The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 350
"I remember that there should be a messenger to tell you?" Zelin sighed, Lambert will always have this attitude. "Why do you mix with people from the cat school? These people from the cat school have changed. Become a killer who accepts hired homicide."
"But Aiden isn't." Lambert retorted. "I guess the person who is going to deal with you has already been settled? Or do you have so much free time to stand in front of the door and yell bored? Didn't come here? Where are the poisonous snakes? Are you hiding in the cave and dare not come out? Tell me, who is coming to trouble?"
"Lambert." Zelin said solemnly. "I hope you can guarantee that you don't become the first troublemaker before the troublemaker appears. Iskel hasn't come over yet? He should You won't fall into the pit halfway, will you?"
Zelin shrugged, he really didn't know if it was good or bad.
Chapter 635: Conspiracy and Tactics
The king recognized the official nature of the demon hunters' activities in Temalia.
Although for most people, this has no impact on their lives, it cannot be that the sign at the entrance of the village is divided into two from one side. Someone came and told them that if they encounter a commission from a demon hunter that is urgently needed, such as encountering a day demon When you see a wandering werewolf or messy elemental fairy in the forest, you can post a commission on the new sign, prepare the coins, and someone will solve the trouble in two days.
Of course, this situation is now limited to villages and towns near Mahakam. For more areas of Tamoria, they had long forgotten the news brought by the messenger at that time. A few demon hunters are still too few for the entire kingdom, and the war allows more monsters hidden in the forest and underground to crawl out. Sin breeds ghost dogs, and the evil spirits degenerate into monsters. War will not only bring food. Ghouls and demons.
But for others, this may not be good news.
"This is ridiculous. The king will give those **** mutants the same status as the Knights!"
The iron glove was slapped on the table, shaking the water in the cup on the side. Sunlight came in through a vertical window on the side, and it happened to be on the flag of the Knights hanging on the wall. "This is a ridiculous and unreasonable order. This is an insult to the Temorian Knights. We should go and tell the king together. , What kind of mistake did he commit! What does this mean? Put us in the same position as mutants?"
"Quiet, Knight Thales, you are still so impulsive for so many years." A man who looked a little old sat on a chair and touched the carved armrest. "Can you find the king? You don't even know he is now." Was it in Vizima or Maribo. As a king but running around the battle line like a common soldier, what kind of decision can you expect him to make? Since I learned that he will marry himself As soon as my sister will keep the freak daughter, I won’t be surprised if he makes a ridiculous decision next."
"Be careful, the freak in your mouth is now called Princess Yada. And it's all because of a mutant named Geralt."
For a while, the room fell silent again.
It took a while before someone replied.
"We must set things right. Look at what those freaks have done. Several spies have no news. They are still setting up wooden boards in those villages. If there is a group of mutants, another group of mutants, or non-humans, can be created. One day, the representatives of the Knights will sit with the elves on the royal council? Or will the human merchants bend down and bow to the dwarf nobles? This is the human world, and humans used blood and sweat from these freaks hundreds of years ago. Now, these monsters want to retake the land that was taken back? They are dreaming! Don’t forget, after hundreds of years, another elven kingdom has appeared!"
Yes, Baihua Valley. Or called Dole Branathan.
Unlike the dwarf dominance of Mahakam, this is a truly independent kingdom, a country that sits on an equal footing with other northern countries. It is hard to imagine that human beings should send messengers to the elves and bow down to their queen. The elves dare to call themselves nobles.
The times are going backwards, and those ancient races are planning to overthrow humans.
"Gather the knights to attack the mutants' castles? Destroy them?" Another fat knight sipped. He didn't wear a breastplate. Although he was a knight, he was dressed like a businessman. "Yesterday he was the third king." The messenger from came to the garrison of the Knights and asked the Knights to assemble to Brenner's garrison."
"You refused?"
"I said, the assembly of the knights will take time." The man hummed. "Why doesn't Foltest let his mutants go to fight the men in black? The number of these mutants is not large, we have a chance. Get rid of them. There is news that they have begun to cultivate new monsters and transform humans into their kind. We must act. The Church of Eternal Fire can provide a lot of support to solve them before they become stronger."
"You're right, but we can't assemble openly, otherwise the king's messenger will not come next time."
"It's okay." In the end, the older man said, "The church can provide enough funds and ships. We will not lack gold to deal with the mutants. We will separate the armor from the people and bring them. Aden and Livia are hacked. Yiren is destroyed and there are refugees everywhere. They will be willing to get a job that can earn a lot of money. Let these mutants and non-humans go back to their deep mountains and old forests! This is human land, and they are not qualified to own it. But is our source accurate? That is a mutant after all."
"That's just a killer. As long as the money is enough, he can kill his own kind. But how many people have we assembled?"
"About one hundred and fifty people. We found three camps in the forest. They are definitely still gathering." Looking at the three places George drew on the map, Zelin sighed softly.
The people of the church and the knights have begun to hide in places near Mahakam. They are very smart and have not entered the mountains, but there are not many safe places to hide in the forest. They will face the harassment of monsters at any time. These people will not wait. Too long.
"If we were planning a knight to lead a team of soldiers, they might be planning to gather a thousand people?"
"They can't have that many people." Zelin shook his head. "A thousand people, I think the Anglers and evil ghosts in the forest must be very happy. They should be equipped with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers. White Rose The number of knights that can be mobilized is no more than one thousand."
"But rely on this castle to defend against the attacks of hundreds of soldiers?"
"No, this is not a good option."
Regardless of whether it can be blocked, this castle is under the cliff. Facing the enemy's siege, defending here is undoubtedly putting oneself on the road to death from the beginning. If the Knights can wait for more than ten days, Zelin can try to seek the help of some wizards, whether it is the remaining spellcasters of the Seneid Order or the Winterhold wizards of Skyrim, they accept employment. But instead of putting hope on the other person, he still hopes that he can have the initiative.
