Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 201 Assassination of the Eagle King ([-] words)
After being stopped by the Ofel people, Geralt was taken to the area where the Ofel people lived.

The Ophir people were very generous. They purchased a slum near the sea and then directly bulldozed the slum and rebuilt it.

Everyone in Novigrad supports the Ofeir people's large-scale construction projects.

Under the influence of the war, many industries in this free city were affected, resulting in many unemployed people.

Not to mention the refugees pouring into the cities, who are also in desperate need of work to support themselves.

As a result, Novigrad during this time was filled with mature men who could not find work.

This is naturally a big crisis for Novigrad.

These people are the real targets of instability. If they cause trouble, it will definitely be a big trouble.

And Novigrad is not easy to deal with this problem. After all, they are a neutral free city-state, and they cannot be like Redania, where they can arrest unemployed migrants and force them into the army.

As for maintaining all these people, it would be a great test on the city's finances.

And now, the Opel people are paying to hire out all these unemployed people.

They carried out large-scale construction projects, purchased many resources, and promoted the opening of several industries in the city.

It also made the Novigrad futures trading market, which had been dormant for a period of time due to the fluctuations of the war, a lot more active.

The unemployed who had money in their pockets were able to spend their wages, and the environment in Novigrad improved a lot for a while.

So, of course, we must support the actions of the Opel people.

Now this city needs such wealthy people to spend money to stimulate consumption in the city and promote urban circulation.

Therefore, when Geralt came to the area where the Ofer people lived, what he saw was the appearance of a large-scale construction project.

There are workers everywhere, building buildings under the guidance of Ofel engineers.

The port area of ​​the Ofel settlement has been completed. Compared with the original small trestle, the Ofel people directly upgraded these buildings and even built a pavilion for tourists to watch.

The unemployed people in the city are now basically gathered here, and the entire area seems extremely busy.

At the same time, land near the city has also welcomed many new visitors.

The people of Novigrad are very good at looking for opportunities in this big city. Now that the Ofel people are building such a large city, it is a good opportunity no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, the land nearby has naturally increased.

Of course, this is not all because of the business opportunities that the Ofeier people may bring. Many people come here in search of safety.

The streets of Novigrad are always chaotic, with street wars and criminals under the protection of various gangs harming people's lives almost all the time.

But now, the Ofel people have entered the city with an extremely strong attitude. Every Novigrad person can see that this Ofel settlement will become a relatively stable area from now on.

That can naturally attract a lot of people.

Therefore, when the whole of Novigrad became somewhat depressed due to the war, this Ofel settlement showed a different kind of prosperity and style.

"Your place is much more lively than other places in Novigrad."

Geralt saw everything in his eyes and said subconsciously.

"After all, our King has invested so many resources into this city."

Rhytia gave Geralt a charming smile.

"This place will become more and more prosperous in the future. It is estimated that some immigrants will arrive in a while, and this land will be filled with countless wealth in the future."

"Isn't your king afraid that the attempt will be in vain? Isn't he afraid that Emhyr will win this war?"

Geralt then asked. He didn't want to ask at first, but he was really curious about how these Ophir people thought that they would invest so many resources in the unpredicted situation of the northern war.

"Witcher, it seems that your understanding of the north is not even as good as mine. The northerners will win the war, and we are just the icing on the cake."

Laetia said firmly, which made Geralt speechless for a while, and he didn't know what these people saw.

"Maybe."

In the end, he just spit out this sentence.

Next, the group of people entered the deeper layers of the Ofir settlement. As they went deeper, Geralt discovered that the further inside, the more complete the buildings were. Looking up from time to time, he could see some onions full of exotic colors. People wearing exotic costumes can also be seen.

The dancers of Ophel danced on the street, the snake charmers let the snakes shake their heads amidst the sound of the flute, and the spice merchants were selling their goods to pedestrians all the time.

For a moment, Geralt even thought he had arrived in the far south country.

At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the exaggeration of King Ofel's capital and the power of Ofel's fleet.

How long did it take before such a prosperous colony was built across the entire Nilfgaard Empire?

They finally entered a gorgeous Ofel building. Seeing the gorgeous onions of the building and the beautiful and complicated lines everywhere, Bai Lang was sure that this must be the place where the ruler of Ofel lived. .

