Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 225 Nest-breaking Wild Hunting
Snowflakes falling on dreamy hills
Floating over the sparkling waters of Tirnaria
Soft, silent and slow

Into nothingness.

The sage's lips were blackened and his bones trembled with frost.

Before blinking his frozen eyes
I see you coming from the distant sky.

Tirnaria is the capital of the kingdom of Ain El. Except for the captives captured by the Wild Hunt, few people can see this city.

In the words of those rare returnees, there are spiers as tall as trees, houses built of white marble and a sky with two suns.

Just the sight of this beautiful city inspires admiration, but it also fills the heart with longing and unspeakable sadness.

But for the indigenous people who have been enslaved for generations and the slaves looted from various worlds, this is a city of flesh and blood that embodies the bones and blood of the oppressed.

Unlike the gentle mountain people (Ain Sheedi), the alder people (Ain El) have always been martial and aggressive, and are warlike conquerors.

Just like how humans massacred Ain Sheedi, they massacred the indigenous people of the world they visited, and then built elven cities on the bones of the dead.

But no matter how good at fighting, it is still difficult to escape Bai Shuang's pursuit.

However, after the white frost was reversed, some changes also occurred in the Elf Kingdom.

Without the approaching hoarfrost, the climate in their world has become milder and milder, and the ice and snow in the city that was once swallowed up by the hoarfrost is slowly receding.

As the sages announced that the hoarfrost problem that had troubled them for countless years was finally solved today, Ain El society entered a crazy carnival.

After every Ayn El is born, the threat of hoarfrost is like a lingering haze in the sky, plaguing every Elf's mind.

But now, this dark cloud has finally dissipated, and every Ain El feels that the big stone in his heart has finally fallen to the ground.

But for slaves of all races, the cornerstone of elf society, life is still so bad.

They still have to work hard to dig out food from potatoes to feed the elves who are above them.

Even if the hoar frost recedes, the impact on them will be nothing more than being able to eat a few more mouthfuls of food.

Ayn El has been involved in many worlds, so the slaves who were plundered are also of many races, including humans, dwarves, halflings... and elves, and even their fellow race who parted ways with them, Ayn Sheidi.

After all, the society of the Alderwood People is extremely cruel.

Even as Ain El, one might end up becoming a slave.

Among the many slaves, the largest number is humans. After all, no matter what world it is, humans always have the largest number.

Slaves from many worlds also brought technologies from many worlds, and Ain El brought them all together in Tirnaria, creating the city's supreme glory.

At the same time, under this glory, there are countless corpses.

It is not that the slaves have never rioted, but Ain El has never relaxed its arms. The elves are well aware of the threat from the slaves.

After all, the number of slaves was so huge.

Even though the elves are increasingly corrupted by their superior living environment, they still retain a powerful military force-the Red Cavalry and the Black Ship.

However, the Red Cavalry has suffered heavy losses in recent operations.

Even Eredin, the capital of the Red Cavalry, who once held the power of Ain El, was killed on the spot, and the black ship was directly lost.

Now, the sages and civil servants are in control of the situation in Tilnaria, and they are not in a hurry to restore the strength of the Red Riders.

Ain El society is a typical society with three powers coexisting, namely the army (red cavalry), civil servants and sages.

After Eredin, who represented the army, once took over the power, the other two parties were not so happy to restore the strength of the army.

After seeing the power that the soldiers might unleash, they said that things had to be delayed. Although they also had some force, it was still insufficient compared to the Red Cavalry.

It can be said that this is an unprecedented weak stage for elf society.

.

In a farm on the outskirts of Tiernaria, Brad Chester, dressed as a farmer, looked at the slightly sprouting seedlings in front of him, and the breath that had been hanging in his mouth finally came out.

"It's done, this guy survived."

His words made everyone around him cheer. The seedlings finally grew up, and they no longer had to worry about being killed by their masters to fertilize their fields.

In Tilnaria, there are always some elven nobles who want to eat crops from their hometown on a whim, so they give slaves seeds and farm tools to cultivate.

Unfortunately, without their original environment, coupled with the drop in temperature caused by hoarfrost, these crops cannot grow at all most of the time. Even if they do grow, the fruits will shrink.

As punishment for slaves, the nobles of Ayn El would always kill them and then hand over the seeds and crops to the next group of slaves.

Anyway, they have plenty of time. If they keep planting like this, one day the crops in their hometown will grow.

"Everyone continues to work and try to keep the seedlings alive, so that we can survive for a few more days."

After hearing Brad's words, everyone also started working and continued to tend these precious seedlings in the fields.

