Age of Adepts

South Coast of the Coffee Continent, Echo Islands.

This is a huge reef archipelago adjacent to the coastline.

Due to the tide, this reef archipelago sank at sea level for much of the year. Only in September and October, when the storm season is approaching, will the reef islands emerge as taboo waters that all sailors will not dare to step on easily.

So this echo archipelago was exploited by the white witches to build a steady forward camp that continued to invade the Coke Continent.

The Elves were not unaware of the harm done to them by the Echo Islands, but they were helpless.

The only perennial Fruit Dew on the main island above sea level, heavily lined by witches with defensive and aggressive witch formations, combined with a 3rd class high-ranking witch sitting town, will cost the elves more than they can imagine to pull it out.

Besides, the Echo Islands are still sixty or seventy miles from the mainland, and if the elves want to attack the main island, they can only launch huge navies and empty rides. And once the Pokémon Navy was launched, the canine teeth around the Echo Islands sank beneath the surface of the reef, turning out to be a nightmare in their battle.

As for elf empty rides, most flying horses and horny eagles are physically unsupported if they start off on the nearest south coast and fly 60 or 70 miles to surround witch strongholds with strong fortresses. So the Echo Islands witch outpost camp has existed for a hundred or two years and has not been uprooted by the elves.

And all the elves can do is build a new elf city, Green Water City, near the nearest coastline to the Echo Islands, where a powerful Legion of Elves, the Windmill Force, is stationed to counter witch incursions.

This Windmill unit encompasses virtually all the flying air units in the Elf Kingdom, from low-order flowers to high-order green fairies, from low-order flying horse knights to high-order silver flying horse knights, as well as packs of Horn Eagle Beast Archers, Chimera Beasts, Wind Eagle Assault Squads...

As long as they are flying beasts that can be found in the Coke Continent, they can be seen in Green Water City.

Together with a large number of low-order Druids and the jungle partners they summon, if the witches dare to enter Greenwater City, the first thing they need to face is flying warcraft that covers the sky and the earth.

With Green Water City and huge wind walker forces, the witches' invasion on the south coast revealed loud thunder and small raindrops that seemed a little weak.

And after Dark Witches and White Witches entered the Echo Islands far across the ocean, in the face of the heavily guarded Green Water City, only some witch teams could be dispatched around the Green Water City area to make a little noise. As a result of the presence of the Windmill Force and the internal relocation of elf villages around the coastline, the harvest of the witch squads has been modest and entails immense risks to their lives.

It also dragged down the Sorceress's war gains invisibly, causing serious grievances from the Dark Sorceress across the border!

Especially the Dark Sorceress of the 3rd Order, who led the team, almost quarreled with the White Sorceress.

Usa led the team this time, carrying the heavy entrustment of the witch leader. In addition to bringing back a small group of elves to the Dark Witches, he also managed to obtain the water of the Demon Springs, the highest sacred object of the Feima clan.

The Dark Witches' expansion in the shadow is going well, and there is an urgent need to migrate into a high-end intelligent life group that can reproduce itself and choose it, discovering that it is still the Fine Forest Pokémon provided by the White Witches that is most appropriate.

However, the elves regularly captured by the White Witch from Fane's position are either elf warriors or elf archers, almost all of them physically strong and suitable for training as warriors. This may be a little inconsistent with Dark Witch expectations.

The Dark Witches would prefer an entire group of Elves, including the elderly, children and women and children, with a minimum number of 400. This makes it easier for witches to observe and experiment with the invasion process of shadow positions in the face of alien intelligent biological communities.

As for the Flying Horse Demon Springs, that is the key to the ability of the Magic Forest of the Coke Continent to continuously create the Warcraft Flying Horse. Pregnant flying horses or silver flying horses are said to be true beast flying horses only if they return to their holy place Demon Springs and quote Demon Springs Water, otherwise only ordinary Mustangs will be born.

This strange manifestation, of course, also arouses the witches' curiosity.

Recently, Dark Sorceress is planning to cultivate a suitable group of flying Sorceress Beasts and is eager to acquire some Demon Spring Water for research.

However, the Flying Horse Demon Springs is far deep in the Central Mountains, which is also an area heavily defended by the elves, so the Dark Witches, although anxious, do not dare to make it easy, they can only find a way to slow it down.

Therefore, there is no act of large-scale manoeuvre on the outskirts of the Coffee Blue Continent of the White Witch. The Third Dark Witch Usa has long been intolerable and cannot wait to part ways with them at an early date.

Yet at this point, she was surprised to receive an invitation to battle that struck her heart.

The battle invitation came from Alice.

Since the outbreak of the 'Witch Disaster', Alice, the Destiny Witch leader, has bullied herself into the Coke Continent with a powerful floating ship, breaking away from the fleet of white witches. For this huge metallic fortress, which has progressed with ease, the witch branch of the sideline has long been envious.

