An eerie singing voice sounded in Fraser's mind, followed by a feeling of weakness that spread throughout his body, and his brain and body quickly reacted subconsciously. A spell was pronounced softly, and at the same time the sword was drawn out of its sheath, clenched tightly in his right hand, and just put on a fighting stance, the spell also took effect in time, and the song was excluded from his brain, and only a faint whisper could be heard, but it could not affect him in any way.

The witcher didn't know how to do it, and he didn't seem to be affected by the song at all. But the mercenaries of the Gale Regiment were not so lucky, except for Eilish and two or three mercenaries with strong willpower, who were half-kneeling and fighting with the song, the other mercenaries were already completely kneeling to the ground, and their hands were supporting their bodies with all their strength to prevent them from falling. Elish shouted hoarsely at the mercenaries beside him. "Terrell, drum up, quick!"

As soon as he heard the song, Terrell had already put the drum on his back in front of him, but until now he couldn't swing the drum hammer in his hand to hit it even once. Erish's roar made the singing affect him a little, and he was finally able to strike the first hammer. The drums sounded, and the penetrating thump gradually reduced the mercenary's weakness, and each drum beat made the mercenary's strength recover a little.

"Attention, they're coming!" Amos shouted, as he quickly drew one of the two swords on his back, the body slender but dull, even a little gray. Yulania's short crossbow was also in her hands, firmly facing forward.

A hundred yards ahead, more than a dozen water ghosts rushed towards the crowd waving their clawed hands, and almost at the same time, more than a dozen water ghosts emerged from the swamp on the left and right sides of the group. Skinny, blue water ghosts attack from three directions.

Jurania's two crossbow arrows were the first to fire, accurately hitting the two water ghosts that were rushing at the front, and at the same time as the water ghosts fell, Amos had already quickly passed them, raising his long sword with both hands and rushing towards the remaining water ghosts. The water spirits are very agile and numerically superior, so Amos can only carefully dodge their attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

The water ghosts on the right flank face each other with the mercenaries of the Gale Force, and under the orders of Elish, the well-trained mercenaries set up a defensive formation around Terrell to ensure that the water spirits could not attack Terrell, so that they could not be affected by the strange singing and could fight the water ghosts. The two sides attacked and defended each other, and the shouts of mercenaries and water ghosts came and went.

Fraser was on everyone's left flank, and of course he took on the task of defending the left flank. The Demon Swordsman walked with a flexible step, calmly wielding the sword in his right hand, and his left hand released a shock wave from time to time, repelling the water ghosts that rushed in front of him, and winning space for himself to maneuver with one more enemy.

Each of Julania's short crossbows can shoot three crossbow arrows in a row, and I saw her shuttle between Amos and the water ghosts like a shadow, and she can always appear in time when Amos is about to be surrounded by water ghosts and use crossbow arrows to relieve her companions. Then Jurania ran towards the mercenaries and quickly loaded the short crossbow with arrows, and two more crossbow arrows were fired, and with a scream that pierced the air, it hit the side of the head of the water ghost who was attacking the mercenary, and the crossbow arrow pierced from the other side, and the water ghost fell in response. Amos turned and ran to the other side, changing his mind when he hadn't taken a few steps to see the battle between Fraser and the water ghosts, and instead went to help the mercenaries who were in a difficult battle.

With the assistance of the two demon hunters, the mercenaries finally eliminated all the water ghosts on the right flank, and before they could breathe a sigh, they felt a scorching breath coming from behind them, followed by a violent explosion and a violent wave of qi that almost knocked them down. The mercenaries staggered a few steps and turned to look, only to see Fraser's back standing among the corpses of a dozen water ghosts, still holding a sword in his right hand, and slowly closing his left hand, the few water ghosts closest to him had been scorched, and their charred skin was still smoking. Even the singing that had been lingering in the air disappeared in the explosion.

"It's! magic!" Yurania cried out in surprise.

"That's right, magic ......" Amos gripped the silver sword and walked slowly towards Frazier.