"But we can't give up here."
"Of course not." Zelin looked at the map, and his gaze moved to another place. Outside Ailand City, the headquarters of the White Rose Knights "But compared to passive defense, we can be more active."

Chapter 636: Places Illuminated by Fire
The camp where the altar of eternal fire is erected is particularly bright in the floating port under the night. When night fell, most of the floating port had fallen into silence. The thick log walls could block most of the sounds, even the screams and groans on the second floor of the floating port hotel. The fire shines on the dense bushes around the knights camp, but makes the shaking shadows even more gloomy. The wandering ghost is waiting for pedestrians to pass by, dragging the victim into the grass.
"Your Excellency, those mutants hid back to their castle, they fled the town, and there is no sign of coming back."
The air in the tent was dull, and the rain forest was so humid in both winter and summer. A thunderstorm intensified the dampness. These knights took off their helmets or hung their back coat cloaks outside. This is not a thankful task. Go deep into a newly opened town and go to places with few human inhabitants to deal with non-human races and mutants. It is far worse than patrolling in Novigrad, Tritog, or Vizima. Much. The former not only has little benefit, but also faces mutant monsters that may kill people at any time. The latter is not only comfortable in the environment, but also a lot of coins can be found from the hands of non-human races.
Just take out a part of the treasury handed over to the church and the knights, and this is spreading the doctrine of eternal fire.
But it is a pity that not everyone can get good errands. After all, there are more and more sons of loan sharks or local gangs in the Knights, and good errands are getting less and less, especially in Hundred Flowers Valley. After the establishment of the Elf Kingdom, many elves who lived outside began to return with their families.
"We must burn every mutant in the square! Ah! Damn! What kind of witchcraft is this!" The burned missionary was tied with several bandages, and he waved away every few words he said. Mosquitoes, or howls. A priest who followed helped him to dissipate his heat. "And that **** dwarf in the town, this evil monster born in the dark, dare to spit at me! Let the eternal fire purify him!"
"The Knights of the White Rose will ensure that the eternal fire's brilliance is transmitted to any corner, and will defeat any monsters that want to block the light. Please rest assured, priest Joseph, these mutants are already scared." A Knight of the White Rose Said to the missionaries, "They are afraid of our power, so they can only hide in their lair and tremble. When the knights' power is assembled, we will attack, destroy their stronghold in one fell swoop, and completely burn down the evil here."
"No, you can't be so slow, Floating Port, start from Floating Port!" The priest gritted his teeth, but then he pulled to the burned area and started groaning again. "Look at how many freaks there are, these Non-human races and mutants are in the same group! Knights, you must find out the traitors who come here to deliver messages to the mutants on the mountain before attacking! Burn them to death and give other non-humans a warning to tell them who is here. Master!"
A cold wind blows the flames on the altar of eternal fire in the camp to tremble, and the shadow of the knight in the camp is reflected on the ground like a shaking ghost.
A white rose knight watched the town not far away and shook his head to get rid of the sleepiness inside.
"Hi, where did Knight Thales go?" he asked the other knight, "I haven't seen him tonight."
"He's in the town. I guess he wants to try his hand or find one or two prostitutes?" Another knight pulled the cord at the neckline of the armor away. Damn monsters, everywhere, I really want to put a torch on it all here. Oh, I miss Novigrad more and more. Compared with this, it’s heaven. You can smell perfume on the street. …Hi, do you smell anything? There seems to be a fragrance in the wind just blowing?"
"Wake up, don't live in your dreams. What is there except the smell of salty fish and the smell of those monsters?" The knight just thought of bending over by the river and holding a handful of water to wash his face, but just saw the town in the distance. Min is convenient by the river, and he retracted his hand brilliantly. "There are too many non-human races here. I really don't know why the people here can bear it."
"This place makes me feel wrong. I can hear monsters calling when I sleep." The knight who was still sitting at the entrance of the camp wiped off his sweat annoyingly. Mutants? As long as the mutant castle is destroyed by us, and then a few non-humans who are conspiring to be burnt to death, the rest of the freaks here will know that they will stop. Don't drink the water here, the elves will definitely poison us. We When to attack? Who knows what those mutants will plot in their castle."
"Don't worry, they can't escape." Another knight walked over and said, "It is estimated that within seven days, all our fighters will be assembled. Then, we will burn their lair on fire. There are so many monsters here, they must be those As long as there are monsters, the townspeople will ask them for help and hand over the money to them. Kill those mutants, and the remaining monsters will escape, and then get rid of the nonsense with the mutants. Humans, we can prove to those good people who is protecting them."
"Yes, the eternal fire has not been shining here for too long, we need us to spread its light..." Before this person finished speaking, the eternal fire altar in the camp fell to the ground with a crash, and the flames inside went smoothly. With hot oil spilling on the ground, the fire light instantly illuminates the camp, and it shines bright red.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
In an instant, the camp was boiling, and a group of people rushed out of the tent. Inside the largest tent, the knights and priests who were still negotiating also walked out of the tent to check what was happening outside.
"What the **** is going on?!"
"It's the wind, it's the wind! Witchcraft must have blown this thing down!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up!"
"You idiots, hurry up and lift the altar!" the missionary said angrily. "Don't talk nonsense, there is anti-magical metal here. No magic can work in the face of eternal fire. It must be one of you who accidentally hit it. Turned over." There are several boxes of anti-magic metal in the camp. These items are expensive, but they are definitely worth the money. Otherwise, a sorcerer or wizard may solve the camp with magic in a place that no one knows.
But then, more flames rose up elsewhere in the camp. This time not only the altar, but many tents, especially the tents storing food, were swallowed by the flames.
