Chapter 1389 1361. Take the initiative

Their ‘known friends’.

As soon as this name was mentioned, although there was no other hint, the other four kings present also pointed their impressions at one person without any deviation or hesitation.

A witcher.

The kings were just now boasting about their achievements in defeating the tidal army of men in black on Sod Mountain more than two years ago, as if they were famous in history because of that battle.

It is indeed worthy of being remembered in history, because the scale of the Battle of Sowden Mountain was unprecedented.

Both sides invested a total of more than 100,000 troops! No matter where you put it, it will be regarded as a big battle with a big name.

It has only been five hundred years since humans in the north landed on the mainland from the intersection of the celestial spheres. A few decades ago, the empire in the south was a distant country that only the most profound and knowledgeable scholars in the north knew about.

But now, both sides are trying to destroy and occupy the other side's territory, population, and everything! The contact and fighting began at a dizzying speed.

And the intensity of the fighting increased so fast that it was difficult to understand.

But even so, even though the kings personally participated in the battle that will inevitably go down in history, they all knew it when they boasted about their achievements -

The greatest achievement and most prominent reputation in that war belonged to only one person from the beginning.

A strongman who is not a wizard, but who has fought head-on and killed through the entire battlefield!

To be honest, if it was a wizard, then kings, nobles, and generals would all be able to accept it.

After all, Maribo City can still see the traces of being crushed in half.

If wizards only look at their destructive power, then no one has anything to say, and everyone can accept it.

The problem is, that's not a wizard.

Wizards need to concentrate when casting spells, and their bodies will still die from injuries such as piercing the heart, beheading, etc.

Block magic gold, experienced spell response strategies, secret sneak attacks and poisoning, or use the lives of commandos to go to the mage, and use money and power to hire another powerful mage.

The balance between the king and the mages is always achieved on the premise that each can kill the other.

If a mortal king really wants to kill a king in front of a mage, it can only be done by blowing a breath.

But the power represented by the king, as well as the power belonging to the national group that he can command, can also kill any magician in the world.

So in 'Why make things so chaotic that everyone can't enjoy life? ’ Under the concept, most mages began to serve as advisors to the king’s court.

However, with the development of the times, the mages became more and more addicted to pleasure and became more dependent on the national system.

In the evolution of the times, the national system has developed more targeted combat methods such as "espionage agencies" and "special operations".

So to this day, more and more mages have transformed from consultants who can really intervene in affairs to mascots in the palace that symbolize the "stable relationship between the king and the mages group".

Because there are targeted measures, we can coexist and cooperate with peace of mind.

Even if [Pure White] Rafael is alive, Alzu will be resurrected! In the intense battlefield environment of Soden Mountain, if there were no troops surrounding him layer by layer, he would be able to cast spells with peace of mind.

How many minutes can the Archmage survive in this chaos?

Soden Mountain is now called the 'Mountain of Fourteen Mages', isn't it just because so many mages died?

But that person is not a mage, he is a demon hunter who kills the front of the battlefield!

Rain of arrows, flying spells, fire, frightened horses, poison, and even siege engines! Unpredictable dangers lurk beneath the chaos.

One second a frightened horse rushes over, and the next second the crossbow arrow fired by the crossbow may happen to pierce the frightened horse and appear directly in front of people's eyes.

What methods were not used in that war? What killing skills didn’t show up?

But he just led a small group of knights and killed them!

The absurdity of this kind of thing is self-evident. Until now, the kings' courts have never come up with a final conclusion on how to treat this demon hunter.

It stands to reason that no one would dare to say anything even if he made such great achievements on a battlefield like Soden Mountain and was crowned king on the spot. At most, it would be a stumbling block in the future.

But the key is that no one has ever seen this happen.

Each court, therefore, now does not know what standards to treat Lan En and his knights.

But there is no doubt that anyone who has been to the Soden Mountain battlefield will never doubt one thing - the unparalleled battlefield dominance of the demon hunter!

"You want to use Cintra's name and territory to put down Cintra's Lan En."

When the eyes of many kings were complicated and unclear, Miwei was still like a straight sword, pointing straight to the core and speaking out.

"This is going to work!" Henselt wriggled his lips, as if savoring the plan. "Although I don't know how the demon hunter is so strong, he alone represents the frontal combat effectiveness of at least one division!"

