Chapter 274 Sorry, the real protagonist is here.
Wolf sect demon hunters have a variety of attack methods. Compared with other schools except the Griffin School, their use of magic seals in battle is more flexible.
In addition, the Wolf School has a unique advantage: the legacy gift from the most orthodox demon hunter order-the Ring of Elements.
This natural magic place found by the sorcerers and alchemists during the Demon Hunter Order period can strengthen the demon hunters' sigil abilities. Lann even used it to light up all the third-level skills of the Seal series, but then his consciousness rose to the astral elemental layer outside the world, and he was almost assassinated. But judging from the results, it was a near miss and a great harvest.
Of course, Lann is an exception. Normally speaking, although the Ring of Elements does not increase the absolute strength of the Wolf School's seals to the same level as the Griffin School, it can give them some other special effects.
For example, Lambert, his [Axi Sign] has a strong hypnotic effect. Lambert met two mercenaries when he was coming down from Kaer Morhen just after learning. As a result, he easily hypnotized one of the mercenaries to kill his companion, and then let the poor mercenary without eyes hang himself. .
Geralt was also strengthened by the [Axi Sigil] in the Ring of Elements, and also gained a certain hypnotic effect. Although the intensity of his hypnosis is not as strong as Lambert's, who can make people commit suicide, he can still make the hypnotized person make simple instructions based on his thoughts.
Moreover, he can also hypnotize multiple enemies at the same time.
...
"Retreat!"
Amidst Geralt's roar, the two dwarves whose consciousness had been shrouded by the strong "ether" element did not hesitate to put down their weapons and turned their backs, striding back and throwing themselves down at the same time. A companion.
These dwarves immediately clanged and rolled together like tin cans.
One after another [Axi Sigil] was struck out in Geralt's hands. His actions just now attracted the attention of the crowd, and everyone was staring at Geralt. There is no need for extra aiming at this moment. With the rotation of the body, two dwarves will be hypnotized every time the seal is released, and then exit.
After ten breaths, dozens of dwarves were hypnotized and withdrew from the center of the fighting. These hypnotized dwarves also took away twice as many companions.
The center of the battlefield, which had been filled with loud shouts of killing just now, became eerily quiet.
Fortunately, the hypnotized dwarves quickly regained their senses after a while, but this only made the dwarves even more suspicious of Geralt's methods.
The two clans were separated into two halves and faced each other from afar, with Geralt as the center.
"It's Geralt. He went with us to clean up and saved many of our companions." A voice from the Zyglin clan suddenly sounded, "He is also very powerful... Bowser, do we want to fight him?"
" Shut up." Bowser Siegelin scolded in a low voice, "This situation cannot be stopped by a few people now. We listen to the clan leader."
Not only the Siegelin clan, but also the Fuchs clan began to whisper.
"He seems to be the 'White Wolf', a warrior under Duke Lannister and a demon hunter." A dwarf on Fuchs' side whispered, "He won't be as powerful as Duke Lannister, right? He is How did you separate so many dwarves? What should we do next?"
"Duke Lannister's warriors..." Petrit was not here, and his deputy was leading the team at the moment. "If possible, don't hurt the other party. First Ask him what he wants."
Neither party dared to act rashly at this moment, either because of their previous favors or because they were afraid of Geralt's sudden burst of power.
Geralt shook his body, and after Heifeng ran to his side with tacit understanding, he leaned in without leaving a trace.
After all, he is just a wolf, not a griffon, and the effect of the magic potion [Tawny Owl] is only to speed up the recovery of magic power rather than directly replenishing magic power. After suddenly performing so many magic seals, Geralt felt like a sponge that had been exposed to the sun for three days. He really couldn't squeeze out a drop of magic power.
Geralt briefly separated the two clans on his own, with astonishing power and a demon-like face. But only he knew that even a water ghost could disembowel him at this moment. If these dwarves rushed up regardless, he would have no choice but to let the black wind hold him in his mouth and escape.
The rumble of horse hooves sounded, and dozens of Cintra cavalry entered, surrounding Geralt in the middle. There were not many of them, but they set up their lances together to form a circular formation and were nailed to the center of the battlefield like nails.
"Just show off, and run away if things go wrong. Our horses are fast, and the dwarves with short legs can't catch up." Geralt, with a face as pale as an evil ghost, whispered to the cavalry.
The warrior wearing the lion helmet nodded slightly without any trace.
"Geralt!" Fuchs, who was shocked by the lion's remaining power and the white wolf's current posture, shouted from a distance, "This is not your war, and I don't want to hurt you, hurry up Leave, this is not something you can stop!"
"Geralt!" Zygrin also roared, "This battle can't be stopped, even you can't stop Zygrin!"