Brad picked up the hoe stuck on the side, glanced at the two suns in the sky, and couldn't help but think of how he had fallen to this point.

As a member of the Temerian Artillery, Brad had a bright future.

Hold a lucrative job, enjoy superior treatment, and let your descendants take over in the future.

But the outbreak of the Third Northern War ruined all this.

Their unit was defeated by the men in black, and when the artillery crew fled with the artillery, they encountered the Wild Hunt and became prisoners of the Wild Hunt, and then learned that they were actually a group of elves.

In Tirnaria, the elves forced them to demonstrate the artillery, and then the elves had a very heated discussion about the artillery.

It turns out that the elf is not very interested in artillery - he was thrown here to farm.

Next, is his life as a slave.

In the past few years, Brad has cleaned the sewers in Tilnaria, carried bags at the Elf Dock, and farmed in the slave farm.

Since he was once the gunner of his artillery crew, he was able to assume the identity of a slave foreman.

Then, he was sent here to manage this slave farm and grow crops for the elven nobles that God knows whether they can grow.

This made Brad wonder if he had offended someone or if he had made any elf noble unhappy.

But there is definitely no one to answer the question of a little slave.

Brad could only bite the bullet.

"I don't know what's going on with Temeria."

While skillfully plowing the land with a hoe, Brad muttered to himself.

He used to care a lot about what might happen in the north, but after becoming a slave, survival became his top priority, and he would only think of things in his hometown occasionally.

After all, now it looked like he was going to be a slave forever.

And when Brad put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and continued to focus on plowing the land, he suddenly heard a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.

This sound made him immediately alert, because this sound was not unfamiliar to him.

This is the sound of the portal.

Someone actually opened the portal here?This was Brad's first thought.

Then, the army that came out of the portal made him suspect that there was something wrong with his eyes.

Because what came out of there was a human army.

And more importantly, they have Temerian lilies above their heads.

But something strange is that above the fleur-de-lis flag, there is also a shield flag.

There are several colors on the shield, as well as the coats of arms of various northern countries.

Tears immediately flowed from Brad's eyes. He didn't pay attention to the strange shield, focusing on the Temerian soldiers who were walking out one after another.

At the same time, he was a little scared in his heart, fearing that all this was just an illusion.

And when the Temerians walked up to them and heard the familiar northern language in their ears, Brad finally confirmed that they were real.

After all these years, he finally saw the Temerians, he finally saw the armies of the north.

This brought tears to the eyes of the former gunner and now slave worker.

.

The northern army built a huge camp by a river beach outside Tilnaria.

Not far away was the elegant and beautiful Tirnaria, but now the city was filled with shouts of killing, the roar of artillery was also heard, and those elegant and slender towers fell one after another from time to time.

In the camp, according to the "Code of Conduct" issued by the federal army after the Third Northern War, the northerners dug wide and deep trenches and erected sufficiently reliable fences and wooden walls.

Due to the expansion of the military camp, three levels of such fortifications have been built.

However, the military camp continues to expand, because a steady stream of soldiers and workers are joining it.

The portal technology analyzed from the Black Ship is not stable in operation. Although they have located multiple portals in Til'Naria, these portals are scattered around Til'Naria.

Therefore, the army needs to be assembled again, but fortunately the distance between the armies is not very large, so the impact is not very big.

But even so, many troops rushed into the city recklessly.

This forced the northern commanders to cooperate with them as much as possible to prevent these guys who rushed too fast from being lost inside.

As for the labor, in addition to the professional military servants brought by the army, they are slaves liberated from the suburbs of Tilnaria.

To be honest, the number of slaves on the outskirts of Tilnaria exceeded the northern commander's expectations, and large slave farms were almost everywhere.

When the northerners arrived, the slaves' reaction was initially numb.

But after they reacted and realized that this was an army that came to liberate them, they joined the northern army one after another.

The Wild Hunt plundered the largest number of slaves from their world, which greatly aided the work of the Federation forces.

These northerners and southerners still recognize the flags of this army, which are the flags they have thought about for a long time.

In the military camp, there were busy soldiers everywhere. Workers were digging trenches and building fortifications. The soldiers followed orders and went to each battlefield. From time to time, large groups of cavalry roared past, and artillery teams hurried past. "Tell Selchik that I don't care about the casualties. I have to ask him to take down the Sage Towers as soon as possible. They can threaten the life and death of our army. I didn't give him the warlocks and half of the artillery just to let him. I complained!"

On the high platform where the entire city could be seen, Hemei was emphasizing the order, and then the Lord Protector looked at the burning city.

