The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 116 Malice

As long as Histor can lend a helping hand, the crisis in Night Crow City will naturally be nothing to worry about.

"His Royal Highness Historia will not send any more troops."

At this time, Konrad suddenly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The Northern Army is in a state of war in the peak mountain gorge. If His Royal Highness divides troops into Night Crow City, I am afraid that the war will be lost!"

Hearing Conrad's words, Sauron frowned slightly.

As early as a few days ago, he also received news that the Northern Frontier Army led by Hester had already engaged in battle with Galen's Eastern Frontier Army in Fengshan Valley.

Just don't know how.

"How could this be?"

Frost's complexion was slightly pale, and he said, "Didn't His Highness have the support of both the north and the south? How could he lose to Prince Gallon?"

"Just follow my plan."

Sauron shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Knight Konrad, Knight Lanno, after dark, it's up to you!"

Conrad and Lanno looked at each other.

"it is good!"

Lan Nuo's eyes flickered, and the corner of his lips twitched: "I have long wanted to see how strong the blood lion knight Rocas is."

Conrad nodded slightly, but did not reject Sauron's arrangement.

Maester Frost hesitated, but said nothing.

The sun goes down and night falls.

Darkness gradually enveloped the land, and the support from Stormwind City had joined the Western Territory Army, and then attacked Night Crow City without hesitation.

"In such a hurry?"

On the city wall, through Lal's vision, Sauron looked at the mighty Western Territory Army approaching, with a glint of thought flashing in his eyes.

Then he turned away from the city wall.

Under the night, Sauron came to a warehouse in the corner of the city, opened the door, walked in, and saw frozen corpses.

These corpses were soldiers from the western region who died in the siege battle during this period.

"Wake up! Skeleton soldiers!"

The luster in Sauron's eyes flickered, and the bone wand in his hand stopped suddenly.

The magic power spread like a tide.

As the bone wand emitted a dim light, there were bursts of noise in the originally silent warehouse, and the corpses on the ground twisted one after another.

Click!

The next moment, a corpse seemed to be split open, and a white bone skeleton broke out.

Immediately afterwards, more and more white skeletons emerged from the corpses.

Sauron thought about it.

But I saw a skeleton with white bones in the warehouse, and a dark green flame was burning in the skull, which was the soul fire representing the will of the skeleton soldier.

More than 100 white bone skeletons appeared in front of Sauron like an army.

Immediately, Sauron turned and left the warehouse.

A group of bone skeletons followed closely behind. Under the dark night, the clusters of dark green soul flames looked particularly strange.

At the same time, outside Night Crow City.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the western border are attacking the main gate of Ye Crow City. Relying on the advantage of numbers and various large-scale siege equipment, the western border army intends to forcibly capture Ye Crow City.

Behind the Western Frontier Army, a white carriage was parked on a high slope.

Malice stood on it, looking at Night Crow City.

"In such a situation, what choice would you make?"

The corners of Manliss' lips were raised, and a sneer appeared on her face.

This month's siege failed, and she had completely lost patience. No matter how much she paid, she still had to take Night Crow City before dawn.

Relying on the superiority of its troops, it was not difficult for the Western Territory Army to capture Night Crow City, and the only thing worthy of Malice's attention was the wizard apprentice in the city.

Although the other party did not belong to any wizarding organization, he killed Pierre after all. From this alone, it was enough to prove his strength.

On the other side, the south gate of Night Crow City.

Under Sauron's arrangement, Knight Lannuo led an elite cavalry, set off from the south gate, and went straight to attack the rear of the western border army.

As long as the opponent's food and grass are burned, the morale of the western border army will naturally be defeated.

Knight Konrad was left in Night Crow City to defend the city.

As for Sauron himself, he has more important tasks.

Under the dark night, the flames of war spread across the land.

In order to capture Night Crow City, the Western Territory Army used large siege vehicles. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, and the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.

On the side of Night Crow City, relying on the command of the senior knight Konrad, they can hold on for a while.

Sauron and Rannuo split into two groups, fighting towards the rear of the Western Territory Army from different directions.

On the wilderness covered by ice and moon, Sauron walked forward quickly with a white bone wand in his hand.

Above the sky, a strange cry suddenly sounded.

"Discovered?"

Sauron's heart skipped a beat, and a calm gleam flashed in his eyes.

Looking up at the night sky, a vulture is circling in the sky.

In the distance, the figure of Manliss slowly appeared.

"You are Sauron?"

Malice raised her head, looked at the bone wand in Sauron's hand, and said quietly, "That doesn't belong to you!"

Sauron was expressionless.

"Kneel down!"

Manlisi sneered, and said softly: "This is your last chance, surrender to me, and maybe you can fight for a chance to survive."

Before the words fell, a black shadow flashed in vain.

Sauron's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he pulled out the star-breaking cross sword from his waist, intersecting with the attacking long knife, and the piercing sound pierced the night sky.

A figure covered in black robes appeared behind Sauron. The long knife was blocked by the cross sword, but the other party did not retreat at all.

"Dark Soul Wave!"

Sauron uttered syllables, and pointed the wand in the other hand towards the front, and the dark soul wave condensed out, bombarding it like a fireball.

Bang! !

The man in black was directly sent flying, and a large area of ​​corrosion appeared on his chest, which was almost pierced. At the next moment, he stood up slowly.

"Vigilance is good."

Not far away, Manlis frowned, as if she felt a little regretful that she could not kill Sauron because of the sneak attack of the man in black.

At the same time, three men in black robes came out of the darkness.

Without saying a word, they stood behind Malice like sculptures.

"Welch?"

Looking at the figure in the darkness, Sauron's pupils shrank for a while.

Among the men in black robes, Sauron's familiar figure unexpectedly appeared. It was the former Lord of Riverrun, the senior knight Welch.

It's just that, at this moment, Welch's whole body is covered in a black robe, and even his face is covered. If it wasn't for the opponent's body shape and half of his face, Sauron could hardly recognize him.

"What did you do to him?"

Seeing Welch's state, Sauron's heart sank. He couldn't see that the Lord of Riverrun had become Malice's puppet.

"Just make the most of it."

Man Lisi sneered, and said, "Didn't you also control those skeleton soldiers?"

While speaking, Malice clapped her hands.

"kill him!"

Following Malice's cold orders, the four corpse puppets including Welch immediately attacked Sauron.
