Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 40
Outside the city of Cheveny, Herme's cavalry rushed into the Ratman's shack smoothly.

The Ratmen were not prepared for the appearance of the cavalry, and the shock of the sudden appearance of the cavalry made them crumble without any resistance.

Because if you run too slowly, you will become a corpse or meat paste under the horse's hooves.

It just escaped the galloping cavalry, and the chariots cleaned them up. The rotating blades on the wheels were enough to cut each ratman in half.

Such a scene is a bit bloody, but the effect is really easy to use.

The cavalry carried torches, and they threw them directly into the huts.

And the shack filled with all kinds of inflammables immediately burned, and the flames continued to spread, creating more panic.

The cavalry and chariots quickly spread out on the roads extending in all directions of the Ratman camp, in small groups, and even cavalry and chariots with only one or two cavalry were everywhere.

The Ratmen were taken aback, because there were enemies everywhere, which made many Ratmen confused, and they didn't know where the enemies were coming from.

But these attackers are still too small compared to the total number of Ratmen, and when the Ratman army reacts, they still have only one way to perish.

However, the chaos created by the burning of the shack was far from enough, not enough at all. The ratman often caused no less chaos than this.

Next, the Ratman did react, and started a counterattack under the command of the giant Ratman.

Obviously, these giant ratmen are the command nodes of the ratman society, and the ratman army obviously cannot do without them.

Under the command and order, the Ratmen dragged the cavalry who had slowed down for various reasons from their horses and killed them, and with the cooperation of the Ratmen, several chariots were overturned.

And those who met a giant rat man, they could only consider themselves unlucky if they encountered that thing.

These monsters are not afraid of the impact of the cavalry, but fortunately there are not many of them, so they cannot cause too many casualties to humans.

So for cavalry and chariots, the current scene can be said to be extremely exciting. The ratmen are running around in front of themselves, but if they slow down, the ratmen around them who they regard as things to die will He rushed forward and tore himself to shreds.

However, Herme had long thought of the lack of deterrence caused by the lack of cavalry.

For this reason, he sent those chariots. These chariots were not sent for rat-crashing, so there was no need for these things at all.

On top of these carriages, there is a big gift bag specially prepared by Hemei for the Ratmen.

"Put down the door! Push the powder keg down!"

The driver of the carriage roared, and the Cossacks on the carriage who were shooting arrows also hurriedly got busy. They lit the fuse on the gunpowder barrel, and then kicked the gunpowder barrel out.

"Boom!"

Then there was a shocking explosion, and the gunpowder barrel fell among the rats behind the chariot.

Often, several mice that were too late to escape were crushed to death first, and then an explosion occurred, blowing the mice to the sky.

This explosion was like the beginning, and then the explosions sounded one after another, crackling like firecrackers being ignited.

The impact this had on the Ratmen was terrifying. Since the chariots ran all over the camp, and some chariots even rushed into the main force of the Ratmen who were attacking the city, explosions were everywhere.

As the owner of Fort Sazar, the amount of gunpowder in Herme's hand is extremely terrifying.

On this side of the blue mountain, only his family can use gunpowder so boldly.

This frightened the Rat Man so that his gallbladder exploded, explosions everywhere, and death everywhere.

Although the Ratmen were familiar with the explosion of gunpowder, it was just the sound of the Huomen gun shooting, which could not be compared with the powder kegs here.

Rats are not very courageous in the first place, they are very afraid of all kinds of loud noises, so the impact of such a wave is self-evident.

Many ratmen began to emit a hormone, which is emitted by ratmen when they are extremely panicked. These explosions are naturally what frightened them out of their wits.

Some ratmen began to flee the battlefield on their own. No matter how the giant ratmen screamed and threatened them, they couldn't get them back to the battlefield. It can be said that the nature of the ratmen was completely revealed.

It wasn't until the giant ratmen started tearing apart the deserters frantically among the ratmen that the ratmen stopped fleeing, but the situation was still in dire straits.

Just because the Ratmen were deterred by those bloody killings, it didn't mean that they had regained their fighting spirit. If there was something more, they might collapse again.

After completing all this, the cavalry and chariots also returned to the place where they started. This was the plan that had been laid out from the beginning, and Herme's main force was coming.

"One, three, five... Well, it's still within the acceptable range, and the casualties are not too great."

Looking at the returning cavalry and chariots, Herme nodded in satisfaction. The loss was less than ten, which is pretty good.

"The next step is to crush these ratmen and blow the horn! Let the soldiers charge up!"

Hearing the order, Viato, the servant next to Herme, quickly put the horn near his mouth, and then blew the horn desperately with such force that his lungs would explode.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

The melodious horn sounded again, issuing an unquestionable order to the people, ordering them to attack and completely eliminate these rats.

.

"Dandrian, if you don't want to die, just follow me! Stand behind me!"

Under the horn, all the soldiers began to charge, including the demon hunters and poetry masters of the Manticore school.

"it is good!"

Dandelion followed, he was still wearing that flamboyant purple dress.

He even had a flamboyant red cloak, but under Iben's persuasion, he took off that thing, the cloak was too easy for the enemy to catch in the chaotic war.

