Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1406 1378. Knights

Geralt set off from Castle Highhill after breakfast, without even riding Carrot.

This hill may be small or big, but if covert action is ensured, there is no need to ride a horse.

The white wolf tied his head rope, carried two Valyrian steel swords on his back, and wore the armor of the High Wolf School. On the hanging points of the armor, a row of alchemy bombs shook and collided.

On the leather strap slung across his shoulders, there were more than a dozen bottles of various magic potion test tubes inserted into it.

His eyes were murderous.

After all, if it is really as Lan En feels, so many troubles can be connected together. Geralt can't imagine who he is and what he wants to do with Ciri!

But whether he dared to imagine it or not, he was already taking action for Ciri.

The little girl who was once so small, like a hamster, and like a burden is now who dares to take advantage of her. That white wolf will knock out a few teeth of others even if she dies!

Tracking down the traces of a group of covert people in a mountain, even a small mountain, would take days, or even weeks.

On Xianide Island, the Sorceress Academy is still preparing for various matters, including issuing notices to some sorcerers who are reclusive and obsessed with research.

Regardless of the fact that in the palaces of the northern kingdoms, those warlocks who play with power and desire power are jumping up and down, but there are also many who do not do this.

They have to find the person first and then notify them.

The Supreme Council of Warlocks and the Association of Talents and Skills were spellcaster management organizations established in the Novigrad Alliance at the time when the first human warlocks appeared.

If these two organizations are going to hold a conference, all warlocks who are not connected with northern human society must know about it.

In order to establish his prestige as a manager, [Pure White] Rafaeld, who did not recognize these two organizations, even though he had become the regent archmage of Temeria at that time, he was almost overshadowed by his prestige in mediating the war. Even if he becomes king, he will be beaten to death.

And to this day, no one dares to deny the management authority of these two organizations over the northern warlock group, whether it is a group of warlocks or a group of mortals.

This management authority is achieved through practical magic.

It's normal for them to hold a summit meeting and it takes such a long time to prepare.

But the basic meeting time is set for two weeks and will not change.

And here in Gaoqiu Castle, basically as long as Stewart's mutation is completed, it proves that the supporting support of [Big Eater Vitality] for [Grass Trial] can greatly increase the success rate.

Then let a few more people start mutating at once, and two weeks is almost enough.

Two weeks later, Lan En, Triss, and Geralt will rush to Arethusa to attend, or at least watch, the big meeting of warlocks.

"Everything is stuck until two weeks later. That's ok."

The young witcher looked at the rugged hills and lush vegetation outside the stone window of the tower.

"Let me see who is going to take action and what they want to do!"

——

In the hidden part of the hill where Gaoqiu Fort is located, a group of people are scattered scatteredly.

"Shit mutant castle!"

The iron glove held a file and was filing it against the small shield hanging on the heart of the knight's armor amidst a harsh sound.

The spots of light projected between the shades of the trees illuminated the metal powder that had been ground away and flew away, as well as the original logo on the small shield that gradually lost its shape.

——It is a white rose blooming on a red background.

"Foltest would rather grant such a castle to a despicable mutant than grant him a loyal and brave human knight! It's simply ridiculous!"

Originally, even if you wanted to replace the small shield placed on the chest of the armor, you could simply disassemble it. It was just a job that the retinue could do. There was no need to file off the original small shield.

Obviously, the knight forgot to bring a replacement small coat of arms, so he had no choice but to file the originally intact one into pieces.

"Don't be carried away by anger, Knight Falwick." Sitting on a tree stump, another knight who was obviously older took a puff of his pipe and said.

He is much more sophisticated, and has no markings to prove his identity.

"The anger here is best used to chop off the heads of the Mutant Knights. As for our king, do you know where he is now? He seems to have been running around doing nothing for several months. "

"Hmph, I don't know how I became a king but my whereabouts are elusive. But it's not surprising. After he announced that he wanted to marry his sister and got her pregnant, he did some morally corrupt, stupid and blind things. I’m not surprised either.”

A reminder came from the side of the old knight: "Be careful what you say, the evil child born from the pregnancy between brother and sister is now sitting on the princess's seat, and the person who caused all this is still a mutant named Geralt. "

The old knight roared twice in his throat, tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of phlegm, smiling nonchalantly.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, what else should we be careful about?"

"We are all glorious knights who fight bravely to bring order to chaos! We already have great trust in each other!"

"Now there is a mutant who has made a name for himself, and he actually has a shameless armed force under his command that can be called the Knights. The Eternal Fire will not forgive this evil that betrays humanity!"

"Today we have a knight group led by mutants, what? Later in the parliament, we will sit at the same table with a group of guys who kneel to mutants? Humans have to salute mutants?!"

