From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

For the limited help given by the Eternal Flame, Lane had expected that during the Civil War in the original book, Novigrad was even out of the control of the monarch, and he was vacillating between Redania and Nilfgaard. Dovid V had to coax and use "diplomatic means" to treat this "own city".

"Being able to provide information is enough. For us who have just arrived in a strange place, this can relieve the urgent need-I need to know the location of Ogierd Everik."

Chapelle nodded. After receiving the letter from Vizmir II, he sent people out to investigate: "Ogierd and his wild boar army are stationed in the northeast corner of Novigrad, about half a day's ride from here. I don't know how you're going to deal with them, but you can't hurt the nearby civilians, or you will become my enemy, understand?"

Chapelle was half a head shorter than Lann, but the momentum when he said this was enough to be on the same level as Lann, so that people could not ignore it.

"Of course." Lan said, "If you have heard my rumors, you should know my way of doing things. The request you made is exactly my way of doing things."

Chapelle sneered: "The rumor is the most unbelievable."

…………

Novigrad is very large, and there are countless traders and artists wandering here, living wantonly.

But these are not what Lane and his party need for the time being, maybe they will try to take a stroll here after the official business is over.

They left the city through the gate of the Temple Island, and ran all the way northeast. The horses raised a lot of smoke and dust, causing passers-by to look sideways.

A manor soon appeared in front of them, and Lane knew that it was their target, because there was a flag in front of them, with a wild boar flag fluttering in the wind.

Don't look at the word "pig" on the "wild boar". In nature, it is a symbol of bravery. Lone cats such as cheetahs and tigers dare not easily provoke wild boars. There are even times when kings went hunting in history. Killed by wild boars.

For a nomadic people who have established a noble inheritance with military exploits, the use of wild boars as their coat of arms just shows that they have not forgotten their sword skills as the foundation of their lives.

Under this wild boar banner, many warriors who appeared to be well-built were wrestling.

There were men and women among them, and most of them wore a strange hairstyle. They shaved off all the hair on the left and right backs of their heads, leaving only the amount of palm on the top of the head, and the hair on this palm was extremely long enough to hang down from one side of the head and stick to the cheeks.

Like the mane of a wild boar.

They are the "wild boar army" of the Ifric family, a private army of nobles who acted as robbers.

The movement of Lan En and his party galloping the horses was not small, and the ground trembled caused by the sound of the horses' hoofs, causing the people sitting on the ground to jump up immediately.

Their reactions were not slow, and they quickly changed from playing to fighting, ready to fight.

Lan En and the others pulled the reins when they were about a hundred steps away from the opponent, and the speed of the team suddenly slowed down very neatly as if someone had pressed the speed reduction button. It stopped completely at about thirty paces away.

The smoke and dust raised by the horses pawing the ground and slowing down splashed everywhere, and slowly landed about five steps away from the wild boar army, almost contaminating their unsheathed swords.

After the two sides looked at each other in silence for a while, House galloped forward. Looking at the wild boar army with uneven equipment, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

This private army really has a "nomadic" style, and there is basically no standard equipment. The men wear leather armor and robes, and the women even only wear long gowns with open breasts. It's like a group of mercenaries gathered together military.

Although the ferocity in their eyes cannot be faked, they are all outlaws, but when they encounter regular cavalry composed of people like themselves, a wave of arrows and a charge can completely maim them.

"Before you are the Lion of Cintra, the Griffin Rider of the Fairy of the Lake, the Lord of Brokiron, Lord Lannister Rianlen, and we are looking for House Everec The patriarch Ogierd Everik, please come out and meet!"

Seeing Lan En sitting firmly behind, only sending a condescending attendant to shout out, there was a whisper among the wild boar army.

Then a cynical young man in a slanted-breasted robe stepped out from the crowd, shook his head and shouted:

"I am Ogierd, what do you want me to do?"

Before he finished speaking, a big bearded man suddenly walked out of the crowd, speaking in an uncomfortable accent:

"I'm Ogierd, damn kid, get out of here!"

House frowned.

That's not all. At this time, a woman with the same "wild boar head" came out from the crowd, her shirt was unbuttoned, and her exposed skin was densely covered with tattoos.

"If you want me to say, I am Ogierd~"

All the Wild Boar Army laughed in unison.

This is obviously teasing Lan and his group.

"Bold!" Howes roared, and was about to draw his sword, and the cavalrymen of Cintra also drew their weapons one after another.

As soon as Lann gave an order, the scattered troops in front of him were dispersed.

