Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 190 The War of Willen
Although the night is already dark, even if the night falls, it cannot stop human beings from fighting each other with passion.

Velen has always been known for its large number of monsters, but now that humans are fighting on a large scale, all the monsters have shrunk their heads as much as possible, even at night.

The corpse-eating monsters are eager to try. They are waiting for the battle to end so that they can go to the battlefield to eat corpses.

And even the local gangsters didn't dare to show up, because they knew that if the two families were offended, it would only be a matter of time before they eliminated them.

After these powerful dragons are gone, why not continue to live the same life as before?

Under the watchful eye of the King of Redania, who was wearing golden armor, groups of Redanian soldiers in red robes and red armor attacked the high slopes where the Nilfgaardians were entrenched.

The Nilfgaardians set up a large number of offensives on the high slopes, and arrows continued to rain down, but the Redanians had already stepped forward firmly.

Because in the eyes of the Redanians, victory must belong to them.

Even if their comrades continue to fall on the way forward, they remain determined.

Previous victories have convinced them of their current victory.

Countless people held torches in their hands, and when these torches were gathered together, from a distance, they looked like a fire dragon that was constantly folding and changing its shape.

For the soldiers inside, all this is like a whirlpool, sweeping them into it.

The king of Redania, Radovid, was wearing golden armor and looked at the Redanian soldiers in red robes and red armor pressing on the Nilfgaardian battle line like a tide.

This was one of the few moments when Radovid got off his ship. After all, in the entire Redania, he only trusted himself to lead the army.

Of course, he had to be arrested for escort work, so he was surrounded by Redanian soldiers.

The tin cans wrapped Radovid in three layers, inside and outside, and even formed human walls.

Between the human walls, there are many Redanian archers. Their vigilant eyes are watching anything suspicious, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

Referring to the security work of the Lord Protector of Aedirn, Radovid made the number of his guards comparable to a small army, and the soldiers of this army had to be searched for three generations before they could enter.

This is even harsher than that of the Lord Protector of Aedirn. It can be said that it is simply impossible to assassinate Radovid here.

A group of Redanian Halberdiers went to the battlefield at the call of the officer. They wore pot helmets and breastplates and joined the raging battle on the high slopes.

The Nilfgaardians set up extremely strong shield walls. With the omnipresent firelight on the battlefield, those shield walls seemed endless.

Crossbows and muskets ruthlessly poured out pieces of firepower. Many people fell under the gunfire. The artillery roared from time to time. While bringing brief flashes of fire, it created a lot of stumps and broken arms on the battlefield.

The shield wall disintegrated in the gunfire, but more battle groups gathered in a blink of an eye, and the battle lines continued to twist and turn, showing the fierceness of the battle.

However, if you look at it from the sky, you will find that the Nilfgaardians are the ones being constantly eroded. The men in black are slowly losing ground. If this continues, the failure of the men in black will only be a matter of time.

But Radovid was still unhappy.

He remembered the name of the Nilfgaardian general opposite was Morvan Voris. Radovid had to admit that this man made the most correct choice.

Regarding this Fulis, Radovid knew his information very well. The young master of the City of Golden Towers had the military ability to command at most one division. If he had any more, he would be dead.

This is why Radovid chose to launch such a large-scale offensive in the dark, taking advantage of the inexperience of the opponent and the generally depressed mentality of the Nilfgaardian army.

Radovid's strategy was correct. At the beginning, the Nilfgaardians were almost defeated at the first touch. The Redanian army quickly came to Morvan's main force and immediately began the siege.

Facing the orderly attacks from Redanian armies from all directions, Morvan adopted a strategy that was not the best, but was the most suitable for now.

He asked the troops to stand still and wait for reinforcements, then filled in the uneven areas of the troops with more troops, and then gathered all the troops together as much as possible, so that the Nilfgaardian army formed a formation like an iron barrel.

The infantry formed a shield wall, the cavalry dismounted and tied up their horses to form a battle line, and combined with the artillery, a solid battle line was formed.

Faced with such a formation, for the Redanians, if they want to take down the enemy, they have to chew through the Nilfgaardian military formations one by one, cut out gaps one by one, and then disintegrate Nilfgaard. German.

Radovid never expected that Morvan would adopt this "entire army waiting to die" strategy. In addition, it was dark, and it was not easy to see the enemy clearly.

Therefore, he didn't realize that this was the case until all the Redanians had invaded.

At this stage, Radovid no longer had the ability to control the frontline troops.

If he had known from the beginning that the Nilfgaardians actually chose to stay together, he would have had many ways to deal with the Nilfgaardians.

The enemy's persistence means that he directly throws away the initiative, and he can operate however he wants.

