From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 201 Is This Also a Griffin's Trick?

Henselt was still in shock, and seemed to have just come back to his senses at this moment, and shouted angrily: "Lannister!"

"You let these Scoia'tael go without killing a single elf! All my bodyguards are dead, so this is the only result?!"

Lan En panted heavily and looked over coldly. Although there was not much blood on his body, he carried the aura of showing off his might just now.

Henselt immediately seemed to have been cut off at the throat, and couldn't help taking a step back.

And Mi Wei was even more unceremonious after hearing Henselt's accusation: "Enough, Henselt! He fought ten elf assassins for you alone, one sword against ten swords, he saved your life! What else do you want?"

At this moment, other kings also slowly stepped out from behind the protection of the knights.

"Twelve weapons," lamented King Demawi of Aedirn. "Never have I seen such a swordsman, nor such a reliable ally."

Henselt groaned a few times and fell silent.

Lann withdrew his gaze, adjusted his breathing and looked outside the fortress. He was seeing flames and strong winds on the edge of the forest not far away. From time to time, there were explosions of alchemy bombs and flashes of broken golden light.

That was the direction of the ancient deer head spirit, and it was also the direction where Lei Suo and the others were heading.

Lann turned around with his long sword in hand and walked away. The reddish-brown griffin cloak rattled violently in the evening wind, and the knights surrounding him spontaneously made way for him.

"Lan, where are you going?"

"Keep helping! None of these monsters will leave here alive tonight!"

…………

…………

Not long after humans came to this continent, they discovered that there was a magical creature in the primeval forest.Live by its side, no matter how ferocious beasts will become docile, and all the fruits will become full.

Over time, the creature became the center of local beliefs in some places.Farmers who live near their woods offer them sacrifices, usually rabbits or birds, but human blood has also been heard.

This kind of creature is called the woodland leprechaun, and it also has a more well-known name-【Deer Head Spirit】.

The classification belongs to [Remnants].

In many legends, the deer head spirit is a kind character, helping lost travelers find their way in the forest, or rescuing them from bandits.Unfortunately, this legend has no basis in reality.In fact, human beings are only a source of energy in the eyes of Lu Shoujing, no different from other animals.A deer's head will suck the life force out of nearby humans until nothing remains but a husk.

When human beings enshrine the deer head spirits as "gods", the deer head spirits are also raising them in captivity.

However, as humans gradually explored the forest, their respect for the unknown diminished accordingly.Humans gathered wood, built stone dwellings, and multiplied like a plague, thereby angering the forest and its inhabitants.

As a result, "God" has become a "remnant" among monsters.

Of course, in some places far from civilization, there are still villages that maintain ancient beliefs.The ancient gods who feed the forest day after day.

And these deer head spirits that have survived since ancient times will also accumulate extremely terrifying power because of this, and monster scholars have even created a new category for them——[ancient deer head spirit].

They have innate magical abilities and can heal and control crows, wolves, and even small monsters like evil ghosts and ghouls; they can create magic totems around their territories, and strengthen themselves like a warlock builds a mage tower They are also capable of leaving black magic curses on humans, and rebirth from the cursed people after death.

The monster in front of everyone is an old ancient deer head spirit.

It is said that the ancient deer head spirit rarely left its territory.How did the Scoia'tael do it?

They dispatched half of the people, killed all the lives in the forest that might be the resurrection seeds of the ancient deer head spirit, destroyed all the magic totems of the ancient deer head spirit, and destroyed the water sources and plants in the opponent's territory as much as possible.

The ancient monsters therefore persisted in their pursuit.

Good news: it has now been led out of its territory by Scoia'tael, destroyed the totem, and its power has been weakened to a certain extent.

Bad news: it's angry now.

Bad news two: It's not just it that's angry.

There was a sound in the sky, and a knight wearing a unicorn coat of arms drew his bowstring towards the night sky.However, to his surprise, a large flock of crows that looked like dark clouds came oncoming!
Even a whole bow and arrow team could only be blinded in the face of this situation. The knight shot an arrow in vain and penetrated the bodies of two crows.Then he was carried away by the dark cloud of the crow, and smashed into the soil hard, falling to pieces.

