From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Since Novigrad's return, of the Snake Sect demon hunters, only Colgrim was with Lane, while Lesso, Oakes, and Serritt, the leader of the school, stayed in Sintra.

The Demon Hunter Order will be rebuilt in Sintra, and the Snake School is the first to join Lane's camp. It would be foolish for Leto not to take advantage of this advantage to revitalize the Snake School to the greatest extent.

You must know that in history, Lei Suo can be said to be the most active demon hunter among the various schools to seek the revival of the school. For this reason, he even accepted the employment of Emperor Emhyr for a time, and assassinated King Demavi III of Aedirn and King Fulteste of Temeria.

At this moment, Lei Suo looked at Sintra, which was in a state of waste, and at a group of Sintra citizens who had an innate affection for demon hunters because of Lane's existence. He realized that this might be the best chance for the demon hunter group to turn around since the birth of the demon hunter.

As the leader of the Snake School, he wants to participate in the process of revival of this country.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time that the Snake School of Demon Hunters had changed jobs. After counting his own strength and specialties, Lesso decisively reported the idea of ​​forming a guerrilla team to Mossak and Wisekid, and received strong support.

At the beginning, the guerrilla team was still small, with Lei Suo himself as the commander, Oakes and Serritt as the sub-captains, and each demon hunter only led a team of about a hundred people; The number of people gradually expanded to the scale of thousands of people.

Normally, the guerrillas are divided into various units to fight, mainly attacking and killing the food transportation teams of various logistics in Nilfgaard, or intercepting and killing patrols and reconnaissance teams; Guerrilla units can also gather together to organize battles.

Strangely enough, the army group stationed in Sintra did not have the vigor of Nilfgaard in the past to conquer the south and march to the north. Lesso and the others fought very smoothly.

Especially after Skellige's fleet arrived and opened up the waterway, the mobility of Lei Suo and others became stronger.

After a period of time, Nilfgaard no longer had small troops stationed outside, and they all gathered in battalions and divisions in several large towns and fortresses.

Lesso confronted them because of this.

Until now, Lann returned, bringing back another force, and at the same time issued an order for all-out war.

Colgrim and Geralt also joined the guerrillas, and Kevier's mercenaries also largely supplemented the source of troops, which allowed Letho to relax.

Resso and the others are currently in Hauchebuz, which is located in the north-central part of Sintra, and is the granary of the Nilfgaardian army. It's just that with Sintra's counterattack, this granary is already too close to the front line, and coupled with harassment from time to time, it is planning a strategic shift recently.

In order to prevent the grain transport team from being attacked, Duke Werther sent a force to the front line, temporarily restraining the forces of Sintra and Skellige, and at the same time dispersed the reconnaissance force regardless of losses to prevent infiltration by the enemy.

In the end, the Western Group Army sent another 5,000 people to join Haochebuzi to supplement the guard force of the food team, which was considered safe.

Under such circumstances, only the guerrillas could penetrate the vicinity.

And even if the guerrillas were all led by demon hunters, and even Yennefer left the town and manor to help out for Geralt's sake, it was still difficult for the guerrillas to deal with enemies that were several times their size.

Therefore, they need to use clever methods to achieve their combat goals.

Fortunately, the Western Group Army does not seem to have the help of Warlock troops, otherwise Lei Suo and the others can only continue to hide in the jungle.

...

Geralt went through the battle plan again in his mind, and suddenly became curious: "What kind of poison did Colgrim poison the Nilfgaardians? He poisoned the upper water source, and Lan asked not to destroy Sinte Ra’s ecology. In order to poison as many Nilfgaardians as possible, it took so many days to use slow poison.”

"And how did you judge the depth of poisoning just now from their faces, the effect of the medicine accumulated before really broke out in one breath tonight?"

Lei Suo lowered his head and organized his words: "The Snake School has been researching alchemy poisons for hundreds of years, and they can always find something that can be used in the corresponding occasion. But with the financial support of Lann, this medicine is used by nearly 10,000 people... …It just can’t provide the Snake Pie in its heyday.”

"Strictly speaking, this is not poison, but a special herbal medicine that can temporarily incapacitate people. Potent poisons are generally very volatile, and it is difficult to engulf so many enemies at once. "

"Herbology is very complicated... If you want to learn it, we can talk about it later, anyway, we will all be in the same sect in the future."

After answering Geralt's question, Leto turned to Yennefer again.

