Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 622
"Well, I don't want to spoil the fun, but..."

Dandelion's face looked ugly next to him, but he still reminded him.

"Half of his ribs were broken. Your demon hunters' potions can't be used on him."

"That's right, so I won't use the witcher's potion to save him and you will save him."

Lan En handed Stewart, who was supporting him, to Ged.

Gede took over and asked doubtfully: "Leave it to us?"

After asking, he immediately reacted and his face turned ugly.

"You want us to leave? After everything we've been through together?"

"Indeed." Lan En seemed not to notice their obviously bad expressions. "Look at this plume of smoke, everyone."

This crater, which buries an entire Nilfgaardian division alive, is like a big furnace.

Fires ignited in the dry vegetation, and a huge plume of smoke at least a kilometer wide was rising into the sky.

"There is a lot of movement. The Nilfgaardians also recently won a battle nearby and have sufficient troops. They will definitely come here to investigate."

"Are you afraid of them?" Xili's voice was like saying, 'A man who just killed a brown bear is afraid of dogs.'

"I'm not afraid, but it's not over yet."

Lan En looked down at the stubborn little girl.

"Hakthor's relics, that war record, need to be sent to the north. Although nothing here can be faked, in the final analysis, as long as the evidence is in Nilfgaard's control area, that is what they say. "

Lan En reached out and pointed towards the crater behind him.

Even if there is such a huge amount of 'evidence', it is actually not difficult to eliminate it.

"And I got some information from Duke Adal, the man who mobilized this division-level force."

"Their main target to capture is actually, besides the demon hunter, a little girl with mouse-gray hair."

Geralt's cat eyes suddenly widened, and his mood swings were well concealed by his dead face.

In a panic, he realized that Lan En had been looking into his eyes, and there was obviously something behind his words.

"Although Adal is the Duke of the Empire, he doesn't know the identity of the so-called 'little girl with mouse gray hair'. The only information he can get is her appearance."

"It seems." Geralt tried his best to keep his face calm, but the slight twitching of the corners of his mouth would still reveal his mood.

"It seems like the big shot who made the request doesn't really want people to know who he's looking for?"

"Not some 'big shot', just the Emperor of Nilfgaard."

Lan En said the name of the most powerful person in the world lightly.

"The Darcy family is already a well-known noble in Nilfgaardry. Only Emhyr Emres, the emperor's order, is qualified to attract his attention. Let him mobilize such a division-level army."

Geralt pursed his lips, and then said: "It's time for us to go, Ciri."

"What?" The little girl turned back and looked at her guardian in disbelief. "You let me go? Now that this has happened? I am..."

Before Ciri could finish her words, Geralt and Lan put their hands on her body at the same time to stop her from revealing her identity.

Although Haxo said goodbye to Ciri in his letter.

But Lan En checked the letter, and there was no sign of it being opened, and they didn't read it aloud when they read it.

So for many people, Ciri is still just a lucky little girl who was picked up by a demon hunter during the war. "Although I don't know why the Nilfgaardian Emperor's order is so vague, I think it may not do any good to talk about the matter rashly. If identity is a kind of bargaining chip, then it should always be done when the cards are drawn. Open again."

With Lan En's persuasion and Geralt's persistence, Ciri finally compromised in a low mood.

The group of people left this extraordinary crater together and moved quickly.

Not long after they left, the sound of many horse hooves trampling on the ground was heard in the distance.

Heavy armor, horse armor, and standard horseshoe steel were ravaging the ground.

Finally, three ten-man Nilfgaardian cavalry squads stopped outside the crater.

After just experiencing the battle with the northern country's army, the reconnaissance teams in this area of ​​​​the Nilfgaardian army were obviously of a higher standard than other places.

After getting closer, the leader of the cavalry squad slowed down his horse and drove his horse with a brisk walk that was easy for observation and relaxation.The team members behind him also used this as a baseline speed and began to observe their surroundings.

They were reconnaissance troops temporarily sent from nearby barracks to check the situation.

From the assignment of the task, to the temporary gathering, equipment preparation, departure, and arrival, it only took more than an hour in total.

This is normal for a cavalry squad resting in a military camp.

The expressions of the group of people were very relaxed until this moment.

After all, wildfires are not uncommon in dry winters.

And recently, the only northern barbarians who could threaten the Legion were defeated, or rather massacred, by them.Nowadays, it would be difficult to find anything that could threaten them on this land.

The reason why the military camp asked them to come out to take a look was largely because the smoke column was too big and conspicuous.

Many sergeants who were resting in the military camp saw it, as well as the wounded who were recovering from injuries.

The wounded were people who had saved their lives from the cruel battlefield. Their nerves were sensitive and fragile, and they often yelled for no reason.

The officers in the military camp were worried that this conspicuous and huge smoke column would irritate the sergeants, causing a noise, or even an accident of greater scale and severity.

They, the cavalry squad, just need to come over to find out the reason, and give it to the superiors with a reasonable explanation that will not cause fear in the group.

The cavalry squad came from the side of the crater, so they had not yet seen the only entrance and exit to the hill.

"Record: There is a massive wildfire in the NO.13 mountain area. Damn it, it feels so hot outside!"

The leader of the cavalry squad shouted behind him without looking back. A special recorder would record the results of this reconnaissance operation in accordance with regulations.

"Originally, I thought it was a bit wrong to be able to burn such a large pillar in one hour. But the mountainous terrain of No. 13 is no different from a natural furnace."

"There is no doubt about the burning effect." The clerk behind the team leader wrote and read it out for the commander to confirm.

"Next, we still need to determine the cause of the fire, whether nearby troops are involved, and whether there is any risk of the fire spreading."

"Come one by one."

The leader said casually, and the old war horse also followed his mood and walked at a not hurried pace.

But as he walked a short distance outside the crater, the secretary behind the leader suddenly noticed that the chief's body seemed... a little stiff?

After taking a few steps forward, the scene seen by the commander also appeared in the eyes of the following cavalry.

In the thick smoke that towered into the sky, the blocked gap in the crater was clearly visible!
