The weather in the north is changing, just now it was gloomy and gloomy, but the sun has already emerged from the clouds.

The forest was still white and foggy, and clouds of mist drifted around in the forest.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves above the dense forest, flecks falling to the ground.

When the light passes through the white mist, it forms a beam of light like a flashlight, and the dust visible to the naked eye rolls and floats up and down in the beam.

In the forest, several people are struggling through it.

The direction is easy to recognize, but the road is difficult to walk, because there is no road at all.

Huck thought they would take themselves down some unknown path, but that wasn't the case.

Perhaps for the sake of secrecy, the three Smiths took the witcher and headed north along the edge of the canyon that undulated for nearly 100 meters.

They didn't seem to be too familiar with the path, more like a temporary idea, and the two people in front of them kept chopping branches with their hatchets to make a way through the thorns.

The butler dressed as a kobold military advisor didn't follow, the captain of the guard should have been explained, and he didn't trouble the witcher on the way, but he just glanced back from time to time and didn't speak.

The sun in the sky shone ten thousand rays, and the humid forest gradually became sweltering, and before long they had gone, everyone was already out of breath.

"I said, why do you have to drill in the woods, isn't there even a road?"

Although he was in much better shape than the others, the witcher also began to sweat, and the sultry weather, coupled with the water vapor rising from the ground, made his breath poor, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"If you are willing to cooperate, we don't have to work so hard~"

Smith glanced back at him, reproach and schadenfreude in his eyes.

"Since the Baron wants to talk about things, why don't you find a place at the bottom of the mountain, is it because you have already been scared?"

Huck sneered, if the so-called cooperation is to disarm and blindfold, then there is really nothing to talk about.

"Bold, you dare to slander your lord," Smith roared, turning his head and touching the hilt of his sword.

The two men who had opened the way immediately turned behind him, glaring at the witcher with their hatchets.

Gan, why is this guy just a little bit, is he eating too much gunpowder?

The young witcher stopped, looked coldly at the grumpy captain of the guard, and did not speak.

Smith held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand showed how hard he was.

Just when Huck thought this guy was going to run wild, he let go of his weapon and said coldly:

"The bottom of the mountain is full of Nilfgaard's spies, and the Baron can't risk his life."

The captain of the guard waved his hand and motioned for his two men to continue on the way, and he walked in front of the witcher.

"Freak, be careful what you say, I've already killed several mutants like you, I don't mind killing another one!"

"Really? I've also killed a lot of people who talk like you, and I don't mind killing one more. ”

Looking at the demon hunters who were competing against each other and did not back down, Smith's eyes flashed with fierce murderous aura, but he did not attack on the spot, but turned to leave.

"Let's go, witcher, and I hope your swordsmanship will be as good as your mouth!"

On the road ahead, everyone didn't talk anymore, just silently hurried, but a lot faster.

Huck sensed that the deal might be dangerous, but he didn't intend to give up halfway, but kept all the iconic landmarks along the way in mind.

Fortunately, the road was not difficult to find, and they kept walking next to the edge of the canyon, so they didn't have to worry about getting lost.

An hour later, Huck heard the sound of running water.

Sure enough, a short distance on, I saw a river flowing at the bottom of the canyon.

A little further walk there is a wooden bridge in front of you, which spans the canyon, with a rushing river below and a waterfall with a drop of nearly 20 meters in front.

On the opposite side of the wooden bridge is a double-opening wooden door, flanked by wooden walls about three or four meters high, which are arranged by upright logs.

Both the wooden doors and the wooden walls look rudimentary, and they should have been built in a hurry.

"This bridge is called the Bridge of the Laughers," Smith suddenly opened his mouth as he crossed the wooden bridge, "After the castle was breached, the baron retreated to the hill, and the men in black built a wooden wall and gate on the other side of the bridge to defend against the Temerian army north of the crossroads. ”

He patted the wooden piles of the wooden bridge with emotion and continued:

When the baron heard that the men in black were attacking the camp of his allies, although he knew that it was dangerous, he still rejected all dissuasion and insisted on bringing people to the rescue.

He broke through the Nilfgaard resistance, wiped out all the defenders at the bridgehead, and then rushed to the battlefield.

Unfortunately, there were too many men in black, and although the baron led troops to rescue, in the end, the Temerian army was completely annihilated, and only the lord alone fought his way out of the siege.

So, he is a brave and fearless hero, and I will not allow anyone to tarnish his honor..."

Looking at Smith's murderous gaze, Huck directly chose to ignore it.

He has now figured out that the brainless fan in front of him, who turned out to be a baron, is still very irritable, no wonder he is about to go berserk with a word.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is not to be like him, if you are not going to really cut him.

It's the same as driving and not competing with people with road rage.

Behind the wooden walls, on both sides of the road are the burned encampments of the Nilfgaards, and the remnants of the tents and flags can be clearly seen with the golden sun motif.

The ruins were covered in black blood, some broken arrows were scattered everywhere, and there were a few broken spears stuck in the ground, but there were no bodies.

It seems that after the destruction of the Temeria camp northeast of the Crossroads, the place lost its strategic value and was abandoned by the Men in Black.

Shortly after leaving the Bridge of the Laughers, they began to climb the mountain and continue their journey north.

Huck was a little curious, how did Smith find his way through such a dense forest, and he didn't even need to stop to see if he was going wrong on the way.

It wasn't long before the witchers noticed something strange, and the landmark that the captain of the guard observed turned out to be an eagle's head cliff on a high mountain.

Every time there was no way out, he would take it around in a circle, and soon he was back in the direction that led to the Eagle's Head Cliff.

I walked and stopped, and I don't know how many cliffs I climbed and how many streams I crossed, and finally I saw a tent hidden in the jungle.

As soon as he walked to the bottom of the hill, several 'bandits' armed with various weapons immediately jumped out of the dense forest.

The leader, with a spear in his hand, leather armor and a helmet, looked past the Smiths in front of him, and stayed on Huck for a moment.

Immediately, he waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately dispersed and disappeared into the dense forest again.

With the super sensing ability, the witcher found that there were far more people than just a few in front of him, and there were hidden sentinels in dense forests, grasses and even dense branches.

It seems that these resistance forces do have a set of marching formations.

When I went up the hill, I realized that it was actually just an outpost.

The tents were lined with sleeping mats, some of which were still lying on them resting people.

Further inside, in a leeward, backlit hollow, a group of people sat roasting game over a campfire.

Seeing them appear, these 'robbers' dressed in 'fancy clothes' all looked at them with scrutiny on their faces, and they all looked surprised when they saw the witchers behind them.

Climbing up a staircase made of logs embedded in the earth, and after climbing over a small hill, a huge camp appeared in front of you.

Looking at the camp hidden in the woods in front of him, which would never be discovered without approaching, Huck narrowed his eyes.
