Queen Miwei looked at the people coming and going in the capital of Leiria and always felt as if she had entered the stage of a drama rather than on a battlefield.

The three-headed troll rumbled around, looking around curiously, shouting something like "little people, sharp sticks", etc. After crashing into several walls, it stopped embarrassedly under the shouting of the Lyrian soldiers.

Different from the vigilance aroused by these three trolls, more soldiers were absent-mindedly staring at a tent that had been cleaned up separately, and every team passing by in formation would turn their heads towards that place as if at a military parade.

The shadows peeking through it showed that there was only one woman in the tent, but she had horns and a tail.

And in the corner of the city wall, there is a corner that almost no one approaches. There, a red dragon as big as a bunker is lurking and sleeping soundly.

Queen Miwei swallowed and looked at Lann who had just returned not far away. More spots of light were appearing around him, and warlocks, druids, and demon hunters kept coming out of them.

After Lann stopped casting the spell for a while, Mi Wei hesitated for a moment and came forward: "Lann, how are your injuries? Have you resolved your issues in Cintra?"

The reason why the coalition forces were able to survive during this period was all due to Lann's various flashes to cut into the enemy camp.

He almost killed all the commanders of Nilfgaard's divisions and brigades, making it impossible for the heavy cavalry of the Central Army Group to organize a decent charge.

But just a few days ago, when Lane was planning to do something big and rush in to assassinate the enemy's marshal Menno Cuhoon, he failed for the first time and even suffered serious injuries.

According to Lann, Marshal Menno had ambushed him long ago. When he used a magical teleportation spell to break into the enemy camp, he was attacked by more than 40 warlocks led by three senior warlocks.

What's even more frightening is that the Nilfgaardians also organized a death squad to seal Lann's seal with magic-blocking gold weapons, making Lann lose the ability to cause large-scale casualties.

The teleportation ability brought by [Ancient Blood] is essentially driven by chaotic energy, which means that Lann has also lost the ability to return.

Even so, the warlocks still felt that it was not safe enough, and sent out more than ten golems to attack and try to capture Lann.

Fortunately, Lann's swordsmanship is amazing, and he also has skills such as adrenaline blessing, [Unmovable as a Mountain] rolling immunity to attacks, and the New Year's Sword Technique [Rage Burst] that can ignore defense. These are purely demon hunter body-driven and system-enhanced skills, which cannot be blocked by the magic blocking gold.

Then the Nilfgaardians saw that the Lion of Cintra used the Sword of the Lady of the Lake and a nomadic scimitar to chop up more than half of the golems, dodged almost all magic attacks by rolling, and even knocked down several members of the warlock unit by exchanging injuries.

A senior warlock lost his temper and used deadly magic on Lann, which made Marshal Menno, who wanted to capture the lion alive, furious.

But Lann, who had just taken a fatal attack, jumped up again with full energy, and then chopped down the warlock who had just "killed" him with a knife.

[Undead]: When your health drops to 0, if you still have adrenaline points, you can use adrenaline to restore your health. The amount of health restored depends on the number of adrenaline points used.

This skill that Lann had chosen in the early stage for the principle of saving his life was finally triggered that day after it was almost forgotten.

After Lann made a big fuss, the two giant dragons hovering in the sky finally realized something was wrong after they had not been summoned by the [Teleport] skill for a long time, and they descended from the sky.

Kerturis set fires everywhere to attract attention, and Sakia went straight to Lan to rescue him.

The two dragons were hit by many spells and crossbows and were almost shot down from the sky. Now a group of druids were surrounding them to cast spells and heal them, hoping that they could be used in the next battle as soon as possible.

Lann, who came back covered in blood, scared Queen Miwei.

Later, when Lann wanted to continue attacking the Nilfgaard camp and summoned trolls and night demons, he unexpectedly received news that Cintra was in trouble.

This almost left Queen Mi Wei at a loss.

She has fully understood the situation at this point in the war. How can she fight this war without Lan?

Fortunately, Lann returned soon and brought more power.

