Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 45

"Master Dunwa, we have already counted the quantity of the goods, and it is right, there is no problem."

"Since there is no problem, let's go."

At the gate of Fort Sazar, the dwarf Dunwa looked at the leaving caravan and said.

What this caravan transported was unusual goods. What they sent was the fire door gun, which is currently the most important product of Fort Sazar.

And shortly after this caravan left, another caravan arrived.

"This town is really getting more and more prosperous. Thinking about when I first came here, it is really different from now."

It is natural that Dunwa is not doing such trivial things as checking now, he is just here to send this caravan carrying a fire door gun, which is an important product of Fort Sazar, so he is very fancy.

Dunwa looked towards Fort Sazar, there were obviously more houses in the town, and he liked such a prosperous scene.

There was already some snow on the roofs of some houses. Seeing this scene, Dunwa felt bad. Now that it was winter, he remembered some disputes and accidents caused by snow accumulation last winter.

Then Dunwa hurried to the recently built city hall, where there was still work waiting for him.

.

As Herme expected, after returning to Fort Sazar, he was indeed able to live a peaceful life.

During this period of time, apart from the growing prosperity of Fort Sazar, everything was calm, and Herme was able to be a governor with peace of mind.

As for the outside world, the father-in-law's governance is as stable as Mount Tai, and as the rule increases, many Cossack war gangs are more and more obedient to him.

Land of the Cossacks now has a theme song of peace.

As for Hackland, those nomads are still busy with their internal wars, and they don't have any momentum for foreign wars.

But in Sazarburg, the crowds that come here can be said to be in an endless stream.

The legend of the wealth in the east has made merchants come here in a steady stream, and there will always be a large group of merchants' carriages in Herme's territory.

Immigrants are here for a stable environment full of opportunities, while non-human races come here to escape discrimination.

The more chaotic the north, the more people came to Herme.

Herme welcomed it more and more, he couldn't wait for it, it was really great.

This made Sazarburg more and more prosperous, and every tavern was full of people at night, and the sound of banquets was endless.

The large number of outsiders did not arouse conflicts in the city, because Sazarburg is a city with opportunities everywhere.

There is a shortage of people everywhere, and people are welcome to join in every industry.

That is, the Golden Spoon Tavern in Sazarburg has been deserted a lot recently, not as lively as before.

Because Geralt left some time ago, Dandelion naturally followed him.

Geralt had got his masterwork set, and was anxious to get back to Kaer Morhen before winter, to tell the wolf-sent witcher his story.

At the same time, he also bought a lot of things, all kinds of expensive drinks and food, and planned to let the Wolf Pie have a good winter this winter.

Dandelion wants to perform his new works all over the north to gain fame.

Without Dandelion, the Golden Spoon's natural traffic has suffered.

Although the boss has recruited other poets, none of them can compare to Dandelion.

However, before leaving, our Master Dan still said that he would recommend newcomers who he thinks are good.

And said that if he came to Hakland again, he would come to the Golden Spoon Tavern to perform.

In addition, Master Dan actually took Hemei's money when he went back this time. Hemei really hoped that Master Dan would spread the poem in the west.

In the poems here, he is also a person who appears frequently. Hemei wants to spread his reputation through this way.

Of course, the Golden Spoon Tavern is still a gathering place for witchers today.

Before Eben, the last of the four witchers, left, he introduced the newcomers to the owner of the Golden Spoon Tavern, who was also happy to accommodate the mutants.

Therefore, there is no need for Katya to do the demon hunting affairs of Fort Sazar now, and it has started to operate normally, and they have also brought the business to the Cossack territory near Fort Sazar.

After Ward's incident, when the surrounding Cossack territories were in trouble, they would come to Fort Sazar to ask the demon hunters to take action, and they were very generous.

With the increase of the population, the handicraft industry of Sazarburg itself has also been further developed.

Naturally, according to the northern tradition, trade guilds also began to appear.

It was precisely because of this that Herme called together powerful people in her territory to start a discussion on the guild issue.

"You mean, each guild has to pay three times the usual tax, and the internal laws of the guild must always be under your decree, so that you can get the approval from Fort Sazar?"

In the meeting room of the main castle, the powerful people of Sazarburg gathered together.

