From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 274 I'm sorry, the real protagonist is here

The wolf demon hunters have a variety of attack methods. Compared with other schools except the Griffin school, they are more flexible in using the sign in battle.

In addition, the Wolf School has a unique advantage: the inheritance gift from the most orthodox demon hunter order - the ring of elements.

The place of natural magic found by the warlocks and alchemists during the period of the Demon Hunter Order can strengthen the magic seal ability of the Demon Hunters.At the beginning, Lan even used it to light up all the third-level skills of the Fayin series, although his consciousness rose to the astral elemental layer outside the world, and he was almost plotted against.But judging from the results, it was safe and sound, and the rewards were quite rich.

Of course, Lane is an exception.Normally speaking, although the ring of elements will not increase the absolute strength of the wolf seal to the same level as the griffin school, it can give them some other special effects.

For example, Lambert, his [Axis Sign] has a strong hypnotic effect.When Lambert just learned to descend from Kaer Morhen, he once encountered two mercenaries. As a result, he easily hypnotized one of the mercenaries to kill his companions, and then let the poor bastard who had no eyesight hang himself up.

Geralt was also strengthened in the ring of elements [Axii Sign], and also obtained a certain hypnotic effect.Although the intensity of his hypnosis is not as strong as that of Lambert, which can make people commit suicide, he can also make the hypnotized person make simple instructions according to his thoughts.

And he can also hypnotize multiple enemies at the same time.

……

"retreat!"

Amidst Geralt's roar, the two dwarves, whose consciousness had been enveloped by the strong "ether" element, put down their weapons without hesitation and turned their backs to each other, while striding back, they each threw down a companion.

These dwarves immediately clanged and rolled together like tin cans.

One after another [Axis Seal] was cast out in Geralt's hands.His actions just now attracted the attention of the audience, and everyone stared at Geralt.At this moment, there is no need for any extra aiming at all. With the rotation of the body, every time the seal is released, the two dwarves will be hypnotized and then leave the field.

Ten of them couldn't breathe, and dozens of dwarves were hypnotized and withdrew from the center of the fight. These hypnotized dwarves also took away twice as many companions.

The center of the battlefield, which was still screaming and killing just now, was strangely quiet.

Fortunately, the hypnotized dwarves quickly regained their senses, but this made the dwarves even more suspicious of Geralt's methods.

With Geralt at the center, the two clans were separated into two halves and faced each other far away.

"It's Geralt. He went to clean up with us and saved many of our companions." A voice from the Ziglin clan suddenly rang out, "He's also very powerful... Bowser, shall we fight him?"

"Shut up." Kuba Ziglin yelled in a low voice, "Now this situation cannot be stopped by a few people. Let's listen to the patriarch."

Not only the Chiglin clan, but also the Fuchs clan started whispering.

"He seems to be the 'White Wolf', a warrior under the Duke Lannister, and a demon hunter." A dwarf on Fuchs' side whispered, "He can't be as powerful as the Duke Lannister, right? He is How did you separate so many dwarves? What do we do next?"

"Soldiers of the Duke of Lannister..." Petrit was not there, and his deputy was leading the team at the moment, "If possible, don't hurt the other party, first ask him what he wants to do."

Either because of the previous favor or because of Geralt's sudden burst of power just now, the two sides dare not act rashly at this moment.

And Geralt shook his body, and after Heifeng ran to him tacitly, he leaned forward without a trace.

After all, he was just a wolf, not a griffin, and the effect of the potion [Tawny Owl] was only to speed up the recovery of mana, not to replenish mana directly.After casting so many spells all of a sudden, Geralt felt like a sponge that had been exposed to the sun for three days, and he really couldn't squeeze out a single drop of magic power.

Geralt separated the two clans briefly by himself, with astonishing power and an evil face.But only he himself knows that even a water ghost can disembowel him at this moment, if these dwarves rush up regardless, he can only let the black wind run away with him in his mouth.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, dozens of Sintra cavalry entered the field and surrounded Geralt in the middle.There were not many of them, but they set up their lances together to form a circular formation, nailed to the very center of the battlefield like nails.

"Just put on a show, and run if things don't go right for a while. Our horses are fast, and the dwarves have short legs and can't catch up." Geralt whispered to the cavalry with a pale face like a ghost.

The warrior in the lion helmet nods slightly indistinctly.

"Geralt!" Fuchs, who was shocked by the lion's remaining power and the white wolf's current posture, shouted towards this side from a distance, "This is not your war, and I don't want to hurt you, hurry up Leave, this is not something you can stop!"

"Geralt!" Ziegling also roared, "This battle can't be stopped, even you can't stop Ziegling!"