From here, you can see the whole of Tirnaria, which is usually a famous viewing spot in Ain El society.

But now, it has been occupied by humans, and humans have also built high platforms that are incompatible with the beautiful scenery.

However, Tilnaria is no longer as graceful and beautiful as it once was, and the city is now ruled by war.

Looking at the burning city, and thinking that the beautiful city in front of her was destroyed under her own order, Hemei felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Herme could also see that the artillery position not far from the city was spraying ammunition into the city, and the slender towers collapsed.

For Ayn El, the scene in Tirnaria is now almost like hell.

The sudden appearance of the human army rampaged through the streets, and the originally obedient slaves also rioted. Ain El's dream city has turned into a veritable hell.

If it fell into the hands of those humans, they would either kill the elves cleanly or take them as prisoners. But if it fell into the hands of slaves, they would ruthlessly kill their former masters.

Herme began to think about what he could gain from it. He believed that it was only a matter of time before Selchik solved the troublesome tower group.

After confirming that the warlock's door could open a passage to the Wild Hunt world through the technology analyzed from the black ship and the assistance of the unicorns, the Lord Protector decided to seize this opportunity.

Naturally, there are many doubts in the Northern Federation about this decision of the Protector.

Is it really reliable to rush to another world through a portal?

The essence of this world-traveling technology is the reverse research of the teleportation machine on the black ship. This is something that northern humans have never been exposed to.

In order to dispel these doubts, Hemei personally went to the World of Wild Hunt several times through the portal - of course, he did not dare to stay there for a long time, that is, just to take a look.

In order to convince others, he also roped in opponents and asked them to go to another world in person.

In this way, Hemei proved the reliability of the portal.

Coupled with the Protector's authoritative status within the federation, the Protector's decision was successfully passed.

However, when it comes to portal technology, it is a pity that Hemei naturally wants to strengthen the connections between various places by setting up portals in various places in the north. However, there has never been a breakthrough in the technical research on this, and the Lord Protector can only Can press his thoughts.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, he assembled [-] northern elites from all over the north. These soldiers came from all over the north, all had great achievements, and they were all veterans who had experienced many years of hard fighting.

Since things in Toussaint have just begun, there is no need for him to rush to focus on that side, and he should do some things that can be started immediately.

To maintain secrecy, none of the soldiers knew why they were gathering.

Such a large-scale gathering of troops also caused divergent opinions in Potekt. There were even outrageous rumors of a military coup, which made Herme dumbfounded.

It wasn't until they passed through the portal that they realized they were going to the country of the Wild Hunt - and of course, they also understood that the Wild Hunt was actually a group of elves.

As a result, it seems that there are undoubtedly more people gathered.

As the capital of the elves, Tirnaria naturally has many defenders. They are well-equipped and well-trained, but these armies have become extremely slack in the long-term comfortable environment.

It's okay to suppress slaves, but fighting a war would be too difficult for them.

In the leisurely life of Tilnaria, these warriors have lost their spirit.

Just as ten years of leisurely life can turn a warrior into a complete waste, what about a hundred years and a thousand years?No matter what happened in the past, he no longer has the ability to fight on the battlefield.

Moreover, most of the elven armies were defeated not by federal troops, but by rioting slaves.

When the slaves were led to resist, the elves found that their swords were so powerless.

The slaves also discovered at this moment that the elf guards who seemed so powerful turned out to be so weak.

Tirnaria is a large elven city with more than 20 residents. If you want to support such a huge city, you will naturally have an extremely huge output.

The combined population of the various slave farms surrounding Tilnaria is extremely terrifying.

After realizing this, Herme realized that the key to victory in this battle lay in mobilizing this slave population.

So Heme sent out many cavalry troops, carrying the heads of the elves, with only one thing to do.

That is to kill the managers of the slave estates, free the slaves, and then preferably let them kill a few elves.

Relying on this method, many cavalry teams swept thousands of troops and rampaged across the land of Ain El.

Ain El really didn't expect such a situation. For thousands of years, they were the only ones who went to various worlds to plunder, and they were never attacked in turn.

So, they paid the price with blood.

When Hemei first came here, he only had 5000 people in his hands, but with these 5000 people, he was able to gather the army and complete the blockade of the city.

Then in the next few days, cavalry was sent everywhere to sweep through and attack the elven garrisons scattered everywhere.

These all went very smoothly, but the battle in Tilnaria was not so smooth.

First, many troops entered the city recklessly, breaking Heme's original encirclement strategy, causing Heme to have to invest resources that should not have been used here so quickly.

