Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 234 The city-destroying monster

The saliva demon is the product of a combination of magic and misfortune. It is a monster that looks like a giant snake and has millions of legs.

As the pinnacle work of the legendary warlock Arzu, the Salivary Demon is one of the most powerful combatants in the world, no less powerful than those gods who intervene in the world.

From this, we can also see the gold content of Arzu as a warlock.

And now, Arzu's pinnacle work is combined with the power of the evil god Lilit.

After the incident in Maribo, the saliva demon fled the north and came to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons to cultivate.

Although it escaped, it was still seriously injured, so after eating a large number of monsters, it began to sleep.

Next, a demon hunter discovered this huge monster. After realizing that it was a huge threat, the demon hunter wanted to kill the monster, but found that he was unable to break through the dormant saliva demon's carapace.

He also looked for other demon hunters and warlocks, but no one could do anything about it.

After many failed attempts, the demon hunter had no choice but to change his strategy. He decided to stay here for the rest of his life and use his abilities to seal away this monster.

Things changed a lot after that. Demon hunters made a living by hunting demons here. I don’t know when some refugees came to the valley and settled here.

Relying on the protection of the demon hunters, they have developed relatively smoothly, making this Demonic Cave somewhat popular.

However, after they saw the sleeping monster, they actually developed a worship of the monster.

They built temples to the monster and began to worship the beast.

The demon hunter naturally wanted to stop them, but he didn't expect that the villagers would actually guard him.

The dying demon hunter drank a fatal potion to regain his fighting power. Then he killed all the villagers who had become cultists, and he himself fell after that.

The monsters disposed of the corpses, and time erased all traces of human settlement, making it as if everything had never existed.

But temples built on giant beasts still exist, and stone buildings can survive for a long time.

It's just that no one cares about it for a long time, as if it has been forgotten.

It wasn't until the arrival of the Eclipse of Eternal Night that things changed.

These cultists had learned their lesson, so they decided to combine the power of the goddess they worshiped with the monsters of Arzu.

In the end, they succeeded, using their blood and souls to create a monster unprecedented in this world, giving the murderous gods a powerful tool to spread fear in the world.

Geralt and Regis, who ran out of the temple, looked at the centipede monster in the sky, whose body was filled with bloody energy, with bitter looks on their faces.

The Saliva Demon was originally a monster that stood at the top of the world, but now that it has been imbued with the power of Lilit, it is no longer a bit terrifying.

Both the demon hunter and the vampire knew that this time it was a complete mess. The mission failed first, and then an incredible monster appeared.

"Geralt, what do we do now?"

Looking at the saliva demon who was silently staring at the sky like a doomsday beast, Regis asked.

The vampire's expression was very calm when he said these words. After all, Regis had experienced many years and had seen many things. Although what he saw in front of him surprised him, it was nothing more than that.

You know, he had seen Lilit walking in the world with his own eyes back then.

He has nothing to fear about this monster. The era of monsters and monsters has passed. Even though things have happened again under the scarlet curse, it is only temporary.

"Now that we've taken over this mess, we have to figure out how to solve it."

Geralt said as he drew his sword, "Monsters will always be dealt with."

And just when the demon hunter made up his mind to deal with the monster and planned to attract some people to do so, the demon in the sky moved.

The centipede monster flew to the north, and Geralt's expression immediately changed.

Because that direction was Esengre, the capital of the Nasser Province, it was obvious what the Salivator was going to do there.

"Regis! Let's go, it seems we can't delay at all!"

The demon hunter quickly chased in the direction where the saliva demon was heading. He knew that he was weak against the saliva demon, but the demon hunter didn't exist just for this moment.

Therefore, Bai Lang didn't hesitate at all.

.

Eisengre.

As the capital of the Nasser Province and the northernmost large city in Nilfgaard, there is naturally a large number of imperial troops here.

Of course, Torres could see the current situation of the North-South offensive and defensive situation, so he decided to use Esengre as a nail to block the possible southward movement of the northerners.

Moreover, the centrifugal force of the imperial provinces towards the empire has always been very strong, and the people in the provinces will never forget how the empire treated them.

