From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 232 The First Shaking Battle

"Be careful!!!"

Easter yelled in horror at Crazy Lugo and Hogg Blackhand.

Immediately afterwards, a roar loud enough to overwhelm all other sounds sounded in the formation of soldiers.

I saw those Skellige youths who were rescued by the lunatic Lugo and Hogg Blackhand covering their heads in pain, as if thunder echoed repeatedly in their ears.

They screamed, they rolled on the ground, they screamed in the crowd.

In East's ears, their roars changed from human voices to beast roars within two breaths; in East's eyes, their figures began to expand rapidly in the blink of an eye, and finally became In the shape of a beast—

That's the Skellige bear!

……

In the face of wild beasts, human beings rely on equipment, numbers, and wisdom. If they rely on tacit cooperation, the connection of various weapons from far and near, the design of various traps, and mental arithmetic and unintentional strategies, experienced hunter teams can also try to hunt giants. Bear.

It's just an attempt, and the dangers involved are still not humane - so once a hunter successfully hunts a giant bear, they will immediately become famous hunting masters, and they can even be summoned by the lord, get rewards, and even a set of rewards. A decent job.

But if it is an encounter, where humans bump into a giant bear without much preparation, the situation is very different.

Even if a fully armed team entered the mountain, they would be in a hurry when suddenly faced with a rampaging giant bear, and even lost several soldiers.

But at this moment, more than a dozen giant bears appeared together, and started to charge towards a group of soldiers who were not paying attention to themselves at all, and their backs were facing themselves.

……

At this moment, the dense army formation became a cage restricting the soldiers themselves. The power erupted by a dozen giant bears in the crowd overturned dozens of people in an instant, and flesh and blood began to fly in the first place.

The soldiers who never thought that there would be a sneak attack from the enemy didn't even have the time to switch their weapons, and all they had to do was scream.

It was as if a dozen chariots had run over in the minced meat.Afterwards, the bloodthirsty and psychedelic eyes of the giant bears stared at the crazy Lugo and Hogg Blackhand at the front of the team.

"Roar!"

The deafening roar almost deafened the ears of the two lords. The stench of blood came from behind them. The last second they were proud of Easter, but they couldn't understand what happened at the scene at this moment. .

Fortunately, East rushed out immediately without hesitation, pulled the two lords and rolled to the ground with a grunt.

But there were too many bears, and the scene was too chaotic.

East only heard the sound of screams in a haze, followed by a panicked cry of "protect the patriarch", and after that, there were various roaring sounds that could not be suppressed.

Looking up, his eyes were immediately covered with blood. It was the warriors of Skellige who were using their lives to delay these giant bears.

The members of the Dimen family and the Drummond family have been completely dispersed.

East yelled at the lord who was thrown down by him: "Are you okay, are you two alright?"

Crazy Lugo was still in shock, he reacted very quickly, glanced at East inexplicably, and immediately jumped up holding an ax, shouting loudly to attract the attention of his family's soldiers.But he was immediately thrown down by two guards, and then a giant bear ran over from where he was just now.

But Hogg Blackhand's situation is much worse, his "black hand" has become "blood hand"... No, he no longer has hands.

A giant bear was chewing something in its mouth, and Hogg Blackhand was screaming. There was nothing under his right shoulder, and only the blood on the ground could prove that something had actually existed there just now.

East saw the female guards behind Hogg Blackhand rush forward, as if trying to pull his lord into the protection of his Tursek soldiers, but the giant bear rushed up again, and slapped the The female guard shot away.

Then it opened its bloody mouth and grabbed the back of Hogg Blackhand, and began to shake its head violently and tear its prey.

East let out a roar, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and slashed at the neck of the giant bear.

The long sword was embedded in the flesh and was cushioned by the thick fur and fat. It couldn't kill him with one blow, but the pain was enough to make the beast let go and turn to him.

East jumped back dexterously to avoid the slap of the giant bear's mind, and shouted behind him:

"Ged! Ged! Help!"

East knew Ged's strength. This demon hunter could fight a giant bear alone with only a dagger.If you join the battle at this moment, you can definitely solve the urgent need.

But his call did not bring help.