"Can you use magic to change the weather tonight? I hope it will be darker for raids."

The female sorceress was not as easy-talking as the white wolf, and she gave the snake demon hunter a supercilious look: "I am a warlock, not a druid."

Lei Suo was bored, and looked up at the sun that had already set and the dense clouds in the sky.

"Forget it... it's enough."

"White Wolf, go back and bring your own team, and get in touch with Lambert. After tonight, the situation in Sintra will be rewritten because of us."

——

Howchebz, Nilfgaardian Barracks.

Major Moepka counted battalion figures in the quartermaster's report.

After a long time, he let out a long breath.

"You've done a good job. Continue to strengthen your vigilance tonight, and don't relax for a moment until you reach Ortagar Fortress."

Major Mopuka was the commander of the reinforcements sent by the Duke of Witte. He immediately took over the command of the logistics force after his arrival.

Even though he knew that Duke Witte had made a big inclination in frontline tactics in order to protect the logistics team, attracting the attention of most of the enemy troops, but he still didn't dare to relax.

There was once a battle that was widely circulated in Sintra in Haochebuz, one of Queen Calanthe's famous battles. More than 3,000 soldiers were buried here, which was not a small number for Sintra at the time.

For the people of Sintra, this is a place that represents "victory", even a little bit of faith.

If it was a year ago, Major Mopuka would only sneer at this, but he has been stationed in Sintra for more than a year. Chebutz only felt that he needed to be careful everywhere.

"The sun is above."

Major Mopuka thought silently.

However, the sun had already set, and it was difficult for the transport troops to travel at night, so they could only light the torches again.

As if taking the light of the flames as the sun, Duke Werther stared at the fire for a long time in a daze.

Suddenly, he felt that the flame seemed to form a vortex, constantly attracting and devouring his nerves. The high temperature scorched his brain through the air, making every nerve weak. It was like drinking a night of fine wine at a banquet, and the whole person began to become in a trance.

"wrong!"

Major Mopuka's superb tactical skills woke him up suddenly. He looked at the guards around him. Obviously, these people had rested during the day to change shifts, but at the moment, all of them were walking in a vain manner, as if they hadn't closed their eyes for three days.

This is a situation that hasn't happened in the past few days, but tonight, just like myself, they all have this situation!

"All alert!"

Without thinking too much at all, Major Moepka just opened his voice and yelled reflexively.

However, at the same moment, a shrill sound came from the edge of the camp accompanied by the sound of horns.

"—Enemy—attack!"

...

On the edge of the camp, at the border with the forest, suddenly a pair of amber eyes lit up in the darkness, as if the long-awaited predator had finally waited for the opportunity.

Another string of shadows moved from behind the amber eyes, and they were out of the forest in an instant.

At this moment, the guard posts on the edge of Nilfgaard are crumbling, and it is even impossible to see who are the people who come in the dark night, and whether there are people.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

It wasn't until the first wave of arrow rain approached that the severe pain barely brought back the black-clothed army's consciousness. They used their almost sore arms to draw back the bowstring and fight back, while shouting to remind the camp.

"It's the Sintra Guerrillas!"

Then their voices were forced back into their throats by the arrow.

Immediately afterwards, the vertical pupil, which had almost become the nightmare of the Western Group Army, drew an amber trajectory in midair, quickly approaching them.

【Quin Seal】

First brushed a layer of magic defense on himself, and Lambert rushed into the enemy's field of vision first.

The bow and arrow flew crookedly towards him from the depths of the Nilfgaard camp, weak and weak, and he didn't receive any decent attack after he rushed into the enemy camp.

"The sun is up!"

Seeing that Lambert had rushed forward, a black-clothed army immediately approached him with a spear. They were obviously one inch long and one inch stronger, but these soldiers were running crookedly at the moment. Lambert easily blocked the enemy's attack with the wolf's head steel sword, and rushed to the enemy's approach with a few steps.

"It's night now, your sun can't shine on you."

Lambert smiled grimly: "But I can."

Raising his hand, the white light was shining brightly, and the ether element penetrated into the opponent's brain without reservation.

【Axie Fayin·Puppeteer】

The sign strengthened by Kaer Morhen's Ring of Elements instantly restored some of the crooked Nilfgaardian's strength, and then decisively turned around under the effect of hypnosis and rushed into their own camp with a spear. All of a sudden, the Nilfgaardians were in a hurry, and several people were killed by their comrades in a panic.

