Chapter 2668: The World of War (I intend to try to integrate and evolve)
The heavy rain poured down.
In the dim room, a serious and gray-haired man was staring at the map in front of him, silent.
He was the biological father of Xiri, and the emperor of Niphgad, the great empire that was about to unify the entire continent, Enshir Enris.
For Enhill, the situation in front of him is very subtle. With the destruction of the Royal City of Redania, the resistance of the entire Northland Alliance will be empty. Next, as long as Niphgaard heads north, he can unify the entire continent.
But things are far from that simple.
First, the army of Radania, who had lost the king, did not become a mess of sand. On the contrary, they actually knelt down under the Eternal Fire Sect, claiming that they would fight for the great God of Fire forever. The ignorant and superstitious behavior of these barbarians really gave Enhill a headache. But this is nothing. After all, the combat effectiveness of the army of Radania is only to fight the five scumbags, and it is only a matter of time to eliminate them.
But the other two issues have to be taken seriously by Enhill.
The first thing was that he appeared in the Eternal Fire Sect, the King of Fire who claimed to be Ragnaros. At first, Enshire thought that it was just a rumor on the streets, but soon his spies reported to him a unified message from different channels. In other words, there was indeed a terrifying existence condensed by flames and a height of 100 meters. As for what it was... no one could explain it.
Considering that the other party destroyed the Royal City of Redania with a meteor, Enshire had to suspend his march. If he provoked the other party, one day a fire meteor hit Nifgad's royal city, he had no choice.
The second point is very depressing, because according to the spy's report, his biological daughter Xiriya actually became the envoy of this Eternal Fire Sect?!
This is embarrassing.
You should know that Enshire had only one daughter like Chilia in his life. He always hoped that his daughter could return to his side and become the heir of this empire. Niphgad's attitude towards religion was forbidden and denied. They believed that the so-called religion was nothing more than the product of superstition and ignorance in the world, and basically needed to be broken and eliminated.
Now, my dad is busy eliminating the remnants of feudal superstition, and his daughter actually went to be a messenger of the church.
This is simply a self-mouthed slap.
It is precisely because of this that the situation in the north is now in a subtle form. Nifgad did not act rashly, and Novigre was also busy with internal reforms. The two sides temporarily formed a tacit ceasefire.
However, no one knows what will happen next.
Just as the man was pondering, the door opened, and then his servant walked in.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor, the white flames flying on his enemy's grave, Ehil Enris the Great Emperor!"
As he spoke, the attendant bowed respectfully to him, and a man with white hair next to him also imitated him to bow respectfully.
"Everyone goes out, the witch hunter stays."
Enhill waved his hand, and soon the others left, and only the white-haired man stayed. It was not until the door closed again that Enhill stood up and looked at the white-haired man in front of him.
"I thought you wouldn't salute anyone, Geralt."
That's right, the white-haired man who appeared in front of Enhill was nothing but Cialis' adoptive father, and Geralt, a famous witch hunter from Levia.
Hearing Enhill's words, Geralt raised his eyebrows, and the weather-beaten face with several scars had no expression on his face.
"You summoned me not to remember the past, so..."
"Shut up."
Before Geralt finished speaking, Enhill interrupted him in anger. For Enhill, that was not a past worth remembering.
It was when Enhill was young. When he was thirteen years old, Nifgaard had a coup. Enhill's father was overthrown, and the usurper also cursed Enhill, turning him into a monster. After that, Geralt helped him lift the curse and restore the original state of this guy who was not human and ghost. In return, Enhill accepted Geralt's "accidental law" and gave him his child - which is also why Geralt became Ciri's adoptive father.
For Enhill, who now ruled the entire Nifgad Empire and was about to unify the continent, that dark history was obviously something he didn't want to recall.
"Have you heard of something that happened in Redania recently?"
"What's up?"
"My daughter...Chilia is back."
"real?"
Hearing this, Geralt also showed a surprised expression. He had been searching for traces of Cili, but he had found nothing. Now, there is finally a clue?
"Yes, she is in Novigre now. I want you to go to Novigre, find her, and bring her back."
"Why me?"
Hearing this, Geralt asked in confusion.
"Because she trusts you, and most importantly, something is wrong now...Do you know what happened to Novigre?"
"Novigri?"
"It seems that the information has not reached your ears yet."
Looking at the witch hunter in front of him, Enhill sneered.
