Wolf-faction demon hunters have many means of attack, and compared to other schools except the Griffin School, they are more flexible in the use of signs in battle.

In addition to this, the Wolf School has another unique advantage: the legacy of the most orthodox Demon Hunter Order - the Ring of Elements.

This natural magic place found by the warlocks and alchemists of the Demon Hunter Cult can enhance the magic sign ability of the demon hunters. Lann even lit up all the third-level skills of the magic sign series with it. Although his consciousness rose to the astral elemental layer outside the world and was almost ambushed, he was able to escape danger and gain a lot in the end.

Of course, Lann was an exception. Normally, although the Ring of Elements could not raise the absolute strength of the Wolf School's seals to the same level as the Griffin School's, it could give them some other special effects.

For example, Lambert's [Axis Seal] has a strong hypnotic effect. When Lambert had just finished learning and was coming down from Kaer Morhen, he met two mercenaries. As a result, he easily hypnotized one of the mercenaries to kill his companion, and then made the poor blind man hang himself.

Geralt also strengthened his Axis Sign in the Ring of Elements, and gained a certain hypnotic effect. Although his hypnotic power was not as strong as Lambert's, which could make people commit suicide, he could still make the hypnotized people give simple instructions according to his thoughts.

He can also hypnotize multiple enemies at the same time.

…

"retreat!"

Amid Geralt's roar, the two dwarves, whose consciousness had been shrouded by the thick "ether" element, put down their weapons without hesitation and turned their backs, running back with big strides while each knocking down a companion.

The dwarves suddenly clinked and rolled together like tin cans.

Geralt cast one after another [Axis Seal] in his hand. His previous action had already attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was staring at Geralt. At this moment, there was no need for any extra aiming. As his body rotated, every time a seal was released, two dwarves would be hypnotized and then leave the field.

In less than ten breaths, dozens of dwarves were hypnotized and retreated from the center of the fighting. These hypnotized dwarves also took away twice as many of their companions.

The center of the battlefield, which had just been filled with deafening shouts and cries of killing, suddenly became eerily quiet.

Fortunately, the hypnotized dwarves quickly regained their senses after a while, but this made the dwarves even more suspicious of Geralt's methods.

The two clans were separated into two halves with Geralt as the center, and faced each other from a distance.

"It's Geralt. He went with us on the spring cleanup and saved many of our companions." A voice suddenly rang out from the Sieglin clan, "He's also very powerful... Kuba, should we fight him?"

"Shut up." Kuba Zigrin shouted in a low voice, "This situation cannot be stopped by a few people. We listen to the chief."

Not only the Sieglin clan, but also the Fuchs clan began to whisper.

"He seems to be the 'White Wolf', a warrior under Lord Lannister and also a demon hunter." A dwarf on Fuchs' side also whispered, "Is he as powerful as Lord Lannister? How did he separate so many dwarves? What should we do next?"

"Lord Lannister's warriors..." Petrit was not there, and his deputy was leading the team at the moment. "If possible, don't hurt him. Ask him what he wants to do first."

Either because of previous favors or because of the sudden outburst of power that Geralt had just displayed, both sides were wary and did not dare to act rashly at this moment.

Geralt shook his body, and after Heifeng ran to his side in tacit understanding, he moved closer to him unnoticed.

After all, he was just a wolf and not a griffin, and the effect of the potion [Tawny Owl] was only to speed up the recovery of magic power instead of directly replenishing it. After casting so many sigils suddenly, Geralt felt like a sponge that had been exposed to the sun for three days, and he really couldn't squeeze out a drop of magic power.

Geralt separated the two clans by himself for a short time, with amazing power and a face like a devil. But only he knew that even a water ghost could rip him apart at this moment, and if these dwarves rushed up regardless, he would have to let the black wind carry him away.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled as dozens of Cintra cavalry entered the battlefield and surrounded Geralt. They were not many in number, but they all raised their lances and formed a circle, like nails in the middle of the battlefield.

"Just pretend, and run away if the situation gets bad. Our horses are fast, and the dwarves have short legs and can't catch up." Geralt said in a low voice to the cavalry with a face as pale as a devil.

The warrior wearing the lion helmet nodded slightly and imperceptibly.

“Geralt!” Fuchs, who was shocked by the lion’s remaining power and the white wolf’s current posture, shouted from a distance, “This is not your war, and I don’t want to hurt you. Leave quickly, this is not something you can stop!”

“Geralt!” A roar came from Sieglin’s side. “This battle cannot be stopped. Even you can’t stop Sieglin!”

Geralt was silent, wondering what he could say to delay the conversation as long as possible.