Then he felt a strong feeling of tiredness. May they all catch the plague. He never wanted to have anything to do with the rulers, but the more things developed, the more his relationship with these rulers became worse. deep.

I don’t know when these damn days will end...

After entering this building, Geralt was able to see the luxury of the great man of Ofel. The air was filled with the smell of incense, and all kinds of gorgeous decorations could be seen everywhere. The furniture and cushions were made of extraordinary materials and craftsmanship.

"Laetia, why don't you go find His Highness and bring a northerner here?"

On the way, they met a group of Ophir people, led by a bald Ophir warlock with a wand. He was wearing a gorgeous yellow robe and exuded a strong sense of calmness just by standing there. Majestic temperament.

Looking at this man, Geralt felt that his intuition was going crazy. The man in front of him was very strong, very strong.

"Master Ahmed, this is a demon hunter. I asked him to help find His Highness and solve the curse on His Highness. I believe that with his help, we can achieve our goal soon."

Laetia respected this man very much and kept her attitude very low.

"Mutant? I hope so. I hope you can produce results as soon as possible. If you still fail to accomplish anything in this mission, Leitia, the day when you take my place will be getting further and further away."

Ahmed's words obviously touched on Laetia's pain point, and Geralt clearly saw the sorceress tremble.

Ahmed glanced at her disdainfully, then walked over without looking back, not even looking at Geralt.

"The showy old goat!"

Laetia cursed in a low voice, and Geralt shrugged, pretending not to hear.

Then things went much smoother, and Geralt was able to come to a room with a large board filled with various information and drawings.

Geralt was not polite and looked at it directly. He also thought that this was not the reason why these people came to him.

"So, you want me to find a big toad."

Geralt sees things very quickly. He has already developed his speed by looking at various commissions for a long time, and he quickly extracted the essence from it.

"That is His Royal Highness Prince Servat."

Laetia emphasized that he obviously respected his highness.

"As long as you find our prince, we will tell you the news about Ciri, and at the same time, you will also receive generous rewards from the Ofel royal family."

Geralt raised his eyebrows, and it was like this again. He never had a choice but to act according to the will of the big shots.

Oh, of course, there are also some big shots who have been bitten.

"What is the prince of Ofel doing in the north?"

"It was an order from His Majesty the King. He wanted to deepen the relationship with the North, so he asked His Highness to marry a noble woman from the North, but something like this happened."

This king's work is really exaggerated, Geralt thought, and as soon as he got the work, he was swarmed with people from the army, immigrants, fleets, and even his son.

"I have accepted this commission. I hope you will keep your promise, madam."

"Ofeier people have always been honest."

In this way, the witcher and the sorceress reached an agreement.

.

Geralt moves very quickly. As a demon hunter, what he is best at is finding people and monsters.

Using the map of the Novigrad sewers, various reports of toad sightings and activities, and his judgment of the creature's habits, Geralt quickly determined its location.

However, determining the location is only a theoretical thing after all. If you want to truly confirm the location, you still need to conduct on-site exploration.

Geralt spent a lot of time investigating, and he visited many places in the city's sewers.

Although he made himself dirty every time, the location of the toad became increasingly clear, and Geralt was able to confirm his judgment.

At the same time, through exploration, Geralt went to find his two friends, Dandelion and Triss.

He had not found Dandelion, and had no idea where the great poet had gone.

All he found was a tavern he had inherited, and Zoltan, who had also come here to find Dandelion.

As for Triss, he found her house, but found that it had been ransacked by mage hunters, and was warned by Manji, the leader of witch hunters, when he left.

Seeing that the two old friends could not be found for a while, Geralt had no choice but to focus on the work at hand.

While Geralt was rummaging through sewers all over the city, Novigrad also experienced drastic changes.

A large number of Redanian troops entered the city, and many places were filled with Redanian soldiers.

The people of Novigrad were surprised, but not surprised.

After all, everyone is aware of the current situation. Novigrad was once surrounded by the Redanian army.

Now, many people think that it is only a matter of time before Novigrad is taken over by Redania. Many people even welcome Redania's entry. After all, the Redanian color of this city is so strong.

However, there are also rumors that this is not the Redanians trying to take over the city, but a big shot coming here.

The news didn't cause any waves. This was Novigrad, and there were countless gossips spreading around every day. This news was quickly submerged in the ocean of news, without attracting anyone's attention.

