From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 182 Riens must die, I said so!
In the past few days, Lan has been relying on Triss' crow magic and the dual positioning of the eternal flame to monitor the enemy and find out the enemy's position.

And his primary goal is-Rins.

This warlock who had escaped from his hands once, Lane would never give him another chance to escape this time.

Although his own strength and quality are not very good, behind him is the dual support of Vigfortez and Emperor Nilfgaard.This time it was due to Colgrim's presence, but Lann might not be so lucky next time.

So, Riens, this time you must die!

As for Ogierd, Lan was not in such a hurry.But since the two of them are together, let's deal with it together, which will save trouble.

After all, it's all here.

"I'll deal with that warlock in a while. It's too dangerous to let a spellcaster concentrate on chanting spells in the rear on the battlefield."

On the way, Lane began to assign their own tasks.

"House, you will lead the charge of the cavalry, Levin will be the deputy, and Milva will be the cover."

The three servants nodded.

Lan finally turned to the burly snake demon hunter: "Leso, Ogierd is on your leave. He once made a deal with the devil through [Magic Summoning] and thus gained immortality, which is very difficult to deal with. You just need to temporarily hold him back, and I'll come and help you after I've dealt with the warlock."

"I've seen the Immortal Body, but I don't know what level of 'Immortal Body' he is." Lei Suo was expressionless, as if he was not sure whether he should draw the steel sword or the silver sword, "I will try it Try him, maybe you won't even need to take action for a while."

Lane grinned: "I'm looking forward to it."

At this time, the enemies ahead had already appeared, and they were obviously ready to fight.

"Sintra——" Lan held up the Sword of the Lady of the Lake. The rune sword, which had already stacked a lot of damage layers, was still shining brightly in the daytime, making him seem to be holding a torch, "Charge!"

"For Cintra, for Lannister!"

The cavalry raised their lances high and charged towards the wild boar army with a majestic momentum like a landslide.

The silver and black-gray torrents collided with a loud noise.

Lann and Lei Suo pinched their left hands at the same time, and an invisible wave gathered in their palms.

【Alder Seal】!
The two strands of thought power merged together like the confluence of ocean currents, slamming into the enemy's formation brutally.

One is the demon hunter of the Griffin School who has awakened the blood of the ancients, and the other is the current leader of the Viper School. The power of the two seals cannot be estimated by ordinary demon hunters. Amazing power erupted!
The few cavalrymen at the front of the wild boar army seemed to have hit the wall of a storm head-on, and flew out of their horses without any resistance, and were trampled into flesh by their companions behind.

The Wild Boar Army's cavalry phalanx, which was barely in order, suddenly became agitated.

The charge of the cavalry requires the soldiers at the front to be used as sharp knives to tear through the enemy's defense. It depends on which side of the two sides has the harder and sharper knives.

And the joint attack of Lann and Lei Suo's [Alder Seal] is equivalent to using a hammer to smash the enemy's knife point first!
The war horse under Lei Suo's crotch couldn't bear the huge reaction force, and his steps were slightly messy, lagging behind Lann by a body.

On the other hand, Black Wind's huge pupils lit up.Steel, horseshoes, swords, and the coming blood all make the blood of this horse with the [War Frenzy] skill boil.

Lan En patted his chest with his left hand, [Quen's Sign] upper body.

Then he took the lead and crashed into the enemy's messy cavalry front line amidst the excited neighing of the black wind.

"The Earl has already tore open the shell of the enemy for us!"

House shouted loudly, and the lion badge on the left breastplate seemed to roar together: "Cintra cavalry, follow Lannister to the death!"

"charge!"

One by one, the lances smashed into the formation of the wild boar army like meteors.

Compared with last time, the Wild Boar Army was at least fully equipped, but most of them only wore leather armor and scimitars, so they couldn't resist a charge of this level at all.

The soldiers in front of them were like a canoe full of rudders heading towards the reef, and they were smashed to pieces in a blink of an eye, which kicked off the knight's hedging.

There was an astonishing reaction force on his arm, and House felt that his lance smashed a man and a horse's head. The strict cavalry training made him decisively abandon the gun and draw the sword, and then he saw a figure rushing towards him come over.

"For the Chief!"

It turned out to be a cavalryman of the Wild Boar Army. Relying on their skilled cavalry skills, they leaped from their horses, roaring wildly in the air while waving their scimitars and rushing towards them.

This unprecedented cavalry tactics made House unable to react in time, and was accidentally pulled off his horse by the enemy.

The back hit the ground heavily, and the chest pressed the enemy.House, who was passively used as a backing board, was short of breath for a while, but the body strengthened by the [Follower] panel allowed him to pull out the long sword with a superhuman reaction speed, and he regained consciousness one step ahead of the enemy who was pressing on him.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the heads of the wild boar army shot up into the sky with a column of blood.

