The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 321: Beach Landing (Part )

Even though the Kuit troops were bitten by the Nilfgaardians, they were still able to maintain a tight formation and retreat slowly.

But that was the end of it. There was really no extra wiggle room to dispatch spearmen to fight against the armored cavalry.

Even if there were only twenty riders, this charge was enough to disrupt the formation that the Quet family had worked so hard to maintain.

The Drummond troops on the opposite side obviously realized this and would rather disrupt their formation and let the soldiers rush to support them.

However, judging from the distance between the two sides and the speed of the troops, it was obvious that the Drummond troops were too late to provide rescue.

But at this moment, Kratz heard a reliable voice that reassured him.

"Lord Kratz, the troops continue to withdraw. Leave the cavalry to me."

Lin En, who was in the crowd, killed the approaching Nilfgaardian with a sword, and made a seal gesture with his gloved left hand.

"Yakesi."

The three war horses at the front of the Branden cavalry, who were in high spirits, suddenly seemed to have a brain crash and stumbled at the same time.

Since the front and wings of Quet's troops were besieged by Nilfgaard's infantry, the Branden cavalry did not adopt a wall charge, but a wedge charge formation.

The result was that when the three cavalrymen who served as the spearhead fell, it triggered a chain reaction, and the cavalrymen following behind were tripped one after another, and the formation was disrupted in an instant.

Even if the remaining few cavalry were not involved because they were on both sides of the wedge formation, it would be impossible for them to launch another charge.

The morale of Quet's troops and the Drummond troops who came to support them was greatly boosted, while the morale of the Nilfgaardians dropped.

"It's magic."

"There's a warlock among the enemies?"

Exclamations rang out one after another, and the Nilfgaardians besieging Kuit's troops hesitated, and the offensive was no longer as continuous as before.

Count Tullius, who was on the deck of the flagship in the distance, couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw this scene.

"Did the druid take action?"

Count Tullius is knowledgeable and his perspective and knowledge are naturally different from those of ordinary soldiers.

He knew that the major families in the archipelago did not have warlocks to assist them, but druids instead.

Moreover, the druids of the archipelago are different from the warlocks of the northern kingdoms.

Although the sorcerers of the northern countries held important positions in the courts of their respective countries, they were not subordinates of the king and would not obey all of the king's orders.

In particular, they would refuse orders to participate in war.

However, druids will intervene in wars between the archipelago and foreign enemies when necessary.

This is the difference.

Count Tullius did not consider the direction of witchers, because most witchers were active in the north, and the Viper School, the only one with its headquarters in the south, was a Muggle who could not cast signs.

Even the usurper emperor sent troops to destroy the Viper School's headquarters because he thought that witchers were only good at assassination.

Of course, there's no way of knowing, but in fact, demon hunters also have the ability to cast spells.

Besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't believe that it was the witcher who caused all this.

Because being able to release sigils targeting three targets at the same time is completely beyond the capabilities of most demon hunters.

Lynn stopped the cavalry from blocking the way, and Quete's troops finally successfully joined up with Drummond's troops.

The Drummond troops split into two groups and went around the two flanks of the Quete troops, continuing to fight the Nilfgaardians on their behalf. The exhausted Quete troops passed through the middle of the Drummond troops and retreated into the fence first.

The archers who retreated back behind the fence first climbed up the arrow tower behind the fence and spread death to the rear of Nilfgaard's army.

Lynn, who retreated with the Kuit troops, also climbed up an arrow tower, took out the Covil longbow from the magic pattern leather bag, and unleashed a rain of arrows.

His shooting speed was much faster than that of ordinary archers. Often, when others had only shot one arrow, he had already shot several arrows, and his accuracy was so terrifying that he could always penetrate shields and armor, causing maximum damage to the Nilfgaardians.

However, he did not deliberately seek to kill the enemy with one blow. If he failed to kill the enemy with one arrow, he would not kill him again.

This is certainly not because he is soft-hearted or unable to do it, but because the screams of the enemy's wounded can weaken the enemy's morale.

If the enemy sends someone to drag the wounded away, that would be even better. One wounded soldier at least ties up a few more enemy manpower.

"Ternasi!"

Berger was shocked and looked at his companion lying on the ground with an arrow in his neck and a blank look in his eyes, obviously dead.

Although only people from the capital city of the Golden Tower can hold important positions in the army, the empire has never forgotten to give some priority to people from the provinces.

For example, when a baby is needed to fill the line, the empire will give priority to people from the provinces.

However, in order to prevent mutiny, the provincial conscripts were usually disrupted.

Berger and Turner, who grew up together, were lucky enough to serve in the same unit.

But now, his childhood playmate collapsed to the ground like mud, leaving Berger with a blank mind. He couldn't believe that he had died in a foreign country.

"Berger, you filthy, lowly provincial! Don't bring shame to the Nilfgaardian army! Charge!"

Berger was finally awakened by the shouts of others beside him.

Having passed the recruit training, he knew very well that the Nilfgaardian army had strict military discipline. If he continued to stay where he was or showed even the slightest sign of desertion, not only would he be executed, but his relatives far away in the south would also be implicated.

Thinking of this, Berger shouted and followed the others, rushing towards the enemy ahead.

……

With the support of Drummond's troops, Quet's troops finally retreated behind the fence to reorganize and rest, and then Drummond's troops also began to retreat.

"Madman" Lugo personally led a dozen elite soldiers to cover the rear, allowing most of the soldiers of the Drummond family to pass through the wooden boards set up on the trench in front of the fence first.

Finally, all the other wooden boards were removed, leaving only one board.

Gede took out two bombs tied together from his waist, the Advanced Dancing Star and Advanced Dragon Dream bombs that Lin En had given him in advance.

Dragon's Dream will leak gas, and the flames produced when the Dancing Star explodes can both ignite the gas and fuel the fire.

Ged killed the Nilfgaard soldier closest to him with one sword, and then threw it with all his might towards the area where the enemy soldiers were most concentrated.

The next moment, the erupting flames instantly engulfed the figures of dozens of Nilfgaardian soldiers around them.

The screams and miserable scenes were terrifying.

Ged gathered his strength and killed several more enemy soldiers. While the nearby enemies were stunned, he shouted to the "madman" Lugo.

"Now, Lord Lugo, go!"

"Madman" Lugo did not dare to delay and hurriedly led the remaining subordinates across the only wooden plank.
