Ellington, east side of the city.
Silhouettes shuttled swiftly between the greenhouses.
They held assault rifles in their hands and did not look nervous at all.
In front of them was the light cavalry assault team from Kasparmi Castle. They were equipped with cavalry swords, bows and arrows, throwing hammers, and other cavalry weapons. As long as the main force of Ellington was restrained in the north, they could enter from the side and immediately create a lot of chaos, causing Ellington's defense line to collapse.
Unfortunately, they encountered a powerful firepower that should not have appeared in this world.
"Stop them!"
Tom shouted. The members of the vanguard team instantly rushed out from behind the greenhouses and stood in a row in front of the light cavalry.
"Speed up!"
The captain of the light cavalry sneered. They were all equipped with strong bows with a shooting range of up to 300 steps. These people actually dared to stand in front of them?
The light cavalry captain waved his hand. "Arrows, fire at will! Horses, do not stop! "
The cavalry immediately took out their bows and arrows. The sound of horse hooves became more urgent and the distance between the two sides quickly closed!
500 meters …
450 meters …
400 meters …
They were about to enter the shooting range!
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the light cavalry captain's face as he slowly raised his hand. The moment he entered the range of 300 paces, the rain of arrows would completely tear apart the opponent's frail body. Behind him, Ellington would be like a little girl who had been stripped naked. He could only let them humiliate him!
Facing the cavalry's arrows, Tom and his comrades did not say a word. When they entered the effective shooting range of 400 meters, they suddenly grinned.
"Send them to meet the Grim Reaper – fire!"
Tom roared and pulled the trigger first!
"Da da da —"
Feeling the strong impact from the assault rifle, as well as the smell of war that His Lordship called "smoke", Tom was deeply intoxicated. He loved this feeling to death!
The light cavalry did not expect that the distance between the two sides was still 400 meters and the opponent actually launched an attack!
Before the light cavalry captain could see the opponent's attack, the whistling bullets whistled through the air and directly exploded his head!
"Da da da —"
Tom and the others, who still didn't know how to control their shooting rhythm, pulled the trigger. After emptying a magazine in one breath, they directly changed to another magazine and continued to shoot!
Fortunately, the performance of the universal alloy was much better than the steel on Earth. Otherwise, at this firing speed, the barrel would soon overheat and be unable to continue firing.
The light cavalry did not wear thick armor like the heavy cavalry. Their defense was as fragile as paper in the face of bullets. The dense rain of bullets easily tore their bodies apart. Their corpses were flung to the ground by the inertia of the warhorses, and then trampled into meat paste by the warhorses that followed closely behind.
"Da da da —"
After the gunshots started, they didn't stop. A row of more than 20 people stood there steadily. Other than changing magazines, they didn't move at all.
More than half of the 300 light cavalry soldiers had been killed before they had even advanced 50 meters. However, the will that was deeply rooted in their minds ordered them to continue attacking, to attack with their lives. Therefore, they could only continue to charge with their lives!
The light cavalry soldiers used all their strength to draw their bows and arrows. The arrows that were shot out high only flew for 200 meters before they lost their strength and fell to the ground softly.
The opponent didn't even take a step back. He continued to use the strange weapon in his hand to kill mercilessly.
"Bang!"
Another light cavalry soldier was hit. The bullet tore through his body. Blood spurted out from the punctured arteries. His eyes quickly lost their luster. He was flung away by the warhorse and trampled into meat paste. The black blood that bloomed on his corpse was the evil flower known as war.
They couldn't win.
Although they knew that they were going to die, the light cavalry soldiers who had no fear in their hearts still charged forward, trying to close the distance between the two sides and then shoot the arrows in their hands.
They already knew the result.
They couldn't win.
Ever since the opponent took out that terrifying weapon with a range of more than 400 meters, they had already lost.
They weren't heavy cavalry. They didn't have the protection of heavy armor, and they didn't have as many "blessings" as the enemy. In the face of such a terrifying attack, they had no chance at all.
"Da da da —"
The sound from the other side was very rhythmic. The light cavalry vaguely smelled a strange smell from the other side. They had already lost a lot of their senses, but they still felt that the smell in the air was hot and pungent.
It was the smell of gunpowder.
Oh … So it was a flintlock …
A light cavalry soldier was sent flying and fell off his horse. A thought flashed through his mind before he died.
But, when did the flintlocks have such a long range? And the shooting speed was so fast?
