"The remaining two keys to unlock the shackles are suppression and the need to make hundreds of witches with greater power than oneself pledge their loyalty."
"And vastness, requiring me to expand the area I protect to be large enough to cover an entire empire."
"Only in this way can I step into the end, or at least halfway into the end."
Jiang Kehan replied in this way.
Unlike the Great Witch's process of regaining her power, the End is a completely new realm where only will and instinct have the right to make a sound.
All of this is inextricably linked to the witch herself, rather than being a gift from her race that preceded her transformation from a little witch to a great witch.
Therefore, the power gap between the End and End is completely illogical.
The weakest of the End can be defeated by multiple Great Witches, while the most powerful among them are capable of rivaling entire nations.
“Oh?” Angela nodded slightly, then tapped the long table lightly with her fingers, lost in thought.
“Suppression is easy. With your combat strength, you are enough to subdue many third-stage Great Witches.”
"Besides, what you deserve praise for is not just your so-called combat strength."
Jiang Kehan was aware of this, so she had no doubt that she could reach the third stage of perfection before her duel with Eva Carson.
But the other condition is much more difficult.
Angela clicked her tongue, clearly not having any better ideas.
After all, while the "Sun Never Sets" system is relatively loose and suitable for Jiang Kehan's development, it is precisely this looseness that means only truly important events can be quickly disseminated throughout the country.
This would continuously expand Jiang Kehan's influence, giving her an opportunity to subdue other witches.
Angela's influence is limited – after all, she never participates in domestic factional struggles and rarely speaks out.
"The Witch Tournament is at the end of the year, but the war will end much sooner, so it is unrealistic to think that the end can be achieved through witch duels."
Angela gazed at Jiang Kehan, and suddenly had a good idea. She calmly stood up, curled the corners of her lips, and then slowly looked at Jiang Kehan.
"However... we can create momentum."
"Building momentum?"
Jiang Kehan looked up with some confusion. She looked at Angela, who had an indifferent demeanor, just like the unruly monarch of the past. For some reason, she swallowed the question in her mouth.
"Yes, to create momentum."
Angela raised her head slightly, then strode forward, standing somewhat smugly by the window, letting the sunlight fall on her, making her silver hair look sharp and noble.
"Since it's difficult to achieve our goal outside the battlefield, why not try a different approach?"
"You can step onto the battlefield first, and then achieve your goal."
As Jiang Kehan pondered, she also stood up, gazing at the dazzling Angela before her, whose smile was enigmatic, waiting for her to continue.
Angela's eyes lit up. When she saw Jiang Kehan get up, she strode over to her and pressed down hard on Jiang Kehan's shoulders.
"Although Eva Carson is absolutely one of the best in intelligence."
"But in the early stages of your journey into the battlefield, if Sherlock Mikfan keeps harassing you, it will be quite difficult for him to extricate himself. This is the difference brought about by sheer strength."
The advantage of intelligence is a process of continuous accumulation. Even Eva would need time to set up a meticulous plan to hold off Sherlock Mikkelsen.
"And this is your opportunity."
"Kehan, war heroes are always the most captivating to other witches. As long as we keep promoting you before you even participate in the war, everyone's attention will be on you in advance."
"As long as you can keep turning the tide and winning in the early stages, constantly crushing your opponent, you don't need anything more!"
"That would be enough to establish your image throughout most parts of the empire."
"Then, with the help of me and Celia, who is also the 'Big Boss Meow' you mentioned, the end is just around the corner!"
And the dawn of victory will fall upon you.
Angela laughed heartily, gazing triumphantly at Jiang Kehan, as if to say—go and prove yourself, my subject.
Your eternal king, your unruly conqueror, has already laid out a vast carpet for your glory.
Thus, in Nova's eyes, Angelette launched her first attack on Jiang Kehan.
Chapter 482 I will grip the spear tip tightly, even if crimson stains fall from my palm.
Jiang Kehan looked at Angela, who seemed frivolous yet had everything firmly in her grasp, and was momentarily speechless.
Don't be fooled by how casually they make it sound; creating momentum is inherently a gamble.
If Jiang Kehan can perform well in Eva's hands, then it's fine, but if...
If she is not careful and is swept out by Eva, not only will her reputation suffer in recent years, but Angela's own reputation will also be ruined.
And it will be very serious, especially for Angela, who was the one who initiated the campaign.
Occupying the public eye is a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to the entire empire, where it involves prematurely announcing things that haven't happened yet, but are only possible.
Witches tend to be serious about public opinion, even though they may seem to pursue entertainment in their daily lives.
