Chapter Forty-Eight: Killing the Cold Tiger
Including the cavalry, a total of more than 100 people left the castle of Fergus and headed towards Giethoorn.
Along the way, it attracted a lot of attention, and I don't know how many of these eyes were spies from other families.
A little more than two hours later, they arrived at Giethoorn.
"Father."
Seeing the arrival of Viscount Fergus and Gray's party, Bernal immediately greeted him with soldiers.
"Well, you've worked hard this time!"
Viscount Fergus looked at Bernaldau with satisfaction.
"Young Master Bernal is getting more and more like the Viscount when he was young!"
Baron Ricardo laughed and touted.
"Uncle Egbert has won the award, and I'm just stationed here, which is far worse than my father's back then."
Bernal looked humble, but it was clear that he was in a good mood at the moment because of the compliment, he continued.
"Father, a total of seven soldiers died in the Akaba Forest this time."
"Hmm."
Viscount Fergus glanced behind Bernal, there were originally more than 20 people, but now there were only a dozen soldiers left, his face remained unchanged, and he spoke.
"My promise will not change, all of you will be rewarded with three gold coins, and I will give the reward to their families if you die."
"Lord Viscount Xie!"
The remaining dozen or so soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, with excitement on their faces.
I am happy that I have survived, and I am also excited that I am about to receive an unimaginable sum of money, and at the same time, there is some sadness for my dead companion, after all, it is a companion who has been with him for so long, and he died like this.
"Seven dead!"
Looking at the more than a dozen soldiers with excited faces, Gray had mixed feelings, both regret for the loss of life and sympathy.
The civilians of this world are even more unfortunate than him in his previous life, although he was unsatisfactory in his previous life, he did not have a luxury car, no mansion, but his life safety can still be guaranteed.
But in this world, not to mention the safety of life, life is equated with money in a grand way, measured by money, and willing to gamble for only three gold coins, it is conceivable that the life of civilians in this world is hard.
Viscount Fergus obviously didn't feel much about the death of these seven soldiers, and he spoke up.
"Let's go, let's do it as soon as possible!"
"Yes."
Everyone responded, and their eyes basically did not stay on the dozen or so soldiers behind Bernal.
Except for Gray, no one feels sorry for these lost lives, and measuring civilian lives in terms of money is the norm in this world, the rules of this world, and they have become accustomed to it.
More than 100 people, tying their horses to Giethoorn Village, entered the Red Leaf Forest, and headed towards the lake in the Red Leaf Forest.
Along the way, they were extremely careful not to make too much movement, so as not to alarm the cold tiger mother beast in advance.
When they were about to get closer, they even asked ordinary soldiers to stop moving forward and watch from a distance, while Viscount Fergus, Gray and other people with the lowest strength and lower blood warriors continued to grope for the past.
The reason why these soldiers were brought was not to allow them to participate in the siege of the Blood Beast, but to beware of the other Viscount Clan's people who might appear just in case.
One-on-one, a soldier is no match for a blood warrior, but if he falls into the encirclement of a soldier, even a blood warrior will be hacked to death with a knife, unless the blood warrior is covered in copper skin and iron bones.
Of course, even Gray, Bernal, and Ellis were not counted by Viscount Fergus among those who besieged the Tiger.
Even the strength of the median blood warrior didn't play much role in besieging and killing a fierce blood beast like Hanhu, and bringing them here was just to let them gain knowledge.
Soon, a lake with a hint of pale green appeared in Gray's field of vision.
Looking for it, he soon found the lair of the cold tiger not far from the lake.
In the nest, the two-meter-long, extremely wide cold tiger is eating some animal, judging from the animal's skeleton, the body length of this animal is at least more than one meter.
It should have just given birth, and the body was extremely weak, and he was eating a lot to replenish his strength.
Next to it, a small cat-like creature was crawling, chirping and chirping on its lower belly.
This small animal is more than 20 centimeters long, covered in white hair, and has black lines in the white hair.
"Do it!"
Viscount Fergus gave an order to the four Barons Ricardo, and then slowly lurked towards the lair.
"Yes."
The four Barons Ricardo all answered silently, and then hurried to follow.
Gray, Bernal, and Ellis did not follow, and still stayed where they were, observing the Cold Tiger and the Cold Tiger cubs, and the next battle was not something they could get involved in.
However, the three of them were a little excited, not only for the cold tiger cub they were about to get, but also for this rare high-level battle.
"Big brother, do you think father, can they succeed?"
Ellis asked, slightly nervous.
"Absolutely."
Bernal was sure.
"That cold tiger has just given birth to cubs, and its body is very weak, even if it is a father, I am afraid that he can be sure to kill it, not to mention the four high-ranking blood warriors of Baron Ricardo."
Gray didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Tiger's lair, and he agreed with Bernal's words.
A fierce blood warrior plus four high-ranking blood warriors should not be a big problem to besiege and kill a cold tiger that has been greatly weakened because of the strength of the cubs.