But this did not affect Geralt. After determining the location, Geralt began to take action.

But what he didn't expect was that his employer would actually go with him.

"I must be by the prince's side when he is found!"

After once again rejecting Geralt's persuasion, Leitia said forcefully.

Geralt, on the other hand, looked irritated, bringing someone down who had obviously never been in the sewers... Even though this was a sorceress, Geralt felt like he was bringing a bottle of oil.

As for why Laetia's attitude is so firm, Geralt has been hanging out in the Ofel settlement in the past few days, and he almost knows what's going on.

Laetia wants to become the royal warlock of Ofel, and the current person holding this position is Ahmed, the bald warlock.

(Ahmad is the Ofel mage BOSS in Heart of Stone)

For the sorceress, the only way to replace Ahmed is to find a prince.

"Okay, okay, I promise, you are the employer and you have the final say."

After thinking of this, Geralt relaxed. It seems that this person has to go down, so he agrees. Who is the employer?

.

Charron felt like he was going crazy.

How could that person come here?
Is Radovid crazy?He left the battle situation well and ran to Novigrad instead of directing it.

Charron felt that either he was crazy or the world was crazy. The King of Redania actually sneaked to Novigrad... What on earth was going on?
And as soon as he arrived in Novigrad, Radovid led a large group of people into the sewers. What was he doing?
"Charron, what should we do now? What should we do?"

Chapei said a little at a loss. Charon felt it was a big deal, let alone a shape-shifter like him.

As for why the shapeshifting archbishop is here, it's because this matter is really of great concern and the leaders of this church must be informed.

"Let me think, let me think."

Charron rubbed his temples, trying to think of a way to deal with the current situation.

Radovid is too crucial. No matter what happens to this person in Novigrad, the fire will burn on them.

And what's even more terrible is that if something happens to Radovid, it will definitely have a huge impact on the current situation.

The Nilfgaardians may even approach and annex Redania, which is really unfavorable to Lord Herme's plans.

But it didn't take him long to figure out what to do.

"Master Chape, please also lead the selected battalion into the sewers, and I will follow you. No matter what His Majesty Radovid is doing inside, we must be present."

Charron's idea was simple.

Since Radovid can affect the whole body with one move, then keep an eye on Radovid. As long as nothing happens to Radovid, it will not have a major impact on them.

"But, since His Majesty Radovid entered the sewers in such a secretive manner, doesn't he want us to know about it? If we go there too, will we offend him?"

Chapei remembered the terror of Radovid, and he was a little scared, so he said.

And this made Charon even more tired. Radovid is so public, how could he be afraid of you to follow him.

Next, Charron explained something to Chape. After understanding this, Charron had no objection.

.

Geralt was naturally unaware of these twists and turns. When all parties were moving because of Radovid's appearance, he was burrowing around like a mouse in the sewer.

Different from the many previous experiences of drilling holes alone, this time he was followed by many Ofel soldiers and an Ofel sorceress.

The sorceress Ofel surprised him. He originally thought that with the sorceresses’ bad tempers, they would have to wear those revealing outfits of Ofel again, but this time the sorceress covered herself tightly, covering all parts of her body. They were also protected.

Facing Geralt's surprised gaze, the sorceress gave a brief explanation, "Although I haven't been through the sewers, I have also performed some tasks."

To perform tasks, what other tasks can be performed, of course, tasks that cannot see the light of day.

After learning this, Geralt's view of this woman changed a lot, and he became more wary of her.

Soon, they found traces of toads. Geralt relied on his powerful demon hunter vision to lead everyone forward according to the traces left by toads that ordinary people could not see.

The atmosphere in the Novigrad sewers is very scary. It is full of darkness and stench that have been deliberately forgotten by the citizens. You can also see the bodies of some people who died here. It is uncomfortable to look at it.

What's more, from time to time you can encounter monsters lurking in the garbage. Faced with a sudden attack by these monsters, even a fully armed soldier may be killed in one blow.

However, neither Geralt nor the Ofir had any reaction. The former was a witcher who made a living by doing this. He had been in this place countless times.

As for the latter, they are the elite sent by King Ofel to find the prince. For them, these are not problems at all.

Following the traces, they soon came to a huge water palace.

