Chapter 286: Yennefer Captured
After hearing the news, Wayne didn't show too much surprise.
Just like in the plot he recalled, it was not surprising that even the hero who saved the world would be affected by the power of the demon god and degenerate into a new demon king, let alone just a member of the Supreme Council.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Francesca, as a member of the Supreme Council, is definitely safe because of the ethnic conflict between the two sides, and she did not participate in the events of the Kingdom of Kodwin this time.
Among the remaining Supreme Councillors, in addition to Tishaya, the former headmaster of the Erethusa Academy of Magic, the legendary Viagra is also one of the members.
As for the remaining two, Wayne didn't even know their names, and of course didn't care about their lives or deaths.
"So, Margarita, what are you going to do next?"
Wayne looked at Margaret and asked aloud:
"Have you talked to Kayla about them?"
"Are you going to terminate this commission and return to a safe location, or are you going to continue this commission?"
Margarita shook her head when she heard this, but she still said in a firm tone:
"Whether Kayla wants to terminate this commission or not, I must leave and bring this news to the Warlock Brotherhood, to the High Council."
"This matter is not only related to the security within the Warlock Brotherhood, but also related to the entire North and even the whole world, and must be taken seriously."
Wayne nodded when he heard this, although the other party looked cynical and a little, but as the current principal of Eritusa Academy, Margarita's status in the spellcaster circle was still very high.
While she wants to give respect and benefits, it also means that she has to take on more responsibilities than ordinary warlocks.
Just as the two were talking, Kayla, whose face was a little pale, also walked over, because of the spell backlash just now, coupled with the forcible spell casting in the battle afterwards, she and Kalkstein both suffered a little internal injury, although it was not serious, but it was inevitable that the spirit and body would be quite painful.
"I've heard your conversation, Wayne."
Before she could get closer, Kayla walked over and said:
"In this matter, I will follow everyone's opinions, I can't force everyone to carry out such a dangerous mission, compared to life, no matter how high the status is, it is useless."
Wayne nodded when he heard this, don't think about it, that guy in Kalkestan must be thinking about leaving early, and now that Kayla, as an employer, has made a decision, then he, the bodyguard, of course, will not have any other ideas.
When the news reached the team, the remaining mercenaries, as well as Kalkstan, were overjoyed to finally be able to leave the place.
And the three Resso who came with Wayne must have no opinion, although they are witchers who exchange their lives for money, but no one will like this kind of dangerous place.
Soon after, the goal was agreed, and the team set out on their return journey, with no one giving any idea of Wayne's spatial teleportation abilities and the props that summoned the undead.
Although they must have doubts in their hearts, as people who are close to Wayne, they will not question him at this time.
And like Kalkstein and those mercenaries, because they don't have the guts, they dare to explore a person's secret in such a dangerous environment, which is an act of seeking death, and normal people will not make such a mistake.
Perhaps Wayne showed that they were strong enough, and the return journey was relatively smooth, and they did not encounter other Fallen armies again, only occasionally encountered some undead creatures and mutated monsters.
After a day's walk along the route you came, towards the town where the Warlock Brotherhood was stationed.
Wayne and the others suddenly heard the sounds of running and calling for help in a wilderness, as well as the neighing of horses.
In response to such an encounter, Kalkstein immediately said that they are now very dangerous and should not meddle in their own affairs.
This idea was immediately accepted by the mercenaries, who had lost from hundreds to only five or six now, and if it weren't for the fact that Kalkstein was a warlock and was surrounded by a strong man like Wayne, they might have killed their employer long ago to repay their hatred.
With the relatively ordinary moral level of mercenaries, it is not yet supported that they risk their lives to rescue other people, where are they willing to meddle in their affairs.
Kayla was hesitant, as an egoistic sorceress, she didn't approve of helping others when she was in danger.
Margarita, the oldest and longest-living in the group, still maintained a kind heart, and the headmistress looked at Wayne with a serious expression, and said with a slightly pleading tone:
"Maybe we should go over and have a look, Wayne."
"Maybe the other party is also a warlock, or an acquaintance of ours, if we save them, our next trip will be safer."
Wayne also had the idea of rescue in his heart, in fact, if it wasn't for the other members who needed protection, this fog would not be dangerous to him.
