The creak of the fallen trees echoed in the camp. The shadow of the soldier swinging his axe was reflected by the flames in the dense woods, but at some point, the sound of felling trees near the camp suddenly calmed down. It seemed that it was only a moment when there was only a bonfire burning near the camp, and it was emitted when the wood was burned. The crackling sound. For a moment, all the members of the Knights in the camp stopped their work. They opened their eyes and stared at each other, as if they wanted to see something from their colleagues.

"Bless the eternal fire, what's the matter?"

They drew their weapons and looked around. The surrounding forests seemed to become darker. The light of the torches became dimmer, and the surroundings became cold and depressed, as if the darkness was extinguishing the flames and was about to swallow them all.

They looked around, but there was nothing nearby, no figures of logging, and no movement. Someone saw the nearby bushes. The water droplets on the bushes were flowing down the leaf veins, but at the end, the water droplets stopped. The thin **** frost covered it, and the water droplets were like inlaid on the leaves. Pearl, reflecting the faint firelight of the camp.

Then, a ghostly shadow appeared behind a knight, and a cold sickle appeared on the knight’s neck like a figure. Before the latter could react, the sickle struck hard, and the knight fell silent. On the ground. But before the knight's corpse fell, the black figure of the ghost disappeared into the air again.

"There are monsters! Near the flames!"

These knights moved closer to the bonfire, staring at the surroundings and behind their colleagues vigilantly, for fear that another ghost would appear to kill them before they knew it.

"What the **** is going on!"

"It must be the conspiracy of the mutants. They have brought the demon spirits!" They stared around like frightened birds. "Don't worry, these monsters dare not get close to the flames! We will wait until tomorrow morning and go back to report. The mutants must have planned to summon their monsters. The minions are attacking! Wait till tomorrow, wait till dawn..."

No one will know what they plan to do after dawn. The eternal fire brazier they were leaning on was suddenly overturned, and the flame spread along the flowing oil spread on the white rose knights, and then burned on the completed or unfinished siege equipment, and ignited again. A bigger flame. Their alert black ghosts flashed nearby, and Frid’s gray eyes looked at the enemies who had fallen into the fire without a wave, and then disappeared again.

"Enjoy your flames."

Whether these knights can enjoy the flames, the people in the camp must feel bad.

"Three camps were destroyed!"

Early in the morning, the knights in the camp of the White Rose Knights were awakened by the roar. But the roar not only awakened the knights who had become listless due to the fire and the night, but also flew a group of birds resting among the canopies of branches and trees.

"We need more help. These mutants and their monster minions have begun to attack us actively. We must summon all the knights!" The roar of the missionary almost shook the dust on the tent. It is estimated that if a doctor sees it This person with a bandage on his whole body can still have so much energy to yell, and it will definitely be regarded as a medical subject worthy of research. However, the reason is naturally very simple. If the mission is not successful, it will become the local chief priest. It is difficult for the church to find so many people who are eager to preach. After all, the floating port is on the most important river transportation channel in the north, and becoming the chief priest here will naturally get a good return.

"Could it be said that the heroic knights of the Knights can't even deal with one or two mutants?! What are you waiting for, gather all the knights, and then advance directly to the lair of the mutants, and everything here can be resolved? ! We have been waiting too long."

The missionary swallowed the rest of the sentence.

Delayed too long, naturally there will be someone else trying to take his place. He paid so much for this and was burned. If he didn't get anything, it would be difficult for him to continue to go up in the church in the future.

He coughed twice, and walked to the side of the knight commander, "Assemble slowly, when can I start an attack? Wait until the mutants bring their monsters out of the mountains?! What are you waiting for! The church does it every year? Can the knights’ treasury donate so many gold coins, can’t it deal with less than ten mutants?"

"We can't just defy the king's order. Your Majesty ordered the armed forces in Tamoria to assemble to the front." The knight commander wiped his sweat and learned the lesson from the last time. This time he knew that the saber should be replaced with a slightly shorter one. . What happened recently made this bald knight haggard a lot, although he came to the floating port in only two weeks." But don’t worry, these mutants are afraid of the Knights. They are just lingering, everything is going according to plan, please Stay safe, and in another four days, when these mutants are at their weakest, we can easily destroy their lair."

