In the past few days, Lann has been relying on Triss's crow magic and the dual positioning of the eternal fire to monitor the enemy and find out the enemy's position.
And his primary target is - Reigns.
This warlock had escaped from him once, so Lann would never give him another chance to escape this time.
Although his own strength and quality are not very good, he has the dual support of Vilgefortz and the Emperor of Nilfgaard. This time it was because of Kolgrim that a mistake was made, but Lann may not be so lucky next time.
So, Reans, you will die this time!
As for Olgierd, Lann was not so anxious. But since the two of them were together, it would save trouble to deal with them together.
After all, we are here.
"I will go deal with the warlock first. It is too dangerous to leave a spellcaster in the back of the battlefield to chant spells without distraction."
On the way, Lan began to assign their respective tasks.
"House, you will lead the cavalry charge, Deputy Levin, Milva will provide cover."
The three attendants nodded.
Lann finally turned to the burly snake hunter and said, "Letho, I'm leaving Olgierd in your care. He once made a deal with the devil through [Summoning Magic] and gained immortality. He is very difficult to deal with. You just need to hold him back for now. I'll come to help you after I've dealt with the warlock."
"I have seen immortals, but I don't know to what extent he has 'immortality'." Lei Suo had a blank expression on his face, as if he was unsure whether to draw the steel sword or the silver sword. "I will give him a good test. Maybe you won't even need to take action."
Lann grinned: "I look forward to it."
At this time, the enemies in front have already appeared, and they are obviously ready for battle.
"Cintra—" Lann raised the Sword of the Lady of the Lake. The rune sword, which had already accumulated a lot of damage layers, was still dazzling in the daytime, making him look like he was holding a torch. "Charge!"
"For Cintra, for Lannister!"
The cavalrymen raised their lances high and charged towards the Wild Boar Army with a mighty momentum like a landslide.
The silver and black-gray torrents collided with a loud bang.
Lann and Reso simultaneously formed seals with their left hands, and an invisible wave gathered in their palms.
[Alder Seal]!
The two mental impacts merged together like ocean currents and violently crashed into the enemy's formation.
One is a demon hunter from the Griffin School who has awakened the ancient blood, and the other is the current leader of the Viper School. The power of their seals cannot be estimated by that of ordinary demon hunters, and the combined attack of this seal unleashed an astonishing force!
The first few horsemen in the Wild Boar Army seemed to have collided head-on with a wall of storm. They flew off their horses without any resistance and were trampled into meat paste by their companions behind them.
The Wild Boar Army's cavalry phalanx, which had been barely in order, suddenly became chaotic.
A cavalry charge requires the soldiers at the front to act as spearheads to tear through the enemy's defenses. It depends on which side has the harder and sharper knife.
The combined attack of Lann and Letho's [Alder Seal] was equivalent to using a hammer to directly break the enemy's knife tip!
Reso's horse couldn't withstand the huge reaction force, its steps became slightly disordered, and it fell behind Lann by one body length.
On the other hand, Black Wind's huge pupils lit up. The iron, the horseshoes, the swords, and the upcoming blood all made the blood of this horse with the skill [War Frenzy] boil.
Lannped his chest with his left slap hand, and the [Quenn Seal] was applied to his body.
Then he led the way and charged into the enemy's messy cavalry front line amid Heifeng's excited neighing.
"The Earl has torn open the enemy's shell for us!"
House shouted, and the lion emblem on his left breastplate seemed to roar as well: "Cintra Riders, follow Lannister until death!"
"charge!"
The lances smashed into the wild boar army's formation like meteors.
Compared with last time, the wild boar army was at least fully equipped, but most of them only wore leather armor and carried scimitars, and could not withstand a charge of this magnitude.
The warriors at the front of them were like a light boat with its rudder fully loaded towards a reef; they were smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye, thus marking the beginning of this confrontation between the knights.
There was a surprising reaction force on his arm, and House felt that his lance smashed a man and a horse's head. The strict cavalry training made him decisively drop the lance and draw the sword, and then he saw a figure rushing towards him.
"For the Chief!"
It turned out to be a cavalryman of the Wild Boar Army. Relying on their skilled cavalry techniques, they jumped from their horses and rushed towards them, roaring in the air and waving scimitars.
This unprecedented cavalry tactic made House unable to react in time, and he was pulled off his horse by the enemy due to carelessness.
His back hit the ground hard, his chest pressing on the enemy. House, who was passively used as a cushion, had difficulty breathing, but his body strengthened by the [Follower] panel allowed him to draw his sword with superhuman reaction speed, and he actually regained consciousness before the enemy who was pressing on him.
With a "puff", the heads of the Wild Boar Army flew into the sky with columns of blood.