With the situation changing from north to south, the provinces in the north will definitely be more unstable.

Torres's choice is undoubtedly the right one, precisely because there is a huge imperial army here and it is still in the hands of the empire.After all, even with so many garrisons, various forces are still running around this province.

But now, this Nilfgaardian planned first line of defense facing the north has encountered an unexpected attack.

When the saliva demon first appeared, everyone only saw black spots appearing in the sky. No one, whether it was soldiers or people, took it seriously.

People are busy with their own lives, and they don't have the energy to take care of the changes in the sky. What's more, the situation in Nasser Province is becoming increasingly tense during this time.

Everyone knows that drastic changes will only happen sooner or later, and there is no telling when it will come.

I guess only children care about the scene in the sky.

Then, people find themselves unknowingly in the shadows.

Then the huge saliva demon just crushed the city.

In just a moment, the entire city suffered huge casualties.

Facing this huge monster, both the garrison and the soldiers died under the earth-shaking power brought by the saliva demon.

For humans, this is beyond their imagination.

In this era, monsters that destroy cities are already very unfamiliar, especially in the south, where monsters are extremely rare.

Even if the scarlet curse causes monsters to proliferate, it cannot change people's minds.

Next, the saliva demon began to wreak havoc in the city. Under its huge body, buildings collapsed one after another, and the saliva demon directly occupied the former palace in the city.

Wherever the saliva demon passed, a large amount of dark red energy was produced, and this energy took away the souls of each death.

However, under such circumstances, the garrison still launched an attack on this monster. As Nilfgaard's first frontier, there are still many elites from the empire here.

After reacting, they used crossbows and artillery to continuously bombard the monster entrenched in the center of the city.

Although most of the crossbow arrows and cannonballs bounced off the saliva demon's carapace, they still made the centipede monster continue to wail.

But it was a pity that these artillery and ballistae were destroyed by the saliva demon.

After almost destroying the entire city, the saliva demon left the city directly, leaving nothing but corpses and ruins everywhere.

The survivors leaned out of the ruins fearfully and cheered in disbelief, but then turned into crying.

Even for people who already regard death as a very common thing, this thing is really cruel.

The home they lived in was turned into ruins, and countless friends and relatives died. This prosperous city suffered a disaster.

Although there are still many people who survived the saliva demon, the city was destroyed after all.

Half of Eisengre was in ruins, and a large part of the city wall collapsed.

For the local Nilfgaardian garrison commander, this was really too bad.

The frontier defense army, which was originally intended to prevent the Yankees from returning, suffered heavy losses, and the provincial capital, which they relied on, was also reduced to ruins.

Seeing the surviving Nilfgaardian soldiers gathered together in confusion, the garrison commander's mood became even worse.

Then the worse information came. In the hands of the envoy who was stunned when he saw the city turning into what it is now, the garrison commander got important information about the border.

That's when northerners crossed the border.

According to frontline reconnaissance, [-] northern troops have defeated the Nilfgaardian garrison on the border, and bandits and rebels scattered in the wilderness have also responded to them. It is with the help of these people that the northerners have been able to progress so quickly. .

Many towns have already sided with the northerners, and the fortresses of the imperial army have been isolated one by one.

Now, the Northerners were heading towards Eisengre.

With this information, the garrison commander didn't know what to say. The situation in front of him was really too bad.

The Nilfgaardian army in Eisengre is the key to defending and garrisoning this province. Now that these troops have suffered heavy losses, how can they resist?

Although there are still a lot of soldiers, how could the destroyed organizational structure be rebuilt so quickly.

While the local garrison commander felt that a disaster was imminent, Geralt and Regis were chasing the saliva demon who left the city.

They originally planned to go to the provincial capital to fight the Saliva Demon to the death, but they never expected that the monster would leave the city after making a big fuss.

From a distance, they saw the scene caused by the saliva demon. This was the first time that White Wolf was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. Even White Wolf had never seen the scene of giant monsters destroying cities.

Then it made him more determined to kill this monster, this damn monster had to die.

So they continued to chase after them, and looking at the direction the monster was heading, their premonitions became increasingly bad. The monster was probably planning to go to other cities... God knows how many people would die as a result.
