From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 291 Countdown to Mahakam Chapter
Saskia's appearance shocked everyone. Just from the sound of the ax swinging through the wind, one could hear the amazing strength. What kind of battle is she going through?

The Cintra people almost screamed out when they saw Lane receiving the attack with his bare hands.

Instead, the Scoia'tael smiled, and Saskia's gesture showed that Tanshan was in the middle of a battle, and their plan worked!
Lan shook his numb hands, looked Saskia up and down, and found that although the dragon girl swung the ax vigorously just now, she was not in a bad state, and she didn't even have much blood on her body.

"Are you fighting? Who is the enemy? What's going on at Carbon Mountain?"

……

Before sending Saskia to take care of the ice giant, Lan simply revealed to her some of his plans about the Scoia'tael.

At this moment, Miss Longnu looked at the Scoia'tael who was kneeling on the ground and the elder Brovar who was clearly suppressing his anger, so she couldn't help but blurt out "as you expected" to Lann.

Swallowing the words back into her throat and reorganizing, Saskia gasped and said, "Actually, we're done."

"The young Ferenzi who escorted the Scoia'tael over responded internally. They released the Scoia'tael locked in the dungeon, and then cooperated with the outside world to let in the Scoia'tael lurking outside Carbon Mountain. They seemed to have planned it for a long time. "

"They yelled strange words about 'making the dwarves great again', as if they wanted to incite something. But the army of Carbon Mountain reacted quickly. The Barclay leader who received you really had a way, and they dispersed after a face-to-face meeting. Scoia'tael, have them cornered."

"The old soldiers were unwavering in the face of Scoia'tael's slogans, and so were the residents of Carbon Hill. Some young people were eager to move at first, but were quickly dragged back to the house by their parents. Then those parents also carried axes, Armor came out to help."

Lane nodded. The development of the matter was not bad as he expected. The Scoia'tael did stir up a little trouble, but it was quickly photographed, which was also in Sintra's interest.

Turning his gaze to the Great Elder, the old dwarf didn't show any "relieved" gesture, but just nodded his thanks to Saskia.

"Impossible!" The three-braided dwarf knelt on the ground and screamed, "You were still wielding an ax just now, and you were fighting hard! You are just trying to lie to stabilize the morale of the army, those fellow citizens of Carbon Mountain who suffered from Brovar Absolutely will not be indifferent to our slogans, absolutely..."

With a "bang", the nose of the three-braided dwarf made close contact with the hard frozen ground for the second time with the help of the dwarf guards.

Lan looked at Sakia, and the dragon girl shrugged at him: "I don't have any blood on my body, how can I fight so hard? But this battle was really ugly... Although Barclay's soldiers were not shouted interference, but it seems that they are not very willing to kill Scoia'tael, and it took a long time to fight back and forth, so I went to help. The most dead people were when Ziglin turned his back at the beginning..."

"Zige Gelin's betrayal?" The Great Elder at the side suddenly said.

Saskia nodded, and revealed Scoia'tael's plan to use Patriarch Zigrin to drug the Ice Giant.In fact, in the end, the ice giant maintained a complete and abundant combat power, but he did not make a move. Carbon Mountain's Scoia'tael has now been almost wiped out by the army led by Barclay.

"Zigelin..." The First Elder muttered the name of this clan, glanced at Lan En, wondering what he was thinking.

"Ferenz..." Then the name of another clan appeared in the mouth of the Great Elder. This time, his eyes were fierce, and the anger inside could be seen at a glance.

The Scoia'tael kneeling on the ground has become distraught. Sakiya's report is very detailed, and there is no logical loophole in the development process of the incident. It doesn't look like a lie. This shows that the Scoia'tael's actions have indeed failed. of.

The Great Elder Brovar walked up to the Scoia'tael with three braids, turned the handle of the ax upside down and put it on the opponent's chin, forcing the opponent to look at him.The ax was heavy, and the great elder's body was very old, but he carried the ax as easily as if he was holding a branch in his hand.

"What other plans do you have, and how many people are there?"

