Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 74 The Swarm and the Giant Bear

When the founder of the Xiong School moved, it was as if a chariot started to move, and all the people who stood in front of the demon hunter were easily pushed away by him.

And after he pulled out the sword, with several slashes, limbs and heads flew into the sky, and a lot of blood gushed out.

The screams spread immediately, and people dispersed in fear.

The soldiers subconsciously drew their swords and looked in the direction of the commotion.

At Herme's place, when the screams appeared, the guards immediately surrounded him three layers in and three layers out to ensure his safety.

The soldiers outside also protected the guards, ready to deal with all possible enemies.

After learning of King Demawei's death, the guards around Hemei were strengthened a lot.

Both the number of people and the training have been increased, just to prevent such a situation from happening.

When the incident happened, Herme was about to talk to these eastern guests brought by Marondo. When he screamed, he was a little dazed at first, but soon realized what happened. He didn't expect the assassination of Nilfgaard It came so fast.

Thinking of this, Herme felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he strengthened the defense around him, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could see the complete defense in front of him. With so many people protecting him, he felt a lot more at ease.

But subconsciously, Herme still held the Cliff God Emblem on his chest. When holding this thing, he would feel particularly at ease.

And the ataman and the nomadic chiefs who were in front of Herme and behind Marendo who were going to talk to Herme also pulled out their scimitars, looking at the direction of the screams, their guards naturally did the same , everyone is ready to fight.

Some people here are still eager to try, planning to kill the assassin to show one or two in front of Herme.

But it seems that they are not needed right now, because a large number of soldiers have already surrounded the assassin.

Now that the crowd had dispersed, the assassin was naturally exposed. Compared with the soldiers rushing from all directions, the solitary assassin seemed so alone.

Some soldiers were shouting to catch an assassin. After all, so many people rushed to catch an assassin, it seemed to everyone that it should not be too easy.

But then, everyone found that they were all wrong.

The agility of that strong figure's movements and its terrifying strength completely surpassed everyone's imagination.

The soldiers who approached him first fell down one after another in front of him. The sword was so fast that it seemed invisible, and the armor seemed to be non-existent, and it was easily broken by the long sword.

However, the besieging soldiers reacted quickly. Seeing how brave this man was, a group of people raised their shields from all sides, intending to trap this guy with their shields and then capture him.

In the eyes of everyone, the most important thing is how to capture this person.

Dig out of his mouth the secrets he knows, such as who he sent to assassinate Herme.

But then, everyone found that they were wrong.

The tall figure swung his sword, and with this swing, those strong shields became two halves one after another, and then the assassin directly slammed into the front, and swung his long sword while knocking over the soldier in front of him. .

What followed was a dance of killing. Whatever came into contact with the sword was either blood gushing out or limbs being shattered. That scene could be said to be bloody and cruel to the extreme.

Before Anahad, the soldiers who blocked him seemed to be slaughtered. They fell down like dominoes being toppled, and blood pooled into a lake on the ground at an extremely terrifying speed.

Anahad also split the soldiers standing in front of him in half from head to toe, which can be said to be extremely terrifying, and many people were so frightened that they wanted to run away subconsciously.

But in spite of this man's terror, the soldiers continued to fight the terrible assassin, and the Cossacks and nomads also joined them.

Because they have an absolute superiority in numbers after all, and only the people in front can see the bloody killing scene of this assassin, and the people behind cannot see it. , exacerbated his own situation.

And even if they saw it from a distance, there was a group of Hemei's most loyal fighters gathered here. They still bravely rushed towards the assassin, and their bravery naturally inspired others.

In front of Anahad, people come and die, and horses are broken. He is like a high-speed meat grinder, crushing everything in front of him to pieces.

But here is an army with a total of more than 2 people. No matter how brave that person is, facing such a large number of troops, he may only be defeated in the end.

Yes, although Anahad killed many people, until now, he has not succeeded in taking a step forward. His body is covered in blood, and the corpses under his body are beginning to pile up, but he just cannot move forward.

So Herme could still sit on the horse safely and watch the soldiers rushing forward to fight.

Now Herme wasn't even too nervous. Although the assassin looked terrifying, he looked like a lone traveler after all.

