The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

With the addition of Sylvia, Geralt and others also began to exert their strength, and the balance of the battle soon tilted in one direction. The knights led by Sylvia interspersed back and forth among the enemy lines, and all the enemies in front of them all Dead on the spot.

Every time Sylvia's raid can arouse the cheers of the caravan, and the morale of the caravan is also rising steadily.

In this case, the bandits realized that they had lost, so they instinctively made the decision to escape.

However, all those riding horses among them had already died in the hands of Sylvia, and the others could not escape the pursuit of the four-legged horses with two legs, except for a few people who fled into the woods and avoided Sylvia. Except for Via and the caravan guards, most of the others died on the way to escape.

When the last bandit who resisted desperately was hacked to death by several guards, the battle that lasted for about half an hour ended. Everyone didn't cheer at first, but looked blankly at the piles of corpses around them. Who made the head and shouted loudly, long live the Knight of Light! Long live the saint!

In an instant, everyone cheered loudly with all their strength, as if it was not enough to express their excitement at the moment without cheering loudly.

For the people in the caravan, it was already a miracle to survive the siege of so many bandits, but now they not only survived, but also wiped out those bandits, and even their own casualties were very low. Only two guards were killed in the battle, and three ordinary civilians were shot by arrows and killed on the spot. As for the others, they only suffered some injuries.

Such a battle result is unheard of, and it is enough to be called a miracle, and the person who brought such a battle result is the woman called the Knight of Light. They used to be skeptical about all the magical rumors about the Knight of Light. But now they have completely believed it, even cheering is not enough to express their mood at the moment, all kinds of praise words they can think of are used on Sylvia, even this is not enough to express one ten thousandth of their mood .

Looking at Sylvia surrounded by countless people, Cassirer couldn't help feeling envious, and said, "It's really enviable."

Angulane did not know when he came to Cassirer's side, and just heard Cassirer's self-talk, so he said: "If you can lead seven knights and kill hundreds of bandits, then you can also get Cheering from one to the other."

Cassirer didn't speak because he knew it was something he couldn't do in his life.

After Sylvia returned to the camp, she calmly accepted all kinds of words of praise and worship sent by the people in the camp. She knew that the previous battle of life and death had made their nerves tense to the extreme, and now that the battle was over, their hearts were accumulated. All kinds of emotions need to be released and vented, and now cheering for victory may not be a way to vent.

When Sylvia felt that it was almost the same, she raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said something like being honored to be able to fight with everyone present, and also thanked those wandering knights who had been closely following her in the charge , and then she ordered everyone to start cleaning the battlefield, taking care of the wounded and other things.

Although this kind of thing should be ordered by the caravan leader, but now she has become the backbone of the entire caravan, her orders are more useful than the caravan leader.

Soon the camp began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. First, mercenaries and bounty hunters checked the bandits lying on the ground. If they were dead, they would be handed over to other people to move them away.

Soon, several piles of corpses piled up not far from the camp. In order to prevent the corpses from attracting some bad guys, Sylvia ordered the village to collect firewood from each family, pile them up next to the corpses, and burn them. Drop it to avoid future troubles.

It wasn't until everything was done that Sylvia turned around and returned to her tent. At this time, Leo was flipping through a book, unaffected by the fierce battle outside the tent just now.

"I'm beginning to enjoy this kind of life!" Sylvia put down the helmet in her hand, and suddenly said without end.

Leo looked up at her and said, "Fight or cheer?"

"Both." Sylvia responded simply.

Leo was silent for a moment, and said, "I feel like we're going back soon."

"Going back soon?" Sylvia frowned.

Leo nodded, and said: "I have already sensed the location of the remaining pages of Ye Shen's sigh. If there is no accident, that Vigfortz is our target."

Sylvia didn't say anything but sighed slightly. She was used to the life here and enjoyed the glory she had gained, so she was a little bit reluctant.

Leo said in a deep voice: "If you want, we can stay here for a while."

"No need!" Sylvia shook her head and said, "Although the life here is good, it makes me feel unreal. It's better to go back to our own place."

Seeing what Sylvia said, Leo said nothing.

The night passed quickly. Although the caravan had experienced such a big battle last night, the caravan still had to continue on the road. People in the village had already found some clues from the dozens of noble guards, knowing that the attack last night was basically They came for them, and the people in the caravan saved the names of a village of them, so they were extremely grateful to them. When the caravan left, they gave all the tree hemp harvested years ago to the caravan.

Although the caravan leader is unwilling to accept these saplings, he also knows that this matter cannot be based on his own wishes. If these saplings are sold, it will not only provide enough compensation to the families of the two dead guards Jin can also give a generous bonus to the owner of the caravan, so she hesitated a little, and accepted the tree hemp, and reminded the village chief very seriously that it is best to hide in other places for a while, in case that Nobles do something crazy again.

The morale of the caravan who continued on the road was very high, and their spirits were also very excited. They still couldn't forget the battle last night. Many people even dragged the seven wandering knights who followed Sylvia last night to narrate the story over and over again. How Sylvia killed the enemy in the late period, some poets who followed the caravan on the road did not hesitate to compile it into poems.

On the next road, the caravan almost didn't go anywhere, and those poets would go to nearby taverns or squares where people gathered to sing those poems, proclaiming the bravery and strength of the Knight of Light.

The content they sang will naturally be questioned, but those poets will bring the doubters to the caravan to see the heads of the bandits that have been harvested.

