...
At this moment.
A few hundred meters away.
Groups of followers were striding forward, heading towards the edge of Morrison Territory.
Even though it was night, under the glow of the torches, their facial expressions were still visible.
Nervous, expectant, even fearful and terrified.
But as Aiden's followers, to earn more money, they had no other choice!
Just then.
Bruno, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped and frowned, listening intently.
Not only him, the followers nearby seemed to hear noises too, and they halted in their tracks.
"Did you hear any sounds?"
"Sounds, what sounds? So late, what sounds could there be?"
"It's probably the sound of my stomach growling, huh?"
"..."
Bruno suddenly thought of something, looked up into the sky, and shouted loudly, "No, it's a rain of arrows, it's a rain of arrows!"
"Take cover, everyone find shelter nearby, take cover immediately!"
However.
As soon as Bruno's words fell, the sharp and piercing sounds of arrows cutting through the air emerged in their ears.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
An arrow shot down under the cover of night, directly piercing the chest of a follower.
The pained follower, with a puzzled expression, slightly lowered his head.
A sharp arrow had already embedded into his body, staining with flesh and blood, the arrowhead penetrating through, revealing itself on his back.
Without giving the follower any time to react, he fell backward powerlessly.
Life extinguished instantly.
Not only him.
As the arrows continuously rained down.
One follower after another was hit and killed instantly.
The cries and screams of horror continued from some followers who weren't fatally hit.
"My leg, oh, my leg..."
"Someone save me, I've been shot..."
"..."
Bruno, hiding behind a pile of corpses, was panting heavily at this moment.
"Take cover! Hurry up and take cover!"
Bruno never dreamed that the enemy Master Aiden spoke of so casually.
Would actually wield bows and arrows!
And with prismatic arrowheads!
Moreover, they could accurately determine their location in this darkness.
And directly start a coordinated rain of arrows, covering them with a rain of arrows!
Facing such enemies, holding only knives and swords of a couple pounds, how could they possibly defend?
This was nothing short of delivering themselves to doom!
The rain of arrows came quickly and left quickly.
One minute later.
Bruno lifted his head to take a look, confirming there were no more arrows.
He quickly stood up and shouted loudly to the surroundings, "Is anyone else alive?"
"Survivors, get up quickly!"
"The rain of arrows has ended, the enemy will attack shortly!"
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and gather together, form a defense line!"
"..."
With Bruno's constant shouting, one follower after another stood up behind the corpses.
Their faces were full of tension and panic.
But as free people, how could they have witnessed such a bloody scene?
Followers chatting leisurely with each other a few minutes ago had now turned into corpses.
Their eyes wide open, blood continually flowed from the places hit by arrows.
The viscous blood pooled on the ground, forming a puddle of blood!
Bruno naturally saw all this, his face full of gloom.
In the cultivated and planted fields, there wasn't any shelter to be found!
In such an area, without any shield for cover, the arrival of the rain of arrows was practically a deadly blow!
Surviving in this environment was purely due to the insufficient firepower of the enemy's arrows and sheer luck!
But at this moment, he couldn't care about those anymore.
Bruno quickly counted the followers with fighting strength.
After counting, Bruno's brows were tightly furrowed.
In this rain of arrows, nearly a hundred people had died!
The remaining twenty to thirty were more or less injured.
Just as Bruno was about to speak, a series of booming sounds rang out ahead of them.
Bruno quickly turned around, looking into the darkness in the distance.
As time ticked by, the roar grew ever closer.
When Bruno saw the galloping cavalry in the darkness ahead, his pupils constricted instantly.
Bruno said in disbelief, "Heavy cavalry? It's actually heavy cavalry?"
On tall steeds were figures clad in standard plate armor, gripping long spears, with spear tips parallel to the cavalry warhorses!
This was not only heavy cavalry!
But heavy cavalry that was charging!
With only a weapon barely one meter long, they had no other protection.
Facing the charging heavy cavalry, not to mention those long spears.
Just the iron hooves of the warhorses were enough to trample them into the mud!
Despite Bruno's warnings, it was still futile.
How could two legs possibly match four hooves?
Especially the four hooves of warhorses!
One follower after another was pierced by the spears held by the cavalry, blood splattering as they withdrew.
Just one charge from the heavy cavalry was enough for five or six hundred followers to instantly collapse, with the majority killed or injured!
In the face of true armed forces, these followers who had just been recruited couldn't possibly withstand the power of the heavy cavalry's charge!
The heavy cavalry broke through the followers' formation, killing most of them, their pace didn't stop.
But continued galloping towards the estate extended from the territory.
Arriving in front of the three-story estate, Lynn, who was riding on Mo Ying, said in a deep voice, "Search!"
Dozens of soldiers strode into the estate.
