From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 103: Sintra

“About three hundred. The royal chief bowed, “These are all royal family members and guests who have not had time to leave.” The other jazz took their own weapons and stayed outside, and the citizens only sent some children and women in. ”

“The lions of Sintra,” said Mossack, and instructed the royal governor, “go and check again if the supplies are enough.” ”

The chief manager nodded in agreement, turned and walked out of the room.

Turning around, Ciri looked at Mossack in disbelief, teary eyes: “Nifgaard people… What does it mean to be in town? What about Grandma and Grandpa? ”

Mossack hesitated for a moment, but still said: “The scout who fled back said that a group of Skellig sailors intervened in the battlefield and rescued the king and queen. I just don’t know why they haven’t come back yet. ”

He was relieved: “They must not have fallen into the hands of the Nifgaards, otherwise the Nifgaards would have used this as a blackmail instead of choosing to attack.” ”

Ciri’s young body trembled uncontrollably, and she was about to say something, but suddenly heard a loud sound of the sky cracking outside the city.

Everyone in the house shook their shoulders sharply in surprise, and hurriedly ran to the window to check the sound source, only to see a shocking opening in the outer wall of the castle at this moment, and the soldiers of Nifgaard were rushing towards here like a tide.

“How is it so fast! ”

Mossack heard the soldiers exclaiming, his eyes became sharp, and the natural peaceful nature of the druids disappeared in his body for a moment.

He took his oak staff in his left hand and closed it together in the shape of a tiger’s claw. All the plants that surround the walls seem to come to life in an instant, connecting to each other and encircling the castle tightly.

Nifgaard’s soldiers seemed to want to enter through the gap, but when they crossed the plant, they suddenly hit a green light curtain, and the whole person flew out upside down. The soldiers who had entered the city wall panicked and tried to get out, but were firmly stopped.

The Praetorian guards of Sintra swarmed up.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but Mossack knew that things weren’t that simple.

“Sward! The sword guard heard Mossack call his name, “Geralt is outside the north gate of the castle, and Ens and Hardy have my warrant to go and pick Geralt up.” I need White Wolf to locate the portal to Kelmohan! ”

“Chief, go and get Ciri’s cloak! ”

Mossack looked around at the guards around him and said, “I know that the Queen gave you an order to cut off the head of a demon hunter when you saw him, but now that he is here to protect the princess, I believe you can tell the difference.” ”

The guards nodded yes, and a man dressed as a captain walked out of the room with Sward, informing all the soldiers along the way to let them go.

“Wait, Uncle Mossack. Ciri suddenly panicked, “Where am I going?” Don’t wait for grandma and grandpa? Where is Kelmohan? ”

“Listen to me, Ciri. Mossack said in a soft voice, “This may be difficult for you to understand – although you have fought fate all your life, fate is still on our side, we have made many wrong choices, and now we must restrain ourselves from the precipice.”

Geralt will take you one step ahead, and I’ll continue to wait for the king and queen here, helping as many people evacuate as I can. I’ll go to you again after that, okay? ”

Ciri shook his head fiercely, and he couldn’t hold back his tears anymore: “You all think that I don’t understand anything, you are lying to me.” Lane lied to me, grandpa and grandmother also lied to me, and now even you are lying to me? ”

“Ciri, you listen to me…”

“I’m also the lion of Sintra! Ciri suddenly exclaimed, “I’m not going anywhere!” ”

Her voice was surprisingly high, neither a scream nor a roar, but it shook everyone’s eardrums.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible fluctuation spread out in all directions centered on Ciri, shattering all the cups, vases, and mirrors in the room.

The magic fluctuations in Mossack’s hand swayed for a while, and he finally stabilized it. He looked at Ciri with wide eyes, his eyes full of incredulity.

“Ciri… At this time, why is it this time…”

At this moment, behind the soldiers who came like a tide, a group of people dressed obviously did not look like soldiers. The leader is a woman with short hair dressed as a maverick, followed by cloaks in which both men and women wear faces that cannot be seen. The druid seemed to feel something, and immediately turned his head to look over.

Although only the leading woman is dressed up gorgeously, although the men and women behind her are as square as attendants, but magic fluctuations cannot be wrong, these people are warlocks!

Mossack gritted his teeth, there were so many!

Seeing Mossack’s astonishing range of defensive spells, Fryingira exclaimed, “What an astonishing one, druid. Although I don’t know what happened to the fluctuation just now, but – found it! ”

Then she tilted her head and signaled, and the warlocks behind her burst out chaotic energy fluctuations in unison, turning into more than a dozen beams of elemental attacks of different forms and slamming into the green screen in mid-air.

The huge pressure acted on Mossack’s body, and the natural energy in his body poured out like a pool of open floodgates. Mossack had thought it would be enough to support until dawn, but now it seems that it may not be able to withstand dusk.

To make matters worse, his magic was so tightly held by the dozen or so warlocks that he couldn’t even free his hand to open the portal. As long as he stopped his hand, those dozen or so beams of magic could instantly penetrate the protection and kill everyone in this room.