When he was about to call for help, the steel mask was suddenly lifted off by a few claws.

Crows are extremely intelligent, not inferior to uneducated children.Not to mention that they are controlled by older and wiser beings, and they are not helpless in the face of the enemies hiding in the iron cans.

The knight uttered a terrifying scream, and was immediately gagged again. After a few breaths of "woo woo", he stopped struggling.

The crow fluttered away from the knight's corpse, and a group of ghouls and wolves pounced on to tear the rare human flesh.They refused to give in to each other, staring at each other, and they were about to bite in the middle of this battlefield.

"Boom—"

It seemed that the sound of a thousand-year-old tree falling to the ground resounded in the battlefield, and the source of that sound was the ancient deer head spirit.With the body of a monster, he made the sound of a natural disaster.

In this dull and loud sound, the beasts and monsters bared their teeth at each other, like soldiers who heard the horn, suddenly stopped fighting, turned around and immediately rejoined the battlefield, rushing towards humans.

In the frontline battlefield where these monsters were fighting hand-to-hand, the people on Sintra's side hung far behind, forming a stark contrast with these panicked soldiers.

In groups of three or five, they used bows and arrows to deal with charging monsters from a distance, or tacitly cooperated to slaughter wild wolves without even getting much blood on their bodies.

"How long do you think it will take for them to react and form a formation to kill that ancient deer head spirit?"

Hearing Colgrim's question, Leto thought for a while: "It won't be long, these monsters just caught an army by surprise. There will be a lot of casualties, but they will definitely not collapse. I am more worried about this ancient The deer head spirit will beat half of them and run away."

Milva frowned when he heard the words: "It is the prey that the Earl named, it must not run away!"

The female archer grabbed the mahogany bow that was as long as her own height, and her body strengthened by the [Follower] system exploded with amazing strength.

The sound of the "cracking" bowstring clearly reached the ears of all the demon hunters. Although they couldn't draw the full string like Lann, the momentum was terrifying enough.

"Is this still human strength? This arm is filled with beef tendons, right?" Colgrim muttered.

Milva was exerting force almost all over his body.To make it easier to open the bow, she only has the armguard wrapped around her left arm, and the leather wrench is wrapped around her right thumb, leaving her two arms exposed. The slender and strong lines on them are clearly visible, like a female leopard.

That body shape is rare among female warriors, but no matter how you look at it, it is not a body that can draw a bow and arrow of this pound.

"Forget about Lan, why are his attendants so abnormal?"

The bow will not recognize that its owner is abnormal, as long as it has enough strength, it will shoot arrows.

The distance of a hundred steps is fleeting, and the special arrow shaft bears huge kinetic energy and swims forward in the air like a barracuda, but then it seems to hit a rock wall and shatter completely.

The ancient deer head spirit lowered its head in a very anthropomorphic manner, and pulled out the half-buried steel arrowhead from its chest and threw it aside, the wound on its wooden body healed in an instant.

"What's the matter, another immortal body? Why do you keep meeting such opponents recently?" Mirva frowned tightly, drew his bow and put another arrow, "I don't know if it's okay to shoot the head, it looks like Made of bones..."

Lei Suo put his hand on Milva's bow handle, and shook his head at the female archer's puzzled eyes.

"The ancient deer head spirit cannot be injured by steel. Only our special [residue oil] or silver sword can effectively attack it, or you can also have a magic-blocking golden arrow."

Milva showed an absurd expression: "How can I have such a precious thing?"

Lei Suo handed over a bottle of sword oil and asked Milva to apply it on the arrows: "I know that Lann has special anti-demon gold arrows, and your archery skills are also worthy of equipment. You can ask Lann for it, And show the corresponding strength. With his character, he will definitely not be stingy with giving you, and even praise you, so don't underestimate yourself."

Milva was taken aback: "Really? Your lord...will not reject me?"

Lei Suo showed a strange expression: "I mean the magic-blocking golden arrow..."