House looked around in the chaos, and found that many Sintra cavalry were as good as himself. He now understands why these wild boar soldiers have the courage to wear light armor to hedge against them.

"咻", "咻", "咻" arrows and arrows crossed the battlefield one after another, and the ear-piercing sound of "boom" and "boom" would take away the life of a wild boar army every time it sounded. The Sintra soldiers who were attacked were rescued.

"Steady!" House growled, "they're no match for the Nilfgaardians!"

…………

On the other side, Lan was running over the formation of the Wild Boar Army like a gust of black wind.

Some wild boar army wanted to urge their horses forward, but those horses actually showed hesitation amidst the neighing of the black wind.The man who was forced to come forward was also torn and bitten by the manic demon hunting horse. He was so startled that he stood upright, but turned upside down and crushed the warrior on his back to the ground.

There were also enemies who wanted to do the same thing and throw Lann to the ground, thinking that the Earl Lion, who was surrounded by himself, would be trampled into a hemp ball by the horses and armor behind him in an instant.

But the blond knight seemed to have eyes behind him, and the rune sword in his hand was faster than the wind.

Those soldiers who jumped over only felt an arc of light flashing across their eyes, the direction of their body movement changed, and their consciousness was taken away by the spray of blood.

"Lannister!" Ogierd's eyes lit up, waving a scimitar and galloping towards Lann.

The wild boars spontaneously made room for the chief.

The last Everec confronted the last Lannister. After the founding hero of Redania, he swung a scimitar and even pulled out a dazzling arc of light in midair.

It was red light, the color of blood, the color of anger, and the color of hatred.

"Chong-"

The golden rune sword and the red scimitar collided in mid-air, and the ear-piercing sound of steel tearing caused the surrounding wild boar army to take another two steps back.

Lan En's right hand trembled violently. The collision was a dead end, and the strength of the person on the opposite side was comparable to his own.

Ogierd's palm was dyed red in an instant, and his force was more unscrupulous than Lann's. The tiger's mouth was torn apart the moment it met Lann's sword, and when the two swords separated, they waved their arms to buffer Heal again when you are strong.

The smile on his face deepened.

Knife and sword are close in the first round, but knights fight more than just knights.

Heifeng Chuli was furious.

As the leader of the wild boar army, Ogierd's horse is the best. It can be said to be the only horse on the battlefield that dares to charge towards Lann with its master on its back.And this is a mistake.

So in the next breath when the swords collided, the two horses also collided.

At that moment, Ogierd's mount made a crackling sound of bones, and retreated back and forth with a mournful cry, with blood continuously flowing from its ears and eyes.

And Heifeng just shook his head slightly, snorted disdainfully, and then accelerated again.

The pair of amber eyes that looked like a cat-like carnivore lit up, and Heifeng actually bit the neck of the opposing horse with one bite!

The large and flat incisors and molars failed to tear off the enemy horse's throat, but they also sank deeply into the opponent's body. From Lane's perspective, it could even be seen that the entire horse's neck was flattened like a flattened bread down.The throat, muscles, and bones inside must have been twisted into a ball at this time.

The black gust of wind rolled the head of the enemy horse in, and he clenched his teeth and took it out for three or four steps before letting go.Ogierd swayed on the horse's back for a while, unable to grasp the center of gravity, and could only abandon the horse and jump out to rush towards Lann.

He was greeted by a left hand pinching a strange gesture.

There is another indifferent sentence:
"I don't have time to make trouble with you now, I'll clean you up later."

【Alder Seal】!
The impact of the mind force was like a heavy hammer in the air, smashing Ogierd directly to the blood spurting wildly, and flew out like a broken sack for an unknown distance before hitting the ground again.

He was even trampled hard by his own horse a few times, like the crisp sound of a plank being broken.

"Don't run, Lannister!"

Ogierd violently twisted twice on the ground, and the injury on his body recovered within a few breaths.

He got up with a roar, but was chopped off half of his neck by the sword light that came from nowhere, and his head was turned directly behind him, leaving only a layer of flesh dangling to connect.

His vision was spinning, and Ogierd was in a daze for two seconds, before reacting quickly.He roughly grabbed his hair with his right hand, and slipped back to the right position.

Pressing the seam of the neck to let the flesh and blood begin to grow again, Ogierd looked at the sturdy bald head that suddenly appeared in front of him.At first glance, the person on the opposite side is more than a head taller than him. This is a person who can be regarded as a strong enemy visually.

Lei Suo looked at Ogierd's squirming neck, thought for a while and put the steel sword back into its sheath, then pulled out the silver sword decorated with snake head carvings.

"For something like you, sword oil like [Poison of the Hanged Man] probably won't work on people." Lei Suo said coldly, "Let me see how much your 'undead body' really is." Don't die."

