Chapter 8 8. No suspenseful choice
Let’s choose, teacher.
The halberd's charge and piercing cannot be resisted by armor, even if it is advanced armor such as school armor.
Even if you wipe the halberd's edge with your wrist armor and force it to change direction, it won't work.
Already too close.
If the blade is stabbed towards the torso, what difference does it make if it misses?
The blade of the halberd is wide and sharp. As long as an opening is made on the torso, at least two internal organs will be affected.
The heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys cannot remain intact.
You must use the blade to stop the thrust.
But at the same time, the alchemy bag cannot be saved.
The magic potions and alchemy bombs inside are your only hope to survive the next battle.
Two archers, a tough soldier with a long weapon, and one of your students - a witcher.
In addition to crushing the level after drinking the magic potion, You have to be physically strong to kill, or take out expensive bombs, otherwise you will definitely have no chance.
Lan En left traces along the way that could be followed by the law enforcement team, attracting them.
Three rounds of shooting have passed since the battle started, only about twenty seconds in total.
But Lan En has already completed the blockade of Bordon according to the changes in the battle situation.
Look carefully, in the young man's cat eyes, the calculations and possibilities are looming, just like a waterfall washing down from the pupils.
Lan En temporarily stopped investing in the computing power of [Analysis] and fully applied the potential of his brain cells to the current scene.
And his biological brain did accomplish the planned goal.
No matter which one you choose, Bordon has no chance.
He will die today.
Bordon himself immediately recognized this fact.
The extremely majestic body stiffened.
Most of the demon hunters of the Bear School have lost the ability to generate emotions. After they mutate, they spend the rest of their lives just running around trying to stay alive.
In past missions, Bordon has faced death more than once.
But every time he can use his calm mind to find the hope of survival, and then lift the monster's head to get his reward.
But in this situation created by human wisdom and murderous intent, at a critical moment of death before and after, this cold character made him at a loss.
What’s even more terrible is that Lan En’s hand is now bursting with magical light!
The Seal of Yaksi!
That was a technique that Bordon only used in front of Lan En and was never taught even once.
He never imagined that the other party had actually reached a level that could be used in actual combat.
The strong demon hunter's head suddenly became dizzy, and what was even more frightening was that - his confusion was intensified.
Faced with the fact that he cannot survive, his urge to die with an enemy is disappearing.
Because he couldn't hate it.
Even the instinct of survival was suppressed for a moment, and it was just this moment.
"Pfft-"
In the end, the halberd whose trajectory was adjusted by Lan En stabbed into Bordon's abdominal cavity.
Bright red bodily fluids splashed out.
Lan En himself rushed from under the Bear School's steel sword to his mentor's side, cutting the strap of the alchemy bag with his dagger as fast as lightning.
As soon as I reached out my hand, I caught it in my arms.
Bordon's hopes of a final comeback were lifted.
The moment the sharp blade invaded the body, even with the physique of a witcher, a feeling of powerlessness swept through Bordon's entire body in an instant.
He was pushed several steps by the halberdier, and did not stop until he hit a tree. Then his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground.
The nervous halberdier did not come back to his senses. He still gritted his teeth and held the long pole tightly and pushed forward.
Until Lan En walked up to him carrying the alchemy bag and placed his palm on his hand holding the long pole.
"Calm down, man. It's over."
He yelled as if he had just woken up from a dream, and began to gasp for air.
This process has been longer than the entire battle just now.
The two shooters also walked down the hillside from the commanding heights in the distance. The crossbowmen did not withdraw their strings, and the arrows pointed clearly at Lan En.
The long archer immediately ran to check on the sword and shield soldier who had fallen to the ground and stopped even screaming.
Under the questioning looks of the halberdiers and crossbowmen, he fiddled with his captain's eyelids and pulse, then shook his head.
Lan En was not surprised by this. The amount of bleeding just now was probably not even possible for the mage to save.
"Shit mutant freak!"
The Halberdier spat and cursed under his breath.
The Viren people are used to seeing death, especially professional soldiers, so there is nothing much to say except venting their fear of magic and mutants.
The halberdier took two steps forward with his boots on, trying to withdraw the halberd stuck in Bordon's stomach.
Perhaps the witcher's ability to survive is indeed extraordinary. This brown bear-like man is not dead yet, he is just sitting quietly.
A pair of cat eyes stared at his students.
But if he pulls out the halberd, the heavy bleeding will definitely prevent him from surviving for a minute.
Lan En looked at him without hesitation, and raised his hand to stop the halberdier beside him from pulling out his weapon.
The remaining three soldiers immediately became nervous as if their hair had exploded.
The crossbowman held the crossbow and the longbowman immediately drew the bow and aimed it at Lan En.
They have just seen the ability of a demon hunter, and real magic, using blood and lives.
And Lan En also happens to have a pair of cat eyes.
It’s hard not to make them nervous. The alliance between Lan En and them happened very suddenly.
