Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1438 1410. Attack!

The workshop area at the base of the city wall of Gos Velen was indeed on fire at this time.

Fortunately, it was already late at night and there were not many people in the workshop. Most of them went back to rest.

So when Gerd arrived in a hurry, the first thing he felt relieved about was that there were no casualties.

Berengar, wearing advanced Wolf School armor, has organized all the remaining people in the workshop to evacuate.

The workshops that caught fire inexplicably have become one piece.

The fire was inexplicable and very unusual, because the production of Valyrian steel is a high-temperature operation, and the fire resistance of the building is very good.

But tonight, this place that should not be able to be burned even with fire suddenly caught fire.

Thick smoke billowed up, and the black smoke mixed with the night. It was impossible to see its trajectory, and only the choking smell could be smelled.

Grayish ashes were floating in the hot air, and the flames burned people's skin.

When Gerd rushed here from the other end of the workshop area, he saw a group of dwarf craftsmen who were on the night shift gathered together, each of them like a frightened bird, holding tightly in their hands their forging hammers or chisels for shaping hot metal.

It's like holding on to the only sense of security I have in the dead of night when the situation is unclear.

Among the dwarf craftsmen, there are also two gnomes, a half-elf and two elves.

The performance of the human craftsmen on the other side was almost the same as that of the other side. The two groups looked at each other nervously in the shadow of the swaying flames. No one seemed to trust the other.

If there weren't two fully armed witchers present, they would probably start fighting.

Gerd's hair, which was originally tied into a ponytail, was now scattered due to the intense activity. There were also many black marks of ash on Berengar's long ape-like face.

The two demon hunters breathed a sigh of relief after meeting each other. At the same time, through eye contact, they understood each other - the fire was not normal, and this night was not normal either.

Without saying a word, the two demon hunters immediately set about moving this group of craftsmen out of the workshop area.

But the journey was not smooth.

Originally, it was Gede who led the way, and Berengar acted as a boundary between the non-human craftsmen and the human craftsmen, and everyone moved urgently to the outside together.

But halfway through the journey, a human suddenly pounced on Berengar.

The old witcher was already nervous, with his steel sword already unsheathed and in his hand, but this almost made him swing his sword and chop!

But he suddenly reacted after the man jumped on him.
"hidden!"

Berengar supported the man's body and felt the sticky and slippery touch on his leather gloves. It was the blood oozing out of the man's body!

He suddenly shouted!
"Someone is shooting arrows! Everyone take cover!"

The smell of burning blinded the demon hunters' sense of smell. The swelling sound of the flames heating the air and the sound of burning combustibles were far louder than the sound of tiny arrows cutting through the air.

Therefore, neither Gerd nor Berengar immediately noticed the hidden arrow that was not aimed directly at them.

"Hide!" Gede also shouted in unison.

And with a 'bang', an invisible shock wave burst out from his hand, temporarily extinguishing a small burning building on the roadside, making it easier for people to take shelter inside.

But it was useless. It wasn't that Gerd's actions were slow, or that his impromptu decision was unsound.

But
"Fuck you! I knew it was the Scoia'tael! They wanted to kill us all!"

"These humans are crazy! Run! Or I'll fight back!"

Starting with a man being shot by an arrow and falling to the ground, the trust that was barely maintained by the witchers collapsed in an instant.

The humans and non-human races, who were already on edge due to the tense situation and the atmosphere of racial discrimination, were suddenly hit by an abnormal fire and a hidden attack that must have been man-made tonight!
In just a moment, the crowd collapsed!

The sounds of shouting, hammers hitting human bodies, and blood spurting out made the whole place a mess!
In the deep shadows cast by the flames, the twisted humans and non-human races fought each other like entangled demonic shadows!

"calm down!"

The tall and strong Gede, wearing the thick and solid Bear School high-level armor, shouted loudly. Even if the craftsmen's forging hammers really hit him, he would not even frown.

"Fuck you! Calm down!"

But in the end, seeing that this group of people attacking each other was almost causing more damage than the attack, Ged's face, which had just been shaved but now had a bearded stubble, became furious!
He clenched his fist with the leather gloves equipped with Valyrian steel armor plates, and with a dull sound like a sledgehammer hitting a person, he hit the craftsman's soft and force-absorbing belly, whose eyes were red and face was ferocious!
The man was beaten instantly and fell to the ground, curled up like a cooked shrimp.

Dwarves, elves, humans, half-elves, he beat them all equally! If anyone was so nervous that he lost his mind and started to attack, he would make that person sober up.

Berengar's strategy was the same as his, but this old fellow from the Wolf School's fists were naturally not as smooth and fluent as the bear cub's.

Only with more technical knockouts.

However, even though he has been away from the battlefield for a long time, his skills are still much better than those of amateur craftsmen.

Moreover, the craftsmen had previously worked in workshops, and they were so hot that they were not even willing to wear an extra shirt. Their protection was completely different from that of the fully armed demon hunters.

So it was easy to deal with these frustrated and angry craftsmen.

But just when the two demon hunters, with their all-round advantages in equipment, technology, and physical fitness, suppressed the sudden group emotional collapse.
Just as Gerd's fist knocked down a dwarf who looked like a madman, he immediately supported a human who was lying down and unable to stand steadily.

This man didn't look like he was going to collapse due to his emotions. He kept dodging and trying to hide somewhere else. Therefore, Gede didn't plan to beat him awake, but just prepared to support him.