Fraser shrugged helplessly as he walked over to the crowd as he wiped his sword. "Now you know why I dared to come alone. ”

Erish was a mercenary after all, not as cautious as the witcher, and before Amos could catch him, he had already run to Fraser's side. "Good boy, you can't be the rumored magic swordsman, I thought it was just people making it up!

Fraser smiled. "As I said earlier, if you don't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, okay, go and see your companions, I hope no one dies in battle. ”

Alerted by Fraser's remind, Elish reacted and immediately strode back to his companion to check. Amos and Jurania slowly walked up to Frazier, their weapons still in their hands, and Amos's tone was full of vigilance. "Demon Swordsman, what are you here for?"

Fraser finished wiping his sword and tossed the linen aside. "Just like you. ”

"Do you know what we're here for?" Yurania looked at him in disbelief.

Fraser put away his sword and whispered to the two witchers with his eyes to the emir beside him, and then turned to the emir regardless of whether the witcher understood him or not. "You're lucky to be standing among us without getting hurt. ”

The witcher noticed that the emir who had followed them was still standing very calmly, and the fierce battle just now didn't seem to bring him any change in mood at all, and Amos stared at him. "It's going to be even more dangerous in the future, so you better go back to the village and leave it to us here. ”

The emir shook his head expressionlessly. "I must go with you, I must see what kind of monster has captured the villagers!"

Jurania took a step forward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Amos, and the two didn't say anything more, and turned to help the mercenary heal. Fraser approached Emile and glanced at him thoughtfully, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds before Emile looked away.

Everyone found a dry open space to rest for a while, it was past lunchtime, everyone was hungry, and the battle just now consumed a lot of physical strength, it was definitely not a good idea to move on. A small fire was raised in the middle of the clearing, and a wide teapot was set up on the fire to boil water, and hot tea was essential in this cold weather.

The witcher shoved wheat bread into his mouth with hot tea, and Fraser ate a bread roll sausage, and took two sips from time to time with a metal sake bottle in his other hand. And the mercenaries are not as leisurely as them, the battle just now caused them heavy losses, one mercenary was killed, two were seriously injured, and they can no longer walk, and most of the other mercenaries are also slightly injured, and their situation can no longer continue. At this time, the mercenary who was still able to move was making a simple stretcher on the side to carry away his companions.

After Amos finished his food, he shouted to Elish, who was tying ropes to the branches, "You better retreat, it was just their harassment and attack just now, the real enemy has not yet appeared, don't give your life in vain." ”

Elish stopped what he was doing, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at Amos. "You're right, it's time for us to quit, it's better to leave this high-level monster to you witchers. With that, he looked at the corpse of his companion lying beside him. "It's just a pity for Tarth, how much he wants to be a mercenary like Fern Woodrow, so he is so eager to make a meritorious contribution and sacrifice himself to attack the water ghosts, but neglect his own defenses. ”

Jurania also looked this way. "You mean Fern Woodrow, the heir of Oberon, the terminator of the Dark Lord, the watcher of Wallis? ”

Lenny jerked his head up and replied righteously, "He must exist! He saved Wallis from the Dark Lord so that we can continue to live on this continent!"

Jurania pursed her lips and continued to eat her food, Amos whispering in her ear. "You shouldn't question their beliefs, as a mercenary, and a mercenary who has been dealing with monsters all year round, you really need a hero to inspire them and dispel the fear and confusion in their hearts. ”

Jurania nodded silently. "I understand. ”

Just then, a figure passed by her and walked straight for Tarth's corpse. Fraser knelt down on one knee beside the corpse, stretched out his right hand to brush away the broken hair that had fallen on his forehead, which had become cold, and then covered his entire palm over Tarth's forehead, closing his eyes and trembling his lips slightly. After a few seconds, Fraser opened his eyes and stood up to look at Elish. "He died for his ideals, and Fern would have blessed him. ”

Eilish suddenly felt that the magic swordsman in front of him had an unusual charm, and his words calmed him down for a moment, and he turned his head to look around at his companions, and from their eyes, he could tell that they also felt the same way.

Jurania watched Fraser's every move in disbelief, and Amos beside him still calmly observed.
