Chapter 5: Perseverance in the Castle (2)
A few hours later, as the frost arrived, a large number of wild hunts appeared around Kyle Mohan, this time in addition to the soldiers, there were also wild hunting hounds and mages, several wild hunting mages looked at the ancient castle in front of them and shouted, "Winter has come, come on, slaughter".
As several mages finished saying this, a large number of hounds and hunting soldiers rushed towards the castle along the frost.
In the rear of the Wild Hunt Legion, two Wild Hunts finally appeared, one with a bone sword and the other with a sledgehammer, undoubtedly Aridine and Elleris.
One of the two is the "Sparrowhawk", known to the unicorns as the King of the Wild Hunt.
The wizard also has an explanation for the Wild Hunt Legion and Arritin, the Wild Hunt is an elite cavalry unit from the ancient race, the world of Aine El, and Arettin passes through the secret passage, through the cold nothingness between the two worlds, and binds the victim back to his world as a slave from the world of the witcher.
For Ciri, he really wanted it, because the blood of the ancients could travel through the world.
In Nymph of the Lake, Aretin first meets Ciri on his way to Tyrnaria. Ciri seems to have a crush on him when they first meet, and Aretin uses this to begin his plan with Avarak. Later in the story, he accidentally poisoned Oberon Mukhitazi, King of Al Ayn, due to "negligence".
Together with Avalak, he created The Gate of the Worlds, a powerful ability to control time and space, allowing them to travel freely through time and space. They conquered their current world before losing this ability, killing a large number of humans who inhabited it, and reducing the rest to slavery. After losing this ability for unknown reasons, they did not give up their invasion of other worlds, but only in the form of ghosts.
When Ciri escapes from Aine Al's world, Aarettin and Ciri get into a fight on the ship, but accidentally fall into the water. Then Aretin and his knights began to hunt down Ciri, wanting to regain Ciri's ability to control time and space, which is why they attacked the castle, and getting Ciri is equivalent to gaining the passage again, and all their armies can come over.
And the other boss Elleris, as an officer who climbed up from the bottom in the wild hunt, can be said to have great ability, he has made great contributions to the hunting army, but his weakness is also fatal, that is, vanity, he desperately wants to the blood of the ancients, he stretched out his arms and took the sledgehammer on his back and slowly followed the hunting mage in front of him to the door.
On the castle, the witcher Viselmir spotted the anomaly and shouted, "Anti-magic bomb." ”
With the explosion of "boom", effectively killing a small number of Wild Hunter soldiers, but apparently did not affect the attack of the Wild Hunt Legion, Elleris stood in the rear, his mask was cold, and he shouted "Hand over Ciri, you can spare you from dying".
"Dream," Geralt scolded.
Geralt then says to Ciri, "We'll use invisibility magic to go out and detonate the poison and bombs outside."
Ciri nodded, her heart was still full of fear of the wild hunt, Illerius was her nightmare, she had dreamed of this monster countless times, in her dreams:
He rode on a skeletal horse, wielding a giant hammer like a siege machine, and the laughter under his spoon-shaped helmet made him feel like he was in a rotting tomb. The footprints of the horses were like phosphorus fires burning in the swamp.
He raised his whip and charged.
Ciri tried to fight back, but the sword struck the opponent's cold-soaked armor, making a sound that exceeded the limits of human hearing and caused her to cover her ears. A split second of distraction forced her to parry one of Elleres' attacks, two attacks......
There is no third time.
The sword was blown away by the wind like a broken branch under the crushing impact of the hammer. She was shrouded in the dark shadow cast by Illerys' massive body, and under his visor, he exhaled a cold breath that seemed to be the last swallow of a frozen dead man, and gradually condensed into mist before his eyes. ”
And every time she wakes up in this dream, Ciri shrinks into a ball of fear, and this time Ciri understands that he and she must face their fears.
When Geralt and the others were outside the portal, preparing to detonate the explosives, Arettin spotted them, a magic shrouded them, their invisibility failed, and he commanded the Wild Hunt army to surround them.
"Damn, it's been discovered, ready to fight", Geralt, Ciri drew his weapon, and Yennefer and Triss above found out that Geralt and the others were discovered, so they cast magic to try to stop the wild hunt, and on the other side, the demon hunters began to deal with some wild hunts that rushed in, and they couldn't rush over to help.
Ciri watched the Wild Hunt surround them, releasing the poison and bombs buried around them with a few "booms", and the surrounding Wild Hunt was blown to pieces, and taking advantage of this effort, Geralt and Ciri also ran to the castle, and waited until the explosion passed, and the reaction of Aretin let out a roar "I must tear you apart".
Originally, Ciri was going to detonate it when Wild Hunt rushed to the gate, so that it could have the best effect, but the situation at that time, coupled with the original fear, caused the plan to be realized not as well as expected.
Back in the castle, Geralt handed over Ciri to Viselmir, and he followed the rest of his brothers and rushed out of the gate to protect the castle, because as soon as the gate was broken, a large number of wild hunters would rush in, so it was better to take the initiative.
The remaining main mage trio also began to support the castle, facing the main two bosses, Geralt against Aretin, the same brother against Illeryth, Reso cleaned up the wild hunt near the castle, the mage was responsible for support, and the others were responsible for cleaning up the wild hunts and hounds that climbed up around, as well as a few wild hunting mages.
The trio struggled to face two fleshy bosses with freezing magic, and from time to time Hunting Soldiers joined the warband.
At this time, Yennefer suddenly shouted, "Geralt withdraws."
Geralt glanced back and understood what Yennefer meant, which meant "no magic, no support, evacuate first".
Geralt glanced at Arettin and shouted at the others.
At this time, watching the witchers retreat into the castle, Arrytin also understood that their opportunity had come, so he shouted "attack".
And at this time, there was a wave of teleportation, and the trio of Wang Mad, Jia Xu, and Mirror Master arrived.
