Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 197 The Defeat of Radovid
After the Ofir people were forced to retreat, the balance of the battlefield began to rapidly move in a direction that was not conducive to Redania.

The Nilfgaardian Guards quickly opened up the battle and continued to expand the results. The Redania battle formation began to waver after being attacked from the side, and the wavering quickly turned into collapse.

"Your Majesty, nothing can be done. Please retreat quickly."

"No, it's absolutely impossible. Victory belongs to me. Victory Redania. I will never fail. You don't have to persuade me. I will join the battle myself!"

Radovid looked almost crazy now. His eyes were bloodshot, showing how angry he was, and his chest was rising and falling crazily due to his emotions.

King Redania has become more and more nervous recently, but his current appearance still scares them.

This was the first time they had seen the king become like this.

Facing Radovid's violent roar, Marshal Brunkett sighed, how did things become like this?
When His Majesty Radovid regained power from Philippa, Blunkert was not optimistic about the situation.

Yes, Philippa has a lot of problems, and indeed there are a lot of suspicious things, and Blunkett dislikes her very much.

However, he must also admit that during the Second Northern War, it was under Philippa's governance that Redania was not in chaos due to the assassination of the king.

After the war, Philippa's administrative ability was also remarkable, and she generally maintained the stability of the country.

Although there was a farce of nobles and troops petitioning, the problem was finally solved.

Therefore, when Radovid, who did not know the composition geometry, came to power, it was normal for Blunkert not to be optimistic.

Especially when the kingdom faced Nilfgaard and moved north again, the Third Northern War suddenly broke out, and a young king sitting there was really worrying.

But then, Radovid's performance gave everyone who didn't think highly of him a resounding slap.

Under his leadership, Redania was able to annex the shameful kingdom of Kovir and obtain a large amount of resources.

Then Radovid used a series of thunderous means to shock and deal with various factions at home and abroad, uniting Redania. The means were so swift and vicious that Brunkett could not tell that he was a young man.

During this period, Radovid performed extremely wisely and bravely, winning the support of almost everyone in Redania.

At that time, Brunkett felt that Redania finally had a wise monarch. Under his leadership, Redania would surely become great, and even become the unquestioned overlord of the north again.

Or just go ahead and unify the entire north in one step.

Then Blunkert saw a change in Radovid's mood.

To be honest, cruelty, ruthlessness and exploitation are nothing in a monarch.

It can even be said that this is a good thing.

After all, as the saying goes, isn’t exploitation by the aristocracy just and natural?
What's more, in such a world of great conflict, it's not about who is more ruthless, but who can extract resources from the land to carry out war.

But Radovid's emotional changes were very abnormal.

He became more and more neurotic, suspicious of everyone, and his thinking became more and more self-centered.

He also told various riddles from time to time and frequently hacked and killed his subordinates.

For example, the Redanian nobles' contribution to the country is something that has been running in this kingdom for countless years.

But Radovid believed that the nobles simply did not do enough.

Radovid's current attitude is that as long as he does not invest all the financial and manpower of the family in the war, it is disloyal to the kingdom and an act of rebellion.

When Radovid decides that a certain noble family is a traitor, the noble family will soon die inexplicably.

Don't ask, just ask because the robbers did it. As for why the robbers are so fierce, that's not something you should know.

Under such circumstances, the nobles naturally had no choice but to contribute everything they had to the kingdom's war.

Thanks to Radovid's lofty reputation, his actions did not have much impact. On the contrary, the support of the people and ordinary soldiers increased for him. From the perspective of the bottom, the nobles "should have been rectified long ago."

In fact, this is quite normal behavior to strengthen centralization of power. It is nothing more than a too drastic move. However, after Blunkert watched the entire process of Radovid's decision-making, he finally had to admit one thing.

That is, the king's emotions will become extremely intense from time to time, and His Majesty the King who falls into such emotions will make everyone who sees him feel extremely frightened.

Radovid still has abilities, this must be admitted, but being around this king is becoming more and more dangerous.

So, in the moment of watching Radovid go berserk, Marshal Blunkert made a difficult decision.

"Your Majesty, please retreat. The battle situation on the front line has completely collapsed. If we don't retreat, something unspeakable may happen. Redania still needs you."

While saying these words, Blunkert made a gesture to his soldiers. The soldiers felt a little unbelievable, but they still obeyed Blunkett's order and started taking action.

At the same time, the Redanian army on the front line was further collapsing due to the Nilfgaardian army pressing on from the right. Everyone could see that the battle had actually failed, but Radovid was unwilling to admit it.

"Things that cannot be said? Brent, what do you mean? You want to..."

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

The marshal suddenly interrupted the king, and just when Radovid, who had not experienced any confrontation for a long time, was stunned, he suddenly hit the king on the bald head with a stick.

