Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 220 The Coup of the Outcasts
Hope reappeared in Natalis's heart because of Herme's appearance, but on Herme's side, looking at his subordinates, he could only try to maintain his expression.

Naturally, there is no need to say anything more about my two thousand elites. They have been following me for a long time, and there is no problem in terms of reliability or combat effectiveness.

But those newcomers are just...

The new team brought by Hemei was basically recruited after participating in the northern civil war, and was originally going to be assigned to various units as supplementary soldiers.

However, due to the huge change in form, they were not able to enter the various units, but appeared on the battlefield in the form of reserves.

Now these newcomers are looking ahead with fear on their faces. Many of them are going into battle for the first time, and they are frightened when they see the battlefield.

"Oh, damn it."

When Hemei saw this scene, she cursed in a low voice, and then rode her horse to come to these soldiers who were still well-armored, but especially had no fighting spirit.

"Take courage, take courage. The gods are watching over us, and the side that truly represents the north. Show no mercy to your enemies, for they will never show mercy to you. And I, Lord Protector of Aedirn, will lead If you fight, I will stand in front of everyone!"

The Lord Protector's voice echoed powerfully in the soldiers' ears.

Hearing this voice and seeing the not-so-handsome, but extremely famous face of the Protector, the nervousness of the panicked newcomers eased a lot.

This is the benefit of a good reputation. Hemei's achievements are enough to make even the soldiers who have the least confidence in themselves feel at ease.

The morale of some people even improved a lot, and they all began to hope that they could make military exploits under the leadership of the Lord Protector and become the masters of the Kingdom of Aedirn.

And this relies on the Protector's series of military exploits and achievements. This is the current magic power of the Protector.

Seeing that the mood of the newcomers had eased a lot, the Protector also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned to the battle formation ahead.

The battlefield ahead can be roughly divided into two parts. One part is where the Skellige people are blocking the Redanian army from crossing the river at the ferry. They are now being attacked from both sides, and a group of Redanian red-coated shooters are shooting at them.

The other team was the besieged Natalia. Like Natalia, Herme also saw the Redanian ship putting down the knights.

If these knights are in place, the destruction of the Temerians will be just a matter of time.

"It's really troublesome."

The Protector couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, and then he looked at Marondo.

"You lead the cavalry to drive away the shooters who are besieging the Skellige people, and then block the heavy cavalry who are disembarking from the ship and prevent them from moving."

"Sir, if I go, what should you do here?"

As the captain of Hemei's guard, his first priority is naturally Hemei's safety. If they all go into battle, what about the security of Lord Protector?
"Don't worry about me, just do what you should do."

Hemei glanced at the front line. If possible, he wouldn't want to do this, but now he must risk his life.

Speaking of which, he hasn't risked his life like this for a while. Looking back now, it's really emotional.

"Don't hesitate, start taking action."

Seeing that Malondo was still hesitant, the Protector urged him like this. After hearing what the Protector said, Malondo stopped dawdling. He led a thousand cavalry and rushed towards Skellige's place.

Herme himself led his infantry to Natalis to rescue Natalis who was in danger.

The Aedian infantry maintained an orderly line and pressed toward the front line.

Hemei did not let them run because he knew very well that if you let infantry of such quality run, it would reduce the combat effectiveness.

Now that the Temerians have had their morale boosted by his personal arrival, there is no need to rush to the front line for rescue.

When the front line finally passed, in order to set an example for everyone, Hemei was the first to join the battle and rushed into the enemy's formation. The Protector's behavior naturally boosted everyone's morale.

Although Hemei has not fought in the formation for some time, this does not mean that his skills have deteriorated.

In fact, Hemei has never relaxed in honing his skills.

In this world of monsters and monsters, there are always times when you have to take action yourself.

With his entry into the battle, the morale of the Temerians and Aedirians was boosted, and they fought more bravely.

.

"Is this the Lord Protector of Aedirn? This is the first time I've seen him. It's better to see him than to hear him a hundred times."

On Redania's ship, Marshal Blunkett murmured subconsciously.

Then, an emotion called urgency flashed through his heart. He must now deploy his army as soon as possible. If those Aedian ships come...

He was not sure how long the ships sent out could hold off the Aedirnians, so he had to put the troops in the ships on the shore as soon as possible, and also defeat the federal army in front of him as soon as possible so that he could penetrate the enemy's rear.

But now, no matter which one of these tasks it is, it has still not been completed.

