Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 165 Massacre
"...In short, the Order of Warlocks will be rebuilt, and both warlocks and non-warlocks will benefit greatly from it. In the war against the Southern Empire, Warlocks will also play an important role, just like back then On Mount Sodden. Brothers and sisters, rejoice in the return of the order..."

Xier Tanshavier looked at the male sorcerer in front of him talking to the audience, and many words about the necessity of rebuilding the church also aroused unanimous approval and cheers from the audience.

Many warlocks present were very excited. Without the sect, they knew the good of the sect, and now the sect is finally coming back.

For middle- and lower-level warlocks, without the various conveniences provided by the religious order, they basically suffered a lot.

After all, warlocks are a group living in an ivory tower. When dealing with people, they still have to rely on the help provided by the religious order, such as the conditions of permanent residence in a certain place, the price of employment, and most importantly, the protection of the rights of warlocks. .

The non-warlock groups present were also talking freely. With the return of the warlock order, the political situation in the north will inevitably change. Everyone is discussing what the reorganized order can bring.

However, there is a topic here that is no less discussed than the reconstruction of the order, and that is the situation in Temeria.

Most people are very gloomy about the future of Temeria without the monarch. In this world of great controversy, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Temeria is partitioned.

King Tancred and the ambassadors of various countries stood solemnly in their respective positions, completing their roles in this diplomatic conference.

It seems that all this is no different from the plan, the warlocks are happy for the return of the order, and others are discussing politics as usual.

But for some reason, Xi'er always had a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, always feeling that something would go wrong next.

The sorceress kept stroking her chest, soothing her flustered heart, but for some reason, the more she comforted her, the more flustered she felt.

On Xi'er's always stern face, the brows were tightly knit together. This feeling is really too wrong. Is there something wrong?

The sorceress thought about it, and soon, she also found the problem.

Philippa has not returned yet.

Originally, it was not a day or two for Philippa to disappear on important public occasions, but only this time, Xier felt strongly disturbed.

When this meeting is over, I must hurry to Philippa, Syl told herself.

At this time, Xier's eyes met the Nilfgaardian ambassador Hilard for some reason. The Nilfgaardian diplomat bowed slightly to her pretending to be modest, but Xier only hated this smiling tiger.

Hillard's reputation in the north is extremely bad, and this person is also a typical smiling tiger. He can talk to you with a smile on his face, and then turn his head to lay out a deadly conspiracy and set off a turmoil that killed countless people.

And for some reason recently, she couldn't get in touch with Ashley and Vigo (both members of the Nilfgaard Council), and after this happened, she had to look for them.

But the most important thing is Philippa. After finding Philippa, they have to discuss how to deal with the Nilfgaardians. The turmoil in the north cannot let these men in black take advantage of them.

And just after she made such a decision in her heart, a shout broke his thinking.

"Everyone, I have brought important news, and the meeting must be temporarily suspended."

Everyone's attention was attracted by the owner of the shout, and Xier saw King Radovid of Redania who should not have appeared here.

Radovid was wearing a golden plate armor, and the emblem of the Redanian royal family was engraved on the breastplate, making the king look extremely mighty and extraordinary.

Behind Radovid, there are a large number of Redanian soldiers. They hold swords, guns, swords and halberds, and they are all wearing armor, just like they are on the battlefield.

What Xier cares about is why Radovid is here, he shouldn't be here!

This caused some panic to appear on Xi'er's face. As the person who controls the puppet, losing control of the puppet (though not hers) is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing.

And more importantly, at this critical moment, Philippa had disappeared.

"Your Majesty Radovid, may I ask why you came here?"

asked the presiding sorceress to the king, and Radovid smiled at the question.

"As I said, what I bring is an important message that concerns the safety of the entire North."

As soon as Radovid finished speaking, crossbowmen suddenly appeared on various commanding heights of the venue. These crossbowmen had a burning rose on their shields, representing their identity of the Flaming Rose Knights.

And in the various passages of the venue, the knights and sergeants of the Flaming Rose Knights also blocked the passages.

Many warlocks who were close to these fighters began to vomit. There is no doubt that this is the influence of the magic gold.

