From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

On February 10, 1265, Aden sent 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to form a coalition with Queen Mivi to fight against the Nilfgaardians in the south.

After the senior officers of the Eastern Group Army were wiped out by Lan, although the Black Army still had a sufficient reserve of middle-level officers, there were no generals with enough prestige to raise their arms to rally the remaining Black Army.

Even though the black-clothed army assembled and organized several resistances for a short period of time with their extremely high tactical literacy, they were only small battlefields with thousands of people. Under the strength of the joint fight, they have no resistance at all.

This is also one of the drawbacks of the Eastern Group Army's forced crossing of the Yaruga River. They completely lost contact with the logistics force, and after the momentum of their advance was destructively hindered, they immediately became a lone and remnant army that screamed every day.

On the contrary, the fact that they fled around Livia and fought on their own did make Queen Mivi flustered for a while.

Eight days ago, the forces of the coalition forces pushed to the Yaruga River, throwing the last large army in black into the rolling river.

Mi Wei, who was personally recruited by the imperial driver, wiped her ashen forehead. She could barely see the demeanor of the queen who is famous for her beauty in the north.

But her mental outlook is quite high: "This is the last strength of the 'Black Infantry Regiment'. After that, there will only be a dozen or dozens of defeated troops wandering in the countryside. It depends on the sheriff of each city. gone."

"I have to remind you, Mi Wei." Demavi, the king of Aden, said leisurely from the side: "These defeated troops are much more troublesome than ordinary bandits and robbers, and will involve a lot of your energy."

"But now we must put the elimination of the Nilfgaardians first, such as the two cavalry regiments in Upper Soden." Demavi gritted his molars, "Some time ago, the Lannister passed Have you read the secret letter? I have to admit that his plan is very feasible."

The relaxed Queen Mivi couldn't help laughing: "You seem to be more active in fighting the Nilfgaardians now than me and Lannister."

Demavi turned his head: "Most of what Lannister said at the Northern Conference was to the point. Although the kid is too young, he still has abilities."

"Calanthe is indeed good at cultivating younger generations." Demavi lowered her head, "It's a pity... she fell at the very beginning. And Lannister became a demon hunter again."

Queen Mi Wei was silent for a while: "Isn't Lan En's choice admirable? And don't think I don't know..."

The queen knocked on the horse's belly, leaving King Aedirn with a back: "You, Wizmir, Folterstadt, and Henselt are all happy to see Lane's choice, aren't you?"

With a cold face, Demavi asked back: "What about you, Mi Wei?"

The queen did not answer King Aedirn's words, but commanded her soldiers to enter the camp previously taken by the Nilfgaardians and rebuild the line of defense on the banks of the Yaruga River.

Mi Wei thought that after Livia's situation was completely stabilized, Sintra would almost be able to recover with Lan's efforts. Then they were able to unite and wipe out the two cavalry regiments in Upper Soden, completely driving Nilfgaard out of the north.

If possible, Mi Wei also wants to invite the remaining two countries of the four northern border countries to participate—she has no hope for Henselt's support, as long as the other party's Kaedwen doesn't make trouble.

In the past, the combination of her and Lann was still considered weak, but now if Demavi, who is also one of the leaders of the four major powers, speaks to Fultestay and Wizmir, it may be able to reverse the relationship between the two kings. Attitude, let them increase support.

Unfortunately, no matter it was Queen Miwei, Demavi III, or Lann, they all made a mistake at this moment.

Although the fighting all the time gave them a deep understanding of the combat capabilities of the soldiers of the Nilfgaardian Black Army, they knew very little about Emperor Emhyr who fought from south to north.

So when the ground trembled slightly and the flag of the Black Sun began to flutter from a distance, both Queen Mi Wei and Demavi III stared wide-eyed.

It was not only the threat of the black sun flag, but also a flag of a white scorpion on a black background, and a white skull on a black background.

Only troops with outstanding military exploits can have their own independent designation and flag.

And the two rulers who are proficient in military affairs can recognize the troops represented by the two flags, which are the Seventh Cavalry Brigade of Delaney and the Nausicaa Division belonging to the Fourth Cavalry Corps of Nilfgaard.

The horseshoes vibrated, and the cavalry pressed down like a black tide.

The people of Ardian only felt that everything was just like yesterday when Ad Fein's division attacked, but this time the enemy was stronger, and they didn't have the lion of Cintra.