Gray was surprisingly unsympathetic to what happened to the Tiger She-Beast next.
Blood beasts are extremely ferocious beasts, they feed on flesh and blood, this flesh includes not only animals but also humans, and at least 100,000 people die in the attacks of blood beasts in the Purple Moon Kingdom every year.
And this is already a relatively small number of casualties, in the history of the continent, once a long time ago, human beings were once reduced to the blood food of blood beasts.
It was an extremely dark history, and at that time, human beings were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, powerless in front of blood beasts, not knowing when they would become food for blood beasts, and not knowing if they would wake up after falling asleep.
Knowing such a history, it is difficult for Gray to have sympathy for the blood beasts, the blood beasts feed on humans, why can't humans hunt blood beasts?
Whew—
Just as Gray was thinking about this, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, and Gray hurriedly looked, and saw the cold tiger mother beast standing up vigilantly, and showing her bloody mouth, looking in one direction with her teeth cracked.
Viscount Fergus they were discovered!
Then, I saw the figure of the cold tiger leap violently, jumped five or six meters away, and pounced in the direction of Viscount Fergus.
"Get out of the way!"
Gray heard Viscount Fergus's loud warning voice, and then saw a cyan sword slicing through an unknown red-leaved tree, heading towards the claws of the cold tiger.
Bell –
The cyan long sword collided with the claws of the cold tiger, and it actually made a sound like the clash of gold and iron, and it was obviously something that grew out of flesh and blood, but it was as hard as metal.
Bang Bang Bang!
Viscount Fergus was knocked back several steps by the impact of the Tiger's sheer size, but immediately rushed towards the Tiger with his sword.
The power of blood is not only poured into his hands and feet, but also into the cyan long sword in his hand, as a fierce blood warrior, the power of blood is already quite strong, and it can be used as a conventional means of combat.
The hands that were infused with the power of blood, the increase in strength was not large, it can only be said that talking is better than nothing, the blood method he practiced was deduced from the wind wolf, and the wind wolf was not good at strength.
However, his speed has skyrocketed a lot, after all, the wind wolf's speed can also rank upstream among all fierce blood beasts.
Moreover, the cyan longsword that has been infused with the power of blood seems to be even more cyan on the surface.
Swish!
Viscount Fergus quickly appeared on the side of the Chill Tiger, and slashed at the Chill Tiger's neck with a sword.
Burst!
At the critical moment, Hanhu raised his right front paw to block the sword that slashed towards its neck, but a deep scar appeared on its right front paw, and cherry red blood droplets dripped down, and the thick fur on the surface did not give it much protection.
There are reasons why Viscount Fergus is a fierce blood warrior and is powerful, and there are also reasons why Viscount Fergus's cyan longsword is a magic weapon and has the ability to enhance the sharpness of weapons.
Puff puff!
At the same time, the four Baron Ricardo touched the back of the cold tiger, and all the weapons in their hands slashed at the cold tiger.
It also left a wound on Hanhu's body, but it was much shallower than the huge wound left by Viscount Fergus.
Whew—
The injury made the cold tiger go crazy, the tiger's mouth opened wide, and a cloud of white forest cold air appeared, crashing towards Viscount Fergus.
The branches of the trees encountered along the way were all attached to a layer of frost, which shows the low temperature of the cold air.
"Be careful!"
Gray, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but exclaim, but he quickly let go of his worries, because Viscount Fergus had already dodged with his speed before Bai Sensen's cold air approached.
Not only that, but after dodging, he even attacked with a "wind blade", blocking Hanhu's action of turning around and attacking Baron Ricardo behind him.
Burst!
Cold Tiger was injured again, and this time it was more serious than all the previous injuries combined, because it was caused by the "Wind Blade", the strongest method that Viscount Fergus could use at the moment.
"Steady!"
Seeing this scene, Gray was basically sure that there should be no problem for Viscount Fergus to besiege and kill Hanhu with five people.
And what happened next, just as he expected, Hanhu's injuries became more and more serious, his movements became slower and slower, and he cast two "cold qi" in succession, but he was dodged by Viscount Fergus with his speed.
Whew—
Finally, with a howl of pain, Hanhu fell completely and fell to the ground, leaving only the strength to convulse.
However, just when everyone was ready to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, from the red leaf forest not far away, six figures quickly rushed out and rushed straight to the cold tiger's lair.
The timing can be described as extremely delicate, just because the cold tiger mother beast has just died, and the soldiers do not dare to get too close because the cold tiger mother beast is too dangerous, and there is still a long distance from the cold tiger lair.
If the cold tiger mother beast did not die, they would snatch the cold tiger cubs, which would inevitably cause the cold tiger mother beast to attack madly, which is also the reason why Gray and the others did not take advantage of the time when Viscount Fergus and others surrounded and killed the cold tiger, and took the cold tiger cubs away.
And if the soldiers from a distance rushed over and surrounded the surroundings, even if their strength was enough in the face of more than a hundred elite soldiers.
