The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 99 Showdown
"Unless, Phils is already in line!"

Orens narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Western Territory is married to Ander on the surface, but in fact, he supports another king's blood!"

"If it wasn't for His Royal Highness Historia, then there might be only one possible candidate left!"

"Fourth prince gal?"

A trace of hesitation appeared on Frost's face, and he said, "But, Gallen is already the son-in-law of the Duke of the Eastern Region, so even if the Western Region seeks refuge with him, what can he get?"

"Gallon did marry the daughter of the Duke of Eastland."

"However, as far as I know, Prince Gallon has been married to that Miss Tully for several years, but has never had any children."

Orens said quietly: "The Duke of the Eastern Realm only has such a daughter. If she is infertile, then what qualifications will she have to become a queen in the future?"

A thought flashed in Maester Frost's eyes.

Beside, Sauron's thoughts flashed in his mind, then he shook his head and said, "No matter what decision the Duke of the West Region makes, it is not something we can change."

"I think the top priority now is to meet with the lords of Benliu, Yueshan, and Chishui as soon as possible to form an alliance!"

"good."

Bachelor Frost nodded in agreement. The Four Cities Alliance is the foundation of the fight against the Duke of the Western Territory, and it must be completed as soon as possible.

"I have already contacted Welch, and we will meet at Moon Lake in seven days. At that time, the lords of Yueshan City and Chishui City will also come."

Frost said again.

"very good."

Sauron nodded, very satisfied with this arrangement.

Now, Orens has woken up, and the poison on his body has also been removed. In addition to the Steel Heart Knight Conrad, there are now three high-level knights in Night Crow City.

Going to Moon Lake with such strength is also a reassurance for the other three city lords, giving them the confidence to fight against the Duke of the West.

"Lord Orens."

At this time, Connard, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "It's been a while since you returned to Night Crow City, right?"

"I don't know, how is your recovery?"

When Connard spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I understand your idea."

Orens looked calm, and said frankly: "My condition has almost recovered. If Knight Connard wants to compete, I will be happy to accompany him."

"it is good!"

A gleam flashed in Konrad's eyes, and he invited Orens to a duel outside on the spot.

A trace of thought appeared in Sauron's heart.

Hester sent Konrad to Night Crow City at the beginning, probably because of his own request. Steel Heart Knight lost to Orens that year, and an obstacle has formed in his heart.

Now, many years have passed since that battle.

Conrad was unable to break through the realm for a long time, mostly because of the existence of inner demons. For Steel Heart Knight, only by defeating Orens can he have a chance to break through himself.

……

The Principality of Tar, the northern border.

Winter City.

In the ancient castle, there was a fire burning in the fireplace in the study room. Next to the coffee table, Histor took a cup of black tea and took a sip.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and the red knight Myrcella walked in.

"Your Highness." Myrcella said softly.

"Is there any news from the capital?" Hester asked quietly.

"It's still the same thing as before."

Myrcella shook her head and said: "After Ander was poisoned, the capital fell into chaos, but now it has been suppressed by Earl Ryan."

"Except for the Royal Guard, the other forces have been initially controlled by Ryan."

Histor's eyes flickered slightly.

"Your Highness... Is it true that Prince Galen was behind the death of Ander?" Myrcella asked hesitantly.

"Who else is there besides him?"

Histor's eyes flickered, and he said quietly: "I have long seen that this brother is not simple, but I never thought that he has such means."

"If there is no accident, the old fox in the western region may have been won over by him, but he didn't know what benefits he promised."

Hearing Hester's words, Myrcella was thoughtful.

"Any news from Evelyn?"

Suddenly, Histor put down the teacup, rubbed his forehead and asked.

"...There is no definite news."

Myrcella shook her head, and said: "However, it seems that someone has seen someone who is suspected to be His Royal Highness Evelyn in the Free City-state area."

"Free City?"

Histor frowned slightly, and said, "What is Evelyn doing there?"

"I don't know." Myrcella said honestly.

"This girl..."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Hester's eyes, and then he sighed: "That's okay, the situation in the Principality of Tal is unstable now, and it's not a bad thing that Evelyn is not in the country."

"At least, I don't have to worry about her falling into the hands of the enemy."

As he spoke, Hester's eyes flickered.

She stood up and came to the center of the study, looking at the huge sand table in front of her, a trace of thought appeared on her face.

"The royal capital!"

Thoughts flickered in Hester's mind, and he murmured: "If Ander's death was caused by Galen, then his next goal must be to seize the capital!"

"Myrcella, pass on my order!"

"The army in the north is assembled. At dawn tomorrow, I will personally lead the army to the capital. What belongs to me should be taken back!"

Myrcella's heart trembled.

After waiting for such a long time, Histor is finally going to lead the army to the capital, which also means that her road to becoming a king is just beginning.

"As you wish, Your Highness!"

Myrcella took a deep breath, and a firm look flashed in her eyes. She had followed Histor for many years, and hoped that Hester could become Queen of Tal more than anyone else.

……

The Duchy of Tar, the western border.

Night Crow City.

On the vast open field, Connard and Orens stood facing each other. Both were high-level knights, and both used cross swords as weapons.

Around, Sauron, Frost and others watched.

"I've waited too long for this moment!"

A blaze flashed in Konrad's eyes, and he said quietly: "The defeat to you in that battle back then has become the biggest shadow in my life!"

"Today, I will break the demon!"

While speaking, Connard took a deep breath, holding the cross sword with both hands, his eyes gradually became firm, and his eyes fixed on Orens.

In contrast, Orens looked calm.

"First of all, I would like to thank Knight Konrad for his help to Night Crow City during these times."

Orens said calmly, "However, as a knight, since I choose to duel, I will not hold back anything!"

"Knight Conrad, you have to be careful!"

"Shoot with all your strength? It's exactly what I want!"

Conrad's eyes flickered, and he said loudly: "Come on, Orens, let me see your strength again, I will never fail this time!"

As soon as the words fell, Connard let out a low growl.

The next moment, he took the lead in launching the attack, like a black shadow, heading straight for Orens to attack and kill.
