Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 137 The Death of Henselt

The banks of the Pontar River have become a death-filled Shura field, where soldiers carrying the banners of Aedirn and Kaedwen are fighting.

The blood continued to flow, and even flowed into the Pontal River, staining the surface of the river red.

As the traditional dividing line of the northern countries, for the Pontal River, this is nothing but everyday.

It doesn't know how many such killings it has seen, and it doesn't know how many corpses and blood float on this river.

"Selchik, face me!"

Vandergrift on the horse roared, as if to enhance the persuasiveness of his words, he chopped off the heads of the Aedirn soldiers in front of him with the surprisingly large long sword in his hand.

The two spearmen had a tacit understanding of attacking left and right, and two spears shining with cold light stabbed at Vandergrift.

Vandergrift directly smashed one of the spears with his shield, and the long sword also stabbed through it.

As for the other spear, the spearman was obviously a veteran, and it struck Vandergrift in the armpit, but was blocked by the chain mail there.

With a wave of Vandergrift's hand, another head was blown out and bounced off a nearby Aedirn shield.

Vandergrift was like a god of war, everyone who stood in front of him was killed, and no one could block Vandergrift's terrifying attack.

To make matters worse, not many people have been able to break through his strong armor.

Now Vandergrift still has a lot of arrows stuck in his armor, but he still seems to be fine.

Behind him is Kaedwen's famous Brown Banner Battalion. This elite force honed on the Kaedwen border has not lost their reputation at all, and Vandergrift is closely following.

They kept breaking through the lines of the Aden army, and rushed towards the place where Selchik was.

Selchik looked at the approaching Vandergrift with serious eyes. He had once confronted Vandergrift in the martial arts arena, and the two had formed a bond since then.

For a long time, Vandergrift has taken defeating Selchik as his goal, and he wants to wash away his shame.

That's why Vandergrift acted so crazy, he wanted to kill the man who had defeated him.

"Get out of the way, let me come."

Selchik said to the royal knights in front of him that they are all very powerful fighters, but when facing Vandergrift, they can only be the souls of the Kaedwenian's sword.

The knights all moved out of the way, allowing the White Knight to face Vandergrift.

"Selchik, Cliff, I finally see you."

Vandergrift's body was covered with blood, and there were arrows stuck in it. With his tall figure, he looked like a monster.

"Vandergrift, let us settle the previous grievances."

Selchik's whole person is still majestic and serious, and his armor and clothing are still meticulous, which is in stark contrast to Vandergrift's appearance of a battlefield evil spirit.

The Brown Banner Battalion and the royal knights had a tacit understanding and did not continue to fight, but surrounded the two of them.

In this era, things like champion duels are also very common, and fighters regard this kind of thing as a great honor.

Vandergrift kept charging and hitting Selchik at the beginning, and the long sword swung at Selchik continuously.

If it was an ordinary person, facing Vandergrift's violent attack frequency and his terrifying power, he would have died without knowing how.

But this is Selkirk, the White Knight of Aedirn.

Selchik held the sword in both hands, and although Vandergrift's attacks were fierce, they were constantly blocked by Selchik.

The clashing swords even sparked, which shows how powerful the force is.

Although Selchik was strong, he was still not enough to face Van der Grift, but he was still not at all inferior to General Kaedwin.

The soldiers on both sides watched the battle nervously, anxiously waiting for the result of the battle.

However, many people put their energy into this battle. Such exquisite samurai fighting is rare.

As the battle time continued to lengthen, Selchik began to lose the wind. Vandergrift's shield blocked his blow after blow, and the shield was actually steel.

But even so, the white knight's long sword hit the weak point of Vandergrift's armor several times during the period, but it still failed to break through the specially strengthened chain mail.

And Selchik couldn't use armor like Vandergrift to carry it. Vandergrift's arm strength is simply human, and most of the armor has no meaning in front of him.

He wore such heavy armor, held an exaggeratedly large sword, and that large steel shield, but he was not stingy at all with physical strength. Selchik wondered if this guy had giant blood.

Looking at it now, his victory back then was entirely thanks to the rules of the tournament.

Selchik thought of this, recalling that battle, if life and death were fought at that time, the winner might not be the winner.

The white knight is getting more and more tired, and when people are tired, they are prone to problems. He is completely at a disadvantage. Everyone can see with the naked eye that the defeat of the white knight is only a matter of time.

Finally, Selchik showed his flaws.

In this battle, the white knight has been using all parts of the long sword in his hand to withstand General Kaedwin's attack evenly. It is precisely because of this that the long sword in his hand has not been broken into pieces under the slash of the big sword. .

But now, he made a miscalculation, and the long sword shattered directly, breaking in two.

There was ecstasy on Vandergrift's face, in stark contrast to Selchik's momentary despair.

However, just as General Kaedwin was about to swing down the great sword and actually kill the White Knight, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from his side.

Vandergrift returned his sword urgently. He had a feeling that the mighty attack could cut through his solid armor.

The greatsword parried the flanking blow, and sparks cracked across the clashing swords more violently than in any previous encounter.

