A head-on blow.

The empire needs to transfer troops from the south, and now the coastline of the Hinterland is dominated by Skellig’s pirates, Enhill will not risk the sinking of the troop carrier to mobilize ships from the south to transport soldiers to the front line of the Yaluja River. So, it takes enough time to mobilize soldiers from land. If the Imperial Legion can wreak havoc in the territory of Tamoria, before the follow-up troops arrive, he will severely damage his vanguard. You can block the flames of war outside of Redania and achieve a balance of power on the local battlefield.

He would not be stupid enough to wait for the imperial army to be assembled before starting a decisive battle with them.

He was pondering, calculating, thinking about the war that was about to break out. The chessboard in front of me seemed to be the northern battlefield. He doesn't have many pieces, but he must find a way to divide the enemy and force Nilfgaard to divide his troops.

He must win this war, and he will definitely win.

Suddenly, the noise outside the camp tent attracted his attention.

Radovide raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked out along the gap in the curtain.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

In terms of time, the soldiers of the Knights did not have the time to attack.

"Your Majesty." An attendant walked in. "It's the warlock, they are doing selection."

"Selection?" Radovide raised his eyebrows. "Select what?"

"It's a battle, your majesty, the warlock Kaduin said that we must choose some warlocks who can fight to protect the city. Now they are in the area between the circular arena and the civilian square for magic comparison and demonstration." A burst of electric light bursts. After cutting off the attendant's words, the attendant looked out subconsciously, but the place where the electric light appeared was far away from him. "Many people gathered around and wanted to watch. Many soldiers from Tamoria and Aden also went. There were also soldiers in our camp who wanted to see the spells of the sorcerers. Those spells are really incredible. Say a few spells. , A rock wall and a mouse fixed on the wall were turned into sand, and some people lifted up two adult-sized stones with magic and threw them hundreds of meters away."

"If anyone dares to continue to demand this, hang them outside the camp and warn others." Radovide said lightly.

"...Yes, your majesty."

The attendant bowed and stepped back. The noise in the Redania camp quickly subsided.

But the exclamations around the selection venue were louder than ever.

"The average time to recite the spell is 5 seconds 6. It barely passes, consumes magic power... Well, don't puff your face, don't secretly rub powder on your face, you are already so tired that your cheeks are flushed. The power of the spell...Excellent fire control spell, floating The technique is good, the protection spell... You can only block the stones thrown by the mob. The mentality fails. Yes, it fails! Don't think that you can pass by picking up a broom and pen with your mental power. You must be able to lift an adult easily Then throw it out. Teleportation...good. Take this report card and go to Kaduin, he will test you fireball, fire net, these branch spells of the fire control spell."

As Xi'er was talking, he wrote and painted on the paper, and then handed it to a female warlock with a broken face and a loss in her eyes.

"Past, next one."

"Xier."

A familiar voice came to his ears, Xi'er turned his head and saw Zelin walking towards him.

"Devil hunter." She handed the pen and paper to a female warlock behind her, and greeted Zelin. "Well, what information did you get?"

"Shuiqu." Zelin did not hesitate or conceal anything. "Do you know where the aqueduct in Lomugne is?"

"Drain? Yes, I know. When I was still in love with ancient history and archaeology, I once came to Lomugne to investigate the aqueduct left by the ancient races, trying to figure out what it was for and what it was. How to build it. It’s a long time ago, probably one hundred and thirty years ago? It seems that since me, no scholars have come to investigate. Because I think this is a facility for irrigating the fields, and they don’t feel much about agriculture. Interest."

"Yes, it's the canal." Ze Lin took a deep breath. "Ladovide's attacker is in the canal. Show me where the canal is. Come on, we have no time to delay."

Chapter 1934 Selection Competition

Altariel kept his promise and brought news to Zelin within an hour.

Although when he heard the news, Zelin preferred to know it an hour in advance.

"Yes, Shuiqu." Zelin nodded. He imagined all kinds of situations, but never thought of Lomugne's aqueduct. He is not Xi'er, and his knowledge of ancient cities can only be found in hearsay. If it weren’t for Altariel’s vowed statement, she had indeed heard from the Knights of the Flame Rose saying that it was necessary to sneak into the city along the place known as the aqueduct. Zelin would never have imagined that the city’s aqueduct could enable an army. Entered inside quietly. "Do you know where the canal is?"

