The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 134 The Eve of the Great War
But for Sauron, even if he uses the life seed, his vitality will not be overdrawn.

Because he had already embarked on the journey of a wizard, he had magic power in his body, and using magic power to drive the runes was the real choice.

Magic power can be restored, but vitality is different!
"It's just a personal preference."

Sauron said casually, he would not tell Lan Nuo that he was looking for the breathing method for cultivation, but for collection.

Lan Nuo shrugged, and then a trace of seriousness appeared on his face.

"Right, one more thing."

He took out a letter from his pocket and said in a deep voice, "I just received the news that Lord Orens has successfully captured Yueshan City."

"The next goal is Iron Armored City!"

"It's an important place in the western region, and it's also the barrier of Stormwind City. Duke Fels will not allow it to be breached. Now he has summoned the army and went to Iron Armored City in person!"

Hearing Lan Nuo's words, Sauron's heart skipped a beat.

After receiving the letter paper from Lan Nuo, he scanned it quickly, thinking flashed in his eyes, and thoughts flickered in his heart.

"Is this a showdown?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly. According to the information on the letter, Duke Fels had already gone to Iron Armored City and gathered an entire army of [-].

It seems that the news of the fall of Yueshan City has completely enraged Phils.

The opponent assembled an army of [-], intending to take advantage of their own advantage and decide the outcome in Iron Armored City to completely end the war.

The meaning of Orens' letter is to let Sauron go to Iron Armored City as soon as possible.

This battle will determine the fate of the entire Western Territory. No matter Orens or Fiers, both sides are already fighting with all their strength.

"What are you going to do?" Lan Nuo asked on the opposite side.

"How many troops are there in Hongye City?"

Sauron didn't speak, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Since Orens and Fers will have a decisive battle in Ironclad City, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent.

It just so happened that he has now been promoted to a quasi-witch.

He planned to gather the forces of Maple Leaf City and White Valley City, go to Iron Armored City to support them, and at the same time meet the Transcendents from the Tower of the Dead.

The Battle of Ironclad City was crucial to Phils.

It is impossible for the Tower of the Dead not to intervene, but the person who comes will not be an official wizard, because the official wizard of the Tower of the Dead is now in the peak mountain valley area.

The battle in Iron Armored City is related to the future of the western region, but the battle in Fengshan Valley will determine the fate of the entire Tar Principality.

"Up to 2000 people."

Lan Nuo also understood Sauron's thoughts, and pondered: "However, we have just captured Hongye City. Although those soldiers surrendered, they may not surrender sincerely."

"Take this group of descendants to Iron Armored City, aren't you afraid of their rebellion?"

As he said that, Lan Nuo looked thoughtful, and said, "The possibility of ordinary soldiers defecting in battle is not high. I am afraid that those knight-level commanders will defect at a critical moment."

"After all, the people they were loyal to before were all the Duke of Fiers!"

Sauron nodded slightly, fully approving Lan Nuo's worries.

"How about this, you help me summon all the knight-level officers from Hongye City!"

Sauron pondered for a moment, and made a decision in his heart. It was impossible to make those who surrendered sincerely submit in a short time.

Therefore, he intends to use an easier way.

Scorpion Water Potion!

Using that thing to control the knights in Red Leaf City is Sauron's only choice at present.

"Ok."

Lan Nuo nodded, then turned and left, summoning all the knights who surrendered in Hongye City to the castle hall.

A dozen or so knights looked at Sauron anxiously.

"Everyone, since you are sincerely surrendering, then drink this thing."

Sauron didn't talk nonsense, and distributed cups of scorpion water potions to everyone, and looked at them expressionlessly from behind.

"This……"

The knights of Red Leaf City glanced at each other, feeling a little uneasy, staring at the scorpion water potion in their hands, but did not drink it for a long time.

"My lord, since we have surrendered, we will never break our oath."

After a while, a middle-aged knight gritted his teeth and said, "If you insist on not trusting us, why don't you exile us from the city?"

Hearing the man's words, Sauron sneered.

The next moment, he raised his hand, and a cloud of black mist surged away, heading straight for the middle-aged knight, tearing his chest open with sharp claws.

"what!!!"

Accompanied by the man's miserable screams, his chest was torn open, blood gushed out like a fountain, and a heart was dug out.

Around, the expressions of the other Red Leaf City knights changed drastically.

"Dead... Undead!!"

Looking at the distorted wraith in mid-air, everyone couldn't hide the fear in their eyes, and they all wanted to escape, but they saw another wraith, which had already blocked the door.

The tyrant Bacal held a warhammer and blocked the door of the hall.

"To drink or not to drink, you decide for yourself."

Sauron said in a cold voice, the war in Ironclad City is about to start, he has no time to waste time with these Red Leaf City prisoners.

Sensing Sauron's icy gaze, the knights of Red Leaf City could only drink the scorpion water potion.

"Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to me, nothing will happen."

A slight smile appeared on Sauron's face, and he said quietly: "However, if someone is double-faced, then I can't blame me for being gutted in the future!"

The knights of Red Leaf City bowed their heads one after another, but their hearts were full of sadness.

They had seen Sauron's methods before, and remembering those ancient rumors about wizards, no one dared to rebel.

Then, Sauron gave an order to let them go back and assemble the army.

The next day, early morning.

Under the leadership of Knight Ranno, three thousand soldiers marched towards Ironclad City, while Sauron returned to White Valley City to assemble the army in the same way.

Compared with Hongye City, Baigu City has more troops.

In addition to the 3000 people who belonged to Night Crow City, White Valley City also gathered 3000 people, and a total of [-] soldiers marched towards Iron Armored City.

It didn't take much time for the two armies to join Orens successfully.

"Father!"

After a few months, Sauron saw Orens again in a huge tent. Compared with before, the appearance of the other party hadn't changed much, but his aura had changed.

That is the coercion that belongs only to the great knight!
"You did a good job in the previous war!"

Orens looked at Sauron, and a sigh flashed in his eyes. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Swain family will be proud of you!"

Sauron nodded, and then asked about the situation of the war.

Since Orens returned with his army, in less than half a month, he has captured three cities in a row. Although he lost part of the ice wolf army, he also added more troops.

Today, under Orens' command, there are already 1 troops.

As for this army, apart from the main force coming from the north, most of the remaining soldiers were conscripted from the three cities of Yueshan.
