The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Facing Dandelion's ridicule, Cassirer didn't say anything, but kept silent, after all, he was also one of the participants in that aggression.

Geralt felt that something was off topic, and immediately brought the topic back: "It seems that these surviving Chifeng mercenaries should have been hired by Count Britta, and they should go to the families of the two survivors soon. The location, we have to go there immediately, otherwise the two survivors will be in danger if they join in." He said, "Regil, Dandelion, Angulane, you stay here, and the others join me Let's go." Then, he turned his head to look at Leo and Sylvia, and asked, "You two, you..."

"Let's go together too! Since we have already accepted this task, we must complete it." Sylvia immediately responded.

Leo also nodded slightly.

So, after Geralt obtained the residences of the two survivors from Angulan, the five of them rode their respective horses and rushed there.

One of the two survivors lived not too far from the manor, and it took less than five minutes to ride a horse. Wooden stakes enclose a small yard for poultry.

However, the wooden house is now empty, and the people who used to live here have all moved out. Judging from the traces in the house, they left in a hurry. They did not take many clothes and household items, and judging from the dust, they should have left. It's been several days.

"Someone has been here before." Geralt, who entered the room to check the situation, came out and said with a serious expression: "Several people searched not long ago, and the dust on the ground left footprints."

Leo frowned and said, "Go, go to the next place, maybe you can meet those people."

When Geralt heard this, he immediately jumped on his horse, and the group rushed towards the residence of the next survivor.

The speed of the group was very fast, and they even took a shortcut in order to arrive as soon as possible.

However, Leo and Sylvia's horses were really not very good, so they fell behind a lot, and soon fell behind, and could only follow the traces left by Geralt.

When the two were about to arrive at the residence, they heard the sound of fighting in front of them. At this moment, Leo's mental network extended in that direction, and he understood the situation instantly.

I saw that Geralt and the others were trapped in a small wooden house. Geralt and Cassirer were guarding the door, and Milva was guarding the window with a bow and arrow. In addition to the three of Geralt, there was a couple and their four children, who were hiding in a corner of the room in fear, not daring to speak.

Outside, more than 20 soldiers wearing the costumes of the Chifeng Mercenary Regiment blocked the door of the house, and several of them were in full armor, comparable to orthodox knights.

It's just that, facing Geralt and Cassirer who are blocking the door and cooperating with each other, the twenty or so people can't take advantage of it at all, and they won't be able to rush into the house for a while, but the arrows that Milva shoots from time to time can hit the rear. Some unarmored mercenaries did the damage, for which they seemed to be trying to force the occupants out of the house with fire, and several had already lit torches and threw them at the thatch of the wooden roof, setting the roof on fire.

If this situation continues, it will definitely be detrimental to Geralt and the others. Sooner or later, they will be forced out by the flames and besieged by the Chifeng mercenary group. But those people they protect will definitely fall into the hands of the Chifeng Mercenary Group.

After discovering this situation, Leo directly pulled out the two abyssal great swords, and Sylvia, who followed closely beside him, didn't need to say anything, she also took out the dragon hunting gun and combined them together .

Soon the two rushed to the edge of the battlefield. The Chifeng mercenary group was not as careless as those bandit groups. In order to guard against sneak attacks, they arranged a few people to guard behind, so they found out immediately Leo and Sylvia were caught, and they shouted to their companions.

"Knight of Light, it's Knight of Light!" Several shouts reached the ears of other people in an instant, and both the attacking hut and the guarding hut froze for a moment.

Obviously, Sylvia's eye-catching degree is far from what Leo can match. Even if Leo's position is in front of Sylvia, her eye-catching armor can still catch everyone's attention instantly.

What's more, Sylvia's reputation in the recent period is all based on real achievements. More than 30 bandits died in her hands, and there are also quite a few monsters cleaned up by her.

The Chifeng mercenary regiment knew the prestige of the Knights of Light when they were among the common people. At the moment of defense, in order to prevent Sylvia from thinking that they were bandits, they immediately shouted: "We are not bandits, we are hired by Earl Britta. ..."

Although the few mercenaries blocking the road shouted in time, no one would listen to them. Leo rushed over and waved the abyss sword in his hand. Before those people could react, they were chopped into pieces. two paragraphs.

Then Leo rushed towards the place where the most people gathered in the team, and Sylvia rushed towards the few armored mercenaries separately.

Because it was daytime, and the overall quality of these mercenaries was much higher than that of the bandits. Although their companions died tragically, those mercenaries still had the courage to resist. The horse under him stabbed in the past, and their experience told them that after a knight wearing this kind of full body armor was dismounted, it was much easier to deal with.

It's a pity that what they met was Leo. When he saw these mercenaries attacking the target on the horse, Leo directly pulled the horse, then turned over and got off the horse, and rushed them down before the mercenaries could react. In the middle, the two abyss swords in his hands swung quickly, and the sharp blades easily split the bodies of these people, just like farmers harvesting wheat straw.

After a round of beheading, there was no one alive around Leo, and on the other side, Sylvia also ended the battle. The armor of those mercenaries could not resist the sharpness of the dragon hunting gun at all, and they were directly attacked by Xi Sylvia's quick thrusts were honeycombed.

Geralt, Cassirer, and Milva were all stunned by what they saw before them. They never expected that the mercenaries who had trapped them from just now would kill them all with just a few blows. up.