Shaking his head and ignoring the female archer who was in deep thought, Lei Suo turned to greet the demon hunters of the Snake Sect: "The monsters brought out by the ancient deer head spirit have been almost wiped out by the army, let's go!"

"Good!" *3.

The demon hunters drew out their silver swords that had already been smeared with sword oil and poison, and they moved like snakes between the gaps between the Kaedweni soldiers, approaching the ancient stag-headed demon silently.It's just that the soldiers didn't dare to get close to the ancient deer head spirit, which stood upright and stood more than four meters tall. They just used bows and arrows from a distance to test it without pain, and the demon hunters would soon have to be exposed to the enemy's eyes.

Before everyone in the Snake Sect wanted to use tactics to approach the enemy, they saw a flash of green light in front of them, and the figure of the ancient deer head spirit suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few tangled roots in place.

"not good!"

The demon hunters, who are familiar with the habits of monsters, sounded the alarm for a moment, and raised their hands at the same time without hesitation to add a layer of [Quen's Seal] to themselves, and then frantically stimulated their demon hunter senses, looking for the ghost in the air. clues.

Suddenly, Colgrim felt his heart skip a beat.

"spread!"

Colgrim yelled frantically, then without hesitation bumped away a soldier who was in the way, and threw himself in front of him recklessly.

Before the Kaedweni soldier could swear, "Damn witcher", there was a palpitating vibration on the ground where he was lying on the next second.The roots thicker than a human being were stimulated by magic to break out of the ground at a growth rate tens of thousands of times faster than in nature, and easily drilled the Kaedweni soldiers into gourds like clay figurines.

Among the crowd, a huge ancient deer head spirit appeared in a burst of green light, looking up to the sky and screaming.

"Boom—"

The human soldiers were startled when they saw this. They might have the courage to face an enemy that outnumbered them, but when a monster several times their size stood in front of them, their ignorant courage was immediately shattered.

The established team collapsed immediately, and the blood gourd-like corpses of their comrades stimulated their nerves even more.There were only a few desperate warriors wielding their swords and slashing at the body of the ancient deer head spirit, but they could only create a few scratches on the old tree-like body, which disappeared in an instant.

Then I saw the ancient deer head spirit stomp its feet like a rock collapse, and countless knotted tree roots shot out from the ground again, turning the dozen or so soldiers around it into nutrients for the plants.

The soldiers who were not attacked by the roots immediately dispersed when they saw this.

The ancient deer's head spirit no longer cared about these little people, and turned to face Colgrim who had just escaped.

However, the monster didn't notice that among the scattered human soldiers, a burly figure shuttled through the crowd at an unreasonable speed.

With a "swipe", Lei Suo's snake-style poisonous silver sword that Lei Suo had just obtained pierced through the back of the ancient deer head spirit, and it felt as if it had been chopped on a piece of frozen meat that had just begun to thaw.

Although it was difficult, it was cut in!Green smoke like a burning iron quickly floated out from the wound of the ancient deer head essence, which is the effect of [residual oil].

Immediately afterwards, the body began to turn black and rot again from the place where it was cut open, and began to wither slightly like rotten wood in a swamp.

It is poison, and it comes from the super enchanting effect of the master-level silver sword [Snake School Poisonous Silver Sword]. Even monsters like the ancient deer head spirit cannot be spared.

Such a blow was enough for Lei Suo to retreat. He kicked the ancient deer's head spirit fiercely, using the reaction force to avoid the huge enemy's swing in the air with a dexterity that did not match his size. The palm that came over jumped ten meters away after a few ups and downs.

After landing, he also dropped a pull ring.That's the pull ring of [Blockbuster Bomb].

With a sound of "boom", the green metal powder immediately surrounded the ancient deer head essence, suppressing the same green magical energy that appeared on its body surface.

It's just that Lei Suo, who had been fighting in the team for a long time, didn't consider the environment he was in now. He ran away, but more Kaedwen soldiers began to face the indiscriminate anger of the ancient deer head spirit.The ancient deer head spirit without magical ability still has a size comparable to a little giant and a body that is invulnerable to steel, and it can still set off a bloody storm among the crowd.

