The Witcher: Darkness Falls

In front of the nest, the soldiers held torches, lowered their heads, and stood silently, as if they were holding a mourning ceremony.

The soldiers were shocked by the tragic scene before them. All of them were silent, and their bodies trembled with anger.

The total number of people massacred in the two villages, plus the other missing persons, exceeded fifteen thousand, and at least one-third of them were women and little girls.

And now, there are only seven people alive, six women, and a child who is not even old enough to be called a woman.

They lay dying and naked, like pigs in a sty, in filth, their bodies covered with pus and mucus.

Under such terrible circumstances, it was a miracle that they didn't die.

When they appeared, one of the women, whose soul seemed to have been sucked out, gave birth to three monkey-like goblin cubs.

The moment the three goblin cubs were born, the woman's round belly suddenly shrank.

As the scream rang out, one of the woman's eyes seemed to regain its vitality, but it soon dimmed again. She was finally relieved.

What is even more incredible is that when these three animals were born, people found that their eyes were open.

As soon as they land, they scream and stuff the umbilical cord, placenta, and any food they can grab into their mouths. They will even attack their mother and their brothers.

Madison couldn't bear it anymore, so he swung his sword and chopped off the heads of three newborn goblin cubs.

Now, they have found the goblins' lair and the women kidnapped by the goblins, but there are only a few of them, and they are in this situation.

"Whose sword is sharper? Come and give them a quick death?" Finally, someone couldn't help but speak out.

The low and hoarse voice made others feel even more depressed.

They were clearly here to save people, but now they have to be killed!

No one spoke, but everyone's eyes were on Madison.

Madison had never felt his throat as dry as it did now, and he felt suffocated and nauseous.

"Someone has to do this damn thing," he thought to himself.

Thinking of this, his hand holding the steel sword began to tremble.

He looked at the other women, even a child inside.

"They're already dead!" Madison told herself. "They died when the goblins caught them! Now, I have to free them!"

Madison took a deep breath to stop her body from shaking.

This was not a battlefield, and certainly not about killing the enemy, and these people deserved their protection.

But now, he must kill them!

"Forgive me!" Madison's voice trembled, and he swung his sword, killing these poor women and children.

As if sensing the mother's death, the unborn goblins in their stomachs began to struggle.

Everyone saw that the women's bellies began to tumble and roll, and these bastards were actually trying to rip their bellies open and crawl out!

"Damn bastard!" someone couldn't help but yelled angrily.

He stepped forward and stabbed hard with his sword.

……

After leaving the goblin's lair, Madison led the team walking silently in the forest.

The continuous drizzle hit their armor, and the whole forest was filled with a chill.

Compared to the coldness of the armor, the soldiers' hearts were even colder, and this coldness was suffocating.

The team had long lost the enthusiasm they had when they set out, and everyone was immersed in hatred and fear.

They also have wives and children. Put yourself in their shoes. If their wives and children were captured by goblins while playing outside the city, would they end up like what we just saw?

No! This cannot happen!

We must kill all those beasts!

This has almost become the common voice of everyone!

But unfortunately, they failed to kill all the goblins this time.

This cave was originally the lair of forest trolls, but was eventually taken over by goblins.

There are also cracks in this nest that allowed some goblins to escape.

Although they blew up the nest when they left, no one dared to guarantee that the goblins hiding in the rift would die.

Moreover, they didn't know if these were all the goblins here, or whether there were still goblins out hunting who hadn't returned yet.

However, it is impossible for them alone to hunt down all the goblins.

After such a long time, Maddison needs to make a summary of this cleanup with Earl Grampian.

They returned to Crete Village before dark, and before they could rest, the chief of Crete Village hurried to Madison.

“Sir, the injured people started to have a fever last night and they all fell into a coma. Poor Charlotte and Carl didn’t make it past noon today.

We looked for all the doctors nearby, but no one could treat them.

What should we do? If we don’t treat them, they will all die!” the village chief said anxiously.

Madison is now physically and mentally exhausted, but he has to force himself to deal with such things.

Because there are unconscious people and his soldiers here.

"Lyon, I remember that one of your companions was also bitten by the goblins, right? What did you do?" he asked.

They met because of this incident, and it almost caused some misunderstandings.

Leon said calmly: "I went to Nilfgaard City to find a wizard. This is a disease caused by multiple bacterial infections. Ordinary doctors are helpless. It requires a wizard to solve it."

"Wizard?!" the village chief exclaimed, "Where can we find a wizard? There are no wizards around here. We haven't seen one in decades!"

He looked at Madison for help and expressed his greatest concern: "Some people are vomiting and having diarrhea, and no one is willing to take care of them.

There are rumors in the village that they have been poisoned and it will cause an infectious disease, or even a plague. Sir, please help!"

Madison sighed tiredly. Wizard, what else could he do?

It is said that these people now only serve the nobles, and he is just a small commander.

He had no choice but to turn his attention to Lyon again.

However, this time, Leon shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. I can't contact the wizards in Nilfgaard. I'm afraid the Count will need to write a letter to the Emperor."

If he hadn't contacted Stregobor, Ratak would probably have died.

And Fringilla Vigo, it was obvious that he could not have a casual conversation with such an important figure as her.

They did have an agreement between them, but that didn't mean he had the right to stand in front of her and ask her to do something else.

However, Earl Grampian was different. If he had written to the Emperor of Nilfgaard hoping to get help from the wizards, then things would have been different.

The Emperor of Nilfgaard ordered that unless these wizards didn't want to do it anymore or didn't want to stay in Nilfgaard, they had no reason to refuse.

Madison felt a headache. He waved his hand impatiently and said to the village chief, "Okay, I got it. I will rush back to Grampian tomorrow and report what happened here.

Let your doctors do their best to take care of these patients. Their disease is not contagious. Do you understand?

Let's go, I'm tired, I want to rest now."

"But..." The village chief wanted to say something, but the soldiers stepped forward and took him out.

Madison glanced at Leon and McLaren irritably and said, "You should go and have some rest too. Come back to Grampian with me tomorrow. You have contributed a lot to the clearing of the goblin nest, especially you."

He took a deep look at McLaren, then turned around to rest.

After making sure Madison had left, McLaren looked at Leon and asked, "How's it going, Demon Hunter? Have you thought it through?"
