God-level Demon Hunter

"Wow, I heard her heartbeat."

The corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and a moving smile emerged—a feeling of blood connection emerged spontaneously, and an indescribable joy welled up in her heart.

Finally, besides grandma, Geralt, Yennefer, and Roy, she has another relative in this world!

But other than that.

There is also an inexplicable strange connection between himself and this child.

It contains indescribable power.

Very similar to how she felt about Roy, the same qualities, the bond that brings people together.

On the other side, the female sorceress who was watching saw another scene in her eyes.

The moment Cintra's lion cub and Calanthe embraced, the chaotic energy around them suddenly became unusually active, and the colorful elements seemed to be strongly stimulated, gathering around them and accumulating more and more.

Rich energy, enough to cast a powerful destructive spell!

And it is still transforming towards qualitative change at a high speed.

"Shirley!"

The sorceress suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the girl by the arm, and led her away from Calanthe in the astonishment of everyone. Suddenly, the chaotic energy that had gathered rapidly dispersed.

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically,

"Your Highness Calanthe...For safety's sake, Ciri had better not get too close to you."

"What do you mean?" The pregnant woman raised her eyebrows in displeasure, and asked in a majestic voice, "Ms. Yennefer, can I not get close to my little granddaughter?"

"No, no, you misunderstood, this is not my request. You should be clear that your family, Fiona and Ray Allen, have an ancient and noble bloodline, and this bloodline contains the power to overturn the world. powerful energy."

"Xi Li, as well as the child in your womb, if I'm not mistaken - they all inherited this bloodline, and they have not been able to control it so far! When they get together, they may interact with each other, produce unexpected changes, and hurt to your body!"

"What?!" Calanthe's expression changed drastically, and a scene from the past emerged in his mind - his daughter Paveta was suspended in the air, showing her supernatural power. "But Xi Rui has never shown any strength, and the child in my belly has not yet been born, so I don't feel anything unusual!"

"In fact, the little girl's magical talent is extremely outstanding." Ye Naifa looked at the sunset outside the window, and changed the topic, "It's getting late. Everyone, how about we talk at the dinner table?"

"Your Highness, I still have many questions to ask you for advice."

Chapter 27 Calanthe's Plan

"So you are deliberately concealing the news that you are alive?" Ye Nai asked in surprise. She used her slender index finger to brush her hair and rubbed her temples, "Because of the child in your belly?"

Calanthe leaned back in the wide chair, stroking her protruding belly, and fell into a slightly guilty silence.

It seems that the sorceress's questioning has been acquiesced.

Others enjoyed the table full of delicious food without saying a word.

Bran Ann Tursek, king of Little Skellige and the Islands, was dealing with the roast suckling pig on the plate. His hand movements were concise and full of strength, as if he was fighting an enemy on the battlefield. Queen Bierna beside him was sipping Thin lips put a shelled lobster on the plate of the young son Svan Rij, who rebelliously put the lobster back on the mother's plate with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

The owner of Keldrow Castle, Kratz Ann Clayt, cast his eyes out of the window, showing a unwilling side face in front of everyone. Ciri on the opposite side of the table still couldn't understand the topics discussed by everyone, and was chewing on the fish in his mouth. , looking around the crowd with emerald green eyes.

And King Skellige's magic advisor, druid Mossak, stroked his beard that hung down to his chest, breaking the awkward silence.

"This is not a decision made by Calanthe alone. Her Majesty the Queen is always planning in her dreams to drive those sons of bitch invaders out of her home and regain the Kingdom of Sintra." He is very penetrating. His words resounded throughout the dinner hall, and he explained patiently, because he knew that there was a group of witchers standing behind the sorceress, and his junior Evelyn often sent him news. "She longs to destroy all the Black Armors, to avenge the dead Cintra warriors, citizens, relatives, and warriors of Skellige!"

"In the first few days when I came here..." He glanced at the queen's gloomy face, and said in his heart, "For this reason, she often goes to the tomb of His Majesty East's tomb. Crying, insomnia night after night."

"She suffered from serious health problems, such as cold, fever, anemia... almost lost the child in her womb."

"Ah! Grandma, are you still feeling bad?" Shirley immediately put down the knife, and looked at Calanthe who was several meters away with concern, and a gratified smile appeared on the latter's round face.

"Hiri, don't you see that grandma has put on a lot of weight these past few months."

"At that time, Ms. Evelyn in Novigrad received news that the witcher failed to reach Ciri. She escaped from the castle and her whereabouts are unknown..." King Bran's son Svan Rij interjected.

And Xili's fair little face felt strangely hot, and she was slightly disturbed by her capriciousness and mischievousness back then.