Fortunately, the elves were not prepared at all for the arrival of the human army, and the northerners successfully defeated the city guards in the hands of the civil servants in the city, paving the way for victory.

Even Gale, the head of the civil service, was arrested.

A large number of elven nobles were also captured at the same time. However, because the army that attacked the noble area went deep alone at the time, they all executed them on the spot in order to prevent these prisoners from being obtained by the enemy.

Herme applauded this. In a society like Ain El, nobles must be the essence of its army. These people must be killed. The more they die, the lower the elves' combat effectiveness will be.

But the remaining Tilnaria defenders were tenacious beyond his expectation.

Although important locations such as the Elf Palace, the government, and the Red Cavalry barracks were captured immediately, the Sage Tower Group was still difficult to capture.

Those elven sages used the blessing of the tower to continuously throw all kinds of magic at the attacking federal army, making it difficult for humans to move forward.

The elven sages already represent the pinnacle of magic. When these elves fight, it's terrifying.

The troops that forced the attack were either blown to pieces by lightning or burned to ashes by fireballs. Many human soldiers died like this.

The sages also have their own guards. The northern soldiers will come to them after finally overcoming the bombardment of magic.

Moreover, the shields of these towers have been improved against the magic-blocking gold. The magic-blocking gold can penetrate the shield, but it cannot immediately disintegrate the shield. The shield will be restored after a while.

After the attack failed, the human army surrounded the tower group, and then carried out several rounds of attack and defense around the tower in the past few days.

Also due to the presence of the sages, those Tilnaria elves who survived the first wave of attacks continued to fight back.

As a martial society, Ayn Eldu has more or less mastery of military skills.

What's more, there are many veterans who have participated in the elves' war to conquer this world.

Although these elves have not touched weapons for a long time, their experience is still there.

Although military battles may not necessarily succeed, in urban street battles, there are costs.

In some places, federal troops were led into traps and then annihilated in complex terrain.

Therefore, the key to the battle lies in the battle near the tower group.

If this place is also lost, then Tilnaria's fall is completely inevitable.

Returning to the battlefield, Hemei, who was thinking about what he could gain, suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground from the sky.

The Protector raised his head and saw a shower of meteors and fire.

I have to say that compared to the city below, the meteor shower looked quite spectacular.

During this expedition, the Lord Protector also recruited many warlocks, including some great warlocks and combat warlocks, such as Triss Merigold.

There are countless warlocks who have responded to the call. Petekt has gathered a large number of warlocks to fight and give these warlocks a chance to gain status. They will be happy to rush forward.

Looking at the rain of fire in the sky, the Protector smiled, "Very good, let's begin."

.

Countless meteors and fire showers hit the protective shield of the tower, which caused the protective shield to become weak from time to time.

On the ground, the artillery kept roaring, some shells were blocked by the protective shield, and some shells hit the high tower, making the entire tower tremble uncontrollably.

These towers are very beautiful, full of elven style, but they also have many characteristics of mages, but more importantly, they are powerful fighting tools.

From time to time, the magic in the tower would hit the artillery position, causing the artillery and the entire artillery crew to take effect, but new artillery and artillery crews would soon be replaced.

There are also many warlocks who are constantly throwing magic at the tower. Because they are more flexible, they basically change their positions with one shot.

In the distance between the artillery and the tower were the ruins of houses, and the ruins were strewn with charred corpses.

Relying on the ruins of the wall, federal soldiers were hiding underneath, ready to rush out at any time.

Selchik sat outside the magic range, and the scene in front of him made him sigh that he was really old.

He had fought in many wars, but this was the first time he had seen such a sight of shells flying and dancing in front of him.

Selchik also feels very dreamy about this war.

The Wild Hunt is actually a group of elves. They came to the world of the Wild Hunt and fought in the capital of these elves.

And his mentality represents the mentality of many people in the military, and the impact it has on them is really big.

Selchik felt a little heartbroken when he saw the corpses under the towers. It was Aedirn's army that besieged the towers. In order to capture this important location, Herme brought out all the elites.

But now these elites have fallen there like this.

Finally, under constant bombardment, one tower broke directly and hit another tower next to it, followed by the second and third towers... The tower group that had troubled the federal army finally began to collapse.

"Blow the horn!"

Selchik immediately shouted, and the long-awaited trumpeter immediately blew his horn with all his strength.

When the horn sounded, the federal soldiers hiding behind the bunkers rushed out and attacked the collapsing towers.

And among the ruins of the tower, many elves emerged. They either shot arrows or threw magic and fought with humans.