Vandergrift's face changed drastically, the power he felt... the power on the other side was no less than him!Even stronger than him!

And what surprised him even more was that the person opposite was actually a woman!
Vandergrift hurriedly took a few steps back and put the shield horizontally in front of him. He actually had a feeling that he was facing a giant dragon.

"Master Selchik, please leave this to me."

That woman was naturally Saskia, and she was taking a standard T-step, raising her sword and facing Vandergrift.

The white knight's face darkened quite a bit, he didn't want to leave all this to a woman.

But in the current situation, it can only be like this.

But the most important thing is that he has a feeling that the woman in front of him is stronger than him. If he didn't have this feeling, how could Selchik let Sakia go.

"Let's fight it out, Vandergrift."

Saskia pointed the long sword at Vandergrift, General Kaedwin was silent for a while,

"it is good."

Then, the dragon girl and General Kaedwen clashed, and the power of their fight was much more exaggerated than before, making the surrounding soldiers dazzled.

.

When the battle was fiercely fought on the battlefield, Sabina Grewisig set up the Thousand Mile Realm in a magical place not far from the battlefield.

But even though she is not on the battlefield, she is still closely watching the development of the situation there with her magic power, and the changes on the battlefield are all under special attention.

Now, she thought it was time to intervene herself.

But she can't do it alone, she needs the help of sisters from other congregations.

The magic was cast, and the telescope also worked.

Then five or six phantoms appeared here, and they were the members of the sorceress assembly that could respond to the telescope.

"Sabina Grewisig, why did you summon us? I believe the situation must be very important, otherwise you wouldn't have summoned us at this time."

From behind the phantom, Wei Wei can see the smooth back of a woman.

Seeing this, Sabina hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, she can't hear it."

It seems that this is not the first time Philippa has experienced such a thing, she said very flatly.

After scolding stinky lace in her heart, Sabina explained the situation,
"Kaldwin has gained an advantage in the battle with Aedirn, Selchik has been defeated by Vandergrift, and now it is only a woman against Vandergrift, that is Saskia , but I think it’s only a matter of time before the barbarian fails. So I need to do something, I’m going to cast a meteor shower on the battlefield, Kaedwin can’t win this war, it will destroy the balance of the north.”

Hearing Saskia's name, Philippa wanted to say something, but she swallowed it anyway.

Philippa was very clear about what Sabina was going to do. She was planning to wipe out all the Aedirn and Kaedweni troops on the battlefield.

That's fine, Philippa thought, it's certainly a good thing that the two countries were hit hard, especially that Aden of Herme.

Philippa has always been very afraid of that Hemei, because there is too much fog of information on this person.

Relying on the Redanian Intelligence Agency, which had been taken over from Dijkstra, Philippa was able to know a great deal about what happened in Aedirn.

Although the strength of Redania's intelligence agency has been greatly reduced due to the loss of its leader, it is still no problem to maintain the investigation of the domestic situation of various countries.

And from his various behaviors, Philippa had a strong feeling that this unknown person who appeared suddenly was her greatest threat.

But she also knew what kind of risk she would take if she cast such a large-scale magic on the battlefield.

"Sabina, we can help you, but I have to tell you that the risk of casting large-scale magic is very high. In the era when the Warlock Order still existed, you would be directly hunted down by the order, or even marked as a traitor. The label of a warlock. The association can help you cast this magic, but you must say that all of this is done by yourself, and you cannot involve other people's names in it."

Philippa said seriously, she knew that once Sabina, a grumpy fellow, made up her mind, nothing would change her mind, and she said these words just to tell her what to say next.

"I know."

Sabina couldn't wait to reply, for her, she must use this magic to reverse the situation on the battlefield.

She couldn't let the situation with Aedirn and Kaedwen fall into her hands, and she couldn't let herself be the first to fail at the Coven of the Sorceresses.

The other sorceresses naturally had no objections, and they immediately began to use the telescope to transmit magic power.

With the influx of a lot of magic power, Sabina's face showed ecstasy.

It was the first time for her to control such a huge magic power.

But when Sabina was concentrating on manipulating magic power, many musketeers nearby surrounded her.

"Master Cliff, Lord Herme is actually right, the witches are actually doing trouble here."

Viator poked his head out from behind the stone and looked at the scene in front of him.

Damn it, this chaotic power has manifested, which shows how exaggerated the energy there is.

"I thought Lord Herme was just letting us wander around the magic place, but it turned out that something really happened."

Viator continued to sigh, pulled out the wheel-wheel gun from his waist, and loaded it with the magic-resistant gold bullets.

"Everyone is equipped with magic-blocking gold bullets. Without this gadget, the witch cannot be killed."

Viator shouted loudly, not afraid of being discovered at all, because the voice on the battlefield was so loud that it completely suppressed their voices here.

Viato's subordinates are the pistol cavalry. There are probably hundreds of people gathered here. They are now switching from shotgun to cannon, and everyone is using wheel guns.

"Shoot now, my lord?"

Someone asked,

"Come closer, the witch must think that her protective shield can't do anything to us, and give her a surprise then."