Of course, Lei Suo might not care too much about it.

"Use fire! This monster is not afraid of iron, use fire!"

Oakes shouted in the crowd, not only to give these soldiers a reminder to protect themselves, but also to hope that they can help him a little bit.Among the crowd, the demon hunters were also restricted from using the [Igni Sign] and [Alder Sign] range of signs.

Hearing the prompt from the Snake Sect Demon Hunter, immediately there were quick-reacting soldiers holding up their torches and trying to rush forward.However, accompanied by a disturbing scream, the seemingly inexhaustible crow appeared from the sky again, and rushed towards the soldier recklessly, throwing the soldier to the ground immediately, and dropping the torch immediately.

"Whoosh-"

However, an arrow crossed the battlefield again, and seized the opportunity to precisely let the arrow go out from the torch. The arrow smeared with thick sword oil was instantly ignited, and a red arc track was drawn in midair, ruthlessly It was firmly nailed to the right side of the neck of the ancient deer head spirit.

Seeing that the blow worked, the heroic female archer took out arrows from her backpack while moving her position.

Colgrim's eyes suddenly lit up, and he yelled at Milva to attract her attention. He also ran quickly along the crowd, then pinched with his left hand, and hit the [Igni Sign] towards the sky.

Milva immediately understood the meaning of the Snake Demon Hunter.Although there was no prior rehearsal, the two who had had several battles as a running-in also showed an amazing tacit understanding.

A second cluster of cone-shaped flames soon lit up in the dark night, as if someone had set off a big firework.And one after another sharp arrows pierced through the flames and rushed out, allowing the body of the ancient deer head spirit to light up the night.

The body of the ancient deer head essence is very cooperative and keeps making "dong" and "dong" sounds, and takes a step back every time it eats an arrow.

After ten arrows, Milwa shook his fingers that were sore from drawing the strong bow at high speed.On the other hand, the ancient deer head essence, at this moment, less than half of its body is already lit with flames, and the flames are connected to form a line, which will soon turn into a flame.

"Boom—"

The burning of the flames finally completely broke the defenses of the ancient deer head spirit, which had always been carrying a deep and oppressive temperament. It raised its head to the sky and screamed, and immediately summoned a crow like a dark cloud.These big birds desperately used their feathers, wings, and even their entire bodies to extinguish the fire on the ancient deer's head spirit, and quickly extinguished the flames ignited by the cooperation of Milva and the demon hunter.

Seeing this, the female archer gritted her back teeth angrily, flicked her fingers and was about to draw the bow again, but suddenly felt a bloody wind pave the way.

Turning his head to look, it turned out that a group of more than a dozen forest wolves rushed towards him.

In order to effectively snipe the ancient deer head spirit, Milva sought a wider view and unknowingly left the team and walked to the front.Seeing this, House and other teammates wanted to step forward to clear Milva, but either they were too far away, or they were blocked by other beasts that suddenly appeared.

At the critical moment, a black whirlwind blew across the battlefield.

It ran over the group of forest wolves like a chariot, and the amber eyes of the beast shone with excitement.

That's not a black whirlwind, that's a black wind.

Without Lan's leadership, it also ran out with the Sintra team by itself, freely charging and trampling and killing many wild beasts and small monsters all the way.

But the horse still has a high IQ, and more beasts surrounded me under the command of the ancient deer head spirit. It bit the quiver on Milva's back, and picked up the female archer like a chicken. , ran away.

The group of beasts and monsters really let it run away recklessly, and none of them could catch up.

"The Earl's mount..." Mirva murmured ecstatically, "It's protecting me..."

The female archer took a breath in confusion, but quickly reacted.Her body hanging in mid-air deftly turned over and hugged Heifeng's neck, shouting excitedly:

"Hei Feng, run more steadily, let me sit on your back and shoot a few more arrows! With your speed, no other monster can catch up, and you will be able to put it... ahhhhh!!"

