leading Gray Feather raised his hand, and the people behind him gradually stopped, then rode forward and glanced at the members of the settlement present.

These were the combatants of the settlement near the mountain fortress, with dozens of people at most and only five or six at least. There were hundreds of people in total, slightly more than the number of warriors in the mountain fortress, but the quality was very uneven.

"Everyone, we are gathered here today to eliminate the savage unrest in the east. Unlike usual, this time it is not a single savage migration and destruction, but there are other intelligent creatures leading them. If they are not eradicated, they will expand further and threaten our living space."

...

"For the safety of Shilinshan Fort and the settlement where you are, this action is imperative. Please follow me."

After explaining the course of events, the settlement members present did not show too much surprise. They probably heard some rumors before. Then the leading gray feather species divided the team into eight groups and searched and cleared along the route drawn on the map. If they encountered difficulties, they would immediately send a signal to ask other teams for help.

Then the gathered combatants began to act, and Heshiya stayed on horseback until most of the people had left.

"In the next few days, please ask Miss Heshiya to join us and rescue the wounded on the road." A few minutes later, the leading gray feather species rode over. He looked thin, but very energetic.

"Yes." Heshia nodded slightly. The rescue work was not difficult for her. She was just curious about what happened in the east. The series of things she encountered recently seemed to be related to that place.

"Then let's go too." As he said that, the leader of the gray feather species raised his whip and waved it in the air, summoning the remaining more than 100 people, and then rode down the mountain.

Two days later, the group arrived at the easternmost settlement of Shilin Mountain Fort.

Along the way, Heshia followed the team and saw more than a dozen settlements of different sizes. Some of them were hidden in the forest, some hid in caves, and some dug pits to live underground. The races they saw were also different in form. Some were similar to humans, with only a few differences in features. Some were only one-third the size of humans and looked like children all their lives. Some had only the simplest spears and wooden armor, while others were equipped with rifles and bulletproof vests. The living environment was also very different.

When passing through these settlements, the team would stop for a while. The leading gray feather species would talk to the members of the settlement, ask about their recent situation and surrounding intelligence, and then draw on the map to determine the trajectory of the invading forces.

They did not encounter any battles on the way, but other branch teams were different. Two teams encountered small-scale savages and were easily defeated. One team encountered a more dangerous enemy team. After the battle, both sides were injured. Two of the more seriously injured ones were sent to Heshia.

Standing in the temporary wooden tent, Heshia held a lamp to watch the injured members. He had several gunshot wounds on his chest and shoulders, which looked a bit serious, but this would be stopped after bleeding, and there was no danger of life for the time being, but the one next to him was different. A deep wound that could see the bone slashed down from the shoulder. If it were a normal person, he would have died long ago.

When facing serious injuries, the gray feather species will enter a dormant pupa state, which is why he can survive.

When he was brought here, his body was covered with a thin layer of yellow pupa shell. Even if the blood and internal organs were damaged, they were protected by the liquid in the pupa shell and did not expose or further fail, which saved his life.

After two hours of surgery and healing, Heshia put down the forceps and scalpel in her hands, took off her gloves, and walked out of the tent.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Heshia." Sigmund, who had been waiting for a long time, thanked her and then asked about the situation.

"His life was saved, but many of his internal organs were damaged and failed, and he needs extra careful care and recuperation." The girl replied.

"Judging from the form of the wound and the residual magic power, the other party is at least a Sequence 4 Transcendent. Are there many such people?"

"Very few. At present, there are only a dozen high-level Transcendents above Sequence 4 near the Stone Forest Fortress, and they all have names." Sigmund recalled.

"From their description, they encountered an opponent who used a stone axe, wore a bone helmet, and was covered in thick fur. We guessed that he was an unknown tribe in the mountains in the east." Sigmund said as he unfolded the map he carried with him to show Tilan.

The mountain where the Stone Forest Castle is located is the edge of a north-south mountain range. This wide mountain range extends to the north and east. There is relatively little pollution on the mountain range. This is because the toxic particles of the pollution at that time were mainly accumulated in the lower layer of the atmosphere. The lower the altitude, the more serious the pollution.

"So, most of the settlements and strongholds of intelligent life on this land are built on the mountains." Sigmund explained.

"The vast land in the east is wilderness, and only the places near the northern mountains may have settlements and strongholds where intelligent creatures gather."

"So, you should have some clues." The girl nodded.

"Yes, the leader Gwen has begun to gather the scattered teams."

After a relatively peaceful night, the team that Heshia followed on the second day moved northward, and other teams that had been separated began to join on the way.

On the evening of the third day, in the open space in the mountains near the hills, all the about 800 people who were dispatched this time arrived. Everyone gathered around several huge bonfires to cook dinner, and various conversations and footsteps also made the night noisy.

Sitting in a separate tent, Heshia and Orles sat together, teaching each other some relatively complex theoretical knowledge, and opened their hands, revealing the Aegika brand model with light spots wandering and shuttling, so that Orles could slowly understand.

"I understand this." After a long period of teaching, Orles nodded, indicating that she knew it.

Although she forgot a lot of things, many things have muscle memory. In addition, Orles is smart and learns quickly.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Do you want to go out for a walk?" Tilan dispersed the floating model light.

"No, I'm going to sleep." Orles didn't like the noisy environment outside, especially many members had body odor, which made Orles, who had a mysophobia, even more reluctant to get close.

"Then you go to sleep first, I'll go out and take a look." After covering Orles with a blanket, Tilan touched her cheek and then stood up.

In the night, a group of people were roasting things around the campfire, some were humming unknown ballads, and others were beating the rhythm.

Among them were new races as thin as thin bones, and new races as tall and burly as a horn on their shoulders. They each had different talents. Even if they did not systematically learn extraordinary knowledge, they could obtain some extraordinary abilities by relying on the instinct in their genes.

