Grey Rock Mountain, outside the mine.
The cold wind howled, mixed with fine shards of ice.
Raven stood on the rock wall, staring at the open space below with his scarlet eyes, making random screams from his mouth.
Five strong men were restrained with hemp ropes and had many bruises on their bodies.
Beside them was the Upper March metal armor that had been removed.
The five people were Zachary, who stayed outside to respond, and Nigel, who escaped from the mine with a narrow escape.
"Cole! You fat pig, how dare you betray Kaedwen!"
Zachary's eyes were spitting fire, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he still spat fiercely towards Cole's position.
Cole took a few steps back to avoid the spittle.
His original simple attire was changed into a green brocade suit, with a cotton hat on his head, and he looked at Zachary with a playful expression.
"Oh my, what a poor guy. Where do you start talking about betrayal?"
"Zachary Knight, don't think of yourself as so noble."
Cole raised his hand and said, "Move all these armors into the car and erase these coats of arms. They will be worth a lot of money."
Behind him, there are three caravans.
More than two dozen bandits with ferocious faces, armed with steel knives and light crossbows, were busy loading boxes of goods into the car.
The cold wind blew through the oilcloth, revealing a slight metallic luster.
It is raw ore that has not been polished, as well as agate gemstones.
"You!" Zachary Knight was filled with anger, "Aren't you afraid of suffering the Marquis' revenge?"
Cole walked to the fire, rubbed his hands, and motioned to the kidnapper standing next to him.
The adult stepped forward quickly and punched Zachary Knight in the abdomen.
"Woo----"
Zachary Knight retched and was speechless.
Cole's tone was full of mockery.
"As I said before, I have never been Kaedwen's person. Where did the betrayal come from?"
"I am loyal to Hengfors League, did you know that?"
"I have been dormant in this remote ghost place for five years, just to squeeze out the last drop of oil and water from this mine."
Having said this, Cole looked at the mine behind him, his eyes full of greed.
"It's a pity. From my perspective, only one-third of the mine has been mined."
"These damn despicable miners, a bunch of underfed maggots, can't bear to work fifteen hours a day and want to rebel against me under the leadership of Piers."
"Hmph! Are a bunch of idiots worthy of negotiating terms with me?"
"Just a few barrels of black powder are enough to blow them all to death deep in this mine."
Cole spread out his hands with a proud face, "The blood of the dead attracted Ghoul. The plague is above, so this is better. It helped me hide the truth."
"I just didn't expect that stupid Luitpold Upper March actually sent the commander of his security department over."
"Hahaha!"
"Kill this man, how much reward will Hengfors League give me?"
"I'm older, and with this batch of ores and my previous savings, I can buy a manor and live out the rest of my life."
Speaking of this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
"It's just a pity that my nephew, Ralph, was killed by a mutant Monstrum."
"What a damn guy!"
He clenched his fists.
"Boom!"
An extremely dull loud noise came from the mine, and the ground was shaking violently.
Cole's eyes narrowed into slits, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Did you hear this? What time is this noise? That damn Monstrum was definitely blown to death under the mine!"
He pretended to sigh, "It's that beauty named Elena. If Hengfors can be transported back alive, those perverted nobles Earl will definitely spend a lot of gold coins for her."
"Now, I'm afraid it will just become an underground barbecue."
"Hahaha."
The horse bandits beside him let out a burst of obscene laughter.
"Cole! You bastard will die badly!"
Zachary Knight's face was vicious, blood was stained between his teeth, and he roared in a low voice.
Cole plucked his ears impatiently and looked towards the snow not far away.
There is a woman in gray clothes there.
The woman was in ragged clothes, her hair was disheveled, and her exposed skin was purple from the cold.
It's Mana.
"Pull this bitch over here!" Cole whispered.
A kidnapper grabbed her hair and violently dragged her in front of Cole.
Cole pulled Mana's jaw hard with his palm, "You crazy bitch, if it weren't for you, my nephew wouldn't have died."
"And that damn man of yours, it was because of him that I had to leave here early.
"Since you miss your man so much, go and stay with him today."
Cole let go of his hand, his eyes were cold, and he called to the horse bandits in front of him.
"Go and hang all five of them at the entrance of the mine. And this woman, do whatever you want."
"Yes, boss!" A lustful smile appeared on the horse bandit's face, and he rubbed his hands and couldn't wait any longer.
There is nothing more enjoyable than having fun. He pulled Mana's hair and prepared to walk to the back of the carriage.
Cole looked at the mine. I don't know why, but I always felt panicked in my heart.
"By the way," Cole continued, "Find two people to move some explosives and blow up this mine for me."
"Yes."
Zachary Knight and the others heard this and had a look of despair in their eyes.
It's better to blow up the hole as soon as possible.
Before the remaining smoke dissipated, a cold light suddenly emerged from it.
It was accurately shot at the head of the kidnapper who was dragging Mana. The dagger penetrated and the warm blood mixed with turbid substances was sprinkled on the snow.
"Bang!"
The horse bandit's body suddenly fell to the ground.
This scene immediately shocked everyone present.
"What's going on?!"
"Da----da----"
The sound of leather boots echoed in the mine.
A tall figure tore open the curtain of smoke and dust.
The black-haired demon hunter, covered in blood and ashes, slowly entered everyone's sight.
He raised his head, and the cat eyes expanded slightly the moment they came into contact with the skylight.
Dark veins appeared on his pale face, like a devil crawling out of hell, which was frightening.
"No, how is this possible?"
Cole was so frightened that he took two steps back, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"There are hundreds of monsters and gunpowder down there, how can you still be alive? You Monstrum!"
Arwen looks around, the cat's eyes are silent.
Suddenly, the woman named Mana rushed toward him crazily and knelt in front of him.
She stretched out her hands tremblingly and touched the silver brand on Arwen's waist.
Her lifeless eyes regained some vitality, and she kept murmuring.
"Piers----Piers----monster----monster----you are all monsters!"
At the end of the sentence, she roared heartbreakingly.
Arwen untied the tag from his waist, walked forward, and gently patted Mana's shoulder with his left hand.
The right hand reaches over the shoulder and holds the hilt of the sword.
The special lock breaks open.
The heavy giant sword lay across his side.
The witcher's voice was deep.
"I accepted this demon hunting commission."
