From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 300 Call it a day, go home——Continue playing
"Mi Wei, maybe we should go."

In the camp a mile and a half away from Livia's capital, Demavi looked at Queen Meeve with a stern expression.

The dusty queen has not given up yet, she is holding a binoculars, staring intently at her home surrounded by enemies, waiting for a turning point.

"We shouldn't listen to Lannister's nonsense at all." Looking at the indifferent Queen Meeve, Demavi frowned and continued to persuade.

"Let's not talk about whether he has the ability to really do what he promised. Even if he really killed Adal Aip Daxi, with our current number of people, I'm afraid the Nilfgaardians have nothing to do— They still have the two main force corps stationed in Lower Soden, watching closely!"

"We should keep our strength as much as possible, give up Livia, retreat to Leiria, and stabilize the situation first." Demavi said leisurely, "I will write to Fultestay, Wizmir, and even Brovar of Mahakam calls for help to ease the situation. I will never let you be the next Calanthe."

As far as military deployment is concerned, Demavi's plan is well-founded; as far as the current situation is concerned, his plan is actually the most feasible.

The coalition forces of the two countries who were stunned by the Nilfgaardian raid really needed time to stabilize the situation before they could prevent a powerful counterattack.Instead of being entangled in the lost land like he seems to be irritated now, it is easy to fall into the rhythm of the enemy's battle, and he will be defeated after repeated battles, and will be completely swallowed alive in the end.

"Niflgaard is an enemy that needs to gather the strength of the entire northern border to fight against it. Have you forgotten the battle of Mount Soden, Mi Wei?"

Mi Wei, who was wearing gray and golden armor, ignored Demavi's words.She is the princess of Lyria, and she won the ruling right of Livia after marrying the king of Livia.After her husband died, she had already regarded Livia as a responsibility that she needed to sacrifice her life to protect.

Her attention was focused on the distance, and she seemed to have blocked all information from the outside world. After a long time, she said leisurely: "My two sons are leading my subjects to fight against the enemy in that city. As the Queen , I have no reason to flee while watching my country fall.”

Demavi didn't want to say anything more to the stubborn Queen Miwei, and slammed his cloak and walked out of the tent.

"Corribone, blow the trumpet to summon our army, then contact our advisors, and prepare to return home." Demavi commanded his general decisively, "Soon, our Aden will become the first to fight against Nilfgaard. line."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have listened to Lannister's crazy words at all!" Demavi got more and more angry, pulled out his saber and chopped off a torch, "I even sent my Special Operations Force to follow him and charge! Now none of those elites can come back!"

Demavi's rule in Aedirn was famous for its tyranny, and no courtier dared to say "no" to him in this mood.

However, before his general could carry out the order, Queen Mi Wei's surprised cry suddenly came from the military tent he had just left:

"Falled! Nilfgaard's commander-in-chief fell!"

"Blow the horn! The whole army charges!"

The trumpeter, who had been waiting for a long time, conveyed Queen Miwei's order within two breaths, and the military tent that had been ready to go immediately came to life, with the sound of horseshoes, weapons, and armor colliding one after another. .

A new round of fighting has begun.

"...Your Majesty? We..."

General Aden, who was good at reading words and expressions, saw Demavi's face change. It was really impossible to tell whether it was anger, surprise, or something more complicated.

"us……"

"charge."

Demavi gritted his teeth and said.

Even the general who had served in Aden for many years couldn't react to the repeated conflicting orders.And looking at the hesitant expression of the general under the tent, Demavi was not polite, and slashed at him with a fierce sword.

Demavi's strength was not strong, and the general's high-grade plate armor was also thick, so there were only a few sparks splashed.No one was hurt, but it did startle the general.

"Follow Mi Wei's troops and charge! Can't you see such a good fighter!"

"charge!"

……

Livia's cavalry, led by the queen's knights, marched forward without hesitation.

They passed a land that seemed to have been scorched by flames, and black armor fragments were scattered on the ground.Among them, a few Livia's coat of arms can be seen vaguely, and they know that they are their colleagues performing forward missions.

