1048: Chapter 616 Ghost Witch’s Oath 1048: Chapter 616 Ghost Witch’s Oath “What ti is it now?
And you’re still worried about a ring?” the Sea Hag’s voice was as ugly and unpleasant as her appearance.
When she spoke, her mouth split to the back of her jaws, exposing all her sharp teeth and the grimace on her face.
“No matter what thods they’ve used, that fool Kurgor has completely turned to their side now.
That fat dragon might not be too bright, but it’s undeniable, she has very unique abilities in water.
The Lizardfolk Army is also far superior to ours in strength.
We are now more than seventy kiloters from the Far Sea Marsh.
We won’t make it halfway before we’re caught by the Lizardfolk Army she leads.
The mont we are caught will also mark the annihilation of our Amphibious Army.”
After hearing the Sea Hag’s analysis, the Green Hag couldn’t help but montarily put aside her dissatisfaction with the Night Hag, showing a worried expression.
“Not only that, if we lose the amphibious troops, it’s very likely they will seize the opportunity to attack the Far Sea Marsh and try to uproot us completely.”
The Night Hag bared her teeth in a terrifying smile.
“If they really dare to do so, it will be just the opportunity for to test the true power of the Realm of Nightmare.
I’ll make sure they can co but never return.”
“The Realm of Nightmare is powerful, indeed, but after all, it’s not our strength entirely.
How to dig out that little thing from the depths of the Realm of Nightmare is already a headache.
If we send a large number of souls in, won’t that be asking for trouble?
Won’t it slow our pace in gaining true power?” The Green Hag disagreed with the Night Hag’s activation of the Realm of Nightmare.
It was not just for the reason she had ntioned, but also because the Night Hag’s innate ability to manipulate nightmares gave her absolute control over the study of the Realm of Nightmare.
The internal balance of the Ghost Witch Assembly was now perilously close to collapse.
Whether it was the growing power of the Realm of Nightmare itself or the Night Hag’s further research, an alliance with the Sea Hag was barely enough to oppose her.
Ultimately, they might end up as objects of her manipulation and enslavent.
The relationship between these hags was like the broken boat they were currently aboard, patched up just enough to keep from sinking.
Close companionship was out of the question, as each had her own scheming plans.
“That’s right.
Even if we employ the Realm of Nightmare, if there are a large number of soldiers to complent it, its power can be even more trendous.
We must not give up our military strength in our hands until the last mont,” the Sea Hag unequivocally sided with the Green Hag this ti.
The Ghost Witch Assembly was not ford by two or four mbers but precisely by three.
Not only were they limited by the laws of magic, but they were also restricted by their vile characters.
If more than three hags gathered together, instead of forming a stronger coven, they would beco weaker, as much of their energy would be spent on mutual manipulation.
Three—a balanced number—allowed for one of them to act as a lever to maintain equilibrium when the other two were in conflict.
There were many such thods of balance, not limited to one.
Just like now, the two hags at a disadvantage joined forces without prior consultation to oppose and check the one considered most powerful.
This was among their most commonly used strategies.
In their eyes, the threat of one’s own companions far outweighed that of any enemy.
Even if the Lizard Queen’s Lizardfolk Army was close at hand, they still prioritized counterbalancing each other.
Fools.
The Night Hag cursed inwardly.
If it weren’t for those two dragging her down, she would have already taken that treasure in the Far Sea Marsh, mastered the Realm of Nightmare, and glimpsed the path to the Nightmare God.
But leaving those two behind, relying solely on her own power was also insufficient.
She had to grit her teeth and tolerate their foolishness, proposing a compromise: “We are certainly no match for that stupid dragon in water, but once her army reaches land, their strength will be greatly reduced, especially since we have an Abyssal Jackalweres Legion waiting ashore.
If we rge the two armies and retreat slowly back to the Far Sea Marsh, then fortify it completely, we can watch the changes in the wind and rain from here.”
“This thod is feasible.
The strength of the Conqueror Army is far beyond our original expectations.
To ensure the safety of our main force is our greatest victory now.”
“Our deploynt this ti was a bit hasty.
Look at the Dark Castle.
From beginning to end, they’ve only pushed those Monster Tribes as cannon fodder, never deploying their own forces at all.
No matter how the situation changes here, they remain in an invincible position.”
“Being in an invincible position doesn’t an life is easy.
After the Bridge of Faith of the Conqueror Army is established, do you think they will just demolish it?
They will surely build a city here.
By then, the High Road and the East Road leading to Koer will be connected.
If things go as expected, the Conqueror will be titled Rockland Duke before the Conqueror Army officially enters the Rocklands.
At that ti, the situation in Rocklands and the Goblin Margins will undergo drastic changes.
The Dark Castle’s planning here over the years will be disrupted, even overturned.”
“Not only will Dark Castle have a hard ti then, but so will we.
So, my dear sisters, you should make every effort to help fully decipher the Realm of Nightmare and find my disobedient daughter.
Only then can we stop being trapped in this marsh.
Not to ntion the whole of Toril, even the entire Multiverse would be ours to manipulate.
Wouldn’t you want to see with your own eyes how the humans despair and struggle in their dreams, yet find no escape?
Wouldn’t you want to erode their sanity and flesh bit by bit through nightmares, shaping them into whatever we desire, turning them into puppets and tools in our hands?”
