[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Northern kingdoms.

"Does anyone have the means to project the battle so we can better see it?" one of the kings commented as they waited for the conversation to continue.
"Can you do that?" Foltest asked, looking at Tissaia.
"It can be done with the help of some mages, by accessing the memory of someone who was there and projecting it for everyone to see. But it won't work on a mage, and I doubt anyone here is willing to have their mind invaded," Tissaia replied.
"That's excellent. We can choose someone else. I'd like to see it personally," the Queen of Lyria said.
"Then we're lucky that my general found someone who was there in person."
Quickly, a man was brought into the hall by the guards. Initially summoned to testify, he now found himself surrounded by sorceresses and mages, who informed him that his memories would be exposed.
The mages prepared to access his memories while Tissaia summoned four other mages to assist her with the spell. Despite his discomfort with having his mind invaded, the man had no choice, as all the northern leaders and his own king were present, expecting the mages to reveal something useful.
A line of mages formed around him, and he began to feel strange. His eyes turned completely white, and his body froze in place, entering a trance.
"Good… I've accessed his mind. Now let's project it for everyone to see," Tissaia said, as they chanted another spell in the Elvish language. Moments later, the ceiling above them became hazy, revealing a projection for all to see.
As Tissaia and the other mages completed the spell, images began to take form, with Tissaia keeping her hand on the man's head to ensure the memories flowed to the projection.
Everyone began to see an open field covered in grass, where men and women stood facing each other in the open space.
All eyes in the room turned upward, as the ceiling projection was the only place they could watch the memory. However, some kings were clearly displeased by having to crane their necks that way.
In any case, they all saw Madara Uchiha appear, carrying the banner of his house—the same banner he used in Cintra when he was still a noble of the kingdom.
"So that's his banner..." King Vizimir II commented, watching through the soldier's memory. The soldier had been in the front lines, hearing the murmurs of confusion and dissatisfaction caused by this stranger leading the troops.
Some clearly recognized Madara, showing their disdain and hatred for the man who had helped Cintra defeat Sodden in their last conflict. His actions had condemned countless people of Sodden to death.
But in the memory, Madara didn't seem to care about anyone's opinion. His gaze remained fixed on the enemy army. Then, from atop his horse, he looked at the soldiers surrounding him.
"I don't know what you will do here, but I will fight. I'll be the first to strike the enemy, the first to cut through them, and I'll carve a path to the end of this battle. I will not retreat on the battlefield," he said. "The question I ask you is: will you follow me? Because those who don't follow me will fall or flee. The choice is yours. Without further delay, prepare yourselves to reap the lives of that army until this battle is over!"
He raised his spear, pointing it toward the enemy.
And in the next moment, Madara suddenly spurred his horse forward, charging ahead before anyone could anticipate it. He advanced alone, but his group quickly followed, shouting:
"Go, go! Kill the Nilfgaardians!"
"He is certainly bold..." the Queen of Lyria remarked with a curious expression.
"A child riding alone toward an enemy army? It sounds like a fantasy tale," the King of Kaedwen commented, somewhat surprised.
"It's obvious this one is not human..." Foltest said.
In any case, the soldiers ran far behind Madara as he rode his horse, passing through the hail of arrows. As he had said, he was the first to reach the enemy, leaping from his horse with his sword in hand. Meanwhile, the soldier whose memory was being displayed continued running with his comrades on the other side, under the rain of arrows. He saw Madara enter the fray and disappear amidst the enemy ranks as the clash began.
It quickly turned into a brutal melee, with both sides pushing against each other along with the enemy cavalry. However, as the clash continued, the northerners began to feel the Nilfgaardians weakening. Soon, they broke through their defense due to the lack of reinforcements holding the line. As they advanced further into the battlefield, they entered an area littered with dead bodies — all Madara's doing.
And so, a bloodbath began. The northern forces had a significant advantage over their enemies, but there was no sign of Madara, aside from the countless bodies he had left behind. The field was filled with screams of rage and agony, with men and horses falling in battle.
"Such barbarity... I shouldn't be witnessing something like this," one of the queens murmured at the horrendous sight, while her husband, the king, tried to calm her down.
Suddenly, as the battle continued, the northerners killed more and more Nilfgaardians. Their enemy's forces were significantly depleted, mostly due to the carnage Madara had caused.
It was then that the soldier saw Madara again. He was now on foot, running across the battlefield in shinobi style, cutting down anyone who tried to attack him. With his sword and swift strikes from his limbs, he was a harbinger of death. No one could stop him. He killed many with a single blow before his opponents could even react. For everyone watching — the kings, the mages, and the leaders in the hall — it was a surreal sight.
"I've heard stories of a boy who became a witcher after surviving the transformation. That would explain his strength... But this, this is beyond anything a witcher could do. It's no wonder we've heard that he's even capable of killing witchers sent to hunt him down... It seems to be true," Dijkstra remarked, observing closely as the boy moved faster than anything he had ever seen.
"Anyone who faces this boy alone is dead... What the hell is he?!" one of the kings commented, clearly worried. The knights present swallowed hard, wondering if they could stand a chance against him in combat.