However, before Milva finished speaking, he heard a sudden burst of screaming.It turned out that Heifeng suddenly made a sharp turn and drifted laterally at an astonishingly high speed, throwing Milva directly out.

The female archer flew in the direction of Sintra's cavalry, and was quickly caught by her comrades.

Hei Feng snorted disdainfully, and suddenly felt a familiar feeling welling up in his heart.

With a clear understanding in his heart, the witcher horse suddenly charged towards the ancient deer head spirit.And as its speed became faster and faster, an invisible magic wave suddenly spread from its body.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "buzz", and a bright emerald light flashed on Heifeng's back, condensing into the shape of a knight within one breath.As the stars on the surface dispersed, Lann's figure appeared on the battlefield.

【Transmission】

Colgrim's eyes widened in disbelief, and was once again shocked by the griffin: "What new trick is this?"

Of course they were complaining. Seeing the most powerful Griffin Demon Hunter in France, Colgrim and all the Serpent Demon Hunters knew that the decisive battle was coming, and they all surrounded the ancient deer head.

At this time, the human soldiers around the ancient deer head spirit had almost run away, leaving an open space again.

Lan patted Heifeng's neck. The relationship between the two was no longer a simple "tacit understanding" that could be summed up. In an instant, Heifeng understood the master's thoughts.

It was another high-speed super-sharp drift, and Lan was thrown towards the ancient deer head spirit like a cannonball by a war horse!
The ancient deer head spirit is not angry but happy, this is simply a good target!There are still remnants of the magic-blocking gold powder attached to its body surface, and there is no way to use magic, but the palm the size of a carriage is definitely not something ordinary people can touch!
However, Lan didn't give the ancient deer head spirit a chance to collide. Just when the palm that was similar to his body was about to cover him, the world in his eyes suddenly slowed down.

It's not the exaggerated time stillness like the mirror master, but the slowness as if someone has ordered 0.1 times the speed.

The cavalrymen of Sintra, startled by Rann's reckless behavior, were screaming, their tongues trembling in the air; Approaching inch by inch, Lan could even see the anti-diacritic gold powder shaking from above.

Lan's movements were also slowed down. He couldn't swing his sword or use his seal, but kept the posture of being thrown.

But his thinking is normal.

The dark golden pupils are now rendered into a bright emerald color with mixed energy, and it seems that energy will burst out in the next second.And in his field of vision, a circle centered on him spread out towards the surroundings, which were all places he could reach with a single thought.

【flashing】

With a "buzz", Lann turned into a light spot in mid-air and disappeared like a picture erased by an eraser.The giant palm of the ancient deer head spirit shattered the air and light spots, but held nothing.

The monster lowered its head in doubt, but did not see a figure appearing behind him and slapping the ground fiercely, and then a purple magic circle rose around him.

【Yarden Seal】!
The body blackened by the poisonous silver sword and flames of the Snake School was dyed a new color again, and the ancient deer head spirit shimmering in purple light sensed that the enemy turned around and attacked.However, it was the only one slowed down this time, and Lan easily jumped back out of its attack range.

With a "crack", the purple magic lightning staggered it, smashing the tender shoots on its shoulders and the human skull together.

Then Lann deliberately avoided the direction of the human army, raised his left hand flat, and pinched out the seal.

【Igni Seal·Magic Explosion】!
The huge amount of flames, like a dragon of fire, suddenly devoured the wild god in the forest.The surging heat flow was recovered and swirled in the air to form a huge flame tornado.

The snake demon hunters also seized the opportunity to surround them, raising their four left hands together.

【Alder Seal】*4!

The fire took advantage of the wind to make the flame tornado even more ferocious.

"Ugh-"

Seeing the bravery of the Earl, the Sintra cavalry also launched a general attack. They rode their horses forward and circled the flame tornado from a distance and began to throw arrows inward continuously. They used the horse's stampede and sword to kill the beast along the way.

Until a certain moment, those ferocious beasts and monsters suddenly regained their sanity and fled towards the depths of the forest in a panic.

Lane knew that this battle was won.
