Chapter 200 Hunters and Prey

“Freckle!” Soone shouted, “He’s injured!”

“Do not move him!” Brian roared, “I’ll go and take a look at his injury, you continue shooting.”

He put his rifle in the hands of the recruit at his side, the one who was responsible for loading, and lowered his waist to approach the injured soldier. The wounded, who still hadn’t lost his consciousness, asked in a trembling voice, “Captain, I... am I going to die?”

The short spear had pierced him at the lower pit of the stomach, it was unclear if it had gone through, however, seeing that his breath still seed to be flowing freely, the spear must not have punctured his lung. During culture class, His Royal Highness had briefly described the various organs of the human body and which asures were to be taken in the case of an injury. The best solution Brian could think of at the mont, was to remain here and wait until the end of the fight, then allow for Miss Nana to co over and treat him.

“Does it hurt?” Brian asked.

Freckles nodded with difficulty.

“Since you can still feel pain it ans you won’t die,” to reassure the Knight, he put his hand on Freckle’s forehead. “You should know about Miss Nana ‘s ability, right?”

“Uhhn,” With difficulty, Freckles was able to show a smile. “During tis of peace, everyone... wants to go see her, putting it that way, I... I, I can finally see her, now.”

“That’s right! Therefore you have to persevere.”

When Brian returned to his shooting window, the recruit turned towards him and asked concerned. “Why didn’t you pull the spear out?”

“By pulling it out it is likely that instead of helping, it could cause massive bleeding, later in class you will also learn about this, and then everything will beco clear,” he paused. “The best we can now do for him, is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible.”

...

Standing on his heightened stage, Roland could clearly see the enemy rushing like a tide towards the town.

The mont they crossed the first row of bunkers, their speed slowed down a lot, by the ti they reached the third row of bunkers, the enemy’s flanks were fully exposed to riflen’s crossfire.

Echo’s task was quite obvious, even though the enemy’s force was stretched into a long line, most of them still acted in accordance with her unceasingly issued “concentrated charge” command, rushing along the road.

Every mont there were a lot of their people falling, and they couldn’t do anything about it. Having to face up against a fortification they couldn’t destroy with their spears and swords, Timothy’s militia force could do nothing except endure the casualties they faced and continue pushing forward.

After they passed the third row of bunkers, they crossed the 300 ters mark, which ant that now the cannons would now be loaded with canister shells. Among the gunner’s, stepping into this area was also known as entering into the death zone.

In the sky, Lightning had replaced her flag with one in bright red.

The angle of the 20 cannons were lying flat, their front spit out flas and thick smoke. Roland had roughly estimated, that the most skilled artillery group would be able to release one shrapnel shot every twenty seconds, while the slowest would needed around 30 seconds. At first glance, it seed that they ca close to the rate of fire of the best artillery groups during the Arican Civil War, but the latter’s three shots per minute were perford with solid shells, for which they had to clean the cannon repeatedly and aim it at the target once more. However, canister shells could be fired without aiming, and the cannon also didn’t need to be wiped, so it was only natural that the rate of fire would be fast.

For the enemy, such a rate of fire was terrible news. Furthermore, the canister shells’ kill and injure-rate without even aiming was especially astonishing, almost every iron bullet would penetrate two to three people. Although after taking the pill they could withstand a great deal of pain, the pills couldn’t also suppress fear.

When seeing how the people around them were slaughtered one after another, even if they were totally excited and thirsted after massacre, they were unable to suppress their body’s instinctual fear of death. Even more, they originally hadn’t been a iron-willed force, without their pills, these people were just a group of untrained, civilians lacking in true practical combat experience. When half of their force laid out on the road, the enemy began to flee.

Like a plague the fear quickly spread, what began with one person was soon followed by a second then a third, until the forefront eventually completely stopped with its assault, and instead wholly started to turn around and flee. Once again the artillery regint changed their ammunition to solid bullets, aiming at the center of the road, while the whole ti the bunkers had never ceased in their shooting.

Creating a pile of corpses laid on top of the road.

...

As Levin’s raging heart gradually cooled down, a feeling of fear began to grow within him.

In the beginning, more than 20 people had set out and discovered the witch wearing strange clothes, who created the chaos, hiding within the forest, almost perfectly integrating with the surrounding scenery. If she hadn’t moved forward along with the main force, always guiding the people to cram themselves together at the middle of the road, it would have been almost impossible for them to detect her.

Even after they had discovered her, she still caused considerable trouble to Levin. He found out that she didn’t need her mouth to imitate the voices and even more the sound drifted around without an anchored source. Sotis, it was coming from the left, other tis it would co from the right, and at tis even ca from behind him. The content was also varied, such as imitating his accent and giving orders or sending out a distressed call for help from a fellow militian.

But when they wanted to close in and seize her, the woman dressed in white appeared again.

Seeing her, Levin recalled the shocking scene of her killing Lehman Hawes.

In her hand she was grasping a silver-white “light crossbow”, and the mont she sent out a spark, with a loud bang, another person would fall.

The surrounding encirclent was instantaneously torn into shreds, all of them suddenly turning into frightened birds.

My armor doesn’t offer any protection, and using a shield also doesn’t work, the iron shield tied to Levin’s arm had been broken in half, seeing the hole in the tal told him how powerful that weapon really was.

I’m afraid the only weapon that can match up with this power is a heavy crossbow. If he hadn’t subconsciously lowered his head, he would have already beco a corpse by now.

But a heavy crossbow can’t be fired off in succession!

With her hiding ability and her unrivaled weapon, Levin realized that they stood no chance of winning. The mont he beca aware of this it felt as if he had t with a cold wind, his burning rage was quickly extinguished.

“Take the pills and kill her the mont she appears!”

Even though his mouth called to attack, Levin himself retreated, planning on running into the woods the mont she put her focus on the militia.

No, it should be even safer to stay within the large group, she will never dare attack when I’m inside the crowd!

Furthermore, this forest seed to have grown very strange, the thick weeds almost reaching to my knees, covering the vines below, as if they want to tripp . When he finally was able to stumble out of the woods, Levin looked toward the front, wanting to hide within the large group, yet the scene in front of him left him stunned.

The drug efficacy shouldn’t have co to its end, so why are they... retreating? No that’s not right, it should be said that they are running away. Those who move too slow or haven’t responded have been rcilessly pushed to the ground and later trampled on. Previous during the charge they ran as fast as horses, but now with the escape it was the sa, during their raging flight they were throwing dust into the sky. Seeing such a situation, he did not dare to co close to in the attempt to stop them.

In the end, what happened? Levin was unable to process the situation, in such a short ti, how was it possible to entirely defeat the 1500 people? Even more, since all of them had taken those pills! Are the Prince’s n actually monsters?

At this mont, from behind him, the sound of soone stepping on weeds could be heard. Gritting his teeth, Levin suddenly drew his sword and stabbed with it behind himself. At this critical mont of life and death, his quick drawing technique was faster than ever before, like a flash of lightning. Nevertheless, he was still greeted by a dazzling fla. His blade was hit by sothing, sending sparks flying, and stabbing into his hand, instantly erasing the feelings from his fingertips.

When he moved his line of sight towards his arm, Levin saw that half of his arm was missing, exposing red and white muscles and bones, like a flower in full bloom. The woman in white looked at him with a blank expression. Unable to confront her, he couldn’t help but back up several steps, tripping over a weed.

The mont he laid still, the witch placed her foot on his shoulder and pressed her cold weapon against his forehead. From his perspective on the ground, Levin could see the face hidden under the hood.

So... beautiful.

Was his final thought as the gunshot rang out.
