The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 408 Enemy Army Defeated
However, the Allied forces were outnumbered. Although many died in the initial surprise attack, they eventually managed to hold off the attack of the Iwato Castle defenders after they recovered.

Upon discovering that the enemy forces were few in number, they mobilized far more troops than the defenders of Iwato Castle and outflanked the enemy from both flanks.

They attempted to encircle and annihilate the invading enemy force.

And this was the opportunity Lynn had been waiting for.

"Now! Everyone, follow me!"

Lynn spurred his horse forward.

The witchers perked up and rode after Lynn.

Behind them were two hundred cavalrymen who had been separated from the garrison of Iwato Castle.

They formed a wedge formation and, following Lynn, charged toward where King Niedamir was.

In terms of impact, light cavalry can't match armored cavalry, but now that the Allied forces are in disarray, even light cavalry, if they were to stab in with a knife, would be enough to cause the Allied forces serious damage.

And this is indeed the case.

The flanking charge launched by these two hundred cavalrymen shocked the Allied forces even more than the eight hundred infantrymen who charged out from behind.

Before they even got close enough to kill anyone, many Allied soldiers were already terrified.

The allied nobles quickly mobilized their cavalry to the flanks to block the advance, buying time for the infantry to meet the charge.

It must be pointed out that while the nobles of this era may not have been very cultured, they were not ignorant bumpkins when it came to military command.

The Allied forces reacted swiftly, at least upon discovering Lynn and his cavalry unit.

Unfortunately, sometimes battlefield confrontations are not simply a matter of proper command.

It also depends on the morale, equipment, and troop quality of both sides, etc.

"Ready to throw!"

The demon hunters following behind Lynn subtly changed their formation, from a cone-shaped arrowhead to a straight line. Each demon hunter took a high-grade honeycomb bomb from their tactical sling and held it in their hand.

"Throw!"

When the two cavalry units were only twenty or thirty meters apart, the demon hunters suddenly threw out their high-grade honeycomb bombs.

In an instant, the Allied cavalry formation was shattered by the high-level honeycomb bombs thrown into it.

"kill!"

The demon hunters and Iwato Castle cavalry seized the opportunity to charge in, and with just one charge, they scattered the allied cavalry.

Miraculously, not a single cavalryman on their side fell from their horse.

"Hold them off!"

They had thought their cavalry could at least hold off the enemy for a while, but who would have thought they would be defeated in just one encounter.

Didn't we at all fail to gain any time?

Soldiers on the Allied flanks hurriedly organized a defense.

But no matter how you look at it, it's already too late.

Reality isn't a video game where you can just drag and drop with the right mouse button. An army that can achieve the standard of a video game would be considered the elite of the elite in reality.

Mette, protected in the middle by the King's Guard, stared at the direction from which Lynn and the others were coming.

He planted his wand in the ground and chanted a spell.

Chaotic magic gathered towards him.

It was clearly a spell intended to slow down movement.

But just as his spell was about to be completed, suddenly, the gathered chaotic magic power seemed to vanish, leaving him completely unable to perceive it. It was as if he had gathered all his strength to throw a punch, only to hit thin air, leaving him extremely uncomfortable.

Mette was stunned.

Because he discovered that he could no longer sense even a trace of chaotic magic.

It was as if he had suddenly become a Muggle who knew absolutely no magic.

What Mette didn't know was that this was actually Lynn's title, "Chosen Champion," whose active effect could turn an area with a diameter of one kilometer into a magic-free zone.

Although there is no immunity to this effect, Lynn and the Witchers will also be affected in the same way.

But it doesn't matter. Even if they can't release the signs, these witchers who have undergone two mutations are no longer comparable to ordinary people.

Lynn charged ahead, rushing into the flank of the Allied forces. With a side sweep of the Lake Maiden's Sword, which was as thick as a door panel, she took several lives.

Immediately afterwards, the other demon hunters followed Lynn and charged in.

The demon hunters weren't particularly skilled riders, but thanks to their exceptional physical abilities, they managed to hold onto their horses tightly and avoid being thrown off.

Although the two-handed sword in his hand was not as long as the lance specifically used for charging, once he charged into the enemy ranks, the two-handed sword was like the scythe of death, causing terrifying casualties to the enemy.

The last two hundred cavalrymen charged in, and after a fierce battle, the chaotic allied flank finally collapsed, descending into utter chaos.

The nobles and knights tried hard to maintain order, but Lynn and his demon hunters specifically targeted noble knights wearing cloaks and armor.

Before long, without the command of those nobles and knights, the chaos on the flanks of the allied forces could not be contained and spread like a plague to the front and rear.

Seeing the chaos within the Allied forces escalating, Lynn turned his horse around and led his men toward King Nidamir.

King Nidamir, on the other hand, was a bachelor.

When he saw the enemy cavalry attacking from the flank, wreaking havoc on his own lines, he did not hesitate to abandon his army and flee with his guards and the sorcerer Met.

He didn't give Lynn a chance to get close to him at all.

Even though the enemy forces on Lynn's side were in complete disarray, they posed no threat to him anymore.

However, the chaotic enemy forces greatly hindered his advance.

On the contrary, King Niedamir ran incredibly fast because there was no obstruction.

In the blink of an eye, they had already run a long way.

With no other option, Lynn had to abandon the pursuit and instead focus on defeating the enemy as quickly as possible.

"Everyone, shout with me: King Niedamir has fled!"

The battlefield was noisy and chaotic. Without the aid of magic, a person's shout would quickly be drowned out by the chaos. But Lynn had more than two hundred people on his side. When everyone shouted together, it would attract the attention of the nearby enemy troops.

Then they turned around and naturally noticed that King Niedamir's banner was gone.

Even the king is gone, so what's the point of them staying here to fight?
Thus, the Humphries alliance finally collapsed completely.

After the enemy retreated, the soldiers of the Restoration Army, who had fought fiercely on the battlefield, were so exhausted that they sat down on the ground without caring about the dirt.

The soldiers led by Count Iwato Castle attempted to give chase for a while.

But the ones who achieved the greatest success in pursuing the enemy forces were Lynn and the Witchers.

What's a bug with the Witcher is that even if the warhorse is so tired it foams at the mouth, it doesn't matter.

If all else fails, we can dismount and chase after them on foot; humans are much more durable than horses.

Even at night, the Witcher's eyesight remains unaffected.

In the end, almost all the nobles of the Humphries Alliance who were still alive, except for King Niedamir, were captured by the witchers.
