Demon Hunter and His Hut
Chapter 20: Pretending to be forced or low-key?
"The Demon Hunter and His Hut (
Ashe's face was pale, and her body trembled violently.
At this time, Roger and others finally understood why Ashe reacted so much when facing Zelist's invitation at the beginning.
She should have known the Duke's attempt a long time ago, so she refused again and again, and even planned to leave directly the next day.
If it hadn't happened because there were two demon hunters in the team, even if Dandrien's retention, she would have left immediately.
It now appears that the so-called invitation to Geralt actually has a copy for Roger. If the two leave because of the mission, then it will not take long before the Duke's guard will appear near the tavern.
Then used a plausible excuse to take Ashe away. As for what happened later, it was self-evident.
"No woman can refuse me, especially at Cape Blimwud!"
"This is my territory!"
The Duke raised the volume and looked down at everyone as a winner.
"Then your choice, Miss Ash, my patience is limited, and this will be your last chance!"
"Go away!"
"If I can leave here alive, I will spread your ugly behavior to all the surrounding countries!"
"Count me!" Dandrian echoed loudly.
"Lovely little eyes, it's so rare that we are so consistent on the same thing!"
"Hmph!" The Duke's face sank fiercely, "Kill them all, and those long-scaly monsters!"
"Swish swish!"
Countless arrows shot at the wooden boat where Roger and the others were, and the mermaid became the target of the attack.
They flexibly avoided attacks in the air, and then plunged into the sea.
At this time Roger stepped forward and the weapon jumped into his hand. With the clinking noise, all the arrows that were directed at them were missed.
Roger actually blocked all the attacks by himself.
"What to do, think of a way!"
Dandrien yelled in panic, "Let's run away, stay away from them!!"
"What are you thinking about, their ship is bigger than ours, and the number of people is larger than ours. The sea is so big, where can we escape?" Ashe retorted.
"I knew that you should have promised him just now, at least you could sneak into their boat, if you could seduce..."
"Shut up, Dandrien!"
"Don't let me tear your mouth apart!"
"Hold on, Roger."
Geralt said, "I think of a way to dive into the water, so..."
But at this moment, before Geralt could finish speaking, the sea near the big ship suddenly became turbid, and then several mermaids' bodies floated out.
"what happened?"
"That's a trap!"
Cinnaz suddenly appeared, "These ships have undergone special reinforcement, and there are many institutions around the bottom of the ships. They have been prepared long ago. What you said is a conspiracy for the white-haired people!"
There was a loud cry from the mermaid's throat, and the soldiers near the ship were disturbed one after another. At this moment, her voice suddenly became rush, and then her spirit became weak.
"I must leave. The mankind is ready for a war, and I need to inform the other people of what I see."
She is ready to evacuate.
Soon the soldiers recovered from the trance and began to prepare for the second round of shooting. The Duke stood on a high place, surrounded by several strong soldiers.
He nodded to everyone, showing a cruel smile.
"Think of a way, Roger."
Dandrien said, "Is that golden dragon near here, maybe we can ask him to help."
"When is it all, are you still joking here?" Ashe said angrily.
"What's a joke?!" Dandrien jumped up, "The Roger I said is a dragon rider, he can really control dragons, or is the legendary golden dragon!"
"I don't believe you can ask Geralt!"
Ashe's eyes widened, her gaze shifted to the other side.
"Dandreen is true, but this is the sea, even if Bolki is really near here, when he arrives here, our bodies will be gnawed away."
Geralt sighed.
And then Roger frowned.
"Is there really no way?" Dandrien looked panicked.
"It's not completely absent. We can take shelter for a while, and then let Roger find a way to get close to those ships. With his strength, he should be able to control there quickly."
Geralt said again.
"Then what are you waiting for?!" Dandrien looked excited.
"Although this method is good, I am far less powerful than Roger, and we may not be able to sustain him when he wins." Geralt continued to add.
"That means we will die?" Dandrine's smile faded quickly.
At this time, the second wave of shooting struck again, and Roger did not rush and blocked all the attacks again.
The two flips quickly attracted the Duke's attention, and the bow was crowded, and they were obviously preparing for other means.
"Don't worry." Roger said.
"I'm just waiting for an opportunity, besides..." He turned his gaze to Geralt, "Didn't you tell me, try not to expose my strength in front of outsiders?"
"So I have to think of a compromise."
"What method?" everyone asked.
Roger smiled and took out the pendant hanging between his neck.
It was a golden horn as thick as a little finger, with a unique shape and intricate patterns carved on it.
Roger summoned his strength and blew the horn abruptly.
puff!
There is no loud sound, and the sound from the horn is even reminiscent of some kind of gas exchange activity.
Dandrien blinked. "That's it?"
"Roger, this time has come, there is no need to joke anymore."
"I'm not kidding."
Roger looked up, and everyone on the deck lifted a strangely shaped device, but at this moment, the surrounding sea suddenly shook violently.
It felt as if there was a giant under the ocean floor, approaching quickly ~lightnovelpub.net~ At first everyone thought it was an illusion of tension, but soon the vibration became more and more intense, until they saw it under the water. A huge black shadow quickly filled the entire field of vision.
"There is something!"
"There is something under the water!" a soldier shouted.
"Sit firmly and support well."
Roger whispered.
The next moment the sea was raging, a thick tentacle broke the surface of the water, the length of the tentacle was longer than the hull of the entire big ship, and then it was smashed down amidst the horrified shouts of countless soldiers!
Crackling!
The Duke’s ship was smashed to pieces like paper, but this was not the end. More tentacles appeared and were wrapped up along with the surrounding ships.
The tentacles tightened, and the big ship was shattered, just a few breaths, and only broken planks were left on the sea.
Roger and the others are in the center of the whirlpool, but it is strange that a small area around them is extremely quiet. As if the surrounding stormy waves happened in another space.
"Weird...Monster!!"
"What's that?" Dandrien cried as if he was the one under attack.
Ashe also looked shocked. He looked at Roger, "You summoned this thing?!"
Roger nodded, "I picked the one closest to here."
Even the well-informed Geralt's face was not very good at this time, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Roger with a calm face.
"You said... this is a solution that does not expose strength, what about exposing strength?"
Geralt couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart, and everyone looked at Roger after hearing his words.
Roger thought for a while, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Well...maybe I will choose to slash it with a sword?"
"After all, this is easier."
