Chapter 810: Hijacking and Escaping
Although Wigo Fortez was dead, the battle inside the castle was not over, and Leo's spirit network quickly scanned the castle.
He found that Sylvia had actually gotten into a fight with Regier, and it seemed that Regier had triggered his bloodthirsty instinct because of the bloody aura around him.
Although the vampire Regir is very powerful, Sylvia as a witch is even stronger, not to mention that Sylvia knows the weaknesses of many blood clans, so the battle scene is moderate and is controlled by Sylvia, if it weren't for Sylvia not wanting to hurt Regier, I'm afraid the battle would have ended long ago.
On the other side, he also found that Geralt was near the dungeon at the moment, and he had already joined up with Ciri and another woman, that woman should be Yennefa, and there was no danger around.
On the contrary, the people above them are in a bad situation.
Cassirer, Mirva, and Angoulan seem to have strayed from Geralt, and they are in the lobby on the second floor of the castle, where a group of castle guards stands, and instead of besieging the three, they watch the battle between the three and another swordsman as if they were watching a play.
This swordsman has a hideous appearance, and has a very superb swordsmanship, in Leo's eyes, his swordsmanship level is probably slightly inferior even to Geralt, it is precisely because he has such superb swordsmanship, so that he is still at ease even if he is one against three.
On the other hand, Cassirer and they are a little struggling, Angulan and Mirva's swordsmanship is very average, and they can't cope with each other's attacks at all, only Cassirer carries most of the attacks with the strength of one person, and the three of them have a lot of injuries, including a few fatal injuries, but they can't pull out their hands at all to drink the healing potion that Leo prepared for them, and the other party doesn't seem to intend to give them a fatal blow, but like a cat playing with a mouse, they want to slowly torture them to death.
Seeing this, Leo naturally knew that he should start from that side, he inserted the abyss sword in his hand into the scabbard, then took out the queen, and then directly raised his gun and shot at the hall on the second floor.
Although the hall was blocked by a wall, the wall was not a problem at all for the bullet that had the Queen's piercing power attached, and it pierced through the wall and hit the head of the hideous swordsman, burrowed through his head, wringing his brain into a pile of mud, and then shot into the opposite wall, piercing through, not knowing where it had flown to.
The other soldiers in the hall were in the same situation, unconscious, and were shot in the head by the queen and died.
What happened in front of them made Cassirer, Mirva and Angoulan all stunned, they all felt that they might be finished this time, but what they didn't expect was that the swordsman who made them feel desperate suddenly fell to the ground, and at the same time, the other castle guards who were waiting to see them executed also fell to the ground one by one, as if death appeared and suddenly took their souls.
After being stunned for a while, the pain on their bodies and the dizziness after blood loss made them realize that now was not the time to be in a daze, and one by one they took out the healing potion in their arms and drank it, and as a cool feeling spread throughout their bodies, they felt the pain of each wound in their body receding like a tide, and then they felt that the wound was itchy again, and when they looked over, they found that the wound had stopped bleeding and healed, leaving only a shallow scar.
Several people looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they checked the fallen people, and found that they were all dead, and the cause of death was a hole in the head.
While Cassirer and the others were still speculating about what caused such a wound and who had saved them, Leo had already come to Sylvia's side.
I saw that he jumped up directly on a city wall, grabbed Regier in the air, dragged him down, and at the same time smashed him to the ground with a slight force, directly smashing a big hole in the ground, smashing his bones and making him faint in pain.
"He's Regier. Sylvia couldn't help but remind Regir of the tragic situation.
"I know. Leo said calmly: "He is a blood clan, and his recovery ability is very strong, and it won't take long for this injury to recover." ”
Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, so she could only change the subject and ask, "Has the fragment been found?"
Leo nodded, patting the box made of anti-magic metal on his chest.
At this time, Geralt and the others had also joined Cassirer who had come down from the second floor, and after hearing what had just happened from Angoulan's mouth, he felt a little remorseful, if he had walked slower and waited a little longer for Cassirer and the others, they would not have encountered danger.
At first, everyone thought that Hill and the swordsman were friends, but Hill said that she was angry that she didn't kill the swordsman herself, because the swordsman had tortured her in the past, not only killed her friends, but also left a scar on her face, and sent her to the arena to fight people.
Hearing Ciri mention her suffering, the woman next to her took Ciri in her arms and comforted her like a mother.
The group walked out of the castle and joined Leo and Sylvia, and when they saw Regiel fainting on the ground, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in their opinion, Regier's strength would not faint.
Sylvia explained the situation at that time, and everyone also understood Leo's move, after all, Reggier had completely lost his reason at that time, and there was no doubt that monsters, they would do the same if they encountered this situation.
In order to prevent Regiel from coming to his senses and still being in a state of irrationality, Geralt temporarily tied Regir with a rope, and then carried Regiel to the outside of the castle with everyone.
At this moment, a large group of mercenaries, led by a Nefgaard who looked like an officer, appeared in front of the city gates, just in the way of the crowd's departure.
When the Nefgadian saw the deplorable situation in the castle, he immediately ordered the mercenaries around him, and the mercenaries surrounded him, encircling Leo and the others in the middle.
"Let me fix it! Save time. Leo looked at the mercenaries around him and said.
As he spoke, he saw that as soon as he raised his hand, dozens of tiny points of light suddenly appeared in his palm, which looked like some kind of auxiliary spell such as light magic, but it was just a knight-like person who suddenly cast a magic spell or those mercenaries and Nefgaard people were a little surprised and puzzled.