Taking advantage of the gap between the soldiers of the Dimen family who had reacted and blocked the giant bear, East looked in the direction of the demon hunter, and saw that Gerd was already clamping the neck of a giant bear, but it was In your own army!

……

The thick bear paws made golden ripples on Ged's body from time to time.

And looking at the piece of cloth left on the giant bear, it turned out to be the young Bill brought back by Lann and the others.

"Boy, I will give you one last chance to wake up!"

Gerd patted the giant bear's head with his left hand, and hit [Alder's seal] at zero distance.

It was as if an invisible heavy hammer fell down, causing the giant bear to fall to the ground with a howl.

But in just two breaths, this huge and unusually strong giant bear shook his head and stood up again-the giant bear itself has amazing physique, and Gerd is not good at [Alder Seal], and may even be affected by it. little effort.

Seeing the giant bear shaking its head and shaking its ears towards him and making an attacking gesture, Ged reached out and grabbed the bear-headed steel sword behind his back:

"I sympathize with you, Bill. And it seems that those two idiot lords have been tricked, and we will need you to find the real hiding place of the Vilkas. But if you can't seize this opportunity and wake up quickly ...I can only kill you."

……

East withdrew his gaze, knowing that Gerd could not count on it for the time being... No, Gerd had already given him the greatest help, and it was because of him that the army of the Tursek family was able to maintain it and not be ambushed The giant bear behind him rushed away.

Knowing that he can only rely on himself, East decisively began to encourage the soldiers under his command: "Don't panic, it's just a dozen giant bears, it's just a sneak attack, we have thousands of soldiers!"

"Qatar, blow the horn!" East ordered loudly to his adjutant, "Don't let our formation be scattered by the rout soldiers, shrink our wings and let them go around."

"Yes!" The adjutant answered loudly.

East continued to shout, trying to boost some morale: "Warriors, they are just giant bears, and soon we will..."

A battle cry interrupted East's words.

He saw his adjutant jumping in front of him, blocking the throwing ax that flew out of the jungle and struck him.

Immediately afterwards, countless naked soldiers with bloody battle marks on their faces rushed into their army formation.

They didn't wear armor on their upper body, even a dagger would be enough to pierce their flesh and blood into their internal organs.But the blood and pain made them more fanatical, and the heavier the injury, the more dripping their attacks.

"Velka Berserker... No, it's just a fighter."

It's just soldiers. Under the sneak attack, each of these soldiers can kill at least two Skellige soldiers in armor. With an ax, with a fist, with a tooth, he took another person away and died together.

That crazy look makes people chill, and even makes people think that they only want to die.

……

Was attacked and surrounded in his own territory.

East took a deep breath. The battle situation and the tragedy vaguely brought him back to the early morning when he fought in the Damanada Valley.

At that time, they were also ambushed and besieged like this. In that battle, he lost the lioness.

"But this time, I have nothing to lose... only the sword in my hand!"

East strode up to meet a Velca who had just killed a Tursek soldier, slashed the opponent's entire neck with a sword, and then raised his round shield to block an oncoming throwing axe.

His armor was too conspicuous, and at this moment he was surrounded by three Velcas.

"Come on, Vilka... No, it's Nilfgaardian!!"

The experienced East split a desperate Velka warrior with his long sword, and blocked the second man's ax with his thick armor.

As for the third person, he had no extra strength to resist, but an unexpected person helped him——

Crazy Lugo pulled the ax out of the back of the third man's head, and then drove it into the second man's back.Pull out hard, bringing out a string of blood columns and a small piece of spine.

"Are you crazy?" Crazy Lugo yelled at East, "If you don't run back into your guard at this time, what are you going to kill in front!"

"Where are the reinforcements? Where's Kratz? Where's Lannister? Why haven't they come to rescue you!"

East stared at the lunatic Lugo for two seconds and chuckled.

He was about to say something when suddenly an emerald light shone all over his body.

The light was so dazzling that it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

……

For important people, Lane will mark them so that they can be teleported at any time.

Whether it is protecting or being protected, this can maximize the use of one's own abilities, and even play a role in deciding the situation of the battle.

And when Geralt learned that East and his party might be in trouble, Lan immediately activated the [Teleportation] skill.

