From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 306 The Emperor's Order

The Kervirs made trouble when they first arrived?
House's report made the expressions of the four officers of the Freedom Corps change, and they quickly became tense.

Lan En waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, I believe they will handle it by themselves."

Then, completely ignoring the restless attitude of the four officers of the Free Corps, he continued calmly:
"You missed our previous combat meeting, so you may not be very clear about our general policy and strategy. These things will be explained to you by your superiors after you are arranged into the follow-up troops. Let me explain briefly here For your arrangement, you will be split into four parts and join the guerrillas..."

"Wait, wait, Duke Lannister." The bearded Lorenzo suddenly said regardless of his uncomfortable feeling before, "You mean that our establishment will be broken up, and we will go to guerrilla warfare?"

Lane's words were interrupted, which made House frowned suddenly, and with a flick of his arm, he rested on the lion-headed long sword at his waist.

Lan raised his hand to signal House to be calm, and then looked up.The pair of lion eyes without emotion just stared at Lorenzo.

In less than two breaths, Lorenzo couldn't help shifting his gaze. At this moment, he felt like a prey being targeted by a lion.

Then he had no choice but to apologize in the serious eyes of Captain Adam: "... Please forgive my offense, Duke Lannister."

Lan continued to look at Lorenzo with his eyes, and he didn't speak until the other three officers couldn't bear the dull atmosphere and couldn't help asking for mercy:
"As far as I know, there is no such thing as an 'organization' in the Freedom Corps. They are all criminals who have just been released from prison. They have not received unified military training, and they have no time to slowly develop cooperation with the soldiers under my command. The guerrillas It's the best arrangement."

"Suddenly stepping onto the frontal battlefield, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the guerrillas can help you adapt to the battlefield first and improve your cooperation. This is my respect and care for my friends who came from afar."

After saying this, Lan finally lowered his head and turned his gaze back to the documents on the table.The fourth officer of the Liberty Corps suddenly felt the pressure on his body loosen, and the bearded Lorenzo couldn't help but began to breathe heavily.

The female officer Julia and the regiment leader Adam couldn't help but exchanged glances.According to Kevier's rumors, the Duke of Lannister has always existed as a "knight from poetry", but now it seems that his power is no longer at the level of a knight.

They even remembered the former king Istrad Thyssen.

"Thank you for your understanding of the special nature of our army, Duke Lannister." Captain Adam bowed his head towards Lann.

Lane chuckled noncommittally: "Our current guerrillas are mainly divided into three groups. There is a forest guerrilla group and a town guerrilla group in the south of Sintra, and there is also a sea guerrilla group on the Yaruga River. , you will be merged into..."

"Lan, Duke Lannister." Lann was interrupted again, still the bearded Lorenzo, "Our Kavier are all criminals and rebellious. Regarding the splitting of our troops... ..."

With a sound of "clang", House couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward suddenly, and the lion-headed long sword drew an arc of light in mid-air.

Lorenzo was able to become an officer of a mercenary regiment composed of criminals, and there was absolutely no problem with his combat quality.He was prepared when House put his hand on the hilt for the first time, and at this moment he was able to raise the saber in his hand to block it in time.

Even though he was still a little clear-headed, he didn't draw his sword, but tried to force House back with the scabbard.

The other three officers around him retreated one after another. This situation is definitely not the time to help, and even they hope to make this "companion" who has too many bad habits of prisoners suffer a little bit.

They expected that their partners who were good at the battlefield would not suffer a big loss, and that the Duke of Lannister's enemy would not be too embarrassing for their reinforcements.

However, only hearing a "clang", House's speed exceeded their expectations, and he rushed to Lorenz's eyes in just a blink of an eye.

But Lorenz only felt as if a hammer had hit his scabbard, and his raised hands were bent back without any resistance, and then he was wrapped and slapped hard on his chest.

At that moment, I only felt that the entire chest cavity and internal organs were impacted. Lorenzo's entire upper body couldn't bear the severe pain and leaned forward, and suddenly lost the ability to resist.

House was even more impolite when he saw the head sent to the door by the other party. He directly raised his elbow, turned the hilt of the sword and slapped the other side's face hard, watching Lorenzo spin and throw it on the ground, and then He kept spitting out broken teeth and blood.