There are Cossacks with shaved heads, rich merchants, and well-dressed handicraftsmen.

These people have different identities and social status, but one characteristic is that they all have a certain right to speak in this town.

Either has influence in a certain industry, or is a leader in a certain industry.

It was an old man who was speaking, the earliest and oldest elder of Sazarburg, a member of the first settlers.

He is now the leader of the Bakers Guild in Sazarburg, the strongest guild in Sazarburg.

"Yes, Elder Harlan."

Herme, who was sitting on the main seat, gave an affirmative answer, and Herme kept everyone's gentle smiles throughout the whole process.

Behind him were Viato and Marondo, who stood solemnly behind Herme with their backs straight.

Herme's words set off a murmur and a discussion began.

Many people here entered the palace of the ruler for the first time, looking at those expensive brocades and precious utensils, which made them feel timid.

This is a place that used to have nothing to do with them, but now they are standing here.

But now, when it comes to his own interests, those cautiousness and timidity disappeared immediately, and he immediately started discussing with the people around him.

However, they haven't directly quarreled. After all, Herme is a ruler who has won many battles and is quite famous among Cliff's followers. Many people are in awe of this.

As for why they reacted like this, it was because the guild tax was too high.

Trade guilds, which are formed by those engaged in these industries to safeguard their own interests, are also conducive to increasing productivity in the industry.

For the rulers, the biggest role of this kind of guild is to share the pressure of the city's grassroots governance for the rulers.

Their existence can indeed share a lot of pressure for the rulers, and can also effectively organize industrial production.

But at the same time, as their power grows, they also have bargaining power in front of the ruler.

And as the guild's history gets longer and longer, some problems will also appear, that is, the guild actually monopolizes the industry.

Any outsider who wants to set foot in this industry will be attacked by the guild. They can only go to the guild to do free labor and be exploited for decades before they can be recognized.

Even new technologies, if they threaten the development of the guild, will be resisted by the guild.

Of course, it will take at least two or three generations for this to happen.

Generally speaking, guilds have advantages and disadvantages.

But it is a necessary part in this productivity environment.

Herme never intended to ban the guild from appearing, this thing could enhance one's own strength.

So the biggest issue in this discussion is actually guild tax and legal issues.

"Commander Herme, isn't the guild tax you stipulated too high? There are also laws and regulations. We are all professionals and we all know how to manage ourselves. Isn't this a bit..."

The elder continued to speak, which was the voice of everyone here, so everyone looked at Herme, hoping that he would make some concessions.

Especially on the legal issue, the guilds are playing with the village rules by themselves, so if you want to get in the way, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

"That's the north, Harlan, but this is Harkland, a land full of monsters, not to mention all kinds of robbers, and the threat of those Harklanders in the distance, so I must collect as many monsters as possible." Some resources. And my decree is supreme, and it is for this reason that I will not interfere with the daily production inside unless there are any major problems."

These greedy guys are unwilling to pay more for Fort Sazar. As powerful people in this town, you can't pay for this.

As for the issue of laws and regulations, that's even simpler. He doesn't want to be troubled by the village regulations within the guild in the future, so he has to leave a hole for himself to intervene.

Herme was still calm on the surface, but he was scolding in his heart. If it wasn't for his status, he would have started to criticize these people a long time ago.

And Herme has the confidence to say this. Fort Sazar, as the town he built by himself, undoubtedly allows him to do so.

Things were just as he expected, the complexions of these powerful people changed, but in the end, no one got angry, and finally Harlan came out to speak on behalf of everyone.

"Commander Herme, we understand, we agree."

There was a lot of helplessness in the elder's tone, and those powerful people also looked bitter, who would be comfortable if they had to pay so much more money all at once.

But fortunately, a lot of money can be made here, and the pressure on everyone is not too great. As for the hole, I can only say that it is a bit open.

"Then today's meeting will end here, everyone, you can retreat."

Hemei waved her hand, indicating that everyone here can retreat, and everyone in the lower table got up one after another, and then filed out.

After the last person left, Marendo, who had been standing silently behind Herme, finally spoke,

"Commander Herme, is there something wrong with this? The guild tax is indeed higher than usual, and there are management problems. Will it lead to the loss of these people?"