Swords clashed, flames ignited, and the Black Eagle Flag, Red Diamond Flag, and Tricolor Rose Flag were covered by the Black Sun Flag, crushed by horseshoes, and trampled into the soil.

On February 12, Nilfgaardian cavalry troops occupied the Anglin forest area in northern Livia and occupied the two fortresses of Skala and Spala.

On February 15, the whole territory of Livia fell, and one third of Leiria was surrounded and occupied, and Queen Mivi retreated northward. At the same time, Major General Marcus Brebant, commander of Nausicaa's division, began gathering remnants in Livia.

On the same day, Kaedwen, one of the four great kingdoms in the north, suddenly launched an attack. King Henselt led a light cavalry unit called the Brown Banner Battalion across the Pontar River and took the opportunity to invade Aedirn south.

On February 16, the king of Aedirn was furious when he got the news. He dispatched 3,000 light cavalry to help the northern part of Aedirn. weaken.

On February 19, Queen Meeve rallied and joined Demawi's allied forces in battle against the Nilfgaardians at Edelsberg in Aedirn. The Usica Division, the 7th Cavalry Brigade of Delaney and the Black Infantry Regiment together made 17,000 people, easily defeating the Northern Allied Forces.

On the same day, Henselt led the Brown Banner Battalion across the Diffney River in Aedirn and occupied the town of Guleta in Aeden.

...

"Damn Henselt! No one who can't give birth to a son! What the hell is he jumping out at this time!"

Lane broke the defense.

He slammed the table hard, and the huge force "clicked" and the poor plank broke from it.

The situation in the eastern theater took a turn for the worse, and the black army made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations, but at this time, Henselt stabbed a knife severely when the neighboring country Aden was in trouble.

This is a choice that stunned everyone.

And at the same time, everyone was sure: Henselt absolutely did not reach any secret agreement with Nilfgaard, it was purely the whim of that crazy guy.

It was this that was particularly irritating, but he couldn't punch out with all his strength.

Mossack cursed with Lan in annoyance: "This stupid pig who deserves the plague and cholera!"

But now there are more serious problems.

Radcliffe was instructed in the town of Blokilong, and was directly teleported to the Ortagar Fortress to find Lane for help. At this moment, like a bereaved dog, he yelled at Lann miserably: "Duke Lannister, please send reinforcements quickly."

"It's really impossible, it's really impossible... Just go there yourself, and re-enact the force that used to deal with the Eastern Army in Livia..."

Mossack and Wisekid frowned at Aedirn's advisor at the same time, and then looked at Lann together.

Ciri gripped Lan's collar even more nervously.

Lan took a deep breath to calm down, and comforted Adrian's advisor, "Don't worry, Lord Radcliffe, Cintra is absolutely unwilling to lose the two staunch allies of Aedirn and Queen Mivi."

"But as you can see, we just finished a big battle. This battle allows Sintra to focus on the follow-up plan without any worries, but it also allows us to take a little time to rest."

"I have to discuss with my generals first and arrange the future combat strategy before I can make a decision."

Lane promised: "Tomorrow at the latest, I will make a decision. Please rest assured that there will be support—at least I will go there."

Radcliffe let out a long breath, and took a short rest while being guided by his attendants.

Turning his head, Lan's expression was already serious, and he asked the old druid beside him, "Uncle Mossack, I will trouble you, Mr. Feitov, Yennefer and Triss to call everyone together .”

"We need an emergency meeting."

...

For the purpose of mobility, the generals of all important troops had magic props as positioning, and with the help of the portal, everyone quickly gathered in front of Lan.

After learning about the situation in the eastern theater, everyone's expressions were exactly the same as Lann's, and the performance of a few explosive defenses was exactly the same as Lann's before.

"Are the Nilfgaardians so strong?" Captain Adam of the Freedom Legion expressed doubts. He has been fighting with the wind since he joined Sintra, "Or... the king and queen in the east are too good at fighting. gone?"

"They don't have dragons or Lann. The real strength of Nilfgaard can be seen from the difference in the equipment between the enemy and us." Easter glanced at Captain Adam in a cold voice, "I thought you should have some respect for the enemy. A more practical understanding."

Captain Adam, who had just arrived, immediately stopped talking. He knew that this man was the King of Skellige, or the former King of Cintra, even the first Duke of Lannister respected him.