However, in his original cognition, East's "trouble" should be the conflict with rival family competitors, rather than the level of melee in front of him.

The situation on the scene was beyond Lan's expectation, but he, who had experienced many battles, quickly reacted.

The light on his body gradually faded, and Lan quickly looked around, avoiding the stunned East and Lugo the lunatic, he saw Hogg Blackhand lying on the ground, and several of his guards.

At this moment, five Velka fighters were rushing towards him.

[flashing]!
Without a trace of hesitation, emerald light enveloped his body again.

Immediately after a flash of golden light, Lan appeared in front of Hogg Blackhand.

At this moment, a female shield guard raised her long sword and launched a suicide charge towards Wilka.Lann reversed the scimitar, put the female shield guard's blade on the back of the blade, and then sent her flying with a forceful swipe.

With no one in the way, there is no obstruction between him and the Velka warrior.

Because of the stiffness in swinging the sword before, he was facing the five Velca warriors with his back at the moment.

However, before the people who noticed this side exclaimed, Lan's body began to rotate in a way beyond ordinary people's comprehension.

That is the speed of the sword that humans can't do at all——

[Whirling Sword Dance]!
In the blink of an eye, five heads soared into the sky!

Lane chose the most visually impactful fighting method, but according to his observations, the other enemies on the scene were not in the least deterred, but even more excited.

The fighting will of these people is very wrong, and they have already broken away from the general "elite" level.

Lann took a deep breath, and the golden light flashed again.

This time he returned to East, ignoring the lunatic Lugo whose eyes were straight, and asked East:
"Are they Vilcar?"

East's reaction was quick, and he nodded in affirmation.

Lan gritted his teeth, the scene was a bit difficult.

This kind of melee between hundreds of enemies and his own soldiers is his current ability, which is still relatively difficult for him to deal with.

The number of people shouldn't be a problem. Lan now has many options for clearing the field. Whether it is [Igni Sign] or [Alder Sign · Biting Bone], they are enough to deal with enemies of this order of magnitude.But if it is the current situation where the enemy and the enemy are in a melee, they will be quite tied up. In reality, there is no friendly protection mechanism, so they can't kill them all...

And [Flicker] is a raid skill, not a clearing skill. Hundreds of consecutive flashes are enough to drain Lann's magic power.

He needs to call in some help.

The mind sank into the system and activated the skill - [Teleportation].

But this time, there was no emerald light rising from Lan's body, because he didn't want to teleport himself to other places, but to teleport others to his side.

Four light clusters lit up from Lann's side, surrounding him in the center.

……

"Roar!"

A giant bear roared and rushed towards Lann. Four or five axes had been embedded in its body, but none of them hurt its vitals. On the contrary, it became more and more mad.

"hiss!"

There was a neighing sound that was louder than the roar of the giant bear, and a black horse that looked like a chariot suddenly rushed out from the emerald light group, and rushed straight towards the giant bear.

Bow your head - bump!

The giant bear that made all the Skelliges avoid the sharp edge flew out.

The eyes that were attracted by the movement of the giant bear became rigid in an instant.And Heifengren stood up, and punched a set of combined punches in mid-air with his front hooves, his amber vertical pupils shone with excitement.

Because the mountains in Skellige are not suitable for riding horses, Lane has not taken Black Wind out for a walk for a long time, and has been kept in the stables on Little Skellige Island; The witcher horses were in a frenzy.

The other three light clusters gradually went out at this moment, revealing three figures with confused eyes: Geralt, Kolgrim, and Kern.

"This is... a portal? No, I didn't go through the gate, is it similar magic?" Cohen looked at everything around him incredulously, "But you're not dizzy at all?"

Colgrim glanced around and quickly realized: "This is a melee..."

Without saying a word, Geralt drew out the wolf-headed steel sword and joined the battle group.

……

"Geralt, Lann, deal with the giant bear! They have restrained too many of our fighters and created too much chaos!" Easter shouted, "As long as we can form an army formation, the Velcans and us will Can be easily dealt with!"

The three newly-appeared demon hunters immediately shuttled into the crowd, heading towards the giant bear.

