From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 144 The Hearty Earl Seldom Fights Alone

"What a mess, I'm the Redanian, do you know the laws of Redania better than I do!" He shouted, "You are now in the land of Redania, I don't care Where are the nobles from, you must abide by the laws here when you come to Redania!"

Dangerous lights flashed in the eyes of House and Levine, and they absolutely could not tolerate these soldiers talking nonsense in front of the Earl.Lan hadn't ordered yet, but their hands were on their weapons.

"What are you guys going to do, do you want to resist?" Seeing this, the triangular-eyed team leader's reaction was a bit too intense, or he was very excited.He backed away while yelling, and at the same time commanded the soldiers around him to attack Lann together.

But these soldiers looked at Lane, as if they were hesitant because of the earl status that House had mentioned at the beginning.

"What are you afraid of? He is the Earl of Sintra, a small country that is about to perish, even our Baron of Redania is inferior!" The leading soldier shouted, "There are only four of them, what are you afraid of?"

"And look at his yellow eyes, that's him, he's the witcher!"

Hearing his shout, all the Redanian soldiers drew their weapons together.

The captain and everyone on the deck didn't know what happened, but when they saw the flashing sword, they screamed and left subconsciously to clear an open space here.

The triangular-eyed team leader seemed to be sure of winning, and said proudly: "Don't be afraid, this Earl from Sintra. But you'd better come with us, so as not to get hurt."

Lann gave a slight hint, and tilted his head to signal House.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention, and forty heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the ship's room and below the deck, crowding the deck to the brim.

They walked neatly, with cold eyes, and swords everywhere, staring at the Redanian soldiers who were talking nonsense.

"I'm not afraid, but there are only eight of you, so you should be afraid."

The leading soldier was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he turned his eyes back to Lan's body stiffly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and before he could speak, a hand glowing with white light came into his eyes.

【Yakexi seal】.

"Are you real Redanian soldiers? You're looking for a witcher. Why?"

The leading Redanian soldier suddenly became confused, his eyes were dull, and he murmured unconsciously: "We are Redanian soldiers, a warlock gave us a sum of money, and asked us to help Capture a witcher on this ship."

Lan En sneered: "Is this enough for you to deal with me?"

The soldier went on to reply, "We only know it's a witcher."

Heh, it looks like they were tricked. This group of soldiers confidently thought that their team would be able to deal with the "demon hunter" easily, but they didn't expect that they were facing a demon hunter count with his own army.

Moreover, Lan En guessed that the people who asked them to take action didn't know himself well, and most of these soldiers came here as a test. He didn't expect Lan En to have so many soldiers around him.

Then the intelligence agencies of several kings can basically be ruled out. Based on their understanding of themselves, they will never do such a stupid thing.Since the Redanian soldier said he was a "warlock", Lann couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.

Seeing Lann's attack, the other Redanian soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, especially when the leader explained what he had done in detail, they screamed in horror.

"Magic, it's magic, this witcher can do magic!"

Lan didn't put too much magic into Axi's seal, so the triangular-eyed captain woke up after a few breaths, and he was stunned for a while before he realized what he had experienced.

He has been hearing the names of warlocks and demon hunters, but until he actually confronts these extraordinary people, no one knows what kind of means they have.The leader of Redania's face was pale at the moment, and he faintly felt that he was rolling on the verge of life and death.

Eight people have absolutely no ability to resist against 40 people who are fully armed.Lan didn't want to bleed casually, and signaled the Sintra soldiers around him to go up and tie up these people.

"I don't want to kill Redania's soldiers in Redania's territory. It would be troublesome to explain that." Lan said lightly, "So you'd better not make unnecessary resistance..."

But before Lan could finish speaking, the transport ship seemed to hit something, and suddenly began to shake violently.

The Sintra cavalry, who are used to fighting on horseback, suddenly became unstable. Many carts and goods brought by the merchants began to shake violently following the inclination of the deck, and a "plop plop" sound of falling into the water could even be heard.

On the lower deck of the transport ship, the livestock area full of cattle, sheep, and pigs rang out loudly, full of panic.But then there was an unreasonably loud neigh, and the animals fell silent again.

"What's the matter, have you hit the rocks?" Some passengers yelled in horror. The captain broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly pushed the helmsman away to steer the helm himself, but then he found that the matter was not simple.