The most outrageous thing is that they actually moved out a cannon.

"Your Majesty Radovid, what do you mean? Are you going to kidnap everyone here?"

King Tancred stood up and asked, if he couldn't come up with an explanation for Radovid's behavior today, it would undoubtedly be a great offense to the Kovir Kingdom.

"Don't worry, my distant relative."

Radovid looked at this relative, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.

The smile frightened Tancred, and the Kirvir knights immediately surrounded their lord.

"It will be clear soon, Ambassador Hillard, please."

"Of course, His Majesty Radovid."

Nilfgaardian Ambassador Hilard stood up, and he humbly bowed to everyone present, appearing extremely humble.

"I am honored to be able to explain all this to everyone present. After the assassination of King Foltest and King Istrad, our Nilfgaard Empire captured a mutant. As far as he explained, He was entrusted by a secret organization called 'Sorceress Covenant' to assassinate the monarch of the North."

When Sheila was explaining everything, Xi'er's forehead was sweating wildly. She kept comforting herself that the warlock didn't see their faces, but when the word "sorceress assembly hall" was uttered, Xi'er understood that there was no need fantasy.

And the gray-haired demon hunter who was brought up confirmed what Hillard said.

"Yes, I was entrusted by the sorceress assembly to assassinate the king of the north. Both Foltest and Istrad were killed by me, and it was not just the two who were assassinated, but also Rui. King Vizmir of Dania also died in the assassination of the sorceress, and it was the sorceress named Philippa who did it."

Next, the gray-haired witcher reported the list of members of the sorceress guild he knew. Every time a name was reported, Xier's face became darker.

And more importantly, how did they make the list so clear!

"After learning of this, our great emperor, His Majesty Emhyr Enress, decided to tell the northerners the truth. No one should be played by a conspiracy gang without knowing it. Therefore, Radovid and I Your Majesty cooperated and brought the truth to everyone present."

Hillard went on to say that his words were so righteous, as if Nilfgaard was really as bright and majestic as he said.

Moreover, Hillard also produced pieces of evidence, such as the internal documents of the sorceress assembly hall, and the images recorded by magic... Every time one was taken out, Xier collapsed, how could they have these things!

The words of the mutant population were so shocking that everyone present couldn't believe it, but since the Nilfgaardian ambassador and King Redania both endorsed it, most people also believed these words.

As a result, everyone looked at Xi'er, the only member of the sorceress assembly present, with a bad face.

Especially King Tancred, he couldn't believe that it was his important mentor who ordered the assassination of the king.

In addition, everyone's eyes on all the warlocks present became unkind.

The northerners hated warlocks very much. Now that the so-called sorceress assembly had assassinated so many northern kings, their senses were even worse.

And Ladodimensional has not stopped his actions.

"Everyone, everyone, please be calm, I haven't finished my words, and I have brought a big conspiracy."

Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited. Is there anything more important?

"Warlocks, these damn magic players, they plan to overthrow all the royal families in the north, kill all the kings, all of this, almost all the warlocks participated!"

Radovid's words were earth-shattering, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"La...Your Majesty Radovid, this is an extremely serious accusation! Of course there are scum like the sorceress assembly among us warlocks, but the situation you said will never happen!"

The male sorcerer presiding over the meeting hurriedly said that he did not expect that a meeting for the reconstruction of the sorcerer's order would turn into a severe accusation against the whole sorcerer group.

"Really? Then why did you choose to rebuild the Warlock Order at this time? Why did you choose this moment when two important kings died in the north?"

"I...we...we can never have anything to do with these things. The rebuilding of the church was approved by His Majesty Istrad. We..."

Radovid's words undoubtedly overwhelmed all the rebuttals of the warlocks, and now the yellow mud is falling on his crotch, and it's not shit or shit.

No matter how much the warlocks explained, it would seem so pale to others.

"Shut up, you bloody magician."

Radovid didn't hesitate to tell Warlock to shut up, and then made more heavyweight revelations,

"Furthermore, you plan to assassinate His Majesty Tancred at this meeting, and make Kevier your warlock's private land!"

