Chapter 1609 1581. The Era of Contempt
Poor Gede finally saved his life.
In the look of even Lan En's awe-in-law towards him, Tishaya coughed softly, and then the various pendants on the witch hunters' necks stopped trembling increasingly violently.
Tishaya pushed the baked ribs in front of him with her hand towards Ged: "Enjoy and relax, Master Ged. This is a rare holiday."
Never before, Gede felt that the oldest sorcerer among humans, the oldest sorcerer among humans, was so amiable.
Without saying a word, Gede picked up a piece of rib and stuffed his mouth.
At this time, Bellengar raised his cup without bothering to watch the fun and pushed Askell next to him with his elbow. With the toughness of an old senior, he forced him to have no choice but to respond first and raise the cup.
Lan En could see that Askell was not the kind of person who likes to joke very much. He had a bit of a stern personality, but it wasn't enough to say he was rigid.
The old wolf pushed him a elbow and he immediately followed.
Maybe it is because of the two Valyrian steel swords placed against the wall at the door?
His current body of high-level wolf school armor should be the materials and handicraft fees he saved later, but the two Valyrian steel swords were the customized gifts given to them by the old witch hunter when Lane and Bellengar arrived in Kelmohan together last time.
It's short to get people.
"Let us respect the brave and fearless Gede! He guaranteed our laughter with his loyalty, dedication and decisiveness!"
"Jing Gede."
The sorcerers raised their glasses containing red wine with a smile, and Cassandra remained generous.
However, Lan Eun stabbed the old witch hunter while raising his glass.
"Oh~" he made a meaningful voice, "I thought you were commending his loyalty to defend the factory area."
"What do you mean?" Berengal smiled wickedly, "Of course I think so!"
After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere began to become familiar and lively.
In fact, the people present were familiar with each other, but Lane and Aeskele had never met before, which led to the atmosphere becoming a little inconsistent at the beginning.
However, the credibility of the Wolf School, as well as the endorsement of Visemille, Geralt, and Lambert, the stinky and Acekel had already known each other from the beginning.
Under Lane's coordination, alcohol successfully lubricated the atmosphere between him and Aeskele.
The other party was not a bad temper that was difficult to get along with.
After a few rounds, the topic on the dining table naturally turned to war.
This second war in which the Southern Empire advanced to the north on a large scale was the biggest topic in the entire continent in the past six months.
"You must know better than me what the battlefield is now." Lan En played with a wine glass in his hand, as if he was chatting without caring at all. "After all, I've just come back, and the news is delayed and blocked."
"We are still at the rear." When talking about war, Berengal's face that was still joking just now faded. "If you really want to know first-hand news, why don't you go directly to Fultest? Or your Knights?"
"I will look for what you said, but not now." Lan En leaned on the back of the chair and frowned. "Now, I want to get some outline of the battlefield from you."
"Himmer, the outline is." Gede was choked by a large piece of chicken because he wanted to speak. He took a sip of wine before pressing down. "We can eat and drink here now, thanks to the winter truce."
As he said, he raised the bones of the chicken leg that had been gnawed in his hand.
"Yes, a truce." Askell shrugged.
"The battle started half a year ago, and the Niphgads were unstoppable. Their Eastern Front battlefield almost broke through Aden. The central battlefield crushed the Soden area and Bruger, and directly entered the territory of Temolia, surrounded Maripo."
"There is nothing to say about the battlefield on the Western Front. It was originally a bunch of small countries on the sea. The Nifgads frightened them. King Viden, who was originally protected by Fultest, directly announced the surrender of Kaicheng and surrendered to Emperor Enhill."
King Aiville of Widen.
When mentioning this country, Lan En recalled it slightly.
That was when he was searching for Visemir and passing through Vidden, when he met Geralt at that time, and they worked together to lift the curse of a baron turning into a cormorant.
At that time, Geralt was employed by King Aville and went to work.
Later Geralt revealed that the reason why the king paid him to work was because the king wanted to marry the baron's sister. Eliza Fesnett, a girl who took care of his brother after he was cursed into a cormorant for two years, and during which he naively knitted a nettle sweater for him, thinking that this would lift the curse.
If you think about it carefully, she is already Queen Weiden now, right?
