Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 83 Capture the Flag
"Follow me!"

Herme beckoned everyone to follow him.

Right now, Adal Aip Daxi's place is just as he expected, and the defense is obviously empty. It is entirely possible to seize this opportunity and seize the flag.

It's just that the risk is still very high. If you want to go to A'dal, you have to cross a vast battlefield. If you are found and then blocked in the middle, you will fail.

But now that it has reached this point, there is no way to regret it, and it can only keep moving forward.

But he didn't rush in a hurry, the team was not moving fast, Herme observed the battlefield, thinking about how to get to the Nilfgaardian coach in a safer way.

While thinking, Hemei did not forget to reload the spring wheel gun in his hand.

When this thing is used well, it can produce unexpected effects.

He still remembered that he killed that Nilfgaardian general with one shot during the Battle of Wengerburg, which ended the battle. Maybe he could also kill that bastard Adal with one shot like this.

The Wind Tower Brigade was completely immersed in the battle with the royal knights, and Gwama's presence on the front line made the entire army lose control, and they ignored Herme like this.

On Herme's side, he finally figured out a way, and then he led the team into the forest.

The reason for the change of mind is simple. It is too risky to rush directly, so it is better to go around as much as possible, go behind that guy Adal as much as possible, and then give him a "surprise".

This choice of his also made many people breathe a sigh of relief. It was much better to go to the forest than to rush directly to the black sun banner.

And his choice was correct. Not long after they got into the forest, a team of Nilfgaardian cavalry ran past the place where they had just been. If Herme's team was still there, they would definitely have to fight this team. Get up, and get caught up in entanglements.

In the forest, Herme's team quickly encountered many dead Scoia'tael and Nilfgaardian skirmishers, among which were the corpses of several members of the Aedirn Special Forces.

Seeing this, Herme knew that Leila should have been here.

This made him feel more at ease. With Leila's people sweeping it, it should be difficult to meet enemies here.

Mentioning Layla, Herme remembered the task she had given them, asking them to find possible successors of the Nilfgaardians.

At that time, they were just looking for it aimlessly, but when they saw the green flame rising into the sky, they should have understood what they were going to solve.

Looking at the battlefield, there has been no green flame across the sky for a long time. It seems that they have already solved that thing.

For this, Hemei was quite surprised. This was just a piece of his free chess, but he didn't expect this free game to be a big success.

Now, Herme intends to advance a certain distance in the forest, try to detour back to the back of the Nilfgaardian army formation, and kill that damned Adar Aip Darcy at once, even if he can't kill this guy. He fled.

Just as Herme was thinking about how to make a surprise attack next, Marendo suddenly motioned for Herme to stop, which meant that there were people nearby.

Seeing this, Duke Protector subconsciously put his hand on his spring wheel gun, and he could pull it out and shoot at any time.

The others are naturally ready to fight, ready to fight at all times.

It's just that they finally found out that those who appeared were friendly troops.

Those people who came out of the forest all had the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Aden on their bodies, and although they were all covered in blood, it could still be seen that they were wearing the uniforms of the Aedirn Special Forces.

"I salute you, Lord Protector."

Leila naturally paid tribute to Herme with the most standard military posture. Herme nodded in response, and then looked at the special forces that were pouring out of the forest.

Recently, the Special Forces had only replenished their manpower back to [-], but judging from the current situation, their losses may be nearly half.

He also saw the wounded on the stretcher, and among them, Herme saw Viator, his previous servant.

Seeing that it was Herme, Viato hurriedly got up, and Herme also waved to his attendant, but he didn't intend to chat with Viato, because he didn't have that time now, it would be better for him to have a good rest .

Naturally, it was Layla who told about everything they had experienced. After hearing that it was Viator who fought the whole army and killed the Nilfgaardian crossbow, Herme was quite surprised.

I didn't expect that the little attendant who went out from me could achieve such a feat.

Next, Hemei incorporated all the people who could still move here into his troops. He was going to capture the flag, so it would be better to have more troops around him.

As for the wounded, they should continue to be sent to the rear, as far away from the battlefield as possible. Herme assigned some people to protect them.

After recruiting and increasing the manpower, Herme calculated their positions.

He felt that now is the time to launch a surprise attack there, and by taking this opportunity, he must give that Adal Aip Daxi a good look.

.

"Barbarians are barbarians after all, and they will inevitably collapse in front of the imperial army."

Seeing that the battle situation in front of him tended to be stable, and even developed in a direction beneficial to the empire, Adal said proudly and arrogantly,

After the last batch of reserve troops headed by the Sunlun Division entered the battlefield, the people of Aedirn became more and more desperate.