Underneath this suit was chain mail, and in his hand was a beautiful two-handed sword.

There was an imperceptible tremor in the master's tone, and his body trembled a little.

Although he usually wrote many poems about war, he was terrified to be on the battlefield for the first time.

But he was well hidden, at least no one could see it except the witcher.

This battle can only be successful but not unsuccessful, so Herme put all his troops on the battlefield, and all volunteers and military servants were also ordered to take up arms and join the battle.

Therefore, our master Dan stood in the battle line and joined the impact as a big soldier.

However, he is still special compared to other chief soldiers, because the others are not protected by a witcher.

In fact, if Dandelion went to look for Herme, it would be very simple for them not to join the battle. As poets, they already had such privileges, let alone masters like Dandelion.

But Hemei "knows" Master Dan well, but Master Dan doesn't know him, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he won't just go to find Hermi like this, so Dandelion is still standing on the battlefield.

And if our master Dandelion wants to maintain his own personality, if he shrinks back and does not go to the battlefield, then he will go bankrupt if he brags so much with his comrades.

He bragged a lot in the army, and many of his fellow volunteers thought he was really a powerful fighter and admired him even more.

In addition, Dandelion hopes to help his friend Geralt from the bottom of his heart.

So although he was afraid and terrified, he still stood here firmly to face those Ratmen who bared their teeth and claws.

Dandelion blended in with the rushing crowd, advancing with the crowd.

He closely followed the back of the demon hunter, surrounded by the heavily armed militiamen and Cossacks of Fort Sazar. As for the equipment of volunteers like him, there were all kinds of equipment.

Over the years, Dandelion has been able to solve many problems with Geralt, so it must be right to stick to the witcher.

Soon, the battering infantry came in front of the ratmen, the sound of war resounded throughout the world, and the humans mercilessly smashed their swords into the bodies of these monsters.

After that moment, the two sides got mixed up.

Ratmen have always bowed their bodies, and their movements are flexible, so they can easily jump into the human battle line.

This is exactly the Ratman's strategy. On the one hand, large forces must advance, and on the other hand, small teams may also engage in melee.

The Ratmen have sufficient troops, and the combination of these two moves can deal a big blow to humans.

This is a tactic they have summed up in their raids all over the Ward, and it is always useful when using such tactics to deal with those unorganized Cossacks.

However, now that the Ratman was the one being attacked, the situation was completely different.

Eben's powerful skill of the witcher was manifested, and he wielded the silver scimitar like a flower.

When encountering Silver's blade, the Ratmen kept falling down, their skins were like butter under a butter knife in front of Silver.

Ibn's shield was also used by him like a flower, constantly smashing the rat man's head.

Dandelion followed closely behind Yiben, and he also slashed hard with his sword, but unfortunately most of them didn't do anything to the rat man.

He spent a lot of effort to chop off the head of a rat man, and when he was happy, he was almost attacked by the rat man, but it was Eben who solved the sneak attacking mouse.

Most of the time, Dandelion still relies on Eben to save the game, he is like a burden to the witcher.

However, he still used that great sword quite a lot, but that sword was quickly shattered in the slashing of the Rat Man.

"Dandrien, where did you get that sword in your hand, it's too weak."

After using an Alder sign to blow away the Ratman in front of him, a group of warriors in blue robes and holding maces rushed up. They were Cliff's ascetic monks.

That allowed Eben to breathe, and then he spat out about Dandelion's sword.

Anyway, after killing a few ratmen, the sword was broken, it was too... what a bad sword.

"I bought this sword from a traveling merchant. The guy said it was the sword of a Nilfgaardian general. I checked it and found no problem at the time. I even bargained for a long time for it. See For the sake of the plague, I didn't expect this thing to be so watery, damn it."

Dandelion's tone was full of annoyance, no one would be happy in such a situation.

Now it's on the battlefield, this weapon is so unreliable, damn it.

"I must go to the businessman who sold me such a thing, bastard, I just can't find him, and I also want to write poetry to expose his evil deeds."

Judging by Dandelion's angry look, it seems that he really spent a lot of money.

Eben also understands this very well. If he encounters such a situation, he will feel very bad.

And he remembered something that Geralt told them, something that he and Dan Deenli had experienced before.

That time Gero accidentally lost his sword, Dandelion went to get a replacement, but this sword was not durable at all, it was just a beautiful looking product.

Looks like Dandelion hasn't learned that lesson at all.

"Don't complain. Since such a liar dares to deceive people like this, he probably won't use his own name. Now that we are on the battlefield, use my sword first, which is much more reliable than yours."

Eben pulled out his other sword, but luckily he still carried it around his waist. It was a steel sword belonging to a demon hunter, a steel scimitar, and handed it to Dan Deenli.

Dandelion held the sword with novelty written all over his face. Although he had seen Geralt's sword a lot before, this was the first time he had seen a scimitar-shaped steel sword.

And holding the scimitar in his hand, Dandelion immediately felt the quality of the sword, and even a layman could immediately feel the quality of some things.

While Dandelion was still looking at the scimitar, a thunderbolt suddenly struck the crowd of rats, blowing many ratmen into the air.

