The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 - The Battle Between the South and the North 11.



[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

Between the armies of Nilfgaard, the two command groups from both sides met once again under a flag of peace. On the northern side were King Thorne, General Kaelen, Tissaia, and a few other sorcerers and nobles who also led various factions of the 130 men.

On the southern side stood Nilfgaard's main general, Menno Coehoorn. However, he was not in good condition due to the explosion and injuries he had suffered from Madara's bomb paper. Despite Nilfgaard's mages treating him for two consecutive days, he still bore many wounds, his body covered in bandages. However, his face was intact.

The Nilfgaardian nobles were gathered by his side, looking at the Northerners with disdain. Among them was Hyuuir himself, his arm bandaged due to Madara's attack as well. Prominent mages such as Fringilla Vigo and Francesca Findabair were also present, along with others on the southern side.

"You Northerners will pay for the treacherous game you played against us." The silence was broken when one of the Nilfgaardian nobles spoke in a somber tone.

"As far as I know, it was your mage who was on the battlefield fighting. Is it our fault he came to you with a bomb on his body after running from the battlefield?" Tissaia replied, though unable to fully explain the situation, as she did not understand the bomb paper.

"Lies!" Another noble retorted in a firm tone, speaking in the northern tongue.

"Silence!" General Menno suddenly ordered, interrupting what he considered a useless argument. His men immediately obeyed. The Northern army was surprised to see that, despite his injuries, he seemed relatively well.

General Kaelen, who had remained silent until then, decided to speak. "Your army is further north than it should be, General Menno. Withdraw them and move your forces below Cintra, where they belong," he said in an authoritative tone.

"Tsk. Stop spouting such nonsense, General Kaelen. We can ignore this absurd request and simply crush you while conquering the rest of the North. Don't be foolish. This is an easy fight for us. Besides, I can sense your fear." Menno retorted, staring directly at his opponent.

"Don't speak as if you've already won this fight!" King Thorne intervened in a harsh tone as well.

General Menno smirked sarcastically. "We have 150,000 men. We will massacre you all. I don't think there will be any more negotiations between us. Only the death of much of your people. Let's stop this charade. We are no longer talking about a battle of ten thousand men against another ten thousand. This is a real war now. By the end of this day, we will make history. We will march through Sodden and Temeria alike. The North will belong to the Empire. Those who surrender beforehand will be rewarded. As for those who try to stop us... well, their end will not be pleasant." He spoke his final words, his tone dangerously ominous.

The Northerners held their gazes steady, trying not to show fear. However, there were some who looked cautiously, almost screaming internally to know if there was still a way to negotiate. Certainly, their leaders would not allow it and would be hanged as soon as they left.

"And where is Vilgefortz?" Fringilla's voice broke the silence once more.

The absence of one of the most powerful mages, who should have been by King Thorne, General Kaelen, and the other sorcerers, was evident.

"You should know that," mocked one of the Northern mages. Fringilla raised an eyebrow, confused. But no one else answered. She then chose to remain silent.

The general scrutinized them closely. They only maintained their fixed stares, without responding, until he gave a small, disdainful smirk. "Well, that's enough. Let's go. I hope to see your heads on spikes brought to me soon," the man said as he turned his horse. Following this, all the Nilfgaardians began advancing toward the enemy Northern army.

"Let's go back," General Kaelen said, watching the backs of the Nilfgaardians as they retreated. As they walked, he continued, "I want everyone to assume their positions, and there will be no forgiveness for any mistakes." He spoke firmly before turning to Thorne. "Come with me. I want you to accompany me." He ordered as he and the King of Sodden headed to a higher ground, a little off the battlefield, where they could issue orders. Those not on the front line joined them.

Quickly, mounted men bearing the symbols of their houses, marking them as nobles and leaders of the northern groups, began organizing the 130,000 warriors. They moved swiftly from side to side as the troops prepared. The infantry and cavalry were on the front line, listening attentively to their leaders and taking their positions.

In the Nilfgaardian camp, the scene was much the same. The tension in the air grew thicker as both armies prepared for the battle that was about to begin.

It was then that Madara finally made his way to the front line, almost unnoticed due to his incredible speed. Everyone in the first row was stunned to see him suddenly appear in mid-air, leaping out from among the soldiers and landing gracefully in front of them.

He descended from a height of more than ten meters, bending his knees slightly upon landing before straightening up. His red armor gleamed under the sun's reflection, bearing the symbol of his house for all the Northerners behind him to see as he crossed his arms.

