System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 762 - 253: Direct Execution (10,000 Words) (Part 3)
As long as Frank Manor is given enough time.
They still have a chance to confront Lynn head-on!
Clop~Clop~
At this moment.
The sound of galloping hooves arose ahead of them on their march.
And quickly approached from afar.
Joao squinted his eyes following the torchlight, staring straight ahead.
When he recognized the cavalry’s attire, Joao’s heart relaxed slightly.
He explained to Janet beside him.
"Janet, the spy I sent out has returned."
"It seems the fire in Morgan Town was just an accident."
Janet nodded upon hearing this.
She was about to speak.
But noticed the spy rushing towards them, stumble. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Directly falling off the horse, landing about ten meters in front of them.
Joao and Janet’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.
Two manor soldiers holding torches strode forward to check the fallen spy’s condition.
When they saw the sharp arrow piercing the spy’s chest, blood flowing continuously.
The spy had already lost signs of life.
The two manor soldiers looked shocked and quickly looked up, loudly alerting Joao and Janet.
"Dead!"
"The spy was shot dead!"
Listening to the manor soldiers’ shouts, Joao’s face changed dramatically.
He quickly spoke to Janet: "Not good, Janet, we’ve fallen into an ambush!"
"We must retreat immediately!"
Janet already understood the reason, "Blade Wind Corps... were completely wiped out by Lynn?"
From the time they saw the flames at Frank Manor Castle and decided, to gathering more manor soldiers, rushing to Morgan Town.
The total time was just about half an hour.
The Blade Wind Corps with thousands of mercenaries, such a weak defense?
Joao’s mouth opened slightly, about to respond.
In front of them.
One sharp sound of breaking through the air followed another.
Swish swish swish~
This sound was both unfamiliar and extremely familiar to Joao and Janet.
It seemed so familiar.
The next second.
Joao’s face changed suddenly, he shouted loudly to Janet and the soldiers behind him.
"Arrow rain!"
"Defense, quickly find obstacles to hide behind!"
As soon as his words fell.
Arrow after arrow sketched a beautiful arc in the air.
Falling like rain down upon the Frank Manor soldiers on the clearing.
Regardless of whether the Frank Manor soldiers wore chain armor.
Under the triangular armor-piercing arrows, they were instantly penetrated!
One after another hit the flesh bodies.
Even.
Soldiers hit at fatal points couldn’t even cry out in pain before falling lifeless to the ground.
Not just the soldiers.
Even the horses were relentlessly hit amid such a massive arrow rain.
Letting out sharp and painful cries...
Joao atop his horse exerted force in his legs, leaped off the horse, and lunged towards Janet beside him.
In Janet’s terrified expression, Joao held her tightly in front of him.
Just before hitting the ground, Joao twisted his body.
Using his body as a lower cushion to lessen Janet’s injuries.
Joao didn’t hesitate, grabbing a nearby standing soldier.
He didn’t care about the soldier’s gaze, using him as a human shield.
Swish swish swish~
Several arrows shot down fiercely, covering and hitting the soldier’s body in front of Joao.
The soldier originally full of fear, was directly shot into a sieve from behind.
After doing all this.
Joao then turned his head and looked at Janet in his arms.
He breathlessly asked: "Janet, are you alright?"
This sudden change made Janet, already pale, even more so.
She checked herself, confirmed nothing abnormal or painful, and responded.
"Uncle Joao, I think I’m okay."
Joao heard this, relaxed his words, "That’s good!"
The next second.
Janet’s eyes widened, staring at Joao’s abdomen.
Her voice broke briefly: "Uncle Joao... you’ve been hit by an arrow!"
Joao followed Janet’s gaze.
Only to see.
An arrow had penetrated his chain armor, embedding within.
One strand after another of blood flowed out.
Staining his chain armor and inner garments red.
Joao directly reached out his left hand, under Janet’s gaze, forcibly pulled it out.
"It’s nothing, just a minor arrow wound."
"It won’t be the end of Joao!"
Janet’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
She clearly saw, in Joao’s withdrawal of the arrow, blood flow notably increased!
Joao didn’t discard the arrow, instead carefully examining it.
Watching the arrowhead stained with blood, holding three sharp edges.
Joao muttered in a deep voice: "Triangular Armor-Piercing Arrow!"
Both he and Janet were familiar with such arrows.
Exactly the terrifying arrows shot by Lynn’s archers.
Faced with triangular armor-piercing arrows, their ordinary armor was like paper!
Simply unable to withstand the arrow’s damage!
Discarding the arrow.
Joao turned to look behind Janet.
Under the cover of the arrow rain.
The manor soldiers he had just recruited, each riddled with arrows.
Their eyes wide open, staring at the sky, fallen to the ground.
