With the cavalry attached, more than a hundred people in total left Fergus Castle in a mighty manner and headed towards Giethoorn.
Along the way, it attracted a lot of gazes, and it was unknown how many of these gazes were spies from other families.
More than two hours later, they arrived at Giethoorn.
"Father."
Seeing Viscount Fergus, Gray and his entourage arriving, Bernal immediately led his soldiers to greet them.
"Well, you worked hard this time!"
Viscount Fergus looked at Bernard with satisfaction.
"Master Bernal is looking more and more like the young Viscount!"
Baron Ricardo boasted with a smile.
"Uncle Egbert, thank you. I'm just stationed here. Compared with my father back then, I'm far behind."
Bernal looked modest, but it was obvious that he was in a good mood because of the compliment, and he continued.
"Father, a total of seven soldiers died in the Red Leaf Forest this time."
"Um."
Viscount Fergus glanced behind Bernal. There were originally more than 20 soldiers, but now there were only a dozen soldiers left. His expression remained unchanged and he spoke.
"My promise will not change. All of you will be rewarded with three gold coins. When I die, I will also give the reward to their families."
"Thank you, Lord Viscount!"
The remaining ten or so soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, with excitement on their faces.
He was happy that he had survived, and he was also excited that he was about to get an unimaginable huge sum of money. At the same time, he was also a little sad for his dead companion. After all, he was a companion who had been with him day and night for so long, and he died just like that.
"Seven dead!"
Looking at the dozen or so soldiers with excited faces, Gray felt mixed emotions, with both regret and sympathy for the lost lives.
The common people in this world are even more unlucky than he was in his previous life. Although he did not live as he wished in his previous life and did not have luxury cars or mansions, his life safety was still guaranteed.
But in this world, not only life safety cannot be guaranteed, life is openly equated with money and measured by money. For only three gold coins, one is willing to gamble one's life. It is conceivable that this world the hardships of civilian life.
Viscount Fergus obviously didn't feel much about the death of these seven soldiers, he said aloud.
"Let's go, do it as soon as possible!"
"yes."
Everyone responded, and their eyes basically did not stay on the dozen or so soldiers behind Bernal.
Except for Gray, no one feels sorry for these lost lives. Using money to measure civilian lives is the norm and the rule of this world. They have become accustomed to it.
More than a hundred people tied their horses in Giethoorn, entered the Red Leaf Forest, and headed towards the lake in the Red Leaf Forest.
Along the way, they were extremely careful and tried not to make too much noise, so as not to alert the cold tiger female animal in advance.
When they were about to get closer, the ordinary soldiers were told to stop moving forward and watch from a distance, while Viscount Fergus, Gray and other people with the lowest strength and low-level blood warriors continued to grope their way over.
The reason why these soldiers were brought was not to let them participate in the siege of the blood beast, but to be on guard against other members of the Viscount family who might appear, just in case.
One-on-one, soldiers are no match for a blood warrior, but if they fall into the siege of soldiers, even a blood warrior will be hacked to death, unless the blood warrior is covered in copper skin and iron bones.
Of course, even Gray, Bernal, and Ellis were not counted among the people surrounding Han Hu by Viscount Fergus.
Even the average blood warrior strength would not be of much use when encircling and killing ferocious blood beasts like Hanhu. They were brought here just to give them some experience.
Soon, a lake with a slightly light green color appeared in Gray's field of vision.
Looking around, he soon found Han Hu's lair not far from the lake.
In the lair, the cold tiger, which was two meters long and extremely wide, was eating something. Judging from the animal's skeleton, the animal was at least one meter long.
She must have just given birth, her body is extremely weak, and she is eating a lot to replenish her strength.
Next to it, a small cat-like animal was crawling and sucking in its lower abdomen.
This small animal is more than 20 centimeters long and has white fur all over its body. There are black lines in the white fur. If it were in another place, it might really be mistaken for an ordinary white cat.
"Do it!"
Viscount Fergus gave instructions to the four Baron Ricardo, and then slowly lurked towards the lair.
"yes."
Baron Ricardo and the four others responded silently and then hurriedly followed.
Gray, Bernal, and Ellis did not follow. They still stayed in place to observe the cold tiger and the cold tiger cubs. They were not able to interfere in the following battle.
However, the three of them were a little excited, not only for the cold tiger cubs they were about to get, but also for this rare high-level battle.
"Brother, do you think father and the others can succeed?"
Ellis asked slightly nervously.
"Definitely."
Bernal said with certainty.
"The cold tiger has just given birth to cubs and is very weak. Even the father alone is probably sure to kill it, not to mention the four high-ranking blood warriors of Baron Ricardo."
Gray said nothing and kept his eyes fixed on the direction of Hanhu's lair. He agreed with Bernal's words.
It shouldn't be a big problem for a fierce blood warrior and four high-level blood warriors to surround and kill a cold tiger whose strength has been greatly weakened due to the birth of cubs.
