Chapter 17: Prisoners



Judd was truly experienced. When he dodged sideways, he anticipated that there would be a subsequent pursuit. While dodging, he cast another Alder Seal behind himself, deflecting the two oncoming arrows.

He also succeeded in moving a certain distance with the help of the reaction force.

At this time, he had already thought about retreating. He was originally provoked by this kid using the method of burning crystals, and now he saw that it was a trap. Now that the enemy troops had turned back, he had no chance of fighting the army head-on.

Judd looked around, only to find that a sack-like encirclement had slowly surrounded him in the center, with dozens of bows and arrows pointing at him, leaving him with almost no possibility of breaking out.

The only slightly weaker direction seems to be the direction of the little nobleman behind him?

By the way, what if we can capture the other party?

Judd looked back and found that Lane had regained consciousness at some point and had already taken out two full-body shields from his feet and used them to block himself.

"I am a nobleman with an army."

Out of courtesy, he did not forget to say one more word.

“Shoot!!”

The taut bowstring made a harsh sound like the strings in the hands of a bad luthier, but the sound of the arrow cutting through the air was pleasant to the ear.

Judd tried his best to move around, but the light armor on his body was no protection against close-range arrows.

"Dudududu" in less than a breath, multiple arrows hit Judd's body.

Feeling the severe pain piling up in his body and feeling the strength dissipating bit by bit, Judd gritted his teeth and stared at the two shields in front of him.

Why, why was I given to the mad witcher like a commodity by fate, while this kid was born noble and owning such an army is like child's play to him.

Why did I have to meet this kind of guy just before I could change my fate!

Anger squeezed out the last bit of Judd's strength. He tremblingly reached for the backpack strap at his waist, and in his hand there appeared a strangely shaped pottery jar.

Lann, hiding behind the shield, was waiting for the rain of arrows to pass, when suddenly he saw a round object with sparks flying behind the shield.

It rolled twice on the ground. It was a ceramic pot that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It seemed to have a special layered design. The fuse extending from the pot was about to burn out. Lan En was quite familiar with this shape.

【Cellular Bomb】

"grass!"

After throwing the bomb, Judd, exhausted, fell to the ground, the blood in his body gushing out into the soil beneath him. He tremblingly took out a bottle of potion and wanted to pour it into his mouth, but he didn't have the strength to open it.

After two unsuccessful attempts to pry open the cork with one hand, Judd looked in the direction of the bomb. He saw the noble boy tumbling out from behind the shield in panic, followed by a loud noise, flames, impact and debris that engulfed the noble boy.

"My Lord Earl!"

All the soldiers shouted in panic, and the three servants' eyes turned red with anxiety.

Judd could see more from such a close distance. He saw scattered metal fragments shooting out in the air, and the ones that flew the farthest even hit him, causing him excruciating pain.

However, when these shrapnel hit the opponent's armor, they turned into fragments in an instant like wood chips.

The flame was more like the hand of a lover, which simply touched the other person's body and then disappeared.

The shock wave produced by the explosion was like a gentle breeze, and it couldn't even lift the opponent's body for a moment, but only made the tumbling body shake.

Why is the bomb so weak? The two shields wrapped in iron sheets have become sieves...

What material is the armor that boy is wearing?

The squire Sward strode forward, drew his sword and stabbed at the fallen Judd, vowing to kill the man who had hurt his earl.

"I want to live!" It was Lann who shouted the first time he heard the servants' voices. He knew that there would definitely be angry soldiers who would kill the witcher to vent their anger, and then all his work would be in vain.

Hearing Lann's roar, Sword felt relieved, but he did not slow down. He turned the tip of his sword and stabbed it into the opponent's knees twice. He also stomped on the opponent's arm as he was groping for the potion in anger.

A series of slashes caused the demon hunter to scream.

The squire Ace strode forward, slid to his knees, and rested Lan's head on his legs. He called on several vice-captains to tear off Lan's helmet, and then hurriedly picked up Lan's armor.

Lan felt his whole body relax, and fresh air finally filled in. The dizziness was still there, and now he felt a lingering fear.

Not to mention the pain of displaced internal organs, the taste of blood in his mouth made him nauseous. After all, he was hit head-on by a fantasy version of a grenade, and he was lucky to be alive and well.

[Unmovable]: Reduces damage taken when dodging by 80%. Increases adrenaline poison by +4%. (4/5)

Lann rolled over at the last moment. Fortunately, the skills produced by the system were really powerful. As long as you roll over, no matter what degree of damage is inflicted on you, it can be reduced by 80%.

Fortunately, Lann reacted quickly. Now that he thought about it carefully, even if only 20% of the power was left, he felt that he had lost half his life. If Lann took the full damage, he would probably die on the spot, and there would be no need to wait for the destruction of Cintra.

I was careless and underestimated the demon hunter.

It took Lan a long time to finally stand up. He refused the help of the people around him and walked slowly to the side of the demon hunter. The opponent who had just been so majestic was now covered in blood, with arrows and shrapnel all over his body, and he had lost his legs.

With the medical technology of today, there is no possibility of healing such injuries as holes in both legs, even with the use of magic.

The demon hunter in front of him was no longer a threat.

Lann slowly stepped forward and opened the potion that Judd was holding in his hand at the last moment, and slowly poured half of it into his mouth to prevent him from dying suddenly from his serious injuries.

While taking the medicine, Lann whispered:

"I respect the group of demon hunters very much. I can even say that I am one of the people in the world who respects and understands demon hunters the most. But you are different from those demon hunters - the leader of the thieves group."

He stared into those amber pupils and spoke word by word, "So I won't give you the treatment I imagined a demon hunter to be. And what you are about to experience is what you often give to others."

"I still have a lot of things I want to know, so please be honest from now on and don't waste our time - Mr. Cat Pie."
