Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1223 1205. Distrust

After a long time, Margarita was finally sure that Lan En had no feelings towards the cold and beautiful female sorceress with black hair and purple eyes.

Although the relationship between Yennefer and Geralt is a very hot topic among the warlock community.

They were also the first group to become famous in the small circle of warlocks, a combination of female sorcerers and witchers as lovers.

Of course, now that Lann has made the demon hunter group more and more famous, more female sorcerers have come to know this group that they once knew little about.

Superior military strength, strong physique, and generally strong physiological needs due to hormonal mutations. Being a lover to satisfy your cravings is indeed a good choice.

Therefore, many female sorcerers now want to find a demon hunter to satisfy their desire for exploration and novelty.

But Yennefer used to be very extravagant, and was considered one of the "very extravagant" sorcerers, which made Margarita, a friend who knew her well, curl her lips.

"So, should I talk to Tishaya about this?"

Lan En smacked his lips speechlessly, which caused Margarita to chuckle.

"No, there's no need to ask her for this kind of thing. It's not that difficult to handle."

The current head of Aretuza shook his head.

"Supporting an action that is likely to have a lucrative payoff and be approved by the warlocks is nothing new to Aretuza."

"Although this action sounds risky and may go against the will of many kings. So you know."

At this point, Margarita's voice also carried the rationality and calmness of a leader.

"Aretusa will not provide direct assistance until the situation becomes clear. The assistance is limited and hidden."

"Be careful with your bets." Lan En didn't show any extra expression after hearing this. "It's a safe choice. But it's enough."

"Before we can achieve any real results, we can get this kind of sponsorship thanks to me."

As he spoke, Lan En praised himself jokingly.

"Let's see what they can do next." Margarita spread her hands. "But, shouldn't we talk about how to deal with the body of that Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

Although it is night time and the flowers are fragrant, there are neither insects nor birds singing.

Because these weak and sensitive creatures were still being crushed by the pressure of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's corpse and were fleeing in panic.

The corpse of the Tyrannosaurus Rex alone is dangerous enough for the world.

No one knows what changes will occur in that corpse full of incomparably strong vitality under the influence of the chaotic magic scattered throughout the world.

Although Lan En had killed the Tyrannosaurus once, who knew whether a twisted demon spirit would be born from the brutal and greedy corpse?
"The body of the Devil Rex cannot be left here." The demon hunter first made a general conclusion solemnly. "Not only because of the danger, but also because of my duty."

"It was part of the agreement I made to prevent dangerous things from coming here through the intersection of the celestial spheres."

"That is to say, you must send its body back to its original world."

Margarita frowned slightly and muttered something to herself.

"This thing is so big and heavy, there's no way it can be moved out of the mountain and teleported? Maybe it's possible."

"It's not just teleportation, things are not that simple." When talking about the specific operations, Lan En couldn't help but frowned slightly.

However, the witcher still turned his head slightly and asked in a seemingly unintentional tone.

"By the way, is Rita Tishaya free recently?"

"Free? Look at the way you ask. How long is considered free?"

"It will take at least a month."

"More than a month?" Margarita came to her senses at this time and looked at the demon hunter strangely. "If it was in Aretuza, it would definitely be. But I understand what you mean. What do you want to do?"

Lan blinked and smiled.
-
It was not until around three or four in the morning of the next day that the others found this place along the rugged mountain roads of the Mahakam Mountains, following the traces of destruction left by the Tyrannosaurus and Lan.

This is even with the supernatural lighting provided by the two warlocks Triss and Tishaya. Otherwise, it would be impossible to move in the mountains at night.

"Even though I'm a corpse, the terrifying pressure of this thing still makes it difficult for me to breathe."

Lincoln, unable to hide his fatigue, arrived with the rest of the Honor Swordsmen of the Embers Knights.

The young clerk did the same thing as Margarita did before, carefully touching the smooth skin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with her hand.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have done a great job."

Lan En was beside him, giving recognition and encouragement to each honorary swordsman.

They had previously greatly eliminated the impact of the cursed fog monsters on the battle situation.

For this reason, they even risked casualties by splitting up the team. Fortunately, the Ember Knights were very skilled, and their training from the Demon Hunters also made them very targeted against monsters like the Fog Demon. Therefore, only three of the Knights were slightly injured, and they had already been bandaged and treated.