It's no longer possible. In the fighting on the front line, only captain-level figures can command a few people around them.

In other words, in addition to constantly adding fuel to the battlefield, Radovid can only blow the horn and order the entire army to retreat.

And as the fighting time went by, the problems of the Redanian army were also revealed bit by bit.

After all, Radovid launched this battle in the dark. At night, the organization of the army will be seriously affected.

There are a lot of stragglers, which is the least harmful of many problems.

For example, if the troops take the wrong path, or even mistake the identity of the opposite party and start fighting, the harm caused is really terrible.

These things also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the Redanian army, resulting in many non-combat attrition.

It can be said that the offensive can be maintained now purely because of the poor performance of the Nilfgaardians on the opposite side.

For example, right now, Radovid actually knows that if the battle continues like this, the problem of the Redanians' lack of stamina will break out...

"Let the Kovir come up and let them attack from the left, where there is an opening for the Nilfgaardians."

Radovid was unwilling to admit his defeat. An opportunity to completely defeat the Nilfgaard army was right in front of him, and he could not let it be lost in his hands.

Hearing Radovid's words, there was a commotion among the officers and nobles. Everyone present was also a veteran on the battlefield, and they all could see what the current war situation was like.

In their opinion, they have gained enough things so far, and they should retreat instead of continuing to fight here.

But during this period of time, Radovid has used various unequivocal actions to prove his ability and character - the last person who raised objections to Radovid is still hanging on the wall of Tritog.

Since purging the sorceresses and taking complete control of power, Radovid has shown strong abilities and managed everything in an orderly manner, both in terms of national affairs and the military.

The annexation of Kevir brought his reputation and Redania's national power to a peak.

But at the same time, Radovid's cruelty was also revealed.

He executed the former members of the regency council with cruel methods. They were either hanged or poisoned, and then sent all those who had been attached to the sorceress to the army's cannon fodder camp.

During the suppression of Kevir, Radovid used extremely cruel suppression methods against various free towns that resisted.

From tearing apart cars to beheadings, and slaughtering cities as a deterrent, Radovid used all kinds of methods against Kevir.

It was also because of this that Radovid was able to suppress Kevir in one winter.

After all, for a land like Kevir, military strength alone is not enough to suppress it. You have to show ruthlessness and use cruelty to deter these unruly people.

Therefore, no one dared to raise objections to Radovid.

Next, with the sound of a horn, a group of soldiers with the redania and kovir coats of arms rushed forward. Following Radovid's order, they took a circuitous route in the designated direction.

While this troop was moving, Radovid suddenly saw many fires appearing in the darkness in the distance.

And as time went on, there were more and more fires.

King Redania subconsciously felt bad. He remembered that there were no cavalry deployed in that direction.

That is, in an instant, a cavalry appeared behind the detouring Kevir people.

The Kovirs apparently did not react and did not realize the identity of their enemies.This made Radovid extremely anxious. This was torturing him. How could those people do this!How could their reaction be so slow!

It wasn't until the enemy was extremely close to them that they took a stance to respond.

And at the next moment, these Nilfgaardian cavalry crushed into the Kovir people, and then there was a wailing and screaming.

"Damn that idiot, I'm going to hang his whole family."

Radovid couldn't help but curse the general who led the Kovir people, especially after he saw the Nilfgaardians lighting the Kovir flag, his anger reached its peak.

The Kovirs were quickly defeated, and the soldiers who encountered the sudden attack obviously had no fighting spirit.

Fortunately, the nearby private armies of Redanian nobles stepped forward and prevented these Nilfgaardians from further assault.

However, the collapse of this Kevir force caused a chain reaction on the entire battlefield. The morale of Nilfgaardian soldiers everywhere was greatly boosted, and the Redanians clearly felt that the enemy in front of them was becoming difficult to deal with.

Radovid's expression became even more ugly. Upon seeing this, the nearby Redanian attendants and officers all moved back a few steps - no one wanted to become a victim of Radovid's wrath.

A fireball hit the Redanian line and exploded in front of Radovid's eyes. The unlucky guy who was stained with flames fell in pain in the flames.

The flames and the red color of Redania looked so "matchy", and the "match" made Radovid's anger even higher.

However, at this moment when Radovid was about to explode, a piece of news arrived, which alleviated Radovid's anger and silenced the bomb that was about to explode.

"Your Majesty! Marshal Blunkett is here!"

This voice was like gospel, and it fell on everyone's ears, especially Radovid, whose mood immediately changed.

In the distance, a huge army was seen marching to the battlefield in an orderly manner under the light of fire. Above their heads was the Redanian eagle soaring high.

Marshal Blenheim Blenkert, the hero of the most critical moment of the Battle of Brenner, the Marshal of Redania.