As a standard Adian, Marondo thinks that Herme's behavior is a bit unreasonable, which is not suitable for the development of the guild.

"Lost? Are they willing? Sazarburg is the most profitable place in Hackland, and they are willing to get rid of this huge benefit? Could it be that they dare to move to the land of the Cossacks? I'm afraid they won't be robbed every minute. left."

Although the land of the Cossacks is still at peace, how could the good old people put down their work because of this.

Therefore, going west of the Zaar River is still regarded as a matter of death.

And you atamans don't want the northern caravan to skip their middlemen, so in many cases, the robbery encountered by the caravan will be very outrageous.

Now the goods are still sent to Sazarburg by the northerners, and then subcontracted to the Cossack caravans waiting here.

"Don't worry, they earn so much money, and this money is only rare, and they will accept it in the end. These guys know that the current business of Sazarburg is ultimately tied to me, making money in my system, then Follow my rules."

Herme's tone was full of a tone of "you can't help me", and he did have the confidence.

Hearing this, Marondo didn't say much.

The people below could indeed only complain a few words, they had nothing to do with Herme.

"By the way, what's the next thing to do? Viator? I kind of forgot today's schedule."

Seeing that the topic stopped, Herme asked about today's matters.

He has been relatively busy recently, so these matters were left to the attendants.

"Ah, you don't have anything to do today. Mayor Dunwa has already taken care of the rest. But according to the plan, you have a date with Miss Katya this afternoon."

Some time ago, Hemei officially appointed Dunwa as the mayor of Fort Sazar.

Although Dunwa has been performing the duties of the mayor of Sazarburg, his status as mayor has not been implemented, because he is an inhuman race after all.

Under the current background of Scoia'tael being rampant, even in Hakland, which is far away from the melee in the north, it is considered inappropriate to have a dwarf serve as such a chief officer.

However, out of the idea of ​​taking care of old friends, Hemei still won an official appointment for Dunwa, and also let the dwarves of Sazarburg build a Sazarburg City Hall by the way.

This made the dwarf very grateful, and he worked harder ever since.

Viator was a little absent-minded, and it took him a while to answer when Herme asked him.

Herme didn't care, he knew that this kid had recently taken a fancy to a merchant's daughter, and probably he was thinking about his dream girl.

"Ah, Katya, yes, why did I forget about it?"

Herme rubbed her head, really, how could she forget about this, it really shouldn't be.

Some time ago, Katya didn't know what was going on, and had been sulking at him all the time, ignoring him, and he was busy with his own affairs, so he didn't care.

Then Katya suddenly offered to go out for a horse ride with him. Although Herme was puzzled by this, she agreed anyway, since she actually had a lot of free time.

He later found out that since Bogo reported their situation to Braven, the father-in-law wrote a letter to his daughter, explaining these things to his daughter very earnestly, so there was this active invitation. The awkward eldest lady finally confessed.

And now, Hakland went on to ask the servants to change his clothes.

.

Putting on her classic Ataman outfit, Heme walked out of the main castle.

In the courtyard, servants and soldiers were busy cleaning up.

A lot of people came to the courtyard today, making the environment quite messy.

Amid everyone's salute, Herme rode out of the courtyard.

Herme brought her own guards, and guards were indispensable no matter where they were.

And Katya was waiting outside the main castle. Hetman's daughter was wearing the black suit she wore when she went to Sazarburg, and there was still a beautiful feather on the black cap. She looked very beautiful.

The slim-fitting clothes with black as the main tune showed her figure even more, and the slender legs were even more eye-catching under the blessing of riding boots.

And the dagger on the belt and the beautiful machete made her even more charming.

Obviously, she also dressed up carefully.

Seeing Herme, Katya's eyes showed joy, but then turned back to calm.

Hemei was not surprised by this at all. He didn't know how many times he had seen such a scene. This young lady's daily life was to suppress her emotions, and she always liked to put on a cold face for herself.

While this was useful, it was obvious that she had worn the mask for too long and couldn't put it down.

From the bottom of my heart, Herme didn't like this very much, it affected their communication too much, and Herme often felt as if she was deciphering the code.

"Katya, to be honest, be honest. It's tiring to watch like this. Just show your emotions. Don't keep hiding them. Telling the truth like this is very tiring."

