Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 174
The process of meeting the leader of the Independence Army was much easier than Geralt expected.

He just said that he was a demon hunter who came to hunt monsters, and then someone took him deep into the fortress, before the leader of the independent army.

The leader of the independence army was a red-haired man with a standard Kaedwenian face, rough and bold, and a standard Kaedwenian beard.

"Hello, Geralt, I'm Herit, the leader of the Kaedwenian Independence Army. I welcome the famous White Wolf to my fortress. I think you came for Dunvar's things."

The witcher looked around without any trace, and confirmed the number of people and positions in the room again, while placing his hands where he could throw the bomb immediately.

Regarding Geralt, this man's temperament gave Geralt a very strange feeling. He felt that he was not like a rebel leader, but like a shrewd accountant.

Forget it, Geralt thought next, how many strange phenomena he had seen in this so-called rebellion, and a rebel leader who looked like an accountant was so strange.

"How did you know my purpose?"

Bai Lang is a smart person, and he was so straightforward when he came up, which means that many things have already been known by others.

At this moment, Geralt suddenly had a strong feeling in his heart. Like a puppet, he was manipulated by others into a field he didn't understand at all.

This feeling disgusted him very much, and he didn't like it very much.

But what else could he do?It’s not just that you can only follow other people’s control.

"I have friends in Wengerburg and Ad Carleigh, and they are more than happy to convey some less important information for me. So Geralt, you just need to answer me yes or no."

Herritt's attitude was very gentle, but Geralt didn't dare to relax at all. He noticed that the man's hand was always out of sight under the table, and his intuition told him that there was probably a musket there.

In my career of hundreds of years, I don’t know how many smiling tigers I have seen.

"Yes."

But now that the person is under the eaves, he can only follow the meaning of the opposite party.

"I would like to give you what I have, Geralt, but you must do me a little favor."

To White Wolf's surprise, the person on the opposite side didn't yell at him immediately, but put forward a new request with a gentle attitude.

As a gesture of friendliness, he also took out two small cups from under the table, and filled them with vodka.

"On a mountain pass in the south, there is a group of Sharma entrenched. These monsters that are always digging around have affected the passage of that road, so I need you to solve that monster."

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"So, can you tell me what this is all about?"

"Hiss, well...you will know after you solve the problem."

Looking at Herritt's plain face, which was obviously thinking about everything, Geralt felt a strong desire to punch this man directly in the face.

Along the way, he has seen too many things that he can't understand, and everyone treats him as a tool. Damn, may you all be infected with the plague.

But in the end he held back, if what this person said is true, then so be it.

Solved this problem by myself, and this matter is over.

Ever since, Geralt embarked on a journey to hunt down Sharma. Herrit gave him a lot of help and said that he could use everything in the warehouse.

With these aids it was made quite simple, and the White Wolf took a while to prepare the lure and then placed it in the chosen ambush.

During this process, he was also able to understand the situation of these Sharmas. It turns out that these guys are extremely bloodthirsty and will attack any human beings that appear in their territory. The army caused a lot of trouble.

And as a large group of Sharma was attracted, Geralt directly detonated the gunpowder keg hidden nearby, and the gunpowder exploded these monsters to a mess.

Even Sharma can hardly withstand such an explosion.

But there was still a Sharma who had nothing to do in this explosion. It was a huge Sharma, its size was twice as large as that of its peers, and its carapace was much thicker. Nothing.

Seeing this, Geralt sighed. He originally thought that gunpowder could solve the problem, but now it seems that he still has to draw his sword to solve the problem.

And Geralt is also very straightforward. As a demon hunter, fighting monsters is quite normal.

Pulling out the silver sword and smearing it with sword oil, Geralt came out of his hiding place, stepped over the corpses, and walked up to the enraged Great Sharma.

At this time, Geralt noticed that there were many bones on the monster's body, as well as a lot of faded blood, all of which showed the "great military exploits" of the monster in front of him.

And Geralt discovered a strange thing, that is, there is a collar on the neck of this monster. Although it is broken, the collar is a collar, and there are inscriptions on it.

This reminded Geralt of the group of warlocks he saw in Kerak who made "battle monsters", and he felt that there was such a thing in front of him.

But Geralt didn't think too much about it. The most important thing was to face this monster.

Looking at the monster, Geralt felt a surge of excitement. It had been a long, long time since he had killed the white dragon.

