PS: I was thinking that since the wind is blowing, I should add an update to express my gratitude. So, I tried my best to write an update. There are a lot of things going on at the end of the semester. I hope everyone can understand.
Amidst the snow-covered Rickwood Forest, Demon Hunter Eiber was sprinting as fast as he could. He breathed in the cold air of the forest, his thick cloak unable to hide the chill that seeped through his body.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Abel followed Ryan's instructions. He relied on the protection spell that Veronica cast on him, and the Demon Hunter successfully completed his mission.
Veronica cast two Light Enhancement Charms on Abel.
"Fey's Light of Protection" allowed Abar's aura to be concealed by Mana. At the same time, it increased his resistance to the Orcs' long-range attacks and the Shaman's curses.
'Byronne's Temporal Distortion' increased the Demon Hunter's speed and agility by 40%, making them extremely agile.
Veronica's magic ability had been greatly improved after Tegris' guidance. Her support spells could last for a long time, and Eiber was sure that he wouldn't have been able to retreat so easily if it weren't for the support spells of the Light and Fire Witches.
That's right, there's also that ice sorceress' spell. Abel laughed in his heart. Teresa had also cast an ice barrier spell on him. It was a passive spell that would help Abel block a powerful attack and protect him for ten seconds.
It was great to have the help of a wizard. The Demon Hunter's face didn't change much, but his heart was filled with envy.
To a certain extent, it was because of Abell's persistence that he could not afford to eat. As a Legendary powerhouse, if he was willing to put down his pride, he would not be so poor that he could not even afford to eat.
What happened to Eiber represented the demise of the Demon Hunter School that he was the leader of.
Before the great Holy War, demon hunters were actually a relatively free profession. How the demon hunters came into being and developed was already mentioned in the previous article, so it will not be repeated here.
The difference was after the Great Holy War. After the Great Holy War, Ludwig the Savior saw the role the demon hunters played in eliminating the Chaos cults and purifying the corruption of Chaos. He passed a resolution and was willing to join the Empire. As a subordinate of the Church of Justice, the demon hunters who served the Emperor would receive financial subsidies from the Empire and the protection of the Church. Of course, they would also have to hand over a portion of their income and accept management.
Eber's school of demon hunters was not interested in becoming the emperor's henchmen. They believed that it was their duty to eliminate the corruption of Chaos and the followers of Chaos. Once the palace and the church were involved, it would no longer be pure.
This group of Demon Hunters refused to join the Church of Justice. They decided to use their own methods to fight against Chaos and the undead.
As time went by, this group of demon hunters was gradually dying out. Led by people like Eber, who insisted on relying on commissions to support themselves and not relying on the power of the nobles and the church to fight against Chaos, the number of demon hunters had gradually dwindled, but there was still a considerable number of them.
However, this was Conviction, and Jacob's guidance had always been etched into Abel's mind.
Eber could vaguely feel the chaotic footsteps of the Orc tribe approaching him. The demon hunter crouched down and passed through a half-fallen dead tree. He slid along the snowy ground for a long distance before jumping down a small slope and continuing his run.
The sounds of the Orcs could be heard clearly in the forest.
When Eber found the Orc tribe, the group of Chaos was performing a mysterious ritual.
Eber, whose aura was concealed by the Light of Protection, shot the Orc shaman's head with his musket and fled.
The Orcs chased after him and swore to tear the Demon Hunter into pieces.
Eber exhaled heavily. He could feel that the enchantment on his body was losing its effect. His footsteps became slower, and his nimble body stiffened. He subconsciously reached into his pouch to retrieve some medicine, but he realized that he had used up all his medicine.
Once I'm done with this mission, I'll definitely go to Helmgard to buy more herbs, Abel decided.
They were nearing the location of the ambush.
It was a narrow hilly area.
On the hill, Laing was fully armed. He held Thor's Hammer and rode on Grapes as he said, "They're coming. I can hear the sounds."
"I can't wait." Rick's Royal Guard Rudolph raised his Lance. He was excited as he said, "Great, Rudolph Lichtenstein's great story will be written from today's ambush of the Orc tribe! Don't you agree? "
"Yes! Fight! Fight! " More than ten squires behind Rudolph all cheered loudly. These people were like hungry wolves waiting for military exploits!
To be promoted from squire to regular squires, they had to have military exploits. The Orc heads were military exploits!
Another Rick's Royal Guard, Wagner Schmidt, was more normal. He was expectant and hesitant. He looked like a normal recruit, but his equipment was different. He was the son of a Master Engineer and held a brand new Vanguard Rider Revolver in one hand and a Knight's Sword in the other.
That must be the Nur Munitions Factory's new weapon. Everyone thought so.
"The Demon Hunter is back. He seems to be injured." Sylvia, who was also fully armed, said to her young mistress, "Young Mistress, be careful."
Sulia, who was wearing an exquisite Vibranium plate armor, holding the Sword of Lyonassai in her hand, and the White Wolf God's cape on her shoulders, smiled without much reaction. The flames on the sword were burning fiercely. This was the power and blessing of the Lake Fairy.
The Village Chief and his Militia stood at the back. There were only 50 of them, but they weren't lacking in combat experience. When they saw the Orcs, their eyes turned red.
There was too much hatred. The Orc tribe charged into the village and plundered it. They ate the livestock and killed the adults. They attacked everything that moved in the village.
"Get ready!" Laing raised his War Hammer. On the other side of the hill, there was a large group of Orcs behind Eiber. There were about 300 to 400 of them.
The Holy Grail Knight Captain, Count Glamorgan, and the Lake Nymph looked at the two Witches.
Veronica held Cuntini's Magic Staff, and Garland nodded to indicate that she was ready.
Teresa started casting Mana as she said, "I'll create an Ice Wall to block the Orcs' retreat."