"Now you can have less opinions." House said coldly.

The room was quiet.

The other three officers of the Freedom Corps looked at House in surprise.

They have high or low military command ability, but their bravery is almost the same.But such an ordinary guard who is not even a knight can make Lorenzo defenseless?
This is not a sneak attack. As early as the guard put his hand on the hilt for the first time, everyone was on guard!

Lan looked at the documents on the table quietly, seemingly indifferent to what happened.

He didn't make a statement, and the others didn't dare to say anything. Only Lorenzo lay on the ground and screamed.

Suddenly there was another noise outside the window, breaking the peace in the room.This time, there were not only angry curses in various dialects, but also screams.

The sounds intensified—especially the screams.

Lan couldn't help frowning, and moved to the balcony.The doors and windows were opened wide, and all sounds suddenly became clearer.

The three remaining officers of the Free Corps looked at each other, seeing Lann's gesture, they couldn't help following up curiously and looking out, and then saw an unforgettable scene——

They thought they would see the mercenaries they brought and the soldiers of Cintra fighting each other, and they were still thinking about how to explain it to Duke Lannister; but the fact is that all Cintra and most of the Kervir They all escaped far away.

There were only two people in the arena, one was a bear-like man, Ged the Demon Hunter.

He single-handedly rushed into the surrounding of a dozen people, and everyone restrained himself from using the handle of the knife, so only fists like raindrops fell on him; he responded with attacks like waves, resisting those fists and feet with ease. Turn over all the people in a small team.

One person overturned a team.This man is not only bear-like in stature and momentum, but also in strength.

The three officers of the Freedom Corps watched helplessly as the opponent continued to look for the next target after piercing through a team.

And if this scene is still within the acceptable range of ordinary people, then the situation on the other side is very horrifying: a giant bear with a body length of three meters sprints among the Kovirs who are still struggling, but shrinks its teeth and claws , like slapping a child, throwing the Kevirs away with a slap bigger than a human head.

The giant bear and the people around it were the main source of these screams.

"Duke Lannister!" Julia exclaimed, "that's, that's..."

"That's the captain and adjutant of the sea guerrilla team. It's also the future boss of one of your teams." Looking at the incoherent little beautiful cat, Lan En said lightly.

After a while, all the Kovir mercenaries who participated in the fight had fallen to the ground, and the rest of the mercenaries looked at each other in blank dismay.

Gerd shook his neck, not paying attention to the massive bruises on his arms.And the giant bear walked up to Gerd's side, and made a sound like fried beans in the stunned eyes of the three officers. It shrank in size and lost its hair, turning into the young man they had seen before.

The three officers opened their mouths wide and were speechless.

House walked slowly to Lann, and explained in a low voice: "A lot of people in the Freedom Corps tried to escape just now, and most of them were executed on the spot after being discovered by Gerd. Then he had a misunderstanding with other mercenaries who didn't know why, so A brawl broke out."

The Freedom Corps is a newly released prisoner. It is not surprising that this kind of thing happened, or it is strange that there are only so few deserters.

Lan nodded: "It seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved now."

Adam nodded in agreement.

"Most of the deserters were executed on the spot, so there are still some left?"

"Yes, my lord."

Lan turned and looked at Adam: "Hand over all the deserters to me for public execution. Hand over the soldiers who participated in the brawl to you, and give me a satisfactory result. Can it be done?"

Adam didn't dare to look into Lan's eyes anymore: "Follow your order."

"After we go back, we can start splitting up the legion. I will let the captains of the three guerrilla teams, including Gerd, come over to pick people, and you each choose a team to join. It just so happens that Colonel Lorenzo needs to heal his injuries for a while, It's evenly distributed."

Adam lowered his head: "All follow your orders."
-
With a "bang", the fiery red portal opened wide.

The sorceress stepped out of it. She had short hair that was unique and wore a gorgeous court low-cut long dress, showing off her charm unscrupulously like all other sorceresses.

It's just that compared with her radiant figure, the expression on her face is much duller and haggard.

Apparently she's not having a very good time these days.

Fringila Vigo sighed, and looked around: the soldiers guarding the long-distance teleportation array all lowered their heads involuntarily after seeing her, but it could be seen that their eyes were secretly looking at her body; Farther away, there is an endless barracks and black sun flags waving everywhere; if you climb a little higher, you can even see the Yaruga River.