Although some mercenaries can be killed with Geralt's witcher seal and sword skills, it may be difficult to solve it easily like Leo and Sylvia, which made him re-examine Leo. Ou and Sylvia's strength, especially Leo's strength.

Cassirer and Milva were also surprised by Sylvia's fighting power, but they quickly returned to normal. After all, Sylvia often took them to practice spear skills these two days, and they could feel Sylvia's strength. Via's strength, not to mention Sylvia's actual record.

But Leo was different. It was the first time for them to see Leo doing it. In their impression, Leo was more like a scholar, and a genius scholar who could easily learn new knowledge. When he was free, I will also stay in the room and write.

But after seeing what happened to Leo, the word "violence" came to everyone's minds. They felt that Leo, who was covered by the dark armor, had turned into a demon, and his whole body was full of violence. Unless it was someone as determined as Geralt, he would not have dared to look up at him for a long time.

"Why did you conflict with these mercenaries?" Leo put the two abyss swords back into their scabbards, and then asked Geralt.

Hearing Leo's question, Geralt pulled his attention back from the tragic situation of those people who were killed by Leo. After a moment of stunned, he immediately replied: "When we came, they were about to kill I stopped this family, and then these mercenaries blocked the door."

Although Geralt said it very simply, the process should be very dangerous, because Leo saw some new scratches from the leather armor on Cassirer and Milwa.

"Is he a survivor?" Sylvia looked at the family of six nervously huddled together and asked.

"He is the survivor." Geralt pointed to the head of the family.

Sylvia walked into the house, looked at the head of the family and asked, "Since you already knew that Count Britta was responsible for the disappearance, and you survived, why didn't you escape like the other survivor. "

Perhaps due to the influence of the reputation of the Knight of Light that had already spread, the family that was still in fear gradually regained their composure. The survivor stood up and said with a wry smile: "Returning to my lord, our family has no money. If we leave here, we can only It will be even worse, so you might as well stay and try your luck."

"What should we do now?" Sylvia turned to Geralt and asked.

Geralt thought for a while, then looked at the family of six who looked terrified, sighed softly, and said, "Take them to the manor first! We can wait until the manor to think about other things, this is not a suitable place A place to discuss things."

Hearing Geralt's proposal, no one objected, and the family would not object, because they could see that Geralt and the others had no ill intentions towards them, and they were the only ones they could rely on to escape their bad luck.

So when Geralt asked them to pack, they quickly packed some luggage without any hesitation.

"I think you should replace the two horses, which may be more beneficial to you." Outside the house, Cassirer suggested to Leo and Sylvia.

Leo and Sylvia nodded, and then looked around the house, only to see that the horses of the Chifeng mercenary group were still running away. After picking out a good batch of war horses, Leo quickly searched the corpses on the ground and took away all the money in their pockets.

"Now I think you are really more suitable to be a witcher." After Geralt led the family out of the smoking house, he happened to see Leo picking up a money bag from the corpse of a mercenary. Before standing up, he said jokingly.

"They don't need these things anymore, so don't waste them." Leo responded calmly, and then threw the money bag in his hand to Sylvia.

After cleaning the battlefield, Leo and Geralt threw the corpse carrier into the burning house, lest these corpses become food for monsters, or become monsters.

Because the people were settled by Leo and Sylvia, the belongings and horses on these people belonged to Leo and the two of them. Although these mercenaries were people who made money and spent it all, they had very little cash on them. They can only maintain their expenses for two or three days. These people also left behind eleven war horses and a few pairs of armor. The value is not very low. After buying them, they will definitely be able to find a good house for the two of them in Bauclair. , Lived peacefully for several months.

"If we do this a few more times, maybe we can live a luxurious aristocratic life." Leo tied up all the horses with a rope, and while leading them on the horse, he rarely joked.

"Impossible!" Geralt replied very seriously: "There are not many mercenary groups of more than a dozen people like this in Toussaint, and they are as good as bandit groups, and they don't What kind of money is there, the real rich are those wandering knights."

"Wandering Knights?" Leo muttered thoughtfully.

Seeing Leo's expression, Geralt couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You really set your mind on those wandering knights, right? This is not a good idea, let alone Tell me whether the two of you can deal with the large number of wandering knights. And even if you can deal with them, Toussaint officials will not allow them. These wandering knights are the foundation of Toussaint's security and stability. Without them , Toussaint may be in a mess."

Leo smiled and comforted Geralt, and said, "Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it, I don't really intend to do it."

The group quickly returned to the manor, and the three people waiting in the manor, did not expect that there were only five people when they went, but when they came back, they doubled, and they brought back so many horses, which made them very curious What the hell happened.

When everyone just entered the manor, Angulane couldn't help being curious, and asked Milva what happened, but Milva didn't know what happened, so he explained the incident in detail, and Angulane was dumbfounded. , looking at Leo's eyes with a little more awe, after all, anyone would be afraid of someone who can split a group of people into two at will.

After placing the family of six in a room in the manor, everyone gathered together to discuss what to do.

First of all, of course, it is necessary to change the place. After all, no matter how empty this manor is, it still belongs to the Earl of Britta’s property. They are just using the task as an excuse to live now. Now that they know that the target of their mission is the Earl of Britta, then live again. It doesn't fit here.

Of course, this was also to allow Earl Britta to use the power of Toussaint officials to deal with them under the pretext that they entered his manor without authorization and were intruders.
