Chapter 280 Please Make Way

"Bibo Bibo~"

The dead branches and wood in the campfire burned, making noises.

All of a sudden.

Ailin was lost in thought, unaware of anything.

Vesemir felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard this lifelike roar.

It was as if he was back at the Killer Lake, showing the other witcher masters of the Wolf School the results of his practice of the "Quack Quack" Ice Spear Spell.

"Ahem~" The Demon Hunter Master coughed lightly and spoke cautiously.

"Could it just be the monster's scream before dying?"

Ailin didn't think so.

When the flames burning on the monster's body turned from green to orange, the anger and jealousy towards the living in its one eye, such emotions that were normal for ghost-like creatures, were clearly gone.

Instead, there was confusion and an extremely urgent desire, even...

The witcher pondered that last look.

There's even a hint of redemption in it.

How could such complex emotions be conveyed by just one eye? How could the words he shouted urgently at that time be just a meaningless scream before death?
"It must be trying to tell me something, but I just can't understand it?" the witcher was sure.

Vesemir didn't understand Arryn's dilemma at the moment, but seeing that he was so sure, he became serious and was about to concentrate on analyzing it.

"Whoo~"

A green light suddenly appeared beside the Demon Hunter Master.

"Ah~"

Amid the horrifying screams, Vesemir skillfully transformed it into green fireworks.

"Don't think about it." The Demon Hunter Master patted Ailin on the shoulder. "Although I don't know what kind of monster this ghost is, it is most likely a wizard who was killed in the Falgar Rebellion. I don't know what kind of transformation he made to his body and soul..."

"Even if there was some meaning hidden in the monster's final roar, it was probably some last words of regret and hatred."

"Let's solve Elland's problem first, and we can deal with the rest later..."

The demon hunter nodded upon hearing this.

Although the noise of the celestial spheres merging was too small, Vesemir misunderstood the source of the monster.

But he was right.

Protecting Elland is the most important thing now.

As for that strange last words...

"Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit I" was completed, unlocking the celestial intersection leading to a certain demon spirit world. If all else fails, there is still "Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit II"...

As long as the problem of the Wild Hunt is solved, there is always a chance.

As long as the Wild Hunt is dealt with...

"That's easy to say..."

Thinking of this, the demon hunter shook his head and sighed.

He took a long look at the city of Elland in the distance, which was ablaze with flames.

Then move your eyes downward.

Since the one-eyed monster was dead, except for the nearby demon spirits that were still floating towards him, most of the other demon spirits had already begun to turn back slowly.

It continued to drift towards Elland at a slow and steady pace.

have to say.

It didn't take Ailin more than a few minutes to defeat the one-eyed monster.

But its roar bought Aelin and Elland a lot of time.

Those evil spirits were almost floating back to the place where they first appeared.

The originally tight time suddenly became a lot more ample.

While observing the battle, Ailin took out a bottle of white honey and cat's eye from the reagent bag.

Drink them in order.

Suddenly.

The rapidly beating heart and the throbbing pain in the temples that seemed to be about to explode suddenly disappeared.

At this moment.

"Boom~"

There was an explosion.

A dazzling flame bloomed at the end of the green monster tide.

About seventy or eighty meters away from Alin and Vesemir, there is a burning area with a length and width of two meters.

It seemed as if they were trying to stop the tide of demonic spirits from rushing towards them.

"what--"

The demons in the burning area screamed loudly, but their speed did not slow down much. The most important thing was that none of them turned into green fireworks and disappeared.

The one who was most seriously injured only had his spirit become slightly transparent.

"Aylin!"

Anxious shouts were accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves.

The witcher looked in the direction of the sound.

"Pfft~"

The horse hasn't stopped yet.

In the leaping flames, a slender and petite figure was about to fall off the horse's back.

But he stumbled and for some reason his hand lost its grip.

"Ah~"

With a scream, the figure fell down suddenly.

After the demon hunter drank the cat's eye potion, his perception was at its sharpest. He took two steps forward and caught it.

The soft and plump body fell into his arms.

The fresh scent of citrus instantly drove away the stench of the evil spirit.

"Why are you here? Do you know how dangerous this is..."

