"What a mess! I am a Redanian. Do you know the laws of Redania better than me?" He shouted, "You are now on the land of Redania. I don't care where you nobles are from. When you come to Redania, you must abide by the laws here!"

Dangerous light flashed in House and Levin's eyes. They would never tolerate these soldiers speaking nonsense in front of the Earl. Lann hadn't given the order yet, but their hands were already on their weapons.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to resist?" The triangular-eyed captain's reaction was a little too intense, or he was too excited. He retreated while shouting, and at the same time commanded the soldiers around him to attack Lan together.

But the soldiers looked at Lane, seemingly hesitant because of the earl's identity that House mentioned at the beginning.

"What are you afraid of? He is the Count of Cintra, a small country that is about to perish. He is not even as good as the Baron of Redania!" The leading soldier shouted, "There are only four of them. What are you afraid of?"

"And look at his yellow eyes, that's him, he's the witcher!"

Hearing his shout, all the Redanian soldiers drew their weapons.

The captain and everyone on the deck didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the swords being drawn, they subconsciously screamed and left, clearing a space here.

The captain with triangular eyes seemed to be confident of victory and said proudly, "Don't be afraid, Lord Count from Cintra. But you'd better come with us to avoid getting hurt."

Lane smiled slightly and tilted his head to signal House.

A dull horn sounded suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. Forty fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the room and under the deck of the transport ship, filling the deck.

They marched in unison, with cold eyes and swords in hand, staring at the Redanian soldiers who were talking nonsense.

"I'm not afraid, but there are only eight of you. You should be afraid."

The leading soldier was stunned for a moment. He stiffly shifted his gaze back to Lann and swallowed. Before he could say anything, a hand glowing white came into his sight.

[Axis Seal].

"Are you real Redanian soldiers? You are looking for witchers, and why?"

The leading Redanian soldier suddenly looked confused, his eyes dull, and he muttered unconsciously, "We are Redanian soldiers. A warlock gave us some money to help capture a demon hunter on this ship."

Lan En sneered: "Is this the only number of people you have to deal with me? Is it enough?"

The soldier continued, "We only know it's a witcher."

Haha, it looks like they've been tricked. This group of soldiers were so confident that they could easily deal with the "demon hunter" alone, but they didn't expect that they were facing a demon hunter count who even came with his own army.

Moreover, Lann estimated that the person who asked them to take action did not know him well, and sent these soldiers here mostly for testing. They did not expect that Lann would have so many soldiers with him.

That basically ruled out several of the king's intelligence agencies. With their understanding of themselves, they would never do such a stupid thing. Since the Redanian soldier said he was a "warlock", Lann couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.

When the other Redanian soldiers saw Lann take action, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Especially when the leader explained in detail what he had done, they screamed in fear.

"Magic, it's magic, this witcher knows magic!"

Lann did not put too much magic power into the Axis Seal, so the triangular-eyed captain woke up after a few breaths. He was stunned for a long time before he realized what he had experienced.

We have always heard of warlocks and demon hunters, but before we actually face these extraordinary people, no one knows what methods they have. The leader of Redania is pale at this moment, and he feels that he has rolled on the edge of life and death.

Eight people facing forty fully armed men had no ability to resist. Lann didn't want to bleed carelessly, so he signaled the Cintra soldiers around him to go up and tie up these people.

"I don't want to kill Redanian soldiers on Redanian territory. It would be difficult to explain." Lann said lightly, "So you'd better not make any unnecessary resistance..."

But before Lann could finish his words, the transport ship seemed to have hit something and suddenly began to shake violently.

The Cintra cavalry, who were used to fighting on horseback, suddenly became unstable. Many carts and goods brought by merchants began to shake violently as the deck tilted, and one could even hear the sound of "splashes" falling into the water.

On the lower deck of the ship, the livestock area full of cattle, sheep, and pigs all started to make noisy noises, full of fear. But then an incredibly loud horse neigh sounded, and the livestock quieted down again.

"What happened? Did we hit a reef?" a passenger shouted in horror. The captain was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly pushed the helmsman away and took the helm himself, but then he found that things were not simple.

