From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 382 Preparation, start

For Lann, contracting a high-level vampire contract is far more convenient than other creatures.

Because Lan can beat them without any scruples until they "completely" lose their sense of resistance.

After all, the brain and body were all broken into pieces, and it didn't look like he was conscious.

Dettlaff and Oriana were just shocked by the way Lan smashed the three vampires into pieces with ease. The next second, they saw Lan lighting up the emerald light on the three vampires, restoring them to their original state in an instant. .

They were breathing a little heavy.What do the Sons of Ancients want?Shall we restore these three guys and then smash them again?

Lann didn't know the psychological activities of Dettlaff and Orianna, so he just looked at the panel and nodded.Each vampire only spent over a hundred experience points, neither too much nor too little. Considering the situation of forced contract, it was relatively economical.

Considering the nature of these three people, Lann really wouldn't dare to drive them if he didn't take them under his command in the form of a contract.

And even if they were imprinted on their minds with contracts, their true nature would still be hard to change, and Lan would only give them dirty work in the future.

There is also a gap between high-level vampires and high-level vampires.

……

On the other side, Philippa and the other three woke up in panic from the ground.

They groped around randomly and were stunned for a moment after finding that they were unscathed. Then they moved away from Lann faster than the sneak attack and shrank into the corner of the room.

His eyes began to become clear.

In the eyes of Dettlaff and Ofiana, these were just two people of the same race who were defeated by Lann.

Lan sat back down on the sofa leisurely, as if nothing happened just now.

He poured himself a glass of Dongzhidong wine: "Where were we talking about just now, the three lords of Nilfgaard?"

Philippa's eyes kept switching between scarlet and dark, as if a big hand was holding his brain.

After three breaths, he lowered his head: "Let us join your command."

"No, you made a condition, remember?"

Lann said with a cold face: "Say it."

Philippa's breathing became rapid and her teeth chattered.

After a long time, he hesitated and tried: "We request... to obtain the power of the ancient blood?"

Lan En nodded with a smile: "And I have given it to you now, do you feel it?"

"Yes." The three vampires seemed to have received amnesty and completely possessed Lan. "Your generosity makes us ashamed. What orders do you have for us now?"

The three unruly Nilfgaardian vampires were all wilted. Witnessing all this, Dettlaff and Orianna naturally had no more thoughts.

Since then, five high-level vampires have joined Lan's command.

But Lane had no intention of taking them all back.

"Orianna and Dettlaff continue to stay in Toussaint, which is the principality closest to the north in the south. If we want to counterattack, this is the first stop." Lann ordered, "You must run your business well here. The forces are always ready to cooperate with my actions."

The two vampires bowed their heads in agreement.

Then Lann looked at Philippa and the other three: "As for you - I have placed insiders in Nilfgaard. You will join their camp and follow their commands."

"……Understood."

"Also, give this letter to Fringilla Vigo." Lan flipped through his left hand and took out an envelope, "Tell her that we can start."
-
The original Blochlon Forest is now the independent kingdom of Blochlon.

This can be said to be the most special kingdom on the continent, not only because of the peculiar race of the people here, but also the unique "system" here.

Although it is a kingdom, it has almost no diplomacy with the surrounding areas, and there is no construction at all within the territory. The only role of the "Independent Kingdom" is to provide citizenship to the dryads in politics and give Queen Aisna the right to vote in the Northern Alliance.

Just like the "Province of Brochlon" that outsiders ridicule, this so-called independent kingdom is basically a vassal of Cintra.

Since Lann confirmed the existence of his three children here and the tree spirit clan completely surrendered, Sintra's loggers, miners, scholars, and herbalists have entered the forest in large numbers, and the mining of this area is coveted by the four surrounding countries. Treasures that have lasted for hundreds of years.

The resources here are indeed worthy of the long-term covetousness of the surrounding kings.Three years have passed, and the people of Sintra have not even explored the resources on the outskirts of the forest.

However, the forest does not completely belong to Sintra. There is still a line of defense drawn deep in the forest to prevent humans from going deep.

It was not the dryads who drew this line, but Lann.

A bright emerald light lit up in the oak land, and the dryads standing guard immediately gathered around this dazzling spot like the sun, bending down and saluting Lan as soon as he revealed his figure.

