The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 109 Persuade to surrender
The brilliance of dawn pierces the darkness like a sharp sword piercing the earth.

Western Territory, Night Crow City.

Ten days have passed since the defeat of the Alliance Army, and news of the fall of Redwater City and Riverrun City has also spread to Night Crow City.

The Western Territory Army led by the blood lion knight Rocas headed straight for Night Crow City.

On this day, in the castle.

Sauron stood by the window and looked into the distance. Through the vision of the crows flying in the sky, he looked down at the barren land outside Night Crow City.

For the time being, there is no trace of the Western Territory Army, but Sauron knows that after Riverrun City and Redwater City, the war will inevitably come to Night Crow City in a short time.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door behind him, and Frost walked in. The elderly bachelor's face was pale, and his expression was a bit dignified.

"Is there still no news?" Sauron frowned slightly.

"The scouts sent out have come back one after another."

Frost shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, there is no news about Lord Orens. We only know that after the battle in Yueshan City, he and some of the alliance forces disappeared."

A trace of thought appeared on Sauron's face.

The scouts sent outside did not bring back any news about Orens, but this is not a bad thing. After all, there is no news about Orens, which means that the other party did not die in the battle of Yueshan City, and there was no news about Orens. Become a prisoner of the Western Frontier Army.

"What about the northern border?" Then Sauron asked again.

"His Royal Highness has promised to send troops to support us."

A flash of excitement flashed in Frost's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Two thousand soldiers were sent from the northern border, led by the white wolf knight Lan Nuo to go to Night Crow City."

"Have you dispatched troops yet?"

Sauron's heart moved. Since the Yueshan City incident happened ten days ago, he has sent a signal for help to the northern border and Histor.

After learning about Yueshan City, Histor finally decided to send troops to support Night Crow City.

However, the other party is leading a large number of northern border troops to fight Prince Gallon's eastern border army in the peak mountain valley area.

Therefore, the support that the northern border can send is only [-] soldiers at most.

This batch of support may not be enough to help Sauron defeat the Western Territory Army, but it is almost enough to defend Night Crow City, especially with the help of the senior knight Lannuo.

"Lano."

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. He had heard about this White Wolf Knight for a long time. Compared to Steel Heart Knight Conrad, Lan Nuo was younger.

It is said that Lan Nuo is just 30 years old.

Being able to become a high-level knight at this age means that in the future, the opponent has a high probability of trying to hit the realm of a great knight.

"When will the northern army arrive?" Sauron asked after pondering for a moment.

"About three or four days."

Frost pondered for a moment, and said: "The army led by Knight Lano is starting from the direction of White Rock City. It is winter now, and the marching speed will not be too fast."

"okay, I get it."

Sauron nodded, and suddenly said: "By the way, how is the situation of Knight Konrad?"

"Healed well."

There was a hint of admiration on Frost's face, and he said: "Thanks to the potion you refined, it has only been ten days since such a serious injury, and Knight Konrad can walk on the ground."

Sauron nodded slightly, his eyes sparkling.

In the battle of Yueshan City, Konrad was seriously injured, but with the help of potions, the opponent's condition is gradually recovering.

After Frost left, Sauron had a thought.

The imprints on the wrist twisted for a while, and wraiths like clouds of black mist came out one after another, and the temperature of the room instantly became a little colder.

Four wraiths floated ahead.

Sauron looked at the four wraiths, three of which belonged to Pierre originally, but are now controlled by him with the spirit control rune.

Tyrant Bacal, Dark Blade Hughes, Fire Ghost Brand!

This is Sauron's name given to the three wraiths. Among them, Bakal, who holds a warhammer, is the most powerful. The other party was a powerful knight from the Swamp Principality. He set off a rebellion decades ago, but was finally defeated. Suppress it.

And Bakar himself was also beheaded for public display!
Somehow, Pierre took Bakal's soul and refined it into a servant of the dead.

As for the Dark Blade Xius, he was an assassin during his lifetime, and he came from the oldest organization in the Lost Continent, the Fanged Snake Shadow. He lost his life in the process of assassinating Pierre, and was later refined into a spirit body, permanently protected by Pierre. slavery.

Compared with the tyrant Bacal and Darkblade Hughes, the background of Fire Ghost Brand is much smaller.

The other party was just an ordinary person before his death, and his innate mental power was different from ordinary people, so he had the qualifications to become a wizard.

However, when the Tower of the Dead found Brand, he was already 40 years old.

At such an age, even with wizard talent, there is not much training value, so it is handed over to Pierre.

At that time, Pierre had just been promoted to a third-level apprentice.

In order to refine the servant of the undead, Pierre locked Brand in a cage, and after half a year of torture, he burned him to death.

The extremely painful experience made Brand become a wraith, and awakened the talent of controlling flames.

In addition to Pierre's three wraiths, Sauron also controls another wraith, which is Gwen, who has just awakened his talent.

When Sauron first conquered Gwen, the other party was just a ghost.

But after such a long time of devouring, Gwen also grew into a wraith, and awakened an ability similar to control.

Qiansi!

Gwen, who has grown into a wraith, can control the growth of hair and bind the enemy like spider silk, which has a great effect in battle.

Flutter and rinse!
Just as Sauron was checking the status of the four wraiths, a vulture suddenly flew outside and landed on the platform above the castle.

The vulture stared at Sauron, with a gleam of humanity in his eyes.

"Lal!"

Sauron frowned slightly, as if sensing something, ordered Lal to catch the vulture.

The crow Lal, who has been taking the potion for a long time, has grown to the size of an eagle at this moment, and immediately pounced on the vulture after receiving Sauron's order.

The sharp claws, like blades, suddenly poked towards the vulture.

However, at this moment.

The vulture spread its wings, flexibly dodged Lal's attack, and then twisted its body, turning into a dwarf man.

"Hello, Your Excellency Sauron."

The dwarf man stood on the platform, bowed to Sauron, smiled and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Miss Manlis's servant Littlefinger."

"Malice?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "She sent you to Night Crow City, is she planning to send you to death?"

"You misunderstood, Your Excellency Sauron."

Littlefinger didn't panic, but still smiled and said, "I'm Miss Malice's envoy, and I want to discuss something with you."

"Can you open the window first and let me go in and talk? It's too cold in winter, and the cold wind outside is almost freezing me to death."