The ship did not deviate. This is an old route that has been traveled more than a dozen times, and there must be no reefs.

And when the people on the deck turned their backs, the Redanian soldiers who had been sailing in the delta all year round performed much better than the Sintra people.

The leading Redanian soldier looked around suspiciously, and suddenly saw Shani standing among the Sintra people.

She was the only woman in the group, but the only unarmored, unarmed civilian.

He gestured a few concealed gestures towards his subordinates, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Suddenly, the squad leader took advantage of the inattention of the Sintra soldier guarding him, spit thick phlegm on the opponent's face, and then slammed into the Sintra soldier whose sight was blocked It became a rolling gourd, and almost turned over and fell into the river.

He rushed towards Xia Ni and shouted: "If the officer finds out what we are doing, we will be hanged too. Take the hostages and we will live!"

All the Redanian soldiers stood up together at this moment, and the Cintra people were carelessly thrown away by them.Fortunately, the sword had already been confiscated, otherwise there would be casualties.

Redania's team leader rushed towards Xia Ni with red eyes, and what was in front of him was his last straw.

Xia Ni was so frightened that she turned pale with fright, and she fell to the ground when she was shaken by the boat.

But before she could scream, an arrow flew from nowhere and was nailed to the captain's waist.The archers probably aimed at the neck at first, but missed because of the shaking of the ship.

But it doesn't matter, the squad leader has fallen to the ground wailing at this moment, and there is enough time for the archer to shoot the second and third arrows.

"Help!" The squad leader fell to the ground and wailed, looking at his companions with hopeful eyes, but he could only see seven neat figures from their backs.

All the Redanian soldiers chose to jump off the deck, trying to use their adept water skills to escape.

They are not like the squad leader who has some rights and property on their bodies. They are all big soldiers, and now they are in chaos. At worst, they can start again in another place. Why bother to survive surrounded by more than 40 long swords?
Before Xia Ni could react, she was hugged by a powerful big hand. From the corner of her eyes, she found that her face was stuck on a lion's seal; when she looked up, it was brighter than the sun. blonde.

"I said that the soldiers of Cintra will protect you, and I never break my promise."

Behind her, Milva pursed her lips and lowered her bowstring. She fought hard not to watch this scene.

Captain Redania looked at all this with resentful eyes, knowing that nothing could be done.He gritted his teeth and broke off the arrow shaft stuck in his waist, and was about to swim away like those men who jumped into the river, when he suddenly heard a series of familiar voices screaming.

"Ah! There are monsters in the water!" The sailors on the deck suddenly shouted.

Lan put Xia Ni down, walked to the edge of the deck and looked down.

I saw that the originally green and dirty river water turned into waves of blood at this moment. A Redanian soldier struggled in the river water, but was dragged down to the surface by something, leaving only a few residual limbs floating up. .The wave rolled again, and immediately there were no stumps.

The Redanian soldiers were terrified, and they frantically tried to get back to the ship, grabbing the ropes and anchors and trying to climb up, wailing loudly, begging the people on the deck to stretch out something to help them a handful.

But the underwater monster didn't seem to be satisfied after eating a soldier, it fixed its eyes on these noisy prey.

The surface of the river suddenly exploded, and in the splashing water, a lumpy, rough-skinned, four-meter-long insect-like monster appeared. Its appearance was like a tree stump covered with algae, with ten claws and round teeth. saw.

It stretched out two long, rough green claws covered with spikes like the forelimbs of a praying mantis, grabbed a Redanian soldier who was climbing up, and dragged him into the water in the blink of an eye.

The people on the deck who saw all this screamed like they were possessed. It was the monster that hit the bottom of the ship like a rock before. They couldn't imagine that they were in the same waters as this monster.

Only Xia Ni seems to have gained a sense of security from Lan En. Not only is she not afraid, but her eyes are even bright: "It's an arthropod! Insects, it looks like it might be an amphipoda! Megagnathia!"

Lan En said solemnly: "This is the dragonfly monster."

The captain of the Redania squad lying on the deck was ashen-faced. He quietly approached a Cintra soldier, and then fell to the ground to pretend to be a prisoner again, but was hit hard on the face by a fist wearing an iron gauntlet. On the door, the corners of the nose, mouth, eyebrows and eyes blossomed together.
