Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 55 The Last Intermission (End of this volume)
It was a wild night for Herme.

When he woke up from the big velvet bed, Herme saw his wife's beautiful and clean back, and subconsciously recalled it.

Yesterday was a totally crazy night.

Although it was the first time, as a woman who often worked hard on the battlefield, Katya quickly adapted to it.

Then Herme felt the power of those long legs, and the Earl of Sazarburg felt his whole body drifting away.

So they tossed very late. At the most intense time, Herme suspected that their voices could be heard in the entire Fort Sazar.

Herme was still a little concerned about the influence at the time, but she quickly put aside these thoughts. Forget it, maybe someone is listening outside the door now, and it doesn't matter.

But now, Herme suppressed the desire in her heart. After all, it was the first time for Katya, and the days were still long, and there was always time to do that kind of thing.

So he kissed Katya's hair, the black hair exuded a fragrance, and then his forehead, and at this moment, Katya woke up.

The black eyes were full of shyness, Katya no longer had the indifference of the day, and Hemei felt that there was love in those eyes.

Katya recalled the madness of last night, ah, this is really...

Involuntarily, she touched her lower abdomen. She seemed to be able to feel the existence of the seeds. She hoped that these seeds could take root and germinate, so that she could get up early and give birth to a child for Hermi.

"Okay, don't be dazed, it's time to show the sheets."

Herme began to pull up his shirt, and Katya also put on his clothes. Both of them were martial arts practitioners, so although they were crazy last night, it still had little effect on their actions.

However, although her movements were quick, Katya still had a look of pain on her face. After all, it was she who suffered the pain of breaking the melon.

And Hemei also noticed his wife's expression, he touched Katya's head as a comfort, and then very rarely, Katya's face showed a comfortable expression like a cub being caressed.

Next, the two of them tore the sheets off the bed together. Looking at the spread of red things, Katya couldn't help being shy, and the shyness on her face became stronger.

But steps still have to be taken, and this is the last step for them to complete their wedding.

Traditionally, bed sheets are displayed to represent the virginity of married ladies.

In northern society, although virgins are as scarce as unicorns, the more they are, the more they value this.

This is especially evident in marriages between nobles.

As far as Hemei knew, some nobles would smear some other blood on the bed sheets to avoid embarrassment, but Hemei did not have such embarrassment at all, this was his "masterpiece".

When Herme and Katya spread out the sheets on the balcony together, all the people who had been waiting for a long time cheered, because this was the last step of this marriage. At this point, Herme's wedding was officially over.

Many people are happy because of this, especially Heme's subjects. The marriage of their ruler means the birth of offspring, and the birth of offspring means a smooth inheritance.

A smooth inheritance means avoiding wars and turmoil, and means that the interests obtained by oneself will not be violated. This is a good thing that everyone expects.

Of course, the guy who is afraid of chaos is an exception, and those schemers and ambitious people will never be peaceful.

And next, what everyone expects is naturally that Katya will give birth to a child with Hemei's blood, and the boy is undoubtedly the best.

Because a boy represents a stable inheritance, and everything that represents Fort Sazar is inherited and maintained, and everyone welcomes this very much.

Herme and Katya stood on the balcony, receiving the cheers from the people. Their faces were full of excitement and pride, and Katya's face was even more shy.

There is no doubt that Sazarburg will inevitably move towards a more prosperous era next.

Everyone here believes in this.

.

When the incomparably grand banquet in Fort Sazar ended, in the distant grassland, a defeated warlord was lamenting in a cave.

This cave is very large. It was once occupied by a Haklan tribe and became their living home. For this reason, they transformed many parts of the cave to make it more suitable for living.

It's just that hiding in the cave didn't allow them to avoid the disputes on the Harkland grassland. After all, the tribe was attacked, and they failed to stop the attackers.

According to Harkland's tradition, everyone in the entire tribe was killed and their heads were piled up into Jingguan.

Since then, no one has visited the cave, and it is said that powerful monsters are entrenched in it.

No one wants to come here. It is said that the monster was attracted by those corpses, and since then this cave has become a place of death.

Until a defeated warlord led his team here, they killed the basilisks entrenched here, and then began to rest in this cave.

These people didn't take killing monsters seriously either. For the men in Harkland, fighting monsters was a part of life.

Now, there are about 400 people scattered in the cave, many of them with wounds, and the herbalist accompanying the army is treating these wounds.

A gloomy atmosphere filled the army. People who had not yet been injured were drying their clothes by the fire. They had been drenched in a lot of rain before.

Now they can only rejoice that at least they still have a cave where they can hide from the wind and rain, and the pursuers outside were also forced to stop their pursuit because of the rain.

These nomads don't know how their leader found this place, which can shelter them from the storm tonight.

Although there was only one monster, but when everyone swarmed up, that guy fell down.

After all, monsters cannot fight against humans. Although they are powerful, they are just beasts.

