Different from the small-scale wars that are normalized by witches, the formal declaration of war represents a large-scale war in which all witches participate.

In normalized small-scale wars, the only participants are witch criminals who have been sentenced to serve on the front line, and witch bounty hunters who come to make money. In addition, ordinary witches rarely participate, and are generally only used as a way to harass the enemy and train soldiers.

one.

But a large-scale war involving the whole people is different. Not only the standing army of witches will be dispatched, but also all witches in the witch world will be recruited.

"Angie, do you want to go?"

Miani, the earth giant witch, looked at the news on the screen, with a little longing flashing in her eyes, but then she thought about the slow progress of the project at the forward base, and her expression fell again.

Miani asked Angelia if she wanted to go to the war.

In the official war waged by witches against other worlds, only witches of the great witch level are allowed to sign up to participate.

The reason why there are restrictions is because formal war is one of the few activities that lazy witches will actively participate in.

On a normal day, the witch will suppress the urge to destroy caused by the witch's blood, and fall into the ideological struggle of wanting to kill people > being too lazy to move > wanting to kill people > or being too lazy to move, until the desire for destruction is vented by the witch in other ways, such as committing crimes,

Goblin fights and other behaviors.

If she can't bear it anymore, the witch will invite her friends to go to the front line together, or she will find an unlucky other world in the sea of ​​stars to punch her in the face and vent her anger. If that unlucky world survives, count it lucky, but it can't.

The witch won't care either.

But if it is a formal war launched by the government, even if the witches have just vented their desire for destruction, they will enthusiastically sign up to participate.

Because the official will take care of all the logistical issues along the way, the recruited witches only need to go through the portal on the Witch Star side, quickly arrive at the designated battlefield and then have a hearty fight, and they can be patted after the fight.

Go home and eat.

There is no need to consider logistics, and there is no need for combat missions such as infiltration, lurking, assault, etc. Such professional missions are all the work of the witch's standing army.

One thing the recruited witches need to do is to start fighting immediately after exiting the portal. Only in rare cases when the portal is attacked by the enemy, the witches need to rush through the farther portal.

This simple and crude method of war is very popular among folk witches, and all the seizures in the war are handled by the recruited witches themselves. It is interesting and profitable, so the witch naturally has no reason to refuse.

Therefore, in order to reduce the workload on the front line, the Witch Affairs Officer issued regulations to only allow witches of the Grand Witch level to participate in the battle, to prevent young witches who are not up to standard from wandering on the front line.

"No, at least I don't have this plan now."

Angelia's cat tail swayed excitedly, but when it heard that Angelia was not going to join the battle, it immediately swelled angrily and pouted on Angelia's face in dissatisfaction.

The cat's tail is the external expression of Angelia's inner desires, so she occasionally behaves against her owner.

A good cat witch must learn to control her ears and tail to avoid revealing her true thoughts. Angelia obviously failed in this aspect.

Angelia slapped the pouty cat's tail angrily. Do you think she doesn't want to fight? She can't go!

Witch wars are usually initiated by the Witch Council, and then the command falls into the hands of the Witch Affairs Officer of the Foreign Affairs Department.

Does Angelia think it's not conspicuous enough if she comes closer now, or is she betting that Yakumo Shizuki can't see the cat dangling in front of her eyes?

"I really want to go, but it's a pity that I can't leave."

Miani sighed.

As long as the boss agrees, the Secret Service Officer Witch can also participate in the recruitment. After successful registration, the Secret Service Officer Witch will get one day of paid leave per week, and can go to the battlefield and happily fight with pay.

"Don't worry, sister, you will have a chance."

Angelia patted Miani's arm sympathetically and rubbed her face with her cat's tail to help the poor earth giant witch get out of her sad mood.

The war will last for a long time and will not stop until the chief witches achieve what they want. If Miani can complete the construction of the forward base earlier or catch up with the progress of the project, then she can find time to go

Played on the battlefield.

"... Our witch promotion ambassador Angelia, who was responsible for stopping the demon army, is currently missing. As a result, the award from the Department of Foreign Affairs has not been claimed. The Department of Foreign Affairs believes that the ambassador may have been delayed by the accident and asked the witches to discover her whereabouts.

Be sure to urge her to come back and claim your reward.”

After reading the press release announcing the war, the host Witch suppressed a laugh and read out the above text again.

After hearing this, Angelia was so angry that she made a toothy expression toward the sky.

Because the news anchor of this issue is Angelia’s acquaintance, the little tea cat Ulinos.

She could obviously read the manuscript with an expressionless face, but she deliberately suppressed her laughter and made her feel disgusting.

Angelia took out her tablet, angrily opened Ulinos's chat panel, and sent her a bunch of cat-beating expressions.

Right? If you wait for the cat, there will definitely be no good things for you when you go back!

As for the commendation from the Department of Foreign Affairs, only a smart cat will receive it!

Angelia was not stupid. She shook her head at the curious Miani and said she didn't want to talk about it.

She sneaked away from the witch world secretly, just to skip work and wait for the chief witches to finish fighting before going back. How could she continue to jump into the fire pit?

