The tall knight pinched Istredd's neck and gradually tightened his grip.
Not everyone has the opportunity to kill a royal family member.
Not to mention, after he returns, he will receive a great honor and a huge reward promised to him by King Lettenhove.
He will get a large piece of fertile land and a noble title Earl.
Although knights can barely be regarded as nobles, they are actually the lowest among the nobles.
Once you become Earl, you will no longer have to be called around by others, and you will become a high-ranking blue-blood noble.
Just when the tall knight was thinking about a bright future.
Bang!
The door behind the tall knight was knocked open.
Without thinking, the tall knight raised his giant sword with one hand and swung it back fiercely.
In his opinion.
If it were Istredd's subordinates, after seeing Istredd being carried in his hands, they would definitely be dazzled by the savior's eager thoughts and rush over directly.
Then the two-handed giant sword swung over will be able to hit the target exactly.
But Lynn didn't charge straight towards him, but used a forward roll to avoid the giant sword that was slashing at him.
On the contrary, it was the action of the tall knight swinging the giant sword that caused his door to open wide, revealing a flaw. After being approached by Lynn, he was unable to mount an effective defense.
Lynn drew his sword and stabbed it into the gap in the tibia on the knee of the tall knight's right leg.
Even if you are fully armored, there will always be gaps in places that require movement like this.
The tall knight was in pain, so he instinctively dropped the "burden" Istredd. His right leg couldn't support him just standing, so he used his left leg and pounced hard on Lynn.
In his opinion, it was impossible for Lynn to dodge at such a close distance. Once he was knocked down by him, he would definitely be able to counterattack.
However, what the tall knight did not expect was that Lynn was like a gust of wind, passing in front of him.
His hands waved in vain, unable to grasp anything, and only the solid ground greeted him.
The tall knight ignored the dizziness he felt after falling and tried to get up. As a result, as soon as his arm rested on the ground, he received a heavy kick on the side of his head.
The full-coverage helmet protected his head, but he was kicked over and flipped onto his back.
The next moment, a figure jumped on him, lifted off the armor on his helmet, and put his hand directly on his face.
Before he could struggle, he only heard a cold voice.
"Aard."
Bang!
Blood splashed everywhere like exploding watermelon juice. Lynn let go of his hand, only to see that the face of the tall knight was dented as if it had been hammered hard. It was obviously impossible to survive.
He used the sheets on the bed to wipe off the blood on his hands, and then looked at Istredd, who was holding his neck and breathing heavily.
"Sir Istredd, how are you?"
"I... I'm okay, it's okay. Thank you very much, Master Lynn."
Istredd can feel the scratches on his neck made by the tall knight using iron gloves.
But there's no time to worry about that now.
he said anxiously.
"Master Lynn, we have to leave as soon as possible."
In fact, Istredd maintained a high degree of vigilance along the way.
It wasn't until he set foot on Talgar's land that Istredd let down his guard.
Because Talgar has many branches of Thyssen family, it can also be regarded as the second hometown of Istredd.
He thought that he might be intercepted, but he didn't expect that it would happen within the territory of Principality of Talgar.
Istredd, who survived the disaster, had only one thought besides feeling lucky:
That is to return to Talgar City as soon as possible.
Only by returning there can he truly be sheltered and safe.
But Lynn grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into the room.
"We can't go out. They must be ambushing us outside. It's safest for us to stay in the hotel."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
Lynn made a few gestures, indicating Istredd to hide in a corner away from the window.
He himself walked lightly and walked to the wall close to the door.
I put a Quen Shield on myself, raised the Gwyhyr, and got ready for the attack.
Four or five killers gathered outside the door.
Their allies attracted Istredd's men to the first floor of the hotel.
Istredd didn't show up on the first floor, so he should still be on the second floor.
Before the attack was officially launched, their leader and deputy had already quietly reached the second floor.
But the strange thing is that there is no movement on the entire second floor.
They didn't know what happened, but what they knew was that the mission would be complete only if they brought Istredd's head back.
Therefore, these killers did not hesitate.
After looking at each other, they rushed in.
When the people at the front could clearly see Istredd huddled in the corner and the tall knight lying on the ground, his face beyond recognition, a cold light fell quickly.
fell on his face.
The sound of the sword cutting into flesh and bone was heard.
The killer didn't even have time to raise his weapon to block, before he was slashed in the face with the sword.
Then, he felt like he was kicked.
As his body fell backward, the gleaming sword also left his face.
It drew an arc in the air, changed from a vertical slash to a horizontal slash, and severely cut into the stomach of the killer who was following behind.
The extremely sharp Gwyhyr easily cut through the killer's leather armor.
Blood immediately flowed out happily.
The third killer raised his crossbow.
This is not the kind of military crossbow used by the regular army. It is smaller, and its power and range are relatively reduced.
But the advantage is that it is lightweight and easy to carry.
The experience of killing people made him understand that since the demon hunter had just turned his body and swung a sword, it was impossible for him to dodge the approaching crossbow arrows now.
It's impossible for anyone.
Not even a witcher.
The crossbow triggers.
The crossbow string buzzed.
The crossbow arrows flew.
But just before it was about to hit the demon hunter, a bright orange shield suddenly appeared and bounced away.
The crossbow arrow turned upward with a metallic wail, spiraled into the air, and finally hit the beam of the room.
Seeing this, the killer quickly threw his crossbow at Lynn as a hidden weapon.
Lynn didn't even hide.
The master-level Quen Shield is no longer broken glass at the first touch.
The hand crossbow thrown at it is not as threatening as the crossbow arrow, and it is even less likely to break Quen Shield's defense.
Without even blinking, he stabbed the bloody sword into the third killer's abdomen.
The last killer wielded his sword and attacked Lynn from above.
But he failed to hit the witcher.
While Lynn was dodging, he took advantage of the situation and pulled out Gwyhyr.
Then he drew out a sword.
The sword was so fast and accurate that the last killer couldn't even feel it.
When he tried to attack again, his legs no longer obeyed him.
It wasn't until the killer fell headlong onto the lifeless body of his companion that he realized that his legs had been chopped off by Lynn at some point.
He screamed and tried to stand up, but his legs, which were missing below the knee, refused to move.
Finally, among the scattered corpses, his head hung down, and his body was immersed in the red liquid that kept pouring out.
