"What's wrong?"
"I heard this story yesterday. Did the man end up becoming a dentist?"
"Ah? Has this embarrassing story about us Meteng Island spread to the Panda Continent and everyone knows about it?" Leidi looked a little embarrassed.
"Not really. Only a few people know about it, and they are people who have been to your place by chance."
"Ah, that's good. I'm just afraid that this incident will affect the reputation of us Meteng Island swordsmen. It will be difficult for other swordsmen who come to the Panda Continent to make a living in the future to find an employer."
"By the way, Leidi, why don't you ride a horse?
"You see, except for the infantry, everyone around us is basically riding a horse."
"There are only some ponies for farming in our hometown, so..." Leidi smiled sheepishly again, "Although I can ride a horse, I am used to walking, and I have not bought a mount."
"Then can you keep up?"
"Dick, don't underestimate me, those infantry can keep up with the team, not to mention I was the captain of Mettenheim Forlorn Hope.
"Although I can't run as fast as a horse in a short period of time, even though I'm wearing more than 40 kilograms of armor, I can still run for half an hour."
Hearing this, Dick once again marveled at the strength of Leidi.
"What is the length of Death Squad?"
"I think he is your knight captain here. He is responsible for commanding and defending against the enemy."
"That's it..."
During the conversation, everyone had crossed a plain.
Dick Looking forward, we can already see the undulating mountains.
Leidi sighed, "These trees are so green! All the trees in our place are red, and the land is red, not like it is black here."
"By the way, you see, there is not even a bit of snow in the woods in the mountains, which is completely different from the ice and snow below us."
"Actually, I'm quite surprised," Dick replied, "I feel a little warm now. I'm afraid there's no active volcano under the mountains, which makes it as warm as spring. This is a good place."
"Yes! Panda Continent is full of treasures. No wonder Snake Cult always misses this place and wants to move their church here. Fortunately, Emperor Marius of the Bacchus Empire has guarded their army outside the mainland."
"The whole army stops advancing now!" Brownie, who was on the horse in front, shouted.
The surrounding soldiers quickly stopped, and the 10 fully armored mercenaries also stopped immediately. However, the other mercenaries wearing various leather armors made a fuss for a while before slowly stabilizing their formation.
There is a river ahead, and Dick can clearly hear the gurgling sound of the water.
There is a wooden bridge about 3 meters wide across the river leading to the other side.
The scenery and weather on both sides of the bridge were completely different. One side was still covered in ice and snow, while the other side was as warm as spring.
This river is not too wide, only about ten meters, but from here, the vertical distance between the river and the single-plank bridge is fully twenty meters.
Dick Looking at the wooden bridge, I always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Just when I was about to think about it, Brownie spoke again:
"This bridge is too narrow. All dismount and leave the horses here. I will send people to guard them, and then you will move forward in batches. Now the demon hunters and mercenaries go to the front to explore the road."
Dick naturally won't refuse, that's what they get paid for.
After tying up the horses, Dick, Geralt, Little Yennefer and Leidi walked at the front, followed by the chaotic group of miscellaneous mercenaries.
Some of the mercenaries were tired from not riding horses and were tapping their legs and complaining.
One of the mercenaries also whistled at Little Yennefer, who rolled his eyes at him, causing the group of miscellaneous mercenaries to burst into laughter.
Geralt looked colder, but made no unnecessary movements.
Behind them were the 10 mercenaries in full armor, who walked neatly and step by step towards the wooden bridge without saying a word.
After walking halfway through the wooden bridge, Dick felt a little relieved when he saw that there was not much distance to the other side.
Looking back, I saw that Brownie was still surrounded by the infantry and cavalry and had not yet stepped onto the bridge.
Dick was surprised and stopped.
Because Dick were at the front and the mercenary path behind was blocked, someone immediately muttered, "Demon hunter, what are you doing?"
Dick did not answer, but pointed at Brownie and shouted, "Why don't you come over?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Dick saw the ten fully armored mercenaries touching the long swords at their waists.
The leader of the mercenary captain looked at Dick. Although Dick could not see his eyes clearly due to the barrier of the mask's grille, he was sure that the other party was staring at him.
At the same time, the squeaking sound of some kind of animal came from below the wooden bridge, and the sound was extremely harsh.
Dick immediately looked down and saw five or six red figures of different sizes, flying out from the dense jungle on both sides of the river below, flapping their wings and flying towards the bridge.
The dragon's head has several horns stretching back along the back of its neck.
Looking at its image, it looks like a shrunken legendary dragon.
Dick stared:
Wyvern, how come there is Wyvern here?
And looking at the situation, this Wyvern is obviously well prepared.
But obviously, Wyvern's IQ is not high, right?
Only then did he suddenly realize:
I felt something was wrong before I got on the bridge because it was very quiet around the river. Apart from the sound of water flowing, there was no sound of any animals.
He must have been scared away by Wyvern who had already ambushed him.
If he hadn't been interrupted by Brownie, he would have definitely figured out the key, because he had experienced this kind of thing before when Odinburg was ambushed by Broom Witch.
Dick drew out the silver sword from behind, and Geralt on the side did the same, and protected Little Yennefer behind him;
At the same time, Leidi also grasped the hilt of the giant sword with both hands, also protecting Little Yennefer.
However, some miscellaneous mercenaries had not yet reacted. When they saw these Wyvern soaring into the sky, they suddenly shouted, "Why are there so many giant dragons here?"
Dick didn't care about the noise of these mercenaries. He secretly formed a seal with his right hand and waited for Wyvern to rush towards him, then hit Signs with one blow.
But the Wyvern in front of him did not attack the people on the bridge, but quickly flapped his wings and flew towards the center of the wooden bridge.
Dick frowned, observing Wyvern's flight trajectory, and then noticed that there was an obvious cut mark on a beam under the center of the wooden bridge:
Do they want it?
he shouted:
"Shoot those Wyverns, they want to destroy the bridge."
After that, he drew out the short crossbow, took a deep breath, loaded it, raised it, and took aim.
Everything in front of me seemed to slow down.
When he was about to fire the two crossbows, he found that a crossbow bolt slightly longer than the one he was using had passed by, and the target was also Wyvern in front of him.
When I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Geralt had already put away the crossbow.
Dick still did not hesitate and fired two crossbows.
Geralt's crossbow bolt first hit the neck of a smaller Wyvern. Although it penetrated, it only scraped off a piece of flesh and blood. The Wyvern was not dead yet, but was just shaking and flapping its wings randomly in the air.
Within one second, Dick's two arrows shot into one of its eyeballs almost in no particular order.
This Wyvern wailed and hissed, fell from the air and fell into the river.