"And that **** witch!"

"Yes, yes, there is that witch. We will catch her." The bald knight promised quickly

"But four days is too long, two days, two days later, attack, let these **** mutants taste the power of eternal fire!" the missionary said angrily, "Also, let your soldiers wear armor. , Assemble to a camp, and if they dare to attack again, they will catch those mutants. You have hundreds of people. Can't you still deal with one or two mutant monsters?"

"But if so..."

The bald knight also wanted to refute that for example, a large number of people gathering in the rain forest would attract beasts and monsters to attack, or they might directly tell the enemy about their full strength, but before they could say it, he was choked back by the missionary.

"Under the blessing of eternal fire, are you afraid? Or are you unwilling to believe in eternal fire? This is for the entire human race, not one or two short-sighted wars!"

The news of the floating port was written in a report, which was taken downstream along the Ponta River to Island and Novigrad. On the second day of the report's arrival, at the headquarters of the Knights in Island, many assembled knights led their war horses and headed along the mountain road to the pier near the Ponta River. A long line continued to spread. Over a hundred meters. But unlike the other troops marching in the direction, their direction is not the southern front, but the opposite.

It's just that, in the dock village of their destination, there is a pair of eyes staring at them, and at the same time, there is a telescope that emits a faint blue magical blue light.

"The value of this thing is more than a thousand Oren." The pale detective shook his head and adjusted the angle of the telescope slightly. "Dear partner. I hope you can pay the price." He said to himself. With.

Chapter 645 Preface

On the second day, someone in the floating port discovered that the hotel in their town had been packaged, and the area near the town wall was cleared of a lot of open space. A large number of soldiers appeared outside the town, as if it was just a moment. , A bunch of soldiers emerged from the floating port. These soldiers crowded into a camp. Even if it was separated from the outer wall of the town more than two meters high, the residents of Square Hill could hear the noise there.

Of course, there are also flyers.

Flyers of the Eternal Fire were almost covered with signs, corners of streets, entrances to outer walls, and under the gallows in the square. It contains propaganda of eternal fire, such as the description of the demon hunter.

It is precisely because of the existence of these mutants that so many monsters appear near the floating port. Because of the behavior and residence of mutants, many monsters are attracted. Mutants attract monsters to the ground and then kill them. This will anger more wild monsters, so that these monsters will crawl out and attack humans. Just like this, mutants can defraud mankind's money. Only when mutants are completely eliminated can those monsters disappear and people can live in stability.

Of course, for this argument, several floating port townspeople expressed their views very well.

"I guess these people of the eternal fire are probably from other worlds." The dwarf blacksmith threw the flyers he picked up into the furnace, and said to the demon hunter. Paper can just be used to make a fire. Dry paper is a good fire guide. "Or think my IQ is the same as theirs. How did they come up with such a logic? Kill the monsters, and there will be no monsters attack. Up?"

The mayor of Floating Port is very cunning. Bennard Rolledo has not given any new orders after that conflict. The guards of Floating Port Town stayed in their posts as always, and would not hunt demons. Hunters interrogated and turned a blind eye to the increasing number of soldiers and knights of the Knights. Since he wanted to stay out of the matter, Zelin would not go to set himself an enemy again.

"Say the same thing a hundred times, maybe they believed it first."

Zelin shrugged. He sat in the blacksmith's shop and looked at the soldiers walking in twos and threes from the town outside. Frid's attack worked, and the effect was much better than Zelin expected. He originally expected it to slow down the construction speed of the Knights' siege equipment, causing panic among them. But in fact, the Knights directly abandoned all the construction sites in the forest, and gathered everyone together. Anyone with common sense knows that building siege equipment in five places at the same time is definitely better than making attacks in one place. City equipment is much faster.