"He must be a monster! He's already tried to kill me!" the King of Brugge shouted for all to hear, recalling the incident where Tissaia had sent sorcerers to his palace to pursue the Princess of Cintra.
The battle raged on, and the soldier witnessed an intriguing scene: multiple Madaras were fighting a Nilfgaardian mage-archer, who teleported across the battlefield, trying to eliminate the clones.
"How is that possible? He can multiply himself? Is there such a spell?!" the kings whispered among themselves. Some of the mages, who had never seen such a technique, were astonished, having never heard of anything like it.
"If one of him is already dangerous... I'm seeing at least five of them," someone commented.
"He was using magic! We had an agreement not to use magic in this battle!" Fringilla complained.
"He's not the only one. I believe you can see the Nilfgaardian mage using magic as well," the King of Sodden replied mockingly, addressing the two Nilfgaardian sorceresses.
The battle continued, with everyone watching as Madara defeated the Nilfgaardian mage-archer. He awaited his opponent with several kunai in hand. The kings and mages in the hall observed the boy's techniques in awe, noting more and more of his skills.
In the end, the soldier saw the Nilfgaardian mage disappear from the battlefield, wounded, before an explosion occurred in the distance. The Nilfgaardian troops quickly fell into panic, and the northern forces began to secure their victory. At that moment, the enemy army started retreating.
This marked a significant victory for the northern forces in the first clash. The soldier, whose memory was being projected, watched as Madara stood amidst his numerous clones. Then, one by one, the clones vanished, and Madara left the battlefield before anyone could notice his departure. His name — Madara Uchiha — echoed throughout the battlefield as the northern soldiers celebrated their triumph.
"That was quite interesting, I must admit..." the King of Kovir commented calmly.
"Let's move on to the final battle, then," the King of Redania said.
"Wait!" someone exclaimed, as the kings turned displeased toward the speaker — a sorcerer. Hen Gedymdeith glanced at everyone for a moment before continuing.
"There was an attack on the camp during this time, and one of the most powerful sorcerers on the continent, Vilgefortz of Roggeveen, was attacked and possibly killed!" the sorcerer shouted. He would not allow an injustice against one of the most renowned names of the Chapter of Mages to go unanswered. If the boy was responsible, he had to pay as a criminal and a murderer.
"Explain this..." the King of Redania demanded.
The sorcerer began recounting what had happened. Lydia, Vilgefortz's assistant, was found dead after an explosion at the camp, and Vilgefortz's body had disappeared. They had found traces of his blood, though there wasn't much left after the explosion.
"Are you saying the boy tried to kill him...?" one of the kings asked.
"Certainly, your majesties. You saw what he was capable of. He is undoubtedly behind this. If Vilgefortz isn't dead by now — after all, his body hasn't been found — we've seen what this boy, if we can even call him human, is capable of... We must bring justice to this!" the old sorcerer declared, as the hall fell silent, many nodding in agreement.
"We are looking at him as if he were a threat, but the same boy fought for the North and brought us a victory. We must take that into account as well," Thorne remarked.
"You seem very inclined to defend him, King of Sodden," the Queen of Lyria noted.
"And why shouldn't I? Whether he did it or not, thanks to him and this war, we don't have Nilfgaardian soldiers invading our lands," he replied.
"Let's leave these discussions for later. Show us the final scene, where the true battle begins," one of the kings demanded.
They prepared to use the same soldier's memory, as he stood in the front lines, staring at the Nilfgaardian army — a force of over 150,000 men.
Everything seemed normal as both armies faced each other, with the kings and mages watching attentively. Then, for those present at the time, the boy appeared, clad in red armor. And so he did in the projection, as they saw someone leap into the air in front of everyone, revealing Madara once more, the Uchiha symbol on his back, wearing crimson armor.
A man on horseback approached the boy, asking him to present himself to the general of Temeria, who was also present in the current room. At that time, he had no idea what would happen next.
What followed was shocking to everyone in the hall. Madara turned directly toward the King of Sodden, who stood at a distance beside the general.
"THORNE!" he shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield. Even the Nilfgaardians gasped at the sound of it.
"I want no man interfering with me at first! Hold the entire northern army!" Madara exclaimed.
"I will face all 150,000 Nilfgaardians alone. So do not get in my way!" he finished, turning back to face the entire enemy army.
"Is he really going to do that?!" the Queen of Lyria was unable to believe what she had just heard.
"My gods... This boy is insane," another king said, losing his composure.
"How could someone say such words..."
Murmurs spread among the mages, soldiers, and kings. None of them could fully process what they had just heard. Those who had been on that battlefield wore calm expressions, knowing that what was about to happen would leave everyone in utter shock.
Madara took a step forward, no longer on horseback. With another step, he advanced further, and soon enough, he was running straight toward the enemy. Everyone watched in awe as he ran faster than a horse, passing through the rain of arrows and reaching the Nilfgaardian army alone.
In the next moment, everyone began to witness the massacre that Madara unleashed. From the perspective of the soldier in the front lines, they saw explosions of flames in the distance, accompanied by screams of death and terror.
The slaughter had begun.
