"Also, if I want to hurt you, I don't need to be nosy at all, do I?"

Hearing this, the blond woman carefully looked at Lu Qi's clothes and the big cage behind her, blinked her eyes, and then slowly lowered her bow.

"The devil knows who you are." Wiping the blood on her face casually, the blond woman bowed her back and inserted the arrow back into the quiver, "But thank you for saving me."

Only then did Lu Qi see clearly the young beauty of the blond woman covered by black ash and blood.

Seeing the girl walking towards a few horses beside him, Lu Qi couldn't help asking:

"You and your companion got separated?"

"Is it obvious? Blame those damned Nilfgaardians"

Before the girl finished speaking, Lu Qi's ears moved slightly, as if he heard something, his expression became solemn, and he interrupted her:

"We have to leave!"

"Us? Why?"

"If you don't want to see those annoying men in black, you can stay. But this time, I won't save you again."

After that, Lu Qi drove his horse into the forest slowly.

Looking at Lu Qi's back, the blond girl frowned slightly, thought for a while, and immediately shouted:

"Wait a minute! I can't leave these horses behind"

. . .

With Lu Qi's help, the blond girl finally led her companions' horses away from the road and came to a relatively safe forest.

"call"

After tying a few horses to a nearby tree, the blond girl turned around and saw Lu Qi putting the big cage on his back on the ground with a bang.

Seeing this, she blinked her eyes and wondered curiously: That cage weighs at least a few dozen kilograms, what is in it?

No, Lu Qi quickly answered this question for her.

Opening the cage, a little griffin the size of a pony came out of the cage with its wings tightly attached to its body.

The moment she saw this ferocious-looking beast, the blond female archer subconsciously drew her bow and arrow, aiming at it:

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"Don't be overjoyed.

"This strange smell is Regis?! Regis, is it you?"

"Yes, it's me."

Accompanied by a magnetic male voice, a thin man with a hook nose in a black robe came out of the darkness without a sound, "I'm still worried about you. But it seems that you are not alone."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Your companion?"

"Yes, he is one of them, and you may put away the sword."

Although he was a little wary of this silent man.However, Lu Qi still shrugged, and then put the steel sword back into its sheath.

"What happened to the witcher? Where's Dandelion? And the others? Do you know what happened to them?"

"I do know, but, it's a little tricky"

"What happened? Are they still alive?"

Before the man named "Reggis" could answer, Lu Qi, who was on the side, finally came to his senses and interrupted their conversation:

"Sorry to interrupt, I want to ask, do you know Geralt and Dandelion?!"

Chapter 545 Don't Wander Around the Battlefield

As soon as these words came out, two pairs of eyes immediately focused on him.

"You know them too?"

Nodding his head, Lu Qi shrugged, and then said, "It seems that we all have mutual friends."

Taking a deep look at Lu Qi, Regis, whose face was slightly pale, immediately said:

"Yes, our mutual friends are in trouble now. We must start at once, and we must be in Amelia by midnight."

"Amelia? You mean that fortress full of Temerian troops?"

"Yes, as for what trouble they got into, we'll talk about it on the road"

. . .

Wearing the stars and the moon all the way, the three of them drove their horses and galloped under the moonlight.

Soon, Lu Qi learned from Mirva and Regis how Geralt knew them and how he was brought to the Amelia Fortress by the Temerian army.

Regis was a hairdresser that Geralt and his party met when they came near a certain cemetery.

Since his hometown was in war, he didn't want to travel alone, so he joined Geralt's team and traveled south together.

Geralt, Dandelion, Milva, Regis, and a group of fellow dwarves were attacked by Nilfgaardians when they came to a refugee camp.

While screaming in horror, the crowd fled in all directions. This temporary team was separated at that time.

Later, the Temerian army also appeared, and while repelling the Nilfgaardian army, they also took the refugees and returned to the nearby Amelia Fortress.

Among them, naturally also include the witcher and the poet who had no time to escape

. . .

As the night grew darker, the three of them finally came to a small hillside near the fortress.

"Over there." Regis pointed to the flickering campfire not far away, "It is the Amelia Fortress, which is currently one of the Temerian army camps gathered in the Lower Soden area."

"That's where Geralt and Dandelion were held?"

Milva stepped on his stirrups and stood up straight, trying to see the whole fortress as clearly as possible: "That's troublesome. There are at least a few thousand soldiers there, and there are guards everywhere. It's not easy to sneak in."

Lu Qi, who was also looking at the entire fortress, didn't think so.

The strong and towering city walls, the dark night where you can't see your fingers, and the relatively complex but huge space, this fortress is simply the favorite terrain of assassins!

It is not a problem for him to sneak into the fortress and then leave without being discovered by anyone.