…

Lann glanced at Queen Miwei and smiled gently.

The injury was nothing. He activated the [Active Shield] and was able to be full of energy again after being attacked once.

As for the rest…

"You know, Miwei, I think we are about to win." Lan said.

Mi Wei had a question mark on her head. She thought that perhaps the lion's injury was more serious than she thought. If the brain was injured, it would be a real big problem.

Looking at the queen's hesitant expression, Lan chuckled.

"Menno leading the Central Army Group to the north has disrupted many of our plans. According to their pace, I originally thought that I should retreat to Vengerberg in Aedirn to use the city walls to hinder their cavalry and give my reinforcements in Cintra time to come to support me."

"But there are a lot of great things happening lately, Miwei."

"The current of the Yaruga River suddenly changed, and the speed of Skellige's warships and transport ships suddenly increased, allowing them to come to support us at a speed far beyond our expectations."

"Temeria suddenly sent us a message, saying that they were willing to send a troop from Lower Soden to join us. Together with the soldiers from Cintra and the Free Corps mercenaries, they would wipe out the Nilfgaardian infantry remaining in Upper Soden, and then go north to outflank the Nilfgaardians."

Mi Wei questioned: "But in that case, our strength on the front battlefield is still not enough to resist their heavy cavalry. Even if these new helpers of yours, Lan En, can assassinate their marshal and all the warlocks with you."

If the battle was in progress, tens of thousands of heavy cavalry would not need the commander's orders to charge; but if the command post of the Central Army Group was assassinated in peacetime, then these tens of thousands of unorganized and undisciplined elite troops scattered throughout Livia would cause a terrifying commotion that might take years to calm down.

If it really came to this, the coalition might be able to win a battle, but they would definitely fail in the overall strategic direction. Even if Upper Soden was recovered, it would not be worth the loss of Livia, and the control of the Yaruga River would also slip away from their hands.

Therefore, we still need to launch a large-scale battle to defeat the enemy head-on, so that Menno will take the initiative to gather the remaining troops and withdraw from the North with the intention of preserving his strength. Then, according to Lann's plan, we will set up an ambush on the edge of the North to completely destroy this army.

"This requires a lot of manpower on the front battlefield, but this is exactly our problem." Even a proud Mi Wei lowered her head involuntarily. "Demavi is no longer focused on the front line, and the coalition forces of Lyria and Rivia cannot possibly stop these heavy cavalry head-on, not even the first wave."

Lann shook his head: "I haven't finished yet. In addition to the changes in the river, there have been many changes in magic that you may not be able to perceive."

Mi Wei did not set up a position for a royal advisor sorcerer, so this answer really stunned her.

"According to my warlocks and druids, there have been changes in the celestial phenomena recently, coupled with the sudden increase in the number of celestial conjunctions... In short, it has become much easier to cast teleportation magic these past two days."

Lann said seriously, "We can set up a fixed portal in Lower Soden, and also set up one here, and let the warlocks take turns to keep it open day and night. The portal will be very small, and only one person can pass through at a time. In addition to the rest required, it will take about ten hours - but this method can be used to teleport the dwarven heavy infantry I asked for from Mahakam!"

Queen Mi Wei widened her eyes and her body began to tremble.

This is a combat strategy that has never been seen on the mainland!

If someone else told Mi Wei about this plan, she would just think that the other person was talking nonsense; but when it came from Lan's mouth, she would involuntarily believe it.

"This requires a large open space. Setting up such a long-term fixed-point teleportation portal also consumes a lot of magical materials, so I also need your cooperation, Mi Wei..."

"This is the capital of Lyria," Queen Miwei said firmly, "The royal treasury can be opened to your sorcerers immediately. Compared with the survival of the country, these materials are not worth mentioning even if you directly emptied them."

"So far in the battle, you can say that you have been holding the line on your own. I have no reason not to trust you, Lan."

"No matter what you want to do, I will cooperate with you from now on!"

Lan nodded. With the decisive battle imminent, the unlimited support of the allies was more important than anything else.

