Chapter 233 The whereabouts of the Iron Lady of the Dimen family and the mermaid
followed Lan’s movements.
The experience bar, which was almost full by witchers and followers using Skellig quests, jumped down a little. Immediately afterwards, a new follower panel appeared in front of Lan's eyes.

Lann's brows couldn't help but raise.
This Bill is really a talent and gave Lan a big surprise. And he seemed to have found part of the reason why he was able to attract mermaids.
It seems that Mossack will be particularly fond of this guy. In addition to being an experimental living subject of the Berserker, Bill may also be able to find his place in some other unexpected places.
But now, he can play some other role.
...
When Lan took his left hand away from Bill's forehead, Gede suddenly felt that the giant bear being choked by him was struggling much less strongly.
In other words, it has stopped struggling and is now just unconsciously twitching as a biological instinct.
Gerd thought he had finally suffocated the giant beast, but then he immediately heard Lann's chuckle.
"Ged, you can let it go."
After hearing Lan's prompt, the bear-sect demon hunter took the time to look at the giant bear, and found that the wild eyes of the giant bear had become clear at some point.
Not the kind of turbidity that is about to suffocate, nor the kind of violence that thirsts for blood, but a sense of clarity with independent thinking, a sense of wisdom.
This feeling is very abnormal whether it appears in the eyes of a beast or a berserker.
Out of trust in Lann, Gerd let go doubtfully.
After regaining freedom, the giant bear bumped him hard, and then began to spin uneasily on the spot, growling menacingly at the surrounding Skellige soldiers.
Gerd immediately became vigilant and was ready to subdue the giant bear again at any time: Obviously Bill's mind had not fully recovered, and it seemed that just like its appearance at the moment, it only had the most basic beast instincts.
But the next behavior of the giant bear Bill was beyond Gede's expectation -
the confused giant bear's head was facing towards himself and the Skellige people, baring its teeth and exhaling, but its sides and head and neck were Moving closer to Lan.
Strictly speaking, it was moving towards the hand that Lan had just placed on its head - it seemed to miss the feeling of having its forehead covered by the palm of its hand.
It had a fierce expression, bared its teeth, and opened its claws, as if it was ready to pounce on the people around it at any time; but only the small area of its body that was close to Lan was quiet, kind, and docile.
As its body moves, the "vicious" and "docile" areas all over its body are constantly adjusting, so that the "docile" area is always close to Lann - as if there is something where Lann is that makes it irresistible. The wonderful magic of forcing calmness.
Gerd was stunned.
Lan chuckled lightly and avoided the giant bear's forehead with his left hand. He didn't really treat Bill like he was taming the giant beast - after all, he knew that the giant bear was actually a young man inside.
He issued a new order.
"Go." The lion-eyed demon hunter pointed in the direction of the Wilkas, "Go and disperse them!"
...
The Wilkas relied on surprise attacks to catch the three major families off guard; coupled with the large number of The Skellige giant bear broke up the formations of the soldiers of the three major families, and then dragged the regular army into the melee.
And when the giant bears transformed by the berserkers were restrained and even destroyed by the demon hunters using professional methods, the Wilkas were left alone to face the Skellige soldiers who were more numerous and better equipped than themselves.
The Wilka people have always been famous for their fearlessness and unique berserker form.
But now it seems that all the giant bears that Skellige can find have been captured by the Wilka people using special techniques, and then the young people in the abducted villages have been transformed. The Wilkas themselves no longer have berserkers.
As for the "brave and unafraid of death" combat style...the soldiers of the three major families who are already brave and pursue glory, and have now injured the family lord, will only be more ruthless and unafraid of death than the Wilka people.
As a result, the situation on the battlefield quickly reversed.
Under the protection of Gede, East climbed to the heights and used the horn to simultaneously command the soldiers of the three major families to counterattack; after the demon hunters eliminated the giant bear, they entered the battlefield and used their skillful sword skills and seals to help break through the enemy's attack. Offensive; Lann turned into a golden flash of light and shuttled around every corner. Each flash would save several soldiers and take away several enemies at the same time.
The Wilkas no longer had the ability to resist.
When the anxious Kratz arrived belatedly with the support of the Klett family, all that was left was to clean up the battlefield.
"Uncle! Lann!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Kratz shouted, "What happened? Where are you? Am I late?" A
golden flash appeared five steps in front of Kratz, attracting Kratz's attention. The guards around Ci raised their weapons in response, and did not feel relieved until they saw Lann's figure clearly appearing next.
"You came at the right time." Lan explained the situation at hand. "We were attacked by a planned sneak attack by the Wilka people. We will talk about the specific battle later..." "Now the
troops of the Drummond family and the Dimen family have been destroyed. This is a devastating blow, and you need to dedicate some of your people to help the wounded."
Just as he said this, a shrill cry interrupted the conversation between Lann and Kratz.
The soldiers surrounded the place where the sound came from. East stood inside with a heavy face, and next to him was the madman Lugo, whose face was full of anger and guilt.
