Carry a Ride-and-slash System with You

Miao Dao slashed, and an arm holding a spear flew high into the sky.

"Mar, control him!"

Under Geralt's order, Marr, who was out of the way, bullied himself up again. The cavalry commander who lost an arm curled up on the ground in pain. Knocking the cavalry commander with the back of the axe, he simply stopped the blood, and bound him with clothes.

The leader of the cavalry fell, and the remaining stubborn enemy cavalry were demoralized one after another. They wanted to escape, but were chased back by the surrounding mercenary cavalry. Seeing the hopeless escape, the enemy cavalry threw their weapons and fell to the ground.

This time, Geralt did not order a total annihilation, and asked the soldiers to take all the surrendered enemy cavalry in custody and kill the enemy cavalry who were still stubbornly resisting, and the war came to an end.

"The cavalry regiment escorted the prisoners back to the stronghold, and the infantry regiment and the archer unit cleaned the battlefield!"

Geralt sat on the black horse and gave orders, and the soldiers who heard the order followed the order.

Sixty soldiers of the cavalry regiment escorted the remaining forty prisoners who were still alive and returned to the stronghold. Of course, the cavalry commander was among them. Geralt asked Mar to accompany him, focusing on the cavalry commander.

Marr nodded and followed the returning team, and asked the cavalry regiment to bring his master with him.

Rigas was lying on a simple stretcher and was carried back by two cavalry scouts.

The remaining soldiers swept the battlefield, confiscated dozens of intact weapons, some of them were broken, dozens of usable cavalry bows, and also removed the damaged cavalry bow strings.

The 27 dead war horses were transported back to the base to be skinned and boned, and the remaining 43 war horses were collected, which were just used to carry supplies and wounded.

This battle allowed Geralt to see the strength of the regular army of the nobles in this world. Except for the casualties in the wolf's nest, today is the only warrior Geralt has sent away for so long.

Yes, although there was only one casualty in the team, it also reminded Geralt that he and his warriors are not invincible now, no matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop the secret attack. arrows.

Looking at the skilled mercenary infantryman lying on the ground with arrows in their sockets, Geralt pulled out the arrows with his own hands and supported his eyes that were still open. Geralt knelt on one knee on the ground, gave him a military salute and said softly, "May In the afterlife, we can fight side by side.”

The surrounding soldiers also gave him a military salute: "Go well, brother!"

Geralt got up and ordered the soldiers to bring the dead soldier back to the base. Geralt ordered everyone to bundle up supplies and prepare for the return journey.

Leaving a few soldiers to erase the traces of the battlefield, Geralt led the crowd to bring the supplies and horses back to the stronghold.

He ordered the soldiers to disband and watch over the prisoners. Geralt dismounted and walked back to the council chamber. Behind him, a soldier led the war horse to the stables.

"Let Harry come to me when he's done."

Back in the council room, Geralt gave instructions to the little maid Sisi.

"Okay sir, is the war over?" Qianxi's voice was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, clear and soft.

Geralt nodded: "It's over for now, but it's hard to say what's next."

Qianxi let out a small sigh of relief: "Then I'll go to Lord Harry."

Sisi left, and Geralt sat on the throne alone, thinking about what to do next.

............

When Geralt led the crowd to meet the enemy, Harry in the territory was not idle. He first followed Geralt's order to let the soldiers of the preparation team put on armor to guard the stronghold, and then ordered people to boil several large pots of sugar water. In order to convince the people of the territory that it was a plague, Harry even added some herbs with great flavor to the sugar water.

Let the people of the territory gather together, the armored reserve soldiers guard the stronghold on the periphery, and Harry gave the people in the territory the sugar water with a strong herbal flavor.

The commoners with pottery bowls in their hands gathered and drank sugar water, and there was a lot of discussion. The trustees who were arranged by Harry in the crowd said, "The epidemic is coming, we have to obey the orders of the adults more, and it's hard to live a good life. Days, you can't cause trouble for adults."

"Don't worry everyone, I heard that Lord Geralt's medical skills are extremely high. This is the potion he prepared, and it will be fine after drinking it."

The commoners nodded in approval, and their nervous hearts were relieved for a while.

The reason why the civilians were coaxed to say that the disease was coming was because Geralt was worried that under the panic of the war, the civilians would flee and cause trouble for Geralt and the others. These were civilians who could not survive in the north. People are more afraid of the cloud of war.

Harry faithfully fulfilled Geralt's entrustment until he saw the cavalry team escorting the prisoners back, knowing that the dust had settled, and his hanging heart was relieved.

He told everyone that they didn't have to go to work today and could rest for a day, and then ordered the civilians who were a little overwhelmed while watching the cavalry escorting the captives to disperse. Harry turned around and walked over to the captives.

"Arrange them in the dungeon and interrogate them for information."

Harry, who walked to the side of the cavalry captain, ordered him.

"Understood, Lord Harry."

The captain of the cavalry commanded his men to send the prisoners into the dungeon one by one, and he started to torture the prisoners with a horse whip.

After a while, the cavalry held a few papyrus and handed it to Harry, who was waiting in the hall of the dungeon for the soldiers to rest.

"Master Harry, this is the consistent information obtained by tortured a dozen different prisoners. I think it should be true."

Harry flipped through the papyrus, and nodded.

"Well, well done, continue to torture, try to get as many things as possible."

"clear."

The cavalry captain signaled clearly and returned to the dungeon.

"Lord Harry, the lord asked you to go to the council hall to find him"

At this moment, Sisi, who had asked where Harry was located, came over to explain her purpose.

Harry nodded: "Understood, I'll go right over."

Putting the papyrus in his clothes, Harry went to report to Geralt.

Arriving at the council hall, Geralt's figure sitting upright on the treasure seat caught his eye. Harry respectfully stepped forward and handed over the information from the torture.

"Sir, here is some information, please take a look."

Geralt took it and read it one by one.

"....Halmi Khanate..."

"....Eagle Territory..."

"....Baron Hayne Reed..."

Geralt murmured while browsing the information on the papyrus.

"I see."

Putting the papyrus on the armrest of the throne, Geralt suddenly realized.

It turned out that there was an oolong, and their target was only the bandits on Baishi Mountain.

But this battle should be fought. The gangsters from Shiraishi Mountain have already been cleaned up by Geralt. Letting them in is equivalent to exposing the territory, so no matter whether their target is territory or not, this battle will happen as it is now.

"We didn't make a mistake in this battle, but how should we deal with it next?"

Harry asked Geralt.

And while Sissy was looking for Harry, Geralt, who had been sitting on the throne thinking for a long time, replied.

"Let's get the first move!"
