Chapter 281 Redwater River Ambush (Part 2)
Compared with Lotus who could only survey the scene from an elevated and distant position, Sylvie's vieas much more vivid
Through the thick walls of the soil houses, she could see the soldiers busy the the saht people beca water The paper bags and iron balls stacked at the back of the compartment, were continuously fed into a thick and robust iron pipe, which then erupted with the sound of thunder
Taking a closer look, Sylvie noticed that the soldiers first lit a rope that was at the end of the iron pipe The ju sparks then entered the interior of the pipe and directly ignited the previously loaded paper bag In the following split second the light beca her eyes open, the sparks quickly expanded into an orange-red fireball, filling every rooo, the still growing fla it outward as if a giant hand had thrown it out!
Within the blink of an eye, the iron ball turned into a shadow rushi+ng in a straight line towards the shi+p sailing on the river Its strength was so great, that it directly drilled through the planks leaving a fist sized hole in the side Although its speed slowed down a lot the iron ball's power could still not be underesti to climb out of the cabin it immediately tear him in two
It was Sylvie's first ti such a scene - that without the blade of a sharp knife or the edge of a sword, depending on just one of those plumb iron balls, it was possible to tear a person in two
Due to witnessing the scene frouts had splashed all over herself The still not stopped iron ball then hit severaloff their four li their heads For afilthy blood, and red and white internal organs
Sylvie suddenly felt her sto straight along her throat
“Blergh…” The scene in the hold of the shi+p suddenly faded - under her chaotical e her ability Sylvie forcefully interrupted the connection to her Eye of Truth giving up to the impulse to throw up instead
“What happened?” Lotus was startled, so she immediately came over to support her then worriedly asked, “Are you okay?”
The Prince also noticing her discomfort turned around and handed her a handkerchief, “If you think it is too bloody, then don't look at it At least don't use your ability to look at it froo and take a break”
“Thank you…” Sylvie took the handkerchief and wiped her ht”
This is probably the “incredible invention” Maggie and Lightning had spoken of, but back then we hadn't listened enough to it or we didn't pay any attention to it After all, without personally witnessing it, such an incredible weapon is really hard to iine
She once more looked towards the battlefield, to see that Ti both shores - apparently, they have already noticed by now, that this kind of violent wind and rainstor frouised as earth slopes However, the other side still isn't aware that the hness Roland has far more to offer than that
Comparatively far away from the V-shaped line of defense, were some more bunkers that were hidden with vines and weeds Which had a length exactly the sath of the fleet column If they landed at any point, they would just fall into another pincer attack laid out for the, the only way to avoid this would have been if they had turned the bow around and withdreithout even the slightest hesitation
The soldiers in the bunkers were all holding identical long and round iron instruments, these didn't shoot out round iron balls but rather a single sharp but tailless arrowhead It didn't seem as if it had the same unstoppable power as the iron balls, but when it hit the target, it still turned any ar deep into the flesh of a person’s body
Sylvie guessed that the ene ashore and lining up, however, the soldiers within the bunkers never even gave them the opportunity to do so - just as with the previous attack, they also didn't need to show their faces this tiet with their weapons, easily pulled the trigger, then sent off a rain of arrowheads; si down on the enemy
Confronted with this kind of rapid-fire, without even being able to swing their oeapons, the ene before the frontlines totally fell apart The people who had already left the shi+p all turned around, wanting to return aboard, while the people still aboard aiting for the others to flee The body of the shi+ps substantially began to sway, until the gangplank was no longer able support their weight and fell into the water drowningto climb the wall of the shi+p were also killed off, which turned the whole scene into utter chaos
“It's ti until this moment, the Prince put down his observation mirror, turned toward Iron Axe and ordered, “Take the reserve and clean up the battlefield, if the lead knights were lucky enough not to be killed during the battle, arrest as many as you can I want to ask them some questions”
“Yes,” Iron Axe answered as he saluted
He then looked at Sylvie, “Go with Iron Axe and ensure that no one can slip away”
