The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 32 Mining Area
Pfft!
The next moment, the middle-aged knight fell to the ground, protecting the plate armor all over his body, but failed to block Sauron's sharp sword.

"As expected of the son of Orens!"

Next to him, a sigh flashed in Konrad's eyes, even he didn't expect that this confrontation between knights would end so quickly.

In Connard's view, there was not much difference in strength between Sauron and the middle-aged knight.

However, Sauron's swordsmanship was much better than that of the middle-aged knight. Even if he got closer, the opponent was no match at all.

In just one round of confrontation, the middle-aged knight had already been killed.

Connard's eyes flickered, and he was very calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent, and he also recalled some old events in his mind.

Involuntarily, he raised his hand to stroke his chest.

The sword wound from many years ago was painful, and a gloomy look appeared on Konrad's face, and he suddenly pulled out the cross sword and galloped forward.

"Mr. Conrad?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Sauron's face.

For some unknown reason, Konrad made a sudden move and went straight to the front, slaughtering the soldiers of Baigu City like a god of death descending into the world.

With the addition of senior knights, the war became one-sided in an instant.

In less than half an hour, the soldiers of Baigu City who were ambushing around were already defeated. Sauron also took this opportunity to eliminate all the archers in the surrounding heights.

Soon, everything was calm.

The knights on the side of Baigu City were all beheaded, and the soldiers fled in all directions. If it was too late, they could only put down their weapons to express their surrender.

In the distance, Konrad retracted the cross sword.

After the killing just now, his inner emotions were released a little bit, and he regained his cold expression, standing silently by the side, not knowing what he was thinking.

Afterwards, Sauron ordered his Akabane guards to control the surrendered soldiers of Baigu City.

Immediately afterwards, he led the people towards the depths of Lighthouse Town.

"Are you... Master Sauron?"

In a warehouse similar to a prison, Sauron saw a group of prisoners, and one of the bald men seemed to recognize Sauron.

"You are?" Sauron frowned.

"Master Sauron, I am Nado!"

The bald man became excited all of a sudden, and said, "I am Lord Kailo's entourage. I had the honor to meet you and Lord Orens in Night Crow City before!"

Hearing the bald man mention Kailo, Sauron's heart moved.

Immediately, he ordered someone to open the prison and release all the prisoners inside. It seemed that these people were all loyalists of the Swain family.

After Baigu City captured Lighthouse Town, some people were suppressed into prisoners.

However, among this group of people, Sauron didn't see Cavalier Kailo, so he asked Nado what was going on.

"It's all those hateful Baigu people!"

Thinking of his experiences these days, Nado gritted his teeth, and then told Sauron about what happened after Baigu City occupied Lighthouse Town.

It turned out that Baigu City launched an attack on Night Crow City a month ago.

Due to losing the protection of Orens, Night Crow City didn't last long, and was soon breached, and then Lighthouse Town was also attacked.

As Orens' diehard loyalist, Cavalier Kylo resisted vigorously.

However, his strength was limited after all. After holding on for two days, Dengta Town also fell, and the soldiers of Baigu City occupied it.

After the defeat, Kailo Knight was unwilling to surrender.

Baigu City did not execute him, but sent Kailo Knight and his subordinates to the mining area outside Lighthouse Town.

Today, Knight Kailo and his subordinates have all been reduced to miners.

White Valley City seems to want this method to give the Swain family some shock, so as to control the territory of Night Crow City little by little.

"Who is the commander of the Baigu City army this time?" Sauron asked.

"It seems...it's a Viscount named Moron." Nado said with some uncertainty.

"Viscount Moron!"

Sauron's heart moved, he was not unfamiliar with this name.

Viscount Morun is a vassal of the lord of White Valley City. He seems to have some blood relationship with Dover, the lord of White Valley City. The other party is deeply trusted by Dover. Realm of knights.

"The Three Musketeers of Baigu?"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly. Unlike the middle-level knights who were killed before, Viscount Moron was considered a veteran middle-level knight.

He is good at cross swords, and together with two other intermediate knights under Dover's command, he is known as the Three Musketeers of Baigu City.

"Master Sauron."

Next to him, a trace of hesitation appeared on Naduo's face, and he said, "With all due respect, I don't know what else you plan to do next?"

"Master Kailo is still trapped in the mining area..."

"Don't worry, I know."

Sauron nodded, and after pondering for a moment, said: "Let's take a rest for a while, after that, we will head to the mining area outside Lighthouse Town!"

Just after winning a battle, Chibane's morale was in full swing.

Sauron planned to go all out and take back the mining area outside Lighthouse Town, which would not only save Kylo Knight, but also many soldiers loyal to Night Crow City.

Only with enough troops can the plan to recapture Night Crow City go smoothly.

Otherwise, even if Konrad, as a high-level knight, is invincible on the battlefield alone, Akabane Guard will suffer heavy losses in the battle against Night Crow City.

Although these Akabane guards do not completely belong to Sauron, there is no reason to waste them in vain.

Immediately, Sauron ordered Akabane Guard to take a rest, and after a simple replenishment of water, he ordered Naduo to gather all the battle-ready soldiers in Lighthouse Town.

In a moment, there were about 200 more people behind Sauron.

The vast majority of these people are the militiamen of Lighthouse Town. They have lived here for generations. Under the rule of the Swain family, they usually fight for the people and serve as soldiers.

"set off!"

Sauron gave an order, and the strengthened army marched towards the mining area.

Compared with the war to retake Lighthouse Town, the battle in the mining area was easier. There were not many soldiers in Baigu City guarding here, and the supreme leader was just a junior knight. Sauron shot him dead with one arrow, and the remaining Baigu City The city soldiers were immediately defeated.

"Master Sauron!"

In a mine, Sauron saw Knight Kailo.

At this time, Kailo looked very embarrassed. Not only was he seriously injured, but his hands and feet were in shackles. The middle-level knight who was supposed to be majestic was now reduced to a miner.

Obviously, this is Baigu City's punishment for Kailo.

The experience of the miner made Kailo very humiliated, but he had no strength to resist. Now seeing Sauron, he suddenly became extremely excited.

"Uncle Kailo."

According to the address in memory, Sauron said softly.

As a loyal Orens loyalist, Kylo was over forty years old and had been Sauron's personal bodyguard when he was young. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, the two quickly became acquainted.