…………

Without Ogierd's obstruction, Lan drove the black wind and once again galloped through the crowd.

In just two more breaths, he completely pierced through the enemy's formation, and his field of vision was wide open, and he saw no other cavalry.

Except for a grotesque man in iron armor, but not worthy of a sword.

Rins.

At this moment, the other party was chanting words, and the air around him was constantly being compressed and twisted.

I have killed the enemy and stood in front of him, but this person is still accumulating magic spells here?

Without the slightest hesitation, Lann flicked his left hand, and took out the crossbow that he had already wound up from the 【Inventory Bar】.

With a sound of "whoosh", the arrow flew away.

Reins apparently also saw the blond knight rushing out of the crowd, and hastened to speed up his chanting.

The distorted beam of energy immediately slanted towards Lann and Heifeng, and the arrow that was fired was also wrapped in it.

But in Liens' surprised eyes, it seemed that the arrow was only blown by the wind, without even shaking, and continued to shoot towards him.

Demon-Blocking Golden Arrow——The care of Geron, the great master of the Griffin School.

Milva's talent of [Sharp Archer] raised Lann's archery skills to the point where it was no less than that of a sword. With a yell, Reins turned over and fell off the horse, and a thin arrow had been dug into the iron armor on his chest.

Armor saved his life.The crossbow is easy to fire, but its strength is not as strong as that of a heavy-pound bow.

Hei Feng charged and knocked the opponent's horse into the air. Lan took advantage of the momentum and jumped off, falling from the sky towards Liens.

The warlock pulled out the magic-blocking gold arrow, and rolled two embarrassingly on the ground to escape Lan's pursuit.This person's escape is really skillful.

He got up from the ground, rolling and crawling, and began to mutter words again.

"Riens, I love your new leg, it's magical. Have you thought about getting another one like this?"

Lann made a provocative loud voice, causing Reans' artificial leg to stagger, and the half-recited magic spell in his mouth suddenly became unstable again.

Warlock raised his head angrily, and saw a huge black shadow attacking him.

It's that strange Lannister horse!
With a "boom", the blue protective cover was propped up, and Liens was shocked, the force of the impact was no less than that of a brown bear!
And Heifeng's head just shook.Reluctantly, he raised his hoof and smashed it up again, forcing Liens to hold on to the protective shield in place and unable to move. At the same time, he raised his left hand, and the light flickered.

Seeing that Liens' hand began to flash with lightning, Lan hurriedly rushed towards the enemy, but Black Wind couldn't hold on to this.

The Lake Lady's Sword is a magical weapon with runes on it, so it is naturally not mixed with magic-resistant gold as a material.Therefore, when facing enemy warlocks, Lann had to change his equipment instead.

With a flick of his left hand, Lann took out the [Extreme Griffin Silver Sword] from the [Item Bar], and poured his strength on his protective cover with the force of breaking Huashan in the terrified eyes of Reins.

With a "boom", the blue shield shattered.

With a "crack", Reins turned around and struck the lightning on Lan En's body, the [Quen Seal] shattered, and Lan flew upside down.

Finally, with a "bang", Heifeng broke through the barrier of the protective shield, and knocked Reigns out in Lann's direction with satisfaction.

With the seal of protection, Lan was not harmed at all.He dexterously adjusted his posture in mid-air, landed safely, and walked towards Liens in a leisurely manner. He slapped the ground with his left hand and placed a [Sign of Arden].

The purple magic circle completely enveloped the warlock, completely eliminating the possibility of the opponent escaping.

Liens kept spitting blood from his mouth, and it seemed that he didn't have the strength to continue chanting the spell.

The iron armor on the opponent's body has been completely dented, and there must be broken bones inside.After all, it was Black Wind's head hammer, and Lan himself didn't dare to take it hard, let alone a warlock.

"I thought about it, and suddenly felt that one iron leg is enough, it would be better to replace it with a new iron head, what do you think?"

Lann approached Reins step by step, seeing the other party struggling but unable to stand up, his eyes froze with coldness.

"Don't...kill me." Reigns spoke intermittently under the dual effects of the slowness of the magic circle and the serious injury of his body, "I can, tell you who is behind me."

"Not only, not only Nilfgaard, but also..."

Before Reins could speak, the griffin emblem on Lane's neck suddenly started to vibrate.

The lion's pupils shrank suddenly, a familiar feeling, familiar chaotic energy fluctuations.

There must be some kind of magic device or other monitoring equipment on Liens' body, which can allow the people behind him to control his situation in real time, which is why the black hands behind the scenes were able to take away Liens so accurately last time.

There was a strong wind.The familiar portal opens again at this moment.Even though it was daytime, there was also a dazzling light, and the bright red was even a bit dazzling for a while.

