The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 10 Beast Tide
At the same time, on a tree in the distance.

The student who shot the cold arrow before was already dumbfounded at this moment, looking at the scene in front of him, and even lost his reaction.

"Ride... a knight!?"

The student opened his mouth wide, and fear surged from the bottom of his heart. As soon as his legs were weak, he fell from the tree, and when he got up, he desperately wanted to escape.

"Do you want to leave?"

Sauron's eyes flashed, he bent his bow and set his arrow in a calm manner, and then an arrow shot out, piercing the opponent's back with precision.

Pfft!
The fleeing student fell to the ground, struggled twice and then remained motionless.

Sauron turned around and looked at Amos.

"knight!"

Amos tightly covered his wound, with a look of despair on his face, tremblingly said: "You are actually a knight! How could you be promoted to a knight!?"

Sauron had no expression on his face, and the crossed sword rested on Amos' neck.

"Tell me, who sent you to kill me?" Sauron asked.

"……do not know."

Amos shook his head and said with a sad smile: "I only know that the man has a Western accent, and he gave me a sum of money to find a way to kill you."

"That's all?" Sauron frowned slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"I swear, I'm not lying."

Sensing Sauron's killing intent, Amos begged quickly: "I'm sorry, Master Sauron, it's all because of my fascination."

"Please forgive me."

"As long as you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to give this to you!"

As he spoke, Amos stretched out his hand to his bosom.

"go to hell!"

The next moment, Amos suddenly stood up with a ferocious expression on his face, and rushed towards Sauron.

laugh!
Sauron was expressionless, and pierced Amos' chest with a sword.

Amos' expression was stiff, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

After killing Amos, Sauron frowned slightly.

From the other party, he didn't get much useful information. He only knew that the person who wanted to kill him was indeed from the western region.

"It seems that in a short time, I can't leave the capital!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly. Due to the disappearance of the lord of Night Crow City, there are probably too many people in the western region who don't want to be alive.

Therefore, at least for a short period of time, Sauron could only stay in the capital, and only here would people in the western region have any scruples.

Afterwards, Sauron bent down and rummaged through Amos.

In the end, Sauron got more than a dozen gold coins from Amos and the others. For commoner students, this may be quite a lot, but to Sauron, it is really nothing.

"Talking is better than nothing."

Sauron shook his head, disposed of the corpse, then turned and left.

Soon, another two hours passed.

For Sauron, who had been promoted to a knight, the Birch Forest wasn't too dangerous. As long as he didn't step into the deepest part of the forest, almost nothing could hurt him.

Roar! !

Just as Sauron was resting on the spot, there was a sudden roar in the distance, as if a terrifying monster was roaring deep in the forest.

Sauron frowned slightly.

At this time, the woods in front of him shook for a while, but a short student ran out in a panic, with a shocked expression on his face.

"What's going on?" Sauron said in a deep voice.

"Beast tide! It's a beast tide!!"

The short student looked terrified and said, "A beast tide broke out in the depths of the birch forest, and those large monsters have gone crazy!"

While talking, the short student ran away rolling and crawling.

"Beast tide? How is this possible?"

Sauron frowned slightly, and a thought flashed in his eyes. The Birch Forest was the proving ground of the Holy Radiance Academy. The number of monsters in it was limited, and the possibility of a beast horde was almost zero.

At this moment, another roar came from the depths of the forest.

Sauron's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he didn't run away outside, but walked quickly in the direction of the roaring sound.

After being promoted to a knight, Sauron already possessed a certain amount of power to protect himself.

Blindly avoiding danger is not a long-term solution. Perhaps now, he can rely on his status as a member of the Holy Knight Academy to stay in the capital.

But in the future, one day he will return to the Western Territory.

At that time, danger will come one after another. If we don't go through some storms now, how will we face the real enemy in the future.

In the forest, Sauron walked forward quickly.

Before he had gone far, there was a roar from the front. Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and climbed up the big tree next to him with his hands and feet.

Condescending, the front view is unobstructed.

However, in the depths of the forest, blue wolves seemed to be mad, with bloodthirsty flashes in their scarlet eyes, and they surrounded several students in groups.

Farther away, a giant bear kept roaring.

The giant bear has gray-white hair, and even lying on the ground, it is three meters high. Its huge size makes it feel oppressive, and the roar makes the surrounding trees shake for a while.

"Mountain Violent Bear!"

Sauron narrowed his eyes and recognized the giant bear. It was the most dangerous monster in the birch forest, and its fighting power was comparable to that of a mid-level knight.

At this moment, the mountain storm bear seemed to be in a state of frenzy.

Scarlet luster shone in those eyes, and the bloody mouth opened wide, roaring at the red knight Myrcella not far ahead.

"Be careful, everyone, something is wrong!"

In the same place, Misera looked serious, staring at the mountain bear, as if thinking about why the beasts in the forest went berserk collectively.

At this moment, the mountain bear suddenly rushed over.

Misera frowned slightly, but reacted very decisively. She drew out a long red sword, and headed towards the violent mountain bear.

At the same time, the surrounding wolves also began to turmoil.

The students surrounded in the center drew their swords one after another, but they all seemed a little at a loss in the face of this group of wild beasts.

There was only one person who was particularly calm.

It was a tall and burly young man, he held two swords, facing the attacking wolves, the swords were sharp and swift.

"knight!"

Sauron's heart moved, and in just a moment, he saw that the young man was a real knight, and the identity of the other party appeared in his mind.

Common genius, Goliath.

The same batch of commoners who entered the Holy Radiance Academy with Sauron, but with outstanding talents, had already been promoted to the knight realm a few months ago, so he could be called a true genius.

Relying on the fighting strength of the knights, Goliath blocked the attack of more than ten blue wolves by himself.

However, Sauron noticed that Goliath seemed to have some scruples. He had been passively defending since the beginning of the battle, and would only counterattack when the blue wolf approached, as if he was guarding someone.

"Evelyn?"

Sauron looked away, but behind Goliath, he saw a familiar figure. It was Evelyn who was frightened unconscious by him when he just crossed.