"Your Majesty Lann." They used the honorific title of the human kingdom.

"Where's Aisna?"

"Together with the three princesses, we are communicating in the territory you assigned to the unicorns."

Lan nodded slightly: "Take me there."

The honey-haired tree spirit in front of him shouted in agreement, and other guides immediately arrived.

Lann waved his hand to summon the black wind, stroked his mane and got on his horse.

The branches in the forest are constantly receding in sight, and Black Wind's leaping ability has agility in the forest that is not inferior to that of a feline predator.

But suddenly, the war horse's body shook violently, and it began to freeze in a state of preparation for war.

There was a melodious roar coming from deep in the jungle.

"It's okay, Black Wind." Lann patted the war horse's neck, "These are new friends, you will like them."

Hei Feng snorted and was noncommittal.

Their movements had long been known, and the trees in front of them suddenly moved away as if they had a consciousness of their own, revealing the scene inside.

This is a tributary led from the Spring of Brochlon. Compared with the spring treasured by the queens, there is only a slight fluctuation of magic power in it.

Lan En might not be able to extract a single skill point if he absorbed all the spring water here.

But the unicorns particularly like this place. They sit in groups and drink by the water. No matter what color their fur is, it is as bright as fluorescence under the reflection of the sunlight and spring water.From time to time, a unicorn would lower its head, and the long horn on its forehead would create a stream of circulation in the spring water.

With a "crash", a girl about seven years old suddenly emerged from the water, causing the unicorn that was casting a spell to neigh.

But then the unicorn calmed down again, showing a helpless expression as if it had been pranked, and started playing with the girl.

Heifeng's eyes moved left and right, and he was stunned for a while.

"Go play." Lann chuckled.With a slap on the horse's butt, he watched the other party disappear before his eyes like a wind.

The figure of the Elf Queen appeared from behind Lann: "The tribe likes the new friend you brought back very much, Your Majesty Lann."

Her twig-like fingers pointed to the spring in the distance, and two other girls broke out of the spring like the previous girl and joined in the play with the unicorn.

The spring water seemed to surround them consciously, actively becoming a toy; even the brightness of the sunlight filtering through the canopy was adjusted to enhance the atmosphere. "Children particularly like unicorns, and playing with unicorns also helps them grow in strength." Eisna whispered, and pointed to the spring, trees, and sunshine not far away, "The whole thing Every forest is nourishing them."

"That's why I left them here." Lann said expressionlessly, "otherwise I would have taken them back to Cintra."

Aisna smiled and said: "You always make the wisest choice. Did you come specifically to see the children today?"

"No, I'm here to find you." Lann shook his head and turned his gaze, "I'm also here to find it."

In the misty light of the dense forest, the unicorn leader with shoulder height as high as Lan emerged, with the color of the full moon.

It lowered its head slightly, and Lan raised his hand to hold the long horn on the unicorn's forehead.

This was Lan's permission.

The next second, a clear spring of consciousness flowed into his mind.

[Blood of the Ancients, you are here. ] The unicorn leader's eyes were deep, [Is it now? 】

"Yes, everything starts from now." Lann nodded, "I need you to select some tribesmen to return to the Land of Armor, and then select one tribesman to go to our human Nilfgaard Empire. All links are planned. Act like that."

[When are you going to launch a general attack? 】

"Not now, take your time." Lann reassured, "It will take some time for my arrangement on the other side to have sufficient effect, and you can't be too hasty in the Land of Armor Wood, otherwise the elves will not Fooled.”

The unicorn leader hesitated slightly, then nodded in affirmation.

[You humans know better about this, I listen to you. 】

[Then I will personally take my people back to the Land of Armored Wood.If I want to open the kind of portal you want, I will need ten tribesmen to join me. 】

"You arrange your own quota. I will mobilize my power to help you open the way back later."

The unicorn leader lowered his head, [If I fail to come back, please keep your promise and take care of the rest of my tribe. 】

Lan's expression became serious: "You have my promise, and I will keep my promise."

The unicorn leader closed his eyes, and then let out a long roar.

The group of unicorns by the spring suddenly caused a commotion.

The unicorn leader's body felt ripples, and he began to communicate with his tribe telepathically.

