Chapter 290 The Scoia'tael arose, and the Scoia'tael were laid to rest again. The
shrill warning sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. Lan's sharp eyes penetrated the crowd and found that the person who gave the warning was the dwarf guard who was opening the way at the front.
They had now reached the end of the long bridge. On the other side of the bridge, on the mountainside of Mount Carbon, several dwarves wearing squirrel tails as decoration suddenly appeared.
Scoia'tael! Lan En's pupils suddenly shrank.
The next second, there was a loud "bang" in everyone's ears, which was the roar of explosives exploding. The head and end of the long bridge responded to the loud noise with sudden rocks and rockslides, and large chunks of the bridge suddenly detached from the bridge deck and fell into the abyss.
The trembling like an earthquake made all the dwarves lie on the ground holding their heads. The dwarves around the great elder rushed towards him desperately, pressing the leader of Mahakam under him to prevent a sneak attack.
The people of Cintra were all riding horses, and the huge noise made these animals stand up in panic. Only the black wind under Lann's crotch suddenly became excited.
But the people of Sintra also reacted very quickly. Those with excellent riding skills among them controlled the frightened horses in almost three breaths and assumed a fighting posture; those with less good riding skills decisively abandoned their horses and turned around. They rode on foot, then quickly gathered to Lan's side, forming a circular formation and setting up shields.
After the surrounding aftershocks completely calmed down, the dwarves' "Long Bridge" had been cut off from head to tail, leaving only the small area where Lan En and the Great Elder's team stood still intact.
The long bridge became just a platform and they were trapped.
...
The Great Elder has an eccentric character, but everyone knows that he is the staunchest supporter of the Mahakam tradition; and it is not the first time that Mahakam has received a diplomatic group. Sintra has stayed in Mahakam for so long. Apparently he had gained Mahakam's friendship - at least on the surface.
Therefore, anyone who is a dwarf in Mahakam can guess that the Great Elder will choose to go to Mount Carbon with Lan to sign a trade agreement. After determining the trajectory of this action, it became a matter of course to plant explosives along the way and wait for the Great Elder and others to pass by.
The easiest way is actually to wait for the group of people to pass by the ambush point and then detonate the explosives, so that the unsuspecting dwarves can be thrown into the abyss along with the rocks in the mountains; but the Scoia'tael seemed to be worried about something, so they just chose this option. A relatively safe method, just siege a group of people.
At this moment, the Great Elder's guards were trapped on this platform together with Cintra, almost becoming a target. The Scoia'tael members jumped out of their hiding places and pointed their bows at them.
Watching with eager eyes.
The great elder pushed away the dwarf guard who was pressing on him, lifted up the giant battle ax as tall as himself, shouted and looked around: "Who is it
? Here, ambushing me in Mahakam! Who actually has This courage..."
The high-pitched curse was suddenly choked, and the great elder saw clearly the appearance of the enemy. The hand holding the giant ax shook suddenly, and then his face quickly turned red like a red-hot iron, as if there was a flame burning under his skin.
The leader of the Scoia'tael was the three-braided dwarf. After briefly observing the situation, he decisively ordered to his compatriots: "Leave
Brovar Hogg alone, and don't point arrows at your compatriots." He pointed suddenly. The Cintra people at the end of the team said, "Kill the humans first! Use their blood to start our cause!" A
war cry that was very different from Mahakam echoed from the mouths of the Scoia'tael dwarves, overwhelming the mountain wind for an instant.
The eerie sound of bowstrings echoing in the valley continued to echo, and the Scoia'tael party vented all their hatred towards mankind at this moment.
They have suffered discrimination and bullying in human society, and they feel that they are here to collect debts. It doesn't matter who the target is, as long as it's a human being.
Facts have proved that this way of selecting opponents is wrong.
The dwarves ignored the Cintra people in order to protect the Great Elder, but in fact the Cintra people also had more powerful people providing them with protection.
[Alder Seal·Magic Explosion]!