Moreover, he was originally worried about whether the Knights would ambush another group of soldiers elsewhere, using the large troops as bait to cover the ambushing elite soldiers from unexpectedly launching attacks. It just seems that he overestimated these people now. After the Knights abandoned the camp, they did not know at all to destroy the traces. Now Zelin only needs to walk in the nearby forest to determine how many camps they have set up in the forest in the past.

If it were not for the demon hunters to clear out the many monster dens near the floating port this year, it is estimated that this large camp would attract the attention of many monsters the next night. But Zelin will not regret this. This is what the demon hunters should do. If it were not, they would not have such a good reputation here in the Pontar Valley.

Of course, most of the credit goes to Gnaiya.

A general camp directly allows the demon hunters to understand the general strength of the knights. About five hundred heavily armed soldiers, plus some knights. According to the previous understanding, there are still about 150 knights that the White Rose Knights can summon now. However, it is certain that the Knights did not prepare expensive anti-magical metal equipment for these ordinary soldiers.

Of course, preparing and not preparing now seem to have no meaning in Zelin's eyes.

Originally there were hundreds of official knights in the Knights, but the war came, and the Knights were named to participate in the battle with the Imperial Legion. It is said that when Foltest’s order was first transmitted to the Knights’ headquarters, the Knights were in the same afternoon. There was an extra group of retired knights. It seemed that only overnight, many knights contracted rheumatism, or were unable to retreat on horseback and swords because of injuries to their legs and arms. Zelin really wanted to know what the king's expression would be when the Knights' reply was reached in front of Foltest on the front line of Maribo.

After all, becoming a white rose knight is not like the ranger knight of Towson or the knight of the duchy. You need to possess virtue and honor and be sworn in front of the Duchess Anna to get the title of knight. You only need enough money to get a suit of armor and the title of a knight.

They are not even as honorable as the knights who serve for the local lord.

"Be careful, they have a lot of people, and they also brought horses. I saw their boat at the dock yesterday, and they were pulling the ballista chassis off the boat." The blacksmith looked out through the shanty of the forge. , Lowered his voice and said to the demon hunter, "They probably transported the ballista to the camp. Are you looking for a chance to kill the big guy? I can try to find out the news for you."

"Please, you are a dwarf, they won't let you near the camp."

Zelin shook his head. He was willing to chat with the dwarf blacksmith, but that didn't mean that others would be willing, especially those of the White Rose Knights.

"Of course it's not me." The blacksmith tore open the flyer he picked up in his hand, tore it to pieces and threw it on the firewood in the stove. "I have an elf friend called Sevik. He is a nearby hunter. He built it in the forest. Several observation decks, one of which happens to be able to see everything in the human camps from above. I really hope to help you, I’m not a fool, these guys haven’t come to smash my shop because they want To deal with you, if you are defeated, we will definitely be unlucky then."

"I believe this is useful, don't worry, they are not that big a threat."

Ballista, on the rugged mountain road? They really thought that the demon hunters had already hid in the castle, they would let them set up a ballista outside the castle, and then blast open the city gate little by little?

Obviously, not everyone in these knights has no brains. If only the remaining large camp is used to make rush cars, time will be delayed for a while. If you just build a simple ladder and rely mainly on the ballista to deal with the city gate, the efficiency will be much faster. They must be planning to launch an offensive at the end of the month before the start of a new wave of chaotic energy.

But since they planned to do this, why did Zelin destroy the tools they used to make mistakes before they realized they had made a mistake.

Chapter 646 Legal Approach

The Orion Observatory mentioned by the dwarf blacksmith is on the edge of the cliff above the floating harbor. Zelin found the hunter, and Sevik was willing to help him. In fact, in the past, the hunter also sold herbs and materials to the demon hunter.

But Zelin really wanted to see another person.

"Long time no see, my client."

Among the magic lenses dedicated to special clients of Curdin & Finn Law Firm, Curdin, a short, thin lawyer with pale gray hair and pale skin like a vampire, appeared on the other side of the lens. The lens blocks the lawyer's background very well, so that anyone who contacts him can't figure out where the lawyer is actually from the scene behind him. Since he and Finn were targeted, the lawyer has never reopened a law firm anywhere.
