Chapter 201 Is this also the gryphon’s trick?
Henselt was in shock, but he seemed to have come to his senses at this time, and shouted angrily: "Lannister!"
"You actually let these Scoia'tael go, without killing a single elf! All my guards are dead. Is this the only result?!"
Lan En gasped and looked over with cold eyes. Although there was not much blood on his body, he still had the aura of his great power.
Henselt immediately felt as if the source of the sound had been cut off in his throat, and couldn't help but take a step back.
After hearing Henselt's accusation, Miwei was even more unceremonious: "That's enough, Henselt! He fought ten elf assassins for you alone, one sword against ten swords, and he saved your life!" What else do you want?"
At this moment, other kings also slowly walked out from behind the protection of the knights.
"It's twelve weapons." King Demavi of Aedirn sighed, "I have never seen such a swordsman, nor such a reliable ally."
Henselt snorted a few times and fell silent.
Lan retracted his gaze, adjusted his breathing and looked outside the fortress. He saw flames and strong winds at the edge of the forest not far away. From time to time, there were the explosions of alchemy bombs and the flash of broken golden light.
That was the direction of the ancient deer-headed spirit, and it was also the direction Leisuo and the others headed.
Lan turned around and walked away with his sword in hand. The red-brown gryphon cloak rustled fiercely in the evening wind, and the knights surrounding him spontaneously made way for him.
"Lan, where are you going?" "
Continue to help! None of these monsters will leave here alive tonight!"
...... Not long after humans arrived on this continent, they discovered the virgin forest. There is a magical creature inside. Living next to it, no matter how ferocious beasts are, will become docile, and all tree fruits will become full. Over time, the creature became the center of local belief in some places. Farmers living near their woods would bring them sacrificial offerings, usually rabbits or birds, but human blood was also heard. This creature is called a Woodland Leprechaun, and it also has a more widely known name - [Deer-headed Spirit]. The category belongs to [remnants]. In many legends, deer-headed spirits are kind-hearted characters who help lost travelers find their way through the forest or rescue them from bandits. Unfortunately, this legend has no basis in reality. In fact, in the eyes of the Deer Head Spirit, humans are just a source of energy, no different from other animals. The deer-headed spirit drains the life force of nearby humans until only their shells remain. When humans enshrine the deer-headed spirits as "gods", the deer-headed spirits are also keeping them in captivity. However, as humans have gradually deepened their exploration of the forest, respect for the unknown has also diminished accordingly. Humans gathered wood, built stone dwellings, and spread like a plague, infuriating the forest and its inhabitants. Therefore, "god" has become a "remnant" among monsters. Of course, in some places far away from civilization, there are still villages maintaining ancient beliefs. The ancient gods who feed the forest day after day. And these deer-headed spirits that have survived from ancient times will accumulate extremely terrifying power, and even monster scholars have opened up a new category for them - [ancient deer-headed spirits]. They have innate magical abilities and can heal and control crows, wolves, and even small monsters such as evil spirits and ghouls; they can create magic totems around their territory, strengthening themselves just like a warlock building a mage tower. The power; they can also leave a black magic curse on humans and be reborn from the cursed person after death. The monster in front of everyone is an old ancient deer-headed spirit. It is said that in ancient times, deer-headed spirits seldom left their territory. How did the Scoia'tael do it? They dispatched half of their people to kill all the life in the forest that might be the resurrection seeds of the ancient deer-headed spirit, destroyed all the magic totems of the ancient deer-headed spirit, and also destroyed water sources and plants in the opponent's territory as much as possible. The ancient monster never gave up on them. Good news: It has now been lured out of its territory by the Scoia'tael, the totem has been destroyed, and its power has been weakened to a certain extent. Bad news: It's angry now. Bad news two: It's not the only one who's angry. There was a noise in the sky, and a knight wearing a unicorn crest drew his bowstring against the night sky. However, to his surprise, what came his way was a large group of crows that looked like dark clouds! Even a whole team of archers could only be blinded in the face of this situation. The