The Release That Witch

Chapters 65's

There had been several previous occurrences when the horn was blown. Each time, several dozen demonic beasts had attacked, mostly one after another, but each time the skilled militias were able to push them back.

So when Roland heard the horn sound once again, he did not panic. He calmly suspended training and sent Wendy and Lightning back to the castle to rest. He orders Anna to protect Nana, who is going to the medical center to wait for the arrival of the wounded soldiers. Roland himself rushed to the wall with Nightingale.

Unexpectedly, when Lightning heard Roland's orders, she began to protest, "Although I am already an experienced explorer at the western border of the continent, I have yet to witness a large-scale attack by a demonic beast! If I don't seize this opportunity, I don't deserve to call myself an explorer anymore. So, please, Your Majesty, allow me to travel with you! "

Roland did not hesitate in the slightest to reject the young mage's request and told Wendy to make sure that Lightning would behave properly. After all, they were not allowed to lose time when a swarm of demonic beasts attacked.

Then, he looked at Nightingale and asked if she was ready to leave. He nodded, held Roland's hand, and brought him into the fog with himself, moving straight towards the wall - once he knew that Nightingale could bring the other objects he was in contact with along with him into the fog, Roland was instantly enamored on this kind of journey. In the fog, they could walk through obstacles and ignore the terrain. They were able to cross several meters by one step, so a trip like this was a lot of fun.

When they arrived at the foot of the wall, Roland found a corner where no one could see him and stepped out of the fog to walk into the scene alone. Looking into the distant wilderness, he could only see the white world instead of the expected invasion of the huge demonic beast. Is this a false alarm? He could also feel the confusion coming from the direction of the militia, which had taken a defensive position.

When the Prince finally found the Iron Axe, Roland saw that he had a serious expression as he gazed into the distance with his hand tightly holding the horn.

When Roland arrived beside her, Roland immediately asked: "Are you sounding the alarm?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you know ..." The sound of the Iron Axe was much drier than usual, "That guy came."

That guy? Roland looked carefully at the direction pointed by Iron Axe. There in the distance, he could see a faint black dot that was barely visible even in front of a pure white background, extremely difficult to see. The rule was that only if it was decided that the patrol could not solve the problem, they were allowed to honk. Knowing this, Iron Axe as an experienced hunter must have his own reasons.

"It's a hybrid species," Iron Axe had to swallow and calm himself before continuing, "The last time I met this bird was six years ago."

Is this really a hybrid species? Roland frowned. Theoretically, the evil monsters would attack Longsong Stronghold until they were all dead - lacking intelligence, the ferocious beasts had no concept of retreating in their minds. The defense of Longsong Fortress was never broken, but this hybrid beast not only survived, but could even live after six years? Thinking about what this meant, Roland was able to detect a faint feeling of foreboding in his heart.

However, the demon beast was so far away that Roland could only vaguely see a black dot while the Iron Axe could clearly distinguish the type of demonic beast. Iron Axe's vision must be truly extraordinary. Perhaps he misinterpreted it, the Prince thought expectantly.

The demonic beasts didn't make Roland wait too long, immediately starting to move closer to the wall, allowing each person to see a unique body.

It didn't have a large body like the previous hybrid beast had, but instead, it looked like a great version of a cat at first glance. However, on its back, it had a pair of wings covering its body on both sides as they weren't spread out.

His head looked like it was a lion, but with the addition of a pair of eyes - if those extra eyes were weren't for decoration, then wouldn't ' t needs to turn his head to see any movements made in the area on his back .

Carter and a few hunters have put their flintlocks in and are preparing to take on the challenge.

However, the Lion Hybrid did not 't attack directly, but instead of stopping outside the crossfire field of arrows, carefully take in everything.

That distance stopped being within the effective range of their flintlock, but the chances that the first ointment would hit were almost zero.

Seeing all this, Roland's heart started pounding. It was like a nightmare coming true. It had observed its enemies and assessed their strength, detecting and attacking their weaknesses, proving that it had high intelligence - which was previously a weakness of demonic beasts. They sometimes attack the weakness of their prey, but it is an instinct honed by many generations over thousands of years. When facing an unknown opponent, they would not judge or even more, attacking their target after a long analysis.

What does it mean to have intelligence? Humanity relies on its extraordinary brain with an uncanny ability to rise to the top of the food chain from the life of a newborn prairie. For now, Roland did not dare to ponder on it. Instead, he waved his hand, and told the Knight Chief, Iron Axe and his hunters to follow him to shoot down the demonic beast.

It rushed towards the unmanned segment and jumped straight up the wall, easily leaving the wall behind it, and ran straight towards the residential district, ignoring the entire team of hunters as if they were nothing.

"Naughty-looking!" Roland shouted loudly, "The second militia team went to the wall and temporarily defended the wall. The first team will come with me!"

At the moment, the new team does not have enough time to train. With this move, he could take them away from the battle, but if the demon monster returned, they could attack it separately. Carter led the guards to follow the prince. They are the group with the strongest individual strength and are ready to face the enemy at any time. Behind them follows Iron Axe who leads a team of hunters equipped with weapons. After entering the old area, they could not 't see very far because their view was blocked by the houses. With the narrow snow-covered road, they had to be careful and restrict their actions. Hoping to find traces of those demonic beasts, Roland was afraid of no other possibility but to disperse his team into many small teams and let them walk the streets.

He regretted that he didn't let Lightning follow them. If he had a magician who could investigate the situation from the air, he wouldn't need to divide his team and send them in all directions.

After searching for about ten minutes, they suddenly heard some townspeople shouting from inside an alley.

Changing their direction, the team quickly advanced towards the source of the sound. Since most of the militias were people from the old district, they soon found their way through many small streets, making it seem as if they were walking around in their backyard. Finally arriving at the source of the voice, Roland saw a man bitten into two pieces with his internal organs scattered all over the ground, clearly dead.

"Oh my God .. This is Iron Fork, I know him!" someone shouted.

"Damn, which way is he running?" ask the others.

"Look! The beast was there!" Suddenly someone shouted. Shortly after the voice fell, a dark shadow swept over from the house on the right side. Accompanied by debris from scattered wood, he flew directly through the wooden walls of a hut and directly attacked the first line of militia, scavenging and biting them.

Iron Axe was the first to react. He wanted to shoot the beast with his weapon, but he found that his sight was blocked by other militia members. Trying to get the right opportunity to shoot, he slipped among the crowd and walked step by step towards the hybrid species. Other hunters also found that they had similar problems and took their weapons under their arms before jumping onto the roof or climbing on the roof.

Hybrid species didn't care about the people approaching. It spread its wings, stood on its hind legs and began to shake the soldier it had bitten, spurting blood everywhere. Seeing this scene made the crowd panic, causing the crowd to retreat in fear. When the hybrid species gets space, it tries to jump, but at that moment a shot hits it.

Suddenly, several black flowers bloomed in the monster's fur.

The hybrid species that was hit by several lead balls roared furiously, threw its prey into its mouth, and jumped towards the hunters on the roof. When a demonic beast appeared above the crowd, it came straight to Iron Ax's view, which quickly raised its gun and aimed at the beast in front of it and pulled its trigger.

It's almost impossible to miss a shot this close. It was even so close that gunpowder entered the nose of the demonic beast. The speed of the bullet wasn't reduced because it went straight through the target's eyes and penetrated his brain.

The body of the demonic beast stiffened and suddenly fell to the ground.
