The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 690: The bad news is an assassin, the good news is a woman!

Kingdom of Redania, Royal City,
In the harsh winter, people are usually a little calmer.
But Radovid V was extremely furious at this moment, because with the fall of Blackwater Castle, there was no fortress left to stop the Zähringen family.
As for the so-called nobles, they would have done a great service to the Redanian royal family if they had promised not to surrender before Zähringen arrived.
Regardless of whether the Zähringen family is from Middle-earth or not, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Kingdom of Redania can no longer hold on.

Smashing the plate in anger, Radovid V roared, "Where is the wizard? Where is my wizard? Did he also abandon the kingdom after the defeat of Blackwater Fortress?"

Looking at the ministers and nobles below, Radovid V only wanted the wizards to kill the damned Count Zähringen.
But obviously, he was wrong. The wizard belonging to the royal family had been beheaded by Zhang Cheng in the Blackwater Fortress.

"Your Majesty, we should now agree to the requests of other kingdoms in exchange for their reinforcements arriving at the battlefield. Otherwise, with the military strength in the city, it will be difficult for us to stop them."

Speaking to Radovid V in front of him, the minister quickly gave reliable advice.
In the Blackwater Fortress, their 20,000 soldiers were defeated, and only less than 2,000 escaped. With this little strength, how could they fight against the Zähringen family?
You know, although the Zellingen family is small in number, they have orcs and terrible weapons.

The artillery fire that could flatten an area of ​​more than ten meters with one explosion was simply the nightmare of the Redanians.

So the key now is to find reinforcements, rather than getting angry here!

Hearing the minister's words, Radovid V roared: "Do you want me to give up my territory in exchange for survival? I am the king!"

Looking at Radovid V, the minister immediately stood up and said: "You can only be king if you defeat the Zähringen family. If you fail, we will have nothing!"

After hearing the minister's words, Radovid V fell silent.

Because it seems to be true!

If he fails, he will go from being a king to a worthless waste!

Thinking of this, Radovid V immediately said: "Order the messenger to tell the other northern countries that I am willing to give up some unimportant territories in exchange for their troops!"

As soon as Radovid V finished speaking, many ministers and nobles agreed.

After all, the lost land was not theirs, and it could also guarantee their own interests, so how could they not agree!
But the nobles did not expect that although Radovid V said this, he was actually thinking about how to use the nobles' land as ceded territory!
The army advanced all the way, and after capturing the Blackwater Fortress, the supplies obviously increased.

However, these things obviously did not suit the taste of the Zellingen family. After all, they were all old grains.

Just imagine, when soldiers go to fight, and you feed them this kind of food, they still fight for you. That must be the great kindness your ancestors have accumulated for you in their previous lives!

The reason why the Zähringen family has always maintained a strong desire to fight is that they can not only obtain spoils from the war, but even some expensive rewards such as gold, silver and jewelry can be obtained through military merit!
As for the aged millet, it was used to feed the orcs. The soldiers of the Zelingen family would never eat this stuff!
"Look at this! How wicked! Feeding this to the soldiers, it would be a wonder if they can still fight!"

Looking at the bag of grain in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Arthur Dane asked doubtfully, "Don't the soldiers down there eat this?"

"Don't every shop have freshly made wheat bread, steak, vegetables, and fish?"

Looking at Arthur Dane suspiciously, Zhang Cheng spoke up.
"Who would give this to a soldier? It's for the nobles!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng unhappily, Arthur Dane finally understood why he was so popular. Because with this treatment, if the soldiers didn't rush forward desperately during the battle, it would be considered that he was slow in shouting!

"My Lord, Geralt is here!"

Walking in quickly from outside, Bard immediately spoke up.

"Geralt, what's the devil hunter doing here? I haven't offered any bounties lately!"

Curious, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but joke,
Because in the territory of the Zellingen family, as long as any monster appears, it will be hit by a round of tiger squat cannon. If you are not dead even after this, then wait for the battleship cannon to come!
Therefore, when living in the Zellingen family, you don’t need to worry about any monsters at all!
"It's nice to see you again, Count!" Geralt bowed and smiled.

Looking at Geralt who had left after the Battle of Lonely Mountain, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm glad to see you too. What's the matter with you? Are you short of money and can't pay the bill at the brothel?"

Joking about Geralt, Zhang Cheng knew him too well: a human pile driver and a professional money-maker!

"No, I came here this time to warn you. Be careful of the Warlock Brotherhood!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Geralt's eyes were full of seriousness.
"They want to kill me?"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he spoke with a smile on his face.

"Your attack on Redania has caused dissatisfaction among the northern nations. The Warlock Brotherhood is likely to take action!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Geralt explained,
Because although the Warlock Brotherhood does not interfere with royal power, they need the "support" of various kingdoms!

What Zhang Cheng did undoubtedly broke the original rules, which was not a good thing for the Warlock Brotherhood!
Hearing Geralt's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I understand! Don't worry, no one can kill me!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng not listening to his advice, Geralt looked helpless.
However, as a demon hunter, he cannot participate in secular wars. This is the rule!

After Geralt left, Zhang Cheng also arranged some vigilance, but he did not add more people, but chose to relax the defense.
He wanted to see how the Warlock Brotherhood would play against him!
After nightfall, the stars hang in the sky.
Sitting in the tent, Zhang Cheng seemed to sense something. He squinted his eyes and smiled.
A woman wearing a blue dress and a necklace appeared from the darkness and looked at Zhang Cheng.

"introduce?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.
"Tissaya de Vries! You are not afraid of me?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Tishaya asked,

"You are the one who should be afraid of me, witch!"

Holding his chin, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but joke,

"The last person who spoke to me in this tone was dead many years ago!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Tishaya slowly stepped forward.

But at this moment, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Then guess, will I die tonight?"

Before Tissaia could finish her words, the space around her seemed to solidify. Looking at the bright red blood in the corner, Tissaia immediately showed an angry expression and asked, "You are also a wizard, and you are a blood magician?"

"You guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no reward. However, since this is our first meeting, I can tell you one thing. As a wizard, you should abandon those weak kings and choose a smarter monarch, like me. Am I right?"

Looking at Tissaya in front of him, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, the Blood Lord, who had been suppressing his breath, slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Dragon? Damn it, no one told me that!"

Seeing the Lord of Blood appear, Tissaia was stunned, because wasn't this a trap? She even delivered it to him!