knight shot an arrow in vain and penetrated the bodies of the two crows. Then he was carried flying by the dark cloud of crows, and was smashed into the soil, falling to pieces. When he was about to call for help, the steel mask was suddenly lifted off by several claws. The intelligence of crows is extremely high, even inferior to that of uneducated children. Not to mention that they are controlled by more ancient and intelligent beings. They are not helpless against the enemies hiding in iron jars. The knight let out a horrifying scream, and then was gagged again. "Woo" After a few breaths, he stopped struggling. The crow flapped its wings and left the knight's body, and then a group of ghouls and wild wolves pounced on it and tore the rare human flesh. They refused to give in to each other and stared at each other, and they were about to bite each other in the middle of the battlefield. "Boom--" The sound of a thousand-year-old tree cracking and falling to the ground resounded in the battlefield. The source of the sound was the ancient deer-headed spirit. In the body of a monster, he made the sound of a natural disaster. In this dull and loud sound, the beasts and monsters baring their teeth at each other, like soldiers who heard the horn, suddenly stopped fighting, turned around and immediately rejoined the battlefield, rushing towards humans. On the frontline battlefield where they were in close contact with these monsters, the people on the Cintra side hung far behind, forming a sharp contrast with these panicked soldiers. They worked in groups of three or five, using bows and arrows to deal with the charging monsters from a distance, or they cooperated tacitly to kill wild wolves, without even getting too much blood on their bodies. "How long do you think it will take them to react and organize a formation to kill the ancient deer-headed spirit?" After hearing Kolgrim's question, Leisuo thought for a while: "It won't be long, these monsters just fought an army. It's just a surprise. There will be a lot of casualties, but it will definitely not collapse. I'm more worried that this ancient deer-headed spirit will escape halfway." Milva frowned when he heard this: "It is the prey named by the earl. , can’t run away!” The female archer grabbed the mahogany bow that was as long as her height, and her body strengthened by the [Follower] system burst out with amazing power. The "clack" sound of the bow strings clearly reached the ears of the demon hunters. Although they could not fully draw the strings like Lan, the sound was still terrifying enough. "Is this still human strength? Are these arms filled with beef tendons?" Kolgrim muttered. Milva was exerting almost all of her body. In order to make it easier to draw the bow, only her left arm was wrapped with an arm guard, and her right thumb was covered with a leather thumb, leaving both arms exposed. The slender but strong lines on them were clearly visible, like a female leopard.
That figure is rare among female warriors, but it doesn't look like it can draw a bow and arrow of this weight.
"Forget Lan, why are his attendants so abnormal?"
The bow will not recognize that its master is abnormal. As long as it has enough power, it will shoot arrows.
The distance of a hundred steps passed in an instant, and the special arrow shaft withstood huge kinetic energy and meandered forward in the air like a barracuda, but then it seemed as if it had hit a rock wall and completely shattered.
The ancient deer-headed spirit lowered its head in a very anthropomorphic manner, dug out the half-buried steel arrowhead from its chest and threw it aside. The wounds on its wooden body instantly recovered as before.
"What's going on? Another immortal? Why do we always encounter opponents like this recently?" Milva frowned, drew his bow and nocked another arrow, "I don't know if shooting in the head will work, it looks like... Made of bones..."
Leisuo reached out and put his hand on Milva's bow, shaking his head at the female archer in her confused eyes.
"The ancient deer-headed spirit cannot be hurt by steel. Only our special [residue oil] or silver sword can effectively attack it, or you can use magic-blocking gold arrows." Milva showed a ridiculous expression
: "How could I have such a precious thing?"
Leisuo heard this and handed over a bottle of sword oil and asked Milva to apply it on the arrow: "I know that Lann has special magic-blocking gold arrows. With your archery skills, It's worth equipping. You can ask Lan for it and show the corresponding strength. With his character, he will definitely not be stingy in giving it to you, and will even praise you. Don't underestimate yourself too much." Milva was stunned: "Yes
. Your Majesty the Earl...won't reject me?"
Lei Suo showed a strange expression: "I am referring to the magic-blocking golden arrow..."
