From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Following Lan's actions.

The experience bar, which was almost full by the witcher and his followers with the Skellige task, jumped down a little bit. Immediately afterwards, a new follower panel appeared in front of Lane's eyes.

Lann's brows raised involuntarily.

This Bill is really talented, which gave Lann quite a surprise. And he seems to have found part of the reason why he can attract mermaids.

It seemed that Mossack would like this guy very much. Apart from being the experimental living body of the Berserker, Bill might also be able to find his place in some other unexpected places.

But now, he can play some other role.

...

When Lann took his left hand away from Bill's forehead, Gerd suddenly felt that the strength of the giant bear whose throat was locked by him was much less.

In other words, it stopped struggling, and now it is just unconsciously twitching as a biological instinct.

Gerd thought he had finally suffocated the giant beast, but immediately he heard Lann's chuckle again.

"Ged, you can let it go."

Hearing Lann's prompt, the bear sent the demon hunter to look at the giant bear, and found that the wild eyes of the giant bear had become clear at some point.

It is not the turbidity that is about to suffocate, nor the bloodthirsty rage, but a sense of clarity with independent thinking, a sense of wisdom.

Whether this feeling appeared in the eyes of a beast or a berserker, it was very abnormal.

Out of trust in Lan, Gerd let go hesitantly.

After regaining his freedom, the giant bear slammed into him, and then began to spin uncomfortably in place, growling menacingly at the surrounding Skellige soldiers.

Gerd immediately became vigilant, ready to subdue the giant bear again at any time: Obviously Bill's sanity has not been fully recovered, and it seems to have only the most basic animal instincts just like its current appearance.

But the next behavior of Giant Bear Bill was beyond Ged's expectation——

The bewildered giant bear turned its head towards itself and the Skelligs, baring its teeth and exhaling, but its sideways and head and neck were moving closer to Lan.

Strictly speaking, it moved closer to the hand that Lan just pressed on its head - it seemed to be nostalgic for the feeling of being covered by the palm.

It has a fierce expression, baring its teeth and claws, as if it is ready to pounce on the people around it at any time; but only the small area close to Lann is quiet, kind and docile all over its body.

And with the movement of its body, the "vicious" and "docile" areas of the whole body are constantly adjusted, so that the "docile" area is always close to Lann—as if there is something irresistible to Lann The wonderful magic of compulsive calm.

Gerd was dumbfounded.

Lan smiled lightly, avoiding the giant bear's forehead with his left hand, and didn't really treat Bill like taming a giant beast—after all, he knew that the giant bear was actually a young man inside.

He issued a new order.

"Go." The lion-eyed demon hunter pointed his finger in the direction of the Vilkas, "Go and disperse them!"

...

The Vilkas caught the three major families by surprise by relying on a surprise attack; coupled with the large number of Skellige giant bears, they broke up the formation of the soldiers of the three major families, and this dragged the regular army into the melee.

And when the giant bears incarnated by the berserkers were pinned down or even eliminated by the demon hunters in a professional way, the Vilkas could only face the Skellige soldiers with more numbers and better equipment than themselves alone.

For a long time, the Vilka people have been famous all over the world for their fearlessness and unique berserker form.

But now it seems that all the giant bears that Skellige can find have been captured by the Vilka people in special ways, and then they transformed the young people in the kidnapped village. On the contrary, the Vilkas themselves have no berserkers.

As for the "fearless" fighting style... the soldiers of the three major families, who were already brave and pursued glory, and now injured the family lord, would only be more fearless than the Vilka people.

So the situation on the battlefield quickly reversed.

Under the protection of Gerd, East climbed to a high place and used the horn to command the soldiers of the three major families to counterattack; the demon hunters interspersed into the battlefield after finishing the giant bear, and used their skilled sword skills and magic seals to help break through the enemy's attack. Offensive; Lan turned into golden flashes and shuttled around every corner, each flash would save several soldiers and take away several enemies at the same time.

The Vilkas no longer have the ability to resist.

When the distraught Kratz arrived late with the Clayt family's support, all that was left was to clean the battlefield.

"Uncle! Lane!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Kratz shouted, "What happened? Where are you? Am I late?"

A golden flash appeared five steps ahead of Kratz's eyes, causing the guards around Kratz to raise their weapons as if in stress, and they didn't feel relieved until they saw Lann's figure that appeared next.

"You came at the right time." Lan explained the situation in front of him. "We were attacked by the Vilka people in a planned way. We will talk about the specific battle situation later..."

"Now the troops of the Drummond family and the Dimen family have suffered a devastating blow, and you need to send some people from your side to help the wounded."

Just as he was saying this, a burst of mournful howling interrupted the conversation between Lane and Kratz.

Soldiers surrounded the place where the sound came from, and East stood there with a heavy expression, beside Lugo, a madman full of anger and guilt.

And where everyone's eyes were focused, a female shield guard lay on Hogg Blackhand's body and wept.

