Chapter 144 The jealous Earl rarely fights alone anymore.
"What's this mess? I'm a Redanian. Do you know the laws of Redania better than me?" He shouted, " You are now in the land of Redania. I don’t care where you are nobles. When you come to Redania, you must abide by the laws here!" A
dangerous light flashed in the eyes of House and Levin, and they would never tolerate it. These soldiers spoke nonsense in front of the earl. Lann hadn't given the order yet, but their hands were already on their weapons.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to resist?" The reaction of the triangular-eyed team leader was too intense, or he was very excited. He shouted while retreating, and at the same time commanded the soldiers around him to attack Lann together.
But the soldiers looked at Lann, seemingly hesitant because of House's initial identification as earl.
"What are you afraid of? He is the Count of Cintra, a small country that is about to perish. He is not even comparable to our Baron of Redania!" the leading soldier shouted, "There are only four of them, what are you afraid of?" "
Furthermore Look at his yellow eyes, it's him, he's the demon hunter!"
Hearing his shout, all the Redanian soldiers drew their weapons together.
The captain and everyone on the deck didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the swords shown, they subconsciously screamed and left, leaving a clear space here.
The triangular-eyed captain seemed to have a chance of winning, and said proudly: "Don't be afraid, this Earl from Sintra. But you'd better come with us to avoid getting hurt." Lann smiled slightly and tilted his head to signal
. After a while House.
"Woooo!" The dull horn sound suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention. Forty fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the ship's room and below the deck, crowding the deck.
Their steps were neat, their eyes were cold, and their swords stood out. They stared at the Redanian soldiers who were talking nonsense.
"I'm not afraid, but there are only eight of you, so you should be afraid." The
leading soldier was dumbfounded. He stiffly turned his gaze back to Lan and swallowed. Before he could speak, there was a sound. Only the hand glowing with white light came into his eyes.
[Yaxi Dharma Seal].
"Are you real Redanian soldiers? Are you looking for a demon hunter? Why?" The
leading Redanian soldier suddenly became confused, his eyes were dull, and he muttered unconsciously: " We are soldiers of Redania, and a warlock gave us a sum of money to help capture a demon hunter on this ship."
Lann sneered: "You only need this few people to deal with me? Is that enough?"
The soldier continued to answer: "We only know that he is a demon hunter."
Oh, it seems that they have been tricked. This group of soldiers confidently thought that their team could easily defeat the "demon hunter". As a result, Unexpectedly, he was facing a demon hunter count with his own army.
Moreover, Lann estimated that the people who asked them to take action did not know him well, and it was mostly a test for these soldiers to come over. He did not expect that Lann would have so many soldiers with him.
That would basically rule out several of the king's intelligence agencies. With their knowledge of themselves, they would never do such a stupid thing. Since the Redanian soldier said he was a "warlock," Lan couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.
Seeing Lan take action, the other Redanian soldiers looked at each other, especially when the leader explained what he had done in detail, they even screamed in horror.
"Magic, it's magic. This demon hunter knows magic!"
Lann didn't put too much magic power into the Yakxi seal, so the captain of the triangular-eyed team woke up after a few breaths. He was stunned for a long time. Only then did he realize what he had experienced.
I have always heard the names of warlocks and demon hunters, but until I actually confront these extraordinary beings, no one knows what kind of methods they have. Redania's leading soldier was pale at the moment, and he felt like he was on the verge of life and death.
Eight people faced off against forty people who were fully armed, and they had no ability to resist. Lan didn't want to bleed randomly, so he motioned to the Cintra soldiers around him to go up and tie these people up.
"I don't want to kill Redanian soldiers in Redanian territory. It would be very troublesome to explain that way." Lann said lightly, "So you'd better not make unnecessary resistance..." But not yet
. After Lan finished speaking, the ship seemed to have hit something and suddenly began to shake violently.
The Cintra cavalry, who were accustomed to fighting on horseback, suddenly became unstable. The carts and goods brought by many traders began to shake violently as the deck tilted, and a "plop-plop" sound of falling into the water could even be heard.
On the lower level of the ship, the livestock areas filled with cattle, sheep, and pigs all heard loud screams, and the sounds were full of panic. But then there was an incredibly loud neigh, and the animals became quiet again.