And where everyone's eyes were focused, a female shield guard was lying on Hog Blackhand's body and crying.
Kratz looked at Hog Blackhand in disbelief. This notorious pirate had lost his iconic black hand, and the broken part of the wound had dried up to the point that no blood could flow out.
Not surprisingly, he had stopped breathing.
As the patriarch of the seven Skellige families, even if he didn't usually deal with each other, Kratz could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
"This guy..." Kratz took off his helmet, "He is very annoying, but he is one of the strongest pirate leaders in the archipelago. I was not sure I could beat him in the battle, but I didn't see him on land now. He was attacked and killed in a sneak attack."
Lan En remained silent.
"The Diemen family is about to begin to be in turmoil." Kratz pointed to the female shield guard who was crying on Hogg Blackhand and whispered to Lan, "That is Jutta Ann Diemen, Hogg Blackhand's Niece. Hogg no longer has a son, so this Jutta is also one of the heirs, even the one at the front."
Lan suddenly caught something different, because both Jutta and Kratz's surnames There is "an".
"Are you related? If we support her to become the head of the Dimen family, will it make the Dimen family fall to our camp?" Although
Kratz admired the death of the warrior, as the head of the family, he is also qualified. political figure. Perhaps when he revealed Jutta's identity, he meant to introduce her to Lan.
"It would be better to at least let someone else inherit the Diemen family. Jutta's swordsmanship is superb. She is obviously a woman, but there is no man on the Faroe Island where the Diemen family is located who can beat her in swordsmanship, so she gets the title.' Iron Lady', became Hogg's shield guard." Kratz thought, "It's just a pity that the lord she wants to protect now died in front of her. This is a shame that cannot be washed away." "Unless..." "I want to do it for myself
.
" Take revenge for your uncle!" Jutta Ann Dimen, nicknamed the Iron Lady, suddenly shouted loudly, attracting the attention of everyone including Lann and Kratz.
She was lying on Hog Blackhand's body, and her whole body was exhausted from crying at this moment. But she still tried her best to search for East's position. After changing the direction, she fell into a posture of lying on the ground with all her body bent.
"I want to destroy the real gathering place of the Wilka people, kill all their remnants, destroy the statue of the evil god, and use the bones of the enemy to build a tombstone for my uncle!" "I now know that the place we went to before does not belong to the Wilka people
. The base camp, we have all been deceived by the cunning enemy. You will definitely find the enemy's real hiding place, please take me with you!" Jutta Ann Dimen
is the niece of the patriarch and a personal guard. She is the Iron Lady of Faroe Island who has unparalleled swordsmanship and is quite prestigious in the army. As soon as she expressed her stance, the remaining Dimen family soldiers also knelt down to East:
"Please take us with you, we will avenge the lord!"
East looked at them intently, not knowing what was in his heart. What to think.
At this time, he had also seen Kratz coming for support.
After thinking like this for three breaths, East said:
"Hog Blackhand is a warrior worthy of respect, and his death is also glorious. I will avenge him and use the sword in my hand to bring peace to his tomb. The blood of the enemy."
"As for you, soldiers of the Dimen family, you failed to protect your lord."
When East said this, she could see that Jutta and the soldiers behind her were all covered in blood. shake.
"So in the next battle, you must use your own blood to defend your glory. I believe that what makes Hogg's grave drink the most is the blood of enemies brought by his own family's soldiers."
Jutta The trembling became more intense: "In the name of our ancestors, we will obey your command. We only ask that you give us the opportunity to cut off the enemy's head with our own hands!" East sighed, helped Juta up with a heavy face, and
ordered The soldiers behind her join the ranks of the Turseks.
After doing all this, he looked at the madman Lugo, who had been silent all the time: "What about you?"
Lugo's condition at the moment could not be said to be good, and he was seriously injured.
Perhaps because of the shame of falling into the trap, he had always been at the forefront in the previous battles and did not even have a chance to let his personal guards protect him.
"I won't go." Lugo said after being silent for a while.
"The task of annihilating the Svablo sect and killing the Wilkas will be left to you, East."
Madman Lugo's face turned gloomy. After saying this, he looked at East steadily for two seconds.
Finally, he lowered his head and said, "Please, you must avenge Hogg."
East pressed Lugo's shoulders and promised, "I will."
...
With the support of Kratz, the progress of cleaning up the battlefield It's much faster.
The Drummond family wanted to escort their injured lord down the mountain and withdraw from the subsequent battle; while the Dimen family had eliminated the wounded and the soldiers escorting the wounded, and only a few dozen people could participate in the battle, led by Jutta, who followed in East behind.
Thanks to Gede's timely help and East's calm leadership, the Tursek family suffered little loss. Combined with the reinforcements brought by Kratz, their combat effectiveness even exceeded that of the previous coalition of three families.
This is the current situation on the Skellig side.
As for the Svablo sect, the Wilkas did not capture even a single person alive. These fighting barbaric tribes all died in the previous fighting. The Skellig soldiers did not feel scary during the battle. Now that they calm down, they think of the crazy posture of the Wilka people, which is even a little creepy.
