The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 - Sodden's Hills 03.



[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

Madara began receiving all the information his clones had gathered until the last one vanished. At that moment, he had complete knowledge of everything happening across the mountain range. The mages sent by the mage chapter were approaching from the north, with Geralt a half-day's journey behind, and he also identified several Nilfgaardian camps scattered throughout the area, ready to ambush. Yet, there was more lurking here—dark entities taking advantage of the situation.

"They probably used portals to ambush them as soon as they learned about Tissaia's plans..." Madara murmured, understanding the situation and realizing that the empire knew all the details, likely with Vilgefortz as their informant.

Madara said nothing more and simply advanced toward the trees, moving towards the first camp. There was something darker here than Nilfgaardian men, but he ignored it for the moment.

A few kilometers from where Madara was, a military camp had been set up in a part of the mountain forest. The area was full of men in black armor performing basic tasks as they waited for orders to act.

"So, we're here to defeat the sorcerers, but can we beat them with just swords, arrows, and spears?" one of the Nilfgaardian soldiers asked in their language, addressing the local commander.

"Stop fearing the sorcerers. We can beat them. A group of mages will be here soon as well. We just have to wait for our orders as soon as we see the target on the road," the commander of the squad responded sharply, while the man nodded cautiously.

"Anyway, we only need to wait for the main forces of this mission to arrive here; there are other camps also preparing around us..." he said, aware that they weren't the only ones patrolling the forest, searching for signs of the convoy full of mages.

However, as the front soldier withdrew after speaking with his commander, something happened—a sudden sound of air being sliced—and without warning, the leader saw the soldier from his squad scream in a mixture of pain and surprise, falling backward with a strange knife striking exactly the spot where there was no protection between his helmet and breastplate.

The man who watched his comrade fall backward and die in moments was left in shock for a second before his first instinct was to yell to the camp, "We're under enemy attack!"

Madara didn't continue the attack immediately, watching as the whole camp quickly scrambled to prepare, attempting to grab their weapons and even their armor. He began to pull more kunai from his scroll and attacked, kunai flying from the trees, striking them with ease.

Two dozen soldiers in the group of a hundred fell. They were growing desperate, trying to shield themselves from the projectiles Madara launched, hiding anywhere they could.

"Stop attacking from the shadows, cowards!!" the commander shouted, assuming it was dozens of people attacking them with knives used like arrows—an unexpected sight.

However, as he demanded, Madara decided to act, stepping out from the trees and landing calmly in front of the camp.

"A boy?" a guard exclaimed, staring at Madara in front of them without his Sharingan.

"This can't just be a boy... Is it really only him?!" another asked.

"Are you going to keep hiding...?" Madara spoke, pulling out a kunai and launching it at one of the men who was looking at him with his head raised. The kunai embedded itself in a wooden post beside him, causing him to scream and fall backward, nearly having his head pierced in that moment.

"He's the one attacking us!" someone stated the obvious, and Madara now grabbed two kunai to engage in close combat.

"Kill! Kill that thing!" the leader shouted, realizing he wasn't dealing with just any boy. He failed to recognize Madara from the Nilfgaardian reports, which described his strange red eyes, but Madara didn't bother to activate his Sharingan to deal with these soldiers.

The first man approached with his sword but didn't even have time to react as Madara swept past him, slicing through his armor with a kunai infused with chakra. It was as if he were cutting paper, and the man fell, screaming as Madara dashed toward the next one.

Quickly, more and more men ran toward Madara as he began fighting them, using his kunai against almost 80 soldiers. Madara swiftly began cutting through them with ease.

This went on for a while until only 10 remained, now begging for their lives after seeing more than 60 of their comrades die in less than 10 minutes. They had come to the conclusion that Madara was not human.

Madara watched them run while standing among the dead bodies, showing no mercy for them or for anyone else he would encounter.

"Sorry, but I can't leave you alive," Madara simply said as he continued his silent destruction of the camps, careful not to use any fire jutsu that could destroy the entire area in an instant, as that would draw unwanted attention from others.

Madara suddenly burst into smoke, revealing he had only been a clone, while kunai flew from the forest, swiftly striking nine people in the vulnerable spots of their armor, killing them instantly and painlessly. It was all Madara could do for them.

"AHHHH!!!" There was one last man who didn't receive a quick death. The kunai was thrown with such force that, even without chakra, it pierced through his armor, and the man fell to the ground with an injured leg.

