Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 159 Vizima's Sleepless Night
Many years later, Yael, who wrote the "Chronicle of the Kingdom of Temeria", was thinking hard at the table, trying to make a conclusion about the circumstances of that night.

As a witness to the chaos in Vizima, Yael was in Vizima at the time, and he saw the chaos that night with his own eyes.

Logically speaking, he should be able to easily describe the situation that night.

But now the fact is that he couldn't draw a pen at all, and kept deliberating in his mind, it was difficult for him to find an accurate word to evaluate that night.

Yael stood up and ran to the toilet outside to urinate, and on the way to urinate, a word appeared in his head for some reason.

Putting the thing back into his trousers, Yael hurried to the table, picked up a pen with his old fingers, and wrote down a word like this:

It's a mess.

.

As with most things that turn out to be big, the chaos starts off unnoticed.

At the beginning, people just found out that there were a lot more people on the street tonight than in the past.

The Flaming Rose Knights were also mobilized, and the Salamander Gang members were everywhere.

Those non-human races in the old city didn't know what was going on, but they all ran out and moved in groups.

They also set up roadblocks and fortifications in their own urban areas, as if they were going to fight.

More importantly, many people feel as if something is passing over their heads, but when they look up, they find nothing.

Those with a keener sense of smell saw this and immediately ran home and locked the door.

This atmosphere is not right at first glance, there may be a large-scale fire tonight.

Gradually, as there were fewer and fewer ordinary citizens on the street, no matter how dull they were, they realized that something was wrong and hid one after another.

In the end, the guards of Vizima also hid in the guard tower. Now that the king is away and the marshal is not there, the princess is fighting fiercely with the Flaming Rose Knights again.

With the current situation on the street, God knows which side to stand on, and God knows which side is on which side, so it is better to hide.

Soon, the conflict also broke out.

First of all, there was a sudden explosion, and the location of the explosion was the headquarters of the Flaming Rose Knights.

It wasn't over after the explosion, a bunch of werewolves surged out from nowhere, and directly rushed into the headquarters of the Flaming Rose Knights.

On the street, the non-human race, the Salamander Gang, and the Flaming Rose Knights immediately fought.

And god knows where a bunch of Scoia'tael came out and attacked anyone with a flame symbol.

What made the situation completely out of control was that a bunch of qiqimo suddenly poured out on the ground, everything from engineers to soldiers.

These bug-like creatures appear in groups and attack all creatures that move within their field of vision.

Vizima, the capital of Temeria, has thus become a battlefield where it is not known who is the enemy and who is the friend, and everyone must fight for his life.

"Block the door! Damn it, how can there be such bugs!"

In the tavern where they stayed, Dandelion was shouting in a panic in the hall, and the poet's voice always brings joy to people.

But now, there is only panic.

"Okay, Dandelion, give me a hand and drag that chair over for me. We'll block the doors and windows, so those monsters won't be able to come in so easily."

Zoltan interrupted the bard's wail, which he genuinely found harsh.

"Ah, by the way, where is Yavin? I haven't seen that kid for a while!"

"Yawen? It's probably in his room, so don't look for it, just block the door first..."

Before Zoltan could speak, he was interrupted because several fierce werewolves broke through their improvised barricade and rushed in.

There was a lot of blood in the mouths of the werewolves, and it was obvious what they had done, which naturally caused the entire hall to scream immediately, and the crowd fled in all directions.

Zoltan raised his battle ax and stood in front of the monsters together with a few trembling guards. Although Dandelion was the most exaggerated of them all, he still stood there.

And behind them is a door, and those who escaped basically hid behind it.

"Damn it, if I can't say it well today, I have to be planted here..."

Zoltan said angrily, it was at this moment that the mutation happened again.

A group of Qiqimo rushed in behind those werewolves, and the two sides immediately fought, and the werewolf closest to them was trampled to death by a werewolf that fell from the sky.

The other werewolves screamed in fear, obviously this werewolf was not from their family, and this werewolf joined the battle group next.

"Why are you doing this!" a werewolf yelled, "Why don't you stand with the same kind!"

But the werewolf didn't answer them, he just stepped forward to fight.

These monsters were beaten to death, even if humans and dwarves did not participate in the battle, they were all covered in blood.

"What are we... doing now?"

Someone said in bewilderment that the monsters were fighting in front of their eyes, and they were left out in the cold like this. It has to be said that this is quite uncomfortable.

"We are here to guard, Dandelion, don't stand there, go to the back to appease those people, we are here, you are a burden standing here."

"Ha, I, how can Dandelion be a burden, but considering that the civilians behind really can't ignore it, so I entrust you with the glorious task of fighting monsters."

Dandelion said the same thing, and his steps were very honest, he turned around and walked in decisively.

After he entered, people immediately surrounded Dandelion, asking him various news.

"Quiet, quiet, folks, the monsters outside have been blocked by our hard work, please rest assured, you don't need to worry about those monsters!"

As a famous poet, Master Dan is very good at handling such a sight, and his calm words and blood on his clothes add to the words.