The howling mountain wind was suppressed at that moment, and the Cintra people's formation turned into a huge eye of the storm. The wild wind swirled around them without harming them at all.
The Scoia'tael party watched helplessly as the arrows they fired were like mosquitoes that had been slapped by a big hand. They lost their power and fell messily, disappearing into the abyss. No one was hurt.
The excited eyes of the three-braided dwarf suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth wide for a while before he realized what was happening. He continued to shout hysterically: "They have warlocks! Keep shooting arrows, I don't believe their magic power is infinite... Wait, Brovar Hogg has passed, don't let go of your arrows!"
...
Great Elder Brovar marched against the cold wind. Fortunately, he was wearing a suit of iron armor, otherwise he might have been carried by the strong wind around him and rolled down the long bridge. Into the abyss.
He looked at Lann with complexity, who was like a star in the Cintra people. The blond knight stretched out his left hand to vent the storm and protect his compatriots. At that moment, he seemed to see several other familiar people. , a figure that disappeared in history.
"Duke Lannister!" the great elder shouted in an old voice, "You can stop now, I am very close to you now, and they will not kill me." The old
voice was firm enough to penetrate the storm, spreading Into Lan's ears.
The Cintra people vaguely adjusted the direction of their weapons towards the Great Elder. The enemy they faced now were dwarves, and they had to guard against all possible threats.
Lan ignored the guards' vigilance and withdrew his left hand holding the seal. Sure enough, the Scoia'tael no longer attacked this side, but sent a representative to shout from a distance.
Lann ignored what the Scoia'tael said and just turned to look at the Great Elder.
"It seems that you are in some trouble now."
"Indeed, Duke Lannister, so I need some help from you." The elder admitted, "They did catch me." He calculated
the route and set up an ambush. , trapping everyone on the long bridge. Of course, with the elite level of the Great Elder Guard, they could rely on their strong shields to delay the attack. The sound of the explosion would soon attract the Carbon Mountain Corps not far away to come over for support.
But obviously the great elder doesn't want to be a coward.
"I know what you have, son of the ancient blood. I hope you and your soldiers can help me destroy these enemies." "With all due respect, you and your soldiers have
this ability yourself. These 'rebellious' The dwarves are nothing to worry about for you."
The Great Elder shook his head and pointed at the dwarf guards who were firmly surrounding him, but still looked at the Scoia'tael with disbelief in their eyes: "They are not ready yet. , prepare to face...such an enemy."
"It is too early for them to wave weapons at their compatriots on the battlefield. Ancient races should not kill each other in this way." "
But you seem to No mercy for them?"
"Appearing here in this way, they are no longer dwarves in my eyes." The elder's face turned red, but his voice was suppressed with strength, "Do me a favor, Duke Lannister, I only want them The leader with three pigtails is a prisoner, and the others will live or die - even if they have similar appearances to us, even in Mahakam." "In
that case." Lann smiled, and his body swelled He lit up the emerald light and said, "I am always willing to help my friends."
[Flash]
...
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, from the suppressed anger of the great elder to the panicked Scoia'tael dwarf. The time-slowing effect brought by the skill is still there, and Lann can clearly see the subtle expression changes on each of their faces; and with this reaction time, Lann can make the corresponding reaction later.
Then the golden light completely converged, and the time flow rate of the world in front of him returned to normal.
The dwarves looked at the human leader who was alone in his camp in surprise. Before they could raise their weapons, the next second, the human seemed to turn into a human-shaped explosive and exploded.
[Alder Seal·Alder Sweep]
A circular repulsive shock wave suddenly erupted in all directions with Lann as the origin. The crazy wind directly blew away a layer of snow, gravel, and soil on the ground, and the Scoia'tael dwarves immediately They all turned into gourds, and they didn't even know where their weapons had flown.
A guerrilla team of nearly a hundred people was at a disadvantage in one encounter.
The next second, countless spots of light lit up around Lann, and the figures of Cintra guards appeared from the middle.
