Lynn took out a few bottles of high-grade magic potion and divided them with Letho.
After taking it, the two of them walked towards the direction where the smoke pillar ignited.
Due to mutations and training, a witcher can actually make his footsteps sound as silent as a cat if he wishes.
As for the slight sound the armor makes with movement, there is nothing that can be done about it.
You can't help but wear armor, right?
Fortunately, the grandmaster-level School of the Wolf armor worn by Lynn and the grandmaster-level School of the Viper armor worn by Letho are both medium armor, so even if there is noise, it is not loud.
The two of them walked in the direction of the smoke pillar for about twenty or thirty minutes. In their field of vision, a village located on the edge of the forest appeared.
The plume of smoke rising into the sky was rising from the village.
Lynn and Letho walked into the wheat fields outside the village.
This village was supposed to be a peaceful place, but now, everything has been destroyed.
The corpses of the villagers were piled in the open space outside the village.
The fire was burning and black smoke was billowing.
"It appears the attackers have left."
"No, wait a minute."
Lynn pressed Letho and lay down in the wheat field half as tall as a man.
Not long after, a group of riders appeared on the road to the right of the village.
They wore leather armor and did not carry a flag, but the shields hung on their horses were embroidered with the flag of Kaedwen.
"That's Kaedwen's soldier?"
Lynn Instead of relaxing, he continued to hide in the wheat field.
Because of Kaedwen's king Henselt, Kaedwen has great malice towards the inhuman race from top to bottom.
In the eyes of many people, demon hunters are considered an inhuman race.
Therefore, Lynn has 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 nothing left to argue.
It would be better to continue hiding in the wheat field and wait for the soldiers to check the situation and leave before coming out.
Lynn winked at Letho who was very close at hand.
Letho is much older than Lynn. He has encountered many obstacles in society and suffered more losses.
Lynn didn't need to speak, Letho already understood what Lynn meant.
In fact, he didn't want to deal with these soldiers.
Because these soldiers are used to bullying civilians, this terrible inertia often affects them.
This person is really a strange creature.
It stands to reason that there is no distinction between high and low work, and no distinction between high and low labor.
But when some people see those working at the bottom, they will always feel a sense of superiority involuntarily, as if in their dictionary, the people at the bottom deserve to be bullied by them.
You say you have a high-paying job. Your job is stable, well-paid, and easy. Isn't that already good? Do you need to belittle the people at the bottom in front of them, saying, "Who told you that you didn't study hard in the first place, so now you can only do menial jobs?" to gain satisfaction?
Letho is not White Wolf.
This is also the best place in the wilderness to kill people and dump their bodies.
Although he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, once those soldiers oppressed him, he could not guarantee that he would be able to control his own hands.
Might as well continue hiding in the wheat field.
Lynn and Letho lay quietly in the wheat field. The soldiers of Kaedwen 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 beyond their expectations:
The soldiers dismounted at the entrance of the village.
One soldier watched the horses while the others entered the village separately.
Not long after, cries and curses began to sound from the village.
Lynn and Letho looked at each other and saw the same expression as their own on each other's faces.
But the two still did not act rashly.
Instead, he continued to lie in wait in the wheat field.
Until the soldiers who entered the village drove a dozen villagers out.
When he saw the pointed ears of those villagers, Lynn understood everything instantly.
When they first arrived in this village, the corpses of the villagers had been burned to a crisp by the fire, and nothing could be seen.
But when the soldiers drove the villagers out, it became clear that these villagers were all elves.
In other words, this village is actually an elf settlement within the territory of Kaedwen.
"It was not done by bandits at all," Letho also understood instantly, "It was these Kaedwen people 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 hiding in the village, so they sent these people back to search."
Even though Letho has lived in the south all year round, he still knows how miserable the non-human race has been in the territory of Kaedwen.
But even if he had heard about it, Letho only thought that non-human races had to pay more taxes and were not allowed to engage in better occupations, but could only engage in lowly occupations, etc.
He never imagined that the Kaedwen people would actually massacre the inhuman races in their own country.
Doesn't the king of Kaedwen know that even if it is a non-human race, it is still labor force, and as long as it is labor force, it is beneficial to the country?
Lynn, who guessed what the soldiers would do to the elven civilians next, made a throat-cutting gesture to Letho: "Let's go, Letho."
"You want to save them?" Letho looked at Lynn in surprise.
"It's okay if I didn't see it, but since I saw it and I have the ability to save it, I will naturally save it. But first, we have to make sure they can't escape... Have you seen those horses?" Lynn pointed with his chin at the lone soldier looking at the horses at another place at the entrance of the village.
Letho nodded silently.
"I leave the enemy who is watching those horses to you. If anyone tries to escape by snatching the horses, you are responsible for stopping them. Leave the rest to me."
"Okay."
Letho did not dissuade.
There were only a dozen soldiers, and he could kill them all by himself, not to mention there were many helpers around him.
Experts who don't like witchers always like to slander witchers as monsters without emotions.
But in fact, demon hunters have much richer emotions than humans.
For example, demon hunters never kill pregnant women and children, but Kaedwen people will open up the bellies of pregnant elves with laughter.
It's just that the cold and cruel reality makes the demon hunter hit the wall again and again, and the demon hunter slowly learns "reality".
But now that there is an order from Lynn, Letho is naturally happy to obey it.
Lynn took out Superior Swallow, and Superior Raffard's Decoction, and handed them to Letho.
Although with Letho's strength and the alchemy bomb I configured for him, it is unlikely that he will be injured.
But just in case, there is always a safe place to go.
Immediately, the two separated.
Letho headed towards the soldier guarding the horse alone.
Lynn is heading towards the village.
While the two were acting, the soldiers drove the villagers to the back of a house and shouted at them to line up in a row.
Any villager who moved slowly or was uncooperative would be immediately beaten by the soldiers.
Soldiers armed with spears and swords surrounded the villagers in a semicircle.
