Chapter 1438 1410. Attack!
The workshop area at the base of Gos Velen's city wall was indeed on fire at this time.
But fortunately, it was already late at night and there were not many people in the workshop. Most of them went back to rest.
So when Gede arrived in a hurry, the first thing he was relieved was that there were no casualties.
Berengar, who is wearing the armor of the Advanced Wolf School, has organized the remaining people in the workshop to evacuate.
The workshops that caught fire inexplicably have become one.
The fire was burning inexplicably and was very abnormal. Because the production of Valyrian steel is inherently high-temperature work, the fire resistance of the building is excellent.
But tonight, a place that was supposedly incapable of being burned by fire suddenly burned down.
Thick smoke billowed up, and the black smoke mixed with the night. The trajectory could not be seen clearly, and only the choking smell could be smelled.
Gray soot is flying in the hot air, and people's skin is sore from the flames.
When Gerd arrived from the other end of the workshop area, he saw a group of dwarf craftsmen working the night shift gathered together. Each one was like a frightened bird, clutching his forging hammer tightly or shaping the hot metal. chisel.
It's like holding on to what little sense of security you have in this dark night.
Among the dwarf craftsmen, there are also two dwarves, a half-elf and two elves.
The performance of the human craftsmen on the other side was very different from that on the opposite side. The two groups of people looked at each other nervously in the shadow of the swaying flames. No one seems to believe anyone.
If there weren't two heavily armed demon hunters present, I'm afraid there would have been a fight between them.
Gede's hair, which was originally tied into a ponytail, was now scattered due to strenuous activities. Berengar's ape-like long face was also stained with many black marks of ash.
After the two demon hunters met, they both breathed a small sigh of relief. At the same time, they had already communicated with each other while making eye contact - this fire was not normal, and this night was not normal either.
Without saying a word, the two demon hunters immediately set about moving the group of craftsmen outside the workshop area.
But on this journey, it was not smooth.
Originally, Gede took the lead, and Berengar acted as the boundary between the non-human race craftsmen and the human craftsmen, and everyone urgently moved outside together.
But halfway along the way, a human suddenly jumped on Berengar's side.
The old demon hunter was already nervous and had already unsheathed the steel sword in his hand. This time he almost struck with his sword!
But he didn't react suddenly until the man jumped on him
"hidden!"
Berengar held the man's body and felt that the touch of his leather gloves was sticky and slippery. It was the blood coming out of the man's body!
He suddenly drank!
"Someone is shooting cold arrows! Keep them hidden!"
The smell of burning blinded the witchers' sense of smell, and the sound of the flames heating the air and burning combustibles was far louder than the sound of tiny arrows piercing the air.
Therefore, neither Gede nor Berengar immediately discovered the hidden arrow that was not directed at them.
"Hidden!" Gede also shouted in response,
And with a 'bump', an invisible shock wave burst out from his hand, temporarily extinguishing a small burning building on the roadside, making it easier for people to go in and take shelter.
But it didn't work. It doesn't mean that Gede's actions were delayed, or that his temporary decision-making was unsound.
Rather
"Fuck you! I knew it was the Scoia'tael! They want to kill us all!"
"These humans are crazy! Run! Or fight back!"
Starting with a man falling to the ground after being hit by an arrow, the trust that had been barely maintained by the demon hunters collapsed in an instant.
The human and non-human races, who were already tense due to the tense situation and the atmosphere of racial discrimination, suddenly encountered abnormal fires and hidden arrow attacks that must be man-made tonight!
In just a moment, the crowd collapsed!
The sound of killing, the hammer hitting the human body, and the blood spraying became a mess!
So even an ordinary person holding a short sword could easily catch the blow now.
"Berengar! Me."
Gerd was not rigid. He realized that because one hand was entangled, he was now at an uncontrollable disadvantage.
So without even a second's hesitation, the bear school demon hunter immediately wanted to shout for support.
But before he could finish his words.
The sneers of the enemies surrounding him were interrupted by the crisp sound of a long sword hitting a crossbow in the distance!
The enemy's offensive begins in an instant! Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, they all broke out together!
People here are entangled with Gede, and Berengar is not at all relaxed on the other side.
Berengar, who had not fought for a long time and was not particularly gifted in combat, was now sweating from his forehead protector.
This is a cold sweat of nervousness and a cold sweat of severe pain.
He barely managed to knock off a crossbow arrow that blended into the night under the flickering dim light, but this was already the limit of the old demon hunter.
At the same time, the second crossbow arrow hit the steel collar of his Advanced Wolf School armor, flying away with sparks, but the impact also penetrated into his neck.
Berengar only felt an unprecedented soreness in his cervical spine.
He estimated that the cervical vertebrae were somewhat misaligned.
There was also a crossbow arrow that pierced his thigh directly!
This area is a mix of woven cotton armor, rather than Valyrian steel external armor.
After all, there is a gap in defense between the equipment of the Wolf School and the Bear School due to their respective fighting styles.
The arrowhead was buried in the thigh, stirring and severing the muscles with the movement.
Berengar's cold sweat almost flowed down his eyes, but while he was half-kneeling with his sword propped on the ground, he intuitively felt that these people didn't seem to want to kill him.
But that's just him, others can die casually.
This made Berengar immediately understand what these enemies who appeared out of nowhere wanted.
The old wolf was holding his long sword, but his hand smoothly touched the hanging point on the armor, and he already had an alchemy bomb in his hand.
He planned to use the explosion of [Dancing Star] to try to open a way out for them.
But just when the old demon hunter was about to use the small spark from [Igni Sign] to ignite the bomb fuse.
"."
Suddenly, a cold and silent atmosphere suddenly appeared in this chaotic and manic place. There was a moment of silence that almost made everyone subconsciously.
"Dingling bell~"
As if far away in the horizon, echoes of ringing bells echoed faintly from a distance.
"bump!"
An explosion like the explosion of an alchemical bomb came from the direction of the ringing bell.
Then, one of the three people who were still besieging Gede a moment ago.
Huge blood suddenly burst out from his back!
The impact force appeared behind him, but it did not push him forward. Instead, his whole body shook as he had just raised the dagger, and he knelt down with his joints sore.
"bass!"
The deep and dark clothes creaked in mid-air, and a tall black figure was already standing behind the kneeling man.
Then, with everyone watching with splitting eyes, he slightly raised his right hand hooked into a claw and stabbed forward suddenly!
"Pfft!"
The amount of bleeding is simply unreasonable! It suddenly burst out from the lower back of the kneeling person!
Like a curtain of blood!