They excitedly felt the power of the lion enveloped their bodies, and this encouragement made their morale reach its peak in an instant.
"You should also deal with similar enemies in the future. This time is considered a sudden drill." Lann pointed at the Scoia'tael dwarves, "Go!" After saying this,
Lann's body lit up with light again, and disappeared in a flash. In the sight of everyone, go to the other end of the long bridge to deal with the remaining Scoia'tael.
Kolgrim's snake eyes flashed with dangerous light, and he pulled out the long sword from his back with a clang. He had endured these Scoia'tael for a long time.
...
There were no exciting battles, everything went very smoothly. The dwarves tried to ambush the lions of Cintra in the same way they would deal with normal humans. By the time they realized their mistake, it was already too late.
They are just a guerrilla group of Centurions, and they pose no threat to Lann today.
If there were any twists and turns in the process, it was that Lann was a little merciful and did not really go on a killing spree, which made the scene too ugly. After all, although the Great Elder Brovar issued the killing order, the other dwarf guards were still watching, and it was necessary to take care of their mood a little.
In other words, it is necessary to give them a chance and then personally execute these Scoia'tael.
The Scoia'tael were quickly killed or subdued, but the High Elder and his guards were still trapped on the Long Bridge. Fortunately, with the construction wisdom of the dwarves, they always have various plans for construction accidents. Not far from the long bridge, Lann found some materials used to build temporary fortifications.
The dwarves quickly used these materials to build a simple suspension bridge. Although the horses of Sintra could not cross, it was enough for the people and dwarves to reach Mount Carbon safely. As for those war horses... we can only wait for the construction team to come over to reinforce the bridge, and then think of a solution.
"Don't worry, Duke Lannister." The Great Elder said in a rough voice, "They will be fine, trust us."
...
At this moment, facing Lann, the Great Elder's attitude became more than a little better.
He should have been shouting curses at these Scoia'tael, but now he just had a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking.
The elder turned his head and looked at the bound Scoia'tael dwarf who was kneeling on the ground. The people of Cintra behaved in the same way as Lann, and they did not kill everyone. Although Kolgrim was angry with the Scoia'tael, they still took many prisoners with Geralt mediating from the side.
Among them, the one kneeling at the front was the Scoia'tael with his beard tied into three braids. However, at this moment, his beard was soaked in most of the blood, and he was still yelling at the great elder:
"Brovar, you coward! You actually cooperated with humans and hired humans to wield swords against your compatriots! You really... ..."
With a "bang", the dwarf guards held down the three-braided Scoia'tael's head and poured him into the soil, blocking his dirty words.
The elder's face turned redder as he listened to the scolding, but miraculously he still didn't curse.
He turned to look at Lan and said in a low voice:
"I still need you to do me a favor, Duke Lannister. I know you have the magic to summon servants to you from a distance. I want to know what Carbon Mountain is now. What's the situation like?"
"They were so bold as to ambush me. They must have a careful plan. There must be more than just a few people ambushing me."
Lan En was right. To be honest, he was also curious about the situation in Carbon Mountain.
A bright amber light spot appeared behind him, and then a tall figure rushed out from inside.
Saskia wielded a long ax that she had taken from somewhere. The blade of the ax was bigger than her head, and it was very powerful.
Her face was full of excitement, but the next second she suddenly felt a mountain-like force blocking her axe. Taking a closer look, it was Lan who accurately held down the handle of his axe. Looking around again, he saw that the scene had changed, and the surrounding area had changed from a carbon mountain in the middle of a battle to a blown-up bridge.
Lann felt a strange force no less powerful than a troll coming from his hand, and he almost took a step back. Although Saskia turned into a human body, her strength was weakened accordingly, but she was still much stronger than ordinary people.
This was Saskia's first experience with [Teleportation], and she was amazed by this wonderful method of spatial transfer.
"Is this one of the powers of the ancient blood? It's really amazing!" Saskia expressed heartfelt admiration to Lan, "And your strength is so great!" (End of this chapter