“No time, guard, take the princess and leave immediately!” ”

“Ciri, go north, go to Blochrom with Geralt! It’s the junction of the Four Kingdoms, and the Dryads, and it’s also very close to Tymoria, and Nifgaard will definitely not come near there if he doesn’t want to fight the entire Northern Realm at the same time! ”

“Uncle Mossack! Ciri cried and was carried away by the guards. All of a sudden in the room were Mossack and a knight of the royal family.

The knight had just been silent, and at this moment he looked at Mossack’s hideous expression and sweaty, sighed and stepped forward and asked: “Advisor Mossack, it’s time, right?” ”

Mossack was silent, he was unwilling to affirm such a question, and he strongly opposed it when Calanther gave such an order. But the order was unanimously passed by others.

What a pack of lions this is…

Silence is acquiescence, and the knight nodded, facing Mossack and retreating to the door to stop.

“Counselor, Your Majesty has asked me to convey this sentence to you—” he said solemnly, “Mossack, it is an honor for all of Sintra to be able to receive your help. ”

The knight bowed deeply towards Mossack, turned and disappeared into the corridor.

Mossack was silent for a while, his expression gradually becoming sad, and he whispered in the direction the knight left: “Me too, Your Majesty.” ”

The protective shield in front of her became weaker and weaker, and Fringira Vigo seemed to have finally waited for the moment she wanted, she opened her hands, and the magic fluctuations that were far more powerful than those warlocks behind her boiled at this moment-

And inside the castle, at this moment, everyone in the room was finally evacuated, and Mossack, who had no scruples, withdrew his hands, and the natural energy was re-condensed in another way——

“Boom! ”

The violent explosion directly broke a corner of the castle, a large area of the city wall was torn over from the inside out, countless Nifgaards were killed by falling stones, and the soldiers who were facing each other with swords stopped one after another, covering their ears in pain, and blood continued to flow out between their fingers.

The entire battlefield was paused because of this violent magical collision, and the crowd was quiet for a brief moment. Then Black Sun and Lion seemed to have accumulated enough strength in this pause, and each broke out into a louder roar!

The knight who had conveyed the Queen’s message to Mossack kept walking after he walked out of the room, and neither the shouts nor the explosions disturbed him in the slightest.

He walked to the door of the nearest room and nodded to the two guards guarding the door. The two of them unabruptly drew their swords and walked towards the outside of the castle, their mission here was over.

“Madam, Miss. The knight looked at the royal family members in the room who were attracted by his movements, and took out a small bottle from his arms, “It’s time.” ”

The royal family members in the house understood something, and the mother hugged her trembling daughter and gently took the vial handed over by the knight. She pretended to be calm:

“Essek… If I’m not mistaken, you’re my cousin. ”

The woman in the room said softly, and after seeing the knight nodding, she forced out a smile and said: “Then, you must let the Nifgaards have a good look… The power of the angry lion. ”

The knight’s eyes fluctuated slightly: “Of course. ”

The knight Essek passed through the rooms, and the guards guarding the door left one by one, their footsteps accompanied by the sound of glass bottles shattering and human bodies falling to the ground.

The knights walked all the way to the castle gates. In front of them were the tide of black sun soldiers, and the Three Lions Banner retreated again and again.

He drew his long sword and threw himself into the crowd without hesitation.

…………

A group of black-armored soldiers ran past the edge of the castle, and after walking away, a secret door of the castle opened, and two royal guards first probed out to inquire about the situation and confirm that it was safe, and then two more guards hurriedly ran out with Ciri.

At this moment, the princess is wearing a tan griffin skin cape, and in her arms is holding a reddish-brown cloth bag wrapped in a long strip.

This secret door is right next to the stable, and there are still fast horses in it that have not had time to take away or deliberately stayed.

“Horse, princess. Get on the horse! ”

The leading Praetorian Guard held Ciri in his arms, and the five of them rushed towards the north gate, but they did not notice that a group of black-armored soldiers appeared in the corner behind them.

Cilicher leaned against the cold plate armor of the Praetorian Leader, and suddenly felt something fishy and smelly spraying out of his head, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the blood in the neck of the Praetorian Leader.

An arrow pierced his neck from behind, and following the trajectory of this arrow, a knight wearing gold-patterned black armor and winged helmet slowly lowered the longbow in his hand.

The knight leader fell from his horse to the ground holding the screaming Ciri, and he used the last ounce of strength to control the center of gravity, using himself as a cushion to prevent the princess from falling, leaving the horse empty on his back to run far away.

The remaining three Praetorian Guards were frightened and pulled their horses, and the Arch Princess tried to fight back, but was easily annihilated by enemies several times her own.

“Count Cassirer, she is Princess Hirilla, I once met him at a banquet! ”

When the winged helmet knight heard that he stepped forward and lifted up the fallen Ciri, the voice that came out of the gap in the armor was full of joy: “Finally found!” ”
