The Witcher: Darkness Falls

All members of the Iron Forest woke up.

Denzel hid in the room, and Zival stood guard at his door with a huge axe.

Gammill and Lyon came to the garden entrance in the rain, while the others scattered around the low wall.

Camilla stood on all fours in the middle of the garden, looking a little annoyed.

At this moment, one dark shadow after another climbed over the low wall.

"Here I come!" Camilla shouted and rushed forward, using her large palm to press the monster's head directly against the low wall.

bang——

The low wall began to tremble, but fortunately it did not collapse, but the monster's head was flattened.

"Don't hit the wall! Camilla, don't hit the wall! You idiot!" Holf yelled, swinging the iron rod at the nearest one.

The half-elf drew his bow and shot at a shadowy figure that was climbing over the wall.

call out--

An arrow hit the opponent's head, and the shadow slid down the low wall.

"Ouch!!!!"

At the entrance of the garden, a large number of monsters emerged from the darkness.

"Come on!" Gamir roared, holding the shield in front of him with his left hand and swinging the knight's sword with his right hand.

Leon drew out his steel sword, swung it at a monster that was trying to take advantage of an opportunity, and cut off its head.

In an instant, blood spurted out from the monster's neck, and the air was immediately filled with an extremely fishy smell.

The monster's head rolled down, Leon looked down, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

What did he see?

Pointed ears, long nose, pointed chin, and fur on both cheeks!

Isn't this a dwarf?

"Oh my God! This thing..." Gan Mil also saw clearly the monster rushing towards him. These things were not even as tall as his hips.

But there were a lot of them. He took a look and saw monsters constantly rushing out from the darkness. He estimated there were about a hundred of them.

"Dwarf! I saw a dwarf!" Leon shouted.

"Bullshit! This is not a dwarf! We don't look like this!" The dwarf Otik roared. He stabbed the dagger into the heart of the monster that was almost as tall as him and pulled the monster out of the darkness.

click -

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and at that moment, everyone saw clearly what kind of monster they were facing.

It might not be clear in the darkness, but the dwarves saw it at that moment.

"what!"

A shrill scream was heard, it was the voice of another dwarf, Ritak Solas.

When he pulled out the dwarf-like monster, he was about to kill it, but was stunned by its appearance.

Just as he was distracted, the monster opened its mouth and bit his arm.

"Get out of the way!" yelled the dwarf Lux, slashing down with the broadsword in both hands.

The broadsword fell almost close to Retak's scalp, cutting off the monster's neck!

"Are you okay?" Lux pulled Rita up, and the two of them stood back to back, alert.

"Zivali, what is this?!" Horf yelled, throwing a dead monster in front of his eldest brother.

Zivar, with his battle axe in hand, was startled by the monster in front of him.

He used an axe to help the other person turn over, and when he saw the monster's appearance clearly, he was obviously shocked.

"This isn't a dwarf, this is a damn goblin! It's a goblin!" Zival yelled, his voice trembling, "They're not all dead yet!"

"Aren't goblins just dwarfs?" Leon asked loudly as he swung his sword to kill one.

He saw from Sicori's notes that the names of many species were different in different places.

For example, dragonfly monsters are called dragonflies by some, or academically named Everetia pitifolia, but they are all dragonfly monsters.

Goblin is another name for dwarf, but they don't like this name at all.

"No! Goblins are goblins and dwarves are dwarves!" Zival yelled, trying to make his voice as clear as possible to others.

"Goblin is a goblin, Gnome is a dwarf! They are completely different!" He even shouted out the ancient dwarven language which he himself did not often speak.

"Don't worry about it, just kill them first!" Ganmil held up a shield and blocked the main gate, feeling a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, he was big enough and had the help of a demon hunter, so his defense had not been breached for the time being.

The others cooperated with each other and killed the goblins that climbed over the low wall into the garden, and did not approach the room where Denzel was for the time being.

Zival looked back at Denzel huddled in the corner and resisted the urge to rush out to help.

If he left, the other party would probably be even more scared.

"Hold on! As long as more than half of them are killed or wounded, they will automatically retreat!" Zival shouted, "I heard that."

"Hear?" Ganmir knocked down a group of goblins with his shield, and two of them even took the opportunity to grab his armor and climb onto his back.

However, he was fully armed and did not suffer any harm.

The demon hunter dealt with the goblin in front of him and rushed forward to clean the one off his back.

"Damn it, these bastards are endless, is there no end to them?" Ganmire roared.

If it weren't for the low garden wall, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Camilla, lift up the flower bed and throw it away!" Gammill yelled.

"Here I come!" Camilla shouted excitedly.

It lifted up the abandoned granite platform in the center of the garden and smashed it towards the entrance.

Ganmier and Lyon immediately moved aside to make way for the stone platform.

boom--

The goblin who was about to rush in was smashed into a pulp by the stone. The stone continued to roll for a few meters before falling to the ground with a loud bang.

"I'm here!" Camilla misunderstood and rushed out excitedly, diving into the group of goblins.

"Idiot, come back!" Ganmier shouted.

Among the short goblins, Camilla is like a giant and rushes around.

But there were too many goblins, and soon its body was full of them. It had to slow down and keep trying to grab the goblins off its back.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to catch it given its body structure.

"Roll over! Roll over where you are!" Leon shouted.

Camilla obediently rolled over on the ground and finally got rid of the goblin on her back.

"Come here! Come back!" Lyon continued to shout.

Camilla was frightened and ran back crawling.

Leon swung his sword to clear away the two goblins hanging on it, and then he and Ganmire blocked the entrance again.

However, the goblins still kept coming, as if they were endless.

"I seem to see something!" Lyon said suddenly.

After he killed a goblin, he suddenly saw a slightly larger goblin on a rock not far away, shouting loudly but not rushing towards him.

“Monsters living in groups all have a leader who commands them to do everything.

Once the leader dies, the group of monsters will be defeated."

He remembered a sentence in Sikori's notes, which was the experience Sikori summarized when he encountered Qichimo.

"Ganmire, are you accurate in shooting?" Lyon asked.

"What do you think?" Ganmir knew what Leon wanted to do, so after knocking down a few goblins, he handed the shield directly to Leon.

Lyon stood in front with a shield in hand and said to Gammill, "Remember the landscape stone on the roadside outside the garden? There's a guy squatting on it. Shoot it to death!"

Gamil threw away his knight's sword without hesitation and picked up the bow and arrow.

"Point me in the direction!" he shouted.

"Over there! My head is pointing at it!" Leon shouted.

"Lower your head!"

Lyon lowered his head.

stop--

An arrow flew off the bow and shot down the goblin leader who was squatting on the landscape stone.

However, it was not dead. Leon gritted his teeth, raised his hand and cast an Alder Seal, knocking away the goblin blocking his way, then rushed out with his sword.

“aaaaa——”

The goblin leader was hit by an arrow and screamed immediately.

The rest of the goblins that were sprinting stopped immediately, and some even rushed towards the goblin leader, trying to protect it.

Lyon cast another Alder Sign, but this time it was not very effective because there were too many goblins.

Seeing that he couldn't get through, he simply gritted his teeth and threw the steel sword out.

This time it hit, the steel sword pierced directly into the chest of the goblin leader, and soon the goblin became motionless.

Finally, the goblins retreated.