Geralt was silent, wondering what he should say to delay as long as possible.

He didn't know how to organize the language, but there were others who had words in their hearts.

Gabo arrived with the remaining dwarves of Zigrin. There were not many of them, and they were not armored because they came in a hurry, and they were out of breath because of the long journey.

But Gabo's voice was still loud: "Patriarch, stop it, this is not the real Ziegling!"

The presence of Gabo's team caused a commotion among the dwarves around Chief Zigrin.They have had centuries of hatred against Fuchs, but why are their own people standing in front of them now?

"Gabo, you traitor! I shouldn't have let you stay in Carbon Mountain for such a long time, and it would be better for you to die in human society than now!" Patriarch Zigrin jumped angrily, "You are fighting with our enemies now! Stand aside?"

"No, patriarch, I am Ziegling, and we are all Ziegling." Gabo said calmly, "Because I am Ziegling, I cannot tolerate what happened next will bring Ziegling into the abyss."

"We didn't come here to confront our compatriots, but if you want to continue today's plan, you must first step over our corpses. I hope our blood can briefly awaken your sanity."

"Geralt, the young man I brought over is also under your command!" Gabo yelled at Geralt, "I'm going to take a few people to the pool of Davor, they plan to blow up the dam, if they don't go, they will die That's too late!"

Geralt nodded. It could be seen that the Chiglin clan had lost a lot of fighting spirit because of the arrival of this compatriot, and he also relaxed a lot.

However, he had just opened his mouth and before he had time to agree to Gabo, there was a loud noise in the distance.

"Boom—"

The fire burst out all over the sky, and the smoke that could not cover even the night rose from the direction of the dam.Geralt's eyes widened, and the hallucinations of screams began to echo in his ears.

"Pond of Davor! Damn Ziglin!" Fuchs' dwarf screamed, "The patriarch and the others are still in the mine, and they can't escape the flood!"

"It's too late." The patriarch of the Ziglin clan laughed loudly, "We never thought of using hammers and axes to destroy you! Although we didn't expect that there were so many people outside the mine, but we have to deal with them." Not a problem either. But..."

"What should I do with you, humans..." Patriarch Zigrin suppressed his smile and looked at Geralt. "No one should have known about tonight's actions."

The patriarch Zigrin gave an order, and the Zigrin dwarves hesitated to raise their weapons in the face of Geralt and the Sintra who had fought side by side not long ago.But more dwarves who did not participate in the previous cleaning had begun to move slowly. They pushed their hesitant companions to the rear of the team, and there were still hundreds of battle axes facing the Cintra people at the same time.

"You don't have the courage to raise weapons against humans, then subdue those traitors behind!" Patriarch Ziglin shouted at the clansmen who had no intention of fighting.

But Geralt suddenly calmed down when facing the menacing Ziegling dwarves.He even completely relaxed his body and leaned against Hei Feng's body.

"Zigrin...I'm sorry." He said, "You want to eliminate us to keep a secret, but your actions tonight have already been known, and the person who knows is your Great Elder—Bro Val Hogg."

In the white wolf's pupils, which were as dark as an abyss after drinking the potion, a golden flash was suddenly reflected.

The direction where the light shines is in the pool of Davor.

……

Davor's pool, dam.

The dwarves who had just detonated the explosives were hiding behind the bunker, and now they poked their heads out cautiously, cheering the victory of this operation.

However, in the next second, they were all blown away by the impact.They thought that the explosion was delayed, but the people who could be arranged here were all experienced miners, and it was impossible to miscalculate the power of the explosion.

They looked dizzily towards the place where the impact force was emitted, but were suddenly knocked out again.

Looking back, sure enough, there was no explosives there at all, only a knight with his cloak puffed up like a banner.

[Alder Fayin Alder Sweep]

The 360-degree mind impact with no dead angle is the best choice to clear the field without killing.

Looking at the blasted dam in front of him, although it is not as powerful as it was full of water like before, the remaining torrent is still not something that manpower can contend with.

Fortunately, Lane is not an ordinary person.

He raised his head and drank a bottle of [Tawny Owl] to enhance his battery life, and the strong resistance to poison kept Lan's expression unchanged.Stretching out his left hand, the familiar seal descended on Davor's Pool again.

[Alder's Sign · Bone Biting · Magic Power Explosion】!
The dwarves, who had just fallen, turned into gourds again before they could remember getting up from the ground. This time, the shock wave was not only powerful, but also biting!

When they were able to open their eyes, which were blinded by the strong wind, they saw only a bright emerald light spot dissipating in the night sky. The appearance of the knight seemed to come and go without a trace like the wind, leaving only A tall piece of solid ice that stunned the dwarves.