But in reality, witches are a race that seeks truth and self-discovery.
They have always abhorred inaccurate information, because such information can indeed cause them various losses.
Even when faced with the greatness of spreading false information, they dare to curse and even confront it head-on in real life.
This is also related to the rather unique political model of the British Empire, where their reputation is almost directly linked to their credibility.
If it is corrupted, daily interactions and certain clandestine transactions will be negatively affected.
In the worst-case scenario, it's possible that Jiang Kehan would be eliminated by Eva Carson as soon as she entered the game.
The Witch of the Never-Setting Sun probably wasn't too surprised by Jiang Kehan's performance. After all, for a great witch to challenge something so great was simply a pipe dream.
—If this hadn't been announced by another great propagandist.
Therefore, they would only target Angelie, especially since the war affected not only Jiang Kehan, but also the reputation of the British Empire during the war.
Representing the entire empire!
They created such a huge momentum, only to make themselves a laughing stock for other empires?
This is intolerable! Sisters, let's charge! Let's curse Angela, this tyrant of the old era, to death! Yay!!!
Angela was already one of the most unconventional types of witches; her reputation was mixed.
Her current glory is solely due to her reputation, which has always clearly distinguished her from the empire.
Personally, Angela was tyrannical, incompetent, and even inept at governing the country at one point... although it was later confirmed that most of her policies involved the dark side of the empire and were not made public.
But that doesn't change the fact that she is a character worth criticizing.
To the Empire alone, Angeli was like the sun hanging high in the sky, beyond reproach, open and vast.
Therefore, no matter how willful she was, the other nobles would still maintain their original respect for her.
Once things go wrong involving the Empire's reputation, Angela will likely lose her aloofness and, like Sherlock Mikfan, will have to constantly mingle with various factions.
While the Great Ones are primarily responsible for foreign affairs, this does not mean they have no influence domestically. There is plenty of room for maneuver within their ranks, and Sherlock Mikkelsen has suffered greatly from this relentless pressure.
After all, there's never a shortage of bad deeds done with good intentions.
Encountering a chattering idiot only ruins your mood, and you can't just turn around and leave immediately.
Sometimes, Sherlock Mikkelsen would even mock himself as a brick in the sun that never sets, either sacrificing himself or on his way to knocking out idiots.
Impressive.
Whoever ends up in this situation has tormented themselves to some extent, a mixture of love and hate.
In fact, apart from Angeli and Shining Lilith being complete slackers, the other great ones were all tormented quite a bit, and in private gatherings, they wished they could beat up all those idiots.
Therefore, Angela has essentially staked her future happiness on Jiang Kehan.
Unfortunately, if they win the bet, only Jiang Kehan will reap the rewards, while if they lose, only Angela will suffer.
It was almost a worthless gamble for Angela.
But is it really worthless?
Jiang Kehan looked at Angelie's slightly bowed head and her open arms laughing, and knew exactly what was going on.
This tyrant did not consider the consequences of failure; she was only smug and pleased with her own cleverness.
She's a bit narcissistic.
Jiang Kehan complained helplessly, but her tone of voice unconsciously softened.
"Are you really sure?" she asked, gazing intently at Angelie.
Angela tilted her head, raising an eyebrow as if in doubt: "Otherwise what?"
She acted as if she had no idea of the consequences, but the three people present all knew that there were no fools among them, only foxes who were all more cunning than the other.
Jiang Kehan nodded and accepted.
"Then let's do as you say. Do I need to take any action?"
The solemn and positive response meant that Jiang Kehan did not dodge, but instead grasped the tip of Angelie's charging gun and said this.
"I will definitely hold this so-called victory in my hands, even if it means shedding blood."
They smiled at each other, both understanding what the other meant.
Since Angeli trusts her so much, she will repay her with victory. As for feelings?
Remember it in our hearts, never forget it, and... respond with equality after victory is achieved!
Before this, everything was illusory; the witch's love allows no mercy.
Jiang Kehan doesn't consider herself an emotional little girl. In fact, she tilts her head slightly and smiles like another rising star who has never hesitated or retreated!
Nova nodded in satisfaction. Angelie had won by a narrow margin today, and Jiang Kehan hadn't lost either.
So, who really lost? It's hard to guess.
However, even though Nova wanted to continue watching the two clash, as the head maid, she stepped forward, bowed slightly, and spoke.
"Gentlemen, if you're going to attend the ball tomorrow, there are some details we need to discuss in advance."
"So please continue enjoying your afternoon tea, and we can chat more in detail later, and..."
A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she spoke, as if looking down at someone.