However, the amount of magic crystals consumed at every moment is astonishing enough for a giant floating ship that wants to fly in the air for a long time and to fight deep into the enemy zone. So, not without such means, the bystander witch is powerless to support such a terrible crystal depletion.

As for the Destiny Witch, the Destiny Tower itself has been sealed for thousands of years, and the number of Demon Crystals accumulated must be staggering, so they can so luxuriously destroy the Demon Crystal in a short period of time to compensate for defects in their combat power. For this, the other series of witches, though envious, are not much surprised.

Alice's Destiny Witches have been breaking into the Coke continent for half a month, and there will certainly be some gains. But with their team, there is not even a 3rd level witch in the queue. I think it must have bled to the head when the elves fought back!

Now that Alice has taken the initiative to invite the Dark Sorceress to work with them, it looks like she must have suffered a lot.

With silk teasing and contempt, Dark Witch Usa accepted Alice's invitation to fight without any hesitation.

…………

October 12, 10471.

Two light Elf battleships patrolled the periphery of the Echo Islands.

Compared to large human seaships, the Elf Battleship is slightly smaller in size, narrower in hull, and has a flatter upper deck with a number of Elf-specific remote magic - bird winged crossbows.

Such Pokémon warships are obviously not suitable for deep sea areas with large wind waves, so they cannot sail far. But offshore areas close to the shoreline have become the most common battleship in the Pokémon Navy due to the advantages of faster speeds and flexible steering.

It's a sunny afternoon.

Blue skies are washed and sea breezes are customary.

Two Pokémon battleships are cruising around the edge of Reef Island, admiring the beautiful and stunning ocean views, watching the witches move on the Echo Islands not far away.

On top of their ships, from time to time, they take off some winged flying horses, with a Pokémon knight equipped with a single-barrel mirror, watching the perimeter silently from above altitude.

Snow white stallions, wide, white wings, and a flat and elegant attitude earn these flying horse knights the eye of all. Pokémon warriors wave their greetings to the Flying Horse Knight on both sides of the Pokémon ship.

These warcraft flying horses, though magnificent, are far less physically powerful than other flying warcraft, so they are often only responsible for monitoring airspace security within three or five miles of the Pokémon warship. Alerts in farther spaces are often handled by enduring Horn Eagle Archers.

Today the sea conditions are so good, the blue sky of the sea is infinite, so the wary flying horse knights suddenly rise and play the old trick of diving and treading around the elf warships. A healthy flying horse with a Pokémon knight diving from a height of two or three hundred meters suddenly pulled up horizontally at a moment approaching the sea. The unmatched white flying horse stepped on a rolling wave and walked in between waves and fluctuations.

This exciting scene immediately sparked a moment of cheer from the Pokémon, who even drilled a number of black dots in the tall architectural fortress that echoed the main island in the distance and looked this way remotely.

Hidalis wiped away the wave bubble that splashed on his face and raised the flight altitude again in the cheering hands of the elves. The silver flying horse beneath his crotch climbed so hard that it finally reached the side of the Knight Hegus, who soared over the 100-meter height.

“Aren't you going to go down and play for a while? It's rare to come to the Echo Islands, and the witches don't dare to come out easily, just to loosen up our old buddies. During this time it was stuffy in the cabin and the bones were rusting...” Hidalious asked softly, his eyes filled with intense confusion.

Most of the Pokémon's empty riders have been redeployed to Greenwater City, where even several powerful Pokémon gods are stationed. The ‘Witch Disaster' that broke out this year was strangled from its source by the elves, and so far the attacking cohorts of witches have not even had a chance to set foot in the elves' homes.

As for the sporadic witch squads who dive into the Coke continent at night, they will never escape the pursuit of the Pokémon Windmaker Army and the Pokémon Powerful.

So psychologically, Hidalis didn't care about the witches in front of him.

Again this year, the witches are said to have focused their attacks on the human-dominated Fine continent, which is nothing but a bluff. So, as long as we survive the four months of recession, until the storm blows deep in the ocean, the witches will have to return to that evil island of Shadow.

At that time, the Echo Islands will also be swallowed up by soaring sea water and sunk again beneath the surface.

Without this powerful outpost, it won't be that easy for the witches to invade the Coke Continent again.

Just as Hidalys had an unmatched ‘harassment’ of Hegus, the character of a somewhat stubborn silver flying horseman knight suddenly shook himself, pulling a silver glittering single-lens out of his waist and holding it far in front of him to the other side of the ocean.

“Alert… Alert…… Enemy attack! ”

The next moment, Silver Pegasus Knight Hergus suddenly pulled the stinging enemy siren he was wearing...