The monster's lair is now occupied by humans, and the humans are very happy. At least they don't have to walk in the rain, otherwise there will be fewer people here.

Everyone doesn't know what the chief who brought them here wants to do, but here are basically the chief's loyalists.

In any case, just follow the chief. As for what will happen tomorrow, they are all ignorant.

And the chief who led this army was none other than the chief Haklan who once invaded the land of the Cossacks, Ketai'an.

Sitting by the fire, Ke Tai'an was roasting the mutton carried by the guards. The mutton was only sprinkled with some salt, and the smell was very strong, but Ke Tai'an didn't care, and just stuffed it into his mouth.

When Ketai'an glanced at the crowd, everyone would lower their heads in fear. Although the battle had already been defeated, everyone was still very afraid of the "cannibal".

This satisfied Ketai'an, and his subordinates were still in awe, which was good, because his cannibalism was to maintain the awe of his subordinates.

And the awe is still there, which is good.

But although Tai'an looks stable on the surface, he has a lot of thoughts in his heart. He is recalling his experiences over the years.

Since the return of the Cossack land, he has annexed many tribes and wealth, but he has also become the object of siege.

Although everyone accuses them of reneging on their alliances, and everyone often reneges on their alliances, it is very rare for Ketaian to sell so many allies and kill them all. Even in Hakland, whose moral character is already very low, This is also rare.

So everyone happily launched a siege on Ketai'an. Such a good target for besieging was too difficult to find, so everyone was very active, almost launching a siege on Ketai'an one after another.

Originally, in Ketai'an's opinion, he killed so many tribes this time, and it would take some time for others to rob the unlucky ones, enough for self-cultivation, but he still intentionally or unintentionally underestimated the greed of the grassland tribes .

After all, direct grabbing is always more profitable than grabbing pastures, and everyone is doing both things at the same time, and they will have a tacit understanding to put aside the pasture dispute for a while, and then attack Ketai'an together.

In their view, Ketai'an had cheated so many tribes, and he was the master of a large tribe, so the resources in his hands must be enough for everyone to make a fortune.

But Tai'an blocked the initial siege and strung the heads of the defeated on the battlefield as a deterrent to the defeated.

It's a pity, just when he thought everything was about the same, this wasn't the end, it was just the beginning.

The enemy continued to attack, and the wolves on the grassland seemed to smell blood, and they attacked him continuously, wave after wave.

But Tai'an can win once or twice, but three times, four times, five times and six times are another matter. The enemy is always coming in a steady stream.

But Tai'an continued to win, but his power was getting weaker and weaker. After all, the war was like chasing him.

The constant attrition and the escape of personnel made him more and more like a loser, and his power was weakened more and more.

But Tai'an couldn't settle down in one place, so he could only take the tribe to move around. Naturally, the move couldn't let the tribe recuperate, and the hearts of the whole tribe became more and more scattered.

Under such circumstances, Ketai'an was finally defeated. He was defeated by the coalition forces of various ministries, and then the entire tribe dispersed, leaving only these three or 400 people around.

He had to be thankful, because those greedy wolves fought to snatch his tribal assets and gave him a chance to escape, otherwise he would not have escaped at all.

And when he was wandering on the grassland in despair, avoiding the pursuers, he received a letter, which was brought by a crow.

That crow made Ke Taian feel very strange, and his intuition told him that it was not an ordinary crow, and the color of the crow's eyes was dark red, which undoubtedly showed that it was extraordinary.

And the letter brought by the crow led him here.

Normally, he would never believe this information, but now his identity is different, so he went to the place mentioned in the letter and came to this cave.

"Chief, I just counted, and there are still 350 nine people, and most of them can continue to fight."

The guard with the iron mask reported the news, which made Ke Tai'an's heart sink, but he definitely couldn't say it.

The guards were still respectful, they couldn't see the change in Ke Tai'an's psychology at all, but even if they could, they wouldn't say a word, because they were loyal to Ke Tai'an.

"Well, I see, let's get on with it."

But Tai'an really lamented that he used to have more than 300 cavalry under his command, but now there are only more than [-] of them. The contrast is really too great.

He remembered that desperate battle. He faced tens of thousands of people, no matter how bravely he fought, he was still defeated in the end.

This Chief Harklan felt a little desperate. Although there had never been many examples of Jedi counterattacks on the grasslands, it would be very difficult for him to attract people in the current situation of the public enemy of the grasslands.

And if he came out to do activities, he might not be besieged immediately.

Then, he remembered the letter that led him here, but Tai'an took out the letter and looked at the words on it.

These texts look quite extraordinary, and they are very beautifully written. They are written in Serikania. The person who wrote this letter obviously knew that Ketaian could understand this kind of text—this was an important reason why he came here. The man who wrote this letter undoubtedly knew him very well.

He was thinking about when those people who sent this letter would come to see him. These people must have a purpose to see him.