The so-called water palaces are huge reservoirs in the sewer system. When the slope of the rainwater exceeds the amount of outflow, the rainwater will accumulate in such large water palaces to prevent the city from being flooded.

But the water palace in front of them can now be said to be very, very disgusting.

I saw that the ground of the water palace was covered with green viscous liquid, and it also exuded a strong stench, which made people very, very uncomfortable.

The pillars of the Water Palace are also covered with such things, and the reliefs of gods carved on them are also covered in slime.

"That toad, I mean your prince, should be down there right now."

Looking at the slime, Geralt said, and then he began to apply sword oil on his silver sword, and then drank a bottle of magic potion.

"Let's go according to the plan. I will attract the prince's attention, and you will catch the prince."

After Bai Lang finished speaking, he jumped down without hesitation.

The Ophel people began to prepare, preparing to act as Geralt said later.

Geralt's behavior was very flamboyant. He threw a bomb into the slime himself. As the bomb exploded, the sound echoed throughout the water palace, and a lot of the slime was blown everywhere.

And with the splash of mucus, a huge monster suddenly appeared.

It was a toad with bumps all over its body, and yellow water was constantly flowing out of the bumps. However, this toad was bigger than several people combined. Now, the toad's dim eyes were staring at Geralt.

"Come on, monster!"

Geralt roared, and in the corner of his field of vision, he could see the Ofir people spreading out in an orderly manner, surrounding the monsters.

The toad paid attention to Geralt the whole time and didn't notice the movements of other people at all.

Very good, Bai Lang thought, the plan is going in the direction he planned.

Suddenly, the toad opened its mouth and thrust its tongue towards the witcher at an extremely fast speed, but in the eyes of the witcher, this speed was extremely slow.

He just bent down and avoided such a blow, but then he immediately felt the ground in front of him shake. Subconsciously, the demon hunter rolled on the ground.

This roll caused Geralt to coat himself with green slime, making his whole body extremely dirty.

But he didn't care, he had been through worse situations than this.

And using such a roll to avoid a blow is quite worth it.

Now the toad has appeared where Geralt once stood, and if Geralt hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been crushed to death by now.

The Witcher quickly waved his fingers, and a Seal of Arden was formed, and a purple barrier appeared on the ground.

"Come on! Monster! Come and kill me!"

Geralt tempted the monster to attack him. According to his expectation, the monster should pounce immediately.However, I didn't expect that this monster was not that competitive, and Geralt's attitude made it cautious.

Damn it.Geralt cursed secretly, and then dodged several rapid tongue attacks from the monster, but the monster just wouldn't go up.

The white wolf was really annoyed. Damn it, he wanted to cut off the monster's tongue, but he knew that if he did so, the Orfell sorceress would immediately send him a fireball.

Finally, Geralt decided to take a risk and use a trick that he was not willing to use to quickly end this damn thing.

With this thought in mind, Geralt turned around and exposed his back to the monster. When tempting monsters to attack, this kind of temptation is the greatest. Very few monsters would refuse to attack humans who show their backs.

But this is also extremely dangerous. Exposing your back to the monster also means that you can't see the enemy and have no defense against the enemy.

Finally, the monster moved. Seeing Geralt's exposed back and turning around to escape, the monster's little sense of reason was instantly evaporated, and its primitive animal nature took over.

It pounced, and Geralt seized the opportunity and rolled aside.

The power of Arden's seal was immediately reflected, and the purple magic power immediately surrounded the toad.

Toad felt that his body suddenly became very heavy and his movements became sluggish.

This made it very unhappy, and its little sense finally came back and told it that it had been calculated.

"Go!"

Before the toad had time to do anything, with a shout, large nets were covered, and then someone fixed the toad with ropes.

The Opel people began to take action. They swarmed in from all directions and tried their best to hold down the monster.

Toad naturally struggled crazily next, but there were too many soldiers swarming him, and they were suppressed by the demon hunter's seal.

It became weaker and weaker, until finally, it was tied directly in the net and rope and could not move at all.

But even so, the Ofel people are still adding ropes. Who knows if this monster is accumulating strength?So if we suppress it now, we must continue to suppress it, so that the price will not be able to turn over.

And the witcher and the sorceress were finally able to get close to the toad, oh, I should say the prince.

"It's black magic."

Geralt looked carefully into the toad's eyes and made a conclusion.

