Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 214 The Protector’s Cannon
The moment the black ship came out of the portal, huge amounts of frost energy swept across the entire battlefield in an instant.

Wherever the frost energy passed, the sea surface turned into ice in an instant. Whether it was Nilfgaard or Skellige, their ships were forced to stop.

Both sides fell into panic. Such large-scale ice on the sea really tested their common sense, not to mention the appearance of such a huge ship.

This panic quickly turned into fear, because then a large number of demon knights poured out of the black ship, and the wild hunting hounds continued to pour out like wild beasts out of the cage.

Regardless of whether they were Nilfgaardians or Skelliges, the demon knights attacked indiscriminately.

Suddenly, the battlefield became extremely chaotic.

The Skellige people's fear far exceeds that of the men in black, because they know the black ship and what it represents.

To the people of the Islands, this ship is Najirfa.

The Najirfa is a demon ship, a longship said to be made from dead men's fingernails and crewed by evil spirits.

This ship set out from the Land of Chaos, bringing an entire undead army to the land of the living world, and engaged in the final battle between good and evil known as the Last Battle.

To this day, people on the Skellige Islands still peel off the nails of their dead when they are buried, to prevent them from becoming raw materials for the devil's ship.

Therefore, the impact of the black ships on the Skellige people can be imagined.

Now, in their view, this is the moment of the final battle. The army of the dead is aggressively attacking the world of the living, and the moment to determine the fate of the world has arrived.

However, fear is fear, but the Skellige will never be timid.

They shouted the name of Hamdol and bravely fought with the demon knights.

On the Nilfgaardian side, although they were also very confused about the sudden appearance of the elf knight, even Emhyr did not expect that the appearance of the Wild Hunt in Geralt's mouth was such an exaggerated sight, but the black-clothed The man still launched an attack on the Demon Knight without hesitation.

The Nilfgaardians knew that at this time, no matter who the enemy was, they would fight to the end, and retreating would only mean defeat.

The men in black formed their best battle formation on the ice and faced off against the demon knight in vain.

As a result, the frozen ice surface became a battlefield for both sides to fight.

The blood of Skelliges, Nilfgaardians, and the Wild Hunt who came to this world in their true form was constantly spilled on the ice.

Because the Wild Hunt used magic to raise ice walls from time to time, the battlefield was divided into sections.

This is the strategy of the Wild Hunt, which is to prevent humans from gathering together, reduce their numerical advantage as much as possible, and then separate and annihilate them one by one.

Under the maze of ice walls deliberately created by the Wild Hunt, the battlefield pattern becomes very confusing.

When the Aedian fleet arrived at the battlefield, they saw such a chaotic scene.

Everyone in the Aedian fleet was dumbfounded. They had many ideas about the battlefield they were going to, but they never imagined that it would be like this.

"I'm going, what's the matter?"

Valentine, who had always been calm, rarely let out an exclamation.

This attendant has seen a lot of things, but this scene is really...

"It's the Wild Hunt. It seems we're a step too late."

Hemei looked at the scene on the battlefield and said seriously, but she didn't expect that it was better to be too late.

Of course the Lord Protector knew about the Wild Hunt, but he didn't expect that he would still be late.

But now it seems that it's good to be late. I didn't see so many ships trapped in the ice. Now they can at least move freely.

"Lord Protector, what should we do?"

Someone asked this. The scene in front of them was really beyond everyone's expectations, so they had to subconsciously ask the Lord Protector.

"What to do, then attack. Don't forget that we are here for war."

Herme said without hesitation that in a sense, this fleet was built for this battle.

Now that the Wild Hunt is here, it's time to let them play their due role.

"Then...we attack the Nilfgaardians?"

The voice continued to ask, with a tone full of uncertainty and doubt. Faced with such a magical scene in front of them, many people were like this voice and really couldn't figure out what they were going to do.

"Don't worry about the men in black. Our target now is the Wild Hunt, those demon knights. The men in black can deal with them later. However, it is too dangerous for the ships to drive in directly. The gunboats will bombard them. A black ship, loaded with silver bullets and magic-blocking gold ammunition, the others will land on the Skellige side for me, let’s help our friends on the islands first, that’s it, let’s start taking action!”

Following the Lord Protector's order, everyone began to take action.