"Even when we think about it, she may have suffered an accident. So the child in Calanthe's womb may be her only surviving relative, her husband who died heroically, Uncle East, the only flesh and blood left in the world .”

"Once word spreads that Calanthe is alive, there is no doubt... trouble will abound."

"The remnants of Cintra...the mages of Nilfgaard...the secret agents of the four northern kingdoms..."

"Under heavy pressure and numerous pressures, it is difficult for a pregnant woman to keep the child in her womb. We must create an environment for her to wait for delivery with peace of mind."

Yennefer began to put herself in the imagination.

On one side is the blood feud of family and country, on the other side is the flesh and blood in the stomach.

If she were Calanthe, she would undoubtedly choose a child!

This is the nature of every woman, mother!

Even if it seems selfish to do so.

"So we all persuaded her together." Kratz shook his head, and the reluctance on his face turned into a sigh, "Let's put aside the national hatred and family hatred for the time being, and then think about the long-term plan after the child in my stomach is born. We Skelly people, It is also impossible to let Nilfgaard go! Thousands of our dead brothers cannot be sacrificed in vain! Our dragon boats have been waiting for the right time."

"That's right..." King Bran wiped the oil stains on his beard and agreed, "My future nephew and niece are still there. I must ensure the safety of their mother and daughter. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the dead brother!"

Queen Bierna responded to her husband's words, and timely and affectionately sandwiched a piece of pork knuckle for Calanthe.

But Ye Naifa clearly saw a rare light in her gray eyes.

This queen of the Skellige Islands does not seem to be simple.

……

"Any other considerations?" asked the sorceress.

"Since you are here on behalf of the respected master demon hunter, and you are so liked and trusted by little Ciri, we will not hide it from you." Bran stroking his beard, said in a cold voice, "At present, Cintra has been completely defeated. Nilfgaard is occupied, and the situation cannot be reversed in a short time.”

"The Southern Empire has long built fortifications near there, promoting the Southern Sun Cult and customs and culture, using their currency with higher gold content, the florin, to replace the local currency. And spare no effort to win over the remaining people in the local villages and towns."

"According to our spies' reports, in the past six months, the farmers and craftsmen who stayed in occupied Sintra and were actively assimilated have a better life. They are freer, richer, and the merchant guilds enjoy more privilege."

"The residents in the south are called by the country, and they are also constantly crossing the Amer Mountains and immigrating to the north to 'open up wasteland'."

"They will soon use the materials, workers, and production chains in the South to produce more goods and replace our northern markets."

Bran's deep eyes shone with fear, "Whether you believe it or not, in just six months, Nilfgaard relied on its strong economic and cultural strength to attack Sintra, and The upper Soden area has formed a de facto occupation!"

"Even if Calanthe stood up and raised his arms and shouted! Will the people who choose to compromise with Nilfgaard and enjoy their preferential policies risk their lives to 'abandon the dark and turn to the bright'?"

It was dark outside the window.

The cold wind blew against the window lattice.

Everyone's hearts were cold.

no way!

The sorceress shook her head.

Nilfgaard has a good way of occupying other countries and has a lot of experience.

Since they invaded small countries such as Abin, Mecht, and Nasser decades ago, they have done countless "experiments" and the theory of "occupation" has been fully formed.

"There's no need for Calanthe to stand up and put himself in that dangerous position!" King Bran concluded.

"Currently, most of the kings of the northern countries, as well as the governor of the 'province' of Sintra in the south, Menno Cuhorn, the envoy of the Nilfgaardian emperor Emhyr va Enris, the bishop of the eternal fire, The forces of the north and the south, under the auspices of the northern warlock Vigoforts, who shined in the First Battle of Soden Mountain, opened a peace talks meeting in the central castle of Soden, north of the Yaruga River."

King Bran's son, Svanrigi, tried to add under his father's encouraging eyes, "The content of their discussion is very simple. Stop the war that hurts both sides, and the division of power after the war. The Battle of Sodden Mountain, it seems that the North has won In the end, he won, but he also lost his vitality."

"Redania, Temeria, Kaedwen, Aedirn, Lyria, and Livia are all unwilling to fight again, otherwise who will be the vanguard and make the biggest sacrifice?!"

The sorceress nodded.

The four northern countries have never been of one mind.

In the future, they will even lie in their nests, allowing Nilfgaard to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"In contrast to Nilfgaard, their rapid expansion has been temporarily terminated! But they still have a large number of troops, and their purpose and pace are consistent. They are all united under Emhyr's command, and they don't worry about continuing to fight!"

"In terms of peace talks, they will have the upper hand! If an agreement is reached..." Svan Ridge looked around at the crowd, "Nine times out of ten, the Northern Alliance will hand over Cintra to Nilfgaard. In exchange for breathing machine."

