The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 400 The Invading Army
Hearing Lynn say this, the cavalry officer did not insist. He nodded and said, "Alright, if you need anything, you can come to the camp and find me."

He paused, then asked, "So you're going to see that esteemed person now?"

"correct."

Next, Lynn gave a few instructions to everyone.

He also emphasized that in his absence, Letso would lead the group.

Then he instructed Resso:
Set up camp at a certain distance from the military camp.

Try to avoid getting close to military camps.

But if someone picks a fight, you don't have to deliberately tolerate it, just don't kill them.

Of all these witchers, Letho was undoubtedly the most gifted in leadership.

When I'm not around, I feel most at ease leaving things in Letso's care.

Later, Lynn met Istrad in the city.

When Istrad saw Lynn arrive, his excitement and joy were palpable.

He is not a Witcher.

But he could instinctively sense that Lynn was much stronger than he had been years ago.

Istrad said that Lynn could be knighted right now.

But Lynn shook his head: "Lord Istrad, let's wait until I've rendered meritorious service before we talk about it."

Receiving rewards without merit can easily attract criticism.

Anyway, this is a war, so there's no shortage of opportunities to make contributions.

Although the number of demon hunters he brought was small, each of them was extremely powerful. If used properly, taking the head of an enemy general amidst a vast army would not be difficult.

Having such an achievement, and then having Istrad bestow an honor upon him, would shut up all the critics.

Istrad respects Lynn's choice.

Then he asked another question.

"Lord Lynn, shouldn't we find you a new identity?"

Istrad himself, of course, had no problem with witchers or non-human races.

His followers had no objections.

Because the Kovirs themselves were the ones who were oppressed by Redania in the past.

Having experienced hardship myself, I won't want to tear apart someone else's umbrella just because they have one.

But Istrad had something else on his mind.

He knew how bad the reputation and status of witchers were in this world.

They also knew that warlocks and demon hunters didn't get along.

Therefore, he was worried that if he used his real identity publicly, it might cause trouble for Lynn and even the entire Witcher community.

Actually, Lynn had already thought everything through before she came.

He didn't need to deliberately hide it.

Now, all the demon hunters on the continent have been recruited under his command, so there is no need for him to worry about it.

Lynn wasn't worried about what the warlock would do if he knew he became a lord.

He was not afraid of being targeted by warlocks.

One reason is that one of the core leaders of the Warlock Brotherhood is his ally.

That's right, he was talking about Tissaya. This sorceress, who was just one step away from becoming a legend, could also represent the Academy of Aretusa and stand by his side when needed.

Another reason is that the Warlock Brotherhood of today is no longer the Warlock Brotherhood of the past.

The Warlock Brotherhood was once so powerful that it could even suppress a rebellion launched by a legendary warlock like "Pure White" Rafald, who was at the pinnacle of power, status, and reputation.

The Warlock Brotherhood is no longer the monolithic entity it once was.

My backside should have been firmly planted in the North, but instead, half of it has been quietly infiltrated by the South.

Therefore, even if he participated in the war to restore Istrald under his real name "Lynn the Witcher" and was granted the title of lord, the Brotherhood of Sorcerers would not be able to deal with him as easily as they had with Kael'thas and Kael'thas before.

Not to mention, it had only been a few years since the First Northern War.

Soon, the Warlock Brotherhood was overwhelmed with its own problems.

……

Shabad is the first city on the eastern border of the Talgo Kingdom. Any merchants coming from the east must pass through Shabad before entering Talgo.

Bordering the eastern territory of the Margraviate of Talgo are the city-states of Creeden and Maruul, which, along with Talgo, were once part of Kovir and Bovis decades ago.

However, after the "Bovis Split", the eastern regions became independent one after another, and cities like Kreiden and Maruul became independent as city-states.

The world has never been peaceful; you only feel safe because you are in a safe environment.

Smaller countries are more acutely aware of the severity of the international situation.

Therefore, for them, the first consideration is not expansion, but survival.

Only by sticking together can we survive in this harsh world.

The Margraviate of Targary has always had good relations with Clayden and Marlul, and since they were once part of Koviel and Bovis, they are also very similar in culture and tradition.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, these countries will continue to maintain this relationship.

But if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is about to happen.

Several years ago, a king of great talent and ambition suddenly appeared in Kangon.

His name was Nidamir, and he once slew a dragon that was harassing the people of Holopor. (Surprisingly, although many bards wrote a ballad about Nidamir slaying the dragon, none of them had ever seen the scene they were singing.)

Regardless, thanks to this achievement, King Niedamir successfully married Princess Maruul, uniting Kangunn and Maruul together.

Next, without stopping, he merged Clayden and Holoppel, reunifying the city-states that had been divided, and on this basis, established a brand new nation—the Humphries League.

From its inception, the Humphries Union continued the friendly and neighborly foreign policy of Marius and Creyden.

Until this day...

On the watchtower of Shabad, a sharp-eyed soldier spotted an army on the distant horizon outside the city.

This army was extremely large, with a sea of ​​people and dust flying everywhere; it probably numbered more than ten thousand soldiers.

They are waving the banner of the Humphries Alliance, their intentions are unclear.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, the soldiers on the watchtower hurriedly rang the alarm bell, which had never been rung before.

Dangdangdang——

The piercing sound of the alarm bell immediately rang throughout the city and carried far and wide.

Because the alarm bells had not been heard for a long time, both soldiers and civilians in Shabad were in disbelief.

However, the captain on duty on the city wall reacted quickly. He first ordered the soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate to retreat back into the city and close the gate.

Then, someone was sent to the inner city to inform the lord.

Soon, the lord led a squad of personal guards to the city wall.
