As Lan had expected, improvised traps were placed in several places.

Not much more complicated, similar to what hunters do to catch wild beasts.

Lan's powers of observation dismantled the arrangements to pieces.

The roaring bear head necklace around his neck hung safely, which made Lan En feel more at ease.

This means that there is no trace of magic in the area.

The group tracked all the way to a cave.

At the entrance to the cave, Lane motioned to Philip behind him, where the murderer was hiding.

The witcher felt the direction of the wind at the entrance of the cave and determined that there was only one exit to the cave.

The sergeants were prepared in a relaxed atmosphere, and they hung a kind of iron lantern on their chests.

A candle is placed in the middle of the fully enclosed tin box, leaving only a small window on the outside that can be opened and closed.

The lantern is structurally able to gather the light to light forward, and it does not feel burned if it is hung on the chest through a layer of armor.

It's a kind of medieval warfare wisdom.

The sergeants rushed in, and the movement of the iron armor colliding and rubbing against each other seemed urgent and dense under the echo of the cave.

Yes, Lan and the soldiers didn't care about concealment at all at this point.

In the dim light of the fire, people vaguely saw a strange figure in the depths of the cave, panicked.

"Run, bastard! Run faster and see where you can go! A leading soldier shouted with undisguised malice and anger. Dare to eat people in Dunhan! You don't even think of hanging, we'll tie you to the pyre and burn you alive to atone for your sins! ”

But even with this shouting, the shield in his hand never came down from his face.

It definitely helped him.

A stone flew out of the depths of the cave and smashed on the shield with a "bang".

The shield was slightly skewed, but it regained its stance in the blink of an eye.

Cannibalistic criminals are undoubtedly the most threatening category, and this kind of person doesn't want to let them be caught at all.

If the stone just now, if it was not blocked by the shield, it is estimated that it will directly hit the soldier's helmet.

The steel helmet can effectively protect the head, but this structure determines that even if the steel helmet is slapped twice by the enemy, the people inside will be dizzy.

Not to mention a heavy throwing stone.

Historically, the unarmed skills of the Janissaries troops are known as the "Janissaries slap".

"Resist! All right! Then rebel! ”

The soldiers walked faster, and the anger of the trampled faith erupted along with the resentment of going deep into the swamp in armor.

Lane heard York shouting too.

"Dog, we're going to make you beg to be burned at the stake!"

Finally, a man couldn't stand the threat of the approaching outside, and threw a dozen throwing stones like crazy, and then pounced.

All the stones were blocked by the shield soldiers at the front of the team.

The man wanted to know what terrible punishment he was about to face, and in Len's opinion, he rushed forward with the goal of death rather than life.

A dagger with a short arm didn't protect the torso at all, and slammed into the soldier's blade as it swung wildly.

"He doesn't want to live, don't kill him here."

The witcher had a glimmer of vision, and the murderer's careful thoughts were completely seen by Lan En, so he simply opened his mouth to remind him.

What this guy has done is fully worthy of all the torture in this world.

These veterans cooperated very well, and while the murderer was entangled with one of the soldiers, the three sword and shield soldiers directly held their shields and surrounded him in the middle.

The three shields were squeezed inward, and the murderer's arm holding the dagger was stuck in the crack, and it was directly snapped off with a click.

After screaming in vain, several one-handed swords stabbed through the gaps in the shield.

The tip of the sword was all pointing downward, and most of it was pierced in the thigh.

At this point, it can already be said that the dust has settled.

The remaining nearly ten soldiers didn't even make their hands dirty.

A group of men dragged the beast out of the cave and exposed it to the sun.

Only then did everyone see his appearance.

Pale skin, deep-set eye sockets, and body size data that matched what Lan En had offered.

He wore a black open animal skin waistcoat, with no other clothing on his upper body.

The palm of a human hand serves as a pendant, and the rope is passed through the wrist bone and worn around his neck.

The palm of the hand was severed from the wrist, and it seemed to have been embalmed, keeping it full without air drying but not smelly.

In order to prevent him from escaping, the soldiers simply left two holes in the soles of his feet with their swords.

From the instep to the center of the foot, it is transparent up and down.

As for getting infected in the swamp?

He's going to be burned at the stake, I don't care if he's infected?

Philip was in a good mood.

"Thanks to you, Master. Otherwise, this dog mongrel is hiding here, and we don't know how much effort it will take to catch him! ”

"Just remember the bounty...... Woo, this bastard smells so much and so much that it makes me sick to my stomach. ”

"Don't worry about the bounty! We've captured him alive, and the bounty won't be less! ”

Lann nodded, agreeing with Philip.

The living is worth more than the dead.

But looking at the cannibal who was still wailing, Lane took a moment of seriousness and made a suggestion to Philip.

"It's good to get the job done, but ...... I'll say more, that guy shouldn't be alone. ”

"Huh? And the murderer? ”

Philip was shocked, but Lane shook his head and waved his hand.

"He's the only one who committed the crime in Dunhan, but what I'm saying is that this guy should belong to a group of cannibals."

"How do you know?"

The sergeant looked at Lan En suspiciously, and the young man lifted his chin and pointed to the palm necklace on the murderer's chest.

"Look at that necklace. A human palm, cleanly processed and hung around the neck. This is an obviously ceremonial ornament, and it is only in a targeted group that the demand for 'ritual' and 'ornament' is born. ”

Philip's eyes were as clear as a child's.

Seeing this, Lan En pursed his lips and touched his forehead.

"Let's put it this way, followers of the Eternal Flame will leave fire embellishments all over their bodies, but others won't."

"Oh~ Understood." Philip nodded up and down, "You're saying he believes in a cannibalistic sect?" ”

“...... It's okay if you think so. Lan reluctantly agreed.

"Look at the palm necklace, the wrist incision has obviously been treated, and the wrist bone can be exposed cleanly. The embalming methods are also very good, which shows that they have eaten a lot of people, and can even use the palms of these people to figure out a set of processes for making ornaments...... They are organized, Philip. ”

Lan En told him to be careful, and it was best to patrol the area where the security forces could be strengthened.

But Philip said, "I can't, Master." ”

The man spoke in a very flat tone, one that was so light that it was not like talking about an organized group of cannibals, but a few mischievous children.

"We only have so many people, we can't afford to raise too much."

"Maybe you don't believe it, but it's not like this. For more than ten years, I have felt like I have changed my life in a different world. Kings, you beat me, I beat you, and I killed you all over the ground, and I don't know why. Originally, no one would steal a child no matter how poor Willen was, but now I have received dozens of reports of lost children in the past two months. We have to take care of this first, otherwise how can the farmers still have the heart to farm with peace of mind? ”

"The heart is broken, Master. All I can say is that when I encounter cannibal sects, I will clear them, but if I don't...... In this world, how much can even a king manage? ”