Kratz looked at Hogg Blackhand in disbelief. This notorious pirate had lost his iconic black hand, and the wound had dried up to the point where he couldn't bleed.

Unsurprisingly, he had stopped breathing.

As the patriarch of the seven major families of Skellige, even if he usually does not deal with each other, Kratz will inevitably feel a little bit cold.

"This guy..." Kratz took off his helmet, "It's very annoying, but he is one of the strongest pirate leaders in the archipelago. I was not sure that I could beat him in the first battle. I didn't see it but now he is on land. He was attacked and killed by someone."

Lan was silent.

"The Dimen family is going to be in turmoil." Kratz pointed to the female shield guard who was crying on Hogg Blackhand's body and said softly to Lan, "That's Juta Ann Dimen, the son of Hogg Blackhand." Niece. Hogg no longer has a son, so this Juta is also one of the heirs, even the more advanced one."

Lane suddenly caught something different, because both Juta and Kratz have "Ann" in their surnames.

"Are you relatives? If we support her to become the patriarch of the Dimen family, will the Dimen family fall to our camp?"

Although Kratz marveled at the death of the warrior, as the head of the clan, he is also a qualified political figure. Perhaps when he pointed out Juta's identity, he meant to introduce her to Lan.

"At least it would be better for someone else to inherit the Dimen family. Juta's swordsmanship is outstanding, and she is obviously a woman, but on Faroe Island where the Dimen family is located, there is no man who can beat her in swordsmanship, so she was awarded the title." The Iron Maiden became Hogg's shield guard." Kratz thought, "It's just a pity that the lord she was protecting now died in front of her. This is an indelible shame."

"unless……"

"I want to avenge my uncle!" Juta Ann Diemen, nicknamed the Iron Lady, suddenly shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention, including Lane and Kratz.

Her whole body was lying on Hogg Blackhand's body, and she was exhausted from crying at this moment. But she still tried her best to search for East's position, and after turning her direction, she turned into a posture of throwing herself on the ground.

"I want to destroy the real gathering place of the Vilka people, kill all their remnants, destroy the statue of the evil god, and use the bones of the enemy to erect a tombstone for my uncle!"

"I now know that the place we went before is not the stronghold of the Vilka people. We were all deceived by the cunning enemy. You will definitely find the real hiding place of the enemy. Please take me with you!"

Juta Ann Dimen is the niece of the patriarch, the personal guard, and the iron lady of the Faroe Islands who is unparalleled in swordsmanship. She has a lot of prestige in the army. As soon as she made a statement at this moment, the remaining soldiers of the Dimen family also knelt down to Easter:

"Please take us with you, we want to avenge the lord!"

Easter looked at them intently, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

At this time, he had also seen Kratz who came to support him.

After thinking about it for three breaths, East said:

"Hogg Blackhand was a worthy warrior, and his death was honorable. I will avenge him and bring the blood of the enemy to his grave with the sword in my hand."

"As for you, soldiers of the Dimen family, you failed to protect your lord."

When Easter said these words, Juta and the soldiers behind her could be seen trembling.

"So in the next battle, you must use your own blood to defend your own glory. I believe that the blood of the enemy brought by the soldiers of your own family is what makes Hogg's grave drink the most."

Juta trembled more violently: "In the name of our ancestors, we will obey your command, and we only ask you to give us a chance to cut off the enemy's head!"

East sighed deeply, helped Juta up with a heavy face, and ordered the soldiers behind her to join the ranks of the Tursek family.

After doing all this, he looked at the lunatic Lugo who had been silent all the time: "What about you?"

Lugo's state at the moment is not good, he suffered a lot of injuries.

Perhaps because of the shame of being tricked, he had been at the forefront in the previous battles, and he didn't even have a chance to let his personal guards protect him.

"I won't go." Lu Ge said after being silent for a while.

"The task of destroying the Svalblo sect and killing the Vilkas is entrusted to you, East."

Crazy Lugo's face was gloomy. After saying this, he fixedly looked at East for two seconds.

Finally, he lowered his head: "Please avenge Hogg."

East pressed Lugo's shoulder and promised, "I will."

...

With the support of Kratz, the progress of cleaning the battlefield is much faster.

The Drummond family wanted to escort their injured lord down the mountain and withdraw from the subsequent battle; while the Dimen family excluded the wounded and the soldiers who escorted the wounded, there were only a few dozen people who could participate in the battle, led by Juta, following in East behind.

Thanks to Ged's timely help and East's calm leadership, the Tursek family suffered little loss. Combined with the reinforcements brought by Kratz, the fighting power even surpassed that of the previous coalition of the three families.

This is the current situation on Skellige's side.

As for the Svalblo sect, the Vilkas didn't even catch a single one alive. These barbaric tribes who advocated fighting all died in the previous fights. The Skellige soldiers didn't feel scary when they were fighting. Now that they calmed down and thought of the crazy posture of the Vilka people, they even felt a little creepy.

