After enjoying the brief reunion, everyone quickly composed themselves and began to prepare for the upcoming Wild Hunt. Although Ciri did not know when the Wild Hunt would appear, she was sure that the Wild Hunt must have sensed the fluctuation of her teleportation just now, and it wouldn't be long before the Wild Hunt showed up.
In that case, they naturally would not waste any more time. The weapons brought by Ciri had greatly increased their combat power, so they decided to stay in the castle and fight the Wild Hunt head-on!
But … Yennefer still felt a little uneasy.
"All our plans are based on the premise that the man named Fangzheng will really show up. What if he doesn't show up?"
Yennefer immediately raised this sharp question as soon as the meeting began. Everyone immediately turned to look at Ciri and Geralt.
Facing everyone's gaze, Geralt was the first to shake his head.
"Whether he comes or not, we have to protect Ciri. She doesn't want to continue hiding."
"Mr. Fangzheng will definitely come."
Ciri appeared to be very confident. At the same time, she explained.
"In fact, the reason why Mr. Fangzheng didn't come is because Miss Tita …. The people of that world are a little slow …."
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Fangzheng has given his students a task. If they complete the task, Mr. Fangzheng will allow them to come to this world. If they don't complete it in time, Mr. Fangzheng won't allow them to come …. The time limit is set to be before the Wild Hunt appears."
"Are you kidding me?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded. They were discussing a battle plan of great importance here, but that world was only used as a task?
"Ah, don't worry. Even if the task isn't completed, Mr. Fangzheng will come to help us."
"But what can he do alone?"
At this time, another Demon Hunter voiced his doubts.
"No matter how powerful he is, he's only one person. Is he a warlock? But even so, can he resist the attack of the Wild Hunt alone? "
"Uh …."
Faced with this question, Ciri hesitated for a moment. In the end, she made up her mind and said softly to everyone.
"Actually … Mr. Fangzheng didn't come here to stop the Wild Hunters. He came here to wipe out the Wild Hunters …"
"…"
Upon hearing Hiri's reply, everyone was momentarily stunned. It was Yennefer who broke the awkward silence with a frown.
"What do you mean by destroying the Wild Hunters?"
"I don't really understand, but after I told him about the situation of the Wild Hunter, Mr. Fangzheng told me that the Wild Hunter's act of travelling to other worlds at will and destroying the local civilization is against their rules and laws, so according to the rules, he must completely destroy the Wild Hunter and their world. That's why he came here with me …."
"…"
Hearing this, everyone felt that it was extremely absurd, and an indescribable feeling welled up in their hearts.
"Ha, hahaha … You must be joking …"
The other Demon Hunter couldn't help but laugh.
"He can't possibly think that he can destroy a world by himself, can he?"
"… Well, that's what Mr. Fangzheng said. He also said that he would keep an eye on this world. If the humans of our world also do something like the Wild Hunter, he won't show any mercy."
"Haha! What a big mouth. Who does he think he is? Is he a god? "
It would have been better if Hiri hadn't explained. Her explanation only made things even more chaotic. Hiri seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right, so she hurriedly shook her head.
"I don't know, but I can tell you that in Novigrad, it was Mr. Fangzheng who single-handedly wiped out the Temple Guards and the Witch Hunters. He then killed his way to the Temple Island and wiped out all the higher-ups of the Church of Eternal Fire …. During this period, I just watched from the back. I didn't do anything at all."
"… Can you tell me what kind of spell he used and what incantation he chanted?"
Hearing this, Yennefer's eyes suddenly became serious, but Hiri shook her head.
"He didn't do anything. In fact, Mr. Fangzheng just stood there. He didn't chant any incantations, nor did he draw any patterns. He just walked forward casually, and all the enemies who dared to stand in his way were automatically set on fire and died. "
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Vesemir was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and looked at Yennefer.
"Is this a spell of a Warlock?"
"Are you kidding me? If we Warlocks had this kind of ability, we wouldn't be chased by the Witch Hunters."
Yennefer shook her head.
"No gestures, no spells, nothing at all. This is probably something that only appears in myths and legends. No matter how powerful we Warlocks are, we can't do this kind of thing."
"Well, there's no point in talking about this now."
Seeing that the topic of the meeting was getting sidetracked, Geralt decisively interrupted the conversation.
"I've met that man once, and I can't tell how strong he is. But regardless of whether he comes or not, we will not hand Hiri over to the Wild Hunter. Am I right?"
As Geralt spoke, he glanced at the people around him, and they all nodded in agreement. Almost all of them had raised Hiri when she was young, and to them, Hiri was like their granddaughter, daughter, or sister. Regardless of whether the mysterious man appeared or not, they would not hand Hiri over to the Wild Hunter.
"Whoosh …"
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the window outside the castle. At the same time, the temperature of the entire castle seemed to gradually drop. Hiri, on the other hand, shuddered and stood up, staring out the window.
"Oh no, the Wild Hunter is coming!"