Blunkett was very anxious now, because behind him, there was an Aedian fleet chasing him.

On the way to the Ismina River through the Pontar River, they were unfortunately discovered by the Pontar fleet of Aedirn, and then bitten by this fleet.

Now the Redanians are able to land here because he abandoned part of his ships to delay the northerners.

The size of the Aedian fleet was not large. After all, the main force of the Aedian people was in the Aruga River in the south.

But the problem is that these Aedian ships are all equipped with artillery.

If those Aedian fleets arrive... they can destroy the Redanian fleet just by firing cannons at it.

Now Redania's ships are basically huddled together, and even if you hit them with your eyes closed, you can hit them no matter what.

Under the artillery, their chaos will definitely increase. If there are some ship collisions and fires, the fleet will be finished.

The more he thought about this, the more anxious Brunkt became. If the task could not be completed... Radovid was never tolerant of losers.

Even with his status, that Radovid wouldn't care.

And Youdao is afraid of whatever will come. When Blunkert was looking forward to the battle on the ground starting as soon as possible, he heard the rumble of artillery coming from the direction they came from.

This made Blunkett's heart feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Then, Blunkert thought about an old friend who visited him, and it seemed that he did exactly what the old friend suggested.

"Washing on the beach, let our boat face the beach towards our camp, and let's escape to the camp first."

Then, Marshal Blunkett issued such an order.

.

"No, it can't be like this! It can't be like this!"

Radovid said in disbelief after receiving the message from the Redanian fleet.

When he first learned that he had obtained the information, he thought it was good news, and he would see Redania's red eagle rising behind the Protectorate's army.

As a result, what he received was news of failure.

Therefore, King Redania began to roar, and his terrifying look naturally made his courtiers and subordinates shut their mouths, and they did not dare to say a word.

However, this time Radovid's seizure did not last long. After being annoyed for a while, Radovid suddenly stopped talking. He looked at the battle situation on the front line, and then sighed silently.

Then, with the struggle all over his face, Radovid made a decision that he was unwilling to make anyway.

"Retreat, we have already failed this battle."

.

After the king retreated for a while, the retreat horn finally sounded, and the entire Redanian army immediately showed a scene of defeat.

Redanian soldiers on all fronts were running away desperately after hearing the clarion call to retreat.

The federal army also took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing and caused as much damage to the Redanians as possible.

Many Redanian soldiers simply surrendered on the spot. They were all northerners and didn't have much hatred for each other, so they surrendered.

Many Redanians surrendered at once, and the Federation also accepted them. After all, as the saying goes, there was no hatred between them.Herme had no intention of shouting and killing these Radovid soldiers. In his opinion, all the northern civil wars were damaging his future strength.

At the same time, Radovid, the fastest runner, has now crossed the Ismina River and returned to the side of the river controlled by Redania.

Radovid returned to his camp with the remaining defeated soldiers.

Here, he could see the sunken, burning, or captured Redanian ships on the Ismina River.

Many Redanian ships chose to wash up on the beach to escape, so there were many ships lying there like giants of death on the river beach.

Seeing this, Radovid felt as if his face had been slapped hard by Hermey.

In sharp contrast, Aedirn's ships were sailing majestically on the river, which made Radovid feel like he had been slapped in the face.

Next, one after another Redanian soldiers escaped across the Ismina River and returned to the camp.

However, many people simply fled to their hometowns. Every time they were defeated, there would be many such soldiers who had lost hope in the war.

They abandoned their armor and were depressed. These warriors who had escaped with their lives were now in an extremely low state.

The federal army did not pursue them across the Ismina River, which allowed Radovid to breathe a sigh of relief. If they continued to pursue them, he would have no choice but to flee in embarrassment.

Radovid planned to rest a little on this side of the river, collect some defeated troops, and then leave here and go to Vizima to make further plans.

Before leaving, though, Radovid had a few things to do.

For some problems, someone needs to take responsibility, and someone needs to bear his anger.

.

"Off their heads! I'm going to chop off their heads!"

Inside the tent, Radovid was roaring in great annoyance, and the reason for his roar was because of a piece of news he knew.

That is, a large number of Redanians chose to surrender on the spot, which was unacceptable to Radovid. In Radovid's view, this was like slapping himself in the face.

As the true king of Redania, Radovid believes that every Redanian should be loyal to him and abide by their duties, instead of just surrendering to others.

As always, no one dared to speak in the face of Radovid's wrath.