He didn't know how to organize his words, but there were others present who had plenty to say.

Gabor arrived with the remaining dwarves of Sieglin. There were not many of them, and they came in a hurry without armor, and they were out of breath due to the long journey.

But Gabo's voice was still loud and clear: "Chief, stop it, this is not the real Sieglin!"

The arrival of Gabo's team made the dwarves around Chief Sieglin excited. They had been hating Fuchs for centuries, but why was one of their own standing in front of them now?

"Gabo, you traitor! I shouldn't have let you stay in Carbon Mountain for so long. It would have been better for you to die in human society!" Chief Ziglin jumped up and down angrily. "Are you standing on the side of our enemies now?"

"No, Patriarch, I am Sieglin, we are all Sieglin." Gabor said calmly, "Precisely because I am Sieglin, I cannot tolerate what happens next that will lead Sieglin into the abyss."

"We are not here to fight with our compatriots, but if you want to continue with today's plan, you must step over our bodies first. I hope our blood can temporarily awaken your sanity."

"Geralt, I'm also handing over the guys I brought with me to your command!" Gabor shouted at Geralt, "I'm going to take a few people to the Pool of Davor. They're planning to blow up the dam. If we don't go now, it will be too late!"

Geralt nodded. It was obvious that the Sieglin clan's fighting spirit had been reduced a lot because of the arrival of their compatriots, so he also relaxed a lot.

However, before he could agree to Gabo, a deafening noise was heard in the distance.

“Boom—”

Fire burst out all over the sky, and smoke that could not be covered even in the darkness rose from the direction of the dam. Geralt's eyes widened, and he could hear the faint sound of screams in his ears.

"The Pool of Davor! Damn Sieglin!" the dwarves of Fuchs screamed, "The chief and his men are still in the mine, there is no way they can escape the backflow of water!"

"It's too late." The patriarch of the Sieglin clan laughed. "We never thought of using such troublesome methods as hammers and axes to eliminate you! Although we didn't expect that there are so many people outside the mine, it is not a problem to deal with them. However..."

"What should I do with you, humans..." Chief Sieglin stopped smiling and looked at Geralt. "Our actions tonight should not have been known to others."

Chief Sieglin gave a loud order, and the Sieglin dwarves hesitated and did not want to raise their weapons in the face of Geralt and the Cintrians who had fought side by side not long ago. However, more dwarves who had not participated in the previous cleanup had begun to move slowly, pushing their hesitant companions to the back of the team, and there were still hundreds and thousands of battle axes on the front line facing the Cintrians at the same time.

"If you don't have the courage to raise weapons against humans, then subdue those traitors behind you!" Chief Sieglin shouted to his tribesmen who had no intention of fighting.

But when Geralt faced the aggressive Sieglin dwarves, his expression suddenly calmed down, and he even completely relaxed his body and leaned on Black Wind.

"Ziglin... I'm sorry." He said, "You wanted to eliminate us to keep the secret, but your actions tonight have long been known to others, and the person who knows is your great elder - Brovar Hogg."

In the white wolf's pupils, which had become as dark as the abyss after drinking the magic potion, a golden flash was suddenly reflected.

The direction where the light came from was the Pool of Davor.

…

Davor Pond, dam.

The dwarves who had just detonated the explosives were hiding behind the bunker. They now cautiously poked their heads out and cheered for the victory of this operation.

However, the next second, they were all blown away by the impact. They thought the explosion was delayed, but the miners who were assigned here were all experienced miners and it was impossible for them to misjudge the power of the explosion.

They looked dizzily towards the place where the impact force came from, but were suddenly knocked away again.

Looking back, sure enough, there was no explosives there at all, only a knight with his cloak blown up like a flag.

[Alder Seal: Alder Sweep]

The 360-degree telekinetic impact with no blind spots is the best option to clear the area without causing casualties.

Looking at the exploded dam in front of him, although it was not as powerful as before when it was filled with water, the remaining flood was still beyond human power to resist.

Fortunately, Lann is not an ordinary person.

He raised his head and drank a bottle of [Tawny Owl] to enhance his endurance. The powerful poison resistance made Lann calm. He stretched out his left hand, and the familiar seal descended on the Pool of Davor again.

[Alder Seal·Bone-piercing·Magic Explosion]!

The dwarves who had just been knocked unconscious had not even remembered to get up when they were rolled over again. This time the shock wave was not only powerful, but also bone-chilling!

When they were able to open their eyes that were blinded by the strong wind, they saw only a bright emerald light disappearing in the night sky. The knight appeared like the wind and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a tall piece of solid ice that stunned the dwarves.

