The Witcher: Darkness Falls

It is mid-April and the weather has already warmed up.

It took Lyon a month and a half to travel through Medina.

It would take him about half a day to reach the city of Neverredna on the south side of the Yelena River, and then take a boat into Toussaint and head to the capital, Beauclair.

According to Lyon's estimation, it wouldn't take long to cross Metina, maybe a month at most.

The reason why it took an extra half month was because the journey was not smooth.

He encountered many goblins and their mutant monsters in Medina.

The number of these monsters in Medina was far greater than those he encountered in Ebin, and Medina also sent out troops to eliminate these monsters.

As a demon hunter, he was inevitably recruited by the city lord, although he could refuse.

However, the reward offered by the other party was very generous, so he had no reason to refuse.

The goblins and their mutant monsters have caused a lot of casualties in Metina, but because the Nilfgaard Empire had been notified in advance and the large villages were well prepared, most of the losses were not serious.

The key is that those small villages are understaffed and have leaks from all sides, making it impossible to form an effective defense.

Goblins usually appear in large numbers, so these small villages are in dire straits, and many are directly massacred!

It seems that the monsters released by the True God Cult have begun to reproduce.

The farther away from the city of Nilfgaard, the greater the impact seems to be.

Leon had participated in several extermination operations as a mercenary. As a demon hunter, he had strong tracking ability and was familiar with the route, so he helped to eliminate several large goblin nests.

His income this month was more than half of all his previous tasks combined, and all of it was paid out in the form of gold or silver coins.

More monsters are certainly a good thing for demon hunters, although this goes against the original intention of those who created them.

However, a large number of monsters that could threaten human survival were cleared out, and the demon hunters became unemployed.

Early demon hunters would also undertake some missions of escorting caravans, or form legions and become professional soldiers.

But as the witchers later participated in political assassinations, acted as assassins, and accepted murder commissions, their reputation became increasingly bad due to the propaganda of the nobles.

Coupled with the internal struggles among the demon hunters, the number of demon hunters has become increasingly scarce, and they have become a product of the times.

But now, there are more monsters. Although each one is not strong, they can reproduce very well!

There are so many of them that we can’t kill them all.

Unless all major races can unite, just like the elves and dwarves once joined forces, and are determined to wipe out the goblins from the ancient continent.

But this is simply impossible. The human countries alone cannot unite, let alone unite other races?

A fantasy.

Lyon rode his horse and galloped north.

"From what I saw in the sewers of Nilfgaard City, there seemed to be other monsters. I wonder when the True God Cult plans to release them." He thought to himself.

There must be more than one kind of monsters bred by the True God Cult. Although goblins reproduce quickly and in large numbers, the combat effectiveness of a single goblin is not high.

Moreover, it seems that there are not as many variants of goblins as the main goblin race, which means that the fertility rate of the variants does not seem to be that high.

He encountered only a few powerful individual mutants like the hobgoblins, so they could not form a large number in a short period of time.

In other words, even if the goblins become rampant, they will no longer be a threat after humans react.

At worst, the ruler could order the human villages to be gathered together as much as possible, send out troops from time to time to exterminate the goblins, or even organize the villagers to exterminate the goblins themselves.

Humans have a strong ability to adapt. When they treat goblins as regular monsters or even hunt them as wild beasts, it will be useless no matter how many goblins reproduce.

On the contrary, it would be more effective if we continuously add new monsters.

At that time, the True God believers will save people in the name of God, and then take the opportunity to spread the True God religion, perform miracles, and prove that they are the nemesis of monsters.

After all, the monsters created by the True God Church have an absolute fear of holy light, and this should be a special setting of the True God Church.

The principle is unclear, and apart from the True God Church, not many people know about this person.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, the True God Cult is the natural nemesis of monsters. They transform and stand there, and the monsters run away.

It was like an angel descended from the sky, carrying God's decree specifically to drive away the monster.

Leon could imagine the scene where the monsters would flee in all directions once the Holy Light Knight transformed.

Soon after, churches of the True God Church were established in various places and flourished everywhere.

He remembered that when the cardinal went to Grampian, he seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to build a church, but their purpose was destroyed by himself.

However, when the news spread that the church could withstand monster attacks, even the Nilfgaard Empire had to build such a church, even though the emperor knew everything.

The emperor knew it because he knew the reason, but others did not.

In order to consolidate their own positions, local lords will inevitably be swayed by the will of the people and disobey the emperor's orders.

After all, at the critical moment of life and death, nothing else matters to the people in order to survive.

What's more, the political center of the Nilfgaard Empire, the city of Nilfgaard, is too far to the south, and the Nilfgaard Empire is so large that it is out of reach.

At least in the territory of Medina, he had seen several missionaries operating openly, and he had killed several of them secretly.

Those who deserve to be killed must be killed. He doesn't think of himself as a good person.

Anyway, he and the True God Church are already at war to the death, so now that they meet, he won't be polite.

His current strength is no longer comparable to that in Nilfgaard City. It is easy for him to kill ordinary missionaries.

Missionaries are less powerful than defenders in combat, but they have strong defensive capabilities.

However, the few he encountered were too low level and could not defend against him at all.

"Kill the enemy and then run away, it's so... cool!" A strange emotion emerged in his heart, and Leon sighed.

Just then, he suddenly heard some movement in front of him.

"You bastards! Worms! Get out of here! Don't tear my robes! My robes, new ones!"

"Ah! Monster! Help!"

"Damn it! How could there be a monster? Didn't the authorities say this place is safe?"

"Shut up and pick up your knife!"

……

Leon was stunned. There was a very familiar voice here.

"Sikori, quick!"

He quickly sped up and ran forward.

The sound was not far away, and he turned a corner and arrived there quickly.

Sure enough, Leon saw more than twenty goblins surrounding a few people.

These people stood on the carriage, waving their knives to resist the attacks of the goblins, and among this group of people, there was an old wizard!
