The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 122 The Great Knight

If one day, Orens or Sauron can become the Lord of the West, it will undoubtedly be a great honor for Frost.

History will always remember that Grand Master Frost once assisted the Lord of the West!
Looking at the excited Frost, Sauron's eyes flashed with thought.

The secret letter sent from Winter City contained many things. In addition to Orens being promoted to the Grand Knight, the other party also expressed his attitude that he wanted to replace the Duke of Ferrs in the western region.

Moreover, Orens has already received the support of Duke Botha.

The [-] ice wolf army in the north will only be used by Orens.

Perhaps it won't be long before Orens, who has been promoted to the Grand Knight, will lead the army back as king, and that also means that war will come again.

In other words, the war never ends!

"Maester Frost."

Sauron put down the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "What is the current strength of Night Crow City?"

"Since the first battle two months ago, our army has also suffered heavy casualties."

Frost pondered for a moment, and said: "The army belonging to Night Crow City has about 3000 people, but more than 2000 of them are militiamen."

"Without much training, the combat effectiveness will not be too high."

"There are only about 800 real fighters, all of whom are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they are absolutely loyal to Night Crow City!"

Speaking, Frost paused, and said again.

"Besides that, there are about 1000 people left in the Northern Support Army under Knight Lanno, and some of them were injured in the war two months ago."

Hearing Frost's narration, Sauron had a thoughtful look on his face.

In the battle two months ago, although Ye Crow City repelled the Western Territory Army and won the war, the casualties were also very heavy.

Almost half of the main force was killed or injured. If it weren't for the fact that Bachelor Frost had ordered people to recruit soldiers in the last two months, there would probably be less than [-] soldiers in Night Crow City today.

Fortunately, there are more than 1000 northern support troops under Lan Nuo's command.

"That is to say, there are about 4000 available soldiers in Night Crow City, and 3000 troops can be mobilized after excluding the [-] guards."

Sauron calculated.

"Uh……"

Frost hesitated, and said, "Isn't it too little to keep only one thousand soldiers guarding the city? If it was the attack of the western border army of the size last time, I'm afraid it would take half a day to break through the city."

"It's okay."

Sauron shook his head, and said: "Although a thousand soldiers is not many, but with the addition of a high-ranking knight, it shouldn't be a problem just to defend the city."

Seeing what Sauron said, Frost stopped persuading him.

Since Orens will lead the army back to the west in the near future, Sauron must cooperate with the other side after the war begins.

The current Duke of Fels controls twelve cities in the western region.

However, among them, Chishui City, Riverrun City, and even Moon Mountain City are only superficially obedient, and many people are very resistant to the rule of Duke Fels in their hearts.

After all, these three cities originally had independent status.

Although he is also nominally a vassal of the Duke of Fiers, he does not need to pay taxes and enjoys many independent rights.

But now it is different.

With the death of the lords of the three cities, the once independent cities, like domestic dogs in collars, have been oppressed and suppressed by the strong means of the Duke of Fels.

If King Orens returns at this time, presumably many people in the three cities will become his supporters and rebel against the Duke of the West under the call of Orens.

Today's Orens is a great knight just like the Duke of Ferrs.

Moreover, there is another difference between the two, that is, Phils is already old, while Orens is at his peak. With the support of Histor and the Duke of the North, he wants to defeat Phils and become the new leader of the Western Region. The duke is not without a chance.

"Then, I will take my leave first."

Maester Frost left the room. After receiving the news that Orens was not dead, he immediately understood that the war would start again soon.

As a night crow city bachelor, it is Frost's responsibility to advise the lord.

In the room, Sauron showed a thoughtful look.

The fact that Orens was promoted to the Great Knight is undoubtedly good news for Night Crow City. Given the character of the opponent, he may lead his army back to the Western Region soon.

The war is coming, Sauron needs to consider many things.

In addition to the army of the Western Territory loyal to the Duke of Ferrs, the threat of the Tower of the Dead has always been the shadow over Sauron's head.

After all, the Tower of the Dead is an organization with wizards.

Although for some reason, the Wizard of the Tower of the Dead did not directly attack Night Crow City, but the existence of the other party brought many threats to Sauron.

Facing the Duke of Fels and the army of the Western Territory, Sauron may consider how to contend.

But if an official wizard attacks, then Sauron's only choice may be to run away. He will not be so stupid as to live and die with Night Crow City.

Although, losing Night Crow City was a great loss for Sauron.

"Perhaps, I should find a way to get in touch with the Star Luo Society!"

A thought flickered in Sauron's mind. In today's Duchy of Tar, the two blood kings who have the strength to compete for the throne are nothing more than Histor and Galen.

And these two people, behind the latter stood the Tower of the Dead.

As for the former, there is a high probability that it has already received the support of the Star Luo Society.

Sauron has been promoted to a third-level apprentice for a while, and his next goal is to raise his spiritual power to the limit and become a quasi-sorcerer.

This is also the only way for every apprentice.

According to Sauron's inheritance, apprentices generally have four levels before being promoted to wizards, and only those who have reached the limit of their spiritual power are eligible to be called quasi-sorcerers.

Relying on the help of the proficiency system, Sauron improved his mental power very quickly.

In less than a year, his mental strength has reached 7.4, which is not far from the limit of 8 points.

Before the war came, Sauron planned to be promoted to quasi-witch first.

Anyway, with the proficiency system, as long as he can meditate as much as possible, the growth of mental power is a matter of course, and Sauron is not worried about it.

After being promoted to a quasi-sorcerer, Sauron's strength will increase again.

"In addition to this, the realm of knights should also be carefully considered."

Sauron stroked his chin. With the help of the proficiency system, he had raised the five breathing techniques to the limit, and he had already been promoted to a senior knight.

However, if you want to become a great knight, you still need more efforts.

According to Sauron's understanding, if a high-level knight wants to be promoted to a great knight, he often needs to go through life and death. In the history of the Tar Principality and even the Lost Continent, almost every great knight has gone through life and death before breaking through his own realm.

In other words, if a high-level knight wants to be promoted to a great knight, he must die and survive.

However, this was a stupid choice for Sauron. With the proficiency system, he didn't need to go through life and death to break through the realm.

　I have finished my work at home, and I will resume updating today. I hope you will support me a lot.
