The catastrophe of the Kingdom of Kodwin, the devastation of the Warlock Brotherhood, and the spread of hellish monsters not only made the entire North more mysterious and dangerous, hastening the chaos of the entire Northern Kingdoms, but also attracted the Southern Empire Niffgard, which had been expanding by force and eyeing the resources of the Northern Kingdoms.

At a time when all the kings of the north are looking at the trivial things in their own country, a crisis that is about to sweep the whole north has quietly come.

However, crisis, crisis!

Danger also breeds opportunities, whether it is a careerist for the northerners, a soldier for the southerners, a mercenary for money, or a demon hunter order, this is an opportunity for them to rise quickly.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the year is 1256, six years before Ciri and Geralt met in the original book.

The disappearance of the fog did not make the situation of the Kingdom of Kodwin any better, but because of the continuous spread of thousands of monsters, the foundation of the entire kingdom's rule was shaken.

Although the fog was dangerous, it covered only about one-fifth of the country's area, and most of the other regions faced some threats, but still allowed ordinary people to survive.

And now, when all the monsters in the fog have spread to the forests, fields, and near those villages, the villagers who are neither equipped nor capable of fighting can resist the attacks of those monsters, and they can no longer continue to live in those dilapidated villages without protection.

Instead of building high walls and dividing most of the young and strong labor force to train guards and militias to protect the safety of their families.

It is to abandon his hometown, take all his belongings, go to the stronger city, and accept the fate of being oppressed.

Today, the wilderness of Koldwin has become a paradise for monsters, and the escaped Fallen Demon Wizards have become small leaders of monster groups, resurrecting a large number of corpses and entrenching themselves in various parts of the kingdom of Kodwin.

And those who survived the fallen humans, under the command of some leaders, became the most brutal bandits in the wilderness.

They have raided towns, looted villages, captured the inhabitants who surrendered, and transformed them into their own, and have developed a pattern similar to that of bandit camps and even petty warlords throughout the country.

However, at the moment, these are only troubles within the Kingdom of Kodwin, and have not yet spread to those nearby countries.

Because Hensette has been unconscious, the two major aristocratic power groups are still in the stage of confrontation and disputes in order to compete for the throne.

Without a unified leadership, the strength of the Kingdom of Kodwin has rapidly declined, and it is simply unable to rectify these troubles.

Originally, as a group of spellcasters in the north, the Warlock Brotherhood had the responsibility to help the Kingdom of Kodwin rid of these monsters from another world.

However, during these three years, those fallen warlocks who were corrupted by the forces of hell also began to appear around the world one after another, causing a lot of trouble and restraining many of the power of the Warlock Brotherhood.

It seems that because of the loss of the control of the demon king Baal, and the fact that they are spellcasters themselves, these people have gradually regained some autonomous control.

However, the evil forces of hell have a permanent effect on them, and their personalities have changed dramatically, they are cruel and cunning, fierce and furious, and love to kill and cause chaos.

These Fallen Warlocks are not like those monsters, they can only slowly spread around the kingdom of Kodwin.

As spellcasters, they quickly spread throughout the North, and even secretly formed an evil group of spellcasters, recruiting many social scum and wandering warlocks to fight against the entire Warlock Brotherhood, and the headquarters of this organization is somewhere in Kodwin, which has lost official control.

According to incomplete statistics, about 30% of the civilians in the Kingdom of Kodwin have become displaced people and fled to other neighboring countries.

And those peasants who went to the towns to beg for a living, because of the soaring prices and the oppression of the aristocracy, were on the verge of collapse.

In this medieval state, the aristocracy shifted the pressure to the commoners under their rule in order to maintain their luxurious life, and the confrontation between the two aristocratic groups consumed more and more resources, which invisibly exacerbated this phenomenon.

However, in the face of various difficult circumstances, the Kingdom of Kodwin had not waited for its own serious problems, and a sudden war had already befallen it.

Blue Mountains Mountains, Kyle Mohan.

Three years later, the centuries-old Witcher's Castle has been demolished, and thanks to the cooperation of skilled elven architects and physically strong giant craftsmen, the castle has become a castle town resembling a small military fortress.

Although it is still named Kellmoham by Wayne, it has a city wall, a tower, a horse farm, a garden, a blacksmith's workshop, and all kinds of facilities.

Combining the elegant and exquisite architectural style of the elves with the huge workload of the giants, even if this castle is placed in the entire northern kingdoms, it is definitely a great building that makes people jaw-dropping and look up.

At this time, in the palatial council hall of the castle, Wayne sat on the throne of the head, one hand supported his cheek, tilted his head, and looked at the subordinates sitting at the table with rather lazy eyes.

Wearing a light yellow dress, the beautiful girl Agles, was holding a pot of tea, temporarily acting as a personal secretary, looking at everyone present with a somewhat ignorant and youthful eyes.

"Boss, according to the latest information we have received, Demawi of the Kingdom of Aden has led an army of 10,000 people into the territory of the Kingdom of Kodwin."

"According to their marching route, it is estimated that tomorrow they will besiege Sherella, the city where the Earl of Cavin is located in the south."

"This king of Aden has a clear purpose, and it is estimated that he has secretly reached a deal with many people, and has been planning for a long time, and it seems that he is preparing to gnaw a piece of meat on the territory of the Kingdom of Kodwin."

At this time, it was Julia, a little beautiful cat in bright armor, who was a subordinate under Wayne who controlled the mercenary corps, and it was estimated that she was the most well-informed about the outside world except for Francesca, who was an ally.

Due to the dangerous environment of the Kingdom of Kodwin in recent years, the demand for mercenaries in this country has greatly increased, and now this young lady has recruited thousands of mercenaries one after another in addition to the cat's claw mercenary group she founded, as the escort of the caravan, and joined the Wayne Chamber of Commerce, which has become famous in the north.

As the longest-running Kingdom of Temeria and the Kingdom of Kodwin, she has mastered countless intelligence agents in these two countries, and she can learn about the big and small information in this country, which has provided Wayne with a lot of convenience.

"Boss, if Demavi succeeds in defeating Earl Karn, maybe the entire southern nobles of the Kingdom of Kodwin will turn to the Kingdom of Yadian."

"When the time comes, half of Kodwin will be annexed by Aden, and with King Demawi's strong character, he may affect your plans."

"Do we need to do something?"
