Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 319
On the cold weapon battlefield, the gap in individual combat capabilities and troop numbers is very obvious.

A knight with strong martial arts skills and wearing plate armor can even defeat a dozen unarmored soldiers, while a well-trained heavy cavalry can often easily defeat an infantry army of tens of thousands of people.

This not only represents an advanced industrial base that can produce a large number of armors and weapons, and domesticate war horses, but also requires considerable financial resources to support such a large number of professional soldiers and low-level officers.

In recent decades, the Nilfgaardian Empire has used its military strength to annex several surrounding countries and become a military empire with outstanding military achievements.

By plundering the wealth of other countries, raising slaves, and promoting military nobles, this southern country not only has a military power that far exceeds that of the north, but also enters a rapid development path in commerce and industry, showing signs of the emergence of capitalism. .

Continuous war dividends allowed the usurper emperor in the south to gradually build Nilfgaard into a powerful empire where politics and religion were integrated, and the people were highly obedient to the imperial authority.

The people at the bottom are proud of military merit, eager to gain glory and wealth on the battlefield, and be promoted to military nobles, and are not afraid of war.

Although this expedition to the north came in a hurry, it did not affect the Nilfgaardians' enthusiasm and desire to conquer the north.

Another half month passed quickly, and when Wayne returned to Cintra after completing his trip to Arethusa Academy, he unexpectedly heard from Sianna the news of the disastrous defeat of the Kingdom of Aedirn army.

The speed of Nilfgaard's black army was astonishing, and they defeated the local Aedian army almost everywhere they went. In less than a month, more than [-]% of the Aedian Kingdom had been occupied, and half of the land was occupied. The above cities fell into the hands of the black army.

This made Demavi so anxious that he no longer cared about the Kovind territory he had just occupied. While desperately asking for help from other countries in the north, he reorganized the army non-stop.

Finally, he returned to Vengerburg, the capital of the Kingdom of Aden, before Nilfgaard's black army. Without any rest, he commanded the soldiers and people overnight to build a large number of fortifications outside the city of Vengerburg. Barely blocking the movement speed of the man in black.

However, compared with the strength of the Kingdom of Aden and the Nilfgaard Empire, the gap is too huge. Even if the equipment and combat literacy of the soldiers are put aside, in terms of numbers alone, the number of Nilfgaard's black troops is More than four times the army of Aedirn.

In the age of cold weapons, unless the enemy commander is an idiot, this numerical gap is already impossible to overcome.

As for reinforcements, unless the other kings in the north are noble, selfless and kind-hearted people, after receiving the message asking for help, they will immediately organize their troops with all their strength and rush to the rescue non-stop.

Moreover, Demavi can persist in Vengerberg for more than a month. Otherwise, the so-called reinforcements are just a fantasy, and it is impossible to arrive so quickly.

However, this news is not worth paying too much attention to Wayne. As far as he is concerned, he and his Demon Hunter Order are still neutral for the time being in the Civil War and have not decided which side to support.

After all, most of the northern countries are bastards and bastards, barbaric and greedy, and the Nilfgaardians in the south are not as civilized and advanced as they advertise.

This southern empire promoted slavery and had a large number of slave-catching groups, turning civilians from defeated countries into slaves and providing them with cheap labor.

Perhaps the world has only seen the power of Nilfgaard, but Wayne knows very well that beneath this seemingly prosperous country, buried are the bones of countless slaves.

If it were a comparison of badness, although the two sides could not be said to be evenly matched, they could be said to be equally matched.

Unless there is a last resort, the Witcher Order will not foolishly take sides like the Warlock Brotherhood and then, after being used, be treated as a fat sheep on the chopping block, allowed to be bullied, and finally disappear from history. in the long river.

After returning to Cintra, Wayne learned from the King of East.

Princess Pavetta's delivery went smoothly. Under the careful care of Archdruid Mossak, the baby girl with the blood of the ancients was born.

And poor Princess Pavetta, after having part of her memory sealed, completely forgot that she was kidnapped and forced to give birth. After losing the ancient blood in her body, she can finally be a carefree woman. The princess no longer needs to be involved in those dangerous and complicated extraordinary worlds.

Queen Calanthe seemed to be quite disgusted with the newborn baby girl. She did not come forward to communicate with Wayne. She just sent Chief Hackathon to secretly deliver the infant baby under the cover of night and sent it to Wayne. In the luxurious hotel where En lives.

The child was not given a name, and it seemed that she was just regarded as a burden.

After all, according to everyone's speculation, the biological father of this baby girl is most likely Wrigley Fortz, who was defeated by Wayne and escaped.

Although according to Archdruid Mossak's speculation, the child in Princess Pavetta's belly was not conceived through primitive reproduction, but the effect of a magic ritual.

But when I think about the dirty blood in this child, it is indeed a shame that the Cintra royal family wants to be buried.

Speaking of Wigefortz, this guy has been having a hard time lately.

Although Queen Calanthe did not give all the inside information about the princess kidnapping, she was forced by the pressure from the two kingdoms of Cintra and Skellig.

After Wilgefortz himself was summoned many times and was unable to come forward to defend himself, the Warlock Brotherhood finally kicked him out of their own organization and issued a wanted order for him throughout the North. Strictly prohibiting other warlocks from cooperating with it, it can be regarded as cutting off Vilgefortz's power in the north to a large extent.

However, compared to the meager bounty of the Warlock Brotherhood, the 100 million gold coin bounty issued by the Wayne Chamber of Commerce in the entire north detonated the entire northern continent almost in an instant.

No matter whether they were nobles or commoners, whether they were farmers in the village or beggars in the city, they were all stunned by the sky-high price of the bounty.

With the two kingdoms of Cintra and Skellige guaranteeing the bounty, most people did not doubt the authenticity of the bounty. Almost all mercenaries and gang members began to pay attention to this matter, even many Nobles could not resist the temptation of money and got involved.

In less than a month, Wilgefortz's fame even surpassed that of the kings of many countries, and he became the subject of discussion among people throughout the north.

Countless people imagine that they can catch this wanted criminal, obtain the sky-high reward of 100 million gold coins, reach the pinnacle of life, and live a luxurious life like a king.

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of northerners began to search for Wilgefortz, driven by the bounty.

And the news of this bounty was quickly spread from the northern continent to the southern kingdom through the propaganda of those travelers and businessmen, and like a depth bomb, it was quickly detonated in all human countries.
