Chapter 231

A day, to be exact, only about two hours in total. Brugg's capital fell.

The king surrendered with nothing and declared Sintra a vassal state henceforth. As long as he continues to sit in that chair, it doesn't matter to him who he is loyal to.

The Battle of Brugg shocked the entire continent. Even though it's just too small to be small. However, the combat power shown by Sintra still shocked the entire Northern Continent. At this time, everyone realized that this was only the beginning, and that Sintra had shown such great power that he would never be satisfied with just one Brugg.

While the northern countries were watching, the Skellig Islands also suddenly moved. The fleet suddenly blockaded the kingdom of Hidaris, and within a day, Hidaris also fell. At this point, the islands of Hidaris, Verdon (originally a vassal of Sintra), Brugg, Sintra, and Skellig were connected. Most of the entire west coast has fallen into the hands of Sintra.

So far, of the countries around Sintra, only one Soden has not been attacked. This made the rulers of Soden uneasy. The torment of not knowing when the disaster would come was too much for him to bear. In the end, he decided to surrender like Sintra in exchange for his own throne.

However, the results were unexpected. Because Sintra directly rejected Soden's allegiance. Declare that the war is raging and there is no time to accept Soden's allegiance. This move took many people by surprise. However, some people also see the clues. Because in the south there is also a Nilfgaard.

Nilfgaard's strength, everyone knows. He has always been ambitious to unify the North. Despite the turmoil experienced in previous years. But the vitality was not damaged. And the new king was even more domineering. I definitely won't be at ease in the south. The battle of the Northern Expedition will appear sooner or later.

If Sintra had accepted Soden's allegiance at this time. Once Nilfgaard has three options on the north. Sintra, Soden, and Aria. Arya and Sintra are separated by mountains to the south. So the best option is Soden. If Soden returns to Sintra, once Nilfgaard goes north. It's the same as confronting Sintra. And with Sintra's strength now, Nilfgaard would not choose her as the first target as long as her brain was not bad. Therefore, Sintra's refusal is clearly to leave a way for Nilfgaard to go north.

You know, Nephgaard had been coveting Aden for a long time. Some even suspect that Sintra and Nilfgaard may have reached some sort of secret agreement. After all, there is gossip that the new king of Nilfgaard is the husband of Princess Sintrapaveta.

Either way, Sintra upset the balance that had existed for many years in the North. Temeria, for its part, was already beginning to assemble troops. Prepare for a crusade against Sintra, and the great battle is about to break out.

And Sintra, who took Sidaris and Brugg, was in no hurry to expand. Rather, the rearmament of the armies of the two countries began. Collect grain, recruit farmers, and stabilize the local situation. As for the build-up of Temoria, they don't seem to have taken it to heart.

At this time, the Aretusa Academy of Magic. We welcomed a somewhat special guest, or graduate, Yennefer. When she arrived, her teacher, Principal Margarita, was already aware of it.

"Yennefer, what a rarity. After you left Aden without permission, I thought you would never come back. ”

"Why don't you come back? It's my second home, even though I don't have a good impression of it. But home is always something you can't forget. Yennefer's attitude made Margarita frown slightly.

"Yennefer, I know you're in Sintra right now. But I would like to remind you that what Sintra is doing is threatening the Warlock Guild, the northern situation that has been maintained for thousands of years. Someone is already very unhappy with you. The Warlock Guild is even preparing to vote to impose sanctions on you. ”

"Sanctions? Hehe, interesting. Then let them come. Order is something that has always been used to break it. I have broken the order now, and I am certainly ready to withstand the counterattack of the collapse of the old order. But when I establish a new order. They also need to be prepared to withstand the changes of the new order. ”

"You think you're better than fighting the Warlock Guild alone?"

"Warlock Guild? It's not that I look down on them, as far as I know, all the votes of the entire Warlock Guild for the last thirty years. Never more than two-thirds of the time. This forced the Warlock Guild to change the rules of voting. Two-thirds of the votes are no longer required, only half are sufficient. Otherwise, none of the Warlocks' Guild will pass a resolution. Am I right, teacher? ”

"This time it was different, Terrelia was putting the pressure on. Many of the warlocks who were originally neutral have been shaken. ”

"Really? So what do you think I'm here to do? ”

"You, you're here on behalf of Sintra? But with all due respect, Sintra has far more influence on Erethusa than Sintra. You don't have much of a chance. ”

"No, you're wrong. Teacher, I'm here on behalf of Sintra, but I'm not here to put pressure on you. I'm here to bribe you. Yennefer said, pulling out a crystal bottle, which contained about half a liter or so of blood.

"I've got it for you, teacher."

"What is this?" Margarita could feel a strong icy magic through the bottle. She felt like dragon's blood. But dragon blood she had seen, although it was also a precious magical material. But there is absolutely no such high concentration of mana.

"Dragon's blood. The blood of an unknown Elder Dragon, to be exact. There's magic in it like you've never seen it before. I've experimented with the North Wind made by using this dragon's blood, and the power can be magnified tenfold. The other alchemy potions are similar. ”

"It can't be, there's no such dragon at all."

"It's just that you haven't seen it. The dragon's corpse is still in my lab, and teachers are welcome to visit it at any time. By the way, if you say I'm bribing with this thing, will those neutral warlocks lean in my favor? ”

"How many of these do you have?"

"Well, we killed the dragon. Then immediately using magic, all the wounds were sealed, while keeping the blood alive. So, ninety percent of the dragon's blood was left. By the way, that dragon is more than three times larger than a normal dragon. That's about ...... Well, I can't count how much blood there is. Anyway, a lot. ”

“.…… Well, you can buy off all the Warlocks in the entire Warlock Guild. ”
