Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 35 35. Catching the Predator

On the road, as Lan En expected, simple traps were placed in several places.

Not very complicated, similar to what hunters do to catch wild animals.

Lan En's observation ability dismantled these arrangements.

The roaring bear head necklace around his neck was hanging securely, which made Lan En even more at ease.

Because this shows that there is no trace of magical involvement in this area.

Everyone tracked all the way to a cave.

Lan En signaled to Philip behind him at the entrance of the cave that this was the hiding place of the murderer.

The witcher felt the wind direction at the entrance of the cave, and determined that there was only one exit from the cave.

The sergeants prepared in a relaxed atmosphere, with a kind of iron lantern hanging on their chest.

A candle is placed in the middle of the fully enclosed iron box, leaving only a small window that can be opened and closed on the outside.

The structure of this kind of lantern can gather the light to illuminate forward, and hang it on the chest through a layer of armor, and it will not feel hot and scalded.

It's a kind of medieval war wisdom.

The sergeants filed in, and the movement of the armor colliding and rubbing against each other seemed urgent and dense under the echo of the cave.

Yes, Lan En and the soldiers didn't care about concealment at all at this time.

In the dim light of the fire, people could vaguely see a strange figure panicking in the depths of the cave.

"Run, bastard! Run faster and see where you can go!" shouted a leading soldier with undisguised malice and anger. "Dare to eat people in Duenhan! You don't even want to be hanged, we will tie you to a pyre and burn you alive to make you atone for your sins!"

But even though he yelled like this, the shield in his hand never came down from his face.

This undoubtedly helped him.

A stone flew out from the depths of the cave, and hit the shield with a "bang".

The shield was slightly tilted, but it returned to its posture in the blink of an eye.

There is no doubt that criminals who can eat people are the most threatening category. Don't let them be caught without a fight.

If the stone thrown just now was not blocked by the shield, it would probably hit the soldier's helmet directly.

The helmet can effectively protect the head, but this structure determines that even if the helmet is slapped twice by the enemy, the people inside will be dizzy.

Not to mention a heavy sling.

The unarmed skill of the Yeniceri troops in history is the famous "Yenicheri slap".

"Resist! Okay! Continue to resist!"

The footsteps of the soldiers became faster, the anger of being trampled on their beliefs, and the resentment of wearing armor and going deep into the swamp broke out together.

Lan heard York shouting too.

"Dog, we will let you beg to be burned quickly!"

Finally, a man couldn't bear the threat of the approaching outside, threw more than a dozen slings like crazy, and then pounced on him.

All the stones are blocked by the shield soldiers in front of the team.

And this man really wanted to know what terrible punishment he was about to face. In Lan En's view, his purpose of rushing forward was to seek death rather than survival.

A dagger that was as long as the forearm didn't protect the torso at all, and slammed into the soldier's blade while dancing wildly.

"He doesn't want to live anymore, don't kill him here."

The demon hunter has low-light vision, and the murderer's little thoughts were completely seen by Lan En, so he simply opened his mouth to remind him.

What this guy has done is completely worthy of all the torture in this world.

These veterans cooperated very well. While the murderer was entangled with one of the soldiers, the three sword and shield soldiers directly surrounded him with their shields.

The three shields squeezed inward, and the murderer's arm holding the dagger was stuck in the seam, and it snapped off with a click.

After screaming in vain, several one-handed swords pierced through the gap in the shield.

The tip of the sword was all pointing downwards, most of which pierced the thigh.

Things have come to this point, it can be said that the dust has settled.

The remaining nearly ten soldiers didn't even make a move.

A group of people dragged and dragged the beast out of the cave, exposing it to the sun.

Only then did everyone see his appearance clearly.

Pale skin, sunken eye sockets, body shape data quite fit with what Lan En provided.

He was wearing a black open animal skin vest, and there was no other clothing on his upper body.

The palm of a human hand serves as a pendant, and the cord is threaded through the wrist bones and worn around his neck.

The palm was cut off from the wrist, and it seemed to have undergone antiseptic treatment, keeping it plump without being dried but not smelly.

In order to prevent him from escaping, the soldiers simply left two holes with their swords on the soles of his feet.

From the instep to the center of the foot, it is transparent up and down.

As for whether it will be infected in the swamp?

He is going to be burned at the stake, I don't care if he will be infected?
Philip was in a good mood.

"Thanks to you, master. Otherwise, the bastard is hiding here, and we don't know how hard it would be to catch him!"

"Just remember the bounty. Huh, this bastard smells so much and heavy, it makes me almost sick to my stomach."

"Don't worry about the bounty! We captured him alive, and the bounty will definitely not be less!"

Lane nodded, and he also agreed with Philip.

Life is worth more than death.

But looking at the cannibal who was still howling, Lan En took a little seriously and made a suggestion to Philip.

"Completing the task is a good thing, but let me say one more thing, that guy should not be alone."

"Huh? And the murderer?"

Philip turned pale with shock, but Lan shook his head and waved his hands.

"He's the only one who committed crimes in Durnham, but what I'm saying is, this guy should belong to a group of cannibals."

"how do you know?"

The sergeant looked at Lan En suspiciously, and the young man raised his chin, pointing to the palm necklace on the murderer's chest.

"Look at that necklace. The palm of a human being has been treated cleanly and hangs around the neck. This is an obviously ceremonial ornament, and it will only be born if you are in a targeted group." Ceremonial' and 'ornamental' needs."

Philip's eyes were as clear as those of a child.

Seeing this, Lan En pursed his lips and touched his forehead.

"Let's put it this way, believers of the eternal flame will leave flame patterns all over their bodies, but others will not do so."

"Oh~ I see." Philip nodded up and down, "You mean he believes in a cannibal sect?"

"You can think so." Lan En reluctantly agreed with this statement.

"Look at that palm necklace, the wrist cut has obviously been processed, and the wrist bone can be exposed cleanly. The embalming method is also very good, which shows that they have eaten a lot of people, and they can even use the palms of these people to find out a set. The flow of the ornaments. They're organized, Philip."

Lan En earnestly told him to be careful, and it would be better to strengthen the patrol of the area with security forces.

But Philip said, "I can't do it, Master."

The man spoke in a very flat tone, so light that it didn't seem like he was talking about a group of organized cannibals, but a few mischievous children.

"We only have so many people, and we can't afford to support them if there are too many."

"Maybe you don't believe it, this world is not like this. For more than ten years, I feel like I have lived in a different world. Kings, you hit me, I hit you, and the blood flowed all over the ground, but I don't know why. .In the past, no one in Waylon would steal children no matter how poor they are, but now I have received dozens of reports of missing children in the past two months. We have to deal with this first, otherwise the farmers will not have the heart to farm the land with peace of mind. ?”

"People's hearts are broken, master. I can only say that when I meet the cannibal sect, I will pay them off, but if I don't. In this world, how much can a king control?"