Ailin gently put Mary down and wanted to scold her.

But by the light of the fire, he saw that the girl's pretty face was pale and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

The scolding suddenly became impossible to utter.

He recognized the spell.

That's the Flame Flash.

It is the most powerful, yet also the most painful and dangerous fire magic to cast.

If the control of fire magic is not deep, fire magic will not only bring great pain, but there is a high possibility that the caster will self-immolate.

And Mary, who had only learned fire magic for less than a month, couldn't possibly have a deep grasp of fire magic.

To a girl who endured severe pain and ignored her own life to save you...

Who can bear to say harsh words?
"I'll go inform the Demon Hunters and the Royal Guards that you're safe... They're about to engage in battle with the demon spirits."

Vesemir glanced at the two of them with a smile, then ran towards the warhorse that Arryn had left not far away.

This caused a flush to appear on Mary's pale, sickly cheeks.

However, she did not loosen her arms. Instead, she leaned her face against the witcher's chest and hugged him tighter.

It's like I'm afraid that if I let go, I'll lose him.

“Uh~” Vesemir rode back on his horse, looked at the scene and hesitated for a second, then said softly, “You better hurry up, there will be plenty of time after this is over…”

Then, without waiting for a reply, he rode his horse quickly to eliminate several demons nearby, and then galloped towards the direction of the Royal Guards and the Demon Hunters.

As soon as Vesemir said this, Mary let go of her hand instantly.

The whole face was flushed.

"I'll take you back first."

The witcher turned over and jumped onto the warhorse that Mary was riding, then reached out and pulled her up.

"Sorry!" the girl said in a low voice after sitting down.

The demon hunter sniffed the orange and chuckled, then shook his head: "You are not wrong."

"But please have more faith in me next time."

"Yeah." The girl nodded shyly, "I understand."

……

"Mayday King!"

"May Queen!"

The demon hunter brought Mary back to the magic ceremony, and the demon hunters who were returning along the way cheered as if they were welcoming a real king and queen. This made Ailin stunned and a little overwhelmed.

Mary blushed all over.

Where the two touched, the girl's smooth and delicate skin was burning hot.

Once you get to the place.

Mary immediately dismounted, not daring to look at Alin, and ran to the magic ritual, staring at the circle triangle of the ritual formation.

It seems as if you can see flowers from it.

Ailin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this scene.

Sometimes it is unrestrained, like a scorching flame that can melt steel, and sometimes it is suddenly restrained, like a mimosa.

Mary is a good girl, but unfortunately...

Thinking of the targeting of some of Kaedwen's nobles and Ban Ade wizards, as well as the Wild Hunt dropping bombs from time to time, the demon hunter sighed:

"This world is full of dangers..."

"When will people be able to settle down?"

At this time.

"Da da da~"

The sound of horse hooves interrupted the witcher's thoughts.

He turned his head and looked.

Behind Vesemir came the knights of the royal guard, galloping over.

When the witcher master approached, Ailin gestured with a puzzled look.

Vesemir glanced behind him and said:
"Although the demons all drifted far away in the opposite direction of Elland due to the cry of the one-eyed monster, at the same time, the attraction of the guards to the demons... was also eliminated..."

Ailin understood.

The aggro of the Demonic Tide has been reset.

The guards knights without ghost oil cannot attract many "followers" of demonic spirits.

"The Demon Hunters still have ghost oil, so we can still fight..."

"That's right, we only need a bottle of ghost oil to continue to destroy those damn monsters..."

Although Vesemir's words were very subtle, the guards could tell that they were no longer useful, and they all clamored to fight again.

Even Arthur, the officer of the Royal Guards, did not speak, but his stare at Vesemir did not stop the knights from getting restless.

"no need!"

Vesemir interrupted them expressionlessly.

He looked back at the tide of demon spirits and estimated the distance.

He glanced again at the ritual array under Vera, which was filled to the brim with almost no useful gaps.

"Ms. Vera's ceremony will be ready soon. Aelin and I can go."

"But, Ailin..." Arthur thought of the tall one-eyed monster, looked at the demon hunter in awe, and paused for a second, "Didn't Master Ailin just go through a big battle? Does he still have some strength left?"

