The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 262 Labor is the most glorious
Lin En took out a few bottles of advanced potions and shared them with Letho.

After taking it, the two of them walked towards the direction where the smoke column was burning.

Due to mutations and training, demon hunters can actually make their footsteps as silent as a cat if they wish.

As for the slight noise made by the armor as it moved, there was nothing that could be done about it.

You can't not wear armor, right?
Fortunately, the Grandmaster-level Wolf School armor worn by Lin En and the Grandmaster-level Viper School armor worn by Letho were both medium armor, so even if there was noise, it was not loud.

The two walked in the direction of the smoke for about twenty or thirty minutes, and then a village located on the edge of the forest appeared in their sight.

The column of smoke rising into the sky was rising from the village.

Lynn and Reso walked into the wheat field outside the village.

This village was supposed to be a peaceful place, but now, everything has been destroyed.

The bodies of the villagers were piled up in the open space outside the village.

The fire was burning and black smoke was billowing.

"It looks like the attacker has left."

"No, wait a minute."

Lin En held the rope and lay down in the wheat field, which was half a person's height.

Soon, a group of riders appeared on the road to the right of the village.

They wore leather armor and carried no banners, but the shields hung from their horses were embroidered with the banners of Kaedwen.

"Are those Kaedweni soldiers?"

Instead of relaxing, Lynn continued to hide in the wheat field.

Because of King Henselt of Kaedwen, Kaedwen from top to bottom has great hostility towards non-human races.

In the eyes of many people, demon hunters are also considered a non-human race.

Therefore, Lynn had no plans to show up.

If he and Letho went out, they might be mistaken by this group of Kaedwen soldiers as the culprits who killed these villagers.

By then, there will be no way to defend yourself.

It would be better to continue hiding in the wheat field and wait for this team of soldiers to check the situation and leave before coming out.

Lin En winked at Reso who was nearby.

Reso is much older than Lynn, and has encountered many setbacks and suffered many losses in society.

Lin En didn't need to say anything, Lei Suo already understood what Lin En meant.

In fact, he didn't want to deal with these soldiers.

Because these soldiers are used to oppressing civilians on a daily basis, this undesirable inertia often affects them.

This guy is really a very strange creature.

In theory, there is no distinction between high and low jobs, and no distinction between noble and humble labor.

But some people always can't help but feel a sense of superiority when they see those who do low-level jobs, as if in their dictionary, people at the bottom deserve to be bullied by them.

You say you have a high-paying job, a stable one, a good salary, and an easy life. Isn't that good enough? Do you really need to belittle people at the bottom of society by saying, "It's your fault for not studying hard, so you can only do menial jobs now" to gain satisfaction?

Lei Suo is not the White Wolf.

This is the wilderness, the perfect place to kill and dispose of bodies.

Although he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he could not guarantee that he would be able to control his hands once those soldiers bullied him.

Might as well continue hiding in the wheat field.

Lynn and Letho lay quietly in the wheat field, and the Kaedwen soldiers did not notice that there were two people in the wheat field.

Originally, both of them thought that these soldiers would leave soon.

But what happened next was more ugly than they had expected:

The soldiers dismounted at the village entrance, with one soldier watching over the horses while the others entered the village one by one.

Soon, cries and shouts were heard from the village.

Lin En and Reso looked at each other and saw the same expression on each other's faces.

But the two still did not act rashly.

Instead, he continued to lie in ambush and wait in the wheat field.

Until the soldiers entered the village and drove out a dozen villagers.

When Lin En saw the villagers' pointed ears, he instantly understood everything.

When they first arrived at the village, the bodies of the villagers had been burned to charcoal by the fire and nothing could be seen.

But when the soldiers drove the villagers out, they could see clearly that these villagers were all elves.

In other words, this village is actually an elven settlement within Kaedwen.

"It wasn't bandits who did this," Letho realized instantly. "It was these Kaedweni who attacked the village, killed the villagers, and then threw their bodies together and burned them."

"After they left, they probably thought there might be someone else hiding in the village, so they sent these people back to search."

Even though Letho had lived in the south for many years, he knew how miserable the non-human races were in Kaedwen.

But even if he had heard of it, Reso only thought that non-human races had to pay more taxes, were not allowed to engage in better occupations, and could only engage in lowly occupations, etc.

He could never have imagined that the Kaedweni would actually massacre the non-human races in their own country.

Doesn't the King of Kaedwen know that even if they are non-human races, they are still labor force, and as long as they are labor force, they are beneficial to the country?

Lin En guessed what the soldiers would do to the elven civilians next and made a throat-slitting gesture to Letho: "Let's go, Letho."

"You want to save them?" Lei Suo looked at Lin En in surprise.

"It would be fine if I didn't see it, but since I saw it and I have the ability to save them, I must save them. But first, we have to make sure they can't escape... Do you see those horses?" Lin En pointed with his chin at a lone soldier looking at horses at another place at the entrance of the village.

Lei Suo nodded silently.

"The enemy watching over those horses is in your care. If anyone tries to steal the horses and escape, you will be responsible for stopping them. The rest is up to me."

"it is good."

Reso did not dissuade him.

There were only a dozen soldiers, and he was enough to kill them all by himself, not to mention that he had helpers around him.

Experts who don't like witchers always like to slander them as emotionless monsters.

But in fact, the emotions of demon hunters are much richer than those of humans.

For example, witchers never kill pregnant women and children, but the Kaedweni will laugh and cut open the bellies of pregnant elven women.

It was just the cold and cruel reality that made the witcher hit a wall and feel disappointed again and again, and the witcher gradually learned the "reality".

But now that he had Lin's order, Reso was naturally happy to obey.

Lynn took out the advanced swallow and advanced Lafarde decoction and handed them to Reso.

Although with Lei Suo's strength and the alchemical bomb he configured for him, it is unlikely that he will be injured.

But it's always better to be safe, just in case.

Soon, the two separated.

Reso headed towards the soldier who was guarding his horse alone.

Lin En headed towards the village.

As the two men moved, the soldiers drove the villagers to the back of a house and shouted at them to line up.

Any villagers who were slow or uncooperative would be beaten by the soldiers immediately.

The soldiers, armed with spears and swords, surrounded the villagers in a semicircle.