Shaking his head and ignoring the thoughtful female archer, Lei Suo turned around and called the snake sect hunters. Demon: "The monsters brought out by the ancient deer-headed spirit have been almost wiped out by the army. Let's go!" "
Okay!"*3.
The demon hunters drew out their silver swords that had been smeared with sword oil and poison, and slithered through the gaps between the Kaedwen soldiers like snakes, approaching the ancient deer-headed demon silently. It's just that the soldiers didn't dare to approach the ancient deer-headed spirit who stood upright and was more than four meters tall. They just used bows and arrows to test it from a distance, and the demon hunters soon had to be exposed to the enemy.
Before everyone in the Snake Sect could use tactics to get close to the enemy, they saw a flash of green light in front of their eyes, and the figure of the ancient deer-headed spirit suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few entangled tree roots in place.
"Not good!"
The demon hunters, who are familiar with the habits of monsters, immediately raised alarm bells. Without hesitation, they raised their hands to add a layer of [Quen's Seal] to themselves, and then frantically activated their demon hunter senses. Looking for clues in the air.
Suddenly, Kolgrim felt his heart skip a beat.
"Disperse!"
Kolgrim shouted crazily, then without hesitation knocked away a soldier who was in the way, and threw himself in front of him desperately.
Before the Kaedweni soldier could curse "damn witcher," the next second there was a heart-stopping vibration on the ground where he was lying. Roots thicker than a human being burst out of the ground at a growth rate tens of thousands of times faster than the natural world under the influence of magic, easily drilling Kaedwen's soldiers into gourds like clay figures.
In the crowd, a huge ancient deer-headed spirit appeared in a burst of green light, looking up to the sky and roaring.
"Boom -"
The human soldiers were shocked when they saw this. They might have the courage to face enemies that were more numerous than themselves, but when a monster several times their own size stood in front of them, they were immediately frightened by the lack of knowledge. I lost my courage.
The organized team immediately collapsed, and the bloody gourd-like corpses of their comrades further stimulated their nerves. Only a few desperate warriors wielded their swords and slashed at the ancient deer-headed spirit's body sparsely, but they could only create a few scratches on the old tree-like body, which disappeared in an instant.
Then he saw the ancient deer-headed spirit stamp its feet like a mountain collapsing, and countless knotted tree roots shot out from the ground again, turning all the dozen soldiers around it into nutrients for the plants.
The soldiers who were not attacked by the tree roots immediately dispersed when they saw this.
The ancient deer-headed spirit no longer cared about these little people and turned to face Kolgrim who had just escaped.
However, the monster did not notice that among the scattered human soldiers, a sturdy figure shuttled through the crowd at an unreasonable speed.
With a "swipe" of the ground, the poisonous silver sword of the snake sect that Lei Suo had just acquired pierced the ancient deer-headed spirit's lower back. It felt like it was cutting on a piece of frozen meat that had just begun to thaw.
Although it was difficult, I still cut in! It's like the green smoke burning with a soldering iron quickly floats out from the wound of the ancient deer-headed spirit. This is the [residue oil] at work.
Immediately afterwards, the body began to turn black and rotten from the place where it was cut, and began to wither slightly like a rotten tree in a swamp.
It's poison, the super enchanting effect from the master-level silver sword [Snake Sect Poison Silver Sword], even monsters like the ancient deer-headed spirit are not immune to it.
Such a blow was enough for Leisuo to retreat. He kicked the ancient deer-headed spirit violently, and used the reaction force to avoid the huge enemy's swing in the air with a dexterity completely inconsistent with his size. The palm that came over jumped ten meters away with a few ups and downs.
After landing, he threw away a pull ring. That's the pull tab of the [Magic-Blocking Gold Bomb].
With a "boom", green metal powder immediately surrounded the ancient deer-headed spirit, suppressing the same green magical energy that appeared on its surface.
It's just that Leisuo, who had been fighting in the team for a long time, didn't take into account the environment he was in now. He ran away, and more Kaedwen soldiers began to face the indiscriminate anger of the ancient deer-headed spirit. Without magical ability, the ancient deer-headed spirit still has a size comparable to that of a small giant and an indestructible body of steel, and can still cause chaos among the crowd.