"Everyone, get ready to move!"
Fortunately, although the meeting had gone off topic, there were only a few people in the castle, so it was easy to assign tasks. Geralt immediately gave the order.
"Yennefer, activate the barrier to prevent the Wild Hunter from teleporting directly into the castle. The rest of you, get on the wall and get ready for battle. Those weapons should be very useful against the Wild Hunter!"
That's right, the order was that simple. After all, this was a battle to defend the castle, not a guerrilla war. Besides, there were less than ten people here, and each of them was a seasoned veteran. There was no need to teach them step by step. They all knew what to do!
Soon, everyone rushed out of the castle and began to prepare for battle. Yennefer came to the platform on the second floor of the castle, raised two iron rods in front of her, and stabbed them into the ground. Then, she spread her hands and chanted a spell. Soon, a translucent circular barrier appeared beside Yennefer. She waved her hands, and the barrier instantly expanded to cover the entire castle of Kaer Morhen.
This invisible barrier not only blocked the Wild Hunter's teleportation, but it also blocked the piercing icy blizzard. The others also came to the wall and picked up various firearms placed there. After Hiri taught them how to use these weapons, the demon hunters had also learned how to use them to destroy the enemy.
The whistling blizzard grew stronger. At the same time, a portal of light appeared in the forest outside the castle. Then, the Wild Hunter warriors in black armour and wielding greatswords strode out of the portal with their hounds. They looked at the castle in front of them with sinister smiles on their faces. In their opinion, this was just the dying struggle of these humans. As long as their army advanced …
At the same time, Geralt clenched the heavy machine gun in his hand and roared.
"Attack!"
Before his voice trailed off, the muzzle of the heavy machine gun in Geralt's hand suddenly sprayed a dazzling flash.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Loud and heavy gunshots rang out. A barrage of bullets shot out from the wall like a storm, sweeping towards the Wild Hunter's army.
The poor Wild Hunter warriors had never seen anything like this before. They were instantly dumbfounded. Their hard armour could not withstand the firepower that could penetrate an armoured vehicle. Caught off guard, they were instantly cut down like wheat.
"Hey! This thing's really strong! "
Another demon hunter, who was holding a heavy machine gun in his hand, whistled excitedly when he saw this scene. Although the demon hunters had already sensed that the otherworld weapon brought by Hiri was very powerful during their training, they only found out that it was even more powerful than they had imagined when they actually used it!
In order to guard against the enemy's arrows, the Wild Hunter and the others had to create a safe distance in the forest before they teleported. They did not expect that the distance that the arrows could not reach was a piece of cake for the heavy machine gun. Unlike the arrows that needed to be drawn, the heavy machine gun's fire was almost non-stop, so the Wild Hunters could not take the opportunity to advance.
But the Wild Hunters were the Wild Hunters after all. Although they were caught off guard and suffered a big loss at the beginning, they immediately changed their tactics and began to disperse. After all, no matter how fierce the enemy's firepower was, there were less than ten of them. If they surrounded them from all directions, they could not possibly cover all of them, could they?
The trick worked. Although Geralt and the others had wiped out most of the enemies, some of the Wild Hunters still managed to evade the attack. They arrived at the bottom of the wall, then directly teleported to the top of the wall to engage in close combat with Geralt and the others.
Faced with the Wild Hunters' attack, Geralt and the others could not hold on any longer. Who asked the Wild Hunters to teleport? It would have been fine if they did not know how to teleport. Geralt and the others could rely on these heavy weapons to defend the city gate for as long as they could. Unfortunately, the Wild Hunters could teleport. When a Wild Hunter suddenly teleported to your side and slashed at you with a sword, then you could only choose between being killed by the Wild Hunter and giving up your weapon.
Under the Wild Hunters' relentless assault, it only took a few minutes for the first line of defense to be completely breached. They had no choice but to move to the second line of defense. At the same time, Yennefer's barrier began to weaken. The cold wind howled again, and not only that, the air in the distance also began to tremble. Then, a black warship that seemed to be made of steel appeared out of thin air. They raised their black sails and sailed across the sky, approaching Kaer Morhen. Obviously, the firepower that Geralt and the others had displayed had made the Wild Hunters more cautious.
"We can't hold on for much longer!!"
At that moment, in front of the gate of the second floor of Kaer Morhen, Geralt and the others were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Wild Hunters. After Yennefer's barrier weakened, more and more Wild Hunters directly teleported in and launched a fierce attack on Geralt and the others.
"Ciri! Think of a way! When is that Fangzheng coming? Don't you have any contact with him? "
Vesemir shouted as he waved the weapon in his hand. Ciri gritted her teeth and stood beside him to fend off the Wild Hunters.
"I believe that Mr. Fangzheng will not go back on his word. He will definitely …"
"Rumble!!!"
However, before Ciri's voice trailed off, suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted, interrupting her words. Ciri looked up, and then her eyes lit up.
"They're here!!!"
