The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 119 My Axe Has Been Thirsting for a Long Time (Part )
Lynn deadpanned, "That joke isn't funny at all."

"That's good. I don't know what's going on in this world these days. It's getting more and more chaotic."

Hearing that there seemed to be something else in the other person's words, Lin En looked at him.

"how?"

Losli said with some fear.

"A village near Haji Fortress was plundered by a group of pirates some time ago."

"They killed everyone in the village, even the women and children."

"For this reason, there are fewer barges plying the Pontar River."

"Although both Temeria and Redania have increased patrol boats on the Pontar River, they have found nothing so far."

Lin En looked at the fog covering the river, which had dissipated a little compared to before.

"Do you know the origins of that group of pirates?"

Losley shook his head. "I don't know. There has never been a large number of pirates in the Pontar River before."

Just then, a sailor ran over with a terrified look on his face.

"Captain, something bad has happened."

"Why are you so flustered? What's going on?"

"There are boats ahead, lots of boats, and they're blocking our way."

"Temerians? Or Redanians?"

The Pontar River flows through four countries: Temeria, Redania, Aedirn, and Kaedwen.

Since their barge had not yet reached the floating harbor, it was still far away from Aedirn and Kaedwen.

Therefore, they are still within the territory of Temeria or Redania.

The Pontar River forms the boundary between Temeria and Redania, but both countries claim ownership of the river.

The two countries have had many conflicts in history over the Pontar River, and both sides have shed a lot of blood.

Finally, after a large number of people died, the two sides, unable to do anything to each other, finally reached an agreement that the Pontar River would be jointly managed by the two countries.

But this will create new problems.

Because drawing national borders on rivers is much more difficult than on land.

Losley prayed in his heart that it was not a Temerian ship.

Because two days ago, he paid taxes to a passing Redanian patrol boat.

He only made a profit from one trip, but if he had to pay taxes twice, he would really want to die.

After he heard clearly what the sailor who came to report to him said, Losley's mood suddenly became mixed with joy and sorrow.

The good news was that the ships blocking the river ahead were not Redanian ships, so he didn't have to worry about paying taxes again.

What's worrying is that the one blocking the way is none other than the lawless pirate group that has been on the rise recently.

"Go, call everyone up on deck, quickly!"

Losley drove the sailor away, then looked at Lynn with pitiful eyes.

He knew that demon hunters were skilled swordsmen.

Not to mention that the other side has more than a dozen dwarf companions who can use axes.

If they're willing to help, that would be great.

"Grandmaster……"

The captain didn't need to finish his words because Lin En already understood what he meant.

He sighed.

"Captain, look, I told you not to talk nonsense. Don't worry, Lord Losley, my companions and I will join the battle."

"After all, if the pirates win, we can't stay out of it."

……

The ship's bell, signaling an emergency, was rung.

The ordinary passengers all hid in the cabins, while the sailors gathered on the deck with their weapons.

When the bells rang, Yarpan and Zoltan, along with their dwarf brothers, also came onto the deck.

However, when he saw so many non-human races appearing on the deck, he almost had a conflict with the sailors under Losley.

"Wait, don't do anything!"

Seeing the tension between the two sides, Losli suddenly felt a little regretful and realized that he had not considered it carefully before.

He only thought that calling up all the witcher's companions would be a great help, but he didn't expect that it would cause panic among his men.

The unrest caused by the non-human race at this time was not as great as that after the First Northern War.

But it ultimately caused a conflict between the Northerners and the non-human races.

Especially in special times like now.

"Yarpen, Zoltan, tell your brothers to come to me."

The witcher's voice echoed from the stern.

Both sides who were about to have a conflict were stunned for a moment.

Then they all looked at the witcher walking towards them.

"Sir Loshili, your men will guard the bow, and my companions and I will be responsible for protecting the stern. We will divide the work and cooperate. Is that okay?"

"This is a very good suggestion, Master. I fully support it."

Of course, Losley couldn't object.

He also took this opportunity to restrain his subordinates.

But just as Lynn led the dwarves towards the stern, his unusually sharp hearing allowed him to hear the sailors' indignant complaints.

"Captain, if we allow so many non-human races to stay on deck with weapons, if they are in league with the Sons of Liberty who are causing unrest in the North, we will be doomed."

"If you ask me, we should have confiscated all their weapons when they boarded the ship and locked them all up in the cabin. That would have been the safest approach."

Losley frowned at the endless complaints of his subordinates.

He finally couldn't help it and stopped the sailors from going to extremes and radicalism.

"That's enough! Shut the fuck up! You're not done yet, are you? Open your eyes wide! If anyone doesn't have blood on their sword, I'll throw him into the water to feed the ghosts!"

On the other side, Yarpan walked towards the stern and glanced at the expression on the witcher's face.

But he smiled generously.

"You heard what they were saying, right? They must be saying bad things about us. Hehe, there are always some people like this, they are not good at anything and they are the number one cause of internal friction."

"But we don't care, because you are our employer, not them. We fight for you with our axes. Lynn, it wouldn't do if you died and no one paid us."

Zoltan also agreed and let out a loud fart.

The smell was as strong as a biological bomb.

Suddenly, the previous depressing atmosphere was instantly dispelled by this stinky fart.

The dwarves laughed and ran to the stern, each taking a position to guard it.

Yarpan, Zoltan and Lynn stayed together.

"You were on the boat the whole time, Lynn. Do you know what happened?"

Lynn replied, "I heard it was a pirate."

Zoltan, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment. "Pirates? Isn't this the Pontar River? How could there be pirates?"

Of course, pirates cannot just plunder at sea.

The Pontar River and the Yaruga River are the most important rivers in the north. They have well-developed river transportation and numerous cargo ships, so it is understandable that pirates would target them.

"There are also pirates who plunder along the river, especially now that times are not peaceful."

Faced with Lin En's explanation, Zoltan shrugged.

He spat twice into his palms.

"Come on, my axe is thirsty for blood. If you come, I'll chop one, if you come, I'll chop two."