We are all well-trained and experienced warriors. Now we just see things we have never seen before and can't find the backbone. As soon as the order comes, everyone knows how to move.

Soon, the roar of artillery started, and even the black ship of Wild Hunt trembled in the cannon.

.

While the entire battlefield was boiling with excitement, the black ship of Wild Hunt was also very busy.

Eredin's deputies and subordinates continuously received battle reports from the front line, and then sent them to Eredin for the commander of the Red Cavalry to make a decision.

The sailors busy on the deck are not the Wild Hunt, but a group of semi-spirits.

These are the slave souls bound to the black ship by the Wild Hunt. They can only work miserably on the black ship forever and become part of this huge war machine.

All personal information about themselves has been washed away from the minds of these unlucky souls. All that is left is work, and constant work. They are the best sailors on the black ship.

And their soul power is also the power source of the black ship. The black ship will drain them bit by bit, but it will not kill them, but they will hang them alive.

After all, we need sustainable development.

For them, only death is relief

Of course, when Black Ship needs to go all out, it is natural to use these souls without any scruples. Anyway, it can be supplemented afterwards.

"Lord Eredin, the attack in the direction of the men in black has been severely hindered. Human reinforcements on land are constantly joining the battle through the ice."

"Then we will also invest more troops, let the other side speed up the deployment of troops, and let the sages join in."

Eredin said without hesitation that the force he brought this time was quite exaggerated, and he was completely confident that he would take his time with humans.

"I'm sorry, Lord Eredin, but the sages have refused your order."

"You stupid nerd, I'm playing with these things at this time..."

Just when Eredin was angry, the black ship suddenly trembled several times.

This is the impact of human artillery hitting the black ship.

"Three areas of the lower deck are damaged! The portal is reset!"

"Mend it quickly! You slaves!"

The artillery damaged a small part of the black ship's hull, but it was only damage.

But this also means that humans can cause damage to the black ship, which can be fatal.

"Trouble, I didn't expect humans to have reinforcements."

Eredin complained that it was the Aedirn fleet he was talking about, and the appearance of the Aedirnians was something they had not expected at all.

Now the Aedirn fleet is constantly bombarding the black ship in a safe place, which undoubtedly creates a lot of trouble for the Wild Hunt.

The Black Ship's ability to continuously pour out Wild Hunt relies on its built-in portal.

Humanity's magic-blocking gold cannonballs can easily affect the portal. For example, just now, it caused the portal to be reset.

Once the portal is reset, it will take a lot of time to open it again. Without the help of the sage now, it will definitely take more time.

Although the Wild Hunt has more than one portal, this will undoubtedly cause their speed of transporting troops to slow down significantly.

As for the elven warriors who were hit by cannonballs, there were even more elves. After all, as long as the Wild Hunters came out of the black ship, humans would just keep bombarding them.

"Lord Eredin, do we need to deal with those humans?"

"No, no need. Those people are just a small problem. The most important thing now is to deal with the humans who are directly at war with us."

Although Eredin is angry, it does not mean that he has no brains. He can still clearly distinguish what is important now.

But at the next moment, a round of cannonballs hit the deck of the black ship. Wherever the cannonball passed, the spirit slaves were turned into ashes.

Before disappearing, these spirits had expressions of relief on their faces.

For them, death is the greatest mercy.

Seeing this, Eredin's expression changed rapidly and became very ugly, but he still controlled his emotions.

However, in a blink of an eye, Eredin saw something in the sky that made him suffocate even more.

A magnificent rooster crowing in the sky.

.

The Last War, also known as the "Battle of La Na Jung", is a final battle between the forces of good and evil according to Skellige mythology. The end of the world is known as "Tedd" in the ancient tongue. Deireádh”.

An army of ghosts will ride on the demon ship "Najirfa" and come to the world from Mohaug, the land of chaos, to participate in this war.

The Skellige believe that Kambi will awaken the legendary hero Hamdol before battle.

And he will blow his trumpet, signaling the beginning of the battle that will determine the fate of the world.

As for Hamdol, according to the legend of Skellig, the bloodlines of various families on the islands can actually be traced all the way back to him.

He is truly the founder of the Islands, and is revered by all the Islanders.

It is said that one summer solstice, Hamdall left the hunting lodge and came to the seaside, where he saw the goddess Helene, and then the two fell in love.They then came to Skellige, where they remained intimate all summer, but when autumn came, Helene had to leave.