When Zema came to Kajia's side, Hemei subconsciously uttered this sentence. He would definitely not dare to do this in normal times.

This morning, he had been thoroughly talking with those guild representatives. He was really tired, so seeing that Katya was still dishonest as always, he was really tired, so he subconsciously said what was in his heart.

Then he felt something was wrong, grass, this is poking a hornet's nest.

A layer of blush appeared on Katya's face, and then she became angry from embarrassment, like a cat with fried fur.

This series of reactions was like changing faces, making Herme look stupid.

To be honest, it was the first time he saw this young lady like this.

It's normal for Gettleman's daughter to react like this. This is the first time someone has pointed out her petty psychology, so she staged such a change of face.

However, she still has a strong control over her emotions, and she quickly returned to her original state, but the redness that flashed across her face from time to time undoubtedly showed that her mood was still not calm.

"Ah, ahem, let's go."

Herme changed the topic clumsily, but the other party also needed this, and Katya also cooperated very well, signaling Herme to go first.

And when Katya couldn't see his face, the corners of Hemei's mouth couldn't help but play out.

I saw something good.

This is his biggest idea right now.

But in a place that Herme couldn't see, Katya breathed a sigh of relief for what she had done before.Annoyed by embarrassment and gaffe.

Next, the two naturally rode their horses forward on the avenue of Sazarburg. This time they planned to go outside for a run.

The avenue of Sazarburg is still as prosperous as ever, and merchants and street vendors can be seen everywhere.

The guards of Fort Sazar didn't drive away these vendors under Herme's order, and drove them all away.

So as long as the road is clear, it doesn't matter.

Hermi still liked this kind of pyrotechnic scene. Although driving away all the vendors made the street look very orderly, but that would be too lifeless.

Herme watched the scene for a while, and suddenly found that Katya was staring in one direction, so he looked over, and then saw four big men covered in tattoos dragging a killed pterodactyl on the street As they walked, they were surrounded by curious people.

"Who are those people?"

Katya's tone was full of doubts. It was the first time she had seen these people. As a person who often moves in and out of Fort Sazar, she shouldn't have no impression of the person who hunted and killed such a powerful pterodactyl.

Herme took a look and remembered who it was. Isn't this the Clinfeld predator? Why did these people come to Hakland.

"Clingfield Marauders, a well-known monster hunter in the north. Some people say that they once killed the entire subspecies of Kaedwenian dragons. I didn't expect to come to Hakland."

Hemei told Katya about the origins of those big men, and he still had a deep memory of this group of mercenaries.

After all, the group of people who participated in the dragon hunting journey in the original book were very distinctive and had distinctive personalities, which left a deep impression on Hemei in his previous life, so he immediately thought of these big guys.

Watching these people carry the huge pterodactyl over there, Herme thought deeply.

He was wondering if he needed to manage some of these people?It's a demon hunter and a monster hunter again, and there are more and more "capable people" on the territory.

"But Katya, don't focus on these things today, we should continue our outing, shouldn't we?"

Herme then said to Katya, putting aside the things in her mind.

The most important thing right now is the trip with Katya, so don't make the priority today.

"Well, let's continue."

Katya also takes her mind off those awesome monster hunters, yeah, what matters now is this date.

And Herme saw the Klinfeld predators, and the predators naturally saw them too.

"Who were those two young men just now? They were so gorgeously dressed. Are they the young master and young lady of the ruler of this town?"

A predator asked after Herme left, his tone was full of disdain, obviously because he was very displeased with the young man,
"Ha, that's Commander Herme and his fiancée. Didn't you recognize such a famous person?"

Another predator said with a slight sneer.

But just when the two of them were about to "communicate" with each other on a daily basis, the boss of the predator spoke,
"Stop talking nonsense, both of you, and move your stuff to the store, so you don't run into Dorrigaray, and he'll have to talk about animal protection again. Then we'll have to Being delayed, Yarpan and the others are still waiting for us to drink at the Golden Spoon Tavern, let them wait too long and the dwarves will make trouble again."

The leader's words made them all quiet down immediately, and they moved the giant pterodactyl obediently.

But one predator couldn't help but open up the chatterbox.