As soon as Radovid finished speaking, a gorgeous flame suddenly erupted under Tancred's feet, and the king was undoubtedly reduced to ashes in this flame.

The Kevir people panicked. Their king died just like that.

Next, people discovered the impact of a burst of portal fluctuations, and Xier opened a portal and fled in.

Xi'er has already realized that no matter what she says next, she will die, so let's run away quickly.

As for the other warlocks, you can wish for luck, even if he stays there, other warlocks will definitely be affected.

The scene fell into a deadly silence for a while, the warlocks, soldiers and audience all looked at each other, no one dared to be the first to strike.

Xier's behavior undoubtedly confirmed the big hat Radovid put on the entire warlock group, and things were bound to develop in the worst direction.

Even the Kovirians are now ready to make a move.

Their king just died suddenly like that, and then the sorceress ran off, and the Kervirs are now furious and need to settle accounts.

"Kill all these warlocks!"

Finally, with such a cry, the sword moved.

The place where warlocks once gathered for the reconstruction of the order has now become a place where warlocks were killed.

Looking at the blood in front of him, a sick smile appeared on Radovid's face, as well as the joy of the results of the plan, and then the king also drew his long sword.

"Yes, that's it! Just send them to their deaths! These damn warlocks will pay for what they did!"

The Nilfgaardians left here after a brief exchange with the Redanians. For them, the task has been completed, and it is time to leave this place of right and wrong.

After all, a massacre is about to erupt next, and Ambassador Hillard is soft-hearted and can't bear to see this.

This time, Ambassador Hillard achieved a complete victory, washing away the humiliation suffered in the Second Northern War.

However, the ambassador was a little unhappy.

That is, the death of King Kevier was not what was planned. Now Kevier's throne will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Radovid, which is not a good thing for the empire's northern strategy.

.

When Geralt and Roche felt the venue, what they saw was a ruin composed of corpses, slaughter and flames.

They are late.

In order to cross the icy road, Geralt and Roche spent too much time.

Their luck was very bad, and they encountered a white dragon on the road, and this damn dragon was still stuck on their way to their destination.

In order to kill the dragon blocking the way, Geralt spent a lot of time and finally completed the feat of slaying the dragon, but Geralt was not happy because too much time wasted in slaying the dragon.

So, although Geralt didn't understand the scene in front of him, he also had a feeling that he missed it again.

Geralt and Roche looked at each other, seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes.

No matter what, after all, I still have to go down and have a look.

In this way, they walked into the ruins.

And along the way, all that came into Geralt's eyes were death and flames. The pampered warlocks were hanged, beheaded, and stuck on wooden stakes.

A party was leaving in the distance, and Geralt's witcher's vision could clearly see the arms of Redania and Kerviel on it.

There are also some soldiers of Redania and Korvir scattered here, hunting down any warlocks who might remain.

These people were obviously red-eyed, and they attacked Geralt when they saw Geralt.

And the ending is naturally defeated by Geralt, and the ordinary soldiers face the demon hunter and the blue iron guard, the ending is naturally self-evident.

But what Geralt didn't expect was that he would save an "old acquaintance" just because of this.

Dorre Garay.

"My God, demon hunter, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise I'd really die here. Damn it, look at this place, how many people have died. The blow that the northern magic world has suffered this time is worse than that of the immortals. Ned Island exaggerates even more."

The headmaster of Ben Ade College is now in disgrace, not at all as dignified as a headmaster, but the teachers and students under him are just about the same.

Dorrigaray landed in an abandoned cellar he found with a group of warlocks from Ben Ard's College.

If he hadn't drilled into this cellar with someone who could call him in the first place, he would have died long ago.

He originally planned to wait until after all this was over, but he was almost discovered. If Geralt and the others hadn't come out suddenly, they might have died here.

"You are……"

"Ah, I forgot, you lost your memory. This is not a suitable place to talk, witcher, let's say goodbye first, take this first, and I will repay you well when you come to Ben Ard in the future. Now , I have to take someone away, I suggest you leave quickly, this place is not suitable for staying any longer."