After that, Hamdol and Hailin gave birth to six sons, and these six sons gave birth to the six major families in the archipelago.

Regarding the myth of Skellige, mainland scholars have a unified view, that is, it is just a means for the islanders' rulers to deify their ancestors.

They do not view the Skellige's mythical ancestors as powerful beings.

And Hamdol has indeed never shown any strength. The ancestor of the archipelago has always kept a very low profile.

But this does not mean that the ancestor of the Skellige people does not exist.

After the golden rooster crows, the rainbow bridge appears in the sky. Everyone can see that a man wearing golden armor and a deer helmet appears on the rainbow bridge.

He raised the golden horn in his hand, and then the melodious and majestic horn sounded throughout the chaotic battlefield.

Every Skellige man who heard the trumpet and saw Hamdol fell into a frenzy.

They felt that the fatigue on their bodies disappeared immediately, and they felt that they were infinitely powerful, as if they were invincible from this moment on. Their bodies also subconsciously mastered many war skills that were not theirs before.

There is no doubt that this is the power of Hamdol, and it also makes the Skellige even more crazy.

As a result, the Wild Hunters were at a disadvantage in the battle.

The Skellige fought against the Wild Hunt one after another without fear of life and death, and then fought with the Wild Hunt in a completely lifeless manner.

"Halma! Halma!"

Caris came to her brother with a group of shield girls.

Hjalmar knelt down and rested with his sword in his hand. There was at least a wild hunt around him, but there were also many Skellige dead.

Because it rushed too far ahead, Halma's longship was directly overturned in the frost waves of the Wild Hunt.

However, nothing happened to the people above. At most, the children were knocked unconscious, and then they started fighting with the Wild Hunt.

But the result is naturally the victory of the Skellige people. With Halma here, these wild hunts are not enough.

"I killed eight Wild Hunts, eight! Caris. Also, did you see it? Did you see Hamdol in the sky? The ancestors are calling us to join the final battle!"

"My father organized many people to attack Najirfa, but that black ship is too powerful. Most people died on the road. We must..."

"I will also join the attack on Najirfa!"

Halma yelled, interrupting the sisters, and then coughed a few times. The consumption just now was really quite big.

"I also want to prove my glory in front of Hamdol! I also want to attack Najirfa!"

Looking at the yelling reckless brothers, Caris subconsciously raised her forehead.

Hamdol, why can't you add more wisdom to Halma's muscular brain? She doesn't want to see her brother go crazy at this time.

However, just when Halma was about to organize the remaining subordinates to join the conflict against Najfar, a team came beside them.

This made them subconsciously vigilant. In this chaotic battlefield, the forces of the men in black, the Islands and the Wild Hunt were intertwined. It could be said that any team that was not one's own might be the enemy.

However, as they solved the problem, the two children of the Kuite family also relaxed their vigilance, and they also saw the symbols of the Tursek family and Aden above their heads.

"Where's Kratz?"

Svanrej asked them. Just now, Svanrej reorganized the Skelliges behind them and then brought them all to the battlefield.

"Father has already gone to attack Najirfa. Your Majesty the King, we cannot attack that black ship. Too many people died on the way to attack that ship."

Caris said immediately, fearing that her reckless brother would go crazy here and bring the king in.

After all, what Halma said was exactly what he wanted to do. This person never joked.

At this time, on the side of Najirfa, the Skellige were continuously besieging the black ship. They had already broken through the Wild Hunt defense line facing them.

In front of the people of the Islands who had the blessings of their ancestors, the bodies of the Wild Hunt fell to the ground, and the morale of the Skellige people became stronger and stronger.

But Najirfa is not that easy to attack. As Ain El's decisive weapon in conquering many worlds, the black ship itself also has extremely powerful firepower.

The ballistas above have been firing ammunition continuously, and the wild hunting archers have been shooting.

It is difficult for the Islanders to get close to this black ship. The crossbows and bows of Wild Hunt are not ordinary things. Not to mention the high frequency of firing, they are also extremely powerful.

However, these things are actually not available in the original black ship. The original black ship was enough to crush the enemy based on its size.

Just considering that humans in the demon hunter world generally have artillery, Ain El decided to strengthen the firepower of the black ship.

Now, the closest the Skellige pushed to the black ship was Kratz's sea boar.

