Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 237 Prelude to War
Although the location of the saliva demon has been determined, it is still extremely difficult to find this monster.

In any case, this is an extremely vast swamp.

Moreover, after the Scarlet Curse, monsters were everywhere, which made the search even more difficult.

Not to mention, there are many cultists ready to attack them at any time.

Therefore, for this team hunting the saliva demon, the distance and dangers of the next journey are extremely difficult.

Many people are bound to die on the road, but these sacrifices are acceptable to both parties leading the hunt.

While everyone went to hunt monsters, the world was also developing.

After all, the Aibing Province is the focus of the conflict between the North and the South, and the climax of this war has finally arrived.

As the main forces of both sides gradually arrived, the decisive battle between the Northern Federation and Nilfgaard also began in the Ebin Province.

When the main forces of both sides first arrived on the battlefield, most people didn't feel anything at all. The armies of the North and the South were engaged in routine small-scale wars, while the people were avoiding the war.

Then the main forces of both sides arrived. In a short period of time, nearly 20 troops poured into this land. A war that surpassed all the battles in the three Civil and South Wars was about to begin.

After such a huge army entered, there was no way to hide their traces, so the other side also knew about the enemy's arrival, and then the war began.

However, to be precise, it was the Nilfgaardians who launched a surprise attack on the northern army.

Emperor Torres' actions were firm and decisive. Soon after the Nilfgaardian army entered, he launched an assault on the northerners.

Ever since, without the usual mutual testing and small-scale fighting, the war began.

Surrounded by many knights, the Lord Protector of Aedirn crossed the shallow stream in front of him, with the flag of the Northern Confederacy flapping above his head.

Behind the Protector, there were groups of infantry heading to the battlefield. They passed by the field hospitals that were making busy preparations. The doctors were so busy that they didn't even have time to look up, because they knew that the wounded would soon be injured. will come.

The bards were composing poetry, which could only be conceived at the beginning of the war in time for the post-war banquet.

However, there are also many poets who are boosting morale, such as our famous Master Dan, who is showing off his singing and lute skills to the advancing armies.

But it is a pity that after all, it is time for war, and everyone has orders. It is okay to listen to Dandelion's poems, but it is impossible to stop.

After crossing the creek and climbing up the high slope, the battlefield where the battle was about to take place appeared in front of the Lord Protector.

This is a vast wilderness dotted with shrubs.

Before long, these bushes will be trampled by soldiers.

It is this kind of place where the armies of both sides can fight.

On the nearby high slopes, you can see that the northern army is nervously preparing to attack from high to low when the war begins.

Those were the troops of Queen Livia, and you could see the flag of Livia flying there. Under the red checkered flag, you could see Livia's sickles and crossbows everywhere.

Hermei's headquarters was organized under the high slope, and the Aedianites formed a strong army.

But now these people are basically sitting on the ground and resting, but looking at their postures, you can tell that these soldiers are ready to step forward at any time.

In front of them, groups of infantry were rushing to the front.

Parallel with them but moving in the opposite direction were carts full of wounded soldiers, wearing Temerian blouses.

The artillery was urgently digging positions at high altitudes, preparing to fire at the enemy.The crossbowmen were calmly adjusting their bow strings, while the musketeers were quietly adjusting their firearms. A small number of newcomers no longer panicked when they saw how calm their seniors were.

In the distance of all this, there were constant cries of killing. The Nilfgaardians were making an assault, but they were blocked by the northerners.

"Any new news from Natalis?"

Hemei asked as he watched a group of mercenaries with messy armor walking toward the battlefield.

The Protector looked into the distance with worry in his eyes, where a battle he couldn't see was taking place.

"Marshal Natalis said that he will hold off the Nilfgaardians and the Temerians will not take a step back until the order arrives."

Valentine said with his usual extremely fast speaking speed, and Herme immediately grabbed the key information from it.

"Let Natalis prepare to retreat. There is no need for them to fight to the death now. Blocking the Nilfgaardians is just to prepare the formation. Since the mission has been accomplished, let's rendezvous as soon as possible."

After saying these words, Herme looked at a group of warlocks who were meditating next to them. They were led by Abelard, who was now the chief warlock of the north.

"Abelard, have you noticed any magic the Nilfgaardians are brewing?"

"No, Lord Protector, there is no change in the chaos magic power. We will continue to monitor it and will tell you immediately if there is any change."

Hemei nodded and continued to look forward, watching the envoys carrying his orders hurried to the front line.

"By the way, Valentin, has the matter with the saliva demon been dealt with?"

The thing about that saliva demon has always been weighing on Hemei's heart like a big stone.

The destructive power of the saliva demon is really too great. If it goes crazy on the battlefield, many people may die.

The most important thing is that at this critical moment when the decisive battle is about to begin, it would be too bad if this monster came out to cause trouble.

Hemei is determined about victory.

In the past, all the elites of Nilfgaard were defeated in front of him. There is no way that the men in black today can compare with the men in black in the three northern wars.

Therefore, victory must belong to him.

But the premise is that the monster Saliva Demon doesn't come to cause trouble. This monster is enough to destroy a city, and it is even easier to destroy a war.

Therefore, he had to deal with this unstable factor, and he didn't want to bet on whether this thing would destroy the man in black.

"Still no news, Lord Protector."

The attendant's answer made Hermey feel disappointed from the bottom of his heart. He did not hide his expression, and there was no need to hide it.

Even though there is no news yet, the current battle cannot be postponed. The Nilfgaardians have launched a full-force assault posture as soon as they come up. It seems that they want to catch him off guard, and he must respond with all his strength.

That Torres is an enemy that cannot be underestimated. In the past three years, Herme has watched with her own eyes how this guy won one military victory after another until he became the emperor of Nilfgaard.

Damn it, you bastard, don't mess with me.

Hermey said in her heart.