Whether it is the Fallen, the Undead, or other mutated monsters, even if there are many of them, if they can't break through head-on, with the ability of his Ancient Blood, it will be easy to leave.
Looking at the inquiring eyes of everyone, Wayne pondered in his heart for a second, and then said:
"I'll go and see it alone, you guys are here on guard, I'll come to you soon."
After saying goodbye to his teammates, Wayne followed the direction from which the voice came, hiding his figure and moving forward quickly.
Soon, after only a few dozen meters of progress, a picture appeared in front of him that surprised him very much.
I saw Dandrien, who was wearing a rather conspicuous set of leather armor hundreds of meters away from him, riding on a tall black war horse, running and calling for help.
Behind him, Geralt, covered in blood and with a few arrows stuck in his body, seemed to have fallen into a coma, lying motionless on the back of his horse.
They seemed to have been running away for some time, Dandrien's face was full of fear, and the horse he sat on was out of breath and running a little slowly, looking like it was about to fall at any moment.
After seeing these two people, Wayne didn't hesitate anywhere, and immediately appeared in front of Dandrien with a direct flash.
Before he could communicate with Dandrien, the sound of another galloping horse could be heard far behind the bard.
Listening to the number of voices, there were probably a dozen knights chasing them.
Facing Wayne who suddenly appeared in front of him, Dandrion was startled at first, almost fell off his horse, and then immediately grabbed the war horse and shouted excitedly:
"Wayne, you're so good to come, come and save us."
"Geralt, he's badly wounded, he's dying, and we're being chased after us."
Wayne was shocked in his heart, and didn't think much about it, immediately took out a bottle of powerful healing potion from the space bracelet, and walked quickly to Geralt's side.
At this time, the white wolf's face was very pale, and the armor of the master wolf school on his body was torn in many places, and blood was slowly flowing outward, obviously injured in many places, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Perhaps he was in a hurry to escape, and all the weapons on his body were gone, except for the faint exhalation of the sniffle, which showed that Geralt was still alive.
Seeing this, a trace of anger flashed in Wayne's eyes, Geralt can be said to be the best relationship between him and the witcher brother in this world except for Viselmir, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a friend of life and death.
Now that he looks like he is almost dead, how can he not be angry?
He first took out a scroll of holy light from the bracelet and used a holy light spell on Geralt's body, dispersing the evil power in the white wolf's body while also hanging his life.
He then opened Geralt's mouth with his hand and poured the potion of powerful healing potion into it.
After doing all this, Wayne pulled out a large bag of healing tools from his waist bag and threw it to Dandrien who dismounted from his horse, then pulled out the Startik electric blade from his waist and looked in the direction where the sound of the horse's hooves was coming from.
"You bandage Geralt first, and I'll take care of the enemy."
As his words fell, a total of about ten heavily armed Fallen Knights burst out of the mist.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the Rat and Wayne, who had no longer fled in front of them, the Fallen Knights let out a wild laugh and then rushed over without a word, as if preparing to kill both Wayne and Geralt.
Wayne was furious in his heart, and before those knights could rush in front of him, he had already appeared behind a fallen knight in a flash.
The Startic electric blade in his hand, flashing with dazzling lightning, slashed at the knight.
The glow of chain lightning shone brightly in the thick fog, and the screams of the fallen knights were piercing.
A few minutes later, with a terrible last scream, the ten fallen knights were all killed by Wayne using his flashing abilities, turning them into headless corpses on the ground, and the stench of blood stained his armor red, but the killings still could not quell his anger.
With a frown, he walked up to the unconscious Geralt with a bloody breath, crouched down, carefully examined Geralt's wounds, and helped him remove the arrows from his body.
At this time, Dandrion had already stripped off Geralt's shirt and was bandaging him with considerable skill, with a happy expression on his face for the rest of his life.
"What's going on? How did you get to where you are now? ”
Before Dandrien could answer, it seemed that because he heard Wayne's voice, Geralt suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed Wayne's palm hard, and opened his eyes a little loosely, as if looking at Wayne, and as if not, and said in a weak voice:
"Wayne, go and save Yennefer, she's been captured by the enemy."
"Please, get her back."