Just as Geralt was thinking this, the monster roared and then rushed over crazily.

.

Following Geralt's rough movements, the head of the Great Sharma was thrown in. This head, which was much larger than the ordinary Sharma, attracted the attention of many people.

Then came in a bloody demon hunter, his face was as pale as a dead man, and there were black meridians all over his face.

This suddenly scared the people who were curious about Sharma's head back. The appearance of this witcher is really scary.

When Geralt recalled that battle, he couldn't help feeling grateful that the monster's power and vitality far exceeded his imagination, and even he was almost killed.

Thinking of his struggle on the verge of death, a wave of anger welled up in his heart. He didn't pick up the head, and no one rushed to pick it up. He walked straight to Herit's castle.

The guards saw Geralt's appearance, and no one stopped him. The witcher was too scary, like a monster that could devour human flesh at any time.

Many people who despise demon hunters can't help but think of the legends of those demon hunters, and understand why these monster killers are often regarded as monsters.

Herrit was still sitting in his original position, looking at Geralt with a smile.
"Ah, Master Geralt, your speed is far beyond my imagination. I really appreciate your efforts."

"You really have to thank me, or bring me what I need, and tell me what the hell is going on."

Geralt said angrily that he had had enough of this farce and wanted to know what was going on.

"Of course, of course, I will take care of these things for you right away."

Saying this, Herritt took out a document from under the table. At a glance, it was obvious that the document was old and the paper was completely yellowed.

In order to protect this document, there was a cover on the outside, but even so, Herritt was still careful when he picked it up.

Geralt knew the writing on it, it was the common language a hundred years ago, and there was also the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Aedirn there.

So, this is what I have been doing all this time?

Thinking this way, Geralt had a document in his hand, but he didn't open it. The employer didn't ask for this, but he just looked at the cover carefully, and felt whether the document had gone through so many years.

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Geralt's face. After struggling for so long, he finally got the "key" to rescue Triss.

"It seems that you are very satisfied, that's good, then, I will tell you what is going on."

Herritt had been watching Geralt's expression all the time, and then he began to talk about the cause and effect of the matter.

"Once upon a time, there was a man who was very powerful when Kaedwen was an independent kingdom, but after the Ardians came, he voluntarily turned to the Ardians, so he was able to keep his wealth and status. But after Nilfgaard went north, he decided to find a retreat for himself, so that in the worst possible situation, he could have some power in his hands and increase his united front value. Therefore, there was the Kaedwinian Independent Army .”

Geralt nodded. He was not surprised by such a development. In his past years, he didn't know how many times he had seen such a thing.

"However, things always develop unexpectedly. He opened a hole, and then others also intervened. Bureaucrats who stand up to keep their power... So, do you understand what a mess you've stepped into?"

Speaking of which, combined with what he saw and heard, Geralt almost understood what was going on.

He just felt disgusting, very disgusting, this is a damn political farce, and everyone is acting tacitly.

However, he still had doubts.

"So, what does this have to do with Dunwa? And this document."

"Someone sent it to me. Although it is said that local snakes are very powerful in Kaedwen, when Wengerburg's order is issued, the army must still fully implement it, so this is the only way to use it. I have to say, find The person responsible for this document is very powerful, God knows how many old files he dug through before he fished out this thing. And it is also because of this thing that we have kept Wengerburg from issuing a death order to encircle and suppress it."

Having said that, Geralt fully understood what was going on, as before, he still felt a strong sense of nausea, he just felt that all this was dirty.

"So what do you plan to do in the future? As the center of all this, you should understand what will happen to you."

Seeing Herit in front of him being so calm, Geralt couldn't help reminding him a few words in return.

"This? I have to thank you for this, White Wolf. You cleared the road for me to go south. This is more important to me than anything else. Those Sharma are not there naturally, they are attracted They came here just to trap me, to prevent me from running around, so that when the time comes to destroy the corpse, they can deal with me as soon as possible."

Herritt's words were full of ridicule and disdain for this kind of behavior.

But Geralt could also see that, at the same time, he was grateful that he was finally out of this predicament.

"So, Geralt, I'm also preparing to leave. I plan to take my people to Nilfgaard. People are needed there. It won't be long before you hear the news of the destruction of the Kaedwenian Independent Army." news, and there will be no news about these dirty transactions in the middle."