Geralt was silent. , he was thinking about what he should say to delay as much time as possible.
He didn't know how to organize his words, but there were others present who had lots of things to say.
Gabo arrived with the remaining dwarves of Zigrin. There were not many of them. They were not wearing armor because they came in a hurry, and they were out of breath from the long journey.
But Gabo's voice was still loud: "Clan leader, stop it, this is not the real Qieglin!" The
arrival of Gabo's team caused a commotion among the dwarves around the leader of Qieglin. They have faced Fuchs with hatred for centuries, but why are their own people standing in front of them now?
"Gabo, you traitor! I shouldn't have let you stay in Carbon Mountain for so long in the first place. It would be better for you to die in human society than now!" Chief Ziglin jumped angrily, "You are now talking to our enemies. Are you standing aside?"
"No, patriarch, I am Sieglin, and we are all Sieglin." Gabo said calmly, "Just because I am Sieglin, I cannot tolerate what will happen next. Zeigrin into the abyss."
"We are not here to fight with our compatriots, but if you want to continue today's plan, you must first step over our corpses. I hope our blood can briefly awaken your sanity. "
Geralt, the young man I brought here is also under your command!" Gabo shouted towards Geralt, "I want to take a few people to the Pool of Davor. They plan to blow up the dam. If they don't It’s too late to go!”
Geralt nodded. It could be seen that the Siegelin clan had lost a lot of fighting spirit due to the arrival of these compatriots, and he also relaxed a lot.
However, he had just opened his mouth and before he had time to agree to Gabo, there was a shocking sound in the distance.
"Boom -"
Fire burst out all over the sky, and smoke that couldn't cover it up even in the dark rose from the direction of the dam. Geralt's eyes widened, and the hallucinations of screams began to faintly echo in his ears.
"The Pond of Davor! Damn Zygrin!" Fuchs's dwarves screamed, "The patriarch and the others are still in the mine, and there is no way they can escape the backflowing flood!"
"It's too late." The leader of the Zigrin clan laughed loudly, "We have never thought of using such troublesome methods as hammers and axes to eliminate you! Although we didn't expect there to be so many people outside the mine, we can deal with them. It's not a problem. But..."
"What should I do with you, humans..." Chief Sieglin stopped his smile and looked at Geralt, "Tonight's actions should not be known to others."
Sieglin The patriarch gave the order suddenly, and the Zygrin dwarves hesitated to raise their weapons facing Geralt and the Cintra people who had fought side by side not long ago. But more dwarves who had not participated in the previous cleaning had begun to move slowly. They pushed their hesitant companions to the back of the team. There were still hundreds of tomahawks on the front facing the people of Cintra at the same time.
"You don't have the courage to raise weapons against humans, then subdue the traitors behind you!" Chief Zygelin shouted at the tribesmen who had no intention of fighting.
But when Geralt faced the aggressive Zygrin dwarves, his expression suddenly calmed down. Even his body completely relaxed and leaned against Hei Feng's body.
"Zyglin... I'm sorry." He said, "You wanted to eliminate us to keep the secret, but your actions tonight have been known for a long time, and the person who knew it was still your great elder - Bro Val Hog."
A golden flash suddenly reflected in the white wolf's pupils, which had become as dark as the abyss after drinking the magic potion.
The direction where the light shines is at the Pond of Davor.
...
The Pool of Davor, the dam.
The dwarves who had just detonated the explosives were hiding behind the bunker, and now they cautiously poked their heads out, cheering for the victory of this operation.
However, the next second, they were all blown away by the impact. They thought there was a delay in the explosion, but the people who could be arranged here were all experienced miners, and there was no way they could have misjudged the power of the explosion.
They looked dizzily towards the place where the impact came out, but were suddenly knocked away again.
Looking back, sure enough, there were no explosives at all, just a knight with his cape puffed up like a flag.
[Alder Seal·Alder Sweep]
A 360-degree telekinetic impact with no blind spots is the best choice for clearing the field without killing.
Looking at the blasted dam in front of me, although it is not as powerful as before when it was filled with water, the remaining torrent is still not something that human beings can contend with.
Fortunately, Lann is not an ordinary person.
He raised his head and drank a bottle of [Tawny Owl] to enhance battery life. The powerful poison resistance made Lann's face remain unchanged. Stretching out his left hand, the familiar seal descended on the Pool of Davor again.
[Alder's Seal·Bearing·Magic Explosion]!
The dwarves who had just fallen to pieces had turned into rolling gourds again before they could remember to get up from the ground. This time the shock wave was not only powerful, but also bone-piercing!
When they were able to open their eyes that were blown open by the strong wind, they saw only a bright emerald light spot dissipating in the night sky. The knight's appearance came and went without a trace like the wind, leaving only A tall piece of ice that stunned the dwarves.
