The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 1098
"Perhaps, Dandrien. But you shouldn't be involved in this."
"Why not? They are a group of farmers. They don't want to fight, and they don't want to be forced to die on the battlefield by the sword of a knight. They have parents, wives and brothers, some have children, and even some people's brothers last year. If it weren’t for this stupid king who wanted to start a war for his ambition, how could soldiers want to rebel against him? Aren’t they people who need help? Demon hunters, you see people who need help, Wouldn't it help as much as possible?"
Zelin sighed.
"Then stop talking about it, let's go back quickly!"
The first thousand eight hundred and fifty-six chapters: the disaster of the blue iron guard
Stiff corpses hung in the camp under the moonlight. Some corpses left traces of beatings, and some were thrown to the ground at will, as if rebels had invaded Kodwin’s barracks. The tent that was set ablaze during the riots blazed into the sky, and the wounded bodies were hung in the empty camp area. The army had already been pulled out, leaving only an empty camp, where Hensett was full of corpses before leaving. Zelin saw a corpse lying in the mud. On the other side, two men without helmets were squatting next to the corpse, stuffing the coins they found out of the corpse into their pockets.
Before he got close to the camp of the blue-clothed iron guard, Zelin saw the fire in the camp, and the thick smoke soaring into the sky. Roche was stunned for a moment, then drew his knife and rushed towards the camp.
"Roche, watch out for ambush!"
Roche didn't care, he rushed back with the knife in his hand. A man was standing at the entrance of the camp, dragging a heavy bag with great effort. Roche ran over and kicked the man in front of him. The man let out a scream and plunged into the mud puddle next to him. Geralt followed closely behind the burning barricade at the door and jumped into the camp.
"Dandrine." Zelin turned to the bard behind him. "You stay here. Weis, use your crossbow arrows to find a commanding height to cover us and stay with Dandreen!"
There is no order here, the rebels can do anything.
"How about you, Demon Hunter?"
"I'll come to you soon."
As he said, Zelin raised his hand, and the burst of air pushed aside the burning fence, sparks splashed. The pink camp on the other side of the stream was already empty. Several female bodies were thrown into the grass like garbage, and blood flowed into the water along the gaps between the pebbles. The bushes in the distance kept shaking, and one shadow after another went back and forth among them. Zelin knew that corpses would soon attract a large number of scavengers in the wild, and ghouls would arrive before the flies, not to mention that there were fresh corpses in and around this camp. The temptation is beyond doubt. Zelin believed that the abandoned camp would soon become a large ghoul lair.
Zelin ran into the blue-clothed iron guard's camp.
Then he stopped. Roche and Geralt stood before him, also silent.
They have nothing to say.
There are no enemies, no comrades-in-arms, and no ambush. The only sound is the slight vibration of the Griffin badge.
The corpses of seven blue-clad iron guards fell inside, the table was overturned, the bottles and cans on it were broken to the ground, the racks where the weapons were placed turned into a ground of sawdust, the carpet was lit during the battle, and was again The blood that flowed out was poured out and turned into pieces of dark black coke. Splashing blood was everywhere on the tent, the light blue tent was dyed dark green, and the Tamoria white lily emblem in the middle was now only a blood-stained petal.
The first to break the dead silence was Roche's angry roar.
"Ah!!!"
He kicked the table on the ground fiercely, kicked the only intact clay pot, grabbed a chair and threw it to the ground fiercely, slamming his fist on the blood-stained pillar, his fingers were I don't know if the skin is scratched. After a while, he stopped.
"Hensett has to pay for it!"
Zelin squatted down, there was a mess of **** footprints on the ground, and there must have been a fight here. But among the many footprints, he saw that some of the footprints were regularly pointed out of the camp. Judging from the corpses of the Kodwin soldiers in the camp, the soldiers on the mission wore ordinary cloth shoes, and many did not even have helmets. In order to fight in the forest, the blue iron guards wore hard-soled leather boots. There are anti-slip lines on the bottom.
"Roche!"
Zelin shouted.
"What?!"
"Someone left alive." He pointed to the footprints. "There are still people alive in your soldiers."
Roche glanced at the ground, he couldn't see anything.
"Can you see what I can't? Take me to them! I must know what is going on here!"
The footprints stretched all the way out, and the blood-stained traces eventually disappeared by the creek. Across the stream, the wet footprints went to the camp destroyed by the brutality. Zelin, Geralt and Roche walked into the tent cautiously. It was looted here, and obviously, when Hensett ordered the cleaning of the traitors in the camp, everything began to get out of control. The soldiers who stayed robbed everything that could be robbed, no matter who they belonged to. In the end, these footprints disappeared under a bed.