After receiving such a blow, the king fell immediately, but at the critical moment he was caught by Brunkt's soldiers who were ready.

This stunned all the nearby Redanian courtiers and guards, who did not expect that Marshal Brunkett would suddenly make such a move.

However, the guards reacted quickly. The moment the king was attacked, they drew their swords.

"Are you going to assassinate the king, Marshal Blunkett?"

"No, I want the king to leave the battlefield, and I will fight to the death here."

This is the decision Blunkett made. Now it is really getting more and more dangerous around Radovid.

Radovid may be able to lead Redania to greatness, but he doesn't want to be hanged for no reason one day due to the king's madness.

Therefore, instead of doing that, he might as well die here and still have a good reputation.

He is not worried about Redania. Although Radovid is crazy, his abilities are there, so he still thinks more about himself.

As a veteran of three dynasties who had experienced the rule of Vizmir, Philippa, and Radovid, Blunkert felt that now that Radovid was becoming more and more crazy, he would sooner or later become a victim of the king's madness.

Therefore, he decided to seize this opportunity, send the king away, and then find his own death.

"You... okay, I understand."

After hearing the marshal's words, the guard captain was surprised but not surprised. At the same time, he felt relaxed. The marshal had helped them solve a big trouble.

The defeat was a fact that everyone saw, so everyone wanted to take Radovid away by force, but the king was so crazy that no one dared to do it.

The guards and courtiers retreated in relief, and Brunkt stood where Radovid once stood, wearing Radovid's helmet on his head, and the top of the helmet was carved into the shape of an eagle.

"Follow me into the battle."

Leading his own soldiers, Marshal Brunkett fearlessly entered the battlefield.

Because of his helmet, many Redanians believed that His Majesty Radovid had personally joined the battle, and their morale could not help but be boosted, and they continued to join Brunkt's team.

Gradually, a red torrent of counterattack appeared. The Nilfgaardians were caught off guard, and the offensive came to a halt.

Marshal Blunkert had some vague hopes in his heart. Maybe if this continues, he can win?
However, next, the Iron Giant walked towards the battlefield.

These war machines belonging to the Imperial Security Office can be said to have been born just for this moment.

Looking at these giant robots, Blunkett sighed, the reality is still so cruel.

The moment they appeared, Blunkert knew that failure was doomed.

But he still rushed towards the Iron Giant without hesitation, just like every brave Redanian knight.

.When the Lord Protector of Aedirn arrived on the battlefield, what he saw was the collapse of the battle situation.

Looking from where Hemei was, he saw the red tide collapsing in front of the black tide, turning into a pile of loose sand.

Marshal Brunkt had been trampled to death by Nilfgaard's Iron Giant. With his death, the Redanians' counterattack became impossible.

The flags with the red eagles of Redania are also falling one after another. The soldiers who once fought proudly under these flags are now running away in a hurry.

In sharp contrast to this is the advancing Nilfgaardian flag. The men in black are hunting down the Redanians, but they prefer to knock the Redanians unconscious and use them as slaves. After all, they are all Money.

There is no doubt that the Redanians are losing and the situation is irreversible.

It's not that there were no Redanians who wanted to reverse the situation. They mustered up the courage to swim against the current.

But the result of their rowing against the current was that they soon crashed into pieces on the rocks, just like Marshal Blunkett.

Hemei was a little surprised by this. He did not expect that the Redanians would lose so miserably when he arrived.

Originally, in Herme's imagination, Radovid should be in a hard fight when he arrived, and the Aedirn cavalry would be the final blow to end the battle.

The Lord Protector knew that the Nilfgaardians on Vizima's side were powerful, so he planned to let Radovid carry the main line while he followed behind to look for opportunities to attack the Nilfgaardians.

But now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Redanians' failure is irreversible.

"Lord Protector, what should we do?"

Valentine asked, his words representing the common attitude of the cavalry behind the Protector, what should we do?
Herme looked at the battlefield again and found that the Nilfgaardians were reorganizing in his direction. Apparently they had noticed their arrival, and some Nilfgaardian cavalry were rushing in this direction.

Moreover, several melodious horns sounded in the city, and then a large number of Nilfgaardian soldiers poured out from the city gate and drove towards them.

This made Herme raise her eyebrows. Damn it, Emhyr, you bastard, you actually have such a back-up plan.

Those flags were very unfamiliar to Herme, having never seen them before, which indicated that they were newly built troops after the Second Northern War.

Combined with his knowledge of frontline intelligence, most of these people are Emhyr's direct descendants.

Herme really wanted to have a fight with the Nilfgaardians. It would be great if the little bald man could be more powerful. Then he could make the final decision.

Hemei now has [-] cavalry under his command, most of whom are Harklan nomads, and the rest are some knights and levy troops.

It's okay to have such strength to fight and assist, but if you want to go head-to-head with the Nilfgaardian army, then...