Three Braided Scoia'tael said nothing.

Lan raised his brows, and gestured with his left hand [Yakesi Seal].

"If you need to interrogate information, maybe I can do it for you."

"No, Duke Lannister." The Great Elder shook his head, "You have helped enough today, and the next step is our own business."

He waved his hand, and the warriors of his own dwarf guard lifted the three-braided dwarf, and brought him back for questioning only after the affairs here were over.

However, the Scoia'tael seemed to be stimulated by the elder's words. He began to struggle violently and shouted loudly:
"You defeated us with the help of humans, Brovar! You begged for the help of humans, and you abandoned the glory of the dwarves!"

The Great Elder didn't speak, but the flushed face suddenly began to fade, and became like a rock in the mountains.

"You've been in Mahakam for too long, you can't hear the sound outside!" the Three-braided Scoia'tael was still shouting, "It's impossible for the dwarves to remain neutral and sleep in the mountains! We Humanity needs to be fought back, we need to awaken the sleeping Mahakam, we need to..."

"Give him an axe." The Great Elder interrupted suddenly.

The onlookers in Sintra almost thought they heard it wrong.But the soldiers of the dwarf guards did not, they maintained 100% obedience to the orders of the great elder.

Although their faces were hesitant, they still loyally let go of the three-braided dwarf, which made the captives panic.

Then with a clang, an ax was thrown in front of the three-braided dwarf.He quickly looked around twice, then hurriedly crawled over to pick up the axe, constantly turning his body, aiming the axe blade at the people around him chaotically and disorderly like an archer aiming at the target.

Then he found that the members of the dwarf guard had taken two steps back, and the one closest to him at this moment was actually the elder Brovar Hogg.

Brovar Hogg with an axe.

Lane raised an eyebrow.How should I put it, the Great Elder wants to have a ceremonial one-on-one duel with the traitor to break the captive's psychological defense?This may be somewhat possible in Mahakam, which values ​​tradition and honor.

But considering the moral bottom line displayed by Scoia'tael at the moment, this "probability" may be relatively low.

The three-braided dwarf quickly calmed down after the initial panic, and he pretended to be calm with a trembling voice, and said, "Brovar Hogg, you made a wrong decision, you are already old , it is impossible to..."

"Continue talking." The Great Elder suddenly interrupted the other party.

The words of the three-braided dwarf suddenly choked up.

"Go on, what else do you think about the future of Mahakam and the dwarves?"

The three-braided dwarf looked at the elder in disbelief, and for some reason, he obediently repeated his "ideal blueprint".

"I, we... can no longer remain neutral." But his voice was no longer as firm as when he was captured, "We are either enemies of mankind, or, or we can only be their slaves..."

There was a burst of "huh", and the cold steel turned into a black shadow in midair.The three-braided dwarf was startled, and hurriedly waved the ax in his hand to prevent a sneak attack.

However, with a "clang", the great elder Brovar threw his battle ax aside, even away from the direction of the Three-braided Scoia'tael.At this moment, he was empty-handed, and continued to walk towards the three-braided dwarf slowly and oppressively.

"Go on, go on."

The three-braided dwarf swallowed hard and raised the ax blade in his hand: "Damn it, do you think you can scare me? You cowardly old man, our plan, our plan is, is..."

At that moment, the three-braided dwarf's brain was almost blank, and then he felt a sudden thrust from the ax in his hand.Concentrating his fragmented thoughts, he suddenly saw that the elder with empty hands was holding the ax blade with his chest, and was pressing towards him step by step.

"Teng Teng Teng" the three-braided dwarf holding a sharp ax kept retreating, while the unarmed Great Elder continued to move forward firmly.

"We, we want to make the dwarves great again, we want to..." The three-braided dwarf breathed heavily, but he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Geralt and Colgrim looked at each other, and strode involuntarily to Lann's side. He wanted to say something, but Lann raised his hand to stop him.

The male lion's eyes were surprisingly bright, staring firmly at the elder of the dwarf.And the Great Elder finally started talking about something else after the three-braided Scoia'tael could no longer talk.

