"You lazy creatures, hurry up and move!"

Hearing the call for help, the nearest Kaedweni officer immediately shouted at his soldiers to attack.

However, these undisciplined soldiers had just been drinking and having fun. Although order was quickly restored, it was obviously still some time before they could fight.

Lann looked into the distance at the small black dot in the sky for a while, and suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Let's go first!"

Lord Lannister acted decisively and led his team of witchers and cavalry to the place where the distress call was sounded, leaving behind the Kaedweni officers who cursed his troops for their disastrous performance.

The sound of the horn was not far from the camp gate, and Lann and his subordinates soon approached the troops seeking help.

The reason why Lann rushed out in such a hurry was for only one purpose - to rob the monster and thereby gain the right to distribute the spoils.

In his eyes, the things flying in the sky were not monsters, but bottles of decoction.

The two monsters seemed to be a pair, working in perfect harmony. They looked like some legendary creature called a "dragon", but much smaller, only about four meters long, about the same size as a griffin.

At the same time, they have extremely degenerated wing-like forelimbs, the scales on their bodies are thin and broken, and in many places their tough skin is even directly exposed, and their calls are hoarse and unpleasant.

They are more like winged lizards than "dragons".

They had inverted spikes on the top of their noses and ears, and even larger butcher-knife-like horny protrusions on their tails. When Lan and his men were a few dozen steps away, they saw the tail blade easily split an oak shield under the dive and throw of its owner.

[Dragon-like creature genus] - Fork-tailed dragon.

Few people know what a dragon really looks like, after all, it is almost impossible for someone who has seen a dragon up close to survive and tell others. Therefore, people often mistake other monsters for dragons, such as the fork-tailed "dragon" in front of us.

People give these large winged lizards the beautiful name of "dragon-like".

The fork-tailed dragon is named for its deadly tail, but this creature is far from a real dragon. An experienced demon hunter with adequate preparation is enough to kill it alone, and a well-trained team of archers is enough to suppress, drive away, or even shoot them.

The army before them was larger than Lan's, numbering nearly a hundred men, including a dozen genuine knights.

Just two fork-tailed dragons would never allow such a troop to blow the horn for help. And the fact was just as Lann expected. In addition to the fork-tailed dragons, the troops on the ground were also fighting a group of monsters the size of teenagers.

These monsters look like skinned humans, with hideous and ugly faces, thick hands and feet, sharp claws, and short and thick necks that are almost non-existent. Some of them walk on all fours like cats, while others with shorter claws stand on two feet.

[Corpse-eating creatures]——Ghouls and scavengers.

The four-legged ones are ghouls, and the two-legged ones are scavengers. You can guess their habits based on their names.

Ghouls are creatures with similar combat power to water ghosts, the only difference is that one is on the ground and the other is in the water. The scavenger devil is a little bit special.

"For the Queen!" A knight shouted his faith, urged his horse to move, and used his lance to pierce a scavenger that was as fast as the horse.

However, just as the brave knight was about to turn his spear towards the next target, he saw the Corruption Demon on the lance, which looked like rotten meat, suddenly twitched and shook, and then -

With a "bang", it exploded.

Knowledge point 1: After killing it, the Carrion Demon will move away immediately. If you look at it again, it will explode.

The knight who was hit screamed, and his broken horse fell to the ground with a wail. Immediately, zombies surrounded him and buried him.

The iron can-like armor bought the knight some time, and the infantry immediately rushed forward to kill and drive away the monster and pulled him back. But after removing the mask, they were surprised to find that the knight's face was green and black, obviously poisoned.

Knowledge point 2: The gas produced by the explosion of the Corruptor is poisonous.

"Stay away from those two-legged monsters and use your bow and arrows!"

The commander shouted like this, and immediately the archers turned their arrows towards the Corruptor.

But this created an opportunity for the fork-tailed dragon that was hovering in the air and was suppressed by the rain of arrows. A black shadow flashed, and immediately an archer's neck was cut in half by the dragon's tail.