After confirming this, Herme didn't panic anymore.

He felt that this guy was a bit stupid, what kind of lone wolf was he doing, or was he doing such an attack with a large army gathered, and he didn't even look at how capable he was.

But then again, this assassin is indeed a little scary, look at the bloody mess he made, but not many people can do this--Herme is riding on a horse after all, and he can still see clearly. What happened on the side.

Sandor, who was lurking in the crowd on the other side, watched this scene with a smile on his face.

Because it's just a small start.

Thinking of this, Sandor touched a ring on his finger, and as he touched it, the ring emitted a faint red light, and then some information that could not be observed by human eyes was emitted.

Looking at the fallen comrade in front of Anahad's hands, a halberdier took a step back in fear.

That monster looked so powerful that it would be death to face it.

He wants to retreat, wants to escape, but his comrades around him are all bravely moving forward, how can he retreat, and there is no way to retreat, everyone is bravely moving forward.

Not to mention the fact that everyone is watching, if he becomes a deserter, everyone will see, then his life will be completely over, and if he fails, he will go to a military court and be hanged.

So all he could do was to slow down his progress and delay as much as possible the time before he came directly to that killing god.

But then, he suddenly felt a movement under his feet, as if something was digging.

The halberdman couldn't help lowering his head, trying to figure out what was going on.

And at the next moment, a Qiqimo broke through the ground, which shocked the soldiers.

But subconsciously, his halberd decapitated the creature.

Qiqimo is a very common monster, belonging to insect-like creatures. They generally have four sharp claws that are easy to dig, and a sharp mouth, and their bodies are covered with solid carapaces that insect-like creatures usually have.

There are Qiqimo activities in many places. In most cases, those who run on the ground are Qiqimo engineers. This kind of monster is very weak. Even an old man with a weapon can kill it, let alone a fully armed one. Soldiers are gone.

But encountering groups of Qiqimo engineers is another matter. When Qiqimo engineers charge in groups, even the demon hunters can only flee.

But hordes of Qiqimo engineers are so common, most of the time they can't be seen at all. As for the stronger Qiqimo fighters, they are more rare.

However, the next thing he discovered was that the soil behind the corpse of the Qiqimo engineer surged up rapidly, and a Qiqimo soldier who was more than one meter tall and nearly three meters long rushed out of the ground.

The Qiqimo warrior is already a problem that needs to be solved by the demon hunter, so when he saw this monster, it was understandable for the soldier to be stunned, because he never expected such a monster to emerge.

Qi Qimo's soldier's reaction was faster than this soldier's. When the soldier was still in a daze, a sharp limb pierced his face. There was no protection on his face, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The Qiqimo warrior immediately rushed to the next victim, and behind it, more Qiqimo were digging out of the soil.

And this kind of scene is constantly happening in the area centered on Hemei.

Surrounded by Qiqimo engineers, countless Qiqimo soldiers broke through the ground, and they launched crazy attacks on all humans they saw.

This caught too many people off guard, and no one thought how a bunch of Qimo would emerge from the ground.

But fortunately, the people gathered here are a group of soldiers, most of them have battle experience, and those Cossacks and nomads fight against such monsters every day. Monsters, they are also to kill.

It's just that with such a battle, the whole scene suddenly became chaotic.

All kinds of shouts kept ringing, there were scenes of fighting everywhere, people fell everywhere, Qi Qimo came out of the ground at every moment, and the current battle could not distinguish the front line from the rear.

The people who were still watching the excitement nearby screamed and fled in all directions. The scene in front of them was too scary to look at. There were monsters emerging everywhere, and they would die if they didn't run away.

Naturally, Herme's side was also affected by the battle, and he himself was forced to fight these monsters.

Just like now, he pierced the spear in his hand into the head of a Qiqimo warrior in front of the horse, causing the disgusting monster to die, and thick and disgusting blood gushed out of it.

The guards around him were also fighting, fighting these monsters that kept breaking out of the ground.

Some people were unlucky, their faces were covered in acidic liquid sprayed out by Qi Qimo, causing smoke to rise from their faces, and the victims could only cover their faces and collapse in pain.