Of course, Leisuo might not care too much.
"Use fire! This monster is not afraid of iron, use fire!"
Oaks shouted in the crowd, not only to give these soldiers a reminder to protect themselves, but also to hope that they can help him more. Among the crowd, demon hunters are also restricted from using range-based seals such as [Igni Sign] and [Alder Sign].
Upon hearing the prompt from the snake sect demon hunters, soldiers with quick reactions immediately rushed forward holding torches high. However, with a disturbing squawking cry, the inexhaustible crow appeared from the sky again and rushed toward the soldier desperately, knocking the soldier to the ground and letting go of the torch.
"Whoosh -"
But an arrow crossed the battlefield again. He seized the opportunity to accurately penetrate the arrow from the torch. The arrow smeared with thick sword oil was instantly ignited, and a red streak streaked through the air. The arc trajectory was nailed hard on the right side of the neck of the ancient deer-headed spirit.
Seeing that the strike was effective, the heroic female archer moved her position and took out arrows from her backpack.
Kolgrim's eyes suddenly lit up, he shouted at Milva to attract her attention, and he ran quickly along the crowd, then made a seal with his left hand and shot an [Igni Seal] into the sky.
Milva immediately understood what the snake sect demon hunter meant. Although there was no prior rehearsal, the two people who had already had several battles as a run-in showed an amazing tacit understanding.
A second cone-shaped flame soon lit up in the dark night, as if someone had set off a big firework. And one sharp arrow after another kept cutting through the flames and rushing out, letting the ancient deer-headed spirit's body light up the dark night.
The ancient deer-headed spirit's body kept making "dong" and "dong" sounds very cooperatively, and it took a step back every time it took an arrow.
After ten arrows, Milva shook his fingers that were a little sore from drawing the strong bow at high speed. On the other hand, looking back at the ancient deer-headed spirit, half of the body of the ancient deer-headed spirit was already lit with flames. The flames were connected into lines and would soon turn into flames.
"Boom--"
The burning of the flames finally completely broke the defense of the ancient deer-headed spirit, which had always had a deep and depressing temperament. It looked up to the sky and roared, and immediately summoned a dark cloud-like crow. These big birds desperately used their feathers, wings, and even their entire bodies to extinguish the fire on their bodies for the ancient deer-headed spirit, and quickly extinguished the flames lit by Milva and the demon hunter.
The female archer gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw this, flicked her fingers and was about to fire the bow again, but suddenly she felt a fishy wind.
Turning around, he saw a pack of more than a dozen forest wolves rushing toward him.
In order to effectively snipe the ancient deer-headed spirit, Milva sought a wider field of vision and unknowingly left the team and walked to the front. Upon seeing this, House and other teammates wanted to step forward to rescue Milva, but they were either too far away or too late, or they were hindered by other beasts that suddenly appeared.
At the critical moment, a black whirlwind blew across the battlefield.
It rolled through the group of forest wolves like a chariot, its amber eyes flashing with excitement.
That's not a black whirlwind, that's a black wind.
Without Lan's leadership, it actually ran out with the Cintra team, freely charging and trampling on many wild beasts and small monsters along the way, and it was so powerful that it couldn't survive.
But the horse still has a high IQ. More beasts in front of it surrounded it under the order of the ancient deer-headed spirit. It bit the quiver on Milva's back and picked up the female archer like a chicken. , ran away.
The group of wild beasts and monsters really let it run away without restraint, and no one could catch up.
"The Earl's mount..." Milva murmured in a daze, "It's protecting me..." The
female archer took a breath in confusion, but quickly reacted. Her body hanging in mid-air deftly turned over and hugged Heifeng's neck, shouting excitedly:
"Heifeng, run more steadily, let me sit on your back and shoot a few more arrows! With your speed, it's absolutely impossible." No other monster can catch up with it, and it will soon be...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinging being being being being being being made?"
But before Milva could finish his words, he heard a sudden burst of screams. It turned out that Black Wind suddenly made a sharp turn and drifted sideways at an astonishing high speed, throwing Milva directly out.