"By the way, those who participated in the dragon hunting back then, it seems that Yennefer didn't come to Hackland. I met Ike a while ago, and he was still as fanatical as ever, and he was helping people hunt monsters everywhere. There is still a point. I don’t accept money, and I don’t know when there will be more followers around me.”

On their way to Harkland with the Yarpen boys, the Marauders encountered Geralt and Dandelion.

Although they had conflicts in the past, they were all things in the past, so they camped together very much, and then exchanged experiences over the years with each other.

Then from Geralt's description, they knew that coming to Hakland was definitely not a loss, as they knew from Geralt's obviously much more glamorous attire.

This land is like in the legend, full of monsters and opportunities to make money everywhere, it is a place like a fish in water for them.

"What? Ike is still alive? Grass, shouldn't that guy have died somewhere? Why is he still fighting demons? Grass, this bastard who doesn't take money is still there, why didn't he die in some hole? In his words, it was a well-deserved death."

For those who are engaged in the monster hunting industry, Ike's reputation is indeed notorious. When others were still doing business, he directly gave it for free.

Then everyone naturally chooses the free one, no one can beat him.

But at least everyone considered him to be one of their own, and the resistance was not too great, so they just cursed him to die early, instead of intercepting and killing him or something.

"As for Yennefer, how could she come here, that female sorceress is not us bitter warriors, she is not as mentally troubled as Dorrigaray, she can't come here, she is busy with her own witch It's a trick."

"Ha, I remembered her naked butt, I have to say, that witch is really annoying enough, but the butt is really good, I really regret not pinching it more, and the breasts and Legs, it's amazing."

A marauder said after the leader, his face full of nostalgia.

Then there is the pity, they almost raped that damned sorceress back then, and they stripped half of their clothes, but the result is still, alas.

But the expression on his face collapsed in the next second, because he saw Dorrigalei standing in front of them full of vigor.

And the next plot is naturally self-evident.

It was several days later that Herme realized that her territory almost had all the members of the dragon hunting team unknowingly.

After knowing this, he couldn't help but lament that fate is really ingenious, and he actually made this group of people get together unknowingly.

.

"The planks should be resurfaced."

Heme and Katya were walking side by side on the road of the Earl of Sazaburg. They were surrounded by forests and hills that were always abundant in the Cossack land. There was already a little snow on it, and some The small altar belonging to the northern gods should have been built by some travelers.

The horse's hooves stepped on the rotten wooden boards, and Herme looked at the wooden boards under her, and said involuntarily.

It is indeed convenient to pave the road with wooden boards. After all, once the wooden boards are cut out and thrown on the road, it will be done.

The inconvenient thing is that as the wood boards rot to a certain extent, the wood boards should be re-laid, but this re-laying does not require much manpower.

It is best to build stone roads, but since there are no stone roads, we can only throw wooden boards on it as a temporary road.

Behind the Earl of Sazarburg and his fiancée were twenty fully armed guards. They were all fully equipped and looked like an iron man, looking quite mighty.

Although this is his own territory, he still has to bring enough guards, but the significance of their existence is mainly to make people aware of Herme's identity.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for a ruler to be besieged by good people in the territory, and it would be even more shameful if he was accidentally stabbed to death by good people in the battle.

But this is actually a little redundant, because Katya is by Herme's side, and her reputation has long been known throughout the countryside.

But Hemei couldn't do this, because then he would be spoiled by his wife, and his dignity and the need to rule did not allow him to do so.

"I remember a village earlier, what is it called? The honey produced there is very good, Katya, let's go and taste it together."

"It's the beehive village."

Katya gave the answer immediately, and then a nostalgic look appeared on her face, and she licked her lips slightly with her tongue,
"The honey there is indeed very good. Even in Kulun, it is difficult to find such good honey. There is still too little traffic in the Cossack land. Otherwise, such a good thing should have been on the table of the Atamans long ago. food."

"Yes, the problem of traffic is indeed too big."

Herme agreed, in the sparsely populated Cossack land, this kind of problem is really big,
"That is, after the boardwalk was built here, such goods can flow out. Alas, this road is really difficult to repair. I have been planning to build a road for every village in the territory that can go directly to Sazar Fort roads, but many villages are always relocated periodically, and a lot of resources are wasted.”