It was their sacrifice that gave the opportunity for this charge.

For the knight class, the combat effectiveness of the north and the south is about the same; but if the grassroots troops are added, the two sides have opened up more than one level.

The south has been fighting for years, and even the grassroots are mostly professional soldiers, veterans of the battlefield.With the blessing of excellent equipment, a Nilfgaardian infantry can almost fight against two, three, or even five northern soldiers.

However, the number of black-clothed troops is twice, triple, or even five times that of the northern soldiers every time. Facing the tide-like black-clothed troops, the northerners are defeated every time they fight without any power to fight back. He was beaten to death.

But northern soldiers have an advantage that southerners will never be able to match-that is morale.

With their own queen behind them, this is a battle of honor that they cannot retreat; ahead is the capital of Livia, this is a battle of defense to prevent the country from being destroyed.

Even if a giant dragon is entrenched in front, the Livians in the team will charge without hesitation.

The horse's hooves rumbled, and it stepped across a land enclosed by ice and snow.At this moment, the ice layer has melted slightly, revealing a large number of fragments of the Black Sun armor, as well as the silver sun banner that has been trampled on the ground so that its true colors can hardly be seen.

【Ad Fein Division】, one of the heavy cavalry ace units of the Nilfgaardians, their defeat gave the Livians confidence.

The Duke of Lannister led the coalition soldiers to defeat this force, which means that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the northern border is actually not a problem, and the Livians are not incapable of defeating the Nilfgaardians!
The banner of the black sun ahead was getting closer, and the eyes of the Livians were already red.A heroic shout came from behind:
"Charge! Soldiers, I am with you!"

"For Queen Mi Wei!!"

With a "bang", in order to cross the river, the Nilfgaardians had no other cavalry units except for the Ad Fein division who came from Lower Soden to support them. He bumped into Livia's cavalry abruptly!

Immediately, the black wave seemed to hit a rock, and a hole was severely torn open.

These were the regiments of light infantry, and therefore the fastest, and the first to meet the Livians.I didn't bother to think about how the Nilfgaardians would adopt such absurd tactics, and actually let the light infantry and cavalry confront each other, and the Livians directly immersed themselves in the blissful charge that they hadn't enjoyed for a long time.

The cavalry gun was smashed, the long sword was drawn out and continued to slash; the horseshoe boomed, and the impact of left and right slams could kill soldiers.

After swiping left and right, the queen's rash cavalry team soon became clear.

"Don't stop, there are still Nilfgaardian troops ahead! The defeated army will be wiped out by the reinforcements behind us, continue to charge!"

The short open space gave the team that had just rushed out of the crowd room to accelerate again, and the cavalry team that had just slashed heartily for a while was at the moment when the morale reached its peak.

From a distance, the knights saw that the team in front had strong armor and thick shields, which would slightly hinder them.

But the Livians are not afraid of sacrifice.The knights on the front line were about to use their bodies and horses to punch a gap in the solid shield for the comrades behind, but suddenly heard a melodious horn from the Nilfgaardian's rear.

The Nilfgaardians have strict discipline and strict hierarchy, and the military law that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after many years of fighting makes the grassroots execute no matter how absurd the military order is.

As a result, the Livians who were charging saw the infantry in front of them suddenly pause in front of them, then turned around and left.

……

The infantry and cavalry confronted each other, turned around halfway through the rush, and left their backs for the hostile cavalry.

What tactic is this?
The cavalry on Livia's forward line were stunned, but their horses were not.Another charging distance out of thin air allowed the cavalry to completely accumulate their strength to the peak. Except for the reduced number of people, they almost accumulated their power to the level of the first charge.

"Boom" the cavalry slammed into the back of the retreating infantry regiment, and the scene seemed like a massacre.

"Woo--" the melodious horn sounded again, and the black-clothed army who had already contacted and chased the cavalry regiment had entered the mode of defeating the army, but the infantry at the end of the line suddenly stopped, they were hesitating, It seems to want to turn around and charge again.

This blocked the way for others to escape.