The problem is how to rescue the trapped Geralt and Dandelion so that they can leave safely.

Maybe, to create some confusion

Just when Lu Qi was about to reveal his infiltration plan, someone took the first step:

"You don't need to go in."

I saw Regis climbed off the horse neatly: "Leave it to me. Take the horses and wait at the place where the river shines. Have you seen it? Just under the brightest star in the constellation of Seven Capricorns, Chutra The river will join the Aina River there, and when I rescue the witcher, I will signal them to go that way, and you will meet there."

Hearing Regis' plan, Lu Qi frowned, looked at the man with a hooked nose and asked:

"I'm sorry, although it's the first time we met, I shouldn't be so rude. However, I can't shut up because of my curiosity. I am very interested to know, what do you have to do to rescue them from the camp of thousands of soldiers?"

"About this, I have my own way."

"Your method, maybe tell me, I can help a little?"

Regarding Lu Qi's doubts, before Regis could explain, Milva on the side first spoke in agreement:

"Alex, although I am also curious, but in this impossible thing, I trust him. To tell you the truth, earlier, I watched him take a piece out of the fire with his bare hands. "Burning Horseshoe"

"Oh, so you're a wizard?"

Shaking his head, Regis spread his hands, met Lu Qi's examining eyes, and said lightly:

"Is it really that important who I am and what method I use to rescue them? After all, I haven't asked about your origins and backgrounds."

Looking at his bottomless eyes for a while, Lu Qi suddenly raised his mouth and shrugged, "You're right, it's not important."

After staying on the hillside for a while, after the night became darker, Regis issued an order:

"Okay, it's midnight, let's act!"

. . .

Outside the fortress, in the center of the camp.

The witcher and poet who were tied up were locked in a simple firewood shed, lying sideways on top of shavings and sawdust.

Just when the poet fell into silence and the witcher was immersed in his thoughts about Yennefer, the badge of the Wolf Faction on his neck trembled.

Immediately afterwards, a strange smell of absinthe, sage, fennel, and an unknown combination filled the air.

"Reggis?"

"Reggis? Only he smells like this Where are you, I can't see you"

"Quiet!"

At the same time as he stopped the poet, the emblem also stopped shaking.

Then Geralt heard the bard let out a sigh of relief, followed by the hiss of a blade cutting the rope.

"Geralt." The vague and swaying figure of Regis formed beside the witcher, helping him cut the rope while whispering:

"You have to figure out a way to break through the guards of the camp yourself. Go east, towards the brightest star of the Seven Capricorns, all the way to the Aina River. Milva will wait for you there with the horse."

"The sentries at the gate are fast asleep, maybe they will"

"No, they won't. But when you leave, you still have to be careful. Tonight is a full moon, and there are firefly lights in the clearing. Thankfully, the camp is still busy, and the captain of the sentinel doesn't bother to check. Let's go, Good luck to you all." There was an inexplicable sense of stability in Regis's words.

"What about you?" asked the poet.

"Don't worry about me, don't wait for me, and don't look back."

"Can"

Before the poet could finish speaking, the witcher interrupted him: "Dandrien, he said don't worry, didn't you hear?"

"Go, see you next time."

After moving his tied wrists, the witcher just turned around, then stopped and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your help. However, it's better not to meet each other. Have I made it clear enough?"

"It couldn't be clearer, don't waste your time."

Leaving the woodshed, the two sentinels at the door were still soundly asleep, and even the witcher took off their cloaks rudely, and there was no response.

"This drowsiness is not normal"

"of course."

"I see, Regis is a wizard." The poet said suddenly.

"No, he's not a wizard."

"He can pull a horseshoe out of a fire and put a sentinel to sleep"

"Stop nagging, concentrate, we haven't escaped yet! Wrap up the cloak, we have to pretend to be stupid soldiers, let's go"

Crossing the clearing, rounding two sentry posts, hiding in the bushes and waiting for the patrolling cavalry to pass, no one seemed to notice them.

In the process of escaping, everything went very smoothly, which made people feel strangely smooth.

When they were about to leave camp, sneaking into a low, dark alder grove, their luck finally ran out.

Several Temerian soldiers with spears stood in front of them.

Just when the demon hunter and the poet thought they were surrounded by a large number of shouting soldiers, and finally could not escape the fate of being hanged, a figure that blended into the darkness suddenly appeared behind the soldiers.

shhhhhh!

Accompanied by the flickering cold light, the black shadow cleanly killed the four soldiers whose backs were exposed.

In an instant, the four of them turned into fallen corpses before they could even make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly mocking voice sounded:

"Didn't anyone tell you not to wander around the battlefield?"