First, the previous shock wave was stopped, and then the fronts of the two sides pushed each other. Now the northerners are showing signs of retreat.

In his view, this battle will definitely wash away the humiliation of losing to the northerners.

Duke Adal even began to think about how to clean up this land after the war, how to evacuate and rob everything here.

The resistance of the northerners made him so passive, and these savages must pay the price.

Especially that Herme, if he hadn't stepped in, how could things have developed into what they are now.

And that damn Queen Livia, this woman is like a cockroach, she can't be beaten to death, and she keeps making trouble for herself, so she must die.

The two attendants around Adal were desperately flattering their duke, which made Adal feel comfortable serving him. He just liked the feeling of being flattered like this.

In contrast, the senior officers present were basically expressionless. They didn't like this guy, and it was already the limit for such emotions.

A'dal naturally saw all these expressions in his eyes.

Hmph, these guys look down on him all day long, they are just a group of pawns, who are the pawns looking down on here?

After the war, his own prestige was enough, and Adal planned to carry out a purge of the Eastern Group Army, clearing out some ignorant senior officers, and then replacing them with obedient people who were really willing to obey him.

The crimes are all ready-made, "clean up the remnants of the usurper", just drag people out and chop them up.

Even if the current Nilfgaardian army has undergone several purges, there are still people related to the usurper everywhere. After all, this powerful army was built by that person in the final analysis.

Adal was still thinking about how to use this victory to create momentum in the City of the Golden Tower and replenish all the political resources that had been lost.

The ancient family took a lot of things from him before, and he wanted to get them all back to let those guys know that his things were not so easy to get.

The Nilfgaardian soldiers on the periphery naturally don't know what the bosses above are thinking, they are watching the fight in front of them now.

And those recruits cheered and excited that the balance of victory in this war was in their favor.

In the eyes of some veterans, this is too childish and too rookie.

The imperial army has such an advantage, and victory should be taken for granted. What is so strange about this, let's think about how to collect the spoils after the war.

"Hey, Val, brace yourself, if those officers find you lazy, you'll be whipped. And aren't you excited? It looks like we're going to win soon, and we'll get the prize then!"

A soldier in a pot helmet and jacket called out to the veteran who was dozing on his spear.

He was amazed that the veteran was able to sleep, and seemed to be sleeping soundly, with all the fighting ahead.

"No one cares about us. I can do whatever I want. The high officials are all focused on the battlefield, and the military judges are all on the front line. Don't be so nervous."

The veteran's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him,

"Don't be so excited, don't you see if this has something to do with our two sentinels here? We can't go to the front line to get spoils, even if we send someone urgently, we won't be sent. Don't forget, you and me They are all from provinces, so if they want to grab them, they must first be robbed by the elders of the City of Golden Pagodas."

Hearing this, the recruit's mood was obviously depressed.

He left his hometown to join the army, thinking that he could have a big adventure that he had never seen before, but he stood here most of the time.

Not being able to participate in the great war now looming—of course, the other thought was to be thankful not to be involved in such a brutal battle.

He didn't have any doubts about the veteran's words. This veteran was from the same village as him, and he had joined the army several times. It was he who brought him out to serve as a soldier.

"Dylan, think about how to save your life, and then go home safely. After the war is over, you usually have to pay a bounty and go home with that money. Or you can sign up after the war and join the immigration group." You can also take a piece of land. We are in a good position now, and we have been standing guard throughout the entire war. Isn’t that good? Also, don’t have so many military laws and regulations in your mind, and be flexible when you really need to be flexible ..."

The veteran chattered and said that although Dylan knew that this was imparting life experience, he couldn't help but move his thoughts outward. The war he wanted was not like this.

Suddenly, Dylan saw soldiers appearing on the edge of the forest that he was looking directly at unconsciously.

And his good eyesight allowed him to see that there was nothing but the Men of Aedirn.

He quickly shook the veteran and told him what happened.

The veteran's next reaction was unimaginable, and he directly pulled him into a nearby tunnel.

This also saved their lives, because the next moment a group of cavalry rushed over, and they were obviously very anxious, ignoring the two Nilfgaardian sentries who were hiding aside.

.

"Stop them!"

"Protect Duke Adal's safety!"

"Why are there so many northerners? Where's the sentinel? Are they all dead?"

For Adal's command, they never imagined that suddenly, so many northerners rushed out from behind them.

Those who charged were not ordinary northerners, they were all well-equipped elites, and those cavalry were obviously veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

And these cavalry have only one purpose, and that is to behead Adal Aip Daxi.