"He was cursed by someone who brutally killed him. The curse itself was already strong, and that person's hatred was so strong that it made the hatred go even further."

As a demon hunter who deals with such messy things on a daily basis, he could see what was going on at a glance.

The situation of the prince in front of him is actually very close to that of those cursed werewolves, but this curse is obviously more powerful than the werewolf curse, and it cannot change back to its original shape in a short time like a werewolf.

"Can it be resolved?"

Laetia said nervously that she didn't understand the magic of the north at all, and she didn't know how to solve this kind of black magic.

This might not be a problem if Ahmed, the strongest warlock in Ophir who Laetia had to admit, was here, but he didn't want to share the glory with that damn bald man.

This is why Leitia wants to find Geralt.

"Generally speaking, in order to solve the curse, we must first find the medium that cursed it, but as far as I know, this... the prince was sent to Novigrad from Cowburg for some unknown reason. I think we It’s hard to find the medium.”

Geralt analyzed it like a professional. Listening to his words, Laetia's mood became even lower.

But she didn't say anything, and continued to listen to Geralt.

"However, just because the medium cannot be found does not mean that the problem cannot be solved. There is another way to break the curse, and that is to complete the content of the curse."

"Frog prince?"

When Laetia said this, the expression on her face was very abnormal.

The Frog Prince, this is the story of this monster. I don’t know why, but many people think that the toad is a prince. As long as you kiss the toad, it will turn into a prince.

In Cowburg and Novigrad, this attracted many ignorant women to try it, but they all ended up turning into corpses.

"It's not that, that stuff is too ridiculous. We don't even know whether it is true or not. And the key to this way of breaking the curse is true love. I have seen true love break the curse. Is there anyone here who really loves the prince?"

Geralt's words were not answered, and the reason is self-evident.

"So, we have only one way. We have eliminated this method for a long time, but it can still be used. That is to use enough energy to forcefully break the structure of the curse. This curse is very ancient, but it also has ancient curses. The brutality is purely to forcefully turn people into monsters, so as long as this structure is destroyed, the problem will be solved."

"Can you do it then?"

"I haven't done such sophisticated energy manipulation for a while... I can, we demon hunters need to master this violent curse-breaking ability, but I need magic power, I need enough chaos magic power, my little magic power But I can’t hold it.”

Geralt's subtext was obvious, and when faced with the temptation of rescuing the prince, Laetia was very straightforward. She pulled out an oil lamp directly from her arms.

Looking at this thing, Geralt didn't expect the sorceress to actually take out this thing. A bad premonition emerged in Geralt's head. Could it be...

"Yes, there are Dijings inside, but they are very small ones. We Ofel warlocks have a way to drive these Dijings to provide us with energy."

Bai Lang took the oil lamp. Well, the energy inside was indeed surging.

"Okay, then I'll get started, don't let anyone disturb me."

Next, Geralt continued to cast spells around the toad, using the magic power flowing from the oil lamp to destroy the structure of the curse.

Geralt did this for a long time, and for so long many soldiers began to chat with each other. Leitia had been watching the activities of the witcher.

Finally, a drastic change occurred in the toad. At that moment, the toad turned into a human being, a naked human being.

Facing this scene, most of the people in Opel had not yet reacted, but the sorceress was the fastest. She quickly confirmed whether the prince was still alive, and then joy filled her face.

"The prince is still alive!"

As she finished speaking, the soldiers quickly wrapped the prince in the clothes they had prepared for a long time and prepared to take him away. Geralt breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was finally over.

But the next group of people rushing out from another water palace entrance made Geralt understand that the trouble was not over yet.

Groups of Redanian soldiers walked out with neat steps. They were fully armed, holding swords, guns, swords and halberds. Their number was so large that they quickly filled the entire water palace.

They also surrounded Geralt and his party.

Then, a figure familiar to Geralt came out.

"Where's that slut Philippa?"

Radovid's voice echoed in the water palace, but no one answered him, which made him look very embarrassed.

Radovid was also stunned, because he found that it was not Philippa who was surrounded, but the white wolf and the Ofel people.

Then his tone immediately became angry,
"Where's Philippa? Where's the Eternal Fire Wizard? Didn't he say it's that bastard Philippa here?"

There was a riot among the Redanians, and after the riot, Radovid learned a piece of news, a piece of news that made him sweat.

The scouts were gone.