Objectively speaking, a fully armed 100-man team is enough to deal with these monsters, even with an additional fork-tailed dragon. However, the human army has one biggest problem when facing monsters - lack of experience.

Therefore, there are always many casualties, defeats, and even massacres that could have been avoided.

Lann, who was watching all this, frowned. In addition to the wrong way the army faced the monsters, he also discovered an additional problem: there should be no cooperation or even friendship between corpse-eating creatures and dragon-like creatures. Attacking human troops together was against their habits.

Even a monster has to conform to biology, right?

Just as he was thinking this, Lann saw another fork-tailed dragon swooping down from the sky and grabbing a scavenger demon, then flapping its wings and flying high to throw the scavenger demon down.

There was a "bang", and then a "bang", as if a biological bomb had been dropped. The impact and the poisonous gas that filled the air like an alchemical bomb knocked down several more unlucky people.

Well, it seems that they are not cooperating. This is a three-way melee between unlucky humans, corpse-eating creatures, and fork-tailed dragons.

Although this dense distribution of monsters is also outrageous, it is much more reasonable than the two-by-two cooperation that Lane had previously conjectured.

Several knights were protecting a woman in gold armor in the middle of the team. They were overjoyed when they saw a knight appear at the end of the road; but then they saw that there was only one knight, and they were disappointed.

Heifeng was so excited that with its excellent speed, it had left Leiso and the others behind long ago.

"Don't come over here, knight in front, go back and call for support!"

Lann's speed was even faster: "I am Lann Lannister Rhaanlon. Support will be here soon!"

The knight who was shouting was both impressed and anxious when he saw Lann's desperate attitude, while the woman who was being protected behind him suddenly became thoughtful:

"A Lannister? The Lion of Cintra?"

"Garsh--" The fork-tailed dragon in the sky saw a human coming alone. Its habit of attacking lone enemies first made it immediately lower its altitude and dive down.

The other knights were shocked when they saw this, but they really didn't have the energy to come to support.

Lann's eyes lit up with excitement. I came here just for you, the fork-tailed dragon mutation inducer and fork-tailed dragon decoction!

He stretched out his left hand and made a mysterious seal. The fork-tailed dragon in the sky fell down with overwhelming wind pressure, and its powerful long tail drove the sharp tail blade to attack at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

[Alder Seal]!

The stronger wind pressure immediately messed up the air in front of Lann's eyes. The monster that was gliding with flapping wings immediately twisted and fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

"Shhhhhhhhh——"

Black Wind couldn't use magic seals, but the gale it created at this moment was no less powerful than that of Lann's Alder.

Collide!

There was only a startling muffled sound, as if a chariot at full speed broke through a roadblock, and the fork-tailed dragon flew into the encirclement of the zombies like a rag sandbag.

The giant aerial beast with a body length of more than four meters was defeated by a horse that was almost half its size. The visual impact of this scene was simply too great!

The knights protecting the queen looked at their own horses and then at Heifeng.

This horse! Knocked the fork-tailed dragon! Away!

Who is this person? What is this horse?

"The Lion of Cintra." The woman protected by the knight repeated the name again, but this time her tone changed.

There was a fork-tailed dragon in the sky. Lann flipped his left hand and took out a longbow.

The crossbow is easy to fire, and is suitable for using Ashina swordsmanship to strike the enemy in battle. But now that both hands are free, the traditional bow can more reasonably bring out Lann's current archery skills and extraordinary strength.

This bow was a top-quality product purchased by Lan from Novigrad, made in Zerekan. The handle was carefully crafted from mahogany, and the sleek limbs were made of a combination of wood, whalebone, and tendon. Standing almost as tall as Lan, it was the longest bow and had the largest poundage.

A heart-stirring "click" sound was heard when Lan drew his bow. He put on a fine iron feather arrow and adjusted his breathing slightly.

"Bang!" The bowstring roared, a dark shadow streaked across the sky, and the fork-tailed dragon's wing membrane was pierced. The monster fell headfirst, following in the footsteps of its companions.

