The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 144 Chasing Troops

When he entered the door, Leon felt something was wrong.

Although the boss concealed it well, Ron still showed an abnormal look, and he saw the boss's expression when he lied.

Apparently, Baron Crean not only sent someone to look for him, but he even told the innkeeper to report immediately once he returned.

Lyon thought about it and remembered that when he was on his way to Tegamo some time ago, he was chatting with Galio, the captain of the security team, and the other party mentioned that Baron Crean had the habit of making friends with wandering knights.

There are some wandering knights in Tegamo, and they are all friends of Baron Crean.

I think he went to gather these wandering knights and prepare to find them to deal with him.

Most of these wandering knights had noble ancestors, but by the time it came to their generation, they had lost their fiefdoms for various reasons and were forced to wander.

These people all have certain strength, otherwise they would have died on the road while wandering around. Some wandering knights would even switch to low-level professions such as bounty hunters.

"It seems that you don't trust your own soldiers. Are you planning to find wandering knights to deal with me?" Leon came to the backyard of the hotel, thinking as he walked.

He arrived at the stable, but didn't find his horse. He didn't know where Ron had taken it.

However, to his delight, he found a strong black horse in the stable, and judging from the color of the black horse's coat, its owner had raised it very well!

"It's exactly the same as my Sikori!" Lyon walked closer and looked at the dark horse with satisfaction.

He first cast an Axis sign on the black horse to calm it down, then put the saddle on it, led it and quickly left the Black Crow Inn under the cover of night.

Just as Leon expected, half an hour after he left, five knights wearing different types of armor rode on horses and held torches and galloped to the door of the Black Crow Inn.

The leading knight was a burly, round-faced man, wearing dark red armor. Under the light of the torch, the armor looked as creepy as solidified blood.

Not far behind him was the bounty hunter Forte.

Freddy grabbed Ron, who was sitting behind him like a little chicken, and got off the horse and asked, "Where is that bastard?"

Ron looked frightened and said in a trembling voice, "Inside...inside!"

The knight pushed Ron aside, opened the door and walked in, followed by the four men behind him.

Five people entered the hotel, and the people drinking in the lobby turned their heads. In an instant, the voices became much quieter.

The innkeeper quickly came out from behind the counter and trotted over to greet him.

The leading knight shouted to those around him, "Gentlemen, drink your wine!"

"Master Freddy, you are finally here, follow me quickly." The boss smiled flatteringly and led the way, "It's upstairs, he hasn't come down yet, I'll take you there!"

Freddy and his men followed the boss up to the second floor and stopped at the door of Room 206.

"Sir, please open the door. I'm here to deliver the hot water!" the boss knocked on the door and shouted.

But there was no movement in the house.

He knocked a few more times, but still no response.

"Get out of the way!" Freddy pushed the boss away and kicked him out.

Boom!

Boom!

With two kicks, the door bounced open to the sides, and the room was empty, with only moonlight shining in from the open window!

Freddy rushed in, only to see nothing.

You Qi was lying on the windowsill looking out, he raised his hand and shouted: "He escaped, there is mud on this windowsill!"

Freddy walked over and looked at the mud on the windowsill, which was still wet.

He looked at the trembling boss beside him with a dark face and said, "Is that how you watched? You didn't hear anything when everyone ran away?"

The boss panicked: "I didn't expect him to jump out the window! It was too noisy downstairs, I couldn't hear him!

Sir, I have taken his horse away. Even if he ran away, he can't run far. He is still nearby!"

When Freddy heard this, he immediately took people downstairs to check, and the boss also hurriedly followed.

"Damn witcher! My Angrum horse! I bought it from a merchant in Nilfgaard at a high price!" The boss was dumbfounded. He ran to the front of the stable, looked at the empty stable, and wanted to cry but had no tears.

He bought this horse at a high price, and it had a very fierce temper. He hadn't even tamed it yet, but the witcher had already ridden it away!

"Sir, you must catch that witcher, that damn bastard, the horse thief!" the boss cried.

"Get out of here!" Freddy said angrily.

Fort lost the witcher because the horse he rode was of poor quality, so he ran back two days ago. That's why they had their chance.

When Baron Crean found Freddy, he thought it was a very simple task. If he completed it, he would not only get a piece of land of his own, but also bring his family over.

What a noble desires most is to own his own land. What kind of noble is he without land?

But now, the demon hunter actually ran away!

"What should we do? We don't know how long that bastard has been gone. Maybe he has even run out of Tegamo!" One of his companions, a knight in dark green armor, said in a deep voice.

Freddy was silent for a while, then he turned to look at Forte and asked, "Didn't you follow him before? Even though you lost him, you couldn't have collected any information, right?

Now I order you to tell me everything you know about what the demon hunters have been doing these days!"

Freddy looked down on bounty hunters like Fort, as this kind of work was often involved in dirty jobs like assassination.

After all, he is a knight and a noble. How could he possibly associate with such people?

Especially when he learned that the bounty hunter Fort had lost his prey, he looked down on him even more.

This was absolutely ridiculous; he had never heard of such a lame excuse.

Freddy was sure that Fort was afraid of the witcher and did not dare to take action, so he ran back in shame.

However, this is also a good deal for them.

Forte suppressed his anger and thought to himself, "If my horse hadn't died due to a mistake, I would have killed that young witcher long ago! You guys wouldn't have had a chance to take care of it!"

However, he still counted on these people to help find Leon, as he still had some things to do.

So, Forte took a deep breath and told us his discovery.

Freddy frowned and said, "A mission? Looking for a missing child?

Yes, I heard that this is what demon hunters do, and what attracted him here must be the monsters that suddenly appeared recently.

Could this be the same thing?"

The people behind him looked at each other, and no one could answer his question.

Freddy said, “In that case, let’s go to these villages and maybe we can run into him.

Let’s go to the Gran Village you mentioned first. He will most likely go back!”

On the other side, Leon did not leave the town of Tegamo, but rode all the way to the Owl Tavern in the town.
