Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 188 - The City Wall

Chapter 188: The City Wall

Heath looked at the scenery in front of him.

How should he put it…

It was as if he had stepped into another world.

There was also a very tall ancient Tree of Life here. The city wall was built around the roots of the ancient tree. The circumference was hard to calculate, but the height was about seven or eight hundred meters. At this moment, Heath and the others were on a half-moon platform in front of one of the city walls.

In front of them was an endless wilderness. What they saw was a grayish-black land. There was not a single blade of grass on the ground, and there was not a single speck of green in sight.

High in the sky, there were three blood-red moons hanging, and the blood-like red light sprinkled on the ground.

“Woo woo!”

“Put the arrows into the warehouse as soon as they are delivered. Someone check if there are any enchantments…”

“Every soldier must be given magic potions…”

“Every Dwarf, behave yourself. Don’t let me hear any drunkards…”

“Hurry up, the Wraiths may appear at any time!”

The long sound of the horn and the sound of military orders were heard one after another. A human general in dark golden armor was making military arrangements for the soldiers on the city wall.

Under the command of the Elf general, groups of soldiers entered the combat area. Other than the humans and Elves, there were also Centaurs with big noses that were only half the height of a human, half the height of a Dwarf, half the size of a horse, and so on, they were races that had only been seen in books before.

“Is this… is this the Bloody Battlefield?”

“The atmosphere is so heavy…”

“Are we going to fight in such a place…”

“Is… is that a Dwarf?”

“And a Centaur…”

Whispers rose and fell.

Whether they were extraordinary or ordinary human Knights, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them. This was something that they had never come into contact with since they came from the Underdark Treesea.

The Underdark Treesea and even the entire West Coast were close to the coastline. There were more people who came into contact with the Seafolk, and it was rare for other races to see them.

Wizard Bonat, who was in charge of leading Heath and the others, suddenly pointed at the general who was lecturing them and introduced, “That Sir is Advanced Wizard Robert. He is the temporary commander of the Bloody Battlefield. He will be in charge of you here.”

“Advanced Wizard!”

“Why is he dressed like a Knight?”

Hearing Wizard Bonat’s introduction, the crowd burst into an uproar again. Advanced Wizards were one of the few powerful figures in the Dark Forest. Even in the entire Wizard World… They were also extremely powerful figures.

Such figures in the Wizard World were usually the masters of a large force, or even the rulers of a region. They were definitely the pillars of the Wizard World.

Heath could not help but look at him twice. This was the first time he had met a high-level Wizard in the true sense.

Especially…

This Wizard gave him a sense of déjà vu…

Heath’s gaze swept over the other party’s armor and the cross sword at his waist. ‘Is he also a Knight?’

‘No…’

‘I’m afraid he’s not just a Knight…’

At this moment, the general finished his work and walked over.

Wizard Bonat quickly went up and greeted, “Sir Robert.”

Bonat was a powerful Wizard who had already entered the late stages of the Wizard realm. He was also affiliated with a powerful organization like the Tower of Order. He was definitely an existence that would be worshipped wherever he went.

However, this Wizard Robert just waved his hand casually.

Then, Robert’s gaze fell on the crowd in front of him.

He asked, “Are these the warriors sent by the Underdark Treesea?”

Bonnet said, “Yes, sir.”

Robert looked around. His eyebrows were originally a little furrowed, but at this moment, they were clearly relaxed, giving people a sense of relief.

He nodded and said, “Finally, a batch of decent quality… Hmm?”

At this moment, his gaze fell on Heath.

As if he had suddenly discovered something, he looked up and down at Heath and suddenly asked, “Grand Knight?”

Heath was slightly startled.

This was the first time someone had seen his strength at a glance.

Seeing that Heath had caught Robert’s attention… Wizard Bonat quickly introduced, “Sir Robert, this is Wizard Heath. He is a genius recently nurtured by Shadow Tower. He has only been in the Wizard World for ten years.”

After hearing Bonat’s introduction, Robert’s eyes lit up.

He nodded repeatedly and said, “To be able to advance to a Wizard in just ten years and at the same time possess the strength of a Grand Knight, he is worthy of the name of a genius!”

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Robert’s status was extraordinary. Seeing Heath being praised by others, whether it was Apprentices, Wizards, or even pure-blooded people, they all cast envious gazes.

Heath said humbly, “Thank you.”

Robert nodded with satisfaction. “I look forward to your performance in the Bloody Battlefield.”

