From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 14: It’s Coming

In the woods, three corpses were lying crookedly. They were all well-equipped, but the tips of the enemy’s knives pierced through the gaps in their armor, precise and deadly.

Silent, like shrewd hunters, these people have been on the predator’s recipe for a long time.

There were many torches standing around, and Lan’s face was difficult to tell under the light and dark flames.

“Their blood has not yet dried, and the enemy is still around. Lord Count, we can still chase…”

“Nope. Lane shook his head, “Let’s retreat.” ”

“But my lord…”

“Retreat! ”

The vice captain may not be angry in his heart, wondering how the count, who was still brave during the day, became so timid now. But Lan already had a guess about the enemy in his heart.

Demon hunters, definitely demon hunters. According to the physical characteristics forced by the robbers, Lann can be sure of this.

The iconic twin swords. The demon hunter carries a steel sword and a silver sword all year round. Steel sword kills, silver sword hunts devils. It is said that because the silver sword has excellent demon breaking effect and many magical creatures are sensitive to silver, but the silver sword is too easy to damage and expensive, so the demon hunter will prepare an extra steel sword to cope with the battle with humans.

Signature potions backpack strap. Demon hunters are also alchemists who configure potions, and can configure potions with various functions including healing, night vision, underwater breathing, plus power and defense, and even alchemy schools that specialize in long and equipped potions. In addition to potions, a small number of alchemical bombs can also be carried here.

As well as the iconic amber cat pupil, the eyes that every demon hunter acquires after passing an alchemical transformation called “Grass Trial” can give them night vision and powerful dynamic vision.

In addition to the above abilities, a demon hunter has other abilities such as superhuman physique, magic and seal, and so on.

If the squad assembles a head-on confrontation, Lann is not afraid of the other party, because whether in the novel or the game, the frontal combat power of the demon hunter (except the player) facing the army is quite weak.

But now is in the jungle, the enemy is dark, and it is the time when the traps, potions, tracking and many other demon hunting methods that the demon hunter is good at can be most brought into play. Give him enough time to completely annihilate the hundred-man team, but he can assassinate most of them before they return to Sintra.

Simply put, you can “fight” with the demon hunter, but don’t “fight” with the demon hunter. Now Lane is in the awkward position of “dating the frame”.

The deputy captain sounded the clarion call to close the team, and the scattered troops slowly withdrew to camp.

While counting the numbers, the soldiers received another bad news: three more soldiers were missing.

The troops who hastily dispersed to find the missing soldiers gave the unknown demon hunter a chance, and let him silently harvest three lives. Together with the three corpses found earlier, a total of six people died, which was more than the casualties they had suffered when they had surrounded the bandits before.

The attendant Sward came over and handed Rann a water bag, and the irritated Rann drank it all.

“Sir, the leader of these robbers is eccentric. ”

“I know. Lann said, “That’s a demon hunter.” ”

“Demon hunter? Sward and the vice-captain who heard him exclaimed in a low voice, “I have heard them from bards and gent, and there is a poet named Dandrian who often writes poems about the theme of witchers. ”

Schild wondered, “I’ve never seen real demon hunters, but aren’t they on the mission of hunting monsters?” How did you become a bandit leader? ”

Lane threw the water bag back to the attendant and said, “It turns out that there are special cases among the demon hunters, and we have met one now.” ”

The question now is why this demon hunter is clenching on his group of soldiers.

In the original work, the demon hunters are all people who seek benefits and avoid harm, and the demon hunters other than the cat school will give in to organizations such as the army and the knights as much as possible, and they are well versed in the way to protect their lives to the point of “weakness”.

Even a cat school like a madman is unlikely to be crazy enough to want to hunt an army alone.

Suddenly, Lane thought of the crystal that contained magical powers. Even if he rummaged through the family treasures and contacted the upper class of Sintra, he could not find a piece of the source of magic crystal.

Yes, that’s why it explains why there is a demon hunter here, and why a large-scale bandit group that is rare in the northern countries can be gathered here.

What if that demon hunter came for this crystal? Even this group of thieves gathered for this crystal? Those who plundered the passing caravans were nothing more than wild food that they could not help but fight.

This can also explain why this madman demon hunter is like a provocative beast pestering these people. He did not lose his mind for revenge, but his life was held in his hands.

“Lord Count, what shall we do after that? Wait until dawn or…” The vice captain watched the change in Rann’s face, and his heart was uneasy, so he stepped forward cautiously and asked.

“No, not wait. Lane said, “Scatter the people again.” ”

“Huh? The vice captain, who had just summoned all the people back, was dumbfounded.

“But this time in groups of twenty, raise torches to illuminate the surroundings, and people should not scatter too far to avoid being attacked. Don’t go too far either, and come back as soon as you hear my signal. ”

“Huh? “The vice captain is even more stupid, this is not like a camp that scattered out to find someone, but like a dispersal to walk temporarily.

Schild nodded in agreement, he didn’t think as much as the vice captain, and Rann’s order he unconditionally obeyed: “My side will choose the troops with you.” ”

“Nope. Lane waved his hand, “I’ll stay.” ”

Sward paused, and then said, “Then I’ll pick the troops that stay with you…”

“I was left alone. ”

After saying that, Rann ignored the reactions of the others, walked to the fire and sat down, took out the crystal that had absorbed all the magic power and looked at it carefully.

He was not looking at this crystal that had no value, but something he hoped to use this crystal to elicit.

Since you know the purpose of the other party, then why go to the other party and wait for the other party to send it to the door by themselves?

I was just worried that so many soldiers would let the other party throw rats, so I had to scatter all the people.

“I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Demon Hunter. Lane summoned the panel and looked at the gray rows of skills on it, “I could have waited for dawn for the troops to escort me back to the city, but wouldn’t that be a pity?” ”

“After coming to this world for more than a year, I spent so much effort and so much experience to find the demon hunter, but I didn’t expect that now you yourself appear in front of me, it really takes no effort. ”

“It’s coming, so you have to play a role… Don’t let me down. ”