"I know, come with me."

Xi'er pursed his mouth. Just about to leave, he was suddenly held down on his shoulders.

"Wait, wait." Zelin stopped Xi'er quickly. "We don't have time to make a decision after the on-site inspection. You said that you have surveyed the ruins. Can you describe what it looks like?"

"Yes, if there is enough time, I can draw it for you."

According to Xi'er's description, Zelin can roughly imagine the appearance of the canal. It is like building a river channel between the valleys with neat rocks. Supported by towering stone pillars, the water from the lakes in the mountains is introduced into the city. The remaining remains indicate that the water flow is led into two directions through the canal: the landscape river and the river in the city. Farmland waterwheel outside the city.

"A stone river hanging in the air?"

"Yes."

"Hmm... I have an idea. Xi'er, I would like to ask you to change the assessment location." Ze Lin narrowed his eyes. "Am the students you are evaluating, do you need to test apprentices or warlocks that can create explosions, decompose, etc.?"

Xi'er immediately understood what Zelin meant.

"No problem." She pondered for a few seconds, and a touch of worry came between her eyebrows. "They are not an army, let alone a soldier. It takes time to summon them to another place. Is it too late?"

"I let Siegfried lead the White Lily Knights to patrol the streets, hoping that this can delay them for a while."

"Maybe, I can just blow up the canal?"

"No, it's too easy to expose." Zelin shook his head. "The apprentices will not arouse suspicion, but if you go straight there, it is inevitable that Ladovide will find an excuse. I will go to Siegfried and ask his troops to patrol near the entrance to the canal, saying that it is to maintain law and order. The people of Dovide want to sneak attacks. If they see hordes of knights appearing on the street, they will definitely not run out rashly. Otherwise, they will dress up like robbers and Siegfried's men can arrest them immediately."

There are more and more crowds watching the magicians show their magic.

Perhaps many of them believe in eternal fire, but personally touching the curse is completely different from standing in a safe place to watch the adrenaline-rising explosion. The former is scary and the latter is curious. Soon, some knights in silver armor appeared on the street, driving away the crowds that gathered too much to prevent them from causing any conflict. The reason of the knights is very simple. Many of these people are entourages of nobles of various countries and soldiers in the camp. Once conflicts break out between them, it will cause a lot of trouble to the entire city.

"Are you the warlock chief here?"

Siegfried lifted his visor and looked at Xi'er. He coughed heavily. "I am the commander of the White Rose Knights, Siegfried of Denso. My soldiers report that you are using magic unscrupulously in the city."

He had a straight face, as if he had never known Xi'er.

But no one doubted, no one would have thought that he would have any intersection with the witch in front of him. After all, even during the summit, Siegfried did not enter Lomugne, but stationed at Fort Lida outside the city.

"This is part of the plan." Xi'er replied slowly, and her mind quickly connected Zelin's plan with Siegfried's appearance here. She had met Siegfried during the talks on the tower and knew that this was Zelin's friend. "According to the agreement we signed with the rulers, the Order of Warlocks will form a group of warlocks to protect Lomugne. Today, we are selecting personnel. From any point of view, we have not violated any of the agreements."

"But the agreement doesn't stipulate where you can recruit, right?" Siegfried's eyes looked around calmly. "Marshal Natalis thinks that you shouldn’t show magic in places where people gather in the city. So he ordered me to tell you, hoping that you can move the place outside the city, it’s very quiet, no one will disturb you, and you The sound and electric lights of the world won’t bother us."

"I think we are going to choose warlocks, not let these ladies blow cold wind in a valley full of beasts and monsters outside the city." Xi'er pursed his mouth, as if thinking about something, but she had an answer in her heart. "Please tell Your Excellency Natalis, we will go to a place that is quieter and far away from the crowd for selection. But not outside the city, but close to the city wall. There are only ruins, which is convenient for our students to cast magic. At the same time, it will not affect the adults in the camp."

Siegfried was silent for a few seconds.

"No problem." Finally, he nodded. "Leave your students immediately, and I will send fifteen knights to set aside a selection venue for you. Sir McPhee!"

A knight wrapped in heavy armor walked over.

"Head."