"I made only a small cut. There's no reason for such wailing," Madara said, landing calmly in front of the man with a neutral tone.

"Who are you, you monster?!" the Nilfgaardian soldier cried out, whimpering. Not from the pain—it was merely a scratch on his leg—but from the fear of death, as everyone except him had been killed by this monster, who did all of it so quickly and brutally.

"Your Empire and I have been enemies since the war in Cintra two months ago. So, I'm only doing the same thing you would do to the people of the North," Madara said with a tone devoid of emotion, his eyes transforming into a pure, blood-like red as he stared at the man, who became dazed. In the next moment, the soldier's eyes opened slightly, appearing calmer, now under Madara's control.

"Tell me everything you know. The plans for this mission and your objectives here," Madara demanded.

The man nodded. Though his leg was bleeding and he still showed some signs of pain, he began to divulge everything.

"We have six camps along the mountain range to intercept the group of sorcerers coming this way. But it's not just us; there's a reinforcement group that will arrive through the portal they sent us as well. There are dozens of southern mages," he began.

Nilfgaard, to prevent any attacks coming down from the mountains on their army, sent a group to ambush the mages via portals. Not even the mage chapter was supposed to know this, as it was unexpected. However, there were traitors among them, passing information about the operation.

"In any case," Madara said thoughtfully. "After destroying the sorcerers… They'd use the advantage of the terrain to attack the Sodden and Temeria troops simultaneously, with the same strategy that Tissaia had planned... After all, the mountains were an ideal location for long-range spells cast by dozens of mages, wiping out thousands of enemies while leaving the troops terrified…" He murmured, thinking it wasn't a bad idea, though both sides wanted to use it. But Nilfgaard would have had a much better chance had Madara not intervened.

"I see," Madara murmured, absorbing the information. He would have to wait and see what would happen next, but first, there were more troops to deal with.

"Tell me, is there any signal or order I can use to call those mages to a specific location?" he asked.

The commander shook his head. "No. They'll just appear, and we must obey them as soon as they arrive," he said.

Madara felt that this information was enough. "Alright. Then, as a reward, I'll give you a quick and painless death," he said simply, cutting off the man's head. He couldn't afford mercy for these soldiers; his mission here could not fail, not in the midst of a war, perhaps the greatest battle the North had ever seen.

After that, Madara looked over the camp full of dead bodies scattered around, but he decided not to do anything, as he didn't want to alert the enemy by burning them. He considered disposing of the bodies to prevent them from becoming food for monsters, but he chose to leave it for the following day and left the area, moving on to the other camps.

It didn't take long for him to repeat the same process until the end of the day. While men screamed, Madara eliminated them using only kenjutsu and taijutsu, destroying camp after camp, leaving piles of bodies, and swiftly taking out all the scouts in the forest to ensure there were no Nilfgaardians left.

Meanwhile, the group with Triss among them, unaware of everything that was happening, continued advancing along the road, now choosing a spot to spend the night.

As night fell, a group of portals opened in one of the camps. Over forty mages emerged, looking surprised as they took in the silent, empty camp.

"This?!" one of the first mages exclaimed in shock, lighting a torch and realizing they were in the middle of an empty camp.

"What happened here?" he asked, surprised to find the place resembling a battlefield but without any bodies on the ground.

"It seems everyone was killed... Someone discovered us…" another murmured, sounding concerned.

"That shouldn't be possible…" the first mage muttered.

"Does it matter now?" The leader appeared, seeing no one there and noticing there weren't even any dead bodies. "Let's check the other camps and see if our targets are nearby or if they were the ones who did this…" he said, somewhat confused by the mysterious situation.

No one knew exactly what had happened, but they decided to carry on with their mission. They needed to eliminate the sorcerers from the chapter of mages and inform their superiors before beginning their attack against the enemy army, confident that, with their forty mages, they were more powerful than an entire thousand-man army.

Meanwhile, Madara hadn't expected them to arrive in the middle of the night, as he advanced through the forest, exploring a dark area filled with ominous creatures that he hadn't been to before, more numerous and sinister than usual after his clone reported the situation.

It was as if the atmosphere grew more putrid as he advanced, with walking creatures all around. He simply left a clone behind and went to investigate this situation himself, as even that monster he'd faced at the base of the mountain had fled this place, which should have been its natural habitat.

At the same time, Madara's clone made his way toward the mages' camp along the road, wanting to have a brief conversation with them about the situation and interact with a few characters he hadn't before.