One of the problems with the full reserve team is reflected, that is, Adal is only surrounded by his guards, as well as some servants and generals.

So just for a moment, they fell into a disadvantage.

There are many servants and entourages, but these people have no fighting power at all. When the northerners killed a few people, they scattered and fled.

The Adenites came with an extremely violent attitude. They rushed directly into the Nilfgaardian's line as if they were desperate, and started a scuffle and fight, and most importantly, they went to Adar Aip Daxi kill.

They don't have to work hard. If the Nilfgaardians here are given more time, they may pull the Nilfgaardians from the front line.

If that is the case, they will all be wiped out, so the task must be completed as soon as possible.

And A'dal's face was full of fear now.

Although this nobleman of Nilfgaard had killed many people, he also killed many people with his own hands.

But they were all killed with daggers and poison, and they were killed in absolute safety.

Like this, he was less than ten meters away from the bloody fight, and watched hordes of northerners rushing in front of him, that was an experience he had never had before.

A'dal has completely lost the arrogance and elegance he had before, and there is only fear and fear in his eyes, only the fear and force of death.

Adal has never been a brave person, only when he is surrounded by his family's dead soldiers and the imperial army, he will appear so graceful and fearless.

So now the truth came to light. Everyone in Nilfgaard who saw Adal's reaction was disgusted and disgusted, especially those senior officers.

Although, they were even more aggrieved because they had to work hard for this trash and help him block the northerners.

Seeing this scene, Hermione felt extremely happy and happy.

Although this was the first time he had seen this guy, Hemei could tell what his face looked like from the lines in his words, and Hemei had always been extremely disgusted.

At first, Herme was quite surprised to see this guy still standing still. Originally, Herme thought that this Nilfgaardian would definitely run away as soon as his army arrived, but now he is standing here.

The fact is that Herme was completely wrong. Adal was just stunned by the sudden fight and battle before him, and just stood there with a terrified expression.

Herme also got closer and closer to this guy, saw the expression on his face clearly, realized the truth, and then felt happy.

Then he complained in his heart that this guy's war quality is really bad, and Emhyr actually let such a person be the commander of the Eastern Army.

After all, for A'dal, it was one thing to watch the atrocities under his orders from a distance, but it was another thing to watch the killing close up.

Homer pulled out his wheel-wheel gun, and now he had enough distance to blow the guy's head off.

As the musket was fired, a projectile flew past.

It's a pity that this only scratched A'dal's face, and the severe pain on his face made A'dal react from that stunned situation.

More intense panic and panic appeared on the Duke's face, the god of death just passed him by!
Herme didn't stop moving, he drew his second wheel-wheel gun.

He had the confidence to hit this shot. Under the cover of the soldiers, he was very, very close to Adal now, and he was completely confident in blowing the head of that Nilfgaardian bastard.

Another projectile was fired. According to the normal development, this bullet can undoubtedly hit Adal in the head and kill the Duke who is full of villains.

But it was blocked, blocked by a blue shield that suddenly appeared.

I saw a warlock standing in front of A'dal, he held up his staff, and it was that staff that made the blue shield.

"Albrecht, take me away!"

Adal quickly said that he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

And before he finished speaking, the warlock had already opened a portal.

Almost rolling and crawling, A'dal quickly got up, and the warlock immediately followed, and the portal immediately began to shrink crazily.

Herme wanted to throw an Anti-Mogold bomb into it, but when she touched her waist, she found that the bomb that was originally placed was gone at some point.

"Damn it, you deserve death."

Herme wanted to say a lot, but in the end, he could only choke out this sentence.

It was a fall short, and he had come close to killing that Adar Aip Darcy and hanging his head on the spear.

If only the bullet just now was anti-magic gold, then the magic barrier would not be a problem at all.

Herme thought so angrily.

But Herme's depression only lasted for a while. Although Adal ran away, his goal was still achieved.

And even better, that guy was forced to use the portal to escape from the battlefield, so he would not be able to return to the battlefield. It is an unchangeable fact that the commander fled, and the Nilfgaardian must be finished.

Thinking like this, Herme asked his subordinates to push down the banner of Nilfgaard, and the golden sun on a black background fell from the sky like this.

Herme had someone raise her own falcon flag. Seeing the raising of that flag, and the reaction of the Nilfgaardians who noticed what happened here, Herme led everyone here to run.

The goal has been achieved, because if you don't run now, you will either be drowned by deserters later, or surrounded by some angry Nilfgaardian troops.

Everyone understood this, so they quickly left the battle in front of them and fled the battlefield with Herme.