It was not until this time that the sound of a feather arrow breaking through the air reached everyone's ears.

A part of the ghouls and carrion demons in the melee suddenly rushed to the body of the fork-tailed dragon, which greatly reduced the pressure on the team seeking help.

Lann tapped the horse's belly lightly to steady Black Wind's body, and he kept drawing his bow and arrows, piercing one zombie after another.

The "bang" and "bang" sounds of explosions mixed with the loud sound of solid bowstrings were continuous and more exciting than war drums.

The knights who were watching were about to pursue the victory, but they heard Lann shouting at them: "Back off!"

"Retreat?" The knight was puzzled. It was clearly a winning game.

"Back off!" the woman they were protecting gave the order in a firm tone.

Then, in full view of everyone, Lan took out a clay pot from somewhere and rubbed it with his fingers to ignite a flame.

With a "bang", [Hive] crossed the battlefield with Lann's amazing arm strength.

With a loud bang, the violent explosion far surpassing that of Dragon's Dream pierced everyone's eardrums and eyes. A whirlwind of flames spread out from the place where the bomb exploded, as if a real dragon was roaring at this moment.

Knowledge point three: The gas produced by the explosion of the Corruptor is flammable and explosive.

At this moment, no one knows how many corrosive demons have died on the battlefield, and the light green gas has already spread.

More Carrion Demons were affected by the explosion, and then they were detonated one by one like firecrackers. The ghouls flew out in all directions like fireworks, and fell to the ground with a "pop" like rotten meat.

The Snake Faction Demon Hunters and Lann's troops arrived late at this time.

"Leso, you two come with me to deal with those two fork-tailed dragons. The rest of you will clean up the battlefield and eliminate the zombies."

The demon hunters drew their swords and nodded.

"Yes!" the attendants and soldiers responded loudly.

Facing large monsters, riding a horse is not flexible enough. Lann landed and patted Black Wind, letting it chase the ghoul like playing whack-a-mole.

The flames and smoke gradually dissipated, revealing two bloodstained fork-tailed dragons. Most of their scales had fallen off, their two wing membranes were torn, and one of them even had its proud tail blown off.

Any demon hunter like Lann could fight a monster like this alone, let alone five of them?

He suddenly drew out the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, and the golden light wrapped around the other four snake-head swords, drawing silver arcs in the air towards the fork-tailed dragon.

Lann first chose a larger fork-tailed dragon, and Kolgrim followed to cooperate with him; Letho, Oxs, and Serrit tacitly chose another smaller one.

Considering that he was in front of the human army, Lann even felt like he was playing an exhibition match. He controlled his movements in casting the seal and just swung his sword, wanting to deliberately show his bravery in front of his future allies.

With his current strength level, it is indeed enough. It is just a little troublesome at most.

The fork-tailed dragon in his hand pounced towards Lann. Even though the aerial monster had landed, it was still not to be underestimated.

Lann flipped his left hand and this time took out a crossbow.

He pulled the trigger lightly, and the arrow shot out and pierced into one of the eyes of the fork-tailed dragon. Lann slightly turned sideways and let the fork-tailed dragon, which had lost its balance in mid-air, pass by like a leisurely stroll in the garden.

Kolgrim rolled on the ground, and taking advantage of the opportunity, he swung his sword along the fork-tailed dragon's hind legs, and used the monster's own movements and strength to remove half of its foot.

The fork-tailed dragon roared in pain and swung its tail as dangerous as a butcher's knife towards Kolgrim.

With a flash of golden light, the sharp rune sword accurately bypassed the hard keratin protrusions and slashed into the flesh, cutting off the dangerous tail.

Then Lann began to turn his body by inertia, twisting his waist and hips, and the long sword drew circles in the air. The sword light mixed with blood and energy went in and out of the fork-tailed dragon, causing it to lose its hind legs, left wing, and front wing until it could no longer move.

The knights watching the scene felt dizzy for the umpteenth time, and were filled with admiration in their hearts for the umpteenth time. The person before them was agile yet powerful, elegant yet violent. This was the dance of death between the sword and the knight!

