Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

Chapter 318 The Prelude to the Civil War

Time passed quickly in Arethusa Academy, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, except for occasionally carrying Triss on his back and having sex with the very gorgeous Principal Margarita a few times, Wayne spent most of his time learning magic and secretly copying magic books in the library. superior.

With his close relationship with Margarita, almost all the books in the library are open to Wayne. Except for those banned books that are expressly prohibited, he can read the books he wants at will without anyone supervising him. .

The agreement with the witch Lani is half completed.

Of course, Mr. Wayne is not the kind of person who likes prostitution for free. After taking such a big advantage, it is only appropriate to pay something.

After in-depth exchanges with the current principal, Ms. Margarita, and with the support of the principal, the Wayne Chamber of Commerce will replace the suppliers that provided supplies to the college in the past and establish a chamber of commerce stronghold in Qiaotou Town near Aretusa College. .

Not only will it provide certain escort services for the female students in the college, but it will also supply more products from all over the world to the college.

In order to show his sincerity, the Chamber of Commerce offers preferential prices to the college. Not only is the quality guaranteed, but the variety of products is definitely more comprehensive than in the past.

Of course, this is a win-win policy. Not only does the Chamber of Commerce contribute, but the college also provides a lot of support to the Wayne Chamber of Commerce.

The most important point is that female students in the academy will be employed by the Chamber of Commerce and use the knowledge they learned in school to provide magical services to the Wayne Chamber of Commerce.

Although these students have limited abilities, not everyone can become an elite sorceress like Triss or Yennefer.

But as magic apprentices with the ability to cast spells, they can still do things that ordinary people cannot.

For example, they can use magic divination, magic communication, psychic rituals, magic rituals, and even teleportation to a limited extent.

In such a barbaric and backward Middle Ages, even a magic apprentice could play a very important role in a special place and was worthy of being attracted by the Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, after graduating from these sorceress apprentices, not every sorceress will be able to become a royal advisor, and most of them will still have to engage in other unavailable jobs.

If we can build a good relationship with them during their apprenticeship, these people will be more easily available to the Wayne Chamber of Commerce after they graduate.

This is a sure-fire deal.

During this month, Wayne lived quite a leisurely life, barely listening to what was going on outside the window, and only focusing on reading books by sages.

However, the attention of the entire northern countries was attracted by an unexpected war.

A month ago, Earl Karn's defeat caused half of the Kingdom of Kaedwen to fall into the hands of King Demavi of Aedirn. This was something that the other northern kings could have expected.

However, only half a month had passed. Just as Demavi was triumphantly searching for loot in the southern part of the Kingdom of Kaedwen and dealing with the chaos after the war, a powerful army in black suddenly crossed the Pontar River and defeated them with overwhelming force. He defeated the defenders of several cities in the Kingdom of Aden, defeated several great nobles, and occupied those cities.

The speed was so fast that almost everyone couldn't react.

By the time Demavi received the news, almost one-third of Aedirn's territory had fallen into the hands of this army, and the whole of Aedirn was in chaos.

What shocked Demavi and other northern kings even more was that the number of this army far exceeded their imagination.

Just like this time when the Aedirn army went to Kaedwen, the battle between the two great powers was already considered the largest war in the north in recent years.

However, the number of armies on both sides is only over 10,000, and almost half of the soldiers are farmers who have been raised temporarily. There are only a few thousand real elite soldiers.

The amount of grain and grass consumed during the war was unimaginable to ordinary farmers. An army of this size was the norm in the Middle Ages. After all, in this world, after paying taxes, most farmers would find it difficult to feed themselves, let alone feed a large number of people. of soldiers.

In addition to those noble lords who can afford to raise a group of retired soldiers and knights, probably only some wealthy businessmen can raise some guards as a guarantee.

Even those kings found it difficult to raise an army of more than a thousand people in a short period of time. They had to mobilize for as long as half a month or even a month before they could do this.

However, this group of troops coming across the river from the south not only had sophisticated weapons and equipment, but the number of soldiers exceeded most people's imagination.

Judging from the news reported by the scouts alone, there are more than 40,000 soldiers in this army, which far exceeds the total number of soldiers in the Kingdom of Aden at this time, and the excess is more than double. It is almost a crushing number. .

Even if King Demavi does not need to reorganize his soldiers and can immediately set off from Kaedwen and return to the Kingdom of Aedirn, with the difference in strength between them, it is simply impossible to defeat this southern army and regain his territory.

For a moment, King Demavi's excitement disappeared, and he even became confused.

He didn't even think about why the army that suddenly appeared this time attacked Aedirn, and because of the suddenness of the incident, he still hasn't figured out which country the opponent's army comes from and what force it belongs to. He just heard that It is said to be from the south, but I am not sure which kingdom in the south it is.

Due to territorial disputes in the northern countries, although there are constant wars and various disputes often arise, most of them are small fights and never come to the forefront.

Moreover, most of these kings are short-sighted and always focus on their own one-third of an acre of land. At most, they pay attention to other surrounding countries. They know very little about the intelligence of the southern kingdom and basically do not pay attention to it.

So this time, King Demavi was not the only one who was confused. Except for a few kings who had trade relations with the southern kingdom, most of the rulers in the north were confused and couldn't figure out this army at all. He could only immediately dispatch a large number of scouts and use all his connections to investigate the origin of this army.

However, Mr. Wayne, who is far away on Thanede Island, is not among these people.

As early as a few years ago, like the elf sorceress Francesca, he began to lay out in the Southern Kingdom, laid many trade routes, and planted many intelligence personnel. Although he could not say that his hands and eyes could reach the sky, what happened in the Southern Kingdom They can still investigate some major matters clearly.

Originally, according to the two men's estimates, it would take several years for the Civil War to break out, so they did not focus on it.

However, what Wayne didn't expect was that for some unknown reason, the usurper, who was clearly not fully prepared, suddenly started mobilizing the army a month ago and started the Civil War.

Moreover, the southern emperor who succeeded in seizing the throne after his military officers rebelled was indeed quite shrewd.

Successfully taking advantage of the expedition of King Demavi of Aedirn, taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's army was out and the country was empty, he achieved considerable results with almost no effort.

This was a good start for the Civil War.