The female archer flew in the direction of Cintra's cavalry, and was quickly caught by her comrades.
Heifeng snorted disdainfully, and suddenly felt a familiar feeling welling up in his heart.
With a clear understanding in his heart, the demon-hunting horse suddenly charged towards the ancient deer-headed spirit. And as its speed became faster and faster, an invisible magic wave suddenly spread from its body.
Then there was a "buzz", and bright emerald light flashed on Heifeng's back, condensing into the shape of a knight in one breath. As the stars on the surface dispersed, Lann's figure appeared on the battlefield.
[Teleport]
Kou Grimm's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was once again shocked by the gryphon: "What new trick is this?"
Of course, he was complaining, but when he saw the gryphon demon hunter with the strongest seal arriving, Kou Grimm and all the snake sect demon hunters knew that the decisive battle had come, and they all surrounded the ancient deer-headed spirit.
At this time, all the human soldiers around the ancient deer-headed spirit had almost run away, leaving an open space again.
Lann patted Heifeng's neck. The relationship between the two could no longer be summarized as a simple "tacit understanding". In an instant, Heifeng understood his master's thoughts.
Another high-speed super sharp drift, Lann was thrown out like a cannonball by a war horse towards the ancient deer-headed spirit!
In ancient times, the deer-headed spirit was happy instead of angry. This was simply a good target! There are still remnants of the magic-blocking gold powder attached to its surface, so it is unable to use magic, but its palm, which is as big as a carriage, is definitely not something ordinary people can handle!
However, Lann did not give the ancient deer-headed spirit a chance to collide. Just when the palm that was about the same size as his body was about to envelope him, the world in his eyes suddenly slowed down.
It's not as exaggerated as Mirror Master's, where time stands still, but as slow as if someone clicked on the speed by 0.1 times.
The Cintra cavalry who was shocked by Lan's reckless behavior was screaming, tongues trembling in the air; the black wind was retreating confidently, its mane fluttering softly in the strong wind; the giant hand of the ancient deer-headed spirit was moving towards him Approaching inch by inch, Lan could even see the magic-blocking gold powder shaking off it.
Lann's movements were also slowed down. He could not swing his sword or use his seal, he just maintained the posture of being thrown.
But his thinking is normal.
The dark golden pupils were now rendered into a bright emerald color of mixed energy, and it seemed that energy would spurt out in the next second. In his field of vision, a circle spread out in all directions with him as the center. Those were places he could reach with just a thought.
[Flashing]
With a "buzz" sound, Lann was like a picture erased by an eraser, turning into light spots in mid-air and disappearing. The giant palms of the ancient deer-headed spirit clawed at the air and light spots, but held nothing.
The monster lowered his head in confusion, but did not see a figure appear behind him and slap the ground, and then a purple magic circle rose around him.
[Yaden Seal]!
The body blackened by the poisonous silver sword and flames of the Snake Sect was once again dyed with a new color, and the ancient deer-headed spirit shimmering with purple light noticed that the enemy turned around to attack. However, this time it was the only one slowed down, and Lan easily jumped back out of its attack range.
With a "crack" sound, the purple magical lightning staggered it, shattering the tender seedlings on its shoulders and the human skull together.
Then Lann deliberately avoided the direction of the human army, raised his left hand and pinched out the seal.
[Igni Seal·Magic Explosion]!
The huge amount of flames, like a dragon of fire, suddenly swallowed up the wild god in the forest. The surging heat flow was recovered and rotated in the air to form a huge flame tornado.
The snake sect demon hunters also seized the opportunity to surround him, raising their four left hands at the same time.
[Alder's Seal]*4!
The fire took advantage of the wind, and the flame tornado became more fierce.
"Woo——"
Seeing the Earl's bravery in battle, the Cintra cavalry also launched a general attack. They stepped forward on horseback and surrounded the flame tornado from a distance and began to continuously throw arrows inward. Along the way, they used the trampling of war horses and sabers to kill wild beasts. .
Until a certain moment, those fierce beasts and monsters who were not afraid of death suddenly regained their consciousness and fled deep into the forest in a panic.
Lann knew that this battle was won.