Miraculously, three of the berserker warriors transformed into giant bears by the Svablo sect survived, but all were seriously injured. After the battle, they were unconscious and gradually returned to their human form.
The soldiers of the three families looked at them with twinkling eyes: although these were compatriots and the residents of the great Skellige Island who had been kidnapped; but they had indeed killed a large number of their comrades just now, Indirectly or directly caused huge casualties to the troops.
Some people even shouted slogans such as "Maybe they have joined the cult a long time ago and are just pretending to be one of their own", wanting to execute these new berserkers on the spot.
But in the end, no one acted rashly. Instead, they all looked at East, waiting for his attitude.
East looked at Bill thoughtfully - this young man transformed back into a human form on his own after the battle, and was still conscious, but in his current state, he was completely powerless and collapsed on the ground.
...
Is it a good thing to execute all the berserker warriors?
At least it's not a bad thing.
Whether it is from the current mood of the soldiers or from the perspective of the Skellige people as a whole, there is no problem in killing these berserkers - even if these berserkers were just innocent villagers a few days ago, It may not be his intention in the battle just now.
The people of the Islands have a policy of "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go" when it comes to the Svablo sect.
But East thought about it and finally ordered his men to tie up these berserkers and keep them under strict supervision. For this reason, Kratz even asked Kratz to detach a part of the Klett family guards to go down the mountain with them and imprison them.
He had two reasons for doing this:
First, all the Wilka people just died, and there was no one left who could ask questions or lead the way, so it was necessary to let Bill, who knew the route of collaborating with the enemy, stay.
The second thing - it's still because of Bill, but this is because East can see that Lan wants to keep Bill.
East was still accommodating to Lan.
And since Bill stayed, the other berserkers could only stay too. However, Bill was to stay and lead the way, while the other berserkers were taken back and imprisoned to prevent them from uncontrollably transforming again until a way to control them was found.
In addition, during these days, East has also been influenced by Lann - he has also begun to have some ideas about these wonderful and powerful special combat units.
The Skelligs fear the Svablos because of their brutality and the power that matches their brutality. But what if these powerful berserkers stopped being brutal and became their own people? So what?
This time, these great Skellige youths who were kidnapped and forcibly transformed into berserker warriors seemed to be an opportunity for East, an opportunity to give Skellig an extra powerful force.
Especially considering that he will have to deal with Nilfgaard and avenge Calanthe in the future, East now has an almost obsessive pursuit of increasing his power - this can be seen from the fact that he previously came up with the idea of conquering the ice giant. .
However, if you want to keep all these berserkers, you will definitely need East's strong prestige to suppress the trivial voices.
In other words, it's the same old problem - East is going to be King of Skellige. At the same time, this operation must also completely wipe out the Svablo sect and prevent future troubles.
Otherwise, even if these people were brought back, the follow-up would only be to arrange a grand execution ceremony to appease the public's anger... ...Watching the
soldiers
begin to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner, Lan walked to Bill's side.
Gede was standing next to this reckless young man, looking at him collapsed on the ground with admiration.
Bill was like a puddle of mud, motionless.
But his situation doesn't seem like he's losing his strength. The process of obtaining the system template has the effect of restoring all the status like Lan's upgrade. Afterwards, although Bill charged through the crowd in the giant bear state for a while, it did not last long and he should not be exhausted.
Lann looked carefully and found that what this young man was showing now was more like a kind of... collapse of the sky, a despair of all disillusionment in life.
The whole person exuded a breath of death.
Lann frowned: "Look up."
This time there was no need to use the seal to hypnotize him. Bill almost obeyed Lann's orders.
This face has returned to a rosy and healthy look, no longer as weak as before, as if it had been stricken with anesthetic powder, and it also shows the charm that can attract mermaids. Although it is still far behind Lann, if he tidies up a little, Lann even thinks that he can throw this guy to Aretuza and Ace for company.
"I also need you to lead the way to the hiding place of the Svablo cult. I need to know whether you can complete this task - so tell me, what makes you like a puddle of mud now." Bill looked at
that The pair of dark golden lion eyes were so frightened by the power that they couldn't help but lower their heads again.
He said painfully: "I was influenced by the Wilka people. They fed me hallucinogenic mushrooms and fed me herbs, which made me confused and confused, so I forgot a lot of things. "
I forgot that I was torn to pieces and swallowed by the giant bear together with the few people who were thrown into the giant bear's den at that time. It's just that I woke up very early, so I regained consciousness and escaped before the Welka people came. I came out and went back to the village in a daze."
"I, I have a talent. Whenever I fall into a coma, I always wake up quickly, and the mermaid song that can confuse people in poetry has no effect on me at all, so I Only then did I get the chance to get along with Shyvana."
"I love her, and she loves me too."
Shyvana, Lan knew, was the name of the mermaid.
"But, but..."
When he said this, Bill finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground holding his head again.
"I killed Shyvana..."
"I turned into a giant bear and tore her apart..."
