Chapter Eighty-Nine: Night Attack

"Dorigare?" Geralt had never heard of the name.

Dandrion grinned and said:

"Yes, Master Dorigare, a very interesting one."

"He advocated the balance of all things, and that humans should not interfere with all living things in nature, even water ghosts, ghouls, and evil ghosts, all within his protection."

"An extreme endangered animal protector, he should appear in my poetry, as the villain in the story, it's really funny, haha."

Geralt was a little speechless for a moment, it was really a big forest and there were all kinds of birds, don't think about it, as a demon hunter who hunts monsters as his profession, he must be one of the most hated professions for this magician.

He glanced at the magician, who was still chattering outside the king's tent, and quickly pulled Dandrion into Yennefer's tent, so as not to be caught by the tail and entangled by this guy, and it would be too troublesome to have another verbal fight.

However, I have to sigh at the status of the current mages and warlocks, even in the face of kings and nobles, they will not have any fear, with the most powerful warlock brotherhood in the northern continent to support them, even the kings of various countries, the lords in the fiefdom, they have to give them a little bit of thin face, it is impossible to judge them with a crime just like dealing with ordinary people.

The two had been drinking in the tent until Yennefer returned and drove the two slightly drunk men out of their tent.

The sorceress must pack her luggage, and as a lady, she carries a lot of luggage.

Geralt didn't care, and together with Dandrian, he went shoulder to shoulder to the haystack in the stable and continued to drink, a quiet place where no one disturbed, even if the smell of horse manure was all around, and he felt more comfortable than those hateful or disdainful glances.

Although King Nedamir was only the king of the small country of Khangon, his shelf was not small, and after he was ready to set off, he packed up the supplies for the camp for more than an hour, and filled a full twelve carriages.

Counting the members of the dragon hunting team and the soldiers, as well as the members of the Holopol reconnaissance team who were scouting the way in front of the road, there were about one hundred and fifty people in total.

The group formed a large group and made a mighty march into the Great Caistra Mountains, and under the guidance of local guides, climbed from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and walked for about six or seven hours, until the sun went down, and then found an open space to re-camp and rest.

And from their destination, the green dragon's lair, about a third of the way through.

Leaving aside the various encounters along the way, in the early hours of the next morning, a figure dressed in black and almost completely blended into the night, crept into Yennefa's tent.

The person who came was none other than Wayne the Witcher.

He originally wanted to look for Geralt in the tent, but the famous white wolf Geralt did not find it, and only saw a large white-haired dog lying next to the wooden pillar in the center of the tent, seemingly resting.

The big dog seemed to be quite alert, and Wayne had just opened the curtain of the tent when he reacted, and immediately got up from the ground, his eyes fixed on Wayne at the door, as if he was about to scream and pounce at any moment.

In order not to let the big white dog wake up the people around him.

Wayne didn't think about it, and in an instant, a Yaxi Fayin pushed over, and the big white dog immediately rolled his eyes and fell into a coma.

And just as he was considering whether to knock the dog unconscious, he did not expect that the big white dog's will was very strong, and suddenly he recovered from his coma, opened his mouth, and said in Geralt's voice:

"Don't do it, Wayne, it's me."

Wayne's head was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the big white dog on the ground with some shock, and then looked at the sorceress who was sleeping not far away and seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and thought, what kind of play is this, you guys are really playing.

Geralt was also a little embarrassed at this time, if he could, he really didn't want to show such an ugly appearance in front of his good brothers, but Wayne came to him in this dress, he must have something important to discuss, so he couldn't let him not expose himself.

"Let's go out and talk, don't wake up Yennefa, she doesn't have a good temper."

Fortunately, Wayne's receptivity was strong enough, looking at the big white dog who spoke to him, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then reacted, letting the door curtain be opened and let Geralt climb out first.

It was the wee hours of the morning, and everyone was asleep except for a few of the night guards who were still dozing.

Under the cover of night, a man and a dog came to a hidden place a few hundred meters away from the camp, and began to talk in a whisper, telling each other all the information they had.

Wayne didn't hide it, telling Geralt about Borch, the green dragon, and the young dragon, and then told him about Borch's request and his thoughts.

He believed that if it was Geralt, this righteous and very principled witcher would not object to what he was going to do next.

The big white dog sat on the ground, frowning like a human expression, and then asked:

"In other words, your goal now is to drive away all those ordinary people, and preferably King Nedamir and his soldiers as well."

"Leave only those who are hell-bent on slaying dragons, and let them have a fair duel with Borch at the top of the mountain?"

Wayne nodded, in his opinion, the soldiers and the citizens of Holobol were all victims of the authorities.

Even if the dragon slayer succeeds, they will not gain much, and if there is a battle with the dragon, they will be the first to die, this group of people is just a group of poor worms, there is no need to fight them to the death.

Geralt thought about it, nodded, and said:

"Yes, I will cooperate with your actions."

"However, you have to remember that you better not reveal your identity as a demon hunter, and don't let the golden dragon cause unnecessary casualties."

"When we're done, it's best to get Borch and his family out of here as soon as possible, as the news of the dragon spreads more and more, it will surely attract more greedy predators and countless mercenaries who are crazy about their wealth."

"Don't worry, I will."

Wayne waved goodbye to Geralt, then quickly walked into the darkness and vanished without a trace.

Geralt looked at Wayne's departing back, the dog had a helpless look on his face, sighed, and quickly ran back into Yennefer's tent on four legs.

Tonight is destined to be unpeaceful, and he will stand by Yenephar's side to protect his goddess.

Half an hour later, the whole camp suddenly became chaotic, and some of the guards on night were running around the camp and shouting in terror:

"It's on fire, come and put out the fire, come and put out the fire!"

"Our supplies are burned! The stables were also on fire, and many horses were killed! ”

"Traitors, there must be traitors! We were attacked, and someone must have tried to stop us from going up the mountain. ”

When Geralt and Yennefer came out of the tent, they saw a chaotic scene, some people were busy fighting fires, some were chasing the fleeing horses, and some soldiers were scrambling to get dressed and stand guard outside Nedamir's tent, lest an assassin suddenly rush out and assassinate their king.

In this chaotic scene, the young king did not dare to show up at will, only the fat and disheveled fat steward Gironsteen was still struggling to maintain order in the camp.

Unfortunately, they were halfway up the mountain at this time, and the water source nearby was seriously insufficient, and there was simply not enough water to fight the fire, and it was night, and they were in the deep mountains and old forests, and no one dared to run around, because such people were likely to become rations for beasts and monsters.

By the time the sun rose and they were scrambling to extinguish the fire, most of the entire camp had been burned, especially the food, horses, and wagons, which had been lost in the darkness.

It was a huge blow to the dragon hunting team that was still in high spirits yesterday.
