The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 64

"By the way, Lord Welch."

At this time, Sauron said: "Since the matter of the giant elephant has been resolved, I wonder when Riverrun will fulfill its promise?"

"no problem."

Welch nodded quickly, and said, "I have already ordered people to prepare the potion that Lord Sauron needs, but it may take some time."

"Why?" Sauron frowned slightly.

"In fact, everything was already prepared."

Welch sighed and explained: "But because of yesterday's rebellion, the soldiers under that Nizizi attacked the Castle of Riverrun, resulting in the destruction of a warehouse for storing potions."

"Therefore, the potion needed by Lord Sauron can only be re-prepared by bachelors."

"However, Lord Sauron, please rest assured that all the potions you need can be prepared within half a month at most."

"Half a month?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Well, if this is the case, then I can only bother Lord Welch for half a month."

"Haha, Lord Sauron can stay in Riverrun, I'm not too happy yet."

Welch laughed twice, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "There is one more thing, I just want to discuss it with Lord Sauron."

As he spoke, Welch raised his hand, motioning for Sauron to come with him.

When they came to the castle's study room, Welch closed the door with his backhand, and the two sat at a coffee table, each pouring a cup of black tea.

"Lord Sauron should be very clear about what happened yesterday."

Welch took a sip of black tea, with a serious look on his face, and said in a low voice: "The rebellion in Riverrun seems to be caused by that traitor."

"But in fact, without the support of the Duke of the West, nothing would have happened!"

"good."

Sauron nodded slightly. Although Moxien is Welch's eldest son, his power is not enough to shake Welch's position.

After all, Welch is still a senior knight no matter how old he is.

This alone was enough to suppress Moxien. If it wasn't for the wild lion knight Rotaire, maybe the opponent didn't even have the courage to draw his sword to Welch.

"I've known Phils for decades!"

Welch's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "It has always been his greatest wish to unify the thirteen cities in the Western Territory all these years."

"Right now, the situation in the Duchy of Tar is turbulent."

"I'm afraid Phils won't let go of such an opportunity. No matter Riverrun City or Night Crow City, we must make preparations in advance!"

Hearing what Phils said, Sauron had a thoughtful look on his face.

He can naturally understand the meaning of the other party.

It has always been the wish of Fels, the Duke of the West, to collect all the thirteen cities in the West, and the other party has never given up on this idea for many years.

However, when the situation in the Principality of Thar was stable, even Phils, as the Duke of the West Region, did not dare to ignore the laws of the Principality and openly challenge the authority of the royal family.

But now it is different.

Due to the old king's old age, the Duchy of Tal was undercurrent due to the struggle for the throne. The Duke of the Western Territory, Fels, also saw the opportunity and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to annex the independent towns such as Night Crow and Run River.

"Does Lord Welch have any ideas?"

After a while, Sauron raised his head. He had already guessed Welch's intentions, but he still asked him.

"Nine out of the thirteen cities in the Western Territory are under the control of Phils."

Welch said in a deep voice: "The only cities that still have the right to independence are Riverrun, Nightcrow, Moon Mountain, and Chishui!"

"If we want to fight Phils, we must unite!"

"Only by combining the power of the four cities, can we have a chance to block Phils' footsteps!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

Welch was right. Among the four independent cities in the western region, none of them had the ability to fight against Duke Fels of the western region.

Therefore, joining forces is the only chance.

"Lord Welch means an alliance?"

Sauron pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I have no problem with that."

"However, will Chishui City and Yueshan City agree?"

A smile appeared on Welch's face, and he said, "Lord Sauron, don't worry, I'm in charge of Chishui City and Yueshan City."

"Sam and Boone are not stupid, they will make the right choice!"

"it is good."

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly, and the plan of the four cities to form an alliance against the Duke of the West did not do any harm to him.

For Sauron, what he needs most now is time.

As long as there is enough time, he will soon become stronger. At that time, Sauron will have nothing to fear even if the army of the Duke of the Western Territory is overwhelming.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

After the fire giant elephant's crisis was resolved, according to the agreement, Welch should prepare a batch of potions for Sauron, but due to the rebellion in the city, the agreed potions could only be delivered half a month later.

During this period, Sauron simply stayed in Riverrun.

Using the resources provided by Riverrun City, Sauron continued to practice. With the cooperation of the exclusive potion, the Snow Eagle Breathing Method and the Red Snake Breathing Method made rapid progress.

In the new calendar year 826, the season of fire, June.

Westlands, Riverrun.

In the distance is an endless grassland, with flowers and grass growing on the ground, and as a gust of wind blows by, the hot air is slightly dispelled.

call out!
Sauron rode on the horse, bent his bow and shot an arrow. With the sound of piercing the air, a blue wolf [-] meters away screamed.

But then, a burst of howling wolves sounded one after another.

Sauron looked calm.

Behind him, except for a few guards, were all soldiers from Riverrun.

"Amazing archery!"

There was a hint of admiration on Hall's face, and envy flashed in his eyes.

On the grassland, dozens of green wolves came running wildly.

With a flash in Sauron's eyes, he bent his bow and set his arrow again. Looking at the attacking wolves, he shot arrows without hesitation, and each arrow could kill a blue wolf.

"Come on!"

Behind him, Viscount Hall raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him also began to charge.

In the territory of Riverrun City, the wolves on the prairie have always been a threat to the nearby villages. During the seasons of fire and harvest, these beasts would form groups and attack the villages under the night.

Welch sent troops to attack every year, but the result was very little.

Facing the cunning and ferocious wolves, even if the knight is careless for a moment, he may be injured.

Now, Sauron was in Riverrun, and happened to have nothing to do, so he took the initiative to go to the grassland, intending to shoot some blue wolves for activities.

What's more, the blood and bones of this group of blue wolves are also the materials for making potions.

Ow! !
With a cry of grief, the last green wolf was also killed. A smile appeared on Hall's face, and he waved and ordered the soldiers to take away all the corpses of the blue wolf.

Sauron put down his bow and arrow, a thought flashed in his eyes.

After staying in Riverrun City for so long, his greatest achievement is the improvement of Snow Eagle Breathing Technique and Red Snake Breathing Technique, especially the Snow Eagle Breathing Technique, which has now reached its limit.