There is no psychological burden on Dandelion's lying. Anyway, he often runs the train with his mouth full of mouth. Now he wants to appease these people anyway, so it's just right to say that.

For a time, there were words of admiration for Dandelion everywhere, and our poet is also very handy in dealing with his admiration, and in such a process, people's hearts are unknowingly stable.

While Dandelion was appeasing everyone, he thought of the werewolf. There was something about that werewolf, which he had seen in Vizima's Sheriff Vincent.

Combined with the clues from the previous conversation with Vincent, the identity of the werewolf was already obvious. The sheriff who was usually timid still had such an identity.

"I didn't expect it..."

Dandelion murmured in a voice only he could hear.

.

"Werewolves, why are there so many werewolves here? We have killed almost eight werewolves along the way."

Holding the silver sword, looking at the corpse of the werewolf lying in front of him, Geralt said in puzzlement.

Even for him, this was the first time he encountered such a situation where werewolves gathered together.

"It looks like it belongs to the Artanweis family."

Regis was much more calm, and recognized the identities of these werewolves at a glance.

The vampire now looks elegant and relaxed, and it's impossible to see how he just chopped up a werewolf.

Anyway, after Geralt saw this scene, he thought that even he didn't know the odds of winning against this vampire.

"Atanvis?"

"A werewolf family active in Aden. In fact, werewolves also have a strong gregarious nature. Werewolf groups can be seen everywhere in the past. It is said that in the era when your human beings were not as powerful as they are now, this family had thousands of people. Now there are only more than 100 left. At present, a piece of wilderness is entrenched in Aedian, and the people on it are exploited to make a living. However, after the cleaning operation of the Lord Protector of Aedian, this family was hit hard. I was curious Where they might go, now I know."

As always, Regis showed a wealth of knowledge.

"Then why did they interfere with this shit?"

Geralt asked in puzzlement, since they were all driven away by humans, why did this happen?
"Werewolves are rough and brutal creatures, maybe they are sick. Anyway, my family has had contact with them, but the two sides have fought each other from the very beginning. Many times, we can't understand how these guys think. I once explained Grind the heads of these werewolves before coming to any conclusions that they are special."

"Alright, alright, stop dropping your bookbags, we have to hurry to His Majesty Foltest, only when His Majesty arrives can the chaos in Vizima come to an end."

In the previous scuffle, Geralt accidentally met Thaler, Temeria's secret agent, and learned from him that Foltest was originally scheduled to return to the capital tonight.

Now it seems that this is the reason why all parties have started to do it at this time.

When the king returns, it will all be over.

The current chaos in Vizima is essentially caused by the absence of the king and marshal in the capital. The return of any of them may quickly end the current chaos.

And Geralt and Regis went to protect the king. If all parties choose to launch a war at this critical point, someone must have arranged to assassinate the king of Temeria.

Foltest cannot die, this is the consensus reached by Geralt and Regis.

If he died, the situation in Vizima would be completely out of control, and the whole of Temeria might be thrown into chaos.

So they followed Thaler's map and immediately went to the gate of the king's return.

As a result, more and more obstacles were encountered along the way, which showed that those people had indeed prepared ultimate moves for the king.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard several explosions from a distance, and after the explosions, the flames began to spread...

.

On the other side, Scoia'tael was preparing to retreat through the sewers as Vizima burned.

The non-human civilians who were driven to the old city were also evacuated together.

"Yaevinn? Why do you want to withdraw at this time? Obviously victory is in sight, those werewolves have already messed up the headquarters of the Flame Rose Knights, as long as we kill Foltest, victory will belong to us Yes! Why are you leaving now?"

"Toruvier, the current victory is only temporary. The plan has already been arranged. We just want to take away the compatriots of Vizima. Those werewolves are not with us. They are just here to kill people and take revenge. Io The guerrillas in Fez have carved out a safe path for us, we just need to move forward."

"Run? Where else can we run? We have fought for so long, but we still haven't gained anything. Now you tell me to run away? Can we run to a place where there is no discrimination?"

The quarrel between the two attracted many elves. They all looked at the two silently, and the atmosphere immediately became depressed.

"It was Esengreen who proposed the plan."

Yaivin was silent for a while, and finally brought out the name of Colonel Iron Wolf.

He didn't want to do this at first, because it would easily lead to the leakage of news. Isengrin should be a dead person now, which would easily attract enemies.

But now it must be said.

"Don't worry, Isengrin has already arranged everything. We are going to Hackland. The people of Aedian don't have to worry, they will cooperate with us. It is wide enough, and the locals don't discriminate against non-human races. We have already There are quite a few tribesmen living there, and Isengreen has become a leader in that grassland, and has a piece of territory, where we can start building an elf city again."

Taking out the name of Iron Wolf instantly convinced many people. As the leader of the largest Scoia'tael party in the north and the commander of the Willihead Brigade, Isengrin has a very high status among the elves.

Seeing that the plan came from Essengreen, Toluwell didn't say anything more, if it was arranged by that person, that's fine.

Then, the elves accelerated their pace of departure, and they wanted to leave the city before the situation completely got out of control.

