More than a dozen hunting dogs are tracking the scent of the witcher.
Behind them was a large group of witch hunters, at least eighty or ninety people. The Church of Eternal Fire had mobilized almost all the witch hunters that could be mobilized nearby.
Behind the witch hunters were some fully armed church knights. They had difficulty moving, leading their war horses, because the dense forest made it inconvenient to move around, and many of them were wearing full body armor. If they came across a place with stagnant water, they would sink their entire foot into the mud if they stepped down.
They were moving forward, cursing, much slower than the witch hunters who were only equipped with light armor.
Further away, many people could be seen approaching, some on horseback, preparing to go around from behind and cut off the witcher's retreat.
This assassination attempt made the Church of the Eternal Fire like an enraged tiger. They had always been the ones hunting down witches and witchers, but now they were the ones ambushed by witches and witchers instead.
The battle in Rund had just ended, and the witcher immediately set fire to Colen's side.
The top leaders of the Church of Eternal Fire were furious and prepared to crucify these demon hunters in the square of the temple in order to maintain the dignity of the entire church.
The night provided some cover.
But there are so many people being hunted by the Church that it is only a matter of time before the witch hunters find their tracks.
Under a lush old tree.
Fantsin sat down panting, his expression extremely painful, and whispered, "I am almost dying. You go first. From here, go over the mountain and head south. Freya's priests will help you."
The hook-nosed man squatting beside him didn't say anything, but reached out to untie his bandaged wound and poured some light red powder on the wound, where there were scars left by crossbow arrows. Most of the demon hunters who died in this operation were shot to death by crossbow arrows. The Raven School was also equipped with heavy armor, and Fantsin was a little luckier and didn't have his lungs pierced by a crossbow arrow.
"Don't talk nonsense." The sturdy man with a wolf head emblem on his back carried Fantsin on his back and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the valley over there."
"We have to teach them a lesson."
The barking of hunting dogs could be heard in the distance; some of the witch hunters were about to catch up.
Probably more than ten minutes later.
Two teams of witch hunters appeared nearby. They looked at the footprints on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Two people were seriously injured. They went over there."
“Chase after him!”
More than twenty witch hunters advanced quickly, with a large area of fire behind them. The knights of the church abandoned their horses and chose to advance on foot, and were almost catching up.
A small valley appeared before our eyes.
The witch hunters looked at the messy footprints on the ground and said excitedly, "They are right in front of us. They want to go up the mountain!"
The Church of Eternal Fire offered an extremely high bounty.
In addition to these witch hunters today, there are also some bounty hunters tracking Fantsin and his group, but their news is slower, so they can only find ways to take a detour and block their retreat.
Click.
At this moment, the crisp sound of a glass bottle breaking was suddenly heard.
In a moment!
A layer of oppressive frost emerged on the ground, and the frost spread rapidly, covering all the witch hunters in the blink of an eye. They froze in place and turned into human-shaped ice sculptures in the blink of an eye.
Click, click.
Continuous shattering sounds were heard, and the twenty or so witch hunters were like shattered ice sculptures, turning into pieces of frozen flesh and blood.
"Where did you get it? It's so powerful!" whispered the demon hunter from the Griffin School.
The old venomous snake took a breath and said with difficulty: "This is the little fortune left by the Viper School. This is the last bottle."
"Be careful!" "Someone is catching up with us again."
Outside the valley, more than a dozen hunting dogs stopped and whimpered, refusing to move forward no matter how they were driven away.
They seem to be afraid of something!
The witch hunters looked at each other, drew their weapons and rushed forward. After seeing everything clearly in front of them, many of them couldn't help but gasp, because all they saw before them were pieces of blood and flesh, all frozen into ice chips. They didn't see a single living person, not even a complete human figure.
"Watch out! They're nearby."
A witch hunter who looked like a leader said, "Go and notify those church knights to come over! These people are a bit tricky!"
"They're here!" a shout came.
Then there was the sound of swords being drawn, and some witch hunters were loading their bows and crossbows. There were also shouts not far away, and the knights of the church were quickly coming.
"Prepare for battle."
The sturdy man wearing the wolf head emblem lowered his head and kissed his sword. His eyes gradually became firm and he said in a deep voice: "I am glad to fight alongside you!"
After saying that, he took the lead and headed towards the witch hunters.
A bloody and brutal battle broke out instantly on a small path up the mountain. The demon hunters chose a very clever position and could use the rocks to avoid being shot. However, their numbers were still too small, and they were at a clear disadvantage when facing enemies that outnumbered them by several times. In the distance, the knights of the church were approaching.
Cough cough.
Lev swung his two-handed sword and cut off the head of the witch hunter in front of him, then coughed up a trace of blood. He reached out and pulled out the crossbow arrow in front of his chest. This giant who looked like a brown bear was hit by at least seven or eight arrows. If it weren't for the amazing physical endurance of the Bear School and the sturdy armor he was wearing, he would probably have fallen down by now.
"No need to leave anybody alive!" A cold male voice came from afar.
During the brief fight, the witch hunters suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the demon hunters were also injured. If they were not experienced in combat, some of them would have fallen long ago.
As these words fell, the witch hunters in the front began to retreat, and some of them took out strange bottles and jars.
"Be careful! It's alchemical kerosene!" the old viper shouted.
Rumble.
The Wolf School Demon Hunter who was blocking the intersection was instantly engulfed by the explosion of flames. Lev's brown bear-like figure was also blown away, lying on the ground and spitting out streams of blood. The alchemical kerosene produced by the Church of Eternal Fire is very powerful, far more powerful than that produced by the Demon Hunter.
Witch hunters and church knights surged forward again.
The surviving demon hunter gritted his teeth and climbed up, facing the enemy with weapons in hand, ready for the final battle.
But at this moment.
Bang!
Suddenly, a dull gunshot was heard, and the next second the church knight who was giving orders seemed to explode into pieces.
A pool of blood and body parts was scattered everywhere.
There were flashes of fire in the sky, accompanied by howling winds, and fireballs fell from the sky!