Although the Nilfgaardians quickly realized that they would kill the poor soldier who had been hypnotized, all the attention around the sentry post had been attracted by Lambert and his hypnotized soldier.

The hundreds of guerrillas led by Lambert took this opportunity to successfully break through the line of defense. Instead of swinging their swords to kill or continuing to rush inward, they took out alchemy bombs and threw them around.

Immediately there was the sound of "booming" explosions. Flames continued to explode in the darkness, and then a large number of tents were lit.

Naturally, screams are indispensable. In terms of group killing, this is much better than any sword.

"Excellent!" Seeing so many alchemy bombs exploding together, the demon hunter, who had been living a tight life, felt inexplicably happy.

If you want to use these hundreds of people to achieve results, if you don't want to waste your life, you can only burn it with money. Fortunately, Lan En's family background obtained from Master Mirror is really solid.

"I suddenly understand snake pie and cat pie a little bit." Lambert couldn't help muttering to himself, "This is indeed much more interesting than hunting demons..."

It's just that although this attack was massive, the casualties in the total attack were only at the level of a hundred people, maybe less than that. For a camp of ten thousand people, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, Lambert himself did not come with the purpose of killing, and his mission has been completed.

Sensing that there were already a steady stream of Nilfgaardians nearby being attracted by his movement, and the tents of the Chinese army had also noticed the existence here, Lambert decisively gathered the guerrillas.

"withdraw!"

Run away! There was no chance for the Nilfgaardians to react at all!

...

"How many enemies are there, and from which direction are they coming?"

At a critical moment, Major Mopuka was also a ruthless person. He knew that if he failed to keep the logistics troops, he would definitely die, even if he fled back to Nilfgaard.

He retracted the short sword into its scabbard, and a gurgle of blood flowed down his arm, forcing some strength out of him.

At the same time, Mopuka was still shouting to the side: "Where is the quartermaster? Tell him to take out both the detoxification and refreshing herbs! No matter what kind it is, send it first!"

The loud roar even made Mopuka short of oxygen, and almost fell to the ground under a burst of dizziness.

Fortunately, at this time, a messenger came over and reported to him:

"Major, the enemy is the guerrillas of Sintra, they are everywhere..."

"What do you mean everywhere! In which directions? Are we surrounded? How many guerrillas are there? Why do they surround us?!"

The messenger scolded his head and covered his face, and quickly regained his composure to reorganize his words:

"There were guerrillas attacking our camp from the east, south, and northwest at the same time, but their numbers were very small, only a few hundred... no, maybe only a hundred people. They couldn't break through at all."

Mopuka punched himself hard on the head twice, and sneered: "The guerrillas attacking our camp is looking for death. Blow the trumpet to order, fill up the tents so that they can move to organize a counterattack, try to catch as many guerrillas as possible and come back for interrogation... ..."

"Wait!" Before he finished speaking, Major Mopuka suddenly vetoed himself, and several pieces of information were pieced together in his brain: Inexplicable poison, a hundred-man guerrilla dared to attack the camp of ten thousand people, and all of them would leave immediately .

How many people can be killed in this way? Even if the Cintra people are staunch, they are definitely not crazy.

"Blow the horn to let everyone prepare for the battle, don't act rashly! The Sintra people definitely got a support from nowhere. These 100-man guerrillas just want to make us mess up. Strengthen the defense around the food and grass. There is definitely someone from them launching a general attack..."

With a "bang", there was an explosion far more violent than the previous guerrilla attack.

This is definitely enough to tear a gap in the position, but Major Mopuka is not surprised but happy: "You actually launched a general attack now, so impatient?"

"Blow the horn to make the most extended people retreat, and attract those Sintra people. Put all the active people on the other sides up, and eat all the support of this Sintra people!"

"yes!"

...

At the place where the movement of thousands of people broke out just now, Geralt gathered his own guerrilla team of only a hundred people.

Sensing the movements of the Nilfgaardians around him, Geralt couldn't figure out what the enemy's general was thinking. But the task of attracting the enemy's main force to create opportunities for teammates should be completed.

"Throw away the bomb in your hand and withdraw!"

Geralt is already very used to this bomb tactics.

After giving the order to the partisan's deputy, Geralt then turned to Yennefer.

Behind him, the sorceress raised her hands high, and the fierce chaotic energy made the wolf's head emblem on Geralt's chest throb.