In Radovid's arrangement, Blunkert was responsible for leading the rear troops holding down the formation, and also had the responsibility of gathering stray soldiers.

Brunkte has always been rigorous in running the army, so this Redanian army also looks quite majestic.

"Tell Blunkett to immediately go back to the rear of the Nilfgaardians. Victory will definitely belong to us!"

Originally, Radovid had planned to go into battle himself, and his guards were also a powerful army, but the arrival of Marshal Brunkett made Radovid give up this idea.

Radovid actually cherished his life, but he never showed it.

He remembered his father's great achievements and his father's death on the eve of his grand ambition.

Therefore, Radovid cherishes his life very much and cannot die. If he dies, he will have nothing.

While saying this, Radovid's face was extremely ferocious, and his eyes looking at the Nilfgaard flag were filled with hatred.

The hatred was so strong that the nearby Redanians involuntarily took a few steps back.

Now Redanians are becoming more and more afraid of Radovid, and the young monarch is becoming more and more elusive.

Then, Radovid watched a large number of Redanian troops rushing towards the enemy camp, and watching the red tide surge, the king's mood became better and better.

"Lord Torres, more Redanians are coming!"

Torres, who was taking a short break, heard this and quickly got on his horse and looked at Redania's main formation.

Torres is surrounded by resting cavalry. When their comrades fighting on the front line return, they will take over their comrades' positions and join the fight.

And what that voice said was true. A large number of Redanian soldiers seemed to have formed a red tide and were entering the battle formation.

Moreover, on both wings, there were a large number of Redanian knights entering the battle. The Redanian horses beneath them looked so majestic and highly desirable.

The Redanian knights' bright armor gleamed under the firelight, and the red color of their shields, headdresses and cloaks made them look extremely powerful.

The knights are organized according to their hometown, bloodline and training. The most basic knight unit is called the flag spear, and there are dozens of flag spears here.

And their combat prowess is fully worthy of their gorgeous decorations. Even in Nilfgaard, the Redanian Knights are a well-known presence.

"Great Sun Disk, everyone mount up! We have to risk our lives!"

Seeing the appearance of the Redanian Knights, Torres, who had always hated the Great Sun Disk, also subconsciously mentioned the god he didn't like.

Then he led the mounted cavalry to charge against the Redanians.

Torres knew that those Redanian knights could not be allowed to enter the battlefield. If they arrived on the battlefield, the front line would collapse.

That boy Morvan did a good job, but he just let the troops stand firm. For his level, this was correct, but it also caused the army to be passive.

All I can say is that you have to pay for what you gain.

Therefore, it is now up to him, Torres, to turn the tide.

Subconsciously, the former Nilfgaardian Emperor couldn't help but think of the days when he served under an emperor.

He was like this at that time, constantly trying to turn the tide and clean up all kinds of messes. Finally, his dissatisfaction with the emperor finally broke out, so he overthrew the emperor and made himself the emperor of the empire.

This scene now is really similar to those days...

When the battle between Nilfgaard and Redania reached a climax, what no one noticed was that on the edge of the battlefield, a white-haired girl appeared...

"Damn it! Kelby, why is it a battlefield again!"

Looking at the melee around her, Xili muttered a bunch of curse words that she had learned while fighting in the Southern Empire.

She really had just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. She had been almost caught by the wild hunt just now. She relied on her ability to escape the hunt, but in the end she was teleported to the battlefield.

"Witch!"

Some northerners shouted in horror,
"I'm not……"

Before Xili could finish her words, a spear was thrust at her. If Kelby hadn't suddenly raised his body, she would have been stabbed.

The soldier's face was full of madness. It was obvious that his mind was already deeply involved in this battle, and he regarded everyone as the enemy if he didn't see his own logo.

"Damn it, you don't listen to me, do you?"

Ciri stabbed the soldier with the Redanian red eagle on his chest and fell down, but more soldiers were coming, shouting to kill the witch.

Ciri had no choice but to control the horse and run around in this chaotic battlefield, constantly dodging attacks and avoiding the fate of hitting people.

Then Xili was shocked to find that the scale of this battlefield was really scary.

This also made her realize that she might not have entered the battlefield of the Civil War.

However, after the shock, what came next in Xili's heart was joy. Such a large battlefield was also conducive to her hiding.

As for why I said this, it was because after a while, waves appeared in the sky, and waves of coldness also poured out of them.

Next, the portal began to appear, and the rings composed of waves began to take shape, and energy was constantly stirring within them.

Next, countless soldiers were shocked to find that countless wild hunting appeared in the sky, and more wild hunting were rushing out of the portal.

Everyone stopped fighting involuntarily. For no other reason than this scene in the sky was beyond their imagination.