Dorrigare didn't say anything to Geralt. After giving Geralt a magic talisman, he hurriedly left with the warlocks who were in constant panic behind him.

Geralt and Roche looked at each other. Both were a little confused, but decided to move on after a while. No matter what, the ruins still needed to be searched.

Next, they rescued a few more surviving warlocks, but there was no such thing as Dorrigalei who rescued a dozen people at once.

They saw more warlocks being slaughtered. The executors of the massacre killed as long as they had anything to do with warlocks, so many apprentice warlocks who had just entered school also died.

And some of these people didn't know anything, and they were massacred suddenly, some knew everything, but not all, and some of them watched the whole meeting from the sidelines.

Through the words of these people, Geralt and Roche pieced together the cause and effect of the incident.

Facing the massacre of the Redanians and Kervirs, the warlocks had no resistance at all.

Combat warlocks are one of the few warlocks after all, and they belong to a very rare type. This group of people still fought each other in the coup on Shaned Island a few years ago, and lost many people.

Now, most of the warlocks are researchers and simple magic users, and they belong to the kind that throws a fireball.

So they were slaughtered, slaughtered without any resistance.

They also killed and injured some soldiers, but compared to the number of dead warlocks, it was a drop in the bucket.

And from these people, the most important piece of news Geralt got was:
In the square, the mutant assassin was waiting for someone, but as long as the person he was not waiting for passed by, he would be ruthlessly killed by him.

Geralt and Roche went there non-stop, and in that square, they saw the mutant assassin, now wearing a cat's head badge around his neck.

He is sitting in front of the mountain of corpses, still playing with a small wooden sculpture in his hands.

Seeing Geralt and the others come in, the assassin was thrown to Geralt by the wooden sculpture in his hand, and Geralt caught it immediately.

Looking at the wood carving, Geralt subconsciously thought of Triss.

While in Novigrad, Geralt sent Triss a letter asking her to come to Kovir.

Here, he needs Triss' connections and magic.

But Triss never came. Geralt thought she had something else to do, but the thing in his hand gave Geralt a feeling that this was Triss.

"I walked by the Nilfgaardian camp. The Nilfgaardian warlock captured a red-haired woman and turned her into this. I knew he was your lover, so I brought it to you. Speaking of it , Those people still plan to kill me, it is indeed dangerous to work for the empire, but I still ran out. White wolf, here, the friendship between you and me is settled."

The Maopai witcher said cynically, as if he was talking about a game, not a matter of life and death.

Geralt was very puzzled, did he have a relationship with this person?Another thing he forgot?
"Back then in Kerak, you once... Forget it, it seems that you have forgotten it too, but I believe you will remember it sooner or later. Now, we have more important things."

"whats the matter?"

"Let me tell you everything first..."

Following the words of the cat sent the witcher, Geralt and Roche learned everything: the assassination of Nilfgaard, the conspiracy of the sorceress's assembly house, and the political transactions between Radovid and Emhyr, here are more The acquiescence of a Lord Protector of Aedirn, and above all, Nilfgaard's army in South Sintra...

And the massacre here, it can be said that it is what all parties want to see, is part of the deal, and they all ignore or promote it to happen.

With the country as the chessboard and the soul as the pen, politics is as dirty as ever.

It was only here that Geralt and Roche really understood what they were involved in. It was a super conspiracy sweeping the North.

After the talk, everyone was silent for a while, and they all slowly eased the impact of these news.

Seeing that Lott was almost relieved, the cat sent the witcher to raise his witcher sword.

Crazy colors flashed in his eyes, which is a typical feature of the cat's madness. He is in the interweaving of madness and pleasure,

"Now, it's time to put an end to all this damn thing. How can the story not have a climax? Since you've been chasing me for so long, it's time to finish what you and I should do."

The meaning of the cat was obvious, and the white wolf also understood. After placing Triss's wooden sculpture, he also raised his sword.

As the cat in front of me said, there should be an end to all this.

The two quickly rushed towards each other, followed closely behind, with clanging swords, you come and go, and under the witness of the blue-clothed iron guards, a competition representing the highest level of swordsmanship in the mainland began.