Hearing this, Geralt was silent for a while, "This world is still the same after all, and the farce must be hidden after all."

"But we all live in this world, White Wolf. I hope we can meet again in the future. I really like you."

At this point, Herritt is basically saying goodbye, and the matter between them is over.

"Then goodbye, and hope to see you again in the future."

.

"So, it's finally over over there?"

Holding the report in his hand that "the Kaedwen independent army was destroyed, its castle and all the rebels were burned down," the Lord Protector in the Vengerberg Palace said.

"Yes, this shit is finally over. They've finally finished the show."

Charlene said respectfully.

There was an expression on Duke Hu's face trying not to smile. These guys thought they were doing it very covertly, but in fact Duke Hu noticed them all, and just watched them perform quietly.

To be honest, it was actually quite fun, the Lord Protector was watching what happened in Kaedwen with a mentality of watching a monkey show.

"Now that the play is over, let's tell Dunwa that it's time to take back all the power, and Marciu's game should be over."

"So how do we house him? And the Kaedweni?"

"Having Malthugh come back as Chancellor of the Exchequer is enough to soothe his wounded heart to a certain extent. As for Mansfield, let him continue to stay in his original position. After this incident, he has become more honest. , you can use it with complete confidence. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to give me my gift to remind them that I know all these nonsense, and I have evidence on my hand.”

Regarding that farce, Duke Protector did not plan to investigate it to the end.

Politics is all about compromise, and Marshall and Mansfield have put Kaedwen together so well that what they embezzle from it is a drop in the bucket compared to the value they create.

So Duke Hu is willing to turn a blind eye to those things, and his attitude towards these things is more like a monkey show.

"Then Lord Dunwa...we let him do that?"

"Where is Dunwa? Oh, Geralt's matter, let him let Triss go if he wants to let him go, anyway, I didn't intend to really do anything to this female sorceress, just to teach her a little lesson. "

As a cautious person, Hemei certainly didn't dare to do anything to Triss, even the detention was actually under house arrest, and the treatment was similar to her outside.

And he didn't plan to keep the sorceress for a long time, he would find a chance to get her out sooner or later.

"Don't forget to send my friendship, though, to let them know whose consent made all this happen."

"Yes."

"Also, is the black material of Dunwa processed almost?"

"It has basically been resolved. Our people have seen Lord Dunwa burn the original document. It is not a problem at all if the other copies are burned."

Regarding Dunva's black material, Herme knew what it was. It was a record about the dwarf's participation in the inhuman race resistance organization.

For Dunwa, this is a painful memory of his youth and ignorance, and it is also a terrible place. Even now, if this matter is brought out, the public opinion caused is enough to force Herme to replace the chief civil servant.

"I hope that this time, the dwarves can learn a lesson and don't ignore the impact of the document."

Herme sighed.

"Look at that slippery guy from Malxiu. He avoids written documents if he can. He never dares to speak loudly or say much in recorded formal occasions. However, he has only done so until now. He has developed this skill. He was also tricked in this way when he first entered the officialdom. Everyone has this process. By the way, talking about this, is that thing ready? In the future, Mal Xiu will be under his hands. That thing can kill this slippery guy."

"Get ready, our people will submit it to Lord Dunwa at the right time."

"Very well, let's do this, but pay attention, I have dealt with this aspect of the Dunwan guy. I don't want these guys to become a whole in the future."

There is a reason for Heme to say this. How did a colluding political group form?The answer is that you have my gossip, and I have yours, so everyone is naturally "one of us".

And this is what Hemei doesn't want to see, Dunwa is his lonely minister, and he also hopes that this person will always be his lonely minister.

The ability of this dwarf is very good, and his moral character is also very precious in the Aden government that is full of all kinds of corrupt elements. He doesn't want such a good official to be corrupted in the end, so that he loses a bureaucratic group excellent tool.

"By the way, how is the battle going now? Have you detected Emhyr's new movements?"

"The Emperor is currently increasing troops in the Pontar River and Anglin areas. Based on the information we gathered, Emhyr may want to launch attacks in both directions to prevent our country and Redania from cooperating with each other."

"Two fists?"

This made Herme frowned, how dare Emhyr do this?
"Emhyr is really generous. Since that's the case, let's see what the emperor's level is like. Let's make preparations. I'm going to the front line of Anglin."

"Yes."
