The Team Leader shook her head.

"Those left behind were instructed to purge all children who showed signs of the curse and eliminate the expendable troops. It looks like they did neither, and the government will hold the decision against their descendants. The laws on creating progeny are quite strict." 

Her words were careful and measured, trying not to make her home sound worse than it was, and Wolfe could see that she wasn\'t quite with the official policy, but as a Team Leader, she wouldn\'t say anything against the Government while being monitored.

"Well then, I suppose that I should inform the others that they won\'t be able to evacuate in time before the United World Government sends a corrective force to remove them." Wolfe sighed.

The witches from the One World Military finished their coffee and gave a longing look to the now empty pot, then stood.

"Our reconnaissance has been completed, and we should return. Consider yourselves officially notified of noncompliance with the War Memorial Act, and please accept my best wishes for your continued survival, unsanctioned though it might be." She informed them.

Wolfe stood and shook her hand. "One more thing before you go. I will gift you a bag of coffee as a first-meeting gift, and I will give you a message to pass on to your superiors. The Bloodline Curse has a cure, and I personally intend to spread it through the quarantine zone. I do hope that they can take that into consideration before taking any extreme actions." 

A gesture sent the bunny running back in with a kilogram bag of roasted coffee beans, already prepared by the locals, who only knew that they had guests, not how the meeting had gone.

She accepted the coffee with a smile and a pat on the Bunny\'s head, then she pressed a device on her wrist that sent out a signal of some sort, and Wolfe saw a complex array form near them before a portal opened, and the three stepped through, leaving the Frozen Wastes behind.

"Well, that didn\'t go as well as I had hoped. We should come up with a plan." Wolfe sighed.

[Mister Wolfe, there is a radio message. It\'s everywhere and on every channel.] The witch in charge of communications for the day informed them.

[This is a notification from the United World Government to the non-compliant residents of the quarantined Continent. This is your last chance to bring your status into compliance with planetary law and retreat from the War Memorial, locally known as the Frozen Wastes and the Central Mountain Range. Compliance action will be taken in seven days.]

From what they could tell, the entire continent got the message, and there were relayed messages passing around on every frequency, but most of them didn\'t know what it was all about. 

They thought that the United World Government was a relic of the war and hadn\'t existed for centuries, but the fact that they could broadcast to everyone was enough to prove that there was some level of advanced technology left on other continents. 

Continents that they couldn\'t get to because of the curses and monsters in the ocean.

"Send the details of our encounter to our allies. They will want to know, and none of them know what rules they\'re breaking or that the government on the other Continents likely considers their very existence to be a violation of the law.

Then, we need to start preparing the Fae Forest for an invasion. I don\'t know what they\'re going to do in seven days, but it\'s probably not going to be good." Wolfe suggested.

"What are we even going to do against them though? They sent a Rank Three Witch as a Team Leader, and they\'ve got Rank Five officers. We can\'t stand against that." Ella asked.

"Alone, probably not. But did you notice that they weren\'t using magical armour? I think their magic is more stunted than they would like to admit. They have strong Witch Magic, but I didn\'t see a single bit of elemental magic until the very end, and that wasn\'t activated by them, so it could be a relic device or a Demonic Familiar."

"So what you\'re saying is that your plan if they show up with high-ranking Witches is to shoot them because they\'re not wearing magical armour?" Priya asked.

"Well, it\'s not the first plan, but I would keep it in mind as an option. Witches can create armour spells on their own without Elemental Magic, but it\'s not as strong and wouldn\'t keep up with what we have.

What I want to do immediately is to equip everyone, and I mean everyone, with an upgraded armour spell and a Fae Blessing Charm. That should increase our resistance to being cursed, and I think that the Fae will agree to help when we explain the problem. Khalifa and some others have mentioned that this is the only Fae Forest on the planet at the moment." Wolfe replied with a shrug.

"So we\'re not leaving?" The Bunny who had brought the coffee asked.

"Leave our home because some tyrannical busybodies from another continent claim it\'s special to them? Not a chance." Wolfe laughed.

"If you\'re sure about it, then we\'re with you. Just let us know what we\'re going to do, and we will pass the message as far as we can." She insisted.

"Getting our allies in the Frozen Wastes informed and armed comes first. Then, we need to see what the so-called United World Military has for us. I wish they had stayed a bit longer so we could ask more questions.

They learned a lot about our capabilities while they were here, but we didn\'t learn much of anything about theirs. We don\'t even know if those Rank Five witches are just senior officers who never see combat or if they have more powerful gear that they\'re hiding away.

The fact that they freaked out about the name of a Magi Family says that they still know a lot about the time from before the war, though they don\'t seem to know the truth about what happened since they were the aggressors and that wouldn\'t be a suitable story for public consumption."

"We need a lot of weapons. Like arm everyone in the Frozen Wastes level production. But I don\'t know how to make rifles. I suppose we could duplicate them, but we don\'t have the capacity to turn out enough ammunition for everyone yet." Ella reminded them.

Wolfe frowned. "I think that it is time that we had another advancement session. I want to fully cleanse the Bloodline Curse from every Witch in the Fae Forest and then push everyone toward the next Rank as fast as we can.

We might not be able to match their numbers and power, but maybe we can. We don\'t actually know how much of a force they have or what they\'re going to send to try to deal with us."

"That\'s an interesting thought. If they\'re all peaceful, maybe they don\'t have a huge army anymore." The Bunny suggested in an optimistic tone.

"It\'s a possibility. Now, we need to get back to Forest Grove, but I will leave the barrier over the bunker here active in case they come back. I don\'t know if it will keep them out, but it will slow them down enough for everyone here to flee."
