The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 108 1: Alchemy Bomb
"So long?" Sauron frowned slightly.

"It's a blessing to be able to save your life."

Frost lifted off Connard's coat, revealing his scarred chest, and bones could almost be seen on the hideous wound.

Sauron sighed inwardly.

With such a serious injury, it's no wonder that Konrad was unconscious. If it weren't for the strong physique of the senior knight, he might have died by now.

"Give him this to drink."

Sauron took out a white potion.

With such a serious injury, with the abilities of the bachelors, Konrad would have to be in a coma for at least a few days, and Sauron didn't want to wait that long.

He wanted to know the details of what happened in Yueshan City as soon as possible.

"This is?"

Frost took the white potion, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then his heart moved, and he quickly fed the potion to Connard.

Compared with the potions prepared by the bachelors, what Sauron refined was the real potion.

"Cough cough!"

After drinking the white potion, Konrad coughed violently, and then he struggled to open his eyes, his face extremely pale.

"This is..." Connard's eyes flashed a little.

"Night Crow City."

Sauron took a step forward and said softly, "It's safe here, Knight Conrad, do you know how my father is doing now?"

"……do not know."

Connard shook his head, and said hoarsely: "After the explosion in Yueshan City, the Western Territory Army led by Rocas besieged us in the castle."

"Olens attracted a lot of pressure, so I tried my best to escape!"

As he said that, a gloomy look flashed in Konrad's eyes, he shook his head and said, "Rokas must have come prepared for this incident."

"If I'm not wrong, there should be a wizard next to the other party!"

"wizard?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a serious face, "Knight Connard, are you sure that the black figure beside Rocas is a wizard and not an apprentice?"

"Wizard? Apprentice? Is there a difference?" Konrad frowned slightly.

Sauron breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Conrad still couldn't tell the difference between a wizard and an apprentice.

Perhaps in his eyes, those who control extraordinary power are wizards.

"Should be just an apprentice!"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind. If a real wizard appeared in Yueshan City, then Conrad might not have a chance to escape at all.

"By the way, what happened to the explosion?" After pondering for a moment, Sauron asked again.

"It's... an explosion!"

A trace of paleness appeared on Connard's face, recalling the explosion in Yueshan City, he said with a bit of hesitation in his tone: "That should... be the power of a wizard!"

"In just an instant, hundreds of soldiers were wiped out!"

"Even Yueshan City seems to be torn apart. I have seen storms and waves in my life, but that scene is unheard of."

Hearing Conrad's description, Frost took a breath.

He has never heard of something that can kill hundreds of soldiers in an instant. Even a high-ranking knight with strong force will fall into the sea of ​​people when faced with the siege of hundreds of soldiers at the same time. It is not difficult to break through, but if It is not easy to kill them all.

"Alchemy bomb?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and thoughts flickered in his mind. For wizards, it is not impossible to create a big explosion.

In Uris' notes earlier, Sauron saw something called an alchemy bomb.

It was a product of the fusion of witchcraft and alchemy. It might not be as powerful as Sauron's previous technology, but in this era, it was definitely a terrifying thing.

However, even for wizards, alchemy bombs are very precious resources.

In order to deal with the alliance army, the Duke of the Western Territory actually used alchemy bombs, which made Sauron guess that Duke Fels seemed to be very urgent about the unification of the Western Territory.

"Magic Tide!"

Sauron's eyes flickered. Perhaps, the Duke of the Western Territory also learned about the demon tide, so he was so eager to strengthen his own power.

"The Western Border Army will not let it go."

At this time, Konrad on the bed suddenly spoke, and said quietly: "After this battle, the alliance of Night Crow, Run Liu, and Chishui City has collapsed."

"If nothing else happens, Riverrun City and Redwater City will soon be occupied by Rocas."

"And it won't be long before the Western Territory Army will come to Night Crow City. If you want to protect the territory, I am afraid that the only chance is to seek the help of His Royal Highness."

The [-] soldiers gathered by the Three Cities Alliance had suffered heavy casualties after the battle in Yueshan City.

The fall of Chishui City, which has lost its lord, is inevitable, and the situation in Riverrun City is naturally not much better.

Night Crow City is helpless, and if it wants to protect itself, it can only turn to the second princess Hester.

The other party sent Konrad to Night Crow City in the first place, intending to gain a foothold in the Western Territory, and she would not give up unless it was absolutely necessary.

"I understand what you mean."

Sauron nodded slightly, and said, "Next, Knight Konrad should rest well, and I will deal with the rest."

Conrad sighed and said nothing more.

Sauron turned and left, returning to his room.

"Crow Spirit!"

With a thought, he shared his vision with Crow Lal, and then looked down at the land outside the city, not seeing the figure of the Western Territory Army.

It seems that Rocas has just planned the Moon Mountain City incident, and will not attack Night Crow City in a short time.

At the very least, the other side will capture Riverrun City and Redwater City first.

"Malice! Tower of the Dead!"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. Compared with the Western Territory Army and Rocas, the Tower of the Dead and Malice seemed to be more threatening.

Even now, Sauron doesn't know exactly what kind of strength the Tower of the Dead has.

Moreover, Sauron didn't know why the other party wanted to intervene in the Duchy of Tal. Whether it was Malice's personal behavior or the idea of ​​the Tower of the Dead.

But one thing, he is very clear.

Since the Tower of the Dead can train apprentices like Pierre and Malice, it must have extremely powerful influence.

There are even real wizards in this organization.

Thinking of this, a trace of solemnity flashed in Sauron's eyes.

According to the description in Uris' notes, apprentices and wizards are not at the same level. Perhaps some geniuses can defeat third-level apprentices at the second-level apprenticeship stage, but they have never heard of apprentices killing wizards. .

The gap between the two is like that of a child and an adult.

"I don't know what's going on with Orens."

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly. After the first battle in Yueshan City, among the four senior knights of the Alliance Army, only Connard fled back to Yueshan City.

As for Orens, who left behind, his life and death are uncertain.

Although in Sauron's heart, he didn't have much affection for this cheap daddy, but the other party was well-received in Night Crow City.

If he was really killed or captured by the Western Territory Army, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to the sergeants of Night Crow City.