I don’t know if Geralt said so lucky, ‘Avil is so old that she can become a leisurely and wealthy widow queen only needs to endure for a few years’.
But now that war is sweeping the world, even if you really become a widow queen, how can you have any leisure and wealth?
"I know that these small countries should not be able to withstand the big waves caused by Nifgad. Even the size of Leria and the United Kingdom of Livia is not good."
Lane took a sip of the Temoria rye vodka in the cup.
"Ko Yadian is one of the four northern countries who signed the mutual aid treaties and agreements between them, tsk."
The young witch hunter made a sarcastic sarcasm.
No one refuted him, because the facts were more ironic than the ridicule he spoke.
"After Vizmir's death, Redanya fell into chaos." Askell said indifferently, and after saying that, he looked at Lan Eun uncertainly, "You should know that he was assassinated, right?"
"I know." Lan En's answer was concise, and Askell was able to continue talking smoothly.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Queen Hedwig is regent, but the riots and fear have spread throughout Redania. They have vigorously hunted down spies of the Squirrel Party and the Nifgads. Dikosche has pissed off the whole kingdom for King Vizmir, and now anyone who sees him is trembling."
"I can imagine." Lan En raised his eyes when he said this, "I didn't give him a good look on the night of the coup in Aritusa, and even made his affairs dirty. Did he cause trouble for you?"
Speaking of that night, the two sorcerers who had not interrupted all the time became heavy at the same time.
"He wasn't overwhelmed by anger," Berengal added from the side, "He has the ability to cause trouble for us, but he didn't. In short, Redania was in chaos at the time and could not help support Aden."
"As for Fultest," this link, Margarita, who has always been insensitive to politics and the situation, suddenly spoke, "On the day when the Nifgads stepped out of the Livian border, Enhill sent a messenger to Vigima."
She raised her glass and smiled at Lan En: "Our dear Ms. Tris Meligod, witnessed everything."
"According to her, there were many members of the Royal Family Conference that day. Because the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom was staying on the front line with most commanders, namely in the Pontal Valley, the Mahakan Mountains, or near Maripo."
"The royal magic consultant was only present. Her former colleague Fecart stood on the side of Wigofortz the night of the coup in the Sinnied Island, but died. Keira Metz was firm, but she was too seriously injured and had not recovered yet."
"At the meeting, Duke Shiward and Duke Bronibe were quarreling, and the high priest Willemer said peace."
"Then." Margarita's face sarcastically smiled. "Fultest came out of the room where he talked to the messenger and said-I have brought peace to you."
"A armistice agreement. Temolia can take away the Haji Fortress in the Pontal Valley, and the Nifgadians' central army will stop at Soden."
"But this armistice agreement lasted only two weeks. To be precise, sixteen days."
"Sixteen days later, Demavi of Aden fled west to Novigre to seek refuge, and Nifgad's central army set off from Soden and stepped directly onto the southern border of Temolia. He began to prepare to attack Maripo."
In the war, things that have to be fought for are about to be fought for by human life every day. A truce has won sixteen days, and the messenger who brought the agreement with him is probably going to be promoted in Nifgaard.
"What about Codwin?" Lane then asked, "Why didn't Codwin's King Hensette lend a helping hand to Demavi of Aden and Mivi of Livia? After all, they have a covenant, and they are in alliance."
"If Henset also followed Fultest and did not take his signature and seal on the covenant seriously and thought the king's promise was meaningless, then he would be too stupid, right?"
"Aden fell and Temolia compromised. The next target of the Niphgads is him. Does he not even understand this? Even out of reason, Codwin should support Aden. There is no loyalty or honesty in this world, but reason should always exist."
Lan En asked expressionlessly at this moment.
"Before I left this time, I had already seen news about the Yadian border. But I thought that even the infamous 'Wild Boar King' should just take advantage of the crisis and attack my allies with a lion-speaking blackmail."
"What's wrong? The Wild Boar King actually wanted to tear his allies with the enemy and eat them?"
"He just doesn't think about it. After he ate his allies, he was in a heavy and lazy digestive period. Did the enemy tear him down by the way?"
"What do you think? Is there any reason in this world? Or is it that only despicable and contempt are left?"