East quickly turned his head and suggested to Lan En: "Lan, Demavi and Mi Wei are the ones we must save."

Lann took a deep breath: "I know."

He looked at the sand table map in front of him: "The Nilfgaardians are best at supporting wars with war. After the Central Army captured Livia, we will no longer worry about logistics. We will lay down the Western Army to block their retreat. Most of it was wiped out in an instant. What's more, Aden is still a big agricultural country. If their cavalry continue to go north to capture Aden, they don't even need Nilfgaard to transport food over thousands of miles in the future. Instead, they can feed back to the south. gone."

"At the same time, if they completely occupy the banks of the Yaruga River, they will be able to free up their hands to trim the bridge and obtain a new, safer northward passage. At that time, Sintra will completely lose its role as the 'Northern Gateway' and its strategic position It will be greatly reduced. We may also be attacked from the south and the east at the same time, and the surrounding environment will suddenly become dangerous."

Lan rubbed his head with a headache: "So I have to go to the Eastern Front for rescue."

Colonel Barclay from Mahakam wondered: "Why is such an important strategic route not heavily guarded? Why is it always defeated by the Nilfgaardians every time?"

Mossak sneered: "Because the real powerful countries don't want to take over these troublesome places, they like to stay in the rear and enjoy a corrupt life."

Colonel Barclay shook his head and muttered something.

But now is obviously not the time to be emotional, East turned to Lan and continued to ask, "What are you going to do?"

Lan stared at the sand table for a moment: "Niflgaard's army is strictly disciplined. It is impossible for their Marshal Mennonite to leave the central front and go east without authorization, so this must be an order from Emperor Emhyr."

"But the good news is that their surprise attack caught us off guard, but our lightning-fast defeat of the Western Group Army was also beyond their expectations. The battle report has not yet reached their hands, and the Nilfgaardian's scattered forces may be our reason for advancing the decisive battle. opportunity."

After a few collisions in his mind, Lan En had a draft in his mind.

"Knowing what I did to the Eastern Army, but still having the confidence to make such an arrangement, Emhyr must have taken corresponding measures to prevent me from copying the tactics of 'kill the general and capture the flag', and even have a plan specifically for me .”

"The nature of the cavalry unit is different from that of the black infantry regiment. It is difficult to achieve the effect of defeat in the previous battle."

"However, they don't fully understand my 'Ancient Blood', and I still have a lot of room to display it." Lan En said, "For the sake of insurance, I will bring two giant dragons with me this time when I go east."

"And your ice giants and other members of [the pride] if necessary." Mossak added, "and berserkers like those trolls, night goblins, and Bill. You should be able to Summon us druids or witchers."

"I will." Lane nodded. With the crooked melons remaining in the eastern theater, it is necessary to let these advanced combat units participate in the battle if the situation is to be stabilized.

"The clearing of the defeated army will continue, but there can't be too many people." Lan continued to deploy, "so you can only continue with the forest guerrillas led by Lei Suo. Marshal Sajid is leading the march to the eastern frontier, ready to support me at any time."

The guerrillas led by the demon hunter faced the small Nilfgaardian army with ease, and Lane was relieved to let them.

The marshal also solemnly assured: "Don't worry Lane, we have finally achieved today's results, to this point... I will never allow the Nilfgaardian to destroy all this again."

Lane nodded slightly to the Marshal, then turned to Easter.

"Uncle East, you are still on the Yaruga River with your fleet. You are highly mobile. If the Eastern Front needs military support, the sea force will be my only hope."

East patted Lan on the shoulder: "Be careful, I will always pay attention to you."

"Colonel Barclay, the Mahakam Volunteers don't have to continue to Sintra. You are directly stationed in Lower Soden, and you may be needed soon."

In the end, Lan looked at Ciri: "There will be another big battle, Ciri, you still have to go back to Brokiron Town, you are the most important. And I have an ominous premonition... After all, Nilfgaard also has warlocks I am worried that they will imitate me and carry out rear raids. But now that the battle line has been spread out, the city defense strength of Brokiron Town has dropped too much."

"I will continue to keep Alice in the town to protect you, no matter what happens, I will not [teleport] her away." Lan turned his head and said to Cohen, "I also trouble you to lead the town guerrillas to station in Bu Lokiron, protect Ciri."

The fellow of the Griffin School, who was full of knightly aura, nodded solemnly: "Leave it to me."