Pushing and stamping happened, and the entire regiment was completely defeated.The Livia cavalryman felt like a chef cutting meat, but he found that the meat was getting thicker and thicker with a knife, and a little bit of happy trouble began to arise.

What happened to the Nilfgaardians?This question kept popping out of the Cavaliers' minds.

……

"The sun is on the top, the trumpeter is crazy!" The general of the infantry regiment reacted angrily, "Don't worry about the horn, the whole army is under my command..."

Even if he had to be dealt with by military law after returning, this general would not hesitate to do so. With the current situation, he was even worried that he would die if he went back.

Suddenly, the Livian felt the soldiers in front of them calm down. Although they were still defeated and the meat was still cut by the chef's knife, the sticky feeling of cutting was gone.

The Livians' expressions turned serious, and they knew something had changed.

Then, they saw flames suddenly lit up under the banner of this infantry regiment, and then the banner of the Black Sun collapsed.

Then, the infantry became chaotic again, and the viscous cutting feeling came back.

"Your Majesty!" The horse's hoof was deafening, and the knight beside Queen Miwei shouted towards her, "The situation is not right, this battle has gone too smoothly! The Nilfgaardians may have set some traps, and these are all bait! Your safety is far above everything else, otherwise..."

"What kind of tricks are we worthy of the Nilfgaardians? Huh?" The queen on the battlefield unceremoniously suppressed the knight's objection, "It's Lann, it must be him! Although I don't know how he did it, But this is the best time for us to recover the country! Keep charging!"

……

The subsequent development was even more amazing. As the cavalry advanced, even if the Livians hadn't come into contact with the enemy, the opponent's flag always fell first, and then the troops began to mess up.At this time, even Aiden's legion had already entered the black army, completely turning the southerners into a defeated army.

Gradually, Mi Wei's cavalry team had slowed down, and they didn't need to charge forward anymore.They only need to use horses to drive away the defeated army, and then the defeated army will naturally engulf their own people and continue to escape, creating more defeated troops. The damage caused by trampling, scrambling and chopping alone is better than the charge of the Livians.

The messy horns were still sounding uninterrupted, but no black-clothed soldier cared about it anymore.All the orders that the black-clothed army can carry out are only the last one - that is to flee.

Queen Mi Wei still has a sense of unreality now. She has long been prepared to kill the enemy herself, but the fact is that she has not been stained with a trace of blood, and the enemy has no chance to break through her guard.

Until a certain moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly came in front of him.The army in black was suddenly knocked away, revealing a cavalry unit with the same armor and coat of arms as Queen Miwei, but they were led by a knight in silver and black armor with blond hair and the aura of a lion .

Lann Lannister Rhianlon, Lion of Cintra.Obviously their team has just rushed out from the enemy, but their spirit is more than one level stronger than the soldiers like myself who drove the enemy all the way.

The knights behind the lion looked at him with sparkling eyes, and for a while they didn't even realize that they were the queen.
-
War can never be finalized through personal factors.

Lane sometimes recalled such a story was described in a certain literary and artistic work he had read in his previous life: a hidden and powerful man with demigod blood strayed into a continent that was in the midst of a world war.

This strong man naively thought that the leaders of both sides of the war were bewitched by an evil god, and that world peace could be achieved only by killing the evil god.

In the end, the demigod wiped out the evil god, and it turned out that her idea was wrong.

War can never be stopped after the elimination of individual people.When the intensity of the war increases to a certain level, even if the initiator of the war does not want to fight, the people under him will push him to move on.

For example, Lane's beheading operation.After the enemy's flag was erected, he could actually behead the enemy's commander in a chic manner, and then teleport and run away——

But after that?
A group army with tens of thousands of soldiers, well-defined classes, well-equipped, complete arms, and a substantial reserve of mid- and low-level officers will collapse immediately after killing a commander, and become a chicken and a dog?
I don't mean to offend, but Lan felt that even if he wiped out all the senior officers of the opponent, the northern border would not be able to deal with the remaining Nilfgaardians—or if he had fought, he would still hurt the enemy a thousand and himself. Hundred.