Everyone present was silent.

"Aunt Calanthe has lost her country and army. If she shows up in Soden to participate in this meeting, Skelly's sea fleet will not be able to go deep into the land."

"She can only be coerced by the four northern countries and become a puppet, or be coerced by Nilfgaard to lose her freedom..."

"Even if she joins, mourns Nilfgaard's atrocities, and condemns their injustice, the situation in this peace conference is biased towards the north, and the Northern Alliance has won Sintra..."

"But at that time, Sintra became a vassal of the northern border country... The days to come are like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. It is conceivable that it will not be able to turn around, and the glory will no longer be!"

"How different is this from being occupied by Nilfgaard?"

"So if you show up, it's better to hide and recharge your batteries and wait for the opportunity!"

Yennefer couldn't help but glanced at Calanthe.

Under such a tragic situation, there is still such a big ambition.

Recover Sintra once and for all, under no one.

But why?

They have no other arrangements?

After Sifan Riji finished explaining, King Bran nodded in appreciation to his son.

"However, the war has ended for more than half a year, and not all negative news"

"Once Nilfgaard regards Sintra as a province and the foundation of going north, and vigorously develops it, its forces will inevitably move north."

"At that time, the strength of the southernmost Nilfgaard will decrease accordingly! It is inevitable to lose sight of the other. Outside their capital, the city of the Golden Tower, the vast coastline becomes empty of defense."

"When the war between the north and the south resumes, it's our dragon boat's turn to show its power!"

A sinister smile appeared on Kratz's face,

"Skellige's Armada will harass the coastal areas in the hinterland of Niger and interrupt their trade routes. We will make them suffer!"

Ye Naifa suddenly realized that it is no wonder that after the brother country Sintra was destroyed.

The Skellige Islands have been on hold.

It turned out that such a dirty trick was being prepared!

……

"The current situation..." Calanthe interlocked his fingers on his stomach, staring at a bright red tapestry embroidered with fishing scenes on the column, two dragon boats, and hundreds of warriors were throwing a blanket Japan's big net, as they are doing now.

There was a hint of firmness in her originally soft tone.

"In addition to my closest comrades-in-arms and relatives, King Bran and Kratz, we have contacted the Sintra Grand Marshal Vesekid who was secretly developed by Brugger a few months ago."

"The marshal who commanded the battle of Manada?" Yennefer asked.

"Yes. Freya bless..." Calanthe said excitedly, with a rosy glow on his face, "He survived the great battle and moved to Bruge, and the noble King Venslav accepted him." and helped him take in the survivors who escaped from Cintra."

"King Wenslav is a man." Yennefer agreed, "fair, tolerant, and peace-loving. The year before last, he sent Geralt to Brokleon Forest to conclude a peace agreement with the Dryad Queen." .while the other two nations, Verdon and Kerak, are hostile to dryads."

"In short, Vesekid is developing very well in Brugge. When I contacted him last month, the armed resistance force formed by the people of Sintra already had 4000 people, and it was still expanding rapidly at an alarming rate. .”

Everyone present smiled when they heard the words.

The sorceress was startled, this is already an army that cannot be ignored!

Moreover, after the country was captured by Nilfgaard, they are still willing to join this kind of restoration army that has no hope at all, with their heads tied to their belts. The will and combat effectiveness of the soldiers in this army cannot be underestimated!

"So, Marshal Vesselkid knows your whereabouts?"

"He has always been a minister of the Kingdom of Sintra, and he is sincere to the country. The relationship between me and him is like a brother and sister. Naturally, there is no need to hide it. We exchange intelligence information every month." Calanther said Glancing at the little granddaughter who was dealing with a charcoal-grilled octopus, "When Xili disappeared, he also tried his best to find it!"

"When the day comes... when the child in my stomach is born, I will have no worries and devote myself to the great cause of restoring the country. When the North and Nilfgaard will tear their skins apart again, rekindle the flames of war, and hold each other back."

"My chance is here. Brugge's Restoration Army, and the fleet of Skelly Jabran's brother, will attack at the same time, and give the Black Armor Army guarding Sintra a blow from the bottom! Fight for Ling's glorious bloodline Re-entering the city of Sintra! This is justified!"

Calanthe smiled charmingly, with emerald green fire shining in his eyes, "When I fled from Sintra in disgrace, I swore to all the dead people, the warriors of Skelliger, and the spirit of East in heaven!"

"One day, the lost land will definitely be regained, and the Black Armored Army will pay the price!"

"just wait."

The wind blows on the window panes.

The eyes of everyone at the table sparkled.

For a moment, the sorceress' violet eyes burned with ambition.

Helping a country recover, if successful, she will receive unimaginably generous rewards and benefits.