There are many bounty hunters among the guards hired by the caravan. They are very familiar with the bandits who are hanging on the bounties, so when they cleared the battlefield, they easily found the leaders of the bandits. The bosses are all ruthless guys who have been hanging on the bounty for many years and have not been taken away. Almost anyone who pays attention to the bounty in the area of ​​Maiti knows these people, and their bounty is naturally high.

Originally, the bounty hunters planned to exchange these heads for bounty after arriving at the nearest town, but after the poet wrote a poem for the Knight of Light, they felt that these heads should not be exchanged for money, but should be exchanged for money. To demonstrate the glory and prestige of the Knight of Light, they sealed all these heads in a special way. Once someone does not believe the shocking achievements of the Knight of Light mentioned in the poem, they will take out the head. as proof.

So when the caravan marched to the city of Medina, Sylvia's reputation had already spread in the city of Medina, and everyone knew that the Knight of Light from the Principality of Toussaint had come to the Nilfgaard Empire. .

Many people came here especially for the fame, hoping to meet this legendary knight, but they were all in vain. It turned out that after the caravan left the plain of Magdela and arrived at the first big city, Fuzam , Sylvia and the others left the caravan and continued southward. According to the itinerary, they may have entered the vicinity of the Sylt River at this moment.

Although it is disappointing not to be able to see the legendary Knight of Light, in the poetic story, the seven wandering knights who followed the Knight of Light to kill the enemy are still in the caravan. As a guest, he was even recruited as a family knight by several nobles in Medina.

Geralt and the others didn't rule out what happened to the caravan after they separated from the caravan, but they knew that Sylvia's reputation in Medina was already very loud, and all kinds of stories about Sylvia could be heard everywhere. According to legend, even a lot of things that happened in Toussaint were far-fetched and put here in Medina by some good people.

"I think in the near future, these legends may promote you as the savior who prevents Hoarfrost from coming." After hearing an exaggerated legend about Sylvia in the tavern, Angulane ran back with a smile After leaving their temporary camp outside the village, they said to Sylvia who was reading with Leo.

Sylvia smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Cassirer, who went out to look for boats, also returned to the camp. They said that there were no suitable boats in the village, but they mentioned that they walked down the Sylt River and entered the Baron of Tarnham. I can see a bridge for people to walk together. Although the bridge tax is a bit high, there is no inconvenience caused by boats.

The next day, everyone obeyed the village's instructions and walked downstream along the Sylt River. After walking for about half a day, they entered the Barony of Tarnhan and at the same time saw the wooden bridge on the river.

Judging from the style of the wooden bridge, it should be a temporary bridge built by your empire to allow the army to cross the river. However, after the army passed by, the bridge was not demolished. Instead, it was used by the local nobles to strengthen the bridge. , and then set up cards at both ends of the bridge to collect taxes.

When Geralt and his party crossed the bridge, they ran into a little trouble. This trouble was mainly caused by Geralt, the demon hunter. For some reason, the local lord seemed to hate the demon hunter very much, which also made the people below hate him. The witcher didn't like him very much, so he stopped Geralt and they wouldn't allow him to cross the bridge even if he gave him money.

However, this matter was quickly resolved after Cassirer revealed his identity. The bridge tax collector knew very well that after all, Cassirer's family was a powerful and powerful family in the Nilfgaard Empire. Baron Enhan caused no harm or bad influence, but it was not a problem to deal with him as a bridge tax collector.

After crossing the Sylt River, Geralt and his party could feel more and more that the attitude of the people here towards the demon hunters has become worse and worse. Not only are the demon hunters not allowed to enter the village or town, they even They were unwilling to sell things like food to the witcher, and some good-for-nothings even provoked Geralt repeatedly, as if they wanted to deliberately get Geralt into trouble.

However, these matters were all resolved by Cassirer. Even if the local sheriff was provoked, the other party would not pursue too much because of Cassirer's identity.

On the second day after crossing the river, they came to a town called Claremont, which was bigger and more lively than the towns they had passed by before. Although the town was not set up next to the Nilfgaardian Empire , but because of the bridge over the Shilt River, many caravans traveling north and south will choose to detour here, which will save a lot of money.

Also because of the arrival of a large number of caravans, this town has become a mixed bag, and there are also some entertainment facilities that are not available in other places, such as the gladiatorial arena.

Compared with towns in other places, Claremont has a slightly better attitude towards demon hunters. At least they are allowed to enter the town and are willing to trade goods with them.

It is not very far from the final destination, Stiga Castle, and it will take about a day to arrive. Considering that there may be a tough battle after arriving at the castle, Geralt decided to rest and recuperate in Claremont today. Recharge your batteries, get ready for reorganization, and head to Stiga Castle tomorrow.

Everyone had no opinion on this, so they found a hotel in Claremont to stay.

In the hotel, Sylvia felt that she might be leaving tomorrow, so she asked Leo to accompany her for a walk in the town. Leo did not refuse, and agreed to Sylvia's request.

However, neither of them took off their armor, but found a cloak to cover their bodies. After greeting Geralt and the others, they walked out of the hotel and wandered around in this prosperous town.

Although the appearance of Leo and Sylvia's full body armor looks a little weird, but among the caravan guards traveling north and south, there are many people dressed in such weird clothes, so the locals just looked at them more. In the blink of an eye, I didn't pay too much attention to them.

However, some people saw the material and shape of the two armors from the gap in the cloaks, and they all judged that the two armors were probably two sets of very high-level armors, which made those people have some thoughts.

So, after the two wandered around for a while, several tails followed behind them.