Next, Qi Qimo will take advantage of this opportunity to kill the humans who are forced to kneel down.

"Quickly kill the queens of these Qiqimos! As long as the queen is lost, these Qiqimos will retreat!"

The subconscious Herme shouted to the crowd,

He knows the biological characteristics of Qiqimo. These guys are like ants, and the queen of the ant—in their case, the Queen of Qiqimo—controls everything. As long as the queen is killed, these Qiqimo It will collapse naturally.

But the question is, where can I find Queen Qiqimo now? After calling out that order, Herme realized this.

His eyes scanned the battlefield for several rounds, but he couldn't find Queen Qiqimo.

Thinking about it, these Qiqimos in front of me are obviously driven by people, and Queen Qiqimo is obviously controlled by those people to achieve the purpose of driving the swarm. They will not let Queen Qiqimo come to the battlefield easily .

The most Hemei can do right now is to kill the Qiqimos in front of him. The more Qiqimos are killed, the closer the chaos will be quelled.

The crowd of onlookers has completely run away now, seeing this monster keep appearing, who would dare to stand so close, run to a farther place as soon as possible.

Sandor was naturally among them. He ran further away with the crowd. There were no monsters breaking out of the ground here. Some people continued to look lively, while others continued to run, fearing that they would appear again under their feet monster.

Sandor naturally watched with these desperate spectators. He was very dissatisfied with the current battle situation. The demon hunter was still blocked by soldiers who appeared continuously, and Qi Qimo was also killed by the encircled soldiers. less and less.

Even if there are new Qiqimos in the underground who are constantly joining the battle, they can't keep up with the speed of Adian's killing.

In any case, there are more than [-] soldiers here, and so many soldiers rush up continuously, even the grinder will grind these monsters to death, and Qi Qimo is not a powerful existence.

At this moment, Sandor really felt that he was a bit overbearing, thinking that if he played all the cards in his hole, he would definitely succeed.

But at the moment, it seems that this is still not enough. It is not enough to face these monsters with 2 people.

However, Sandor wasn't too panicked. He still had a backhand. This was his last trick to suppress the bottom of the box. After using it, it was completely out of stock.

But right now, it seems that it is time to activate these things, and one of them is naturally Queen Qiqimo, who is also a powerful monster, and if used well, it is enough to solve the immediate predicament.

The other involved a cult item accidentally acquired by Imperial intelligence.

It was a bear head ornament, and it was produced in the Skellige Islands, and it could be activated by dripping blood on it.

The power of this pendant is very simple, that is to turn people into a giant bear, a bloodthirsty and violent bear.

However, the side effects of this thing are also great.

The wearer often dies directly, and the death is very miserable, often on the way from a bear to a human. Needless to say, how strange the corpse is, even the professors of Vicvaro Academy can't figure out how it happened thing.

And the few who survived, they also survived in the form of completely turning into a bear, or they will always be ruled by the killing intent, and they can only be dealt with in the end.

But there are exceptions, and in Anahad's case, the controlled demon hunter can transform back into a bear after being turned into a bear by the bear head ornament.

And the bear he turned into was much bigger and more powerful than ordinary people.

It's just that whenever Anahad is allowed to use the pendant, his magical control will always be severely weakened.

There was even a time when the witcher used this to get out of control, and killed 13 people at that time, and it would take a lot of time to repair the control afterwards.

So Sandor will always avoid letting Anahad use that thing, it is easy to use, but it is not easy to control.

But right now, it seems that it must be used.

So Sandor touched his bracelet, and with his stroking, Anahad, who was fighting, suddenly stopped his movements.

The spearmen who saw the monster stopped were overjoyed, and they stabbed bravely while shouting slogans.

It's a pity that this was all blocked by the armor on Anahad's body that was several times thicker than that of ordinary knights, and he didn't even penetrate the gap between the armor plates.

The founder of the Xiong faction demon hunter just waved his hand, and the spearmen were blown away, and then he tore off the bear head ornament from his waist.

There was a wound on Anahad's face that was cut open by the arrow, and he directly hit the pendant on it.

Next, a scene that countless people feared happened.