Migration, this is a characteristic of many villages in the Cossack lands. After one piece of land was exhausted, many villages moved to another piece of land to reclaim the land, and then left after the land was exhausted.

This is why Sazaburg can absorb many local immigrants at the beginning. On the one hand, there are no personal constraints in the Cossack villages. On the other hand, migration is a habit of the locals and an integral part of their lives.

"Cossacks are like this. They move freely and come and go at will. However, when the population of the village reaches a certain level or some special resources are discovered, the migration cannot continue, because at that time, the benefits brought by settled production will be greater."

Katya went on to say that this is the history of the development of the settlements in the Cossack land, and the towns on this land are now developed in this way.

"I still hope that all the Cossacks in my territory will settle down. I can provide them with tools and technology to help them promote productivity."

"By the way, we should also strengthen the control of these residents, and turn them into human and material resources that can be mobilized at any time."

Katya pointed out Herme's most fundamental idea without hesitation.

In this regard, Herme just smiled a little embarrassedly.

In fact, when facing Katya's breaking things like this in the first place, Hemei was still easily suppressed, but she got used to it after getting along for a long time.

Because although Katya said so, she didn't have much resistance to these in her heart.

Her answer to this was that, as Gettleman's daughter, her father had told her these things, so she always knew where her ass was sitting, so she never resisted such things.

Herme and Katya had a very happy chat. The two talked about many things in the Earl of Sazarburg. This was the first time they had such a conversation, and then the two found that many of their thoughts were the same.

For example, they are all very confident about their own abilities, and they never have any fantasies.

In the eyes of the elders, this is called not having the vigor of young people, but they like it very much.

At this point, they chatted more and more vigorously, unknowingly, the guarding knights were getting farther and farther away from them, and the knights slowly followed them about ten meters away.

Marondo is a person who knows how to read the atmosphere, and he immediately saw that the two of them obviously needed to talk alone, so he dragged Viato, who didn't know what was going on, to the back and waited obediently. .

Viator was quite puzzled by this at first, but after Marondo glared at him several times, he also understood the situation and kept silent so as not to spoil the atmosphere on Herme's side.

And on the side of Hemei and Katya, as the conversation increased, they also completely let go. Katya didn't always keep a cold face, and showed more of her emotions and thoughts.

Some things are just so close.

For a long time, Herme had a good impression of Katya, and Katya also developed a good impression in the process of getting along with Herme.

But now, this foot is finally made up, and the two of them are naturally more like an unmarried couple.

"Why do you feel a little cold?"

Just as the two were approaching the Beehive Village, Katya suddenly uttered these words and flinched involuntarily.

The air-conditioning came suddenly, and I felt cold all of a sudden. I have to say that this is really strange.

Herme was looking at the honeycomb village in front of her. This village was making a lot of money from producing honey, so she hired dwarf craftsmen from Fort Sazar to repair her village.

When renovating the houses, they also built wooden walls and re-planned the village, so it looks much better than the average Cossack village.

Hearing Katya's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly he saw snowflakes floating in front of him at some point, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.

Then, on the field of the Beehive Village, two black vortexes that were constantly fluctuating suddenly appeared.

In the vicinity of the vortex, a large amount of frost has appeared, and this frost is still increasing.

Hound-shaped creatures covered in ice armor rushed out of the vortex. These monsters bared their fangs and claws, and looked quite abominable.

This image instantly awakened Herme's memory, damn it, isn't this the dog of the wild hunting dog?

And the next moment, the Wild Hunt cavalry wearing skull-shaped armor appeared in the vortex. Their armor was full of spikes, and their bodies exuded a frosty air. They were holding weapons decorated with skulls and spikes.

This made these guys full of sinister spirit. Looking at the underworld, Herme knew that this was a group of elves playing tricks, but seeing this scene, they were still shocked.

They rushed to the village without hesitation, and the scattered villagers and sentinels were quickly killed under the surprise attack.

However, the village's alarm bell was sounded immediately, and all the Cossack men and women in the village rushed out with swords.

The Cossacks were not frightened by the terrifying appearance of the Wild Hunt, they bravely stepped forward to fight these monsters, but under the galloping Wild Hunt cavalry and those hounds, they still seemed too powerless.