This scene made the morale of the human soldiers more vigorous, and they attacked more violently. Everyone wanted to kill more ratmen.

"Okay, Dandelion, follow me, see that big guy? That's our goal!"

Following Eben's words, Dandelion saw a giant rat man who was tearing people into pieces. The blood was all over the stitched monster, making it extremely terrifying.

"what?"

Dandelion let out a wail, and Iben didn't care about him so much, he had already rushed up.

Dandelion could only be heartbroken, and then he drew his sword and rushed up to face the huge monster.

At the same time, he kept swearing in his heart, damn it, after I go back, I must write this incident into poetry and brag about myself.

.

If we look from the sky, we will find that under the human offensive, the collapse of the rat people is getting worse.

Originally, they were terrified by the pile of explosions, and they were terribly frightened, and now they are still facing the attack of the human army.

And it wasn't in the same direction, even Cheveney opened the city gates to kill them!
The Ratmen were even more terrified of Chevini, because the three "Killing Gods" rushed to the front.

During Cheveny's offense and defense, the performance of the three demon hunters was so outstanding that the Ratmen almost ran away when they saw them.

With the three demon hunters as spearheads, the counterattack defenders easily defeated the ratmen in front of them. The brave ratmen died under the sword of the demon hunters, while the cowardly ratmen fled from the beginning.

These three demon hunters no longer have any bombs or potions. These consumables have been completely used up, but the silver sword and the seal are enough to deal with the current situation!

.

Geralt easily tore apart the ratmen in front of him. In front of Baiyin, these creatures were so powerless.

Up to now, the battle has completely turned into a pursuit of humans against ratmen.

Only a small number of Ratmen are still stubbornly resisting, but one can see that it is only a matter of time before those Ratmen fall.

"Victory, victory is finally coming."

Geralt felt relieved, it was sweet to enjoy the victory after such a defensive battle that went from bad to worse.

His other two companions were still fighting ahead to deal with the giant rat man, preferably a demon hunter.

But Geralt didn't want to continue anymore. He was really tired. He had killed more monsters in this battle than he had in his entire life.

But then Geralt heard a voice, a voice he couldn't believe appeared here.

"Ha, Geralt, you are here. I found you. How about it? Are you moved? I, Dandelion, the great poet of the north and the nemesis of the Ratman, came here to save you in person."

It's still the figure of the flirtatious guy, with the same frivolous voice, but there's a lot of blood from the Ratman on his clothes, and he's holding a machete in his hand that's pretty good just by looking at it.

"Dandrian? Why are you here?"

Geralt's tone was full of astonishment, Dandry going to the battlefield?He is really unimaginable, but he is standing here now.

"I heard that you were in trouble, so I came to rescue you. Just like before, you don't know how many ratmen's heads I cut off along the way."

Dandelion's tone is like the hero in his poetry, his face is full of pride.

After all, at this time, you can't say that you are struggling or even crawling around on the battlefield.

Dandelion's battle experience... is to fish after Iben, and then chop off the heads of a few ratmen that were missed by the witcher.

After the Skaven's total breakdown, he said goodbye to Eben and went to his old friend Geralt.

After saying this, Dandelion hung the scimitar on his waist, and then gave Geralt a warm hug.

"But anyway, it's good to see you, Geralt."

"Me too, good friend."

The two hugged like this, not caring about the dirt on their bodies, and then they found a ratman corpse to sit on the dirty battlefield, discussing the experience along the way, just like usual.

Dandelion said that he has already thought of a new song, which is based on the bard Dandelion rescuing Geralt.

Normally, when he heard Dandelion's style of writing here again, Geralt would definitely say something weird, but now, he just smiled.

.

Such friendship-filled meetings didn't just happen between Geralt and Dandelion.

On the other side, it happened with the leaders of the two armies.

"Volod, good friend, I'm glad you're all right."

As soon as he came up, Herme gave Volod a warm hug, and Volod responded enthusiastically.

"Ah, Herme, you came at a really good time. We happened to be short of food. If you were a few days late, we would really be doomed."

Volod's tone was full of gratitude, he was grateful to Herme for his rescue, and also grateful to himself for forming such a reliable and good friend.

The two then looked at the battlefield at the same time, where the last giant rat man was overturned by humans, and the defeat of the rat man had become a foregone conclusion.

Now there are corpses all over the battlefield, most of them are left by the Ratmen. Seeing this scene, Herme smiled,
"My old friend, it looks like it's going to take a while to get rid of that many rat carcasses."

Hemei just glanced at it, and judged that there might be thousands of ratman corpses here, and it would take a long time to burn them.

"It's a pity that there are no animals to eat them. Trouble, it would be nice if cats were also enlarged like these mice, hahaha."

"At that time, I'm afraid we will have to deal with new troubles. Such a big cat will have to deal with a lot of things."

The two were clearly in a relaxed mood and joked with each other.

"But don't worry about these things for now, Herme, come in, we are going to hold a grand banquet today to celebrate this victory, and if there is anything else, let's settle it after the celebration!"

Volod enthusiastically took Herme's arm and walked into the city, and Herme did not refuse. After going through so many battles, it's time to relax.
