Under Wayne's operation, Vesemir met the Countess again that afternoon.

The scene where the two old lovers meet is quite touching, although there is no kissing or hugging as imagined, and there are no sweet words.

But simple conversations such as "You're here." "I've always wanted to find you." gave Wayne a feeling of time passing by and the world changing.

Although now, he has not experienced the scene where his lover or friend is separated from him forever because of Zhaohua's death, but as a strong man who is bound to survive for a long time, he will definitely experience it in the future. Many familiar people will be separated from him because of Zhaohua's death. Time passes and he leaves his condition forever.

In fantasy works, the theory of lifespan has always been a powerful knife. It is basically difficult for long-lived species and short-lived species to have a happy relationship. Perhaps they may fall in love because of temporary passion. It seems that both It is beautiful and romantic, but the cruelty of reality often brings only tragedy.

Compared with ordinary humans, demon hunters with a lifespan of more than three hundred years can be regarded as an immortal race.

After decades of not seeing each other, Count Minore has transformed from a young girl in her prime to a middle-aged lady, and her feelings for Vesemir will definitely not be the same as they were decades ago. Impulse and admiration are more about beautiful memories and fantasies of youth.

But no matter what the outcome is, presumably after this meeting, the old demon hunter Vesemir and Countess Minore will be able to have a satisfactory explanation of their past relationship, and it will not become a regret.

After arranging the meeting, before he could take a break, Xianna brought him the latest news, news about Aedirn.

King Demavi was defeated and Nilfgaard's Black Army was victorious.

However, although the capital was lost and the army of the Kingdom of Aden was severely defeated, the king was still very lucky to escape.

With his remaining defeated troops, he broke out of the siege at night and returned to the city he occupied in the Kingdom of Kaedwen.

Of course, such a result was not only expected by Wayne, but almost everyone who knew the gap in military strength between the two sides could have guessed this result.

Although as demon hunters, they don't need to be too concerned about the current situation. As long as there are various monsters in the world, no matter who is the emperor, they will always need demon hunters to help clean them up.

However, as the head of the Demon Hunter Order, he must pay attention to something like the Civil War that will affect the fate of countless people and the situation of the entire continent, whether proactively or passively.

After all, this matter will not only affect his future life, but also affect all aspects of the world.

But what’s interesting is that unlike the original work, Emhyr, who loves great achievements, thinks highly of himself, and always likes to make big moves, actually doesn’t have much research on military affairs.

This usurper emperor, who was born into a noble family, relied on lower-level officers to continuously accumulate military merits, and finally accumulated strength and gained the support of many people before overthrowing the Emres family that had ruled Nilfgaard for generations.

He may be inferior to Emhyr in politics, inferior to the politician with the nickname of Graveyard Disciple. He was defeated by Ciri's father in the original work, and was finally completely erased from the records of history.

But when it comes to leading troops and directing wars, his abilities are several levels higher than Emhyr's.

It can even be said that it was precisely because the usurper emperor replaced Emhyr's father and became the emperor of Nilfgaard that this country was able to annex surrounding kingdoms through wars and continuous victories, and became an extremely powerful country. of empire.

After launching the Civil War, the usurper emperor did not directly send a large army to make enemies of the entire north like Emhyr did. Instead, he limited his military power to the Kingdom of Aedirn and continued to weaken Demavi through a steady attack. force, trying to completely control the country.

He even sent his own envoys half a month ago to find a reasonable reason for his black-clothed army to sneak attack on the Kingdom of Aedirn, and barely found an excuse for the fairness of the war.

This is a very good method. If the usurper emperor, like Emhyr, targets the entire north from the beginning of the Civil War, it will inevitably arouse the common hatred of the entire northern countries and face multiple enemies at once.

But now, Nilfgaard only brought the flames of war to the Kingdom of Aedirn and found a reason for his war with Aedirn.

So whether it was out of luck or out of the various nastiness among the northern countries, it was difficult for them to make up their minds and immediately unite to fight against Nilfgaard.

Even the original plan to send reinforcements to support the Kingdom of Aden became hesitant because of Nilfgaard's countermeasures.

Without the support of other reinforcements, Demavi's army was ultimately unable to resist Nilfgaard's black army. After holding on in the capital of Aedirn for half a month, it finally lost most of it and was completely defeated.

The entire war lasted less than two months, and a kingdom that had existed among the Northern Kingdoms for thousands of years completely fell into the hands of Nilfgaard.

Although Demavi escaped by chance, with his current strength, it is basically impossible to organize an army to regain his kingdom.

According to the latest news from Xianna, after capturing the Kingdom of Aden, Nilfgaard temporarily stopped its pace and did not take any more military actions. Instead, it began to clean up the resistance forces in the Kingdom of Aden.

Whether it is the old nobles of the Kingdom of Aden, the defeated deserters, or the residents who resisted the rule of Nilfgaard, they have all become the targets of the black army's cleanup.

Under the control of tens of thousands of Nilfgaardian soldiers, whether they were cleaned up, recruited, or captured as slaves, the influence of King Demavi and his original royal family was rapidly weakening at an extremely fast speed. .

I believe that in a few years, the residents of the Kingdom of Aedir will completely forget about Demavi, and become a vassal of Nilfgaard.

This is definitely a very dangerous signal for other northern kingdoms. With the strength of other northern kingdoms, they are simply unable to fight against the kingdom of Nilfgaard independently. The huge military gap has made many far-sighted and wise northern kingdoms People were frightened by this, and immediately connected with each other privately, and began to discuss jointly fighting against Nilfgaard.

Originally, Wayne was just waiting and watching on this matter, wanting to see how the Warlock Brotherhood was going to deal with it next.

However, before the kings of the north and those high-ranking spellcasters could react, a trouble came to the Demon Hunter Order.

………………

In the hall of the Witcher Castle, Wayne sat on the magnificent main seat, supporting his chin with one hand and tapping lightly on the armrest with the other hand.

He frowned slightly, looked at Francesca who was sitting below with an equally gloomy expression, and asked in a questioning tone:

"You mean to say that Nilfgaard sent warlocks to find the Valley of Flowers and the elves, and they want to discuss cooperation with you, right?"

"They are willing to support the independence of Baihua Valley, establish an elven kingdom, and are willing to support you to become the queen of the elves."

"And the condition is that you will create unrest throughout the north by inciting inhuman races and weaken the north's ability to go abroad?"
