The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 402 Redania Moved Too?
In the palace of Pound Vinnis, the capital of Cowell.

Originally, Koviel had two capitals: the summer capital, Ponde Vinis, and the winter capital, Lang Eset.

However, after the Thyssen family was driven out of Kovir, Dongdulang Eset became the residence of King Idi of Kovir, while Xiadu Ponde Vinis became the residence of King Ryder of Bovis.

This explains why there are always rumors that King Idi of Cowell was a puppet of King Ryd of Bovis.

An excited King Idi approached King Ryder in the palace.

King Ryder glanced at King Idi: "What's with all the joy? Did your wife give birth?"

"Of course not, it's King Niedamir of the Humphries Alliance. He led his army into the Margraviate of Talgo. Didn't Istrad want to counterattack Kovir? Let's see how he can counterattack now?"

After King Edie finished speaking, he noticed that King Ryder did not laugh.

Even King Ryder's face remained expressionless.

Isn't this right?

Realizing something was amiss, King Idi's smile gradually faded.

King Ryder snorted coldly.

"Who do you think persuaded King Nidamir?"

King Idi was stunned: "Could it be you?"

King Ryder didn't even bother to glance at King Idi again.

"Nonsense, what else could it be but you, the guy who spends all day reciting poetry with your male companions?"

“I assured King Niedamir that he could occupy two-thirds of the land once the Targos was conquered.”

"Are you wondering why, after conquering the Principality of Targos, he was only allowed to occupy two-thirds of the land?"

"That's because the remaining third is to be given to King Vizmir of Redania."

King Idi was deeply shocked.

He was still very angry when King Ryder scolded him earlier.

But now, when he heard that King Ryder could even command Redania, his anger vanished instantly.

“Vizmir? How could he possibly be at your beck and call?”

King Leide sneered: "How is it impossible? You probably don't know the desire of every ruler of Redania for the reconquest of the far north... Never mind, you wouldn't know anyway."

His gaze gradually turned cold.

This time, we must ensure that the Thyssen family has no chance of recovery.

……

Tritog, the capital of Redania.

Inside the study in the royal palace.

The King of Vizmir produced a parchment scroll coated with sealing wax.

"Have your men deliver this to Count Troy as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dijkstra asked no questions, took the parchment, and left the study.

In the corridor outside, a woman's voice suddenly called out to him.

“Wait, Sigismund.”

Dijkstra turned to look.

He discovered that the person who had stopped him was a female sorceress.

Philippa Ahart, the King's advisor.

"Look at you, you're as anxious as a groom rushing to see his bride."

“This is not funny, Philippa. This is not the time for jokes. I have received orders and must carry them out immediately.”

“No, believe me, Sigismund, it won’t be a problem if we’re delayed a little. Besides, I need to talk to you about something that can’t be delayed either.” With that, the sorceress walked past Dijkstra.

After walking a distance, he turned back and saw that Dijestra hadn't followed, so he made a gesture to urge him on.

Dijkstra sighed.

He knew perfectly well that Philippa's approach at this time was definitely not a good thing, but what could he do when he fell in love with a sorceress?

The two arrived at a secluded corner.

Philippa created a barrier so that people outside the barrier could neither see nor hear them.

"What did His Majesty and you discuss in the study? Tell me."

"Philippa, do you know the saying 'curiosity killed the cat'?"

"I know, so what did His Majesty talk to you about?"

Dijkstra sighed.

However, knowing that the other party would not do anything to harm Redania's interests, Dijestra, after a brief hesitation, told Philippa what had happened in the study.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Dijkstra added, "Don't even think about getting me to give you that parchment, not even you."

"Sigismund, what do you take me for? However, have your men deliver that letter to the rightful recipient a few days later."

Dijkstra exclaimed in shock: "You're insane! This is treason!"

“Wrong. Everything I did was for Redania,” Philippa’s tone softened slightly. “Besides, the kings of the North don’t believe in the magic of sorcerers. They know it will cause delays on the way, yet they still use traditional messengers to send messages.”

"If it rains heavily on the road from Tritog to Count Troy, it's not unusual for the letter to be delivered later."

Dijkstra shook his head: "I don't understand, Philippa, why did you do this?"

Philippa said calmly, "I've already said it, this is for Redania, you'll understand my good intentions."

……

On the very day the decision was made to help Lady Beneja, Istrad's troops began to move, dismantling their camp and advancing eastward.

Lynn and his demon hunters followed the army.

The actions of the Restoration Army did not escape the notice of Humphries's spies.

When the scouts sent by King Niedamir returned to report to him that an army was advancing towards them.

King Niedamir then left three thousand men to continue the siege of Iwato Castle.

He personally led 12,000 men around Iwato Castle and set up camp on the plain behind the castle, waiting for the restoration army to arrive.

Even though the Humphries Alliance had already divided its forces, the Restoration Army only had eight thousand men.

They are still at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength.

Even if they win in a head-on confrontation, it will probably be a Pyrrhic victory.

And that would also prevent a counterattack against Cowell and Povis.

Therefore, when the Restoration Army arrived and saw the Allied Army's camp, they did not dare to launch an attack rashly.

Instead, they set up positions opposite the Allied forces' camp.

The nobles gathered in Istrad's camp, arguing fiercely about how to fight the battle.

Seeing that no matter what they did, they couldn't reach a conclusion, and feeling overwhelmed, Istrad had no choice but to send the nobles back first, in case the allied forces launched a surprise attack at this time.

It was only after everyone had left the camp that Istrad discovered this.

There is still one person who hasn't left.

"Master Lynn, do you perhaps have a solution?"

The Witcher nodded and said to him, "Sir, actually, I've been thinking about how to defeat the enemy on the way here."
