From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 254 Skellige: Now It's Our Revenge
The mighty dragon boat stands on the cliff.

It is said that this ship used to be the car of Tyre, the son of Hamdor, with outstanding military achievements. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of time, it can no longer cross the sea.But the people of the Tursek family still kept the ship that accompanied their ancestors and moved it to the cliff closest to the sea on Little Skellige Island as a memorial.

Every generation of Tursek family patriarchs will carefully repair the dragon boat and its surrounding land, preserving the traces of meritorious deeds on it.The Druids of the Ring of Oak specially planted an oak seed in the cabin of the dragon boat at the request of Patriarch Tursek. After thousands of years, the oak tree has grown to the height of the tower, and the dragon boat also Completely at one with the oaks, with the cliffs, with Little Skellige, with the Turseks.

A high platform was built around the dragon boat, and a series of torches, braziers, and a grand bonfire were lit; the coat of arms of the seven families hung on the oak tree, and the indigo roaring long shield of the Tursek family was in the center. , and the other six major families defended it.

East sat on the dragon boat, with his back against the huge oak tree, the howling wind above his head, and the cliffs connected to the waves under his feet, as if he had turned the entire Skellige into his own throne.

The previous king's banquet was interrupted because of the Ice Giant's surprise attack on the Todaloch family. At this moment, the king of the archipelago finally ushered in his real coronation time.

Dona Ann Sindar stood before the oak.He is the most benevolent elder among the seven major families, and he is also the lord of the Temple of Freya. He has a transcendent status on the island; The ceremony couldn't be more appropriate.

Bran still has to avoid suspicion for a variety of reasons.

Lord Dona spread his arms and said loudly to the crowd in front of him, "Not long ago, the evil Svalblo sect followers attacked our banquet, causing a large number of warriors from the seven great families to return to the sea. Easter of the Ercek family led the soldiers to wipe out the enemy for us and filled the gaps in the achievements of our ancestors."

A remnant statue of Svalblo stood on the high platform, and the huge bonfire used it as a burning material.As Dona praised East's achievements, cheers began to come from under the high platform.

"Misfortunes never come singly. Not long ago, the fallen of Svalblo attacked Udvik again, and the monsters driving the entire island almost caused the demise of our brother family."

The statue of the evil god was found on the body of the ice giant, and this matter was completely determined. The riot of the ice giant was attributed to the conspiracy of the Swablo sect.

Lord Harold of the Todaloch family led his people under the high platform, his eyes full of gratitude and sobriety.After being rescued by the druid, he has now recovered, but occasionally there will be some stress reactions similar to post-traumatic syndrome.

The patriarchs of the other four major families were also stationed below, and they were at the forefront of the team to witness Easter's ascension to the throne.

"Countless warriors died in the disaster, but fortunately all the suffering was ended by one person." Dona waved his cane, "Today, all the sorrows come to an end; today, thanks to the grace of the Holy Mother, ancestors, and all the families Thanks to that, we have our new ruler—”

Everyone's eyes moved towards the direction of the staff in Dona's hand—in fact, everyone's eyes never moved away from there.East stood up slowly under the focus of his eyes, with an iron crown on his head and a bronze sword in his hand.

There was no need to announce his name, Dona took a step back and came to the edge of the high platform, and the others also bent their backs and lowered their heads following the elder's movements.

"Let us swear allegiance to the new king, this is the archipelago, the ancestors, the choice of the gods—"

Shouts and cheers followed, and East's name became an inspiring slogan. The warriors held up their weapons, and their enthusiastic voices overwhelmed the wind and waves.

Bran showed a contented smile in the audience; Lugo the Crazy put his hands on his chest and looked displeased, but he couldn't take his eyes away from East.

Juta, the newly appointed lord of the Dimen family, quietly moved to Kratz's side, and whispered, "Len...why didn't Duke Lannister come? As His Majesty's nephew, he should be present."

Kratz scratched his beard, and the smile on his face became even more uncontrollable.

"Lan will come...but first."

……

East stood up from the dragon boat's throne and opened his arms.Seeing that the king was about to say something, the cheers were cut short immediately, and those bright eyes stared straight up.