The ship did not deviate from its course. This was an old route that had been taken more than a dozen times. There was no way there could be any reefs.

While people were in chaos on the deck, the Redanian soldiers who had been sailing in the delta for many years performed much better than the Cintra people.

The leading Redanian soldier looked around with a sly look in his eyes, and suddenly saw Shani standing among the Cintra people.

She was the only female in the group, but the only civilian who was not wearing armor or weapons.

He made a few covert gestures to his men and waited quietly for the opportunity.

Suddenly, the captain took advantage of the Sintra soldier who was guarding him and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the other's face. Then he hit the Sintra soldier with great force in the direction of the tilt of the deck, and knocked him to the ground with his vision blocked, almost falling into the river.

He rushed towards Shani and shouted, "If the commander knew what we were doing, we would be hanged. If we take the hostage, we can live!"

All the Redanian soldiers stood up at the same moment, and the Cintra people were careless and were actually broken free by them. Fortunately, the swords had been confiscated long ago, otherwise there would be casualties.

Captain Redania rushed towards Shani with red eyes. The person in front of him was his last straw.

Xia Ni was so frightened that she fell to the ground, having already been shaken by the shaking of the boat.

But before she could scream, an arrow flew from nowhere and pierced the captain's waist. The archer might have aimed at the neck at first, but missed because of the shaking of the ship.

But it didn't matter. The team captain had already fallen to the ground wailing, and there was plenty of time for the archer to shoot the second and third arrows.

"Help!" The team leader fell to the ground wailing, looking at his companions with hopeful eyes, but he could only see seven neat backs.

All the Redanian soldiers chose to jump onto the deck, attempting to escape using their skilled swimming skills.

They are not like the squad leader who has some power and property. They are just soldiers. Now the country is in chaos. At worst, they can move to another place and start over. Why bother to survive surrounded by more than forty swords?

Xia Ni was lying on the ground, and before she could react, she was picked up by a strong hand. From the corner of her eye, she found that her face was pressed against a lion seal; when she looked up, she saw golden hair that was brighter than the sun.

"I said that the soldiers of Cintra will protect you. I never break my promise."

Behind her, Milva pouted and lowered the bowstring. She hadn't fought hard just to watch this scene.

The Redanian captain watched all this with resentful eyes, knowing that nothing could be done. He gritted his teeth and broke the arrow shaft stuck in his waist, and was about to swim away like those men who jumped into the river, but suddenly he heard a familiar scream.

"Ah! There is a monster in the water!" the sailors on the deck suddenly shouted.

Lan put Shani down, walked a few steps to the edge of the deck and looked down.

The originally green and turbid river water was now rolling with waves of blood. A Redanian soldier was struggling in the river, but was then dragged under the water by something unknown, leaving only a few stumps floating up. Another wave rolled in, and soon even the stumps were gone.

The Redanian soldiers were terrified. They tried to get back to the ship in a panic, grabbing ropes and anchors and trying to climb up, wailing and begging the people on the deck to lend them something to help them.

But the monster under the water seemed unsatisfied after eating one soldier, and its eyes were fixed on these noisy prey.

The surface of the river suddenly exploded, and in the flying water, a four-meter-long insect-like monster with bumps and rough skin appeared. It looked like a tree stump covered with algae, with ten claws and teeth like circular saws.

It stretched out two long, rough, green claws covered with spikes like the forelimbs of a mantis, grabbed a Redanian soldier who was climbing up, and dragged him into the water in the blink of an eye.

Everyone on the deck who saw all this screamed as if they were possessed. This was the monster that had hit the bottom of the ship like a reef before. They couldn't imagine that they were in the same waters with such a monster.

Only Shani seemed to have gained a sense of security from Lann. Not only was she not afraid, her eyes even lit up: "It's an arthropod! An insect, it looks like it might be an amphipod! Megagnathus!"

Lann said solemnly: "This is the dragonfly monster."

The Redanian captain, who was lying on the deck, looked pale. He quietly approached a Cintra soldier, then fell to the ground and tried to pretend to be a prisoner again, but was immediately hit hard in the face by a fist with iron gauntlets, and his nose, mouth, eyebrows and eyes were all bruised.