In front of everyone's eyes, Anahad's body quickly "exploded", and in a short period of time, he became a giant bear that was several times larger than the original one. There were still some armor pieces on the giant bear. , this piece of armor is exactly the part of Anahad's body that was destroyed.

After the transformation of the giant bear was completed, a deafening roar sounded,
"Roar!!!"

But misfortunes never come singly, another piece of soil rose from the ground, three meters high, and Queen Qiqimo, five meters long, appeared in front of everyone.

But just when everyone thought that these two monsters were about to wreak havoc, they didn't act immediately.

Beasts are beasts, but that never meant they were brainless.

In fact, in many cases, the beast is the one who is extremely cold-blooded and rational.

As for wild beasts, there is generally only one possibility, and that is the emergence of hunters capable of hunting wild beasts.

Monsters are always the keenest at feeling such things.

Not to mention that the one who came now is also a kind of "monster" in a sense.

In front of them, figures with vertical pupils appeared, which were demon hunters.

One of the figures poured himself a cup of potion, and the other just gave himself a Quen.

And the griffin badge on their chests shows their identities. The badge is shaking now, which is level enough. How much magic power is gathering here.

"Anahad, I didn't expect that I would meet you in such a state. I didn't expect that you would be reduced to such a state."

Looking at the "old friend" who has become a giant bear and has been ruled by the beast's thinking, Elan said sadly.

Anahad attacked his peers and split the order, and Elan has always hated him because of this. Although time has smoothed out many things, that emotion still exists after all.

And seeing him in such a miserable state, Elan still felt sad in his heart.

At this moment, Elan had taken off his hood, revealing his face with white hair and beard, but still looking energetic, and the powerful temperament that belonged to noble warriors also spread.

The soldiers around felt the extraordinaryness of this person, and all retreated one after another, making way for the monster.

Even Qi Qimo seemed to feel some meaning, and walked around this guy.

"You escaped back then, and our duel couldn't be completed. Since that's the case, let us continue the duel from that year now. I, an old man, and a beast are a good match."

Prior to this, Elan had been watching the battle, and he didn't want to directly participate in the ruler's affairs.

No matter how much Cohen begged him, he would not be moved. This is not Elan's indifference. As the founder of the Griffin School, how could he be such an indifferent person.

He showed such an attitude mainly because there are so many soldiers at present, more than 2 people, each of them can solve the problem in front of him by spitting, so there is no need for them to do it.

At most, Elan was wondering how Anahad, who had always been focused on paying money and delivering goods to the witcher business, started to assassinate. This didn't look like his style.

And after seeing Anahad turned into a killing beast driven by Svalblo (the evil god of the archipelago), Elan understood that this "old friend" was manipulated from beginning to end, and he was just behind the scenes of marionettes.

Elan is the most aware of the dangers of Svalblo. After all, he is from the Skelliger Islands.

Although he didn't live there for many days, he still knew about the evil of that evil god, and after he became a demon hunter, he spread this information throughout the entire sect.

It is effective to offer everything to Svalblo in exchange for power, but the price of this power is also huge. Basically, since then, he has completely become a monster driven by Svalblo's killing will.

So Elan decided to come forward. He asked Cohen to deal with Queen Kizimo, and faced this "old friend" himself.

Cohen was naturally overjoyed, he had no hope at all.

When he heard that he was assigned to deal with Queen Qiqimo, he even agreed. He had killed Queen Crab and Spider, not to mention Queen Qiqimo who was obviously easier to deal with.

Cohen wanted to perform well in front of the founder, and then he rushed up.

Elan sent the junior away, and then faced Arnald.

Anahad, who had turned into a giant bear, naturally didn't know what Elan was talking about, but he could fully understand Elan's intent to fight.

How could this monster driven by the evil god's will be afraid of fighting?
So the bear roared, and charged at the founder of the school of griffins, trying to tear him to pieces.

After many, many years, the battle between the bear and the griffin is staged again. After so many years, the two protagonists of this battle have changed a lot.

But the only thing that remains the same is the killing intent between each other.

The giant bear and the hunter rushed towards each other quickly, and a battle that was memorable enough for all witnesses here began.