The news program ended here, and the subsequent projection screen in the sky switched to various brainwashing short films of the witch, which made Angelia feel dizzy.

The witch in the Department of Culture is so funny. In order to encourage the family members to work hard for the witch master, they made many messy short films.

For example, a kitten worked 24 hours a day. One month later, its owner moved to a large empty island and rewarded the kitten with a bunch of dried fish...

This is a broken script. I don’t know if it can encourage the dependents...

Angelia looked at the busy construction site with melancholy, and made up her mind to be brighter when cooperating with the Department of Culture in the future. If they were tricked into making such a short film, her family would laugh to death.

Seeing that there was nothing going on at the construction site, Angelia and Miani said goodbye and then flew to Blue Star alone.

Between the advance base built by the witches and Miwe's territory, there is the Blue Star world that has no sense of existence, so Angelia has to pass by Blue Star if she wants to go to Miwe.

Moreover, Angelia still has some assets on Blue Star, and she plans to take them all away this time.

On the way to Blue Star, Angelia occasionally encountered some witches' airships and cargo ships, but there were no witches on board. They were all controlled by the artificial souls of the ships.

Dorothea opened up the permissions of the Blue Star World, allowing witches to go there to mine and collect resources. These witches' ships should have come from there.

Even though Blue Star World is just a small world, it is not simple inside.

Dorothea has testing grounds similar to those in the Abyss on many planets outside of the Blue Star. However, the technological level of the Blue Star people is too low to detect the testing grounds hidden by spells.

Otherwise, if the witches want to build a base in the barren lower level, they will have to spend a lot of effort transporting supplies from the distant upper level. The already slow construction efficiency will be cut in half at least.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Angelia."

When passing through the crystal wall of the Blue Star World, Angelia heard a welcoming voice, which surprised her.

"No. 1?"

When Dorothea was sleeping, the Abyss Realm was always managed by No. 1. It was an artificial soul created by Dorothea. Its true body was hidden in the sky of the Abyss Realm. It was an absurdly big ball. No one knew it.

Is it an electronic chip or the structure of a biological brain?

Now Angelia just passed through the crystal wall, and No. 1 discovered her traces. Apparently, No. 1's authority has been greatly enhanced, and she has been promoted from the administrator of the Abyss World to the administrator of the Blue Star World.

As a small world that Dorothea has managed for many years, her words are more effective than the will of the world here.

"It's me. It's been XX days and XX hours since we last met... No. 1 expressed that he misses her very much."

No. 1 used the electronic sound of Muha Furui to express his longing for Angelia. As for whether it was true or not, Angelia did not hear any emotional ups and downs.

After passing through the crystal wall, Angelia appeared in a bustling automated port.

The witch's ship is staying here, waiting for the unmanned machinery to load the smelted metal plates and other materials needed for the forward base. It seems that the ships that travel between the forward base and the Blue Star World are all loaded here.

goods.

Angelia observed the stars in the sky, built a 3D data model in her mind, and quickly located where she was - Mars.

In order to facilitate the shipment of goods to the Witch's ship, No. 1 will shuttle through the crystal wall to the destination of the Martian port.

After the materials in the Blue Star World are mined, they will be transported here and packed by unmanned machines and put on the ship.

"The road ahead is blocked, please clear the obstacle."

After just staying for a while, Angelia committed a crime. She blocked the path of the unmanned machine, making it impossible for the unmanned machine transporting goods to pass and could only make a rapid warning sound.

"Um, sorry..."

Angelia stuck out her tongue, flapped her wings and flew out of the way, but when the unmanned machine passed by, her unhappy cat tail would twitch.

Cat Tail was protesting to Angelia. It really wanted to fight, but Angelia ignored it, so Cat Tail could only use more force to beep the passing unmanned machine.

The AI ​​logic of the unmanned robots is very rigid, and they will only recognize one path. Even if they are met by Angelia's cat tail when walking here, they will just shrink their heads and rush over quickly.

The witch doesn't believe in alien races, so naturally she won't make something as risky as AI very smart. An AI that's too smart may give birth to self-awareness, which is an unnecessary trouble for the witch.

Instead, it is an artificial soul, and the witch will give it a certain degree of trust.

Generally speaking, the witch's work assistant is an artificial soul, and the artificial soul then commands the unmanned machinery under its jurisdiction to assist it in completing the tasks assigned by the witch.

For example, Noah, the artificial soul at the Mars mining base, initially deceived Angelia into saying that it was an AI rebellion under his command, and requested Angelia's authorization to start the weaponization of unmanned machines.

After wandering around the port for a while, Angelia quickly ran away without interest, leaving behind only a large group of unlucky unmanned machines with cat tail marks on their foreheads.

There are only artificial souls and AI-controlled unmanned machines in the port, and Angelia's stay here will only interfere with their work.

When leaving, Angelia looked at the ground of Mars from the Mars port in space, curling her lips speechlessly.

Dorothea, this lazy person, has no shame. It is directly compared to the mining base on Mars in the Witch World. The only difference is that the mining base in the Blue Star World is a miniature version.