"In terms of mobility and logistical pressure, he is simply more convenient than a single traveling merchant!"

On the battlefield, the so-called 'passes' and 'roads' actually restrict the movement of large-scale regiments.

If you are alone, many so-called "natural dangers" and "Xiongguan" are simply tourist routes.

The more he followed the train of thought, the brighter Henselt's small eyes, which were pinched by the flesh of his cheeks, became brighter.

"And Vizimir is right. Kratz swore a blood oath to avenge Calanthe and his uncle and his wife! If we really want to cross the Yaruga River to attack the other side, he will use all the troops of the Skellige Islands to back us up!"

"Yes, that [Sea Boar] will definitely do so! Blood oath of revenge is the glorious tradition of the Skellige Islands!"

"For the sake of the gods! This plan can succeed! I support Foltest, don't wait! Preemptive raid! Liberate Cintra and drive the black men out of the Amel Pass!"

"Don't be so anxious." Demawi said in a low and stern voice at this time, "Don't be busy touching the tiger's butt, the tiger is not dead yet, and you are planning how to skin it!"

"Moreover, if we take the initiative to raid, we will become invaders and defaulters. Break the armistice agreement that we have all stamped and signed."

"I know that tearing up a contract is common." Demawi turned his head and looked around, "But that is a sure thing. We have the choice of winning and eliminating the impact. Do we have it now? "

"If we breach the contract first, then Niedamir's Hengfus Alliance will not support us. In Kovir and Povis, Isterrad Tison will not help us either."

"I don't know what the attitude of King Eisein of Sidaris is now, but our craftsmen's guild, merchants and nobles will definitely not support a war that we have taken the initiative to provoke. The most important thing is the wizards! The wizards will definitely oppose it!"

"That's true." Vizmir touched the wrinkled skin on his chin that had been loosened due to aging, "They will not support military action against the south bank of the Yaruga River. Because the armistice agreement is the masterpiece of Vigfortz of Logiwen."

"As we all know, Vigfortz's plan is to gradually transform the armistice into a long-term peace, and he will not support war. As for the Wizards' Association?"

At this point, Vizmir smiled self-evidently.

"They only follow Vigfortz's lead. After the Battle of Sodden Mountain, his prestige in the wizard association is at its peak. No matter what other wizards think, he is already the top leader."

"The Wizard Association is the Association of Talents and Skills." Mi Wei frowned and asked, "I don't know much, but Vigfortz is thirty years old? At least less than fifty? Just let a young boy take charge?"

Fifty years old is really too young among wizards.

"Don't look at his young age, he is very tough." Vizmir explained, "Not to mention political operations, there are very few wizards who can surpass him in magic attainments. His magic level is at the same level as Philippa."

Mi Wei frowned. Even if she didn't come into contact with the warlock group, Philippa Ehart's reputation was still well-known.

She is a well-known and powerful figure among female sorcerers, and she is the top one among the active female sorcerers on the market today.

Coupled with the other party's political skills, and backed by Redania, the oldest northern country, the name of Ms. Owl is undoubtedly the most important among the warlocks.

In addition to the two old wizards left over from the "ancient times" and some special people, Philippa Ehart's spell attainments are the most powerful.

But she is at least close to two hundred years old, and that Vigfortz is indeed amazingly talented.

"But he is still not the strongest wizard, and it can even be said that he is far behind." Mi Wei asked calmly.

"Of course." Vizimir admitted frankly, and continued to explain, "Hen Gedimitis and Tishaya de Weris are powerful beyond compare."

"But on the one hand, Tishaya only took up her post in the Talent and Skill Association a few years ago, and the current political situation is far different from the era when she was active."

"The powerful sorceress who has taught and educated people on the island of Thanedd is only now beginning to find out the way. She doesn't really speak out or participate in decision-making in the wizard association, because in her era, the principle of 'doing more and talking less' was still pursued."

"On the other hand, Hen Gedimitis didn't manage things much before, and recently he has begun to focus on the education issues of Ban Ade Academy."

At this point, Vizimir sighed regretfully.

"The old man hid it deeply before, and his heart disease was only known to a small range of wizards. After knowing that he had recovered from his illness, Dijkstra searched through the library of Redania and saw this matter mentioned in a document more than 400 years ago."