It was also at this moment that the gates to the entrances of each water palace suddenly closed, and the iron gates suddenly fell, blocking the people inside the water palace.

The soldiers reacted quickly. They immediately started smashing the iron door wildly, but found that no matter how hard they smashed, the iron door was still strong.

It was also at this moment that a roar of muskets rang out, and everyone present, whether they were Redanians or Ophelites, were caught off guard and knocked down a large area.

For a time, the water palace was full of corpses.

"Looks like we're in damn trouble again."

Facing the attack, Geralt didn't show much surprise.

After all, he had experienced a lot of things of this nature. The most Bai Lang could do was lament why he was so unlucky.

"Radovid, long time no see."

And Philippa's voice sounded, and everyone looked up and found Ms. Owl standing on a water outlet high in the water palace.

Although her eyes were covered with cloth, her contempt could be seen by everyone present.

Next to Philipba, there were many people holding muskets.

"You damn witch!"

Radovid immediately cursed angrily, and Philippa's face also showed an emotion called displeasure.

"Radovid, how many times have I taught you that as a king, the last thing you can do is to have a bad temper and let others know your thoughts. You see, it is precisely because I know what you are thinking that I can seduce you. come out."

"You mean, you did all this on purpose?"

Listening to the exchange of words between the two, Geralt almost understood what was going on.

Philippa used her connections with the suppressed pro-Redanian faction of the Eternal Fire to send the toads from the Cowburg sewers to Novigrad.

Through her relationship, Philippa learned that this toad was the prince of Ofel, and the people of Ofel would definitely search frantically for him, so she released a message.

That is that Philippa is looking for Prince Ofel, and wants to use the prince to destroy the relationship between Redania and Ofel.

Radovid had always been suspicious, and she knew she wouldn't be able to lure him out simply by releasing news about herself.

So she needs to make Radovid think that she is making some plan to destroy Redania, and then make Radovid think that she can come and catch her.

Ever since, this plan was hatched.

The execution tool Philippa used was the suppressed pro-Redanian faction.

After the pro-Redanian faction of the Eternal Fire was bloody suppressed, their power plummeted.

Although they still have power in Tritog, and the Novigrad headquarters cannot deprive them of their power, the trend is now established, and it is only a matter of time before they are cannibalized.

They are now like a group of gamblers who have lost everything. As long as they are given a chance to make a comeback, they will enter the game without hesitation.

So, with a little magic and some seduction, the pro-Redanians became Philippa's tool.

As for the temptation for the pro-Redanian faction, it is the power after getting things done.

In Philippa's view, it is very simple to seize power after killing Radovid, and then it is also very simple to give some rewards to these Eternal Fire factions.

To these people, killing the king is nothing. They are pro-Redania for the power of Redania, not for the bald man.

And it would be good for them if Radovid died.

If this powerful monarch dies, it will be a good thing for the eternal fire controlled by them. It may even be bad, and the power can be further improved.

Anyway, listening to Philipba's words, Radovid almost exploded with anger.

He didn't want to believe that he had actually fallen into Philippa's trap.

Philippa also mentioned that there was an old friend in Novigrad who also helped her a lot in this matter. Radovid was much smarter now and tried to figure out that person's name.

But now Philipba didn't say anything, which made Radovid angry.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be here, Demon Hunter. It's just a pity that you all have to die here."

Philipba naturally noticed Geralt. The appearance of this man was completely unexpected.

Philippa had an ominous premonition, as if this person was here and her plan would go into big trouble.

Ms. Owl quickly shook her head, damn, impossible, this is absolutely impossible, he is just a demon hunter, how could anything happen.

"Okay, let this ugly scene end."

Following Philipba's words, there was another roar of muskets, and several bombs were even dropped.

These people were members of the pro-Redanian faction who fled into the sewers after the bloody purge. Originally, according to the plan, these people would be gradually transferred out of Novigrad, but after Philippa appeared, these forces were Used in this assassination.

The pro-Redanian faction even sent a lot of people there just to make the assassination go smoothly.

These people didn't care much about Philippa's behavior that she just exposed to them. They invested so much manpower this time just to risk their lives. If they failed, they would die.

They are a group of stud gamblers, betting that they can successfully kill Radovid and soar into the sky.

In the Water Palace, the fire suppression was not over yet. Soon, the iron doors of several entrances rose, and then a large number of thugs and killers rushed in.

