Because when the witcher was moving, there was almost no sound of footsteps.
Therefore, even if the attackers arranged many sentries, as long as Lynn and Geralt did not actively approach the area illuminated by torches, it would be difficult for those sentries to detect them.
After getting close enough, Lynn began to observe the attacker's camp.
The whole camp is not big.
Some fences and horses were assembled with wood around as a simple fortification.
Dozens of tents were erected in the center of the camp.
It was obvious that the people who led these attackers were very cautious.
Not only were sentries arranged outside the forest, but even near the fence, Lynn saw several patrols walking around with torches.
In addition, there were several bonfires set up in the camp, and twenty or thirty armed men in different styles of clothing were gathering around the bonfires to bake something to eat.
After observing for a while, Lynn already had some thoughts in mind.
He gently patted Geralt on the shoulder and mouthed to Geralt.
"Geralt, you can go, let's go back, I have thought of a plan."
At this time, we were in the largest tent in the forest camp.
Jad Kaladin sat alone on a crate that served as a stool.
The deserted atmosphere in the tent was in sharp contrast to the excitement around the campfire outside.
But Jad doesn't seem to feel deserted and lonely.
He just drank the broth in his hands while minding his own business.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
Because he saw a pair of cat eyes reflected in the broth that was as thin as water.
The wooden bowl fell to the ground and the soup spilled all over the floor.
A mercenary outside the tent heard the noise inside and hurriedly walked in.
"Boss?" He couldn't help but be startled when he saw the scene in the tent.
"I'm fine." Jad waved his hand and stopped the mercenaries from cleaning up, "Have the people we sent to contact King Lettenhove's men come back?"
"Not yet."
"Okay, I understand, you can go out."
When the mercenaries left, Jad picked up the wooden bowl and put it aside.
Memories from the past can't help but come to mind:
He is an orphan.
Like thousands of orphans who have lost their parents due to wars, natural disasters and other reasons.
Jad can no longer remember the memories before becoming a witcher's apprentice.
He only remembered the nightmare training and the instructor's strict and even abusive requirements.
Day after day of sword and physical training tortured Jad almost to the point of going crazy.
And the mentor's unstable, radical, and violent character made Jad feel as if he was in hell all the time.
Later, Jad finally passed, and School of the Cat Trial of the Grasses had a survival rate of only three-tenths.
But I don't know if it's because of Trial of the Grasses or if it's just nature.
Jad, who became an official demon hunter, found that he had become as aggressive, cruel, impulsive and capricious as his mentor.
So.
He killed his mentor.
During a demon hunting mission, he could have saved him.
But Jad watched helplessly as his mentor was torn apart like a rag doll by monsters.
But at this moment, something incredible happened.
My hands were stained with my mentor's blood, as if turning on a strange switch Jad.
It made him calm down instead.
Jad wonders if he is the only normal person in School of the Cat.
The physical mutation caused by Trial of the Grasses, which almost killed him, made him feel that he was in very good condition.
Paranoia and extreme impulse... these characteristics of School of the Cat seemed to disappear with the death of his mentor.
His mind was also clearer than ever before.
So, Jad set a goal for himself.
He doesn't want to spend his life being discriminated against and looked down upon by others.
Risking your life just for that little gold coin, sometimes you don't even get that little melon or two dates, and the only response is a pitchfork...
My whole body stinks, let alone the girls, I even despise myself...
He doesn't want to live in confusion all his life, he wants to live a decent life...
So, Jad had a plan!
A big plan!
He first recruited a group of ruthless people and formed his own gang.
This step is not difficult.
In this damn era, many people are willing to sell their labor in order to make a living.
And if you can still make money while having enough to eat, then it's not impossible to sell your conscience too.
If you have a gang, you have to work.
Jad positions his team as mercenaries. After all, although this profession is dangerous, the money can be made quickly.
He and his accomplices are willing to do anything as long as they are willing to pay.
Relying on the witcher's mutated physical fitness that is stronger than that of ordinary people, and School of the Cat's outstanding swordsmanship, Jad has almost never encountered an enemy that he cannot deal with.
Soon, they made a name for themselves in the mercenary industry.
Once you become famous, more jobs will naturally come to your doorstep.
What surprised Jad was that he found that he actually had some business acumen.
He did not spend all the money he earned on women and wine like his men did.
Instead, it is used for illegal business.
Human trafficking, smuggling anesthetic powder, running a women's hospital... He doesn't care whether the money is dirty or not, and he doesn't care whether it is harmful to nature or not. As long as he can get money, he will do it.
This allowed him to quickly accumulate a lot of wealth.
This really makes Jad excited.
When he saves enough money, he won't have to live this kind of life of licking blood for the rest of his life.
This also means that he is one step closer to the decent life he wants.
This big deal was originally supposed to be the last vote in the plan set by Jad.
Once this job is done, he can concentrate on his more profitable illegal business.
What Jad didn't expect was...
The attack launched by his men and the soldiers sent by King Lettenhove ended in failure.
Therefore, when Jad returned to this temporary camp with the remaining accomplices...
He sent someone to bring a message to King Lettenhove's men:
--The enemy is much stronger than promised before. I will not do this mission unless I pay more.
Perhaps due to the mutation of the demon hunter, Jad is not afraid of kings and nobles like most people in this world.
In his eyes, kings and nobles are not superior because of their ability, but they just happen to be born into royal and noble families.
He is not afraid that the temporary price increase will make King Lettenhove dissatisfied.
Even if you don't ask for a price increase, it's useless if you do the job beautifully.
Because I am nothing in the eyes of the other party.
These upper-class people have been lacking everything since they were born, so how can they look down on the lower-class people who need to work to fill their stomachs?
Just then.
A biting cold wind blew into the tent.
Shouts and curses came and went.
Jad was startled at first, then grabbed the steel sword and rushed out of the tent.
I saw that the entire camp was in chaos at this time.
