Chapter 2654: Chapter 885: Three-Day Miracle · For Whom Does the Hall of Valor Open? (Part 1)

Since the goal is not annihilation, once the explosives are destroyed, the Witch Hunters can take advantage of the chaos to retreat.

This hit-and-run tactic maximizes the swift traits of the nature believers, at least in this swamp, the Wolf People cannot catch up with them at all.

But just as the attack on the ninth target was about to be completed, unexpected news was delivered to Norman and Porter by the Druids.

"What? A transportation convoy from the Blood Scar Clan is heading this way?"

Porter wiped the blood off his face and asked loudly:

"Can you confirm that?"

"Yes!"

The Druid Sister with a scar on her face, who had previously accompanied the Big Bird Team to monitor the changes in the swamp, adjusted her breathing. She had flown across the entire swamp in her swift hawk form to deliver the message and was very tired, but replied with a solemn tone:

"We confirmed this situation through the Beast’s Eye in the swamp. It’s a massive transportation convoy, escorting a large amount of explosives. After entering the swamp, they split into two groups, one heading towards Klim Fortress, and the other is heading here.

If we let those explosives reach the hands of the Wolf People, the sacrifices we’ve made over the past two days, the fierce battle at the Lord’s position, and the heroic deaths of some brave Immortals will all be in vain.

We must prevent this outcome, we must intercept that transportation convoy."

"What do we have to intercept them with?"

Porter retorted:

"Look behind you, Druid. Our two teams that started with nine hundred people are now less than half! If that convoy is as massive as you say, stopping them would require an army, like those Undying Spirits who, two days ago, destroyed all those explosives with their fearless assault."

The Druid also fell silent.

She knew she was asking for something difficult, but the silent Norman spoke up at this moment:

"Can you still fly?"

"Yes, but..."

The Druid wanted to ask but was stopped by Norman who reached out, speaking calmly through his mask:

"You are to immediately move towards the Goat Man town in the southeast of the swamp. It’s also under siege by the Wolf People but is still holding on. Get to the Star Mage Tower in that town and find Paul. I don’t care how they do it!

I need them to initiate another Star-world Tear!

This is currently our only viable plan, capable of taking out that transportation convoy in the shortest time possible."

"That thing requires calculating the position, without mapped coordinates they need precise targeting!"

Porter shuddered, grabbing Norman’s hand and exclaimed:

"What are you planning to do?"

"I only intend to perform a soldier’s final duty, it’s time to make more sacrifices to end this war."

Norman cut his finger, letting the blood flow into a green seed, which he handed to the Druid Sister, explaining:

"And don’t think I’m going alone, Porter. You’re not getting away, you need to take me and your team, with the Druids’ cooperation, and intercept in front of the convoy, forcing them to stop moving.

I will seize the opportunity to approach from behind, and when I’m close enough, my position will become the target mark for the Star-world Tear."

"I can do this!"

Porter heard ominous undertones in Norman’s words, he said:

"Leave it to me! You lead the Witch Hunters to intercept at the front."

"Don’t be foolish, what about your two kids if you die?"

Norman, with a hint of determination, shook his head and said:

"Go! Deliver the message and have Paul ready."

He told the Druid Sister, who, from Norman’s words, perceived his unshakeable resolve.

After a very formal farewell ceremony, the Druid took the targeting seed and took off again, flying swiftly towards the southeast in the blazing light of the Wolf People’s burning formation.

The message was also swiftly delivered to target number eight through the Druids’ plant communication network. Natalie, who had just completed a surprise attack with her Watcher, became sullen upon hearing Norman’s decision. Beside her, Ambo immediately planned to stop him, gathering this heavily wounded group of Witch Hunters to advance towards the interception location.

It was impossible for just Norman and Porter’s team to hold off that convoy for long, they had to go and provide support.

"But why is Norman doing this?"

On the move, Ambo was perplexed, she said:

"Isn’t he the one among us who should most look forward to the future and a new life? Just like he always encouraged us in the past, the war will eventually end..."

"Mr. Crow had two ’long-term clients’ plagued by mental issues, one was me, the other was Norman. I never intended to tell you this secret, but it was only after hearing Mr. Crow’s analysis that I understood, the optimism Norman displayed wasn’t reflective of his true thoughts, Ambo.

Sometimes the bravest looking person is actually the most sensitive."

Natalie, riding on the Maple Saddle, whispered:

"Norman just made the final decision at the right time, even without this unexpected situation, he would most likely see this war as his endpoint, it’s truly unfortunate, Dr. Crow trying to save two people only managed to save one in the end.

Norman’s treatment failed."
