"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"I knew it!"
"I knew the White Witch had to be involved in this!"
"Activate the Protective Barrier at once!"
"Now!"
"Immediately!"
Watching the White Witches flying wildly all over the sky, Duoduo hopped in place, beside himself with rage.
And following Duoduo's order, the air defenses and Protective Barriers across every district of the city all rose up.
Though some of the domed buildings had also been destroyed, fortunately, there were not many of them.
That allowed the Protective Barrier to deploy smoothly.
And at the same time the Protective Barrier unfolded, the Magic Anti-Air Cannons designed specifically to defend against flying witches also began operating.
One magic shell after another smashed toward the White Witches flying through the air as if they cost nothing at all.
But as for things like air defense, those who knew, knew.
So-called air defense, air defense—out of ten defenses, nine hit empty air.
And that was even more true when the targets were witches with far more agile figures.
So, aside from a small number who were hit because the barrage was too dense, the other witches only needed to fly a little lower to evade those salvos.
Of course, though flying low allowed them to avoid the anti-air fire, it also meant they had to face the attacks launched from the ground head-on.