Vesemir looked at Arryn when he heard this.

Ailin nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Not only was I not injured, to be honest, I didn't even have enough fun.

Balmer is too strong.

The demon hunter actually only struck three times with the sword, and the one-eyed monster, which still had no name, died.

It took a little while to follow the red footprints of Demon Hunter, but even so, the whole process took less than five minutes.

and……

The demon hunter glanced, out of the corner of his sight.

[Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit II (Kill Demon Spirit 0/300)]

For some reason, he had been thinking about the one-eyed monster since just now, and always felt that its last few roars were very important.

If the celestial spheres intersect - the demon spirit cannot summon similar monsters, he will have to slowly accumulate the hunting mission to kill the demon spirit.

Monsters like demon spirits are actually not easy to find.

So we have to take advantage of this opportunity to kill a few more.

"But with so many spirits, it's still too dangerous for just the two of you!" Arthur tried to persuade him again.

The guards behind him also responded.

Vesemir pulled the reins to straighten his horse, waved his hand and said:
"Night is not a battlefield suitable for you. Enough people have died tonight. There is no need for more to be sacrificed in vain."

Ailin squeezed the horse's belly, and while he was level with the witcher master, he glanced at the guard knight and couldn't help but sigh.

The Demon Hunter Master was right.

Although they had counted carefully, the line of the Royal Guards was now one third shorter than it was at the beginning.

That means at least fifty people died in the battle just now.

More than 70% of them died due to the terrain and darkness.

The Knights of the Royal Guards looked at each other when they heard this.

Depression.

Comrades who have been together day and night...

We were training together this morning, complaining about the quartermaster adding water to the milk for breakfast, and the comrades whose May Day holiday, which only comes once a year, was cancelled...

Now, no more...

And I will never see you again...

"Their sacrifice is worth it, it is just, it is glorious..." Arthur stared at Vesemir, his face flushed, and his voice was high-pitched, "They protected their homes from the monsters, and defended their loved ones and masters..."

"The golden oak table in the Kingdom of Cliff will be filled with sweet wine for them!"

"They will also watch us in the Kingdom of God, watching our glory and meanness, our cowardice and bravery, our victory and defeat..."

"But hiding behind allies and children..."

Child... Ailin was stunned when he heard the key words and looked at the guard knight.

Ally and child among children, referring to him?

"This is shameful. Our fellow warriors in the Kingdom of God, our lord, and our loved ones will be ashamed of this..."

Vesemir said nothing, but sat up straight involuntarily.

Arthur was being stared at by everyone, and after seeing that Vesemir was a little uncomfortable, he seemed to feel that his tone was a little too sharp.

He took a deep breath to adjust his mentality and said:

"Elland is our home. It is our duty to protect it, but you..."

"We are demon hunters, demon hunters of the Wolf School. We make a living from this." Vesemir smiled helplessly and glanced at Arryn. "Besides, I may not be able to beat the kid you mentioned..."

Arthur's tone froze when he heard this, but his expression remained firm, stubborn and resolute.

It seems to be saying...

Children are children.

Even if he can't win, no matter how good he is at fighting or how strong he is, he is just a kid who can fight.

The guards behind Arthur also clenched their swords, held their heads high and were full of fighting spirit.

It seemed as if their comrades were really watching them from somewhere.

at the same time.

There was also a commotion among the demon hunting army nearby. It was Sarah urging the soldiers to collect all the ghost oil quickly and not to hinder the friendly forces.

Seeing this, Vesemir could only shake his head helplessly:

"There's really nothing we can do with you stubborn horse-riding tin cans."

Arthur, who was always indifferent, curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and sat on his warhorse with his head held high.

He seemed ready to drink wine at the golden oak table with his fallen comrades in the glorious charge.

to be frank.

There was something to Arthur's irrational but inflammatory speech.

Not only were the guards ready to die, but Vesemir also tightened his reins, eager to give it a try.

Even Ailin was a little excited by this atmosphere.

I immediately wanted to cut something.

But at this moment.

A cold female voice sounded.

"Knight, Demon Hunter..."

"Please...please make way..."
