Chapter 616: When to Go Home?
In the process of the end of the fighting around Conrad and the army salvaging the spoils, everything seemed calm.
But the storm on Westdum is just rising.
Levi's killing of Pope Samir at Fort Conrad caused an uproar.
This is inevitable, after all, it is such a big thing.
St. Bouron was the first city to receive the news, and the Witcher was the first to receive the news from St. Bouren.
In St. Bouron, the power of the Holy Cult is much stronger than that of the Demon Hunters. At present, among St. Boren, there are 800 paladins alone, led by two elemental knights.
Knowing that they were invincible, the witchers of St. Bouron went into hiding.
As a result, when the Holy Sect got the news and began to search for demon hunters throughout the city, it could only catch some marginal characters, and the real core was long gone.
But in fact, the paladins are also panicking, the Pope is the 'sky' of the Holy Sect, and now the sky is falling.
They wasted too much time without a leader, and before they could move further, Levi and Madeleine returned to Saint-Bolen.
So the rest is pretty simple. The two elemental-level knight captains, one was killed, the other was captured, and they were imprisoned, and there was no further treatment for the time being. The hidden demon hunters also appeared, led by the new president of the St. Bouron Guild, the 'Mother of Dragons' Lady Madeleine, and began the construction of the demon hunter forces in the western realm.
And Levi, after solving the problem of St. Boren, returned to the army that was still climbing over the Asikrin Mountains.
Pan Deke is not dead yet, that guy still has more than 2,000 Holy Cult troops in his hands. It is conceivable that if Levi had not been in the army, the 'Glorious Overseers' would have tried to rescue the more than 2,000 Holy Cult soldiers who had become prisoners of war.
As it turned out, the coalition forces were attacked several times by the Holy Cult during the crossing of the Ascikrin Mountains, but they were easily repulsed.
By the time the army returned to St. Bouren, it was already the beginning of August.
And at this time, a vote of royal government officials from Westdum was also in place. After the uprooting of the Hargreaves, there was a complete power vacuum in the West. At this time, it is also the best time for the authority of the government to be established.
It stands to reason that they should have come sooner. However, after the news of Pope Samir's death reached Westdum, there was also a large-scale upheaval in the core of the kingdom, which led to the dispatch of men only now.
But that's enough.
Wang Ande has received news that he will be crowned a nobleman of the kingdom, and in the next few years, he will also lead a part of the kingdom's army as a defender, stationed in St. Bouron for a long time.
The basic stability maintenance strategy has been largely arranged. The witchers replaced the Holy Cult, and the city government formed by the central commission of the kingdom replaced the Hargreaves family, quickly filling the void in all aspects of St. Bouren.
And when the officials from Westdum arrived, the highest-ranking of them, and the acting mayor of St. Boren, came to pay a special visit to Levy.
He brought a greeting from Princess Yasha.
"Princess Yasha asks you, when will you return to Westdum? The princess misses you so much. When he spoke, Wen Haoge's attitude was very respectful.
He was not only showing his respect to the hero of the kingdom and the president of the witchers, but also to his future majesty the prince.
If eight months ago, people were a little unimpressed with Princess Yasha, now everyone has nothing but respect and awe for her.
Many people once thought that Yasha was a lucky little girl, relying on the help of the witchers and the Jiang family to return to the throne of Westdum, and she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so what could she do?
However, since Yasha took office, this impression has basically changed.
In just eight months, Westdum has gradually returned to calm, and from the upper to the lower districts, all production and life have returned to normal. The damaged city is also in the process of being restored, and the whole country is in full swing, rejuvenating rapidly.
And what she does especially well is the balance of interests of the various forces in Westdum. One of the most direct manifestations of this is the great contradiction between the brotherhood and the capitalist alliance. The great problem that had been so tense a few months ago that the fledgling kingdom was on the verge of falling back into civil strife had even subsided.
Officials of the Old Dynasty who were loyal to the Norsmans, the Old King's Party, the New King's Party, the Duke's Party, and the Brotherhood Party that had newly joined the kingdom's political scene...... There are so many political factions, intricate, but under Yasha's combing, the months are clear. Although the contradictions between them are still not small, they can at least perform their duties in the kingdom, and they are all in awe of her as Her Majesty.
This is not something that ordinary people can do, at least Levi was surprised to hear that his fiancée had achieved such results in such a short period of time.
In fact, the contradiction between the demon hunter and the Holy Sect was originally well balanced. However, all of this changed completely when the news of Levi's killing of Pope Samir came back. This can't be considered Yasha's fault, even if she has the ability to pass the sky, it is impossible for her to suppress the contradictions between the two sides in this situation.
And there is no doubt that Yasha is on her fiancé's side.
However, despite the very serious conflict between the Holy Cult and the Demon Hunters, Yasha still managed to control the situation to an acceptable level through the efforts of the Kingdom officials. In half a month, the whole thing basically went down, and the ending ended with the 'First Horseman' Berkeley leading the forces of the Holy Sect to withdraw from Westdum.
Yasha has already shown her qualities as a soon-to-be Queen, but in any case, she is first and foremost a person and a woman, and she naturally misses her husband, who is just engaged to lead the army.
Levi also felt a little guilty.
Not long after he got engaged, he led the army to the battle. After the two got engaged, they didn't have much time to spend together. When he came to the West, he initially thought that the war would not drag on for long, and that he would be able to return to Westdum in two or three months at most.
As a result, this battle lasted for half a year.
Retracting his thoughts, Levi sighed lightly and said, "If you go back, it may take a while." ”
"Then......" Wen Haoge continued, "in that case, when President Li has time, he can have a remote communication with the princess, and St. Borun should have the corresponding equipment." ”
"I will."
"Then I won't bother President Lee, and I'll take my leave first."