The nearby commanders were astonished to see him there. He stood over ten meters ahead of the first line, in front of the entire army, as the closest man on this field to the enemy.

"The boy has reappeared," commented General Kaelen from the hill beside Thorne, who also looked at Madara with surprise. Thorne couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at seeing him there. If Madara could replicate his performance from the last battle, they would surely have a chance at victory.

"Hey, you there." Beside Thorne, General Kaelen addressed a man. "Tell the boy to come to me and follow my orders immediately. If he doesn't, he'll be branded a war criminal." He spoke firmly, as the man looked at him in astonishment.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, General. After all, Madara is independent here. You should know that from the last battlefield," Thorne replied cautiously.

"It doesn't matter. He is in front of Temeria's army. He must obey and inform us of the princess's location," the General insisted confidently.

The knight quickly began running toward Madara, weaving through the crowd of soldiers along the edge. Meanwhile, the army looked at Madara with a mixture of admiration and hope. He had been the hero of the last battle but had disappeared since then. Now, his presence momentarily boosted everyone's morale. At the same time, curious eyes turned toward his armor, vastly different from anything they had seen before, unlike any knight's armor they were familiar with.

Finally, the knight sent by the General managed to reach Madara. "You are Madara, aren't you?" the man asked in a stern tone.

Madara looked at him without replying, prompting the knight to continue. "General Kaelen, the leader of the entire army you see here, demands your attention. You must come with me."

"I'm not interested," came Madara's response as he raised an eyebrow at the man.

"Don't be foolish! If you don't obey him, you'll lose your head by the end of this war," the knight retorted, attempting to intimidate him.

Madara gave a small smile. "Then convey these words to him: I told him to go fuck himself. I hope he understands that." He spoke calmly, leaving the man stunned, struggling to comprehend what he had just heard. Without saying anything else, Madara turned and walked away, leaving the knight bewildered.

This scene was observed from the other side, where the Nilfgaardians were also following the events unfolding in the northern army. However, they didn't fully grasp what was happening. Unlike them, one of the Nilfgaardian commanders, using a magical spyglass, analyzed the situation closely.

"It's him, General," a Nilfgaardian mage spoke in their native tongue to General Menno.

"Very well. I hope everyone is prepared to kill that boy," the General replied in a serious tone. He had organized an entire meeting just to strategize against Madara, and his mages would play a crucial role in the plan.

Meanwhile, in a group far from the armies, a few men were also observing Madara with interest, though they were much further away than anyone else.

"So, he's finally appeared," one of them commented.

"Yes, we can finally finish the kid off and even take out part of the armies. Sounds interesting. Why are we wasting time? Let's head over there," another one said.

"Don't forget: I will kill him. No one else is to lay a hand on him!" declared the man who had been forced to retreat during his previous fight with Madara, as he advanced with his followers to infiltrate the Nilfgaardian army.

Madara, for his part, calmly observed the 150,000 opponents in front of him, standing more than 500 meters away. His heart pounded strongly in his chest, filling his body with energy.

He wasn't just excited to face so many men—he was eager to destroy that army. From that moment on, he intended to unleash destruction and death. He didn't know how people would react to it afterward, but he didn't care. Closing his eyes, he activated the Sharingan, reopening them to focus his gaze on the entire area ahead, as if he were already looking at 150,000 corpses.

He knew that, despite the Northerners being only 20,000 men short of the enemy, most of them were peasants who had never trained properly—unlike the other army, which was clearly composed of soldiers who had been trained for years.

His gaze shifted to the distant hill, where he saw Thorne and the general who had issued him an order, as if he were a subordinate. He watched the man return to the general hesitantly, delivering Madara's response. The general's reaction was a mix of surprise and anger, while Thorne smirked slightly, as if he had already anticipated such a response.

Madara sighed, focusing chakra in his throat.

"THORNE!" he shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield. Even the Nilfgaardians gasped upon hearing it. Everyone turned to look at him, surprised. Even Thorne raised his head, curious.

The mages nearby also turned their eyes to Madara, intrigued. Yennefer, who stood on the front line with other mages, paid close attention to the boy as he continued.

"I don't want anyone interfering with me at the start! Hold back the entire northern army!" Madara exclaimed. Those who heard him tried to decipher his meaning, but his next words made it clear.

"I will face all 150,000 Nilfgaardians alone. So don't get in my way!" he shouted, his eyes returning to fixate on the enormous army before him, ready to advance.

Then, he took the first step.