However, the atmosphere this time was a little different from the past.

Usually when Radovid was angry, his momentum overwhelmed everyone. No one dared to speak, let alone make any small moves.

But now, the Redanian generals and officers present were actively exchanging glances, and some people's eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Radovid - of course, they hid it well.

Most people's thinking is very simple, damn it, you lost the battle and don't want to think about whether there is something wrong with you, but you are here screaming at us.

He also scolded the soldiers for surrendering. If they hadn't been defeated, the soldiers would have surrendered?They also shouted that they wanted to liquidate their families. If this continues, no one will dare to fight for the King of Redania.

And there are some people whose thoughts are very unspeakable.

"Where's Blunkett? Where is he? Didn't I ask him to come here?"

After Radovid cursed the surrenderers for a while, he called out Marshal Blunkert again.

After all, Blunkett's responsibility this time is very big.

Radovid planned to push him out and chop him after scolding him.

But now Blunkett's delay in showing up makes Radovid even more angry.

If it was normal, Radovid would have felt something was wrong by now.

A marshal who was about to be executed had not come for a long time, so he still sent his cronies to catch him, but he still hadn't come yet.

He should have felt something was wrong before his cronies returned.

But Radovid was too busy angrily scolding the surrendering Redanian soldiers that madness dominated his brain, causing him to have no time to think about these things.

Now, because he lost to Herme, Radovid was in an extremely serious state of irritation, so he didn't even think about the possible twists and turns, and his extremely keen sense of smell was now out of order.

Then, Radovid heard a sudden noise coming from outside, and after the noise, there was a lot of fighting.

During the fighting, many soldiers surrounded the big tent, and then Marshal Brunkett walked in amidst the sound of fighting.

Everyone in the tent was surprised by what happened now.

What is happening now is obvious.

However, no one was surprised. Marshal Brunkett's fight was surprising to many people present, but it was still expected.

Except for the king's die-hard loyalists, no one here planned to resist, let alone the old superiors of everyone present who were doing that kind of thing now.

A few Redanian knights protected the king behind them, but they seemed so weak facing the soldiers who poured in.

Today's king...the military has only silence towards him, so they collectively choose to acquiesce to everything that is happening in front of them.

But a tall, fat man who walked in from behind surprised everyone even more.

That was Dirkscher Sigismund, the leader of Redanian secret agents who had been eliminated.

Many people here think that they will never see this fat man, so now that this fat man appears in front of them, nothing surprises them more.

"Everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm glad to see you. Oh, and you, Your Majesty Radovid, I must admit that your ability is beyond my imagination, but your madness is beyond my imagination. Imagine.”

Dijkstra's current posture is exactly the same as that of the spy leader who controls all situations, as if he is still the regent of Redania.

"Redania must be controlled by normal people, so, Your Majesty Radovid, your rule is over."

Next, behind Dijkstra, a group of Redanian Musketeers came out.

They opened fire decisively on Radovid and his loyal knights.

Neither Dijkstra nor Marshal Blunkert were going to give Radovid a chance to speak. Killing him quickly was the most important thing now.

After a burst of gunpowder, Radovid was directly beaten into a sieve by the musket, and the same was true for his loyal knights.

"Hurry up and take control of the troops loyal to Radovid. As for everyone present, His Majesty Radovid was injured on the battlefield and is now dead from his injuries. Do you have any questions?"

Marshal Blunkert said to the staff behind him that Radovid was dead, but the forces still loyal to him must be dealt with.

As for his definition of the nature of the matter, no one doubted it. No one here was willing to cry out for the injustice of the crazy and murderous king.

Dijkstra limped to the side of Radovid's body, sat down next to his body, and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Vizmir, I have to do this."

Dijkstra murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

The other Redanian generals and officers present wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, but they were all stopped by the marshal's soldiers.

Now we cannot let these people leave here and go to their troops. This will increase the instability.

There are a lot of people dying this night.

Then, conflicts broke out in many places in the military camp, and many Redanian troops fought among themselves. Some Radovid loyalists were still unwilling to admit the facts.

The Redanians never expected that they had escaped the sword of the Federation, but were attacked by friendly forces here.

These movements made the federal troops on the other side of the river extremely worried. They thought it was the Redanians who were planning a sneak attack, so they stepped up their alert.

I just waited all night, but found that nothing came, and there was no so-called attack.

After a chaotic night, the Redanian military camp sent a messenger to convey the message to the other side of the river.