"Just a while ago, Novigre appeared a terrifying existence condensed by flames and a height of 100 meters. It claimed to be the King of Flame. Because the Eternal Fire Sect distorted its doctrine and pretended to be the power of the tiger, the King of Flame burned the entire bishops, including the Archbishop, into coke, and sent a messenger to control the entire tribe - that messenger was Cialia."
“………………Chiri? God’s Messenger?”
Hearing this, Geralt was also confused.
"Yes, I'm not very clear about the specific information. The empire is also investigating, but we cannot act rashly. You may not know that after that, Eternal Fire accused King Radania of inciting the 'witch hunt' operation and punishing him. The other party was very annoyed... and then the entire royal city was smoothed out by a meteor falling from the sky."
“…………………… Are you kidding?”
"I hope this is a joke. I asked my consultant, all the warlocks, but they told me that no matter how powerful a warlock is, it is impossible to create a fire giant up to hundreds of meters, and summon a fire meteor that can destroy the capital. So I don't know what's going on there, and I can't explain it all. No one can explain it, so I want you to investigate, figure out what happened, and then bring Cialia back."
Speaking of this, Enhill stared at Geralt.
"Is there any other problem? If you have any questions, ask Yennefa."
"It's gone."
Geralt nodded and turned around to leave, but soon he stopped and turned around.
"Do you want to play a game of Gund?"
"certainly."
When Enhil heard Geralt's invitation, his eyes lit up.
"I'm a card player!"
Just as the two men both forgot their daughter and were addicted to playing cards, Fang Zheng took Lis, Miaojie and Xili to leave Novigri and were exploring and patrolling the wilderness.
Now Novigri has become quite calm. The reason why the Eternal Fire Sect can dominate this city of freedom and even become the real master of the city is because the residents here are backward, ignorant, and superstitious. Since the pastors of the church can deceive those people with their 3-inch tongue, then when the real gods appear, these people naturally believe in Eternal Fire more deeply.
Xili was not interested in handling government affairs, so she directly found a few bishops and temple guards with good reputation, and asked them to handle it on their behalf. At present, the main job of Eternal Fire is to eliminate the four major mafia entrenched in the city. Among them, the one who hacked Xili was caught by Fang Zheng, and then was imprisoned and executed in public by Xili, which was a pity that she was angrily snatched by the other party.
In addition, Eternal Fire also faces the army of Redanians who surrender from all directions. It can be said that after a fire meteor in Fangzheng exploded over the royal city, Novigri, where Eternal Fire is located, became the core of the north. All the priests were sent to declare the new doctrine of Eternal Fire everywhere, etc.... But naturally some people did these, so Xiri took the three of them to leave Novigri and went around to carry out the "witch hunter" work.
I have to admit that this world is still very beautiful. I rode my horse on the grassland, staring at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, blowing across the grassland with the wind, dancing with the green grassland, giving people a sense of vitality.
However, behind this beautiful scenery, there is also a dark side.
For example, when crossing the hills, the originally beautiful grass turned into a dark battlefield, with corpses everywhere without buried, and ghouls who wantonly bite the corpses. Or follow the path of sheep intestines, and then leave the forest and see several corpses hanging on wooden stakes floating in the wind.
It can be said that the word war shows its most primitive, cruel and bloody side here.
Xiri was used to it, but for Lis and Miaojie, this situation still made them a little unbearable.
As for Fang Zheng, he can only turn a blind eye.
In fact, he had seen such things many times during the Warring States Period. In Fang Zheng's view, the battle between Niphragard and the northern countries in this world was similar to that of Qin and the six kingdoms at that time. Of course, from Fang Zheng's perspective, he supported a unified civilization. Because a unified country, a unified civilization and a unified system can bring about a peaceful and stable order.
But on the other hand, you cannot force the other party's methods of doing things. It is normal for deserters and thieves to be hanged. Killing and brutal behavior in war cannot be avoided. When Qin soldiers entered the six kingdoms, they were not necessarily more civilized than soldiers of the Niphgad Empire, so it can only be said... For later generations, both Qin and Niphgad were worthy of praise, but for the people of that era, these two countries were no different from demons.
Having said that, both Qin and Nifgaard’s representative colors are black... Is this a coincidence?
"Although I've seen it several times, I'm still not used to this..."
Looking at the corpses hanging from wooden stakes, Miao Jie's face was a little stiff.
"It's great that Princess Elphin didn't come."
"I'm... very uncomfortable."
"This is war."
Xili was not as sad as the two girls. She shook her head and looked forward.