While Ketai Anshang was still thinking, suddenly, a group of figures in black robes walked out from the depths of the cave.

But the cave where Tai'an was in was very large, and his remnants and defeated generals actually only occupied the exit, and solved the petrified lizards entrenched here. The deeper part has not been explored yet, and the situation inside is still unknown.

So when they saw someone coming out from inside, everyone took up their weapons subconsciously, and some people planned to form an formation, but then they stopped their actions under Ketai'an's order.

"Don't act rashly, they are believers in Niya."

But Tai'an said again, he had already seen the appearance of those people clearly, tsk, isn't this attire the eclipse of the eternal night?
As a nomadic chieftain who had plundered caravans on the border of Serikania for a long time, Ketai'an certainly knew the dress and appearance of these Lilit believers. Looking at their masks, he recognized the identities of these people.

"So, you asked me to come here."

Ke Tai'an asked these people loudly, the first answer was silence, and when Ke Tai'an was a little impatient, the response finally came.

"Master Tai'an, we have been waiting for a long time, please come with us."

A person wearing a golden mask said, looking at the respectful looks of those cult members, you can tell that this is the leader of this group of people.

But Tai'an didn't hesitate much about the invitation, and walked over with his personal guards.

He is almost dead now, even if this is a trap, what is it?He might as well simply go and see what these people wanted him to come here for.

Under the leadership of the leader of the cult, Ke Tai'an and others went deep into the cave. As they got deeper, Ke Tai'an could see many symbols and emblems belonging to Niya believers, and some small altars could be seen from time to time.

All this tells him that these Niya believers have been stationed here for a long time.

For no reason, Tai'an felt a fear in his heart. This was not the first time he had seen a believer in the Eclipse of Eternal Night. In fact, he had killed quite a few. The Haklan people would not kill him just because that person was a believer in Niya. And let them go.

But the Niya believers here gave Ketaian a strange feeling, especially the leader. He could clearly feel that this person was powerful.

After turning around in the cave, Ke Tai'an saw that the scene around him became more and more terrifying. Skeleton decorations and various "flesh art" could be seen everywhere.

As a Harkland chief who often creates such scenes, these naturally cannot scare him, but he really feels a little strange, and there is a sense of dissonance everywhere, as if there is Lilit in these things The divine power is average.

And the closer you get, the stronger this feeling becomes.

Finally, at the end of the cave, Ke Tai'an saw what the cultists wanted him to see. To be precise, it was a person, but it could be said that it was not a person.

It was a man sitting on a complicated formation. This man was dressed like an ordinary nomad, with a cuffed leather cap and a machete with an ordinary scabbard on his waist.

He had built a fire and was eating roast mutton.

And seeing this person, Tai'an suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. This person in front of him made him want to kneel down...

"Lord Ketai'an, please pay tribute to Lord Wulu, the 'Whip of Niya'."

The head of the cult said loudly, and that "Niya's Whip" also turned around. It was a thin face with dark red eyes shining.

What he held in his hand was a string of half-raw mutton, and there were still many places on it that were not cooked, but this man didn't care, and just stuffed it into his mouth like a wild animal, chewing on the flesh.

Undoubtedly, this is a typical Harkland war lord. From his appearance, one can tell that he has been struggling for countless years in the bloody battle in Hakland.

"Cannibal, right? I've heard of your reputation. To be honest, you look like one of my subordinates back then. You look pretty good."

The self-proclaimed "Niya's Whip" said casually, and then stuffed the half-baked mutton into his mouth. He didn't care about the flesh and blood at all. It can even be said that he ate more happily with blood.

"Yes, Khan."

Although he didn't know what the "Niya's Whip" looked like, Ke Tai'an said respectfully.

There is no other reason. When he saw this person, he felt that this person was extraordinary. He must have strength.

Those eyes... There is no doubt that Niya gave this person strength.

And more importantly, from this person, he saw his chance to stand up, and he more or less thought of the reason why the Niya believers brought him to meet this person.

And, well, no matter what happened, this seemed to be my last chance, how could I not seize this opportunity.

"Khan, all the weapons and equipment are ready for you, and now, an army is also ready, please start your journey!"

The leader of Eclipse of Eternal Night said with a posture as if performing a stage play, but what he got in return was a reprimand from Khan,
"Shut up, wizard, that's my business, you don't need to talk too much."

Wulu walked in front of Ketai'an, looking at the Chief Harkland, satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"Come on, young man, let's start the war. I want to unify Hakland again. It should take a few years, but it doesn't matter. It's just a few years. After all this is done, we will use Niya's Sweep the world in name!"

Then the revived Khan strode out, but Tai'an hurriedly followed behind him like a follower.

And the leader of the Eclipse of Eternal Night watched this scene, his face under the mask laughed.

　Ah, the first volume is over, thank you readers for your support.Next, the plot will turn to the Second Northern War, and Hermey will become a real chess player in the Second Northern War, changing the direction of this war.