Just at the critical moment, a calm and undeniable voice sounded from the manor behind the Wild Boar Army:

"Everyone stop!"

There seemed to be some magical power in that voice, and the Wild Boar Army's movements froze immediately.

They didn't want to resist the voice's order at all. Even though the Sintra cavalry on the opposite side were already facing them with swords and swords, they still put away their attacking posture and retreated slowly.

Seeing this, Lan also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, signaling the Sintra cavalry behind him to be calm.

For Master Mirror's contract, he still needs the master of the wild boar army to say three wishes alive.

A man came out of the manor. He was broad-shouldered, tall, with reddish-brown hair and beards. He was wearing a ranger-style robe and had a long machete on his waist.

This person looks very good, and he can be called handsome and unrestrained. There are several shallow scars on his face, not ferocious, but adding a bit of roughness.

Standing with Lann, who has the appearance of a "noble master", may make people wonder who is the real witcher for a while.

Lan En looked at that face, and was really in a daze for a while, because this person looked very much like a football star called "the sexiest man in the world" in Lan En's previous life.

The man stopped about five steps away from Lann, looked at the tall black wind, and sincerely praised: "What a horse."

They are all confronting each other with their swords drawn, and they will fight in the next second. Your eyes are still focused on Heifeng?

"A count should not accept this kind of treatment. I apologize to you on behalf of my subordinates, Lannister."

The man stretched out his hand towards Lann: "I am Ogierd Everec. Although we may draw our swords and I will definitely kill you, I still want to say that I am very happy to meet you-after all Those poems of yours are wonderful, and did bring me some joy."

He invited Lann to shake hands amidst the swords and swords. He was closer to Sintra's army than to his own wild boar army. He could be pierced by at least eight swords in just one breath, and then his body would be crushed. The horses were repeatedly crushed.

But he paid no heed to the danger. It seems that this kind of etiquette is more important than his own life.

Lan En knew the other party's "reckless" reliance, after all, the other party was someone who had done business with Master Mirror. The person in front of him dislikes the mirror master, but at the same time enjoys the gift of the mirror master everywhere.

Lan looked at each other for a while, and stretched out his hand immediately: "I'm Lan Lannister Ray Allen, it's too early for me to say you're happy—but I'm really glad to finally see you .”

Ogild laughed loudly: "You are much more interesting than what others say, I haven't seen someone like you for a long time!"

After laughing, he turned around and blamed the few people who had just claimed the name of "Ogierd": "You were too rude just now, how could you treat an earl like this?"

Someone in the wild boar army shouted dissatisfiedly: "Chief! He brought so many soldiers, he must have come to encircle us, we should strike first!"

Ogierd didn't care, neither did he care about the slightly offensive shouting at him by the Wild Boar Army in public, nor did he care about Lan's threat to him at the moment.

He turned to Lan En and said, "It doesn't matter whether we are facing each other with swords or chatting with each other, it is too inappropriate for us to talk about things here. Why don't you come to the manor to see my collection?"

Lan En glanced at the ferocious wild boar army in front of him, then at the well-decorated manor behind them even though it was a certain age, and asked, "Is this manor not yours?"

Ogierd Howe nodded unabashedly: "His master committed suicide because he didn't pay his debts, and the servants wanted to take the money and run away, so I killed those servants, and I killed the people who came to collect debts. So now the manor It’s mine now. My wild boar army is all outside, and there will only be you and me in the manor, dare to come in, Earl Lannister?”

House stepped forward and seemed to want to persuade, Lan waved his hand: "Stay vigilant and wait for me to come out."

The wild boar army put away their swords, made way for the two of them, and then continued to drink and have fun, as if they were drunk today.

They were always at ease with Lann, who entered the manor alone with Ogierd, and seemed to be very at ease with the Sintra cavalry who were close at hand, and didn't care at all that the other party might organize a charge towards them and others at any time.

Levin frowned, and stepped forward to stand side by side with House: "This group of people is weird, aren't they a little too confident?"

House gripped his sword tightly, looked at the two wrestlers who seemed to be draining their last breath, and nodded in agreement: "They seem to be taking their lives too seriously."

…………

In the manor, there are broken glass shards and ceramic shards everywhere at the moment, or wooden chairs and sofas with one or two legs broken. Lan can still see the yellow paper with toads on it nailed to the wall, Daggers or throwing knives were scattered scattered around the paper.

It can be vaguely seen that the original furnishings here are more elegant, but the wild boar army is obviously not a group of people who are good at maintaining the furnishings.