However, before these people could be relieved from their surprise and incomprehension, they saw those points of light suspended in the air suddenly flying out in all directions, each point of light corresponding to a person, and instantly penetrated the heads, hearts and other vital points of these people.
Seeing this scene, Cassirer and the others immediately thought of those corpses, and Angulan couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! It's you, Uncle Knight, you saved us just now." ”
Leo didn't speak, he controlled this magic crystallization that combined crystallization magic and the queen's penetration of the root of the Turing word into the next step of metamorphosis.
Everyone saw that a silver-blue blurred shadow was suddenly suspended on all the corpses, and everyone understood that these shadows were the ghosts of the deceased, and after these ghosts appeared, they were instantly absorbed by the magic knot that killed them, and then the magic crystals regathered in Leo's hands and condensed into a soul crystallization stone, which was taken into his arms.
"Let's go! Let's get out of here. Leo suggested as he turned to Geralt.
Hearing this, Geralt nodded, carried Regiel on his shoulder, took Yennefer's hand, and walked out with Ciri, and the others followed.
When the group had left the castle, they came to the place where they had placed their horses, and Geralt gave Regier's horse to Yennefer and Ciri, and let them ride one, and he put Regier in his saddle, and then the group mounted their horses and headed for the nearest town.
However, before they could go far, a chaotic and rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the front and the rear at the same time, and from the sound of horses' hooves, it seemed that many people on horseback were approaching, and from the details of the horses' hooves, it could be heard that these horsemen were well-trained soldiers.
"Looks like it's coming for us. Leo looked at the front and back ends of the road, and although the moonlight was dim, he could still see that these people were the cavalry of the Nilfgard Empire.
So many regular cavalry of the Nefgaard Empire appeared in such a remote area, and they were still flanking them back and forth, obviously coming at them.
Faced with this situation, Geralt also knew that it was impossible to dodge, so he could only force his way out of the encirclement.
Sylvia also picked up the spear again, rode in front of the group, and said, "Wait a while, Leo and I will rush to the front and open up the opponent's formation, and you will follow closely so as not to fall behind." ”
At this time, Cassirer could see clearly by the moonlight the Nefgard army advancing not far from them, and saw clearly the banner held aloft by the army, and immediately said, "Wait! They are the royal guards, and these are His Majesty's army. ”
Hearing Cassirer's words, Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer were all stunned, and they all looked at each other, and their faces became a little ugly.
At this time, the army blocking both ends of the road stopped about two hundred meters away from a few people, and then the army at one end suddenly slowly spread out to both sides, and a man with a resolute face, surrounded by many knights, came to the vicinity of the group, looked at them, and finally stopped his eyes on Ciri, and said, "It's time for you to go home, Sirila." ”
"Go home?" Ciri sneered and looked at the man in front of him who should be called his father, gritted his teeth, and said, "My home is in Sintra, but now it has been destroyed by His Majesty!"
"Cirella, that's ......," the man wanted to say.
Before the man could speak, Ciri interrupted him and said, "My relatives died in the war you created, and I only have them now, I will not go with you, even if I die, I will not go with you." ”
Although Ciri is still very young now, her tone is unusually firm, and that solemn look means that she is not joking.
The man frowned, shifted his gaze to the witcher, and said in a deep voice, "I don't like you, witcher!"
"So do I, Your Majesty. Geralt said sharply.
The man looked at everyone indifferently and said, "It's impossible for you to escape today, as long as Ciri goes back with me, I will let you go." ”
"You ......" Geralt was about to say something, but Leo had already moved, he used the power of blood to stimulate the war horse under his crotch, so that it was unreasonable to speed up to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed down the man, effortlessly grabbed the man in his hand and pressed it to the saddle, and then said to the people around him: "Now I want to know if we can leave?"
At this moment, everyone was stunned, even Geralt and they were stunned, because everyone didn't expect Leo to suddenly rush out and the Emperor of the Nefgard Empire on the other side was caught, and what they didn't expect was that he rushed out so fast that everyone didn't have time to react.
Originally, the man stopped at a position of two hundred meters and let the army take him very close behind him, just to prevent someone from suddenly attacking, but what he didn't expect was that at such a long distance, the other party actually rushed down in the blink of an eye, and the war horse under the opponent's crotch seemed to be able to run to extreme speed as soon as he raised his legs.
At this moment, the man also lost his steadiness just now, struggling to get rid of the shackles of Leo's palm, but unfortunately Leo's palm was like it was made of steel, and no matter how he struggled, he didn't move.
At this moment, the people on the other side of the Nilfgaard Empire did not dare to move, and everyone looked at a gorgeously dressed knight who had followed the man before.
Seeing this situation, the man couldn't care about any transgressions, and said in a deep voice: "If you have any conditions, don't hurt our majesty." ”
Leo turned his head to look at Geralt and said, "It's easy, get out of the way, let's leave." ”
After hearing Leo's request, the knight didn't say anything, and directly raised his hand to signal, and the army blocking Leo's way immediately moved to both sides.
Seeing this, Leo opened the way in front of him, and the others followed.
After the group walked out of the encirclement, Leo motioned for them to go first, Geralt initially disagreed, but after Sylvia's persuasion, and Leo made it clear that they would only get in the way if they stayed, he said no more.
It's just that when Ciri passed by Leo, he looked at the man, and then said to Leo, "Please don't hurt him!"
Leo nodded and motioned for them to leave.
After Geralt had been walking for about half an hour, Leo lifted Emperor Nefgard from his saddle and placed him on the ground, loosening his grip.
