The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 323 A crushing defeat

Without the islanders guarding the fence, the Nilfgaardians were not in a hurry to climb up. Instead, they first used axes to chop off the sharpened parts of the wooden stakes inserted at the bottom of the trench.

Although some time was wasted, at least if you accidentally fall, you won't be pierced by the wooden stakes.

Then they began to climb again.

Without the obstruction of the islanders, the Nilfgaardians had a much smoother journey this time.

They climbed over the fence, moved the barricades in the middle of the fence, and found some wooden boards behind the fence, which they placed on the trench, making it easier for subsequent troops to pass through quickly.

The obstacles were cleared, and the Nilfgaardians were like chickens with their blood pumped up. Their faces flushed, and they crossed the trenches and rushed into the fence.

The arrangement behind the fence is particularly strange. I don’t know what the islanders were thinking. The left and right sides are separated by another fence, leaving only an open space in the middle that can only accommodate five people side by side.

In addition, a circle of trenches was dug outside the left and right fences.

The trenches on both sides extended along the fence in the direction of the Nilfgaardians, extending for hundreds of meters before converging into one place.

This is similar to an inverted U-shaped trench, but not as wide as the trench that the Nilfgaardians had climbed with great difficulty before. At most, it is only as wide as a person lying at the bottom of the trench with his hands and feet curled up.

As for the Tursek troops who had been forced back by the archers, they retreated to the other side of the trench before stopping.

They did not continue to flee, and looked like they were prepared to put up a last stand.

But the Nilfgaardians were not at all panicked, instead they laughed heartily.

There was only a ditch between them and the islanders, which could be easily jumped over. How could the islanders have the confidence to dare to confront them head-on...

Led by the sergeant, the Nilfgaardians reorganized their formation and slowly approached the islanders.

At this moment, dozens of soldiers from the Drummond family suddenly crawled out from the trenches on both sides of the fence, each holding an alchemical bomb in his hand.

All the Nilfgaardians squeezed in between the fences on both sides changed color instantly.

"Throw!"

"Madman!" Lugo yelled.

The Drummond soldiers, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, immediately threw the alchemical bombs in their hands into the crowded Nilfgaard army.

boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the earth-shaking explosion, broken limbs and arms flew all over the sky, and blood and flesh fragments fell like rain. The Nilfgaardians, who were so aggressive just now, were wailing in the blink of an eye.

The Nilfgaardian soldiers who were injured by the alchemical bomb but luckily survived were crawling and wailing on the ground.

The open space between the fences was like hell.

Even the people of the islands had never fought such a battle.

However, Earl Thorgil and Kratz were lords after all, and they knew that opportunities for battle were fleeting.

So Earl Thorgil immediately ordered his troops to retreat from both sides.

The Quete troops, which had retreated earlier to rest and had now recovered their strength, moved in between and exchanged positions with the Tursek troops.

In the first row of Quet's troops, Lynn, Gerd, and Kratz were all there.

Kratz did not give the order to counterattack, but instead gave that honor to the witcher.

"Sir Lin, give the order."

Lynn nodded.

He raised the Gulliver in his hand.

The soldiers of the Quiet family all gave a frenzied shout. "Attack!"

Lynn jumped over the trench and pounced on the disorganized Nilfgaardians.

Gerd, Kratz, and other soldiers of the Quet family followed closely behind him.

The situation reversed instantly.

Just now, the Nilfgaardians were ready to wipe out the Skelligers, but now the roles of hunter and prey have changed.

It has to be said that there is a reason why the Nilfgaardian army has been able to sweep across the south in recent decades.

After experiencing the previous round of bombing, heavy casualties, and multiple debuffs of dying wails, there were still a few soldiers who could muster up the courage to face the oncoming Quete troops.

This group of hastily assembled soldiers, who didn't even have time to form a battle formation, rushed forward with full of passion. Naturally, they would not think that they could repel the attack of the islanders by themselves.

But they had already made up their minds and tried to sacrifice themselves to buy their companions time to regroup.

Unfortunately, their brave and fearless actions were doomed to be in vain.

Ged waved his hands and swept the sword across, sending two Nilfgaardian soldiers flying backwards.

Then Lynn passed by him, Gulliverhir turned into a blurry phantom, and a Nilfgaardian soldier fell down holding his neck.

Then he pushed forward with his left hand.

The master-level Alder Seal transformed into a terrifying tornado, directly sweeping the twenty or so armored Nilfgaard soldiers in front of him high into the sky, and then dropping them heavily.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Quet family were greatly encouraged and they chopped down the Nilfgaardian soldiers one after another.

Tursek's troops followed closely behind Quet's troops, while Drummond's troops climbed over the fence and flanked the Nilfgaardian soldiers.

The Nilfgaardian soldiers were forced to retreat continuously. They looked at Lynn, who was in the front, in horror and swung Gulliversir into a whirlwind. No Nilfgaardian could survive even a second in front of him.

The demon hunter, who had drunk a large amount of high-level potions in advance, was like a sophisticated war machine.

Advanced Blizzard provides bullet time, Advanced Thunder increases strength, Advanced Wolf Potion improves agility, Advanced Tawny Owl speeds up the recovery of chaos magic, and Advanced Patrice's Elixir can increase the power of spells.

In addition, fighting in a battlefield is no small matter. As long as you charge in the front, you may get injured. Therefore, Lin En also drank the advanced swallow potion in advance.

Of course, he also gave some of these potions to Gerd.

However, since Gerd's poison resistance was not as good as Lynn's, he only drank the Advanced Thunder, Advanced Blizzard and Advanced Wolf Potion.

Therefore, with Lynn and Gerd as the vanguard, the Nilfgaardian soldiers were terrified.

Faced with these two gods of death and the islanders following closely behind them, no Nilfgaardian could remain calm and composed.

The Nilfgaardians retreated crying, and the Nilfgaardians behind them didn't know what was happening and were forced to retreat as well.

Then the retreat turned into a rout.

In fact, there were only dozens of Nilfgaardian soldiers killed in one go by Linn and Ged. Even if the results of the previous round of alchemical bombing were counted, there were no more than two hundred casualties.

Nearly a thousand Nilfgaardian soldiers had successfully landed, and the number of remaining soldiers still exceeded that of the archipelago.

But the problem is that the islanders' counterattack had extremely terrible consequences for the Nilfgaardians:

That's panic.