As an experienced warlock, Sabina naturally took precautions to cast such a large-scale magic.

Then Viato rushed up, and the people behind quickly followed. They were not on horseback, but on foot, and riding on horseback was not conducive to concealment.

Such a large group of Adian people rushed out suddenly, and Sabina naturally saw it.

Of course, she didn't take this group of people seriously. It was absolutely impossible for these ordinary people to break through his protective shield. When she finished casting her magic, she would come to deal with them.

My own protective shield was made by all the elites in the sorceress assembly hall.

It's just that Sabina felt a strong sense of uneasiness when these Ardians raised their pistols.

Then the muskets roared.

.

"Boom!"

Everyone on the battlefield was startled by the explosion in the distance, and saw a huge explosion cloud appearing in the distance.

Everyone was going to be terrified, why did such an explosion happen.

Even Vandergrift and Saskia, who were fighting fiercely, stopped and looked in the direction of the explosion.

However, the two of them started to fight frantically afterwards. The battles between them were the kind that didn't take physical strength into account at all, and they were all open and closed.

On the other side, on Kaedwen's side, on the north bank of the Pontar River, a group of cavalry appeared in front of Kaedwen's camp, and after these cavalry, a large number of infantry rushed out.

Their faces are tired, but now they are tired, but they are full of joy.

Above their heads is a falcon, followed by a series of Aedirn arms.

"Valentine, do you know what I'm looking at?"

Lord Protector of Aedirn, Herme Botterdan looked down at the Kaedwen camp below and the battlefield on the other side of the river with a triumphant voice.

"I am leading a horse for a conqueror."

The servant Valentine bowed to Herme very respectfully, and the Lord Protector laughed.

"Well, let this war come to an end!"

The Lord Protector was the first to rush to the Kaedweni camp below, followed by the army behind him.

.

"What? That Herme attacked my camp?"

When he got the news, Henselt was extremely astonished. The Lord Protector of Aedian actually ran behind him?

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Lord Protector of Aedian ran behind us. There are some military servants in the camp, and their attack cannot be stopped at all."

The blood-stained knight replied panting heavily, and the black smoke rising into the sky behind him proved his words.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Someone said in a panic that the Lord Protector of Aden attacked their rear, and now the rear is completely cut off!

"What to do, what to do, how do I know what to do!"

Henselt was a little pissed off. May they all get the plague. Damn it, he doesn't know what to do now.

He wanted to lose his temper, but his reason told him that he had to calm down and think about what to do.

"Retreat, retreat."

Henselt finally squeezed the words out of his mouth, seeing how he gritted his teeth, saying this word was like forcing him to eat shit.

Then King Kaedwen was the first to turn his horse's head and run back.

His subjects and guards quickly followed, the king's reaction was so fast, they couldn't react.

However, when Henselt was crossing the river, the king was hit by a stray bullet from nowhere, and the bullet hit him directly in the heart.

Henselt fell directly into the water, his plump body caused a lot of splashes, and was washed away by the current.

Henselt, King of Kaedwen, successor of the Unicorn Dynasty, King of Ad Kale, Grand Duke of Ben Ad, judged by Geralt as a monarch more like a thief than a king, died like this and died in the Pontar River.

All this happened in a blink of an eye, and no one reacted. The guards hurriedly searched for the king's body, but found nothing.

"The king is dead!"

Such mournful screams sounded immediately, and spread across the entire battlefield like a whirlwind.

All the Kaedwenians were taken aback for a moment. They looked at the place where the king was originally, but found that they saw nothing.

The king and his guard were gone, and there was only a solitary unicorn banner.

The Kaedwenians panicked. No matter whether the king is dead or not, it is an ironclad fact that he is gone now.

The Kaedwenians who had fought bravely backed down, and some started running away. Even Vandergrift was distracted by this.

And Vandergrift was fighting someone like Saskia, and it was precisely because of his loss of consciousness that his head was directly chopped off by Saskia with the neck guard.

Dragon Girl's strength is so great that the cuts and armor sections are so neat. From this point of view, it is not so much that Saskia is strong enough to fight against Vandergrift, it is better that Vandergrift is powerful Enough to fight against Saskia.

The human head fell like a ball on the grass covered with corpses and blood, and rolled several times. Vandergrift still had an expression of disbelief on his face, and it was hard to imagine that he died like this.

A battle broke out between the two sides for the head of Vandergrift.

The Kaedwenians whose general was killed were driven away after all.

The Ardians enthusiastically stuck Vandergrift's head on the longest spear they could find.

With his head pushed up, the collapse of the Kaedweni was utterly inevitable.

"Attack, Ardianites, and drive the Kaedwenians out of the way!"

Saskia took a banner with the arms of Aedirn and encouraged the soldiers to move forward, and the soldiers responded enthusiastically.

The beautiful Saskia completely mobilized their hormones, which made the soldiers go into a frenzy. They kept cheering, and then rushed up to the Kaedwenians like wolves and tigers.

There is no doubt that the victory of this battle definitely belongs to the Adian people and the Lord Protector.
