Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Riding on the dragon's back, returning in the direction she came from, she occasionally stroked the pale young dragon beneath her, checking the condition of the two creatures.

'You guys, this time you met your match, didn't you? You're usually so lazy.'

Then, Tilan took the time to help the two young dragons analyze the shortcomings in the recent battle, along with areas for improvement. As her voice faded, the girl slowly disappeared into the depths of the dark cave.

...

In the following three days, the star clusters led by various songstresses continuously occupied one unclaimed stronghold after another, acquiring various resources and a large number of points, while gradually making contact with the neutral forces in the area.

As time passed, the number of unoccupied strongholds dwindled, and the distribution maps of the star clusters became increasingly clear.

In the meeting room within the Concealment cave, the member responsible for intelligence detection inserted the chip card into the projection base, and a huge holographic map emerged, now marked with small points, which then coalesced into different territories.

"The current situation is becoming clear. Based on our drone reconnaissance, the entire competition area can be roughly divided into the following forces."

"First is the Ores affiliated star cluster occupying the northern snow-capped mountains, with approximately 17 strongholds under their control, they are powerful, and it is said they have a giant dragon."

"Next is the Red Flame Cluster led by Prin in the western plateau, owning 15 strongholds, slightly inferior to Lady Ores."

"Following that is Lady Shui Yanqing in the southwest, centered on the jungle, whose star cluster currently has 10 strongholds, and their strength is acceptable."

"Then there's the faction of Lady Blanchi in the east, occupying about 11 strongholds, with considerable strength."

"The weakest should be the star cluster led by Lady Audrey, with only 7 strongholds, still in the Central District, surrounded by enemies."

"As for us, we currently hold 9 strongholds, with our main base located in the southern mountain gorge, easy to defend and hard to attack."

"According to information from the airborne reconnaissance unit, Prin has already engaged in battle with the star cluster led by Shui Yanqing, but both sides haven't committed their full forces, instead testing each other's strength."

"Who's currently gaining the upper hand?" Tilan, sitting in the meeting room, asked curiously.

"Although the members led by Lady Prin have stronger individual combat abilities and quite a few affiliated forces offering assistance, the battlefield situation shows they haven't gained much advantage. It seems Lady Shui Yanqing has endowed her star cluster members with special divine protection, allowing them to collaborate efficiently and possess special abilities to avoid being burned by the magic flames of the Red Flame Cluster."

"I see..." Tilan pondered quietly.

It seems each songstress has her own trump card, simply unnecessary to use usually, and they wouldn't easily display them to each other.

During this competition, some real abilities and trump cards gradually reveal themselves.

"Lady Tilan, what do you think we should do now?" The other members in the meeting room looked expectantly at the black-haired girl sitting at the head.

"Let's wait and see, but if any special situations arise, we can provide intelligence assistance to Audrey and Shui Yanqing."

"Their opponents are relatively strong and will accept our goodwill. Moreover, we need them to hold out a bit longer to complete the preparations."

"Salante, is your engineering team ready?" The girl glanced at a member in the meeting room.

"President Tilan, we've preliminarily completed the design blueprints, and we'll need 2-3 days to optimize them, then we can finalize the final template."

"Mm, do it quickly. Once completed, convert our points into the corresponding parts and assemble them."

Every star cluster led by a songstress has its own unique features. If the mermaids under Shui Yanqing are her trump card, then the geniuses from many military enterprises under Tilan, with the advantage of utilizing materials found in various strongholds to reassemble into new large-scale war machines.

But this process undoubtedly requires time to prepare, so in the early stages, Tilan decided to take a cautious approach, waiting and watching for changes.

She has never been the type to enjoy taking risks. Instead of spending effort on various plots and schemes, she prefers to solidify her strength and then push forward steadily.

Although it might not seem exhilarating, there is a certain simple elegance to it.
