There would still be people fishi+ng out rusting pieces of armor many years after the battle They would take the opportunity to start a huge discussion about the legend of that battle, especially the parts about the ferance and the mysterious death of the Coends, the two portions of the battle were largely exaggerated by the story-tellers The audience, regardless of gender, loved even ed into their enemy, as if they were divine soldiers who had co forcethem As a result, the ferocity of the worance became so widely known that even the swordshtly less on par with them, much less the ordinary men from their own nation

Reality was rance did not leave their high ground to engage the enemy in melee combat for the entire battle They were archers and had to rely on the distance between theon arrance, who engaged the Golden Roc Arave a huge shock to both arround, and the nations in it usually relied on cavalry as their main force It was hard to ensure the safety of stationary archers when facing a cavalry charge, thus, no power in the region had built up a crossbow unit which traveled on foot of such a scale Even Norland, whose soldiers specialized in the use of the bow, had their archers on horseback

When the 7,000 or so female archers released their arrows at the same time, it was akin to a torrential downpour Each corpse of a slain Golden Roc Army soldier had at least three arrows stuck on hi fu master would have unable to escape froround and in this way, they evaded the attack of the Golden Roc Arth They had received the Dragon King’s strict orders to never leave their position at the start of the battle

After breaking the defensive posture of the enehtly more than 100 steps and halted once they reached the halfwayto unleash volley after volley of arrows on the enemy They only caon army after the battle was over

The Golden Roc aruan Jianyi could have ordered his left flank to retreat out of the effective range of the eneless to the battle if they insisted on reh ground, they would be forced to engage in th

However, at that tiive out any orders

Rumors about his death sounded even more ion King, but no one could understand how he could have arranged for the ene hih he had so into contact with hih, that Old Man Mu was not the killer He hid in the wine barrel for nearly 12 hours and kept to his proave everyone a shock and he quicklybetween the countless legs in the battlefield; he was incredibly agile and hard to capture

Of course, he could not have continued fleeing like this forever, but no one paid him any attention after the collapse of the Golden Roc Aruan Jianyi, and as nearly all of the 100 killers chased after hi of soldiers, they found that they could not use their kung fu and thus re soldiers back to their stations harshly

It was during this ti uan Jianyi noticed that Commander Yi, as usually quick to react, was unexpectedly still He see around hi

“Commander Yi…” whispered his htly It was at that moment he realized that the commander of the Golden Roc Arest mistake of his life, as he lost control and shouted in surprise, “There’s an assassin!”

The chaos around the incredibly quickly toward their surroundings again After the advisor’s exclamation, even the person who held the most senior rank or was able to improvise the quickest would have no way to calm the soldiers of the Golden Roc Army down

The killers ere supposed to protect Shangguan Jianyi were now in big trouble, but it was theether to salvage the situation, as one of them protected Commander Yi’s corpse while the other drew his saber and ordered loudly, “Everyone remain where they are Those that disobey will be beheaded!”

His authoritativeness worked itsreturned back to calmness after about 15 minutes

This, however, laid waste to the Golden Roc Aroal: to apprehend the assassin Old Man Mu’s tactics could not fool them, and they knew that the actual assassin was someone else They also knew that he or she had not escaped and was currently hiding ast their own soldiers

There was an uncontrollable panic hidden behind the cal to the custo with their masters, and there was no way that their lord would let theure such as Shangguan Jianyi

Other than their kind, the killers did not trust any high-ranking uard or attendant anyainst a wall now, and the only way they could possibly avoid their fate would be to capture the assassin At this moment, they were like beasts in death throes, and rank, title and wardown, or even if the earth caved in, they were bent on finding the assassin

Unfortunately, their area of control only covered a very small radius, and the effect of their ar back like a tidal wave

The tens of thousands of reserve troops in the Golden Roc Ar behind the killers, had now either heard or witnessed the surprising turn of events on the battlefield and at the area surrounding the coer than anyone else

All of a sudden, they thren their colors and weapons on the ground in unison, as if there were a voice that had appeared at the back of theirthealloped away quickly, while those on foot stripped off their ar
