More than a dozen hunting dogs are tracking the scent of the witcher.
Behind them is a large group of witch hunters, at least eighty or ninety people. The Church of Eternal Fire has transferred almost all the witch hunters that can be mobilized nearby.
Behind the witch hunters were some heavily armed church knights. It was a little difficult for them to lead their horses because the dense forest was inconvenient for movement, and many of them were wearing full-body armor. If they encountered a place with stagnant water, When one foot stepped down, the entire sole of the foot sank into the mud.
They were advancing at a furious pace, much slower than the witch hunters who were only equipped with light armor.
Further away, many people could be seen coming, some of them on horseback, preparing to go around from behind and cut off the witcher's retreat.
This assassination operation made the Church of Eternal Fire feel like an enraged tiger. They had always been the only ones to hunt down witches and demon hunters, but when did they get plotted by witches and demon hunters.
Not long after the battle in Lunde ended, Column was immediately set on fire by the demon hunter.
The higher-ups of the Church of Eternal Fire were furious and prepared to crucify these demon hunters in the temple square to maintain the dignity of the entire church.
The darkness provided some cover.
But there are too many people being hunted by the church, and it is only a matter of time before the witch hunters find their traces.
Under a lush old tree.
Fantersin sat down panting, with a very painful expression on his face, and whispered: "I'm about to die. You go first. Go over the mountain from here and go to the south. Freya's priests will help you."
The hook-nosed man squatting next to him did not speak. He just stretched out his hand to untie his bandaged wound and poured some light red powder on the wound. There were scars left by crossbow arrows. The hunter who died in this operation Demons are basically killed by crossbow arrows. The Raven School is also equipped with heavy armor. Fan Tesin was a little lucky and was not pierced in the lungs by the crossbow arrow.
"Stop talking nonsense." The strong man with the wolf head emblem next to him picked up Fan Tesin and said in a deep voice: "Go to the valley over there."
"We have to give them some color."
The barking of hunting dogs could be heard in the distance, and some witch hunters were about to catch up.
Probably more than ten minutes later.
Two teams of witch hunters appeared nearby. They looked at the footprints left on the ground and said solemnly: "Two people were seriously injured. They went over there."
"Hurry up!"
More than twenty witch hunters advanced quickly, with a large fire behind them. The knights of the church gave up their horses and all chose to advance on foot. They were almost catching up.
A small valley appeared in front of us.
The witch hunters looked at the messy footprints on the ground and said excitedly: "It's right in front, they want to go up the mountain!"
The Church of Eternal Fire has offered an extremely high bounty.
In addition to these witch hunters today, there are also some bounty hunters who are also tracking Van Tesin and his party, but their news is slower, so they can only find ways to take detours and block their way back.
Click.
At this moment, the crisp sound of a glass bottle breaking suddenly came.
In an instant!
A piece of oppressive frost appeared on the ground. This frost spread quickly and enveloped all the witch hunters in the blink of an eye. They froze in place motionless, and in one breath they turned into a tower. A humanoid ice sculpture.
Click click click.
There was a continuous sound of shattering, and the twenty or so witch hunters were like smashed ice sculptures, turning into pieces of frozen flesh and blood.
"Where did you get it? It's so powerful!" the demon hunter from the Griffin School whispered.
The old viper took a breath and said with difficulty: "The little bit of wealth left by the Viper School. This is the last bottle."
"careful!"
"Someone is catching up again."
Outside the valley, more than a dozen hounds stopped and whimpered. No matter how hard they were driven, they would not take a step forward.
They seem to be afraid of something!
The witch hunters looked at each other, each drew their weapons and pressed forward. After seeing everything in front of them clearly, many people couldn't help but gasped, because in front of them were pieces of flesh and blood on the ground, all of which were frozen. Turned into ice slag, they did not see a living person, not even a complete humanoid outline.
"Attention! They're nearby."
A witch hunter who looked like the leader said: "Go and notify those church knights to come over! These people are a little troublesome!"
"They're here!" came a shout.
Then there was the sound of drawing swords, some witch hunters were reloading their crossbows, and shouts were heard not far away, as the knights of the church were quickly arriving.
"Ready to fight."
The strong man wearing the wolf head emblem lowered his head and kissed the blade of his sword. His eyes gradually became firm and he said solemnly: "I'm glad to fight side by side with you all!"
After saying that, he took the lead to face the witch hunters.
A bloody and tragic battle broke out in an instant on a path up the mountain. The demon hunter chose his position very cleverly and could also rely on rocks to avoid shooting. However, their number was still too small, and they were at an obvious disadvantage when facing several times the number of enemies. In the distance, there were knights from the church approaching.
Ahem.
Lev waved his sword with both hands and cut off the head of the witch hunter in front of him. Then he coughed out a trace of blood. He reached out and pulled out the crossbow arrow from his chest. This giant man who looked like a brown bear was hit by at least seven or eight arrows. If not, The Xiong School's physical endurance is amazing, and he is also wearing strong armor. At this time, he may have collapsed long ago.
"No need to stay alive!" A cold male voice came from afar.
During the short battle, the witch hunters suffered a lot of casualties, and almost every one of the demon hunters was injured. If it weren't for their rich fighting experience, some of them might have fallen long ago.
As these words fell, the witch hunters in front began to retreat, and some people took out strange bottles and jars.
"Be careful! It's alchemical fire oil!" Old Viper shouted.
Rumble.
The leading Wolf School demon hunter blocking the intersection was instantly swallowed up by an explosion of flames. Lev's brown bear-like figure was also blown away, lying on the ground spitting out streams of blood. The alchemical fire oil made by the Eternal Fire Church is very powerful, far more powerful than the one made by the Demon Hunter.
Witch hunters and church knights swarmed up again.
The surviving demon hunters gritted their teeth and climbed up, facing the enemy with weapons in hand, preparing for the final battle.
But right now.
boom!
Suddenly there was a dull gunshot, and the next second the church knight who gave the order seemed to be torn apart as if it exploded.
A piece of blood was spilled.
Lines of fire appeared in the sky, and accompanied by the howling wind, fireballs fell from the sky!
