Demon Hunter: I became a god in the demon hunting world
Chapter 24: Defeat
"I can tell you."
The dwarf said in a loud voice that he thought was lowered, "Baron Odin III and the others didn't come back last night. It is said that they also brought a sorceress with them, so they may have encountered a problem.
"This morning my apprentices said that there are more soldiers patrolling our city gate. They are afraid that in case of Cato's sneak attack, they can close the city gate in advance."
Dick's heart trembled when he heard this, and he became a little worried about Sia.
Prospective apprentices will be of great help to themselves regardless of their previous attitudes.
Then he nodded slightly with a serious face.
The dwarf didn't know why and didn't think much about it. Most of his attention was still focused on Dick's armor.
"Great, the sunshine here is so good today, and the time is actually much shorter than I expected. Look... the witcher."
The dwarf stood up and showed Dick's leather armor to him, "Look..."
The gaps in the leather armor have been neatly mended, and apart from a few dense stitches of special iron wire stitching, no damage can be seen at all.
"Thank you so much."
"Hey, no need, I just took your money and I will take care of things."
Dick took off his coat directly, wearing only the inner lining, put the armor on his body, and put the coat away in a bag.
After bidding farewell to the dwarf, he quickly came to the notice board of Odinburg.
No matter what happened to Xia, he had no news about her for the time being, so he couldn't help much.
But getting energy points can improve your strength, so just do it if you can.
When I came to the notice board, I glanced briefly, but there was still no monster hunting commission.
Dick paused for a moment, and it seemed that he could only go to a nearby village to look for it.
Thinking of this, he walked directly towards the city gate.
Before reaching the door, Dick's eyes could already see the dust flying hundreds of meters outside the door, and soldiers were rushing to Odinburg.
Those soldiers were the ones who went out with Odin III.
Dick's expression changed slightly, and he walked quickly to the city gate. He happened to see the leader of the soldiers dismounting his horse, staggering and clutching the side of his shoulder, and rushing towards the door.
"What happened?" Dick asked in a deep voice.
The leading knight is Kerby.
At this time, Kerby had lost his helmet to someone unknown. His face was pale, and there was an arrow stuck in the shoulder blade of his right arm. The number of soldiers behind him was also much smaller, with only three or four cavalry, including Fisher. Captain, plus a dozen infantrymen.
It seemed that they must have encountered a major crisis or been defeated by the Cato people.
Dick's guess was correct. Kebi pushed away the two soldiers who were trying to support him at the door, and said with a gray face: "We were defeated. My father and Miss Shia were both captured by the Cato people."
"How is that possible? Didn't you say before that it was just a small group of Cato people?"
"Hey, I didn't expect these Cato people to be so cunning. The people in front are just bait. There are two large troops behind them, a total of about 200 cavalry, attacking us from the side. We are completely unable to resist them.
“My father is now captured by them, what should I do?
"By the way, there is a letter from Duke Amara saying that they have also captured a Cato leader, and they can exchange that person for my father when the time comes." Kebi's eyes lit up.
"What about Shia?" asked the demon hunter.
"There were two priests on the opposite side at that time. One of them hid himself in advance, but Xia did control the priest who showed up. We worked together to kill him. But there was a second one...
"I estimate that although Shia was captured alive at that time, a priest on the opposite side died because of her..."
Before he finished speaking, Dick already understood what was going on.
Those Cato people would not let Shia go if they killed the enemy's important priest.
"Are you sure she hasn't been killed yet?"
"Not yet." Kebi nodded solemnly, "Because some of our soldiers here have studied the Cato language. The priest opposite said that Shia can release the art of thunder. It is also very rare for warlocks to master the thunder element. existence. He needs to study Shia’s body structure carefully.”
"How to study?" Dick frowned.
"...It may be that she is using various instruments to test her ability to control the magic in the air.
"If they crack the way she controls the thunder element in the air, they may create new thunder spells."
"What about after that?"
Kebi shook his head and said hesitantly: "They should kill her."
"If we kill Siya directly, it should be a good ending for her, right?" Dick frowned slightly.
Kebi hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.
In fact, both of them knew what would happen after the Catu people snatched Shia away. According to the usual practice, the woman they snatched would definitely suffer, and would eventually be humiliated and die.
And Shia is still a beautiful woman, coupled with her extraordinary quasi-warlock status, it will make those Cato people crazy.
"I'm going to save her." Dick said solemnly.
"I think it's best for us to hide in the city. Those Cato people are likely to take this opportunity to attack the city, and when the time comes, you can still contribute as a demon hunter."
"What does the defense of Odinburg have to do with me? The person who helped me was Shia, not you."
"Dick, you..."
"I said, tell me the Cato people's route. I'm going to find Shia now."
After saying this, Dick stopped talking and just stared at Kerby.
The young man suddenly felt that the eyes of the demon hunter in front of him were like those of a large, high-level predator, majestic and terrifying.
The soldiers around him also felt this depressing and addictive atmosphere, fearing that Dick would go berserk, and quickly surrounded Coby, and the atmosphere became tense.
Coby just shook his head and stopped his men's actions, "We were besieged in the town of Doshi in the west."
"When we fled back, the Cato people did not chase us much. I think it might be that Duke Amara of Stern Raven City cut off their retreat, so they did not chase us."
"I am not interested in these analyses. How far is the town of Doshi you mentioned from here? "
Coby's angry expression flashed across his face. Although the demon hunter has a noble status, he cannot command nobles.
It can be imagined that the demon hunter in front of him is so angry, just worried about Miss Xia, and he did not protect Miss Xia well.
When he went to the battle, he had secretly vowed to protect Xia, but in the end, everything was messed up.
It seems that he was still wrong. Thinking of this, Coby suddenly let go of the demon hunter's rudeness.
"It's a two-hour journey, but I'm not sure if they are still there, and if the nearly 200 cavalry are all there, we can't do anything. "
"Give me your horse and show me the way."
"You want to go by yourself?"
"Yes."
"I'll lead the way for you. I'm more familiar with it. If you get lost, it will waste more time. "
Dick nodded.
And then Coby looked at the two soldiers in front of him, "Come on, help me deal with the wound, just wrap it up simply. "
"Yes. "
With another wave of his hand, a soldier behind him dismounted and handed the mount to the witcher.
Dick turned over and mounted the horse directly, and Coby also rode his own warhorse after his wound was simply bandaged and led the way in front.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, causing the dry ground to be covered with dust, and the two slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