Gray unexpectedly had no sympathy for what happened next to the cold tiger female beast.
Blood beasts are extremely ferocious beasts. They feed on flesh and blood, which includes not only animals but also humans. At least 100,000 people in the Purple Moon Kingdom die from attacks by blood beasts every year.
And this is already a relatively small number of casualties. In the history of the continent, a long time ago, humans were once reduced to the blood of blood beasts.
That was an extremely dark history. Human beings at that time were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They had no ability to resist in front of the blood beasts. They didn’t know when they would become the food of the blood beasts, and they didn’t know when they would become food for the blood beasts. They didn’t know if they would be able to survive after sleeping. Can't wake up.
Knowing such history, it is difficult for Gray to sympathize with blood beasts. Blood beasts feed on humans, so why can't humans hunt blood beasts
Ouch—
Just when Gray was thinking about this, a deafening roar suddenly sounded. Gray quickly looked around and saw the cold tiger female standing up vigilantly, revealing its bloody mouth and looking in one direction with bared teeth.
Viscount Fergus and the others were discovered!
Then, Han Hu was seen leaping five or six meters away in the direction of Viscount Fergus and the others.
"Get away!"
Gray heard the loud warning from Viscount Fergus, and then saw a long cyan sword slashing through an unknown red-leaf tree, and rushed towards the cold tiger's claws.
clang-
The cyan long sword collided with the sharp claws of the cold tiger, and it actually made a sound like gold and iron clashing. Things that were obviously grown from flesh and blood were as hard as metal.
Bang bang bang!
Viscount Fergus was knocked back several steps by the collision of Han Hu's huge body, but he immediately rushed towards Han Hu with his sword.
The power of blood was not only poured into his hands and feet, but also into the cyan sword in his hand. As a fierce blood warrior, the power of blood was already quite strong and could be used as a regular fighting method.
The strength of the hands that were poured into the power of blood was not great, it could only be said to be better than nothing. The blood method he practiced was derived from the wind wolf, and the wind wolf was not good at strength.
However, his speed has increased significantly. After all, the speed of Wind Wolf can be ranked at the top of all ferocious blood beasts.
Moreover, the cyan color on the surface of the cyan sword that has been infused with the power of blood seems to be even worse.
Uh-huh!
Viscount Fergus quickly appeared on Han Hu's side and slashed at Han Hu's neck with his sword.
puff!
At the critical moment, Han Hu raised his right front paw to block the sword that was slashing towards his neck. However, a deep scar appeared on his right front paw. Cherry-red blood dripped down, and the thick fur on the surface was no longer there. Didn't give it much protection.
There are reasons why Viscount Fergus is a ferocious warrior and powerful, and there are also reasons why Viscount Fergus's cyan sword is a magic weapon and has the ability to enhance the sharpness of the weapon.
Puff puff puff puff!
At the same time, the four Baron Ricardo touched Han Hu's back and struck at Han Hu with all the weapons in their hands.
A wound was also left on Han Hu's body, but compared to the huge wound left by Viscount Fergus, it was much shallower.
Ouch—
The injury made Han Hu go crazy. The tiger's mouth opened wide, and a ball of white cold air appeared and crashed towards Viscount Fergus.
The branches of the trees encountered along the way were all covered with a layer of frost, which showed how low the cold temperature was.
"careful!"
Gray, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but exclaimed, but he quickly put down his worries, because before the white cold air approached, Viscount Fergus had already used his speed to avoid it.
Not only that, after dodging, he struck out with a "wind blade", stopping Han Hu from turning around and attacking Baron Ricardo behind him.
puff!
Han Hu was injured again, and this time the injury was more serious than all the previous injuries combined, because it was caused by the "Wind Blade", the strongest method currently available to Viscount Fergus.
"Stable!"
Seeing this scene, Gray was basically sure that there should be no problem for the five Viscount Fergus to surround Han Hu.
What happened next was just as he expected. Han Hu's injuries became more and more serious, and his movements became slower and slower. He used "cold energy" twice in succession, but Viscount Fergus dodged it with his speed.
Ouch—
Finally, with a howl of pain, Han Hu collapsed completely and fell to the ground, leaving only the strength of twitching.
However, just when everyone was ready to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, from the red leaf forest not far away, six figures quickly sprang out and headed straight for the cold tiger's lair.
The timing was extremely delicate. It happened to be that the female Cold Tiger had just died, and the soldiers did not dare to get too close because the female Cold Tiger was too dangerous. There was still a long way to go from the Cold Tiger's lair.
If the female Cold Tiger was not dead, and they tried to snatch the cubs from the Cold Tiger, they would inevitably cause the female Cold Tiger to attack in a frenzied manner. This was also the time when Gray and others did not take advantage of Viscount Fergus and others to surround and kill the Cold Tiger. , the reason for taking away the cold tiger cub.
And if soldiers from afar came over and surrounded them, even with their strength, they would definitely be overwhelmed by more than a hundred elite warriors.