Although the Cossacks worked hard, they were still losing ground.

Subconsciously, Herme wanted to pull Katya away, and he grabbed the reins of the eldest lady's war horse. How could Wild Hunt appear here?
Katya was obviously shocked by this scene, so that she didn't react to Herme's actions at all. She knew about Wild Hunt, but she didn't expect to face Wild Hunt one day.
(In the supplementary setting of CDPR, the Wild Hunt is now a cross-world slave hunting team. They will pretend to be ghosts and catch slaves in various worlds, and the world of the witcher is the place where they come most often.)
Only the Wild Hunt had clearly noticed the group from the start, as a troop of Wild Hunt cavalry was charging towards them.

The horseshoes of the skeleton warhorse stomped heavily on the ground, and the scene seemed to shake the world. Hemei knew that it would be too late to run this distance, so she bravely faced what she could do now.

But facing these monsters with two riders is like hitting a stone with a pebble, but the next moment, Herme's guard knights bravely surpassed Herme under the leadership of Marondo, and hedged against the Wild Hunt.

Although facing such a monster, the knights are very afraid, but what is more important is Herme's life. If they lose Herme and run away, they will almost die in society.

The two teams collided fiercely. For a while, everyone was turned on their backs. Some people were stabbed by unlucky luck, and some people fell under the horses and were trampled. The cruelty of horseback riding was vividly displayed.

But this was only the beginning, and the cavalry who were still alive had to continue fighting, and the morale of the knights was even stronger because they saw that these monsters could be killed.

Seeing this, Herme and Katya drew out their scimitars and rushed forward. Many Wild Hunt cavalry fell under this round of impact, only a few cavalry remained, and Maji could defeat them.

After a while, the remaining Wild Hunt cavalry were also dealt with by Herme and the others. Herme found that her elven scimitar was very effective in slashing the Wild Hunt. The solid armor was broken in minutes in front of it, and those wild hunters Hunter also let out a scream.

Herme looked at the Beehive Village, and saw that the flames had ignited at some point, and there were still wild hunting soldiers on horseback or on foot rushing into the village with their war dogs.

The sound of fighting was still heard there, and the Cossacks continued to resist.

Hemei pulled Katya behind, and he planned to run away. The number of wild hunting at the moment is definitely not something he can solve.

As for the reputation of being a coward that necessarily deserves it, so be it, it's better to be a coward than to be in a battle where death is certain.

But just as Herme was about to call for everyone to retreat, a knight rushing out of the village attracted everyone's attention.

"In the name of the holy book! Demons, go to hell, Ike in Lower Dressler will fight with you to the last moment!"

A blue knight provoked a Wild Hunt with a lance, and then drove his horse to knock over several Wild Hunt soldiers and hounds. This man was so brave that the Wild Hunt couldn't stop him from advancing.

The knight's lance broke after flying another Wild Hunt, but the next moment he pulled out the knight sword at his waist and slashed left and right, each blow could overturn a Wild Hunt.

Then he bravely rushed into a portal against the Wild Hunt, and then rushed out of another portal covered in frost. None of this affected the knight to continue fighting. He was still slashing the Wild Hunt violently, but now it was The Wild Hunt retreated in front of him.

As for the portal he rushed into, there was a violent explosion, blowing up the nearby Wild Hunt by the way.

This knight was not simply reckless, and Herme suddenly realized it.

Herme knew Ike's identity, but she didn't expect him to be so fierce.

What surprised him even more was still to come, because two more people came out of the village.

The two eyes of one of them are covered with tree root-like lines, but his fighting is still flexible, so it can be seen that the lack of eyes does not affect his combat effectiveness at all.

The other holds a flaming sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, and his eyes are very striking.

Those eyes were extremely cloudy, but it made me feel that everything in the world was contained in it, and there were even scenes from other worlds.

Both of them also had the badge of the Snake School on their bodies, and the Wild Hunt fell down in front of them like wheat harvested by farmers.

Moreover, behind these two demon hunters, many Cossacks rushed out, defeating the Wild Hunt steadily.

Combined with those eyes, Herme realized who it was. Isn't this the founder of Viper School, Iva Xieyan?