And those berserkers who were transformed into giant bears by the Svalblo sect miraculously survived three, but they were all seriously injured. After the battle, they gradually returned to their human form in a coma.

The soldiers of the three families looked at them with flickering eyes: Although these are compatriots, they are residents of Great Skellige who were kidnapped; but they really killed a large number of their own robes just now, Indirectly or directly caused huge casualties to the troops.

Some people even chanted slogans like "Maybe they joined the cult a long time ago, just pretending to be their own people" and wanted to execute these new berserkers on the spot.

But in the end, no one acted rashly. Instead, they all looked at East, waiting for his attitude.

East looked at Bill thoughtfully—the young man turned back into a human form after the battle, and was still conscious, but his current state was completely exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

...

Is it a good thing to execute all the berserkers?

At least not a bad thing.

No matter from the current mood of the soldiers, or from the overall concept of the Skellige, it is no problem to kill these berserkers—even if these berserkers were just innocent villagers a few days ago, and In the battle just now, it may not be out of intention.

The archipelago has a policy of "rather killing a thousand by mistake than letting one go" towards the Svalblo sect.

But East thought about it, and finally ordered his men to tie up these berserkers and keep them under strict supervision. For this reason, Kratz even asked some of the Kleite family guards to go down the mountain with them and hold them.

He did this for two reasons:

For one thing, all the Vilka people just now died, and there was not even one left who could ask questions and lead the way. Therefore, it is necessary to let Bill, who knows the route to the enemy, stay.

The second—it was still because of Bill, but it was because East could see that Lan wanted to keep Bill.

East is still accommodating to Lann.

And since Bill stayed, the other berserkers could only stay together. But Bill wanted to stay and lead the way, and the other berserkers were brought back to be imprisoned to prevent them from transforming uncontrollably again until they found a way to control them.

In addition, during these days, East has also been influenced by Lane - he has also begun to have some ideas about these wonderful and powerful special combat units.

The Skelligs fear the Svalblos because of their brutality, and their strength to match their brutality. But what if these mighty berserkers stopped being brutal and became their own? So what?

This time, these big Skellige youths who were kidnapped and forcibly transformed into berserkers seemed to be an opportunity for East, a chance for Skellige to have an extra powerful force.

Especially considering that he will have to deal with Nilfgaard and avenge Calanthe in the future, East now has a kind of crazy pursuit for the improvement of strength-this can be seen from his idea of ​​​​conquering the ice giant before. up.

But if you want to keep all these berserkers, then it is necessary for East to have a strong prestige to suppress trivial voices.

In other words, it's the same old question - Easter is going to be King of Skellige. At the same time, this operation must also completely wipe out the Svalblo Sect to prevent future troubles.

Otherwise, even if these people are brought back, the follow-up can only be to arrange a grand execution ceremony to appease the public anger...

...

Watching the soldiers start to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner, Lan walked to Bill's side.

Gerd was standing beside this reckless young man, looking at him collapsed on the ground in amazement.

Bill was like a puddle of mud, motionless.

But his condition doesn't look like he's out of strength. The process of obtaining the system template had the effect of recovering all the status like Lann's upgrade, and although Bill charged through the crowd for a while in the form of a giant bear, it didn't last long, and he shouldn't be exhausted.

Lan En took a closer look, and found that what this young man is presenting now is more like a kind of... the collapse of the sky, the despair of all life being disillusioned.

The whole person exuded a dead air.

Lan frowned: "Look up."

This time there was no need to hypnotize with the French seal, and Bill almost obeyed Lane's orders.

This face has returned to a ruddy and healthy look, and it no longer feels weak as if it had been swallowed with anesthetic powder, and it also shows the charm that can attract mermaids. Although he was still far behind Lan En, if he tidied up a little bit, Lan En even felt that he could throw this guy to Arethusa and Ace as companions.

"I also need you to lead the way to the Svalblo sect's hideout. I need to know if you can complete this task-so tell me, what makes you a puddle of mud now."

Bill looked at the pair of dark golden lion eyes, awed by the power within them, couldn't help lowering his head again.

He said painfully: "I was influenced by the Vilka people. They fed me hallucinogenic mushrooms and fed me herbs, which made me delirious and confused, so I forgot a lot of things. "

"I forgot that I was torn apart and swallowed by the giant bear together with those people who were thrown into the giant bear's lair. It's just that I woke up very early, so I regained consciousness and escaped before the Vilkas came. Come out and return to the village in a daze."

"I, I have a talent. As long as I fall into a coma, I always wake up quickly, and the mermaid song that can confuse people's hearts in poetry doesn't affect me at all. That's why I have the opportunity to get along with Shyvana."

"I love her, and she loves me."

Shyvana, Lan knew, was the name of the merman.

"But, but..."

When he said this, Bill finally couldn't hold it anymore, and collapsed on the ground holding his head again.

"I killed Shyvana..."

"I turned into a giant bear and tore her apart..."