But at this time, Herme saw the Redanian soldiers who were constantly fleeing.

Seeing them being skillfully knocked unconscious and captured by the Nilfgaardians, the Lord Protector frowned, and he also made a decision in his heart.

"Saskia."

"I'm here, Lord Protector."

The Saint of Aedirn was very eager to try, and the battle situation in front of her did not make her feel much embarrassed about the situation.

In the eyes of others, Sakia was overconfident, while Herme curled her lips. It would be strange for Sakia not to be so confident, but he knew who this woman was.

Looking at the young animals who were infatuated with Saskia, Herme wanted to tell them what Saskia was.

This is for their future consideration. If one of them really catches up with Saskia or goes to bed with Saskia, Hemei doubts that something unspeakable will happen...

But looking at the yearning and enthusiasm that could not be hidden in the eyes of those young animals, Hemei thought it was better to forget it and not pour cold water on them. It was good for young people to have ambitions.

"When you go to plunder the formation, you can't fall into the enemy's formation or suffer too much loss, but you can't let the Nilfgaardians escape. Is there any problem?"

"of course not."

As always, Saskia is still so confident.

Actually, for a moment, Herme wanted to order Saskia to rush directly into the Nilfgaardian battle formation and chop off Emhyr's head.

Hemei believed that with her ability, it would definitely not be a problem.

But if this is the case, Saskia's human game won't be able to continue, and the dragon will probably leave.

If you lose a fierce warrior on the battlefield because of this, it's not worth it.

So, let her go and cause trouble for the Nilfgaardians. Herme believed that with her ability, holding the Nilfgaardians back would not be a problem at all.

"As for the others, they will move freely next, but they must attack the black-clad army chasing the Redanians and provide the Redanians with as many opportunities as possible to escape."

This is the method Heme came up with. Now he will definitely not be able to defeat the Nilfgaardians, so he should focus on causing trouble for the Nilfgaardians.

When a sizable team has been harassing the Nilfgaardians, the men in black will definitely gather the troops so that more Redanians can be saved.

Of course, it's just more, not all. After all, there are still a few people like Hemei.

So, next, the Nilfgaardians experienced "happiness".

The Haklan nomads rushed decisively into the battle formation of the men in black who were scattered due to the pursuit.

They either trample them with their horses or shoot with their bows, and the Nilfgaardians fall down one by one.

Those who did not fall were so frightened that they subconsciously formed a battle formation to form a shield wall and stopped the pursuit.

What surprised them was that the cavalry who suddenly rushed out did not collide with them at all. Instead, they turned their horses around and circled the battlefield, shooting arrows or surrounding and killing the scattered Nilfgaardians.

If a Nilfgaardian takes the initiative to attack, these nomadic cavalry will turn around and run away. If they keep chasing, they will be led into a trap.

It can be said that many Nilfgaardians were forced to reorganize their lines because of the presence of these cavalry, and were unable to pursue the fleeing Redanians.

On the side that formed a special formation to deal with the Aedirian cavalry, it was a different style.

Round after round of heavy cavalry crashed into the Nilfgaardian shield wall, but they did not go deep at all. Instead, they focused on "peeling" the Nilfgaardian army's formation, cutting out a piece of Nilfgaardian cavalry, and then Crush over.

Naturally, the Nilfgaardians continued to send cavalry to fight back, but the woman leading these cavalry was really fierce. She was like a war machine. Whatever stood in front of her would be crushed very quickly. She would kill Capture the flag is even better.

The Nilfgaardians sent out more than a dozen teams of cavalry in succession, but they still fell into disgrace in front of this woman. They were constantly beheaded, and the team collapsed.

"Men of Aedirn, you have come at the right time."

On the city wall, Emhyr saw the harassment of the Aedirian cavalry. His originally high mood was like a bucket of cold water being poured on him, and his tone became so low.

He could see that the Aedianites simply did not have enough troops, but they did not have enough troops, but they could still disgust him like this.

If the Nilfgaardian army really doesn't care about these Aedirnians and pursues the Redanians on its own, then the situation in the battle may be overturned.

"Tell the front line that if you encounter harassment from the Aedianites, stop advancing and stay on the spot. If you don't encounter them, then keep pursuing me and don't stop."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Emhyr's words can be regarded as bringing this battle to an end.

As he thought, all the Aedirnians could do was harass. After the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, as the Redanians moved away from the battlefield, the Aedirnians also withdrew from the battlefield. After all, the mission had been achieved. If you stay here any longer, you'll easily end up dead.

For the Nilfgaardians, this victory was beyond doubt.

However, the Aedirnians suddenly intervened, causing the Nilfgaardians to be harassed a lot, and the efficiency of the pursuit was greatly reduced.

I have to say, this is disgusting.

However, victory is victory, and this victory also saved Nilfgaard's precarious war situation and brought new changes to the war situation.
