Chapter 20: Pretending to be forced or low-key?

Ash's face turned pale, and his body trembled violently.

And at this time, Roger and the others finally understood why Ash reacted so much when faced with Zelistt's invitation at the beginning.

She should have known about the duke's intentions a long time ago, so she repeatedly refused, and even planned to leave directly the next day.

If it weren't for the fact that there were two witchers in the team, even if Dandrion had retained her, she would probably have left immediately.

Now it seems that the so-called invitation to Geralt at the beginning is actually a copy of Roger, if the two leave because of the mission, then it won't be long before the Duke's guards will appear near the tavern.

Then take Ash away with a plausible excuse, and as for what happened next, it goes without saying.

"No woman can refuse me, especially Cape Brimwood!"

"This is my territory!"

The Duke raised his voice and looked down at everyone as a victor.

"Then your choice, Miss Ash, my patience is limited, and this will be your last chance!"

"Get out of here!"

"If you get out of here alive, I'll spread your ugly deeds to all the countries around me!"

"Count me in!" Dandrian chimed in.

"Cute little eyes, it's rare that we are so consistent in the same thing!"

"Humph!" The duke's face sank suddenly, "Kill them all, and those scaly monsters!" ”

"Whoosh!"

Countless arrows were fired at the wooden boat where Roger and the others were, and at the same time, the mermaid became the target of the attack.

They nimbly dodged attacks in the air, then plunged into the sea.

At this point, Roger stepped forward, and the weapon jumped into his hand, and with a clanging sound, all the arrows fired at them were missed.

Roger single-handedly blocked all the attacks.

"What to do, think of a way!"

Dandrion yelled in a panic, "Let's run, stay away from them!" ”

"What are you thinking, their ships are bigger than ours, they are more numerous than us, the sea is so big, where can we escape?" Ash retorted.

"I knew you should have promised him just now, at least you could sneak into their ship, if you could seduce ......"

"Shut up, Dandrien!"

"Don't let me rip your mouth apart!"

"Hold on, Roger."

Geralt said, "I'm going to find a way to dive in and swim over, ...... like this."

But at this moment, before Geralt could finish speaking, the water near the big ship suddenly became cloudy, and then the corpses of several mermaids floated out.

"What's going on?"

"That's a trap!"

Sheenaz suddenly appeared, "These ships have been specially reinforced, and there are many traps around the bottom of the boats, they have been prepared for a long time, you are talking about the white-haired people, this is indeed a conspiracy!" ”

The mermaid screamed loudly in her throat, and the soldiers near the big ship were disturbed, and at that moment, her voice suddenly became rapid, and then her spirit became sluggish.

"I must leave, humanity is ready for a war, and I need to inform the other people of what I see."

She was ready to evacuate.

Soon the soldiers recovered from their trance and began to prepare for the second round of shooting, with the duke standing on a high place, protected by several strong soldiers.

He nodded to the crowd and smiled cruelly.

"Think of a way, Roger."

Dandrion said, "Is the golden dragon around here, we might be able to get him to help." ”

"When are you still joking here?" Ash said angrily.

"What joke?!" Dandrien jumped up, "The Roger I mentioned is a dragon rider, he can really control dragons, or the legendary golden dragon!" ”

"I don't believe you can ask Geralt!"

Ash's eyes widened, and his gaze shifted to the other side.

"Dandrien is true, but this is the sea, and even if Borch is really around here, by the time he arrives here, our bodies will be gnawed away."

Geralt sighed.

And at this time, Roger also frowned.

"Is there really no way?" Dandrien looked flustered.

"It's not completely nothing, we can dodge for a while, and then let Roger find a way to get close to those ships, with his strength, he should be able to control there quickly."

Geralt said again.

"So what are you waiting for?!" Dandrion looked excited.

"It's a good idea, but I'm nowhere near as strong as Roger, and we may not be able to hold out when he wins." Geralt continued.

"So we're going to die?" Dandrion's smiling face quickly dimmed.

And at this time, the second wave of shots came again, and Roger did not panic and blocked all the attacks again.

The two flips in a row quickly attracted the attention of the duke, and the bow of the ship was crowded, and they were obviously preparing other means.

"Don't worry." Roger spoke.

"I'm just waiting for an opportunity, and ......," he turned his gaze to Geralt, "didn't you tell me to try not to expose my strength in front of outsiders?" ”

"So I've got to figure out a compromise."

"How?" The crowd asked.

Roger smiled and pulled out the pendant around his neck.

It was a golden horn the thickness of a little finger, with a unique shape and intricate carvings on it.

Roger mustered up all his strength and blew the horn violently.

Burst!

There was no loud sound, and the sound coming from the horn was even reminiscent of some kind of gas exchange activity.

Dandrion blinked, "That's it?" ”

"Roger, it's all this time, there's no need to joke anymore."

"I'm not kidding."

Roger looked up and saw a strangely shaped device being lifted out of the deck, but at that moment, the surrounding sea suddenly shook violently.

It felt like there was a behemoth beneath the bottom of the ocean, approaching fast.

At first, everyone thought it was an illusion of tension, but soon the vibration became more and more violent, until they saw a large black shadow quickly taking over the entire field of vision under the water.

"There's something!"

"There's something underwater!" A soldier shouted.

"Sit tight and hold on."

Roger whispered.

The next moment the waves were terrifying, and a thick tentacle broke through the water, and the length of the tentacle exceeded the hull of the entire large ship, and then smashed down with the terrified screams of countless soldiers!

Cracking sound!

The Duke's ship was smashed like papier-mâché, but this was not the end, more tentacles appeared, and several large ships around it were enveloped.

The tentacles tightened, the big ship shattered, and in just a few breaths, only the broken planks on the surface of the sea remained.

Roger and the others were at the center of the whirlpool, but strangely there was a small area around them that was extremely peaceful. It was as if the surrounding stormy waves were happening in another dimension.

"Weird...... Monster!! ”

"What's that?" Dandrion screamed as if he were the one under attack.

Ash was also shocked, he looked at Roger, "You summoned this thing?!" ”

Roger nodded, "I picked the one that's closest to here." ”

Even the well-informed Geralt's face was not very good-looking at this time, and then he seemed to think of something and looked at Roger, who had a calm face.

"You say...... This is the solution to not exposing strength, but what about exposing strength? ”

Geralt couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart, and everyone looked at Roger after hearing his words.

Roger thought for a moment and reached out for a moment, "Hmm...... Maybe I'll choose to slash it with a sword? ”

"After all, it's easier to do."