East's face was full of emotion, and his voice was full of firmness: "I experienced such a scene more than ten years ago, and many people witnessed me wearing the crown for the second time. I am overwhelmed that you can continue to support me now." gratitude."

"The archipelago has no secrets. I believe everyone has heard why I am standing here again."

There are no secrets in the archipelago, and someone immediately shouted under the high platform:

"Revenge for the Queen!"

"Fuck the Nilfgaardian!"

Sintra's national policy of emphasizing weapons and swords is in line with the values ​​​​of the islanders, and East has many fans in Skellige. All these make Calanthe's popularity in Skellige not weak.After the destruction of Sintra and the martyrdom of Calanthe, the pirates of Skellige have spontaneously increased their offensive intensity against the coast of Nilfgaard by more than one level.

After East came to the throne, the king's personal enmity naturally became the country's family enmity.

In addition to the slogan of revenge for Calanthe, there are other slogans mixed in at this moment:
"Revenge for Lord 'Blood Red'!"

Lord Thorgil, nicknamed "Blood Red", the elder of the Tursek family, failed to make it through after all, and was buried deep in the castle by the Nilfgaardian's catapult.When everyone dug him out, even Lan's system was powerless.

The islanders had one more reason to wage war.

As soon as he thought of this, Easter couldn't hide the grief on his face.For him, Thorgil is a strict but kind elder, and most of his skills in the sea were learned from Thorgil when he was young.

"The Islands have no secrets and I'm sure you all knew what was happening on our territory not too long ago."

"I would like to say: the Nilfgaardian is a threat, and after he sweeps the north, he will eventually turn his finger on the archipelago; or: we Skellige and the Nilfgaardian are a blood feud, and there will be a war between us. "

"These reasons are honorable enough, but—we don't need them at the moment."

"We have only one reason, and that is—revenge of glory!"

The Skelliges are far away from the mainland, and they don't need to think about politics or the truth of death on the island. They are more willing to do whatever they want, and "revenge" is far more suitable for them than righteousness. reason.

Although Thorgil is not as kind as Donna, he is also a respected senior.And it was only the archipelago who plundered the southerners. Now the islanders have been touched into the hinterland by the southerners, assassinated a lord of the seven major families, and destroyed a castle?
This is a great disgrace to all Skelliges, and a stain on the honor of all islanders!
"Tolgil's courage is like a strong ship. He has shared his treasure countless times when the people are poor. Even the southern emperor's castle cannot escape bad luck under his bravery."

"But the Nilfgaardians, they have no glory, they brought trebuchets from the south! The walls fell, and the islanders were buried in them. The sea of ​​rubble swallowed the warriors, our lord and his loyal guard! "

Even the patriarchs of the other six major families could not restrain their emotions at this moment.No matter how humble and polite they are at ordinary times, and how lenient they are to the people, their blood will boil like a wave in the face of what the Nifoga people have done.

"Soldiers to Nilfgaard!"

Crazy Lugo and Kratz yelled together, raising their weapons.The two feuding families finally have their first common goal at this moment.

There was a rumbling sound suddenly, and there seemed to be a slight earthquake on the cliff.The excited islanders suddenly suffocated, the crowd panicked for a while, some people clenched their weapons, but then they showed expressions of excitement and anticipation.

The archipelago has no secrets.

The continuous rumbling sound suddenly stopped, and then, ten steps away from East, a bright emerald-colored sun suddenly appeared.The light was so dazzling that the surrounding islanders involuntarily raised their arms to cover their eyes.

But knowing what was about to happen, they couldn't bear to miss the scene in front of them, so they tried their best to keep their eyes open, and even shed tears because of it.

The bright spot taller than the oak tree slowly extinguished, and a blue-white giant appeared in front of everyone like a sculpture.

He has a ferocious face, but his expression is actually solemn.Every muscle on his body is as sharp as a rock, and every breath is accompanied by waves rolling in everyone's ears.

Lord Harold and the rest of the Todaloch family reflexively took a step back.

But then everyone saw the blond knight standing on the giant's shoulders.