…

"You've decided to rely on those dwarves, Lannister?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Lann turned around to look at Demawi who was walking towards him.

Mi Wei did not give him a good look. It was Demawi's retreat at the last minute that accelerated the defeat of the coalition forces.

She sneered, "Your Majesty is finally back?"

But the queen didn't go too far, she knew that Demave had his reasons. It was just that it was her country, Rivia, that had fallen, and most of the casualties were her soldiers, so she couldn't control her emotions for a while.

"Vizmir has taken action. He has warned Henselt. Now I can call back the cavalry from the northern front and combine them with the infantry... and add another 10,000 people to the battlefield." Demavi did not confront Mivi, but directly explained the situation on his side to Lann.

"His Majesty Vizimir took action?" Lan raised his eyebrows. This was another good news.

Demave was not very grateful for the unexpected help, and just snorted coldly: "He just wants me to be able to continue to be their knife without distraction, just like you..."

As one of the four major kingdoms in the north, Aedirn has suffered the heaviest blow, while the other three kingdoms have just stood by and watched or even manipulators. This makes Demave feel very unhappy.

"These ten thousand or so are the only people that Aedirn can spare in a short period of time." Demave snorted coldly, "But I have a condition."

Lan raised an eyebrow.

"I will go all out in this war, but after we drive out Nilfgaard and end the wartime state, the agreement between the six countries in the Pontar Valley will be invalidated." Demave said in a deep voice, "Henselt will definitely find another opportunity to reach out to Aedirn, and even Vizimir may use this help as an excuse to ask for benefits from me."

"I thought about preserving my strength until after the war, but I also knew that if I didn't win this war, Aedirn would have no future."

Demave looked at Lann and said openly, "So I need our alliance to continue even after the war. I need you to be my supporter at that time and oppose those despicable people who want to take advantage of Aedirn."

The King of Aedirn looked very tired. It was not easy to be attacked from both the enemy and his own people, but he still stood straight at this moment.

Lann looked at Demawi's hand that was stretched out to him and smiled: "This is exactly what I wanted."

Demawi's tense face finally relaxed. He turned to look at the druids and warlocks who were already busy, thought for a moment and asked:

"Lannister, do you really think those dwarves can stop the Nilfgaardian heavy cavalry?"

"Of course, I believe them." Lann said firmly, "But if you still feel uneasy about Demawi, I don't mind adding another layer of insurance to your confidence."

As he spoke, Lann waved his hand and activated the [Teleport] skill again.

A spot of light not much smaller than the dragon appeared beside him, attracting everyone's attention.

When the light faded, a giant wearing iron armor and fully armed appeared in front of everyone.

There was a winter snowstorm, and in terms of visual feeling, it was countless times more shocking than the dragon.

It can also play a role on the battlefield.

Demawi and Miwei could no longer maintain their expressions and stood in astonishment.

…

"When?" Menno Cuhoon looked up from the map and looked at his commanders. "You want to know when I'm going to give the order to attack?"

No one answered. Menno looked at his officers.

Everyone knew what was going on because these officers had not been qualified to enter the tent a few days ago.

During this period, the chief officers of various battalions and brigades were almost all killed by Lann, and all the commanders had been replaced. It would take a lot of time for these new officers to fully control the army.

Moreover, they have to spend a lot of effort to strengthen security measures during this time, and find ways to prevent themselves from repeating the mistakes of their predecessors; and if they cannot protect themselves, they must ensure that after they are assassinated, their successors can take control of the troops as quickly as possible.

"I only gave you two days. We should have been resting in the capital of Leiria by now!" Menno shouted angrily, "And now there is news that the Aedirnians have sent troops south again. It's all because of your incompetence that you have delayed the opportunity to fight!"

All the officers lowered their heads, but their eyes were all secretly looking towards the senior warlocks who were listening.

They don't have such tight protection. Marshal Menno is the only one who has survived the lion's sniper attack so far.

"Fortunately, they are just Aedirnians." Marshal Menno looked at his silent men and breathed a sigh of relief. "They will cause us more trouble, but they can't stop us."
