Chapter 92 Deadlock
what?
How long have they slept?

How come when I woke up, the school was dead?

The witcher masters wiped their faces and rubbed their eyes.

Looking around, there was no fire.

I looked out the window and saw that the sky was clear and no dragon was flying by.

No, even if a giant dragon invades, it will only increase the Chief's battle record.

The witcher masters turned around.

The chief's expression remained gloomy and solemn.

The masters knew he was not a man who liked to joke.

Is the Wolf School really going to end?

But why? It can’t be just because they slept for a short while, right?

The witcher masters looked at each other, their eyes passed over Arryn, then over the old and difficult White, and looked at Vesemir, the only one who was not sleepy.

Vesemir's scalp tingled at the sudden attention focused on him.

Although he knew nothing, in order not to lose face in front of his apprentice, he shook his head solemnly.

"Wow~"

There was a sudden noise.

"What's going on, Vesemir? Has some monster appeared? An evil god?"

The masters who had just woken up were really panicked. They were at a loss and asked questions one after another.

As expected of masters, their snoring was so loud that even their shouts in panic were exceptionally powerful.

"All right."

A steady and heavy voice sounded, and everyone calmed down.

"The Wolf School is going to be destroyed, but not now, and it's not like there's no chance of recovery."

Hearing the Chief's still calm tone, the Demon Hunter Masters looked at each other.

After a moment's silence, Dante hit the nail on the head.

"Who is our enemy?"

The chief shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"It's not clear yet."

The Demon Hunter Masters were a little confused.

How can the enemy be destroyed if we don’t even know it?
Is the Chief getting senile and confused?

Dante scratched his head and asked, "Where did you get the information? I learned that the Wolf School was going to be destroyed."

As he spoke, Dante seemed to remember something and secretly glanced at the darkness in the corner.

"It is related to Vera, but the direct information is not from her."

The chief noticed Dante's little move, glanced at Ailin vaguely, and said:
"This is a prophetic dream. Kaer Morhen will be conquered by mobs and wizards. Only one in ten witchers from the Wolf School will survive this war."

"Whose prophet had this prophetic dream?" White asked quickly.

The chief shook his head, stared at White, and said:
"The prophet did not want to reveal his name, but the signs of the predicted dream have already happened."

sign?

White was stunned for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he said:
"Is it King Haxor of Kaedwen?"

"What?" Everyone exclaimed, and their hearts sank.

Being hated by the king of the country where the school is located is more despairing than an attack by a dragon.

on the one hand,

The Ancient Sea Fortress is in Kaedwen, and the Blue Mountains are difficult to cross.

Almost all of Kaer Morhen's daily necessities are purchased from the surrounding villages.

Although the demon hunters of the Ancient Sea Fortress are familiar with the villagers, if King Kaedwen issues an order, the local nobles will not resist the king just because of a group of demon hunters.

The king didn't even have to do anything to prove that the witcher could no longer stay in Kaer Morhen.

on the other hand,

The demon hunters are very powerful, but all their strength and weapons are directed at the demons.

Facing a knight who is fully armored, well-trained and highly skilled in martial arts.

One against three is still a fight, but what about one against ten, or a team of a hundred?
What's more, there are a large number of militias.

How can we fight against these fifty or sixty demon hunters of the Wolf School?
The Wolf School is just a place where a group of demon hunters gather together for warmth.

When disaster strikes, how many people will have the will to fight, and how many people are willing to stay.

After all, with the selection method of the Witcher Trial, how many Witchers really have feelings for Kaer Morhen?

Once a war breaks out, the outcome of being defeated one by one can be predicted without even having a prophetic dream.

"Things aren't that bad..."

The determined demon hunter masters were all demoralized by the news, and the chief couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, the demon hunter masters all looked up with hope in their eyes.

The Chief considered for a moment.

He told her about the king sending the wizard Ben Ader as a messenger and the wizard that Arryn discovered spying on Kaer Morhen's defenses.

The demon hunters looked at each other again.

"So the enemy isn't just the Big Eater, but also the Ben Ade School of Wizardry?"

Dante spoke out the thoughts in his mind thoughtfully.

The faces of the witcher masters grew even darker.

A king alone can easily destroy the Ancient Sea Fortress, let alone dozens of wizards. How can we resist them?

The chief also fell silent. He actually couldn't figure out the crux of all this.

The sorceress had just returned to Kaer Morhen yesterday and hadn't had time to think about it, but she wasn't very nervous.

In the Wolf School, she only cares about Ailin. If she really can't do anything else, she will just teleport him away.

With her around, she can go anywhere in the world. Who dares to attack Ailin?
"In that case, why doesn't the king just attack us?"

"The king's army plus the wizard's spells should be enough to easily destroy Kaer Morhen. What are they hesitating about?"

When everyone was confused, Ailin suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the new Demon Hunter Master.

It dawned on me.

Yes, if it is so easy to wipe us all out, why wait?

Upon hearing this, the Chief suddenly remembered the letter he had received a few days ago. He glanced at Ailin and said:
"By the way, during the Spring Equinox, Hackso is going to hold a fighting competition between the apprentices of the Wolf School and the Cat School, and he invited me to go with him to discuss the extermination of the elves."

"Before, I have tried many times to test my attitude towards elves."

"He seems to want us to include Long Ears in the Wolf School's hunting list?"

Apprentice fighting competition?

Apprentices who have not passed the Trial of Green Grass and High Mountain will definitely not be able to leave Kaer Morhen, so the apprentices are referring to me, Zeus and the others?
Among the crowd, only Ailin was personally concerned and focused on the competition.

Everyone else thought the key lay in the elves and ignored the first half of the chief's words.

After all, you can't find out anything from an apprentice competition.

It could just be a trap or an excuse by the king.

Vesemir thought of something, looked at Arryn's side thoughtfully, and asked;
"Danti, when you first came back, didn't you also tell me about the war between Huxo and Long-Eared?"

Danti was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said:
"Yes... yes, Haxor declared war on Long Ears on the grounds that the elves stole his jewels."

"And on the way back, I met the king's personal guards and wizards - they should be Ban Ade's wizards. They seemed to be looking for someone."

After a pause, Dante asked doubtfully:
"But what does the war between the Big Eater and the Long Ear have to do with our current predicament?"

"Could it be that he wants our Wolf School demon hunters to serve as his militia?"

"Wouldn't we die faster then?"

"not to mention……"

Dante stopped talking and looked around.

The witcher masters all thought of this sentence at the same time, understanding each other's intention.

The Wolf School adheres to neutrality.

This is their creed, an oath that even death cannot change, and the most profound lesson left by the Witcher Cult.

There was no way they would follow Haxo's instructions and hunt the elves.

Therefore, the conflict with Hackso seemed irreconcilable.

The meeting once again reached a deadlock.