"That day, after I met the savages, I jumped up, glided to the back of the enemy's formation, and rushed towards the leader. The other party was obviously frightened and ran away screaming, and let several savages stop me."

"I chopped several thick-haired savages in a row and chased him for more than 100 meters on the ground. Only then did he dare to turn around and fight with me."

"At that time, I used the three-axe attack to chop off one of his arms, but this guy was not simple. He was steaming all over, and then even his breathing was like steam. When he fought back, he chopped down with a knife and almost chopped me off with the axe. I saw that the situation was not right, so I dodged several times. He was exhausted and couldn't catch up. He could only watch me leave calmly." A thin man with simple wings on his back boasted by the fire.

Standing not far away, Tilan also listened to the other party's description and guessed the enemy's race.

"Miss Heshia, are you interested in these?" A gray feather species came over. He looked to be in his 30s, wearing a dark coat. His gray-blue eyes turned and looked at the thin man who was boasting not far away.

"He actually has the blood of our Gray Feather species, but it is very thin. Only the pair of wings on his back can barely show the characteristics of the Gray Feather species. As for the enemies and opponents he mentioned, they should be the 'Boiling Blood Species'. This new species is extremely resistant to high temperatures, but I didn't expect them to appear in this land."

"In the past few days, I have seen many new species with various abilities. What I am more curious about is that it seems that only a small number of people have the ability inherited in their blood."

"Yes, most of them overlap and pollute each other's genes during reproduction, resulting in the inability to express their abilities. This type of people accounts for a considerable proportion, and their genes are therefore very unstable. They are called 'promiscuous species'. In the native natural world, hybridization generally has advantages, but the genes of new species are carefully designed. Once disrupted, the original advantages cannot be expressed, but become disadvantages."

"At present, several more prosperous species have the custom of intermarriage within the tribe, which is also a strong foundation for maintaining strength."

"I am actually more curious, which race is Miss Heshia? You don't seem to have any particularly obvious characteristics." When the other party said this, a little exploratory look flashed in his eyes.

It seems that this person is also a research maniac. The genes of the gray feather species seem to have a tendency to love knowledge, Tilan thought to herself.

"I... Actually, I don't know much about my true life experience. I only know the origin of my mother." The girl said some truth and looked into the distance.

"I used to spend a lot of time looking for answers, but there was no very clear answer. Later, I was relieved. Whether the essence of a person is defined by oneself or by blood, I think it should be the former, so I don't bother."

"Miss Heshia's ideas are very philosophical, and I agree with them. It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer people who understand philosophy and truth in this land, and most lives just follow their instincts."

"When I was a child, I also thought about what kind of ending this chaotic and decadent world would eventually lead to." He also thought of the past.

"Oh, what's your answer?" Tilan turned his head at this time, curious about the thoughts of the local gray feather species.

"Of course, I couldn't think of it at the time. I thought that the world would eventually perish, and all life would die from the spread of pollution, and only creatures without intelligence and reason would be left in the end."

"On the one hand, I occasionally feel that there should be powerful forces and individuals rising up to reunify the entire planet, and then start to clean up all the past problems, and finally move towards the galactic space again."

"The latter idea is quite fascinating, just like all the great beings in history. But as I grow older, I begin to realize that this is such a difficult task. If nothing else, it is just 50 people. There are many problems in managing new settlements. The living habits of each new race are very different. Their food preferences, daily routines, and behavioral habits must be carefully adjusted to adapt to each other. "

"Faced with such difficulties, after many attempts, I finally gave up and sent them each to their own ethnic groups, and then maintained a single-ethnic settlement."

"If someone can finally unify the entire planet, I think he will also be the leader of a single race. Such a moment of victory and greatness means that other races will be completely eliminated and suppressed."

"It's a very pessimistic thought, but reason tells me that this should be the fact. If you want to pursue the truth, you must always pay attention to objective facts."

"So, later on, I slowly felt that it would be good to maintain the status quo. Without such a 'great man', we, a scattered and weak race, can continue to live."

"What do you think? Miss Hesia."

"Me..." The girl sighed and looked at the starry sky above her head.

"I think you are right. When there are more and more members in management, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain balance. Everyone has their own ideas and thoughts, and they all think they are right."

"Do you want to respect every opinion and idea? It is destined to be full of conflicts, mutual consumption, and endless fighting."

"But if you make decisions completely arbitrarily, you will gradually lose the basis of the broad masses of the people, and eventually it will be torn apart from top to bottom, and resistance and tragedy will still happen."

She paused.

"I used to be very afraid of making mistakes and didn't dare to offend anyone. I always wanted to be a good person in everyone's eyes. But the result was that I had no persistence and no respect, and everyone felt easy to bully."

"In fact, people's personalities are not static, and neither are their thoughts." She looked at the flames flickering not far away.

“As I grow older and gain more experience, I begin to change.”

"But in the end, after thinking about it many times, I decided to follow my childhood thoughts and become a kind person."

"However, this kind of kindness is not about blind obedience and compromise. What I hope is that even a weak person can get the space and dignity to live in a just environment."

"What if someone doesn't agree with my ideas, what if someone insists on destroying the world I want, what if someone does something that I can't tolerate in front of me." Tilan closed her eyes slightly.

"I have decided that if I want to be a kind person, I must maintain this beauty with a firm and strong belief."

"Punishment is necessary. Killing is always the last but not the last resort." The countless fireworks and lives destroyed in space not long ago flashed through her mind.

If she and Blanche switched identities, would she do the same thing? The answer is, yes.

Life is precious, but if you continue to compromise for the sake of life, your life will become dull and lose its color.