However, after a long march and fierce fighting, most of them were obviously listless and dazed, even though they were the tough guys who had fought in the Battle of Sodden Mountain with Lan.

I am really exhausted.

Triss and Tisha were also standing beside the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with its legs stuck in the hole. They covered their mouths and noses with perfumed handkerchiefs and looked at the huge dark green monster with amazement and seriousness.

They are all sorcerers, and their identity as part-time researchers makes them feel not only the same emotion as Lincoln, but also a subconscious desire to explore this horrific monster they have never seen before.

"Sir." One of the Embers said tiredly but clearly, "Is the battle over now? What should we do with this corpse?"

The overall high quality of Embers Knight is reflected in one sentence.

They are not an ordinary knight order whose only thoughts are about fighting and battle. For an ordinary knight order, once the battle is over, that's it.

But for this group of Embers Knights who take Lan as their role model and goal, controlling the post-war impact is also part of their combat mission.

And they immediately realized the importance of this body.

The Mahakam Mountains suffered such massive ecological damage that it even threatened the safety of the Pontar Valley, a major river transport artery.

If there is no explanation, it will be difficult for the kings of the four northern countries.

But on the other hand
The Embers Knights all took off their helmets at this time, and they communicated with each other silently with calm, tacit and meaningful glances.

It must be stated in advance that since the Knights of Embers became famous along with Lann in the Battle of Sodden Mountain, they have been warmly received and enthusiastically arranged by King Foltest of Temeria.

But they don't trust the four northern countries very much.

One of them was the reason for the failure of the first Battle of Soden.

At that time, the internal command of the four northern countries' armies was unclear and they hindered each other, which led to a great defeat. Finally, they turned the tables in front of the Nilfgaardian army at Mount Sodden.

In addition, at the end of the Battle of Sodden Mountain, the Ash Knights who followed Lan witnessed with their own eyes the fanatical atmosphere of the soldiers of the four countries on the battlefield towards their own commander.

In the battlefield of life and death, the commander who can lead the team to victory is God!

Lan, in full view of the crowd, killed all the gods from Nilfgaard and won the final victory!

After the war, although Lan was accidentally teleported away by Triss, the soldiers still respected and were fanatical about him.

This enthusiasm even spread to the Knights of Embers led by Lan.

It is difficult to say how much of the current reputation of the Order of Embers is due to their leader Lan.

And in such a collective mood, the Embers Knights remained as calm and angry as possible because of Lan's unexpected teleportation.

They are able to pay attention to their surroundings amidst the chaotic waves of emotions.

According to their observations, the kings of the four northern countries would certainly not feel very good when they saw that the soldiers who should have been loyal to them were so fanatical about other people after the war.

Their attitudes were inconspicuous in the chaos of the time, and each of the kings was a master of the most profound performance, with extremely fast and natural changes in emotions.

However, those emotions were still seen by the Embers Knights, leading to the current distrust.

If it was before, they just followed their master here to help Foltest and ensure the safety of the Pontar Valley, so they would naturally report back after completing the job.

But just now, Lan En had already told them about his goals with Sakia and Iorveth.

A free city with racial equality. The Embers liked this idea very much.

On the one hand, after the baptism of escaping from hell, they have their own thoughts on profound issues such as society, race, and justice, and they resonate with their adults.

On the other hand, the title of "Duke" on their lord's head is still an empty title. In their minds, this is really embarrassing.

Under such circumstances, the Embers Knights began to hesitate about whether or not to report honestly to Temeria.

"Sir, I noticed that you seemed very familiar with this monster. Have you seen it before?" Lincoln asked as he wiped the blood stains from the skin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex off his hands. "But didn't it come from the intersection of the celestial spheres?"

"It is precisely because it came from the intersection of the celestial spheres that I know it."

Lan said simply that he had not yet explained in detail to the Embers Knights his agreement with the Lady of the Lake and his mission.

But it's only a matter of time.

After all, the Knights of Embers are the most trustworthy force under his command.

Thinking of this, Lan En even pointed at the corpse of the Tyrannosaurus with interest and gave a brief explanation to Lincoln and Tishaya.