"The dam... was frozen again..." A dwarf murmured to himself, "So it was him who did it before, Duke Lannister..." The
Zigrin dwarves originally thought it was Fuchs. The clan used their previous plan to repair the dam, but after arriving, they discovered that a huge piece of ice blocked the entrance. At that time, they were amazed at the magical power of the Fuchs clan, but now it seems that it is not what they imagined.
"What should we do... blow it up again?"
"The explosives have been used up. And if we blow it up again, he will definitely be able to come back and freeze again. And next time maybe we will all be stuffed into this big ice block. "
What about the patriarch's order?"
The dwarf who spoke at the beginning was silent for a while, not knowing whether to ask himself or answer: "Do you really think... the patriarch's order tonight is correct?"
...
" Lannister!" Chief Zygrin jumped to his feet angrily.
After waiting for a long time and still not hearing the sound of waves sweeping over the torrent, he already knew something was wrong. When Lan appeared on the back of the black wind with bright amber light, he knew the most important part of tonight's plan. has failed.
"This is a struggle between dwarves, and you are not the one to get involved!" Chief Zigrin shouted, "Don't you, Cintra, want Mahakam's reinforcements?" "Cintra promises everyone who comes to
help Everyone can be welcomed, and every race can get along with each other equally in Cintra." Lann said coldly, "But you, you can't even get along equally within your races, and Cintra doesn't need such people."
"Besides, were you planning to attack my people just now?"
The people of the Zigrin clan were already very close to Cintra's queue, and they were all murderous. If Lann's sudden appearance hadn't shocked them, they would have been in close combat with the Cintra people.
"No one else can know what happened today." Chief Qiglin took a deep breath, "In this case, we can only see if the Lion of Cintra is as powerful as the rumors outside!"
Qi Green's queue moved forward menacingly, and Lan rode his horse to the front of the team as usual.
However, he did not make any attack posture at this moment, but mobilized his magic power to activate the skill -
[Teleport]
A bright emerald-colored, slightly short light spot appeared next to him.
The steps of all the Zyglin dwarves were suddenly suffocated. A short figure appeared in front of them, but a huge mountain suddenly weighed on their hearts.
The arrogant Qie Gelin clan leader also widened his eyes and could no longer speak.
The light gradually disappeared, and a fully armed dwarf appeared in front of him. His hair was all white, but his body was so powerful that from a distance he looked like the top of a mountain.
He wore a full suit of armor and held a war hammer as tall as anyone else. But there was no need for him to use these weapons. Ever since his figure appeared completely, every dwarf he looked at could not help but take a step back.
Naturally, the person coming could not be Brovar Hogg. The great elder of the dwarves would not allow himself to be controlled by the inexplicable ancient blood magic. Although he didn't know that if Lan was determined to use [Teleport], he wouldn't be able to resist.
The visitor was the dwarf officer who was scolded by the great elder when Lann first came to the mine and met him. His name is Barclay Ayers.
Although he was speechless in front of the great elder, to other dwarves Barclay's name was the loudest hammering sound in Carbon Mountain. Barclay was the leading colonel in Mahakam's legion. He had participated in battles against humans and elves before Mahakam closed the mountain. After Mahakam closed the mountain, he often fought on the front line to fight monsters and open up homes.
Lann knew that when the Mahakam volunteers rushed to the north in the future, Barclay would still serve as the commander-in-chief of the volunteers. It was he who led the Mahakam heavy infantry against the Nilfgaardian cavalry, setting a record that shocked the mainland.
Even without the embellishing of those future achievements now, Barclay's reputation in Mahakam is astonishing. Most of the dwarves had served in the military, which meant serving under Barclay. They could take action against Fuchs, who had a feud, and they could take action against the human Duke who suddenly intervened, but they would never have the courage to raise an ax against Barclay.
"Just now, I was discussing with the Great Elder the issue of 'general cleaning' around the land of Wodar and Seagull Wai." Barclay slowly turned his head, his eyes full of regret that iron could not turn into steel.
"But unexpectedly, Duke Lannister suddenly appeared and told us what happened here. I couldn't believe it at first, but now it seems..."
Barclay's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly raised his voice, loud and clear. His voice echoed throughout the battlefield like a trumpet:
"The Great Elder ordered: The Zyglin clan immediately laid down their weapons and surrendered. All Zyglin who participated in this operation were sent to the mines to work as miners for five hundred years; those who refused to serve were expelled from Ma Hakan, you are not allowed to set foot on the land of the mountains again for the rest of your life!"
"The Carbon Mountain Corps is already on the way. If Sieglin continues to resist, then the dwarves will indeed bleed soon." Barclay said solemnly, "But no Fuchs, it's you Siegelin."