Except for the bear sect, demon hunters from other sects have no obvious physical strengthening, and even they are unable to kill the giant bear with one blow.

But when it comes to beasts, the witcher has a unique solution.

Hands glowing white were raised.

【Yakesi Seal】

The bewildered chaotic energy invaded the brains of these giant bears, causing them to stagnate in an instant.

And they were surrounded by Skellige soldiers at the moment.There was no resistance, no dodge, and in an instant, several weapons were inserted into their vital points at the same time, killing the giant bears.

The Skellige soldiers were suddenly pleasantly surprised that the fight was easier with the Witcher on board.

With one strike, the demon hunters immediately ran away without looking back after casting their seal, looking for the next giant bear that was raging.

They followed suit and quickly stabilized the situation.

Without the giant bears disrupting the formation, the soldiers also regrouped under the encouragement of the horns, facing the desperate but poorly equipped Vilka fighters, and immediately suppressed them again.

……

Cohen and Kolgrim had returned to the castle with Lane and assembled troops with Kratz; while Geralt had returned to send information, so they were both far away from the battlefield.

Fortunately, Lann had already placed a mark on them to activate the [Teleportation] skill.This kind of high-end elite combat power can play a considerable role in this kind of melee.

Lane didn't call Alice out.After all, Alice is a spirit body, so appearing on this occasion, even as a friendly army, would challenge the perception of the Skelliges.

It was enough for the witchers to join the fray.

However, with Colgrim as an assassin and Cohen as a French fighter, they are still somewhat restrained and unable to release all their combat power.

The one who can really play a big role in this situation is—Ged.

Lan looked at the bear demon hunter who was anxious with the giant bear.

……

With a flash of golden light, Lan came to Ged in an instant, and looked at the bear demon hunter who was choking the giant bear.

"What are you doing, this is... Bill?"

Seeing the irrational giant bear at this moment, and thinking of the young man who was obviously not injured before, but was dripping with blood and dressed in rags, everything made sense.

No, I can even think of more things, such as the fear of the sea monsters towards him, and the mermaid that has not appeared so far...

"He's Bill. I don't know if it's because of Svalblo's psychedelic potion or some other reason. His memory has problems. That's why you couldn't judge the current situation with your signature hypnosis before." Ged shouted , "After all, he can't tell you what he doesn't know."

"But we still need him, Lann." Ged saw Lann's lion eyes flickering, and hurriedly persuaded, "We haven't found the real place where the Vilka people gather, and we still need him to lead us the way."

Gerd's words were biased.

In theory, Bill is no longer needed.Annihilating all the Vilka people here, the Svalblo Sect should have no vitality, and the group no longer needs to sneak around to explore their gathering place.

Taking a step back, even if the Svalblo sect still retains a not-so-weak combat power, but at the moment it has been overwhelmed, and the battle has become a tough battle. After that, it will be okay to throw people out in a fair manner, and then use small groups of troops as before Going to explore the opponent's gathering place may be countered by the opponent who is familiar with the terrain.

At this time, Gerd's explanation should be that he was moved with compassion; the demon hunter who came out of the most ruthless school has an extraordinarily gentle heart.

But Lan didn't intend to kill Bill originally.

He looked at the last remaining skill point in his system, and the follower panel waiting to be opened.

A young man who is born with extremely strong mental resistance, maybe he has some talent on him; plus at this moment, he has become a heterogeneous berserker who can transform into a bear, and he is also a good immediate combat power.

Moreover, Lann is still very interested in the transformation of the berserker of the Svalblo Sect: Is this a gift from the evil god, or is it simply the result of alchemy plus magic research?

Or is it a mix of both?

Is it possible to reproduce it?
Is it even possible to improve, in addition to bear warriors, research wolf warriors, tiger warriors, and even griffin warriors, fork-tailed dragon warriors...

It seems necessary to keep an obedient experimental subject and throw it to Mossak for research.

By the way, Mossak has a backlog of several experimental projects now?

……

Thinking of this, Lan put his hand on the forehead of the breathless giant bear that was being locked by Gerd's throat.

The giant bear's consciousness has gradually blurred, and this is the time when its resistance consciousness is weakest.