But just as the man's arm was placed on Gede's arm armor.

Suddenly, the man's sleeves were like a viper that had come to life. They began to split into several ropes and tightly wrapped around Gede's arms!

Tie that man's arms to Gede's!
The man pulled hard, and even though Gede was unprepared and strong as a Bear School student, he was pulled crooked.

At the same time, two daggers stabbed towards Gede's body from the chaotic and frenzied crowd!

The demon hunter's reflexes were so fast that Gerd's right hand holding the sword blocked a dagger heading for his neck in an instant.

The magic shield of [Quen's Seal] that he had cast on himself beforehand deflected the dagger that was aimed at the weak point of the armor's chest and abdomen. The dagger, which was shaped like an armor-piercing cone, failed to penetrate the armor's joint at the most lethal angle, and only scraped a spark on the outer plate of the High Bear School armor.

The three enemies around him have surrounded him.

In this instant, although it was an emergency, Gerd's nerves had been tense from the beginning, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

The boots with external plate armor began to grind the ground and make tiny rotational movements.

This movement can transfer the force of the center of gravity upward from each bone joint.

From the soles of the feet to the knees, waist and hips, and finally the arms, and then swing the long sword like a whip!

With the swordsmanship of the Bear School and the skills that Gerd learned from Lan, Gerd is also making his own progress.

As long as the front of his foot turned an angle of less than 20 degrees on the ground, he was confident that he could amplify his strength all the way to his arms!

Even if he was forced to hold the sword with one hand and the timing was rushed, this sword, after being swung out, was enough to cut three human bodies without plate armor in half horizontally!
He only needs a moment to kill these three bastards who are trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Still want to take action?"

But at this moment, the man who tied himself and Gede with a magic sleeve laughed viciously.

He seemed to be very clear about Gede's swordsmanship style and the characteristics of this swordsmanship.

Therefore, there was no chance for Gede to transfer his center of gravity and accumulate and conduct his strength.

Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly pulled the arms that were tied together.

Of course, he couldn't make the prepared Bear School Demon Hunter stagger like he did just now, but it was enough to disrupt the precise flow of power in his swordsmanship.

Gede felt very uncomfortable. After being pulled, the strength that should have been fully exerted in his arm was only one tenth of what it was!

It looked like an amateur who had never held a sword before was swinging it around randomly!
Therefore, even ordinary people holding daggers could easily take this blow.

"Berengar! I."

Gerd was not rigid. He realized that because one of his hands was entangled, he was now in an uncontrollable disadvantage.

So without even a second's hesitation, the Bear School Demon Hunter immediately wanted to shout for support.

But before he could finish his words.

The sneers of the enemies besieging him were interrupted by the crisp sound of a long sword knocking off a crossbow arrow in the distance!

The enemy's attack came in an instant! Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, they all burst out at once!
While the people here were entangled with Gede, Berengar on the other side was not at all relaxed.

Berengar, who had not fought for a long time and was not particularly talented in combat, was sweating profusely from his forehead protector.

This is the cold sweat of nervousness and also the cold sweat of severe pain.

In the dim, swaying light, he barely managed to knock away a crossbow arrow that blended into the night, but this was already the old witcher's limit.

At the same time, the second crossbow arrow hit the steel collar of his Advanced Wolf School armor, flying away with sparks, but the impact force also penetrated into his neck.

Berengar only felt an unprecedented soreness and swelling in his cervical spine.

He estimated that the cervical vertebrae were slightly dislocated.

Another crossbow arrow pierced directly into his thigh!

This area is a mixed weave cotton armor, without the Valyrian steel outer plates.

After all, the equipment of the Wolf School and the Bear School have differences in defensive capabilities due to their respective fighting styles.

The arrow buried itself in the thigh, stirring and cutting the muscle as it moved.

Berengar was sweating profusely from his eye sockets, but as he half-knelt on the ground with his sword supporting him, he intuitively felt that these people did not seem to want to kill him.

But it was just him, others could die at will.

This made Berengar immediately understand what these enemies who came out of nowhere wanted.

The old wolf supported himself with his long sword, but his hand smoothly touched the hanging point on the armor, and an alchemical bomb was already in his hand.

He planned to use the flash of [Dancing Star] to try to open a way out for them.

But just when the old witcher was about to use the small spark of the [Igni Sign] to ignite the fuse of the bomb.

"."

Suddenly, a cold and silent atmosphere suddenly appeared in this chaotic and frenetic field, causing almost everyone to subconsciously become quiet.

"Dingling bell~"

It was like the sound of a bell echoing in the sky, coming faintly from a distance.

"bump!"

A loud explosion, like the sound of an alchemical bomb, came from the direction of the ringing bell.

Then, one of the three people who were besieging Gede just a moment ago.

A huge blood flower suddenly burst out from his back!
The impact force appeared behind him, but it did not push him forward. Instead, his whole body shook as he just raised the dagger, and he fell to his knees with sore joints.

"bass!"

The dark corners of clothes fluttered in the air, and a tall black shadow stood behind the kneeling person.

Then, under the anxious gaze of everyone, he slightly raised his right hand which was hooked into a claw shape and thrust it forward suddenly!
"Pfft!"

The amount of blood was so huge that it was totally unnatural! It burst out from the lower back of the man kneeling on the ground!
Like a bloody curtain!