You must know that Nilfgaard still has a large reserve army stalking them. Lan and the others won't be able to sit back and relax after winning this battle.

So Lann led the "decoy" troops into battle, and after discovering that the heavy cavalry of [Ad Fein's Division] was lured out, he decisively chose to eat the entire troop; The Vivians fought back; then with great effort, the entire command regiment of the Eastern Army, plus the Warlock troops, were wiped out.

As if that wasn't enough, Lan En broke into the combat divisions and brigades of the group army as much as possible, and killed all the generals standing under the banner as much as possible.

It was also at this time that Queen Mivi, who had accumulated anger for an unknown amount of time, arrived with her own troops and the reinforcements of the Aedirians. Cooperating with Nilfgaard's messy command that could already be defined as a "traitor" level, this It caused the collapse of the Nilfgaardian army and completely defeated it.

Note, this is not "annihilation", but "defeat".

Nilfgaard still has more soldiers than Arian and the United Kingdom combined.

……

At this moment, Lann, who returned the command of the cavalry to Queen Mivi, stood on the city wall of Livia's capital, watching Queen Miwei lead the army rumbling away, knowing in his heart that this could not be resolved in a short time matter.

Queen Mivi needs to pursue the victory non-stop, drive the Nilfgaardians back to the other side of the Yaruga River, and regain the entire territory of Livia.Otherwise, not to mention the risk of the black-clothed army reorganizing and camping to resist, which would increase casualties, or the rout of the army scattered to the surrounding towns, that would be a loss that Queen Mi Wei could not bear.

After all, this is an army of tens of thousands of people.

Demavi stopped for a while when he passed by the capital of Livia, especially after seeing Duke Darcy, the commander of the Eastern Army Group, he still wanted to break up with Lane.

It seems that they want to ask for prisoners.

But there was no need for Lan to show Demavi's face long ago. After coldly refusing, he watched the impotent and furious him continue to follow Queen Mivi and chase the Nilfgaardians away.

Although Demavi has a grumpy temper, the good thing is that he understands the overall situation and has a vision.No matter how angry he was, he knew that beating the Nilfgaardians was the top priority now.

With a "bang", a fiery red portal opened beside Lann, and the Sintra man came out from inside, his nervous expression relaxed slightly after seeing Lann.

They surrounded Lan En, and after they stood still, Aedirn's royal advisor walked out of the portal, and he saluted Lan En slightly.

The language conflict between the Duke of Cintra and King Aedirn did not affect the attitude of the warlock as an advisor.

"Duke Lannister."

"Thank you, Mr. Radcliffe." Lan nodded slightly towards the other party, "Next, I will trouble you to communicate with the teleportation array on Sintra, and I will provide the coordinates there."

This is not Lann's war in the first place.If it weren't for the fear that the defeat of the United Kingdom would affect the overall situation of Sintra, perhaps he would not have stayed to fight this battle.

If you want to maximize the results of this battle, it will take days or even weeks of pursuit, strangulation, and consolidation. That is not what Lane needs to participate in, nor is Lane willing to participate.

I just don't know what attitudes and reactions the North and South will have to the outcome of this battle.

The two sons of Queen Miwei seemed to want to stay with Lan En for a while, saying that they were expressing their gratitude, but they were politely refused.Lane is eager to return to Sintra. On the one hand, he is worried about the war situation, and on the other hand, he is indeed homesick.

But in terms of rhetoric, he was still very organized: "In the face of the southern invasion, the northern border naturally has the responsibility of advancing and retreating together. My help is not something that requires too much thanks from the two highnesses. I only hope that in the future in the fight against the black If we can still meet the two Highnesses on the battlefield today, we will have a real chance to fight side by side."

Lan could feel that when he said this, the eyes of the two princes seemed to be shining.
-
Sintra, town of Brokilon.

The portal opened wide, and troops in uniform came out of it one after another.

A few guys with strange eyes in the team covered their heads very neatly, and the people next to them supported them very intimately.

Lan pressed his temples, opened his eyes, and saw the smiling druid Mossack and the old butler Ens.