Kratz wanted to rush to Najirfa at once, but he was attacked by a black ship. The mast was smashed, so he had to get off the ship with his men and hide behind the ship.

The current role of the sea wild boar is purely a human shield.

From time to time they used the broadside guns removed from the ship to fight back, but the casualties were very limited, and they were suppressed by the enemy the next moment.

Most of the Skellige who attacked Najirfa were most successful only by coming under the cover of sea boars. Those who took other paths were killed.

"I know, so I brought someone who can solve the problem. Sir Heme, please trouble you."

Only then did the Kuite brothers and sisters notice the Lord Protector of Aedirn. Herme was dressed very simply this time. He just wore a chainmail and an ordinary iron helmet.

The Protector waved his hand, and then the people of the archipelago saw a group of Weilang people walking out pushing artillery.

The Virans quickly placed the artillery at the predetermined position, and then the human artillery came to take over the artillery, and two warlocks were calibrating the artillery there.

Soon after, the artillery began roaring.

Looking at this scene, the Protector's face showed an expression of satisfaction. There was nothing more satisfying than seeing this scene.

.

"Damn, this is too outrageous."

Hiding behind the broken ship, feeling the exciting feeling of arrows and crossbows flying overhead, Geralt complained.

Their plan was to attack the black ship and kill that Eredin guy, instead of being suppressed to death by the black ship's firepower here.

The other demon hunters were also hiding behind the ship in embarrassment. They originally thought it was a hearty assault, but in the end they were suppressed here and unable to move.

Everyone was unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.

"Geralt, do you want me to..."

Ciri expressed her thoughts. She wanted to attack the black ship directly and mow down the shooters on it.

This is not a problem for her.

"No, no, it's too dangerous."

Geralt refused without thinking, which was no different from sending death.

Ciri didn't say anything, because she knew Geralt was right, but she was visibly unhappy.

While White Wolf was thinking anxiously about how to attack the black ship, he heard a roar.

At first he didn't take it seriously. After all, the Aden gunboats had been bombarding the black ships.

But then he realized something was wrong, because the noise was louder than usual, and the density of arrows above his head was also instantly reduced.

Geralt raised his head cautiously and found that part of the deck of the black ship was in a mess. Some of the ballista shooting windows had been shot in by cannonballs, and black smoke was rising from inside.

When Geralt saw it, another round of cannonballs hit it, and the black ship's firepower immediately followed.

Then, Geralt saw the Skellige attack again, and the Wild Hunts did indeed shoot arrows immediately, but the density was obviously much sparser.

Geralt did not hesitate and immediately rushed out of the bunker. The opportunity to kill was now, and he would not miss it!

After the black ship's firepower was constantly hit by the artillery calibrated by the warlock, the humans were finally able to kill the giant ship.

Immediately, the entire ship turned into a bloody battlefield.

The Wild Hunt tried their best to stop the humans, but their efforts seemed so pale in front of the successive humans. The humans quickly broke through their defenses and stepped onto the black ship.

As for the battle on the deck, humans quickly started to fight. Because of the presence of the demon hunters, the Wild Hunts on the deck were being killed like fallen leaves by the autumn wind.

The witcher also blew up several portals on the deck, immediately affecting the rate at which the Wild Hunt could deploy troops.

Not long after, they arrived in front of Eredin.

Looking at the white wolf in front of him and the group of demon hunters behind him, Eredin looked bitter.

The situation changed too fast. Suddenly the firepower of the black ship was suppressed by humans, and then humans rushed onto the black ship. Then a large group of demon hunters started killing on the deck, and his subordinates were killed at extremely fast speeds. Clear.

And now, from the looks of it, they are planning to fight in a group...

However, Eredin is not afraid. As the King of the Wild Hunt, he has his own pride.

With this thought, Eredin put on his mask, then drew his sword and pointed it at the witchers.

The demon hunters pulled out the spring guns at their waists and fired one round at Eredin first.

Eredin, who had overturned his car before facing this thing, naturally would not overturn his car again, so he rolled and dodged the shot.

But other spring gun shots followed one after another, causing Eredin to jump around like a monkey. When it was impossible, he could only carry it with his armor - Eredin is not a spirit now, so naturally he can't The magic gold will break as soon as it touches it.

Finally, the witchers finished shooting, and then Eredin had to start fighting against the heroes.