"The dam... is frozen again..." a dwarf muttered to himself, "So he was the one who did it before, Lord Lannister..."

The Sieglin dwarves originally thought that the Fuchs clan had used their previous plan to repair the dam, but when they arrived they discovered that a huge piece of solid ice had blocked the entrance to the cave. At the time they were amazed at the Fuchs clan's magical powers, but now it seems that it is not what they imagined.

"What are we going to do...bomb it again?"

"We've run out of explosives. And if we blow him up again, he'll definitely come back and freeze us again. And next time, maybe we'll all be stuck in this big block of ice together."

"What about the patriarch's order?"

The dwarf who spoke at the beginning was silent for a while, not knowing whether to ask himself or answer: "Do you really think... the chief's order tonight is correct?"

…

"Lannister!" Chief Sieglin jumped up in anger.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the sound of waves sweeping the torrent, he knew something was wrong. And when Lan appeared on Black Wind's back emitting a bright amber light, he knew that the most important part of tonight's plan had failed.

"This is a fight between dwarves, you shouldn't interfere!" Chief Zigrin shouted, "Don't you Cintra want Mahakam's reinforcements?"

"Cintra promises that everyone who comes to help will be welcomed, and every race can live in equality in Cintra." Lann said coldly, "But you can't even live in equality within your own race. Cintra doesn't need people like you."

"Besides, you were planning to attack my people just now, right?"

The Sieglin clan was already very close to the Cintra army, and they were all murderous. If Lann's sudden appearance had not frightened them, they would have been in close combat with the Cintra people.

"We can't let anyone else know what happened today." Chief Ziglin took a deep breath. "In that case, we can only see if the lion of Cintra is as powerful as the rumors say!"

Sieglin's column advanced aggressively, and Lann rode to the front of the team as usual.

However, he did not make any attacking moves at this moment, but instead mobilized his magic power to activate his skills——

【Teleport】

A bright emerald-colored, slightly smaller spot of light appeared next to him.

All the Sieglin dwarves paused in their tracks as a short figure appeared before their eyes, and a huge mountain suddenly pressed down on their hearts.

The arrogant Chief Sieglin also opened his eyes wide and could no longer speak.

The light gradually disappeared, and a fully armed dwarf appeared in front of him. His hair was pale, but his body was strong and powerful, and from a distance he looked like a rock on the top of a mountain.

He was wearing a full set of armor and holding a war hammer as tall as him. But he had no need to use these weapons at all. Since his figure was fully revealed, any dwarf who passed by his eyes could not help but take a step back.

The person who came could not be Brovar Hogg. The great elder of the dwarves would not allow himself to be controlled by the inexplicable ancient blood magic. Although he didn't know if Lann was determined to use [Teleport], he could not resist.

The person who came was the dwarf officer who was scolded by the Great Elder when Lan first arrived at the mine. His name was Barclay Ayers.

Although he was speechless in front of the Great Elder, to other dwarves, Barclay's name was the loudest hammer sound in the Carbon Mountain. Barclay was the colonel in Mahakam's army. He had participated in battles against humans and elves before Mahakam closed the mountain. After Mahakam closed the mountain, he often fought on the front line to fight against monsters and open up his home.

Lann knew that when the Mahakam Volunteer Army rushed to the aid of the North in the future, Barclay would still serve as the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army. It was he who led the Mahakam heavy infantry to fight against the Nilfgaardian cavalry and created a record that shocked the continent.

Even without the embellishment of future achievements, Barclay's reputation in Mahakam is amazing. Most of the dwarves have served in the military, that is, they have served under Barclay. They can take action against Fuchs, who has a feud with them, and they can take action against the human duke who suddenly intervened, but they will never have the courage to raise their axes against Barclay.

"Just now, I was discussing with the Great Elder the issue of the 'big cleanup' around the Wodar Land and Seagull Surround." Barclay slowly turned his head, his eyes full of regret for not being able to make the best use of his talents.

"But unexpectedly, Lord Lannister suddenly appeared and told us what happened here. I couldn't believe it at first, but now it seems..."

Barclay's eyes sharpened and he suddenly raised his voice. His resonant voice was like a horn echoing throughout the battlefield:

"The Great Elder orders: The Sieglin clan must immediately lay down their weapons and surrender. All Sieglins who participated in this operation will be forced to work in the mines for 500 years. Those who refuse to work will be expelled from Mahakam and will not be allowed to set foot on the mountain land for the rest of their lives!"

"The Carbon Mountain Corps is on the way. If Sieglin continues to resist, the dwarves will indeed shed blood soon." Barclay said in a deep voice, "But it's not Fuchs, but you, Sieglin."