"What's going on? Did it hit the rocks?" A passenger shouted in horror. The captain was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly pushed the helmsman away and took the helm himself. But then he discovered that things were not simple.
The ship did not yaw. This was an old route that had been traveled more than a dozen times. There was no way there were rocks.
When the people on the deck collapsed, the Redanian soldiers who had been riding boats in the Delta all year round performed much better than the Sintra people.
The leading Redanian soldier looked around slyly, and suddenly saw Shani standing among the Cintra people.
She was the only woman in the group, but the only civilian without armor or weapons.
He made a few concealed gestures towards his men, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly, the squad leader took advantage of the Cintra soldier who was guarding him and spat on the opponent's face. Then he hit the Cintra soldier whose sight was blocked with a forceful bump along the slope of the deck. It turned into a gourd and almost fell into the river.
As he rushed toward Shani, he shouted: "If the commander finds out what we are doing, we will be hanged. If we seize the hostages, we can live!" All the Redanian
soldiers in this situation They stood up together in an instant, and the people of Cintra were able to break free due to their carelessness. Fortunately, the swords had been confiscated long ago, otherwise there would be no casualties.
Captain Redania rushed towards Shani with red eyes, and what was in front of him was his last life-saving straw.
Shani was so frightened that she turned pale. She was already shaken by the shaking of the boat and fell to the ground.
But before she could scream, an arrow flew from nowhere and nailed the squad leader's waist. The archer may have initially aimed at the neck, but missed due to the rocking of the ship.
But it doesn't matter, the squad leader has fallen to the ground wailing at this moment, and there is enough time for the archer to shoot the second and third arrows.
"Help!" The captain fell to the ground and wailed, looking at his companions with hopeful eyes, but he could only see seven neat figures from behind.
All the Redanian soldiers chose to jump off the deck, trying to escape using their water skills.
They don't have any rights and property like the squad leader. They are all big soldiers. Now the army is in chaos. At worst, they can start over in another place. Why bother to survive surrounded by more than forty long swords?
Shani was lying on the ground before she could react, and then she was picked up by a strong big hand. Through the corner of her vision, she found that her face was pressed against a lion seal; when she looked up, it was brighter than the sun. blond hair.
"I said that the soldiers of Cintra will protect you, and I never break my promise."
Behind her, Milva lowered her bow string with a grimace. She was not fighting hard just to see this scene.
Captain Redania looked at all this with resentful eyes, knowing that nothing could be done. He gritted his teeth and broke off the arrow shaft stuck in his waist. He was about to swim away like his men who jumped into the river, but suddenly he heard a series of familiar voices screaming.
"Ah! There is a monster in the water!" the sailors on the deck suddenly shouted.
Lan put Shani down and walked a few steps to the edge of the deck to look down.
I saw that the originally green and dirty river water was now rolling with waves of blood. A Redanian soldier struggled in the river, but was then dragged down by something unknown, leaving only a few stumps floating up. . Another wave rolled in, and soon there were no stumps left.
The Redanian soldiers were frightened, and they hurriedly tried to get back to the ship. They grabbed the ropes and anchors and tried to climb up. They wailed loudly and begged the people on the deck to lend something to help them. A handful.
But the monster under the water seemed not satisfied after eating a soldier, and its eyes were fixed on these noisy prey.
The river surface suddenly exploded, and in the flying water, an insectoid monster with pimples, rough skin, and a length of four meters appeared. Its appearance was like a tree stump covered with algae, with ten claws and round teeth. saw.
It stretched out two long, rough green claws covered with spikes like the forelimbs of a praying mantis, grabbed a Redanian soldier who was climbing up, and dragged him into the water in the blink of an eye.
The people on the deck who saw all this screamed as if they were possessed. This monster hit the bottom of the ship like a rock before. They couldn't imagine that they were in the same waters as this monster.
Only Shani seems to have gained a sense of security from Lann. Not only is she not afraid, her eyes even shine: "It's an arthropod! Insect, it looks like it might be Amphipod! Megagnathia!" Lann's
expression He solemnly said: "This is the dragonfly monster."
The redanian captain who was lying on the deck had a pale face. He quietly approached a Cintra soldier, then fell to the ground and tried to pretend to be a prisoner again, but was immediately captured. The iron gauntlet's fist hit his face hard, causing the corners of his nose, mouth, and eyebrows to blossom.