"What do you want? Freak! Are you looking for death!?"
The crossbowman yelled fiercely, but Lan En could see that his finger on the trigger was shaking.
The halberdiers and longbowmen were the same, with angry expressions on their faces, but they were all swallowing their saliva.
Lan En stood sideways and turned to look at them quietly until their breathing calmed down.
After a long silence, Lan En spoke calmly.
"I only have a knife, gentlemen. And you, have two arrows on the string."
The three people all calmed down a little in their words.
Or, it is not words that calm them, but their own dominant position.
But Lan En tilted his head and spat out the next sentence, which caused the atmosphere to turn sharply.
"But can two arrows kill me?"
"Come and try! Freak! Hurry up and let me try!"
Faced with the spitting crossbowman, Lan En always had an expressionless face.
This makes the other party even more serious in appearance and weak in heart.
"Gentlemen, you have just witnessed the survivability and killing ability of the demon hunter. And you, a halberdier without a weapon, two only have one-handed swords, and you are standing five steps away from me. Shooters within. I want to take action, but you can’t last ten seconds.”
In fact, they could last at least one minute. Lan En was far behind his teacher in terms of physical fitness, equipment quality, and swordsmanship.
But Bordon shocked them so much that they were temporarily confused.
“I, we still have two arrows!”
“Yes, two arrows.” Lan En maintained his sideways posture and nodded.
“But if you want to kill me within ten seconds, you have to shoot me in the heart or head.”
Following Lan En's calm words, the eyes of the three people also moved to these two parts.
But then, the expressions of the two shooters became difficult to watch.
They are veterans, they know what is going on now.
"Yes, gentlemen. I am standing sideways, so if you want to shoot the heart, the arrow must go through the arm, three layers of cotton armor, one layer of skin, ribs, one It can't penetrate the lungs. Then I have time to kill you all after the arrow is hit, so you can only shoot in the head."
"And if the target is limited to a place as big as the head, even if it is. With a small knife, I am confident that I can block two arrows.”
The young man's arm holding the hunting knife has been raised to the side of his face, which is obvious.
——The position of the heart is left to you, and it is up to you to decide whether to shoot the crossbow. But I also explained clearly the consequences of those two arrows.
The words stopped, and the three Temerian sergeants on the opposite side clenched their cheeks.
The young man's expression was calm as usual, as if the terrible assumption about "death" he had just made about himself did not exist.
He suddenly smiled softly.
"So, we don't need to take things to that point, right? I just want to say something to my kind. It's obvious that he can't be saved. Even if the priests of Meritelli are present, he can't be saved. Isn't it? You can use this time to collect the body of this respectable soldier. He will be almost dead by then. You can just carry their bodies to the lord's castle to collect the bounty. We have seen enough blood today. More.”
The position did not change, but the atmosphere began to relax.
Maybe it’s because of Lan En’s smile, or maybe it’s because of the money Lan En mentioned.
The long archer's lips pursed for a while, then hesitantly spoke.
"You, you won't come with us? Your Excellency has issued three hundred and sixty orens for this murderer, that's..."
"That's a lot of money." Lan interrupted him and nodded.
“But everyone, let’s be honest, I owe you a favor, the favor of your entire team.”
“Although we are still showing our swords to each other, the fact is: you will kill me A respectable sergeant was rescued from the hands of my teacher."
"We have all seen how strong my teacher is, and I have absolutely no hope of escaping from his hands. "
"You are the law enforcement team sent by the lord, and it is your duty to arrest him. But life is precious, whether it is your duty or not, I must accept this life-saving duty. Respond. Especially since you have killed someone, I won’t take any of the bounty.”
The sincere words made the atmosphere more relaxed, and both shooters lowered their arrows slightly. In response, Lan En turned around and faced them head-on.
"People say that snake-eyed witchers are as emotionless as snakes. It seems that they are just slandering."
The longbowman put the arrow back into his quiver and pointed it at the young man. Nod.
The crossbowmen also withdrew their arrows.
“We appreciate your sincerity, but Captain Barron is a widower, and the bounty you gave up cannot benefit his family. Seriously, you should think about it again.”
"Forget it, everyone." Lan En smiled and shook his head, putting the dagger back into its sheath.
"I owe you this. If this sergeant has no family, then please use the reward money to give him a decent funeral. I think my life is better than three hundred Doolen is valuable.”
If you don’t repay the favor of saving your life, Lan En will look down on you.
The three looked at each other, and finally nodded towards the young man, leaving space for the two demon hunters.
At this time, Bordon's beard was already covered with pink blood bubbles flowing out of his mouth, which was the color of the blood in his lungs.
He still looked at his students.
Lan En, on the other hand, looked down at him and slowly squatted down.
"Finally we can have a good talk, teacher."
There is no need to hide it anymore, there is no need to let yourself become an iceberg anymore.
Lan Enxiao felt relieved.