This obviously took a while, so Lan turned to look at the Dryad Queen.

……

"The matter between me and it is over for the time being, and the next thing is between me and you."

Aisna smiled knowingly and turned around to give Lann the direction.

They left the gathering place specially designated for unicorns and returned to the center of the forest.

Come to the real Fountain of Blochlon.

This isn't Lane's first time here.When Mossak was injured before, Lann came here to find him and obtained the [Sword of the Lake Lady].

The Lake Fairy has been staying here since Toussaint left. When she felt Lan's arrival, the "goddess" that all knights in the continent dreamed about slowly rose from the lake and bowed slightly towards Lan.

She was still dressed in a "natural style" that was even more thorough than that of the dryad. The wet hair, the water droplets condensed on the skin, and the shining and winding curves in the sun couldn't help but make people dizzy.

Fortunately, Lan En had already been well-informed and determined, and his face remained unchanged even when he saw the scenery that looked like an oil painting.

"You know the purpose of our coming here." Lann went straight to the point without any foreshadowing.

"Of course. Your will can always be fulfilled, Ancient Blood."

The fairy in the lake opened her arms, and the light in the forest was suddenly absorbed by her at this moment.Every drop of water on her body burst out with light like the sun at this moment, making her posture as holy and flawless as an angel.

The spring water rose slowly under her feet and condensed above everyone's heads, forming a floating water curtain like a mirror.

After losing its water source, the original Blochlon Spring began to dry up, revealing what was underneath—

——That's another spring.

That is the fountain within the fountain, the true essence of Brochlon.The moment it appears, the light spots on the fairy in the lake tend to be attracted by it.

Since the tree spirit clan completely surrendered to Lann, the resources of Brokilon Forest have also been completely allocated by Lann, including Brokilon Spring Water.

Lann contacted warlocks, druids, and doctors, and combined with the unique healing spells of the dryads, he has been using the Spring of Brokilon to develop new treatment methods.

In addition, the most important function of this spring water for Lan is naturally to absorb skill points.

There was a lake fairy who could control the water flow here, so Lan asked her to collect the tributaries scattered throughout the forest over the years and extract the essence.After ensuring the sustainable use of the spring water in the future and retaining the treatment quota for future war wounded, all the remaining spring water was turned into the most concentrated magic carrier.

At this moment, under the control of the fairy in the lake, the spring within the spring turned into a crystal ribbon and floated towards Lan En.Lann stretched out his fingertips and touched it slightly, and a soft coolness suddenly filled his heart.

The system also sounded a continuous beep like a strobe.

【Discover the source of magic power】

【Discover the source of magic power】

【Discover the source of magic power】

【Discover the source of magic power】

【…】

Lan took a deep breath and completely let go of control over himself.

The system's flashing frequency is even more manic, but this time the prompts have become almost endless [Skill Points +1]

Lan let out a sigh of relief.

With these skill points, no matter how many apprentices the Demon Hunter Order trains, there will be no one left behind.

Your own plans can also be fully rolled out.
-
On May 1269, 5, King Lann Lannister Leanne of Cintra, as the "Grand Master of the Witcher Order", announced to the entire North that the first batch of apprentices of the Witcher Order would be trained. Completed, all kingdoms and cities that have established witcher stations in the early stage will be able to obtain "witcher support" and be garrisoned by witchers.At the same time, other individuals are also welcome to send various requests to the headquarters of the Witcher Order in Sintra.

On May 1269, 5, all the dwarf races in Nilfgaard rioted. All dwarves began to sell their properties and shares at low prices, disrupting the market.When Nilfgaard officials came forward, they found that dwarves from all industries in the territory had evacuated Nilfgaard in an organized manner.

On May 1269, 5, Nilfgaard's attempt to control the market within its territory failed.They discovered that it seemed to be a conspiracy.

On June 1269, 6, an economic crisis broke out in the Nilfgaardian market, and even the troops fighting on the front line began to be affected.

On June 1269, 6, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Alliance, Lann Lannister Rhianlen, appeared on the front line, announcing the end of the five-month strategic stalemate, and personally commanded the Northern Alliance forces to launch a general attack on the south.

On June 1269, 6, Nilfgaard was defeated, and the northern coalition launched a counterattack against Toussaint.
