Chapter 14 It’s all here

In the woods, three corpses were lying crookedly. Each of them was well-equipped, but the enemy's knife points penetrated the vital points around the gaps in their armor, with precise and deadly accuracy.

Silently, like shrewd hunters, these people have been on the predator's diet for a long time.

There were many torches set up all around, and Lan En's expression was difficult to explain under the intertwined light and dark flames.

"Their blood has not been drained yet, and the enemy is still around. Lord Earl, we can still pursue..."

"No." Lann shook his head, "We retreat."

"But my lord..."

"retreat!"

The vice-captain may be angry, wondering why the count, who was so brave during the day, has become so timid now. But Lan has already made assumptions about the enemy.

A witcher, definitely a witcher. Based on the appearance and characteristics that the bandits had forced to confess, Lan was certain of this.

The iconic double sword. The demon hunter carries a steel sword and a silver sword on his back all year round. The steel sword kills people, and the silver sword hunts monsters. It is said that the silver sword is very effective in breaking monsters and many magical creatures are sensitive to silver, but

Silver swords are too fragile and expensive to make, so witchers will keep an extra steel sword to deal with battles with humans.

Lan threw the water bag back to the attendant and said: "It turns out that there are special cases among demon hunters, and we have encountered one now."

Yes, that can explain 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.

"Ah?" The vice-captain who had just called everyone back was dumbfounded.

"No, wait." Lan En said, "then send the people out."

The deputy captain blew the horn to close the troops, and the dispersed troops slowly retreated to their encampment.

"Lord Earl, what should we do next? Wait until dawn or..." The vice-captain watched Lan's face change, feeling uneasy, and cautiously stepped forward and asked.

Suddenly, Lann thought of the crystal that contained magic power. Even though he rummaged through his family's collections and contacted half of Cintra's upper class, he could not find a crystal that was the source of magic power.

"Ah?" The vice-captain was even more stupid. It didn't look like a camp that had dispersed to look for someone, but rather like a camp that had dispersed for a temporary walk.

To put it simply, you can "fight" with the witcher, but you must never "make a fight" with the witcher. Now Lann is in the embarrassing situation of "making a fight".

Even the crazy Cat School would not be crazy enough to want to hunt an army alone.

What he was looking at was not this crystal that had no value anymore, but what he hoped to elicit from this crystal.

In addition to the above abilities, a demon hunter also has other abilities such as superhuman physique, spell casting, etc.

"But this time, there will be a group of twenty people. Hold up torches to light up the surroundings. Don't spread too far apart to avoid being attacked. Don't go too far. Come back immediately when you hear my signal."

"I know." Lan said, "That's a demon hunter."

The troops that rashly dispersed to look for the missing soldiers instead gave the unknown demon hunter a chance, allowing him to silently harvest three lives. Including the three corpses found earlier, a total of six people died, which was significantly better than their previous siege.

There were many more casualties among bandits.

If the team is assembled for a head-on confrontation, Lann is not afraid of the opponent, because whether in the novel or in the game, the demon hunter (except the player) is quite weak in frontal combat against the army.

While counting the number of people, the soldiers came back with bad news: three more soldiers were missing.

As well as the iconic amber cat eyes, every demon hunter will obtain the eyes after passing the alchemical transformation called "Trial of Green Grass", which can give them the ability of night vision and powerful dynamic vision.

"No." Lann waved his hand, "I'll stay."

The iconic potion backpack strap. Witchers are also alchemists who configure potions. They can configure potions with various functions including healing, night vision, underwater breathing, power and defense, etc. There are even special potions.

The alchemy school that configures potions. In addition to potions, a small amount of alchemy bombs can also be carried here.

Now that you know the other party's purpose, why should you go to find the other party? Wouldn't it be better to wait for the other party to come to your door?

Attendant Sward came over and handed Lan a water bag, and the irritable Lan drank it all in one gulp.

After speaking, Lan ignored the reactions of others and walked to the fire to sit down. He took out the crystal that had absorbed all the magic power and looked at it carefully.

The question now is why this demon hunter insists on clinging to his group of soldiers.

In the original work, demon hunters seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Except for the Cat School, demon hunters will give in as much as possible to organizations such as the army and the Knights. They are well versed in the way of protecting oneself to the point of "weakness".

But now in the jungle, the enemy is dark and we are clear. This is when the traps, potions, tracking and other demon hunting methods that the demon hunter is good at can best be used. Give him enough time to annihilate this hundred-man team.

Maybe impossible, but they could kill most of them before they return to Cintra.

"Sir, there is something strange about the leader of these bandits."

What if the demon hunter came here just for this crystal? What if this group of thieves even gathered for this crystal? The plundering of passing caravans was just wild food that they couldn't help but hunt.

Swader paused and then said: "Then I will choose the troops to stay with you..."

"I'm left alone."

Swade nodded in agreement. He didn't think as much as the deputy captain. He obeyed Lan's order unconditionally: "I will go and select the troops to accompany you."

Swader wondered: "I have never seen a real demon hunter, but aren't they their duty to hunt monsters? How come they became bandit leaders?"

"Witchers?" Sward and the deputy captain who heard them exclaimed in low voices. "I have often heard of them from bards and Gwent. There is also a poet named Dandelion who often writes about witchers."

Poems about demons.”

This could also explain why this crazy demon hunter would not let go of people like him like a provoked beast. He did not lose his mind for revenge, but his life was held in his hands.

I was just worried that so many soldiers would scare the enemy, so I couldn't disperse them all.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, Demon Hunter." Lan summoned the panel and looked at the rows of gray skills on it, "I could actually wait until dawn and let the troops protect me back to the city, but wouldn't that be

What a pity?”

"It has been more than a year since I came to this world. I have spent so much effort and experience looking for the demon hunter. I never expected that you would appear in front of me now. It really took no effort at all."

"You're here now, so you have to play some role... but don't let me down."