Heath said, “Yes!”

Robert laughed out loud. “At least I got someone decent…”

Woo woo woo woo! At this moment, a horn sounded.

The sound of the horn was heavy and awkward.

Hearing this sound, the smile on Robert’s face froze.

Flap! Flap! At the same time, the sound of wings flapping could be heard.

An Elf wearing a green hat on his head was flying over quickly. This Elf was different from the other Elves at the door. He actually had a pair of wings on his back.

Heath looked at the elf curiously. ‘This is… a Sky Elf?’

Elves were divided into many types. Some could learn magic, some could transform into animals, and some could fly.

Those who could fly were also called Sky Elves.

The Sky Elf drew a smooth arc in the air and finally landed in front of Robert.

She bowed and said, “Commander, the Wraith Seed is here. It’s less than ten miles from the city.”

Robert asked in a deep voice, “How many are there? Are there any high-level Seeds?”

The Elf said, “The number is unknown, but there are no high-level Seeds detected so far.”

Robert narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that something was wrong, Bonat quickly went forward and said, “Sir Robert, since you have something to do here, I’ll take them down to settle down first…”

Before he could finish, Robert suddenly interrupted, “No!”

After a pause, he suddenly said, “Ask the warehouse to give each of them a set of battle equipment. They will fight together in a while!”

Bonat was shocked. “What!?”

He quickly said, “Sir, these are warriors who have just arrived. They have not gone through training yet…”

Robert said, “The battlefield is the best training ground. Letting them personally participate in a war is better than training thousands of times in the fortress!”

Bonat frowned. “This…”

Robert said without hesitation, “Alright, I’m in charge here. Go down and make the arrangements!”

Seeing that, Bonat did not say anything else.

“Yes…”

Then, he turned around and said to everyone, “You guys, follow me!”

Everyone followed Robert to the back. There was a spiral staircase at the back. After coming down from this staircase, the interior of the huge military fortress was also presented in front of Heath’s eyes.

There were many obelisks, tall scaffolding, mill, blacksmith shop, thick city walls, and so on.

“Everyone receive a set of equipment. Move quickly!”

They came to the warehouse, and under Bonat’s command, everyone received a set of equipment.

The human warrior received a full-body armor, a cross sword, a short crossbow, and a dagger, all of which were enchanted.

The Apprentices received a Wizard cloak and a long-handled staff, which were surging with tremendous elemental fluctuations. Obviously, they were all official-grade Wizard tools.

“Official-grade Wizard tools! Oh my god!”

“Is… is this for me?”

Heath and the other Wizards were still fine, but the Apprentices were all shocked. Official Wizard tools were something they didn’t dare to imagine.

Heath was also a little surprised. The Tower of Order was so generous!

One must know that an official Wizard tool cost at least hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones. To be able to take out so many at once, it was indeed worthy of being the highest ruler of the West Coast.

“Put on your equipment and go up immediately. Listen to the arrangements!”

After taking the equipment, Heath followed the crowd back to the battlements, and Robert led a few officers to organize and deploy Heath and the others.

Although it was said to be a battlefield experience for them, it was obvious that Robert did not dare to randomly send soldiers who had not been trained. He arranged them to a position at the back, far away from the main formation. This way, even if there was a stampede or something like that, they would not be able to affect the combat units in front.

Heath was also arranged to the left side of the rear. However, he wanted to learn more about the Bloody Battlefield, so he took the initiative to switch to a position at the front. Although it was still not the main formation, it was still relatively close to the battlefield.

The view here was wide enough to see the front of the city wall.

Therefore, Heath stood on the city wall like the other soldiers around him, quietly looking forward.

Time passed by slowly.

The city wall suddenly became quiet.

Heath felt that the combat units at the front were obviously a little nervous, and a murderous aura filled the entire battlements.

A few minutes later…

“Something… Something is coming…”

“What is that?”

“Fog, what a big fog…”

A commotion suddenly broke out among the crowd beside Heath.

Following that, they saw some unusual things appearing in the distant wilderness.

Very thick and heavy things spread over from the distant wilderness. They were like layers of tide that rushed onto the beach, rolling over in all directions.

It was like a big hand that was closing in on them step by step. From top to bottom, it gave off a mysterious feeling.

Just as everyone was curious about where this fog came from, suddenly…

Da da da… A series of footsteps sounded.

Very quickly, a scene that caused one’s scalp to go numb appeared. Everyone immediately knew where this fog came from…