House looked around in the chaos and found that many Cintra cavalrymen had been tricked like himself. He now understood why these wild boar soldiers had the courage to fight against them in light armor.
"Swish", "swish", "swish", one after another yellow-feathered arrows flew across the battlefield. The ear-sore "bang", "bang" sound of the bowstrings would take the life of a wild boar soldier every time, rescuing the Cintra soldiers who were attacked by surprise.
"Hold on!" House roared, "They are no match for the Nilfgaardians!"
…
On the other side, Lann was like a gust of black wind rolling through the wild boar army's formation.
Some wild boar soldiers wanted to spur their horses forward, but the horses hesitated amid the neighing of the black wind. Those who were forced forward were torn and bitten by the frenzied demon-hunting horses, and were so startled that they stood upright on their feet and fell over, crushing the soldiers on their backs to the ground.
There were also enemies who wanted to do the same thing and knock Lan to the ground, thinking that the Lion Earl, who was alone and surrounded, would definitely be trampled into a ball by the horses and armor behind him in an instant.
But the blond knight seemed to have eyes on his back, and the rune sword in his hand was faster than the wind.
The soldiers who jumped over only felt a flash of light passing before their eyes, and the direction of their bodies changed. All their consciousness was taken away as the blood splattered.
"Lannister!" Olgierd's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards Lann, waving his scimitar.
The wild boar soldiers spontaneously made way for the chief.
The last von Everek faced the last Lannister. This founding hero of Redania wielded a scimitar and even drew a dazzling arc of light in the air.
It was a red light, the color of blood, the color of anger, and the color of hatred.
"clang——"
The golden rune sword and the red scimitar collided in mid-air. The sharp sound of steel tearing made the surrounding wild boar soldiers retreat two steps.
Lan's right hand shook violently. This collision ended in a draw. The man on the opposite side was as strong as himself.
Ogierd's palm was dyed red in an instant. His strength was more unscrupulous than Lann's. The moment his sword and Lann's sword met, his palm was torn apart, and it healed again when their swords separated and they swung their arms to cushion the force.
The smile on his face became even more intense.
The sword and the knife were evenly matched in the first round, but knightly combat is about more than just the knights.
Heifeng was extremely angry.
As the leader of the wild boar army, Olgierd's warhorse was the best. It was the only horse on the battlefield that dared to charge towards Lann with its master on its back. And this was a mistake.
So in the next breath after the swords collided, the two horses also collided with each other.
At that moment, there was a crisp sound of bones breaking on Ogierd's mount, and it retreated with a wail, blood constantly flowing out of its ears and eyes.
Heifeng just shook his head slightly, snorted disdainfully, and then accelerated again.
The amber eyes of a feline carnivore lit up, and Heifeng actually bit the neck of the opposite warhorse!
The large, flat incisors and molars failed to tear off the enemy horse's throat, but they also sank deeply into the enemy's body. From Lan's angle, he could even see that the entire horse's neck was deflated like a piece of bread. The throat, muscles, and bones inside must have been twisted into a ball at this time.
The black wind swept the enemy horse's head in, and he gritted his teeth and took it three or four steps before letting it go. Olgierd was shaking on the horse's back and couldn't control his center of gravity at all. He could only abandon the horse and jump towards Lann.
What greeted him was a left hand making a strange gesture.
There is also a cold word:
"I don't have time to mess with you right now. I'll deal with you later."
[Alder Seal]!
The mental impact was like a heavy hammer hitting Ogierd from mid-air, causing him to bleed profusely. He flew out like a torn sack for who knows how far before he fell heavily to the ground.
He was even trampled hard by his own horse a few times, and the sound of crisp wood breaking was heard continuously.
"Don't run, Lannister!"
Ogierd twisted violently on the ground twice, and the injuries on his body healed within a few breaths.
He stood up with a roar, but was immediately chopped off half of his neck by a sword light that came from nowhere. His head flipped directly to his back, with only a layer of skin and flesh hanging loosely on it.
Olgierd stood there for two seconds, his vision spinning. He quickly reacted and roughly grabbed his hair with his right hand, pulling it back into place.
Pressing the seam of his neck to allow the flesh to regrow, Olgierd looked at the sturdy bald man who suddenly appeared before him. At a glance, the man opposite him was more than a head taller than him. This was a man who could be seen as a strong enemy.
Reso looked at Ogierd's squirming neck, thought for a moment and sheathed his steel sword, then drew out his silver sword decorated with a snake head carving.
"For a thing like you, sword oils like the Hanged Man's Poison probably won't work on humans." Lei Suo said coldly, "Let me see how immortal your 'immortal body' is."