"I was elected by the clan as the Great Elder 200 years ago and began to rule Mahakam."

In the horrified eyes of the three-braided dwarf, Brovar suddenly reached out and patted on the shoulder, and his cloak fell to the ground.

"The elves begged us for help at the gate of Mahakam, and I ordered the gate to be closed. So the kingdom of the elves perished, and Mahakam survived. Now Mahakam is the only country ruled by an ancient race."

Brovar pulled hard on his waist, and then his breastplate fell to the ground with a loud crash.

"For hundreds of years, we've been mining, smithing, mining, smithing. Young people keep leaving and keep coming back. You think you, you guys who joined Scoia'tael, were the first to have an idea and want to overthrow me ?”

Broval's eyes widened, his face was calm, but the flames had already begun to burn in his chest.

He tore off the padded coat inside the breastplate, revealing the skin like a horned wood and the still sharp chest muscles, and ruthlessly pressed against the opponent's ax blade.

"Do you think you are the first person who has a problem with me and tries to kill me?!"

The three-braided dwarf didn't dare to look at those scorching eyes anymore, and he actually started looking around for help.

"Damn it, someone, someone, give him an ax...or give your Great Elder a sword!" Scoia'tael trembled, "Otherwise, otherwise I'll..."

"Otherwise you will kill me?" Brovar took the other party's words coldly.

"Young man, young man! Do you think you have seen the future of the dwarves and feel that you are right?" Brovar raised his chest fiercely, and the sharp ax blade was embedded in his skin immediately, "Then Ah, kill me and lead Mahakam to the future, isn't this the future you are looking forward to?"

Bright red blood flowed down from the junction of the ax and the skin like a stream.However, the three-braided dwarf suddenly raised his hand in panic as if he had been electrocuted, and then threw his only weapon far away.

He stepped back and forth in a mess, and finally his left foot tripped over his right foot, or just his knees softened, and he fell to the ground with a "thump".

The Great Elder still walked forward with that kind of oppressive footsteps neither fast nor slow, without even looking at the wound on his chest, until he stood in front of the three-braided dwarf.

"Listen well, I don't even want to know your name traitor. I will not die, not at the hands of you traitors. Mahakam will not allow it, the dwarves will not allow it, the future of the mountains will not allow it !"

"We, our plan, our ideal is..." The psychological defense of the three-braided dwarf was completely broken. He just muttered to himself, but he couldn't tell the follow-up of the so-called "plan" and "ideal". .

The cold wind from the mountains blew past, and quickly froze the blood on the Great Elder's chest into a clot.

"You want to prove that you are a man." Looking at the Scoia'tael who couldn't stand up, the First Elder shook his head, "But even if you have grown a beard, you are still just a child after all. You can't do this kind of return, infiltrate , To overthrow Mahakam's plan, you don't have the guts."

"Tell me, who arranged all these actions."

"It's... Scoia'tael, those elves." The three-braided dwarf squirmed his lips.

"Elf?" The Great Elder's eyes became inexplicable.

The three-braided dwarf lowered his head: "Those elves... the elves in charge of contacting Nilfgaard received instructions a few days ago. They said that they are willing to build a new kingdom for the elves. Also, they are willing to give us dwarves a more open territory."

"Niflgaard?" The Great Elder looked even more disappointed, "Hatred with humans, huh?"

"Bullying, oppressing us is the kingdom in the north, Temeria, Kaedwen, Aedirn, and Temeria..." The three-braided dwarf shook his head frantically to himself, "We, we can leave the mountains and become more free and open. After we have a new territory, Nilfgaard is no longer important. We can be with the elves, and Nilfgaard..."

The elder no longer looked at the three-braided dwarf, he already knew the news he wanted.

With a wave of his hand, two dwarf guards immediately tied up the three-braided dwarf who was in a trance, and dragged him aside.

Lan used his powerful expression control ability to suppress the raised corner of his mouth, strode to a place five steps away from Broval and stopped.