Philippa got these people from the few of her people who had not been purged by Radovid. Of course, a certain fat man in the city also provided some, but the fat man was very cautious and only Hire a bunch of non-staff people who don't know what's going on.

Then several earth elements, fire elements and golems walked in, which showed that Philipba was spending a lot of money and must kill Radovid.

The water palace immediately turned into a melee battlefield. Those who were defending the king and those who wanted to kill the king fought together, and the shouts of killing became louder and louder than the waves.

Radovid's force was unexpectedly strong. Under the protection of the guards, the king fought very bravely, constantly hacking thugs and killers to death.

But facing those elements and golems, the Redanians were very powerless and could only protect the king and retreat step by step.

Magic has been falling from the sky, and Philippa is under indiscriminate bombing. She wants to kill that bastard Radovid.

As for Geralt, the situation was not good either. Geralt found that the trouble was too great.

Even if there are thugs and killers rushing over without mercy, why are there still elements and golems?

After several rounds of killing among the crowd, it can only be said that if it were not for the master armor on his body, he would have been dead long ago.

But these sacrifices were worth it. Geralt killed several elements and golems in succession, greatly reducing the pressure on the battlefield.

This naturally made Philipba frown wildly, and she felt unlucky to meet this demon hunter again.

At the same time, she was comforting herself in her heart. Just a few moments later, this demon hunter would be consumed to death.

The situation of the Ofier people is also very bad. Most of the Ofier soldiers are dead, and now only a few people are protecting the prince.

In order to protect the prince, Laetia almost used up her magic power and was unable to form a fighting force.

"If you continue like this, you will really die."

The demon hunter couldn't help but wonder why he encountered such a dangerous situation again.

Radovid actually brought a lot of soldiers, but they are all locked up on the other side now. They are knocking on the iron door anxiously, trying to get in and rescue their king, but to no avail.

Baldhead's current situation is also very bad. He is under siege by many people.

There are a few more elements over there too, and it looks like it's only a matter of time before they're killed.

But it was also at this moment that a change occurred.

I saw a bunch of soldiers rushing out of the several open entrances. These soldiers had huge eternal fire symbols on their bodies.

This represents their identity as the selected battalion of the Eternal Fire, and they join the battle in a steady stream.

"Rescue His Majesty Radovid!"

They shouted such slogans and attacked the enemy.

The arrival of the selected battalion immediately changed the situation of the war. The arrival of these Eternal Fire warriors immediately reversed the situation of the war.

Even in the face of elements and golems, they are not afraid at all. They are fanatic believers in the eternal fire, and these are nothing in front of them.

Thanks to the efforts of the Eternal Flame, both Radovid and Geralt were rescued, but the assassins retreated.

Now it was Philippa's turn to contort her face. She had not counted on the Eternal Fire people. Why did these people suddenly appear?
It's not that she didn't take this into consideration, but she shouldn't have. She had made arrangements in these aspects.

Unless... no, not possible.

Her magic has basically been used up, and she can't change the situation at all now. There's nothing she can do now.

However, Philipba was not troubled by these emotions for too long, she turned around and left.

Since nothing can be done, just run away and leave here as soon as possible before talking about anything else.

As for the musketeers, they were stunned when they saw Philippa doing this.

But they dispersed immediately, moving very quickly.

Everyone could see that the plan failed.

While Philippa was fleeing, she bumped into someone, and that person was none other than Dijkstra.

Dijkstra was surrounded by his minions, who blocked Philippa's escape.

"Dijkstra, get out of the way. The thing has failed. We must leave here immediately. Also, what's going on with those Eternal Fire people coming out from over there? We've obviously blocked the road!"

"Oh, really? Faye."

Dijkstra's tone frightened Philipba.

At the next moment, Dijkstra's minions swarmed up and held down Philippa, who had lost her magic power.

Next, the woman was put on his nightmare, the magic-blocking golden shackles.

"Are you crazy? Dijkstra! You actually... actually put this thing on me!"

Philippa was naturally extremely angry, but noticing the low pressure on Dijkstra's body, she became quiet.

"Fei, we still have a lot of accounts to settle. There are many things that I must understand."

Dijkstra's voice had never frightened Philippa like it did now.

"Take her away, then clean up everything, and get busy."