…
Without Ogierd's obstruction, Lann rode the black wind and rushed through the crowd again.
In just two more breaths, he had completely penetrated the enemy's formation. The view in front of him was clear and there was no other cavalry in sight.
Except for a strange-looking man who was wearing iron armor but not equipped with a sword.
Reigns.
At this moment, the other party was muttering something, and the air around him was constantly compressing and distorting.
I have killed all the enemies and am standing in front of him, but this guy is still accumulating spells here?
Without any hesitation, Lann's left hand flashed and he took out the crossbow that he had already strung from the [Inventory].
With a "whoosh", the arrow flew into the air.
Reens obviously also saw the blond knight rushing out of the crowd, and hurriedly sped up his chanting.
The twisted energy beam suddenly tilted towards Lann and Heifeng, and the arrow was also wrapped in it.
But in Reens's astonished eyes, the arrow seemed to be merely blown by the wind, without even shaking, and continued to fly towards him.
Magic-blocking golden arrowheads——Caring from Geron, the Grand Master of the Griffin School.
Milva's [Archer] talent improved Lann's archery skills to a level that was no less than that of a sword. Reans screamed and fell off his horse, with a thin arrow already piercing the iron armor on his chest.
The armor saved his life. A crossbow is easy to fire, but it is not as powerful as a heavy bow.
Black Wind charged and knocked the opponent's horse away. Lan took advantage of the momentum to jump down and pounced towards Reens from the sky.
The warlock pulled out the magic-blocking golden arrow and rolled twice on the ground to avoid Lann's pursuit. This man's escape was really skillful.
He rolled and crawled to his feet, and began to mutter to himself again.
"Ryan, I love your new legs, they're magical. Have you ever thought about getting the other one like this?"
Lane shouted provocatively, causing Reans's artificial leg to stagger and the magic spell he was reciting halfway suddenly became unstable again.
The warlock looked up angrily, and saw a huge black shadow coming towards him.
It's Lannister's strange horse!
With a loud "bang", the blue protective shield was erected. Reens was shocked. The force of the impact was no less than that of the brown bear!
Black Wind's head just shook, and he raised his hoof again unwillingly, forcing Reens to stay where he was, holding up the shield and unable to move.
Compared with other warlocks, Reins's magic power may not be strong enough, but his ability to seize opportunities in battle is still good.
The attacks of Black Wind were not so intensive. Taking advantage of the time it took to catch its breath after a few impacts, Reens raised his left hand and it began to flash.
Seeing lightning begin to flash on Reans' hands, Lann rushed towards the enemy, but Black Wind could not withstand this.
The Sword of the Lady of the Lake is a magical weapon with runes on it, and it is naturally not made of difice metal. Therefore, when fighting against the warlock, Lann has to change his equipment.
With a flash of his left hand, Lann took out the [Top-Quality Griffin Silver Sword] from the [Inventory], and in front of Reans' horrified eyes, he poured his force onto his protective shield with all his might.
With a loud bang, the blue protective shield shattered.
With a "crack", Reens turned around and struck Lan with lightning. The [Quinn Seal] was broken and Lan flew backwards.
Finally, with a "bang", Black Wind broke through the protective shield and contentedly knocked Reens towards Lane.
With the seal protecting him, Lann was not hurt at all. He deftly adjusted his posture in mid-air, landed safely, and walked towards Reens leisurely. He slapped the ground with his left hand and laid down an [Yarden Seal].
The purple magic circle completely enveloped the warlock, completely eliminating any possibility of his escape.
Blood foam kept spurting out of Reans' mouth, and it seemed that he didn't have the strength to continue chanting the spell.
The armor on the opponent's body had been dented, and there must be broken bones inside. After all, it was Black Wind's headbutt, and Lan En himself didn't dare to take it head-on, let alone a warlock.
"I thought about it and suddenly felt that one iron leg is enough. It would be better to give you a new iron head. What do you think?"
Lane approached Reans step by step, looking at the other party struggling but unable to stand up, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Don't... kill me." Under the dual effects of the slowness of the magic circle and the serious injuries to his body, Reens spoke intermittently, "I can tell you who is behind me."
"Not only that, not only Nilfgaard, but also..."
Before Reens could speak, the griffin badge on Lane's neck suddenly began to vibrate.
The lion's pupils suddenly shrank, a familiar feeling, a familiar chaotic energy fluctuation.
Reans must have some magical device or other monitoring equipment on him that allows the person behind him to monitor his situation in real time. That is why the mastermind was able to take Reans away so accurately last time.
The wind was blowing hard. The familiar portal was open again. Even in the daytime, there was a blinding light, and the bright red was even a little blinding.