"The dam...is frozen again..." a dwarf murmured, "So he did it before, Duke Lannister..."

The Ziglin dwarves originally thought that the Fuchs clan used the previous plan to repair the dam, only to find that a huge piece of solid ice blocked the entrance of the cave. At that time, they were amazed at the supernatural powers of the Fuchs clan. It's not what they imagined.

"What do we do... blow it up again?"

"The explosives have run out. And if we blow it up again, he will definitely be able to come back and freeze again. And next time we might all be stuffed into this big ice cube together."

"What about the patriarch's order?"

The dwarf who spoke at the beginning was silent for a while, not knowing whether to ask himself or answer: "Do you really think... the patriarch's order tonight is correct?"

……

"Lannister!" Patriarch Ziegrin jumped to his feet angrily.

After waiting for a long time before hearing the sound of the waves sweeping the torrent, he already knew that something was wrong, and when Lan appeared on the back of the black wind exuding a bright amber light, he knew that the most important part of tonight's plan Already failed.

"This is a struggle between the dwarves, you should not intervene!" Patriarch Zigrin shouted, "Don't you Cintra want Mahakam's reinforcements?"

"Sintra promises that everyone who comes to help will be welcomed, and that every race can get along with each other on an equal footing in Sintra." Lann said coldly, "And you, you can't even get along with each other on an equal footing within the race." Come on, Sintra doesn't need such a person."

"Also, you were planning to attack my people just now, right?"

The members of the Ziglin clan were already very close to Sintra's queue, and they were all murderous.If Lane's sudden appearance hadn't deterred them, they would have been fighting the Cintra people now.

"No one else can know what happened today." Patriarch Zigrin took a deep breath, "Since this is the case, let us see if the lion of Cintra is as powerful as the rumors outside!"

Zieglin's team advanced aggressively, and Lan rode his horse to the front of the team as usual.

However, at this moment, he did not make any attack posture, but mobilized the magic power to launch the skill——

【Transmission】

A bright emerald-colored, slightly short spot of light appeared beside him.

The footsteps of all the Ziglin dwarves were suddenly suffocated, and a small figure appeared in front of them, but suddenly a mountain was crushed in their hearts.

The furious patriarch Zigrin also widened his eyes and was speechless.

The light spot gradually disappeared, and a heavily armed dwarf appeared in front of him.His hair is white, but his body is powerful, and he looks like a mountain rock from a distance.

He wears full armor and carries a warhammer as tall as anyone else.But he didn't need to use these weapons at all. Since the figure appeared completely, no dwarf could not help but take a step back wherever he looked.

The person who came could not be Brovar Hogg, the elder of the dwarves would not allow himself to be controlled by the inexplicable ancient blood magic.Although he didn't know that if Lan was determined to use [Teleport], he would not be able to resist.

The person who came was the dwarf officer who was scolded by the elder when Lan En first met the elder in the mine.His name is Barclay Ayres.

Although he was aggrieved and speechless in front of the Great Elder, to other dwarves, Barclay's name was the loudest sound of Carbon Mountain's hammer.Barclay was the colonel in Mahakam's legion. He had participated in the battle against humans and elves before Mahakam closed the mountain. After Mahakam closed the mountain, he often fought on the front line against monsters and opened up homes.

Lane knew that when the Mahakam Volunteer Army rushed to help the northern border in the future, Barclay would also serve as the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army. It was he who led the Mahakam heavy infantry against the Nilfgaardian cavalry and created a record that shocked the mainland.

Even without the embellishment of those future achievements, Barclay's reputation in Mahakam is amazing.Most of the dwarves had served in the army, which meant serving under Barclay.They could attack Fuchs, who had a feud, or the human duke who intervened abruptly, but they would never have the courage to raise an ax against Barclay.

"Just now, I was discussing with the Great Elder about the 'clean-up' issue around Vordar's Land and Seagull Wai." Barclay slowly turned his head, his eyes full of regret that iron can't be made into steel.

"But unexpectedly, the Duke of Lannister suddenly appeared and told us what happened here. I couldn't believe it at first, but now it seems..."

Barclay's eyes became sharper, and he suddenly raised his voice. His resonant voice echoed like a trumpet throughout the battlefield:
"The Great Elder ordered: The Zigrin clan immediately put down their weapons and surrendered. All the Qiglin who participated in this operation were charged into the mines and performed 500 years of hard labor as miners; those who did not perform hard labor will be expelled from Mahakam, and they are not allowed to set foot on the mountains for the rest of their lives soil of!"

"The Carbon Mountain Corps is already on the way. If Ziegling persists, the dwarves will indeed bleed soon." Barclay said in a deep voice, "But it's not Fuchs, but you Ziegling."