Another light cavalry soldier's chest exploded with blood and fell from his horse.
If the flintlocks were so powerful, what was the use of us light cavalry and archers?
A breeze swept across the battlefield, blowing away the thick smoke.
There was only one light cavalry soldier left out of the 300 light cavalry soldiers. He seemed to have lost his bow and arrow. He only had a cavalry sword in his hand. He raised the cavalry sword high and rushed towards Tom and the others.
He was very young, about the same age as Tom.
The gunshots had stopped long ago.
His body was full of bullet holes.
The light cavalry soldier clenched his last breath and urged the warhorse to continue charging forward.
However, the warhorse fell to the ground.
The light cavalry soldier fell to the ground.
He completely disregarded the fact that his body was smashed to pieces and he used his remaining hand to crawl forward.
Then, he died.
In front of 24 assault rifles, not a single light cavalry soldier of the 300 light cavalry soldiers could break through the 200 meter limit.
Looking at the blood and corpses on the ground, Tom and the others suddenly trembled after their overheated minds cooled down.
What did they do?
In just an instant, they killed more than 300 people!
Damn it — those are three hundred lives! '
Tom's fingers holding the assault rifle turned white. He finally understood why the Lord said that once this weapon went out of control, it would become a terrifying killing machine.
"But, why didn't they run away?"
One of his companions covered his mouth. He wanted to vomit and his eyes were filled with tears: "Why? They knew that they couldn't win, so they just ran away. Why did they have to die here? They were the ones who invaded our home! We are the victims! Why am I crying!? "
"Because, in the end, we are the same. There are many reasons why they didn't run away. Maybe it's because of loyalty, maybe it's because of orders, maybe … … they just want to earn a living from Lawrence. "
Another older warrior had a complicated look on his face. "Don't tell me you think other places will be like Ellington, where everyone can earn money and eat their fill?"
"I just don't understand why we have to use killing to solve the problem."
"If you don't understand, then don't think about it. Leave the complicated problems to the Lord. We are just his warriors."
Tom hardened his heart and said coldly: "The Lord gave us enough to eat and warm clothes. He brought a new life to Ellington. He is a good man, a good Lord. So, we just need to listen to his orders! Check the battlefield, those who didn't die … … "
Tang En suddenly appeared and said: "Send them to Miss Grandia for treatment and then put them in prison as captives."
Tom, who originally wanted to give the order to finish the job, was stunned. He saluted together with the others: "Lord!"
"You did well, Tom. Kindness is the noblest quality of human beings … … Sometimes we need kindness to control our bottom line. If we lose a kind heart, we are no different from them."
Tang En pointed to the north: "Lawrence and his warriors abandoned all the good qualities of human beings in exchange for great power, but so what? As long as all of us are united, Ellington is invincible. "
Tang En patted Tom's shoulder: "Each of you is a part of Ellington, this beautiful home, and all of us are part of Prandal. There is no right or wrong in war, only interests. We are fighting for our home, so we are right. I hope that as warriors, you will also understand this point. "
Tom said firmly: "Yes! Lord! "
Then, he asked hesitantly: "But … … Lord, did you come here to supervise the battle? It should be more troublesome on the battlefield … … "
"Supervision? I don't have time for that. "
Tang En shook his head and slowly stepped into the void: "I only came to see the actual combat effect of the assault rifle … …"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang En had already disappeared.
Tom and the others looked at each other. A moment later, they were all flushed with excitement. "His Lordship is indeed powerful. He disappeared without a trace!"
"What do you mean disappeared? That's called a teleportation spell! It's a very powerful spell! "
"A very powerful spell? But isn't the effect the same as the return crystal we used? "
"Who do you think created the return crystal? If Lord can create the return crystal, it means that his magic cultivation is even more powerful! "
The group was arguing endlessly over Tang En's strength, but they all had one thing in common: they were not worried about Ellington, because they all believed that with such a powerful lord, Ellington would never fall!
If Tang En knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely sigh again.
He was very careful not to spoil these people. If they relied on him too much, how could they become powerful warriors?
When the Chaos army invaded, he needed a pack of wolves, not a flock of sheep.
Tang En floated above Ellington and looked down. Lawrence's actions made him very confused. These soldiers were definitely not ordinary people, but why did Lawrence think that he could continue to be the lord after exposing his own secret?
This crazy behavior was very illogical.