But Lann is no longer the same person he was before. Although they have only been separated for a month, his strength has improved qualitatively.
At the edge of the [Yaden Seal] surrounding Reens, an hourglass-shaped magic rune suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and a beam of purple magic light struck over at an angle like lightning.
With a loud "boom", the chaotic energy maintaining the portal suddenly turned into real chaos and dissipated into nothingness in a distortion.
That’s right, [Seal of Aden] is the only means for players in the original game to deal with portals besides the magic-blocking gold bomb!
Facing Reans who had almost no ability to fight back, Lane still seemed to be unnecessarily opening the seal, just to prevent the person behind him from taking Reans away.
No one can take Reigns away today, Lane said.
To be on the safe side, Lann slapped the ground with his left hand again and released another purple magic circle, overlapping the two to provide double insurance.
At the same time, another new portal appeared in the air accompanied by a strong wind, and then disappeared with an electric shock-like sound.
The time it takes for the portal to form is not enough for one person to pass through, and it is not even enough to transport a little energy.
Fully automatic magic turret, anyone who uses it will know!
Reans' face was full of despair. He knew that even the people behind him could not save him today.
Purple light covered his entire body. The warlock slowly moved backwards, begging, "Don't kill me... Believe me, you will never imagine who is behind me, and how terrifying he is. As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you."
How could Lan let Reans tell him the man's name? He already knew it, and Ace was still lurking in the other party's hands.
"Shh." Lann put his index finger on his lips and whispered, "I don't want to know, and you don't have to tell me. The other person's identity is not important to me, but the absence of you is very important to me."
Portals kept appearing in the air and were constantly shattered by the [Yaden Seal]. From time to time, strong winds blew and explosions sounded, and each sound rang in Reens' heart.
"You know, the incident between you and Philippa in Niubao... was the biggest setback I've ever suffered since my debut." Lann said coldly, "Philippa is still useful for the time being, so I'll let her go for now. As for you..."
Lann took a deep breath and raised the rune sword: "I will try not to enjoy this process too much."
The golden light flickered on the rune sword, and blood dyed the ground beneath his feet red.
The person behind the portal seemed to have sensed something and finally disappeared.
Heifeng trotted over and nudged Lan En with his head.
Lann waved his hand and put Reens' body into the [Inventory], touched Black Wind's mane, and climbed onto the horse.
After all, our own people are still fighting the enemy. As a leader, I cannot waste too much time on this and can only give this evil sorcerer an advantage.
**The horse turned into a gust of wind and returned to the battlefield again. The resentment in Lan's heart was not vented much by the death of Reans. At this moment, all the anger was directed at the Wild Boar Army.
However, these enemies had already been almost wiped out by the Cintra cavalry. They were indeed caught off guard by the tactics of the Wild Boar Army soldiers at the beginning, but their rich combat experience allowed them to adjust quickly.
Coupled with the support of three servants with combat power beyond ordinary people, especially Milva's long-range support that can cover the entire battlefield, the balance of the battle tilted towards Lann's side early on.
Lann charged through the crowd for a while, and with Black Wind's help, he smashed the last warhorse on the field, breaking its bones and muscles, and knocked the boar cavalry on his back flying backwards. Soon, the Cintra cavalry came up to finish off the enemy.
On the battlefield, only Olgierd was left.
This man had seven or eight long swords stuck in his body at the moment, but the weight of the steel did not interfere with his movements. He was still dashing left and right in the crowd, clanging the shields of the cavalrymen in the front row.
If it weren't for the delay of the three servants and the help of Reso, the Cintra cavalry would have suffered heavy losses.
Lann also noticed that there was a constant flow of black mist from Ogierd's body. He didn't know whether it was the black magic power he taught himself or a byproduct of the power given by the Mirror Master.
Milva tried to shoot an arrow at Olgierd, which pierced his throat accurately. This fatal injury only made him stagger twice, and he pulled out the arrow with his backhand.
The female shooter frowned at this scene.
"Lannister, come out and face me!"
Lan pushed aside the soldiers who were like a cage of trapped beasts and walked to the middle.
The bald demon hunter was at the forefront. The [Quen Seal] had long disappeared. His leather armor was torn in many places, and there were some bloodstains on his exposed arms.
Seeing the solemn expression on Reso's cold face, Lann chuckled and asked, "How is it?"
"Incredible." Letho admitted generously, "Swords, signs, poisons, various sword oils, I tried them all, but almost none of them worked. Moreover, he is tireless and has no sense of pain. I can suppress him, but I can't kill him. This is the kind of enemy I least want to encounter. Fortunately, he is only a human. If a monster has this ability, it would probably massacre a small country in a day."