"Icy Cloak!" The first spell of the Sorceress was cast, all the cavalrymen, including the militiamen who came to help, were enchanted, and a frost cloak appeared on their bodies.
"Very good, let's set off!" Laing nodded.
"Advance!"
"Fight!"
"For the Lady!"
"For Emperor Charlemagne! For the Empire! For Karl-franz! "
With the loud sound of the bugle horn, Lionheart took the lead and charged towards the Orc tribe.
His wife, Suria, Rudolph, and Wagner charged down the hill. Though there were only 20 of them, their momentum was greater than that of an army.
Because the equipment of this group of people was simply too luxurious.
The Orc tribe noticed the Cavalrymen charging towards them. The Orc King was a huge Minotaur who wielded a battle axe and a round shield. The Minotaur gestured for the Orcs to prepare for battle.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah ~" Laing didn't give the Orcs a chance to get into formation. He bellowed angrily, and the Lake Nymph swung her Mace to the side. The five Horned Beasts at the front were sent flying.
"Flaming Storm!" Veronica summoned a ten-meter tall flaming whirlpool that engulfed half of the Orcs. The weak Orcs were burned into charcoal by the flaming whirlpool.
The Cavalrymen followed Laing and charged in. Suria's performance was the most shocking. Her body emitted a dazzling golden light, and any Orc that got close to her was burned to ashes. The Sword of Léonasse burned fiercely as it took the lives of the Orcs.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Laing swung his Mace and tore a few rows of Horned Beasts into pieces.
"Go to hell! Scum! " Rudolph wasn't merciful. His Lance pierced through the heads of two Orcs before breaking. He unsheathed his Knight's Sword and decapitated a Horned Beast. Red and black blood splattered all over his body, but the Duke's son shouted happily.
"Pom, pom, pom!" The Vanguard Riders fired their pistols. Wagner led his Knight servants to fire at the Orcs where the Orcs were putting up the most resistance.
The Minotaur was surprised to find that Laing was in front of him.
The ferocious Minotaur raised his shield and kept his Battle Axe behind his back. He was prepared to deal a heavy blow to the Grail Knight.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Laing was still howling. Grape was faster than the Minotaur had expected. The Orc King didn't have time to swing his Battle Axe before the Mace of the Thunder God came crashing down.
"Dong!" The shield shattered, and the Mace landed on the Minotaur's head. The Orc King's head exploded like a watermelon. His body swayed a few times before collapsing to the snowy ground.
The morale of the Orcs collapsed, and they started to flee.
Circle 6 Spell, Blizzard! Teresa released her prepared Mana. In the cold winter, her Mana surged like a fountain, and thousands of Icicles covered the Orcs' defense line.
"Ice Wall!" The Warlock released an Ice Wall to block the Orcs' escape route.
"Rouin Flaming Weapons!" Veronica released her Mana, and all the soldiers' weapons were covered in flames.
"Kill! Advance! " The high-spirited militia charged towards the Orc tribe under the lead of the squires and Knights.
Naughty Smile Village was victorious in this battle. None of the Orcs escaped, and the Cavalrymen charged into Rickwald Forest and captured all the young and old Orcs.
When the sun set, the eighty-man "army" finally returned to the Wicked Smile Village.
The injured Demon Hunter Eibert had a bandage on his back. He was hit by the Battle Axe of the Minotaur when he was escaping. Fortunately, Teresa's Mana protected him, so he wasn't seriously injured. When he saw Laing and his companions, the Demon Hunter stood up from the village's mud wall and said, "Splendid battle, Earl Eibert."
"It's all thanks to you, Mr. Eibert." Laing dismounted from his horse and carried his wife down from the horse. Then he said, "Without your bait, we wouldn't have won."
"That was a satisfying battle." Rudolph laughed heartily and said, "Village Chief, you should pay the Demon Hunter his commission."
The Wicked Smile Village Chief nodded and didn't retort. He leaned on his wooden staff and took out a small pouch. "Thank you, Demon Hunter. After this battle, we won't have to worry about the Orcs for at least five years."
"You're welcome. You should thank Earl Laing, Madam Suria, Lord Rudolph, and Lord Wagner." Eibert took the small pouch and weighed it. There were about 30 gold marks inside.
It was more than the promised 18 gold marks. Eibert thought that this sum of money would be enough for him to survive the winter in Helmgard. He could only accept the commission in March. The Demon Hunter accepted the commission with satisfaction.
They entered the village. The Village Chief trembled as he looked at Laing and his companions. He gritted his teeth and took out another small pouch. "Your Excellencies, the Wicked Smile Village thanks you for your protection. We … don't have anything to thank you for. This is a token of our gratitude. Please accept it."
Laing led his pure-blooded Elf warhorse, Grape. The Holy Grail Knight smiled and said, "Keep your gold marks, Village Chief. We don't lack money. I'm the champion of the Lady of the Lake. It's impossible in Brittany to hire me for the 50 gold marks in your pouch."
"I know your appearance fee is high, but the Wicked Smile Village swears that we'll repay your kindness!" The village chief said very seriously. "I swear in the name of Shariah." Shariah nodded her head.
"Hmm …" Laing felt embarrassed. He thought that if he didn't repay them, it would be a burden to the villagers. It would be a bad start.
It just so happened that the group passed by a chicken coop. Several roosters flew out of the chicken coop. Lionheart grabbed one of the roosters and said, "These chickens are flying outside in such cold weather. They're also drenched in snow. It's very likely that they'll catch a cold. We can't let them continue like this."
"Why don't we …"
“？？？” The village chief didn't understand at first, but when he saw Ryan's expression, he immediately understood what he meant. "Oh! I understand. That's right. You're right. We can't let them fall sick. "
"Hehehehe …"
