Chapter 117 Chase (Part 1)

It was Carter’s first ti a battle

A lineup of hts was unable to even scratch the edge of their defensive line, instead, they had been totally crushed

Until the end, they had failed to even enter into a range of fifty meters – it was the hunter team’s fire line, only when the enemy had come closer than fifty meters were they allowed to open fire

The four cannons had brought the enemy’s assault to a coe of one hundred and fifty to one hundred meters, laid an orderly row of twenty bodies, it was as if they had run into a wall And these hters, Knights; otherwise, they would have never been able to control their horses under the sound of gunfire

In the end, Carter was glad that he wasn’t one of them He felt a faint hunch that the battles in the future would become very different, and it was only a matter of time, until Roland Wimbledon the master of such a powerful force would aspire to the throne and aishi+p

When the members of the First Aran vo or had other adverse reactions But this wasn’t the reaction they would show if they had personally killed the eneht on by killing so distance wassomeone with a knife, their reaction couldn’t be counted as critical Carter picked a set of people from his own team to pick up the severed limbs and put the for the living people

The sun gradually fell behind the mountains, and when Carter looked at the blood-red sky, and the distant woods with its crying crows, he was suddenly hit by a dull and dreary feeling

The era of the Knights was over

…

Even until now Duke Ryan was still unable to recover

He couldn’t understand hoas possible that he had lost, even more to a line of defense as thin as a slice of onion skin, norer to run through it, but today, it was his knights who fled like they had come face to face with the Devil In truth, he couldn’t even blame them because the assault was under the cohts

His personal guards had even to chop down several people so that the blindly fleeing mercenary didn’t come close to the Duke’s position But he was unable to do anything else, no matter how much he shouted, he couldn’t unite the defeated men once more In desperation, even Duke Ryan had to retreat with the flow of fleeing people, and their mindless escape only stopped after they had crossed nearly ten miles

When the night came, the Duke chose a place close to the river bank to cahts and mercenaries back to their ca To make matters worse, the freedman had without any hesitation left in the carts with the food, so tonight they had to slaughter a few horses to serve as rations

The five nobles huddled together, within the ca with a fearful expression towards Duke Ryan, however even he wasn’t in any better constitution

“Who can tell me, what kind of neeapon it was that they had used? They are far better than crossbows, and they don’t see the stones like with a catapult,” the Duke began to speak, while glancing at Rene, ”You also stood at the forefront, tell me what did you see?”

“My Lord, I… couldn’t see anything clearly,” Rene answered, “I only know that every time this roar could was heard, our men would fall in batches, especially when it sounded for the last tihts had been hit by an invisible wall Furthermore I also sa their heads and arht for a ht of a city wall”

“Was it the power of a witch?” Count earl whispered frightened

“No,” answered the Duke, “My knights earing a God’s Stone of Retaliation, so the power of a witch couldn’t have hurt them! We weren’t attacked by witches, in front of those stones, they are nothing more than an ordinary woman

“Oh, that’s right, sir,” Rene suddenly spoke up, as though he was re, I sa carts which stood in a row, they had a huge iron pipe, it eht and a cloud of smoke”

“An Iron pipe? What red light and what smoke? Doesn’t that sound like the ceremony barrel?” Count Elk asked with much doubt in his voice