"Ms. Wei Ge." An officer who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward, "Please follow me, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Unlike the soldiers, Fringilla Vigo didn't see a trace of respect for magical power in the eyes of the officer in front of her, and even had a trace of diametrically opposite contempt.

She didn't like this kind of look very much. This is just a middle-level officer. Why should she look at a warlock who is strong enough to serve as a royal advisor in the north?
But at this moment Fringilla knew that she was in the Nilfgaardian camp, not the north.So she could only swallow her breath, followed the officer in front of her in big strides into the emperor's study.

She seems to be late, there are already other people here.Fringila looked over one by one, and was surprised to find that all of them were warlocks whose strength was no less than her own:
A gray-haired old man, Shascius.He is the most prestigious and one of the most powerful among all the warlocks in Nilfgaard, especially in astrology and prophecy magic.Fringila knew that he had helped Emhyr, who was still a prince, to lift the curse during the usurper period, so he was rewarded heavily and was highly regarded by the emperor.

A man with a cropped cut, Van Hema.He is best at fire magic, which is regarded as a forbidden technique by northern warlocks. Fire is the most violent power. From this, we can see Van Hema's control over chaotic energy. Fringilla believes that this man's magic power is not inferior to her own.

A sorceress with a red hood and a black cat on her shoulder, Ashleigh Va Anasin.Born in the southernmost province of the Empire, "True Citizens of the Nilfgaardian Empire".

She didn't seem to be in a good mood, because Fringila knew that when her aunt and grandson Casil Mova Difflin Aip Chirak broke into the city of Sintra to pursue Princess Cirila, unfortunately Killed by Lan the Lion.Ashley has been bitter about this.

Fringila was surprised to see so many powerful warlocks at once. Among these people, apart from Shascius who accompanied Emperor Emhyr all the year round, the other two led warlock troops to participate in the Civil War just like herself.

And the one who was able to summon so many warlocks was naturally the emperor of the empire, Emhyr v Enrith, who was surrounded by them like a crescent moon.

"Albrecht is dead."

Before Furingira could salute the emperor, the emperor announced a piece of news in a deep voice.This surprised Fringira again.

Albrecht was also the leader of an army of warlocks.

Afterwards, an attendant handed a piece of information to Fringilla, and another letter.The text on it made Fringila more and more frightened as she looked at it, and she could hardly believe her eyes.

"Duke Darcy... was captured? And the Eastern Bloc... was defeated?"

The emperor turned his back to Fringilla, and nodded noncommittally.

"My warlocks, take another look at this information and tell me what you find out of it."

Ashley, whose aunt's grandson died, is old enough to be the emperor's grandmother, but the sorceress has always been well maintained, and she looks like a lady in her twenties.

She looked at the name that couldn't be avoided in the information, and took a deep breath: "They described Lannister as a divine soldier descended from the sky, with flames and frost, and the ability to teleport..."

"But as far as I know, Lannister is just a demon hunter." Pyromancer Van Hema said, "If the demon hunter is so powerful, then the group of snakes in Gerswald would not be so easy to deal with. gone."

Fringilla sorted out her thoughts, she knew that Lannister was more than just a witcher.She was excited, but now was not the time to show those emotions.

She suppressed her mixed emotions and said: "It is said that Lannister got the help of 'Yennefer of Wengerburg' and 'Triss of Marble', two warlocks at the royal advisory level, and Sintra There is also a Druid at the mentor level as an advisor. If they cooperate with each other..."

"So this is your conclusion? Lannister used the power of magic to achieve such a magical record?"

Emperor Emhyr turned around, and for a moment the warlocks bowed their heads.

It was obvious that Emhyr was just an ordinary person, and his age was surprisingly young compared to the warlocks, but the power carried by the Lord of the Empire made the warlocks feel as if they were really looking directly at the sun.

After a while, they heard the emperor's order.

"I want you all to go to the front with your warlock troops."

"Go to Sintra and Upper Soden, Your Majesty? To protect Duke Werther and Marshal Menno from being assassinated again?"

"No, you only need to go to Soden." Fringila heard the emperor's cold voice, "Go to accept the order of Marshal Mennonite."
