As Lan En expected, simple traps were placed in several places on the road.
It's not that complicated, similar to what hunters do to capture wild beasts.
Lan En’s observation skills dismantled these arrangements into pieces.
The roaring bear head necklace hung securely around his neck, which made Lan En even more at ease.
Because this shows that there are no traces of magic involved in this area.
Everyone followed them all the way to a cave.
Lan En signaled to Phillip behind him at the entrance of the cave that this was the murderer's hiding place.
The witcher felt the wind direction at the entrance of the cave and determined that there was only one exit to the cave.
The sergeants were prepared in a relaxed atmosphere. They hung a kind of iron lantern on their chests.
A candle is placed in the middle of the fully enclosed iron box, leaving only a small window that can be opened and closed on the outside.
The structure of this kind of lantern can gather the light to illuminate forward, and if you hang it on your chest through a layer of armor, you will not feel hot or burnt.
It is a kind of medieval war wisdom.
The sergeants filed in, and the sound of armors clashing and rubbing against each other seemed urgent and dense under the echo of the cave.
Yes, Lan En and the soldiers no longer care about concealment at this time.
In the dim light of the fire, people could vaguely see a strange figure looking panicked deep in the cave.
"Run, bastard, run faster and see where you can go." A leading soldier shouted with undisguised malice and anger. "If you dare to eat people in Durnham, you won't even be hanged. We will tie you to a pyre and burn you alive to make atonement for your sins."
But even so, the shield in his hand But he never let it go from his face.
This undoubtedly helped him.
A stone flew out from the depths of the cave and hit the shield with a bang.
The shield surface was slightly tilted, but it returned to its posture in the blink of an eye.
There is no doubt that criminals who can eat people are the most threatening type. There is no way that such people can be caught without mercy.
If the stone thrown just now was not blocked by the shield, it would probably hit the soldier's helmet directly.
The steel helmet can effectively protect the head, but this structure determines that even if the helmet is slapped twice by the enemy, the person inside will be dizzy.
Not to mention a heavy stone.
Historically, the unarmed skills of the Yenicheri troops were the famous "Yenicheri Big Slap".
"Resistance is good, then continue to resist"
The soldiers' pace became faster, the anger of having their faith trampled on burst out together with the resentment of wearing armor and going deep into the swamp.
Lan heard York shouting too.
“B*tch, we’ll make you beg.Hurry up and get burned on the rack."
Finally, a man couldn't stand the threat from outside, so he threw more than a dozen stones like crazy, and then pounced on him.
< p>All the stones were blocked by the shield soldiers in front of the team.And this man really wanted to know what terrible punishment he was going to face. In Lan En's view, his purpose in rushing forward was to die. It’s more important than living.
A dagger as short as an arm doesn’t protect the torso at all, and it hits the soldier’s blade in a wild swing.
“He doesn’t want to live, so don’t kill him here. Got him. ”
The demon hunter has low-light vision, and Lan En can see the murderer’s little thoughts, so he simply reminded him.
What this guy did was completely Worthy of all the torture in this world.
These veterans cooperated very well. When the murderer was entangled with one of the soldiers, three sword and shield soldiers surrounded him with their shields. < /p>
The three shields were squeezed inward, and the murderer's arm holding the dagger was stuck in the gap, and it was broken with a click.
After a few futile screams, several swords were released. The hand sword was thrust through the gap in the shield.
The tip of the sword was all pointed downwards, and most of it was stabbed in the thigh.
At this point, it can be said that the matter has settled.
p>The remaining nearly ten soldiers did not even take action.
A group of people dragged the beast out of the cave and exposed it to the sun. p>It was then that everyone saw his appearance clearly.
His pale skin, sunken eye sockets, and body shape matched Lan En's.
He was wearing a black suit. An open-armed animal skin vest, with no other coverings on the upper body.
A human palm serves as a pendant, and the rope is passed through the wrist bone and worn around his neck.
< p>The palm was cut off from the wrist and seemed to have been treated with antiseptic treatment. It remained plump but not smelly.In order to prevent him from escaping, the soldiers simply used swords to leave it on the soles of his feet. There are two holes.
From the instep to the sole of the foot, it is transparent from top to bottom.
As for whether it will be infected in the swamp, he will be burned at the stake. I don’t care if he gets infected after fighting.
Philip is in a good mood.
“Thanks to you, Master. Otherwise, this bastard is hiding here, and we don’t know how much effort it will take to catch him."
"Just remember the reward, this bastard smells so much of human flesh, it makes me happy. Nausea. "
"Don't worry about the bounty. We captured him alive, and the bounty will definitely not be less."
Lan nodded, and he agreed with Phillip's idea.
p>
Living is more valuable than dying.
But looking at the cannibal who was still wailing, Lann took a little more seriously and made suggestions to Phillip.
"It's a good thing to complete the task, but let me say one more thing, that guy should not be alone. "
"Yes, there is a murderer"
Phillip was shocked, but Lan shook his head and waved his hands.
"He was the only one who committed the crime in Durnham, but what I said is that this guy should belong to a group of cannibals."
"How do you know"
The sergeant looked at Lan En suspiciously. The young man raised his chin and pointed at the palm necklace on the murderer's chest.
“Look at that necklace. A human palm, neatly processed and hung around the neck. This is an obviously ceremonial decoration, and it can only be worn if you are among a certain targeted group. Only then will the need for rituals and decorations be born.”
Philip’s vision is as clear as a child’s.
Lan En pursed his lips and touched his forehead.
“Let’s put it this way, believers of the eternal fire will leave flame patterns all over their bodies, but others will not do so.”
“Oh, I understand. " Phillip nodded up and down, "You mean he believes in a cannibal sect." "That's okay," Lan En reluctantly agreed.
“Look at that palm necklace, the wrist incision has obviously been processed, and the wrist bones can be clearly exposed. The antiseptic method is also very good, which shows that they have eaten many people and can even use these people’s They are well organized, Philip.”
Lan En asked him to be careful, and it would be best to strengthen security forces to patrol the area.
But Philip said, "I can't do it, Master."
The man spoke in a very plain tone, and his tone was so light that he didn't seem to be talking about a group of organized people. not cannibals, but a few mischievous children.
“We only have so many people, and we can’t support more people.”
“Maybe you don’t believe that this world is not like this. In the past ten years, I have felt that I It's like living in a different world. Kings, you beat me, I beat you, and you don't know why. In the past, no one would steal children no matter how poor Willen was, but now I am here. We have received dozens of reports of missing children in two months. We have to take care of this first, otherwise the farmers will not be able to farm with peace of mind."
"People are broken, master, I can only say that. If I encounter a cannibal sect, I will kill them, but if I don’t meet this world, how much can I do even if I am a king?” Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
