The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 112 Snow Night
"Why don't you see Knight Konrad?"

Lan Nuo looked around, but he couldn't see the steel heart knight.

"Knight Konrad was injured in the previous battle in Yueshan City, so he is not in good condition and is resting now." Frost replied with a smile.

Of course, this is just one reason.

In fact, Conrad didn't attend tonight's banquet because he didn't like the White Wolf Knight.

"Ah!"

Hearing Frost's answer, Lan Nuo sneered, and said with a slight sarcasm in his tone: "It seems that Knight Connard is really old."

"He was slightly injured and hid every day. I didn't know he thought he was scared out of his wits by the Western Territory Army."

"In my opinion, he will never have a chance to be promoted to the Great Knight realm in his life."

Seeing Lan Nuo's disdainful expression, Sauron frowned slightly.

"Haha, Knight Lano, I would like to toast you." Frost didn't pay attention, and raised his glass with a smile, expressing his gratitude to Lano for supporting Night Crow City again.

"correct."

Lan Nuo took a sip, and suddenly asked, "What's the situation with Night Raven Knight?"

"There is no news about Lord Orens yet."

Frost shook his head and sighed: "Since the end of the First Battle of Moon Mountain City, Lord Orens and part of the Night Crow City army under his command have disappeared."

"However, I believe that with Lord Orens' strength, nothing will happen easily!"

There was a flash of determination in Frost's eyes.

"Missing?"

Lan Nuo frowned, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I wanted to experience the strength of the knights of the western region, but now it seems that I have no chance."

Among the many high-level knights in the western region, Orens is definitely one of the most powerful. The name of Night Crow Knight is known even to people as far away as the king's capital.

The white wolf knight Lannuo became famous when he was young, and he was considered a legend in the northern border, but the knight who taught him when he was young was once defeated by Orens.

Therefore, Lan Nuo really wanted to see how strong Night Crow Knight was.

"Your Excellency Lan Nuo wants to challenge the Knights of the Western Region, and there will be a chance in the future."

Sauron said softly: "Now, the Western Territory Army led by Blood Lion Knight Rokas is less than ten miles away from Night Crow City."

"If there are no accidents, when the snow stops tonight, the Western Territory Army will launch an attack on Night Crow City. Please, Your Excellency Lan Nuo, get ready."

"Blood Lion Knight Rocas?"

Lan Nuo's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of eagerness on his face, and he said: "This is also a master, if there is a chance, I can learn it."

Sauron felt weird for a while.

It seems that this white wolf knight, Lan Nuo, is also a battle madman, but he doesn't know the specific strength.

Under the night, flakes of snow fell.

On the wilderness ten miles away from Night Crow City, [-] Western Territory troops camped out, and the blood lion knight Rocas stood on a high slope on horseback.

He looked at Night Crow City, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

In the sky, snowflakes fell, covering Rocas's body with a layer of white, but the next moment, with the release of a burst of grudge, the snowflakes on his body turned into steam one after another.

"My lord, the scout has returned."

From the rear, a commander stepped forward and said, "According to reliable sources, the support from the northern border has arrived in Night Crow City, led by the white wolf knight Lan Nuo himself!"

"Lano? That arrogant brat?"

Rocas frowned slightly, and said with a sneer, "The Duke of Botha in the northern region is really getting older and more confused. He knows that Histor is at war with Prince Galen, yet he dares to send troops to support Night Crow City."

"It seems...not an order from Duke Botha."

The commander hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Princess Histor is determined to support Night Crow City, so she even rejected Duke Botha's suggestion."

Rocas frowned, nodded and said, "If that's the case, it fits Hester's domineering character very much!"

As he said that, Rocas flashed a hint of sarcasm, and said quietly: "However, she won't be arrogant for long, and when Prince Gallon and Miss Manliss' arrangement is completed, she will be at the end of her rope."

Then Rocas turned around.

"Pass down the order, and wait until dawn, no matter whether the snow stops or not, we will launch a strong attack and try to take Night Crow City in one go."

"...Yes, my lord."

A trace of hesitation flashed in the commander's eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Today is the freezing winter. As the siege army of the Western Regions, if they want to capture Night Crow City after the snow, they must pay a higher price.

The commander really wanted to remind Rocas of this point, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was meaningless. As the commander of the Western Territory Army, Rocas would not make such a low-level mistake.

Perhaps, the other party just felt that as long as they could take Night Crow City, they would not hesitate to pay some price. If they took Night Crow City before thirteen months of this year, the Western Territory would usher in a unification.

This will be a historic event, and all participants will be remembered by the times!

At the same time, the rear of the Western Territory Army.

In the warm tent, candles illuminated the surroundings brightly. On the snow-white blanket, Malice sat cross-legged and meditating.

Tatata!
There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Manlis slowly opened her eyes.

"Has the snow stopped?"

Seeing Rocas walking into the tent, Malice asked quietly.

"not yet."

Rocas shook his head and said: "However, I have sent an order that after dawn, regardless of whether the snow stops or not, the army will attack Night Crow City."

"Although doing so may cause more casualties to soldiers, I think everything is worth it as long as I can take Night Crow City."

Manliss nodded slightly, a trace of indifference flashed in her eyes.

She didn't care how many soldiers were killed or wounded.

For Malice, the only existence worth caring about in Night Crow City is Sauron, the lifeless wizard apprentice.

"How dare you reject the Tower of the Dead."

Man Lisi's eyes flickered, and she said quietly: "I will make you pay for your actions!"

Rocas remained silent. Seeing that Manlis did not veto her siege, she bowed to salute and left the camp.

The sky in the distance was slightly white, and when the first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced the darkness, the heavy snow that had fallen all night finally stopped.

The brilliance of dawn, sprinkled on the white snow, reflected the sky and the earth in a blazing white.

Woo! !

With the sound of a long horn, the blood lion knight Rocas raised his long sword, and behind him, the western army marched towards the night crow city.

On the city wall, Sauron looked calm.

"It seems that Rocas is definitely going to win Night Crow City!"

Beside, Frost sighed.

It was obviously an unwise choice for any army to attack the city after a heavy snowfall.

However, the Western Territory Army still has no hesitation.

Judging from this point alone, it is enough to prove that Rocas is determined to capture Night Crow City.