They saw the ice giant bending over his king, bowing his head, and kneeling on one knee.Then the blond knight jumped down from the ice giant's shoulders. At this moment, the shoulders were still a story high from the ground, but judging from the blond knight's movements, it seemed that it was just a small step.

There are no secrets in the archipelago. Everyone knows that the new king East, after destroying the Svalblo sect, led a team of less than a hundred people into the mountains to fight against the ice giants alone in order to save the Todaloch family.The new king's nephew, the Duke of Lannister, led his demon hunters and played a pivotal role.

Not only did they defeat the ice giant, they even tamed the ice giant!
What an honor!Throughout the history of the archipelago, no ancestor has ever accomplished such a feat!
Although it was Duke Lannister who tamed the ice giant, Duke Lannister is the nephew of King East, and the honor of Duke Lannister is also the honor of King East.

Behold, the monster that has ravaged the poetry of the Isles for a thousand years bows, kneels, and salutes before the new King of the Isles!

"My king East!"

Even the tsunami could not suppress the fanatical atmosphere of the islanders at the moment.

Lan jumped off the ice giant's shoulders, saluted East slightly, then turned around and gestured for the ice giant to open its palms, and pulled out a Nilfgaardian officer wearing the black armor of a senior officer.

He was cleaned up, and the armor on his body was polished, but his face was terrified, his spirit was broken, and he could not speak a word.

Seeing the Nilfgaardians appear, the islanders began to shout with anger. If it weren't for the fact that Easter and Lann were on it, they would have started spitting and throwing axes on it.

Lane pushed the officer in front of East in the attitude of an executioner, facing the islanders, and then took a step back to get out of the way.

"In the name of King Skellige, I sentence the sinner to be beheaded. His head will be thrown into the mountains, his body will be thrown into the sea, and his soul will never return to the mainland. The sinner will be touched forever in this black day." The impending death lingers until the end of the Era." East held up his weapon, "And the war between Skellige and Nilfgaard begins now!"

Without saying a word to the captive, the knife flashed and blood gushed out.

The head was split from the body, and the islanders witnessed the scene with wide-eyed eyes, and gave the most enthusiastic response from the depths of their blood: "My king, East!"

East held the head high: "Hang him on the bow of our ship, strip off his armor and tie it on our shield. When attacking Nilfgaard, I will let all the southerners See their mutilated Black Sun emblems!"

"My King East!!!"
-
There are not many reasons to send troops that can mobilize soldiers from all over the country, let alone two at a time.

In order to help Udvik Island, soldiers from other families have assembled, and there is no need to disband at this moment. They will continue to train on the spot, and at the same time increase logistics and food, and prepare to sail to help Sintra.

In this enthusiastic atmosphere, Lan even suspected that even without Sintra, the Skellige would sharpen their swords and go straight to Nilfgaard.

"The crowd is exciting, the morale is high, and the morale of the army is available." Looking at the broken black sun armor hanging on East's car, Lan couldn't help but sigh.

Before leaving Skellige, however, Lane still had a few things to wrap up.

Feitov opened the portal, stepped into it, and returned to the Oak Land when he came out.

Afterwards, spots of bright emerald light appeared around him.

He looked at Lann's figure appearing from it with a sigh. No matter how many times he watched Fetov, he would never get tired of this novel magic. He even wanted to discuss with Lann about the academic analysis of this magical ability.

It's a pity that he understands that this young man has more important things to do now.

After Lann got used to the surrounding environment, Fetov pointed to the wooden house beside him: "He's inside. He's a respectable warrior, but unfortunately he's fallen into a deep sleep now, go wake him up——Lann .”

"Thank you, sorry for your trouble." Lan nodded gratefully towards Feitov, turned and pushed open the door.

A man with a stature as strong as a bear was lying on an oak bed. His naked upper body was covered with large scars covering small scars, and small scars piercing large scars, with various knife wounds, burns, claw marks, and tooth marks running across.

He breathed heavily and vigorously, and when he heard the sound of someone entering the door, he vigilantly opened those amber vertical pupils.

"Ged." Lann asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"