"It's here."
Zelin and Geralt looked at each other. Geralt drew his sword and stood beside the bed, his arm muscles tense, ready to use the sword to deal with enemies who might rush out. Zelin and Roche walked to the sides of the bed, grabbed the edge, and tried to push it aside. Only when Zelin put his hand on the bed, he realized that the situation was not right.
It's too light.
Roche also realized something was wrong.
They overturned the bed.
A hole appeared on the ground, and in the hole there was a wooden ladder leading down. The wooden ladder was very short, and with the help of the moonlight reflected in the gap at the top of the tent, they immediately saw a face wrapped in a blue and white mask underneath.
"Sir?!"
"Koy, are you still alive?! What the **** is going on?"
"Let's talk about it below, sir." The blue iron guard stepped aside. "The above is either an enemy or a monster."
Before going down, Zelin went to find Dandrien and Weisi and asked them to come over together.
Under the wooden ladder is a ladder leading down. After walking about ten meters along the ladder, Ze Lin arrived at a spacious basement. There is a long table in the middle of the basement, and there are about twenty people staying here, which makes this large basement seem a bit crowded. There were Kodwin soldiers, there were frightened women, and thirteen blue-clad iron guard soldiers. Zelin saw that Guxart was among them. He had a scratch on his arm. He was sitting in the corner, tightening the wound with his teeth in a bandage.
"Report to me."
Roche stopped.
"Yes, sir." The blue iron guard saluted Roche. "Hensett’s messenger said that we ruined his plan in the floating port, so he sentenced us to death. Then they attacked us, but we were blocked. The warlock used a spell to trap us in the camp, thinking We had to set off the rocket and burn us to death. Thanks to the demon hunter who solved the spell, we escaped. Here, we happened to meet some rebels who had escaped. They knew a safe stronghold, so we followed them here. Up."
"That makes sense," Zelin said. "He attacked the blue-clad iron guard because we killed Rogliedo at the floating port."
"What?" Dandrien opened his eyes wide. "I thought it was because of me..."
"Do you think Hensett would risk a tearing face with Tamoria against a bard?" Zelin asked rhetorically. "No, you are thinking too much of yourself, Dandrien. He sent a special envoy to the floating port to contact Rorydo. He wants to annex the floating port and expand the territory while Tamoria is in chaos. We are floating. The port killed Rolledo and also killed Hensett's plan. He and Rolledo were in the same group."
Roche squinted.
"But it shouldn't. The letter I reported to Vizima was sent back by Royal Mail. How could Hunsett know?"
Before attacking Rogliedo, Roche sent a letter to Vizima, which detailed what Rogliedo did in the floating port, and a letter from Rogliedo to Codwyn's special envoy as evidence.
"Vizima has a traitor who attacked Triss." Zelin said. "Triss is the king's magic advisor. If someone can attack her with magic spells without her noticing, and transport her to Aden, then it will not be difficult for this person to investigate the source of a letter. "
"Damn it, I shouldn't have thought that a kingkiller can stop this stupid pig from drooling at land that doesn't belong to him! I have to inform Marshal Natali in Vizima and let him mobilize the army to Pang. The border of the Tal River Valley. After Hensett has taken Falken, he will definitely send an army to attack the floating port." Roche sipped fiercely. "Weiss, you take the rest of us and go to the boat at the pier immediately! Return to Vizima and warn Nathalis spies and Kodwin about the invasion. I am worried Nathalis did not see me at all. Letter sent back."
"What about you, Roche?"
"Some of my subordinates died here, and I lost half of my friends all at once! There is also a bad guy who wants to take a town from my motherland. Someone must bleed for it! I want, I want... …" Roche gritted his teeth. "I'm going to kill Hensett first, and then Desmo! Or reverse the order of the two! The Kodwin people want blood to flow!"
"Don't count us, Tamorians, it has nothing to do with us." said the Kodwin rebel knight on the side. "We don't like Hensett. What you are going to do is your business. But if you dare to think a little bit about Cordwin, you don't want to get out of here alive."
Roche ignored them.
"Hensett has gone to Forge, his banner has set off with the army, and I can follow them."
"Roche, you can smash into the Hensett army, and you will see the blood flow in a river, but it will be your blood." Viss persuaded. "He is protected by five thousand soldiers in the barracks. How can you approach him? You can't put yourself in for revenge."
"Trail." Geralt said suddenly. "When Zelin and I came back, we passed a small road by the side of the valley. Hensett used to send mercenaries from the Freedom Corps to investigate, but those soldiers did not report back, so he may not know where. That road should help. We bypassed the Kodwin army and arrived directly at Forge."
