From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

"What commission?"

"I want to explore a laboratory ruins, but the simple human soldiers make me worry, and I don't worry about how many people there are. The lives of soldiers are not to be ruined. So I need professional help."

"What do I need to do, guide?"

"More than that." Lan shook his head, thinking about the troubles that might be encountered in the laboratory, "Exploring the ruins is such a thing that people bring too many people and get in the way. I want to take as few people as possible. In this way, some strong guys are needed to make up for it." Due to lack of manpower, my aunt just opened Wangku for me.

So first question: How much do you know the recipe for Alchemy Bomb? I want to ask you to help make some for my soldiers. "

The inventor of the alchemy bomb was not a witcher. Many warlocks, alchemists, and even pharmacists knew a thing or two about its principles. Geralt had no need to keep these technologies secret.

"If it's strong enough, Honeycomb Bomb, Dragon's Dream, and Dancing Star should meet your requirements."

[Honeycomb Bomb]: Deals fragment damage to enemies within the explosion range and causes a small amount of fire damage. Effective against almost all monsters with the exception of a few extremely powerful boss-level enemies.

[Dragon Dream]: Alchemy bomb, its explosion will release flammable and violently burning gas. Multiple dragon's dream gas can ignite each other, causing a chain reaction that can damage a large number of enemies scattered in a wide area.

[Dancing Star]: A bomb with huge destructive power, a bomb that can burst into flames. Especially effective against creatures that like to attack in groups and are afraid of fire, it can burn enemies. Cooperating with the gas produced by the Dragon's Dream bomb has a miraculous effect.

Lan En was overjoyed when he heard this, and these were exactly what he needed: "Great, how many of these bombs do you usually carry with you?"

Geralt reached into his alchemy backpack and took out something: "This is a honeycomb. I usually carry four of them on me. Dragon Dream and Dancing Star can only be targeted to make a few before special missions. The bomb cost Gao Gao, I still use the sword more often."

Lan scratched his chin and asked: "I have experienced the power of honeycombs, and they are quite powerful, so let's make 40 first. You can also make 10 of the other two kinds first, and I will see the effect. If the power is considerable, it will be the same as honeycombs." .”

Geralt was stunned for a moment, and asked with his ear, "...how much did you say?"

…………

Half a month later.

The martial arts arena of the city guards.

Lan and Geralt stood opposite each other, stepping slowly and tentatively.

After a few times of bumping against the sword ridges, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and started to rotate at the same time, like sword moves and dance steps, with light feet and sword sweeps like wind.

The sound of "Dang Dang Dang" resounded continuously in the martial arts arena, and the ear-piercing sound of steel rubbing tormented the ear nerves of everyone watching the battle.

In the martial arts arena, everyone watching the battle whispered. The soldiers surrounded the two men in the center, and every time the swords collided, there was a cry of exclamation.

In the crowd, Sward said to Ace with a look of admiration: "It's really amazing. It's the first time I've seen someone who can compete with the Earl."

Ace nodded: "You can see his skills from the time he was a griffin. Monsters hunt humans, and demon hunters hunt monsters. They are really powerful. What's more, this is the famous 'White Wolf'."

He patted Sward on the shoulder as he spoke, and said, "Don't look, half a month has passed, what can I learn? Why don't you have this time to familiarize yourself with those alchemy bombs, this is related to the Lord Earl's future plans."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the shooting range.

Sward turned around and wanted to find friends, but Ace went to shoot arrows, and House liked to stay with Black Wind, and he and the city guards were not as good as Ace. He could only turn his head and continue to appreciate the duel between the two superb swordsmen.

"Who says you can't learn it? You can't learn something by watching it a few times..." Sward said to himself unconvinced, watching the collisions of the two hunks in the field with bright eyes.

With a "click", the training sword in Lan En's hand suddenly shattered into a small piece. Before he could react and adjust his sword holding, the spinning pace had no time to stop due to inertia.

After another five or six rounds of slashing like a storm, Lan En's sword unexpectedly broke from the middle, and half of the sword flew out spinning.

Lane also staggered a few steps, and then quickly distanced himself from Geralt.

Geralt asked breathlessly, "That's it?"

Lan En nodded and looked at the practice sword in his hand: "That's it. This sword that has been tortured for half a month can finally rest."

"It's unimaginable that your strength can be so great." Geralt sighed. "I even think that several guys in the school are inferior to you."

Lan shook his head: "But I'm still far behind you in terms of skills."

During the past half month, Lann took Geralt to practice every day, as if treating him like a fully automatic sparring machine. And the effect is also remarkable. So far, Lan can finally use the skills of sword dance in actual combat, and has an effective means of coping when faced with the encirclement of multiple enemies.

Of course, the [Whirling Sword Dance] in the system panel is still dim. Lan En is looking forward to how much his sword moves will be strengthened after clicking on this skill.

Lane and Geralt sat to rest. Geralt was a little tired and began to close his eyes to rest his mind. He practiced with Lann during the day and had to spare time to make alchemy bombs, which was quite a burden for him.

Lane was watching the training of soldiers. Stop leaning, he waved at Ace, and the arrow servant quickly ran over.

"Where's Milva?"

Ace replied: "She doesn't like the barracks very much, she didn't come out in the morning, and she has been in the shooting range of the mansion for the past few days."

Lan En nodded and asked again: "How is she?"

Ace hesitated for a moment: "My lord, with all due respect... she is a woman. The soldiers should not be allowed to take up their swords before they have died."

Lann gave him a blank look, and sighed, "You dare to say such a thing in Sintra. It's lucky that your family is still a knight."

What distinguishes Sintra from other countries? -The answer is "Lioness".

Ace blinked his eyes in astonishment, then reacted suddenly, and looked around in a cold sweat.

Lan En slapped him on the forehead to bring him back to his senses, and reprimanded him: "Can your arrow skills be better than Ms. Ellie's? Say this now. And the enemy won't look carefully when holding a sword. Male or female, old or young. I asked you how about Milva, answer me now!"

Rubbing his forehead, Ace muttered a few words such as "chivalry" and "manners", and returned:

"Her archery skills are astonishing. With that ridiculous toy-like bow in her hand, she can outperform most city guard soldiers. Give her a strong enough guy, and after a period of running-in, I think she Even better than most dryads!"

Lane nodded, satisfied as expected.

Ace then added: "But..."