"This is the human world! It is the world that our ancestors diligently snatched from those despicable and inferior non-human races and monsters with swords! Now those monsters are delusional and want to snatch it back!"

The old knight puffed on his pipe, but his expression was as cold as if he was biting the flesh of a non-human race.

"So we are here now!" Falvik, who had polished the shield on his chest, said in a deep voice, "My brothers have abandoned all conflicts and are now going to overthrow the evil castle occupied by mutants!"

"And when we complete this feat, we will prove to all the kingdoms in the north! The Knights of Mutants are ultimately inferior garbage!"

"At that time, we can openly fly the banner of the White Rose! Even if we have to bear legal responsibility for this and go to the war court, it will be worth it!"

The wheels are rumbling, and the knights' hard roars make this place look like a large construction site.

The mountain where Gaoqiu Castle is located is not big, but stretching eastward is the largest and continuous forest wetland in the Velen area.

This ancient and humid forest has been growing here before humans landed in this world, and because of the remote and rugged terrain, the soil is also wet and muddy.

In addition, the Velen area is sparsely populated, so it has not been cut down and developed on a large scale by intelligent life until now.

It is a completely primitive appearance.

One by one, the sturdy logs were transported here, and then dispersed to five locations on the hill, where they were processed and forged by the knights stationed there.

Not to mention that the bastards who succumbed to the mutants didn't find them, even if they found that there were people like them on this hill, what would happen?

Do they think they can rely on the castle that belongs to humans to fight an advantageous defense battle?

Dream on!

The White Rose Knights had already figured it out. The supplies from Temeria in the High Hill Castle were all available, and they were supplied to the Embers Knights in full accordance with the specifications of the knights of their own country.

However, due to the remote and rugged terrain, and the implicit joint efforts of the White Rose Knights and many like-minded knights in the Templar Council, the defense equipment was directly converted into monthly salary and distributed.

And those ridiculous mutant knights didn't even realize that something was wrong, and they directly received the gold coins.

This was even more equivalent to direct acquiescence, so in the next two years, the Templar Council saw that no one came out to raise objections, so they just did it this way.

Until now, there has been no large-scale equipment on the castle belonging to humans.

But here, the siege equipment is almost completed!

According to the planned construction period, it only takes more than a week. Just more than a week.

The knights who received intelligence support from the Knights and fully understood the internal structure of this small mountain area and the high hill castle, looked through the mountains and forests with vicious eyes and accurately looked at the location of the castle.

"Why do we have to wait for more than a week?" A knight who was taking time to eat a piece of bread asked in confusion, "They have no equipment. We can just make two machines and kill them all. Do we have to finish everything according to the plan?"

"This is the requirement of the Knights. You don't want to do it? I don't want to do it either! Go and talk to your superiors!"

The knight who was eating bread was angrily said: "Isn't it the king who is urging us? I heard that the royal messenger has come to our base several times, saying that we should quickly gather to the Yaruga River to change defense and train soldiers."

"What did the commander say?"

Like an old farmer, the knight who was squatting and eating bread smiled, but that smile did not have the simplicity or cunning of an old farmer. The corner of his mouth with bread crumbs was only malicious!

"The captain said that it takes time to gather the knights. Haha!"

"It's a pity that we can't gather openly and raze this tainted castle to the ground! Otherwise, with the money and resources sponsored by the church, we can mobilize the poor good people in this barren land to work together to eliminate the pollution stuck in the human territory."

"That's enough for now." The old knight stuffed another ball of tobacco into his pipe and smiled, "Five hundred people against sixty. Although it's a siege, there are weapons against those without weapons. Haha, I will pile up their bodies and burn a big bonfire when the time comes!"

As he said, the old knight raised his pipe above his head and made a respectful look: "May the eternal fire protect us!"

"And the captain!" The knight who was eating bread choked twice, but still quickly followed up with a sentence, "Thank you for guiding us!"

"If there was no captain, we wouldn't have so many people and connections now."

He smiled honestly, but the knights around him who were either working or sorting out their equipment during the break had different expressions.

Some agreed, while others were faintly disdainful.

Rudolf Valaris, the current leader of the Knights of the White Rose.

It was also under his leadership that the Knights, which once symbolized honor, character, and noble status, became a place where even the son of a shoemaker and the apprentice of a tailor could enter as long as they paid a bag full of gold coins.

Many people who were rich but had no status put on the cloak of a knight and hung the shield of the Knights of the White Rose during this period.

Some people in the Knights were critical of this, but often when the money they paid became the fees for hiring prostitutes, the knights would not say anything.

After all, when a man is sleeping with a prostitute, his mind is often very simple.