The fork-tailed dragon had no power to resist. On the one hand, it was because of the previous explosion and Lann's attack, and on the other hand, the half of its foot that was cut off by Kolgrim had begun to bleed black blood.

This is a poison unique to the Snake Sect.

Lann chopped from the dragon's tail to its head, and finally stopped spinning. He raised the rune sword high at the fork-tailed dragon's neck and chopped it down with a blow that even a heavy axe could not deliver.

With a "bang", the fork-tailed dragon's head fell to the ground.

Taking a deep breath, Lan looked around the battlefield.

There was no reason why the three snake-faction demon hunters would fail in dealing with the seriously injured fork-tailed dragon. The monster had been poisoned to the extreme, and Letho was just about to plunge his sword into its spine.

On the battlefield of the zombies, Black Wind was running happily like he was crushing chickens, and the knights had already started cleaning the battlefield.

Seeing Lann turn around and leave, two Cintra soldiers immediately stepped forward, skillfully took out a knife and reached into the body of the fork-tailed dragon. After fiddling with it for a while, they took out a ball of blue-green mutation-inducing substance and stuffed it into the alchemical pottery jar.

With such a leader who likes to kill monsters and collect materials, the people under him have also been trained.

The battle was over, and Lann finally had time to look at the team that was asking for help.

They were easy to spot because the knights who went into battle wore robes embroidered with coats of arms.

This is a very strange shield, split in half from the middle. The left half is a Lyrian eagle soaring in a yellow sky, and the right half is a red square with a white background.

It feels like two emblems were forcibly kneaded together.

Lann, who had studied heraldry, recognized this emblem. There was only one country in the entire North that used this kind of "fusion" emblem.

The United Kingdom of Lyria and Rivia, a country completely united by the marriage of King Reginald of Rivia and Princess Myvé of Lyria.

Seeing Lan coming, Queen Miwei, who was protected by knights behind her, ordered her subordinates to make way and face Lan.

In the North, Queen Mevy is a strong woman like Calanthe. She is famous in the North for her keen insight, stunning beauty, and unparalleled courage.

It is said that her husband once wanted to please Mi Wei after their marriage, and after consulting the ladies in the palace, he wanted to give his wife a gift to express his love. However, Mi Wei successively threw away the fine Ophir brocade, threw the necklace inlaid with sapphires out of the window, and smashed Kovelqin on the floor of the boudoir.

It wasn't until Reginald presented a set of carefully crafted gold-inlaid armor that Mi Wei's heart melted.

Although King Reginald of Livia has passed away, Queen Miwei has been crowned as the queen and has maintained the ruling power of Livia with her amazing prestige. She also led many expeditions to repel the enemy when the old king passed away and the situation was unstable. In the end, the two neighboring countries were completely merged to form the unique United Kingdom of the Second North.

If we really want to pick out the difference between her and Calanthe, it might be that she became famous a little later. When Calanthe won the battle, Mi Wei was still waiting to be married.

But in the future, she might achieve more than Calanthe.

As Lann came over, the queen was also looking at him curiously. She had been curious about Lann Lannister Rhaanron, who was in the limelight in the North.

Witnessing Lann playing with the fork-tailed dragon, she sighed sincerely: "I have heard of the name of the Lion of Cintra for a long time, but today I know that seeing is believing."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at her soldiers who had suffered many casualties.

The United Kingdom of Lyria and Rivia was also on the edge of the North and was the first line of defense against Nilfgaard. In addition, the journey was long, so Queen Miwei did not bring too many soldiers. She thought that there was no need to worry about the safety of the legion of a hundred people in the North, but she did not expect that she would suffer heavy losses when she was about to reach the Haji Fortress.

Lann bowed slightly and said, "I hope I arrived in time and didn't frighten the Queen."

Mi Wei also returned the greeting in kind: "Thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many more people I would have lost."

It was not until this time that the horn of dispatching troops was heard from the direction of the fortress, which made Mi Wei grit her teeth.