And the next road is not easy, they also have to go over mountains and ridges, and take those paths that are out of human sight.

However, the non-human races here have no choice. For the non-human race civilians in Vizima, stay here and wait to be slaughtered by the Flaming Rose Knights?Scoia'tael is the only way they can go.

In this way, the elves embarked on another road.

.

Although the Scoia'tael have left this increasingly chaotic city, it doesn't mean that the city will calm down like this.

In fact, the level of chaos increased, and the elves left just in time. Without these obstacles, the werewolves began to kill indiscriminately.

Those Qiqimos also obviously broke free from the control of the controller, and they still acted on their own, attacking everyone and everything they saw, and some people saw the huge Queen Qiqimo coming to the street for some reason, just like a king The Qiqimo mercenaries and soldiers swarmed around the streets.

With the situation now like this, the Flame Rose Knights also dispatched their killer moves.

A large number of mutants and creatures began to appear on the streets. Some of these mutants were terrifying, thin and small, but quick-moving, tall as giants, and wearing heavy armor.

They also have mutated armed hounds, which are far more ferocious than ordinary hounds.

When Geralt and the others came to Foltest, the king was besieged by such a group of demons and ghosts.

The king's guards were indeed loyal, and they struggled to maintain the front line against these monsters, but the line of defense was already in jeopardy, and the king had to personally participate in the battle.

If nothing else happened, the king's head would have to be chopped off in a few minutes.

But an accident came.

With the white wolves and vampires joining the battle, these enemies were quickly dealt with, and the mutants of the Flaming Rose Knights still have many shortcomings compared to the genuine mutants.

Of course, there is also the merits of the vampire next to him. This is the result of Regis' efforts to prevent his identity from being exposed.

"Ah, demon hunter, it's all thanks to you, otherwise, the three melons and jujubes around me will be at night. The situation just now is extremely dangerous."

"Your Majesty the King."

Geralt and Regis gave Foltest a slight nod.

"My capital is turned into this, damn it, damn it."

Looking at the burning Vizima in front of him, Foltest said angrily.

At this time, groups of cavalry finally arrived, followed by a large number of infantry wearing lily uniforms, and finally ten artillery pieces. These artillery pieces looked very new, and they should have been produced not long ago.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, we are late."

Marshal John Natalis jumped off his horse almost straight away, then dropped to one knee in front of Foltest.

His tone was full of panic. He had watched the battle just now from a distance. If these two people hadn't been killed suddenly, something unbearable would have happened...

"Your Majesty, what is important now is to restore order in the city."

Regis said at this point,

"Werewolves and Qiqimo are raging on your streets, and the rebels of the Flaming Rose Knights are also attacking various powerful institutions in Vizima to control the regime. Now Vizima needs your army."

"That child of Adda is really... I shouldn't have handed over the state affairs to him. I also heard that she was turned into a vampire again... Geralt, can you solve this problem?"

Geralt was taken aback by these words, and the princess turned into a vampire demon bird.

"Your Majesty, please leave it to me. I am Regis, a surgeon. For me, this is not a problem."

"If it was normal, I would definitely doubt your ability and level, but now, there is no way, what is the use? As for you, Geralt, I do have an important task for you. I want you to take Jasque Bring me your head. Didn’t you come to Vizima because of the fact that your witcher’s mutation formula was stolen? Now the black hand behind the scenes has surfaced.”

Facing the king's order, Geralt froze for a moment, then replied,

"Yes."

What Geralt doesn't know is that this showdown will expose him to something he doesn't want to face.

.

With Scoia'tael out of the city, and the king returning with his army and artillery from Aedirn, the chaotic night finally came to an end.

With grapeshots and muskets, and the firm determination of Temeria's soldiers, the king's army cleared the streets. Whether it was monsters or rebels, there was only one way to be smashed. fall down.It is said that the king paid a lot of price in exchange for these powerful artillery, and even the floating port was part of the exchange price for these artillery, but these are all hearsay, and the real transaction information has not flowed out so far.

After opening the demon hunter with artillery and taking the head of the leader of the Flaming Rose Knights, the remnants of the knights fled to Redania. Obviously, their Grand Master had already found a way out for them.But in any case, the Knights of the Flaming Rose, which plagued Temeria, withdrew from Temeria's political arena.

After the king's daughter Adda was transformed back into a human by a surgeon, she was stripped of all her rights and could only be a princess on a high tower ever since.The king then married her to the king of Radovi of Redania, establishing an alliance between the two nations.

The Vizima Rebellion dealt a huge blow to Temeria's power, and everywhere began to stir up trouble, especially in the new western territories. Several rebellions broke out, and the king had to immediately send Marshal John Natalis to Suppress chaos.

The demon hunter received a lot of rewards from the king for his achievements in this matter. However, just as Geralt was about to leave the palace with the purse, His Majesty Foltest was sniped by a high-precision musket. If it weren't for Geralt, the king might have been beaten into a sieve at that time, and then the king appointed a witcher as his bodyguard, and Geralt was able to enter the high-level Temeria, but what he didn't know was that there was a bigger A conspiracy is waiting for him...