But Lan En is no longer what it used to be. Although they have only been separated for a short month, his strength has already improved qualitatively.

On the edge of the [Yarden Seal] surrounding Rins, an hourglass-shaped magic rune suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a beam of purple magic beams slanted across like lightning.

With a "bang", the chaotic energy maintaining the portal suddenly turned into real chaos, dissipating invisible in a burst of distortion.

That's right, [Arden's Sign] is the only way for players to deal with portals in the original game, except for the magic gold bomb!
And Lan En, who was almost powerless to fight back, still opened the seal seemingly superfluously, just to prevent the person behind him from taking Liens away.

No one can take Liens away today, Lane said.

To be on the safe side, Lane slapped the ground with his left hand again, and released another purple magic circle, superimposed two by two, double insurance.

Also at the same time, another new portal appeared in midair along with the strong wind, and then dissipated with a sound like an electric shock.

The time for this portal to form is not enough for a person to pass through, or even to send a little energy over.

Fully automatic magic fort, who knows who uses it!

Liens was full of despair. He knew that even the people behind him could not save him today.

The purple brilliance covered the whole body, and the warlock moved back little by little with slow movements, begging: "Don't kill me... Believe me, you will never know who the person behind me is, what a terrible person that is. As long as If you don't kill me, I'll tell you."

How could Lan have asked Reans to say that person's name?I already knew that Ace was still lurking in the opponent's hands.

"Hush." ​​Lan put his index finger up on his lips, and said softly, "I don't want to know, and you don't need to say it. The identity of the other party is not important to me, but without you—it is very important to me."

The portals in mid-air kept appearing, and they were constantly shattered by [Yarden's Sign]. From time to time, strong winds blew and explosions sounded, each sound resounded in Liens' heart.

"Did you know that the time you and Philippa had in Niubao...was the biggest loss I've suffered since I debuted." Lan En said coldly, "Philippa is still useful for the time being, so I will let her go. .As for you..."

Lan took a deep breath and raised the rune sword: "I will try not to let myself enjoy this process too much."

The golden light on the rune long sword shone, and the ground under his feet was stained red with blood.

The person behind the portal felt something, and finally stopped showing up.

Heifeng ran over in small steps and gave Lane a hug with his head.

Lann waved Liens' body into the [item bar], stroked Heifeng's mane, and got on his horse.

After all, his own people are still fighting against the enemy. As the leader, he can't waste too much time, so he can only take advantage of this evil warlock.

The horse under his crotch turned into a gust of wind and returned to the battlefield again. The anger in Lann's heart was not vented by Rins' death. At this moment, all the anger was directed at the wild boar army.

However, these enemies themselves have been almost wiped out by Sintra's cavalry. They were indeed caught off guard by the tactics of these wild boar soldiers at first, but their rich combat experience made them quickly adjust.

Coupled with the support of the three servants who surpassed ordinary people in battle, especially Milva's long-range support that could cover the entire battlefield, the balance of the battle had long been tilted towards Lann's side.

Lann charged through the crowd for a while, coordinating with Heifeng's sprint, smashing the last horse on the field to pieces, and knocking the wild boar cavalry on his back into the air.Soon, Sintra cavalry came up to make up for the knife.

On the battlefield, there was only one Ogierd left.

This man has seven or eight long swords stuck in his body at this moment, and the weight of these steels can't even interfere with his actions. He still slams left and right among the crowd, knocking the shields of the cavalry in the front row into a "clang clang" sound. .

If it weren't for the delay and Lei Suo's help from the three servants, the Sintra cavalry would have suffered heavy losses long ago.

Lane also noticed that there was a steady stream of black mist appearing on Ogild's body. He didn't know whether it was the black magic power he taught himself or the by-product of the power given by the mirror master.

Milva tentatively shot an arrow at Ogierd, which precisely pierced through the opponent's throat.This fatal injury only caused the opponent to shake twice, and he pulled out the arrow with his backhand.

Seeing this scene, the female archer frowned.

"Lannister, come out and face me!"

Lan pushed away the soldiers who were like a cage of beasts and walked to the middle.

The bald-headed demon hunter was at the front, and the [Quen Seal] had long since disappeared. His leather armor was damaged in many places, and some bloodstains appeared on his exposed arms.

Seeing the dignified expression on Lei Suo's cold face, Lan En asked with a chuckle, "How is it?"

"Unbelievable." Lei Suo admitted generously, "I tried all kinds of swords, seals, poisons, and various sword oils, but almost all of them didn't work. And he is tireless and painless. I can suppress him, but it doesn't work." I can't kill him, this is the last kind of enemy I want to meet. Fortunately, he is only a human being, if any monster has this ability, I am afraid that it will not be able to slaughter a small country in one day."
