Chapter 574 Chaos & Confusion
"Everyone, quickly!
Seal up the third gate now!"
"Yes, Commander Charles!"
(*\u003e-_-)
.
"Charge!"
’Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!’
The enemy burst through the second gate like madmen.
They ran like a single unstoppable unit, who were hell-bent on getting their way.
But suddenly, all those on the front of the line fell in one swoop... Causing those behind them to also fall forward like dominos as well.
’Bam!’
’Bam!’
’Bam!’
’Bam!’
’Ahh!’
"You F**ker, why did you just fall all of a sudden?"
"Look at what you’ve done!
You’ve stabbed me, you bastard!"
"Bloody Hell!
I knew that you guys from Crown Prince Eli’s team were definitely up to no good."
"Bastard!
What did you say right now?
Me stabbing you was purely an accident alright?"
"Accident my Foot!
Stand there and let me accidentally stab you too... That way, we will be even."
"I dare you to touch me, you good-for-nothing."
’Sling!’
Once again, the men continued fighting amongst themselves again.
After all, no one could truly blame them... As some people had accidentally killed and even stabbed others while falling from the invisible attack.
Who knew if during the battle, either side would take advantage of the situation and get rid of each other?
It wasn’t above their leaders to do so... So everyone treaded cautiously on this matter.
Anyway... At the speed at which they were running close to one another, just that single role was enough to make more than 20 rows of men at the forefront to fall defeatedly.
Some accidentally knocked the back of other’s heads with their shields, while others been injured or killed instead.
And the fact that each enemy team hated one another to the bones, was enough reason for many of them to feel that it was very intentional.
So how could they possibly let it go just like that?
Especially when their brothers had died right in front of them?
"You son of a b**ch!
You definitely killed him on purpose."
"I already told you that it was an accident.
But even still... So what if I did?"
"Scoundrel!!
So you’re finally admitting it!"
"Yes!
I killed him, so what?
Can trashy people from your camp be of any use?
Hmph!
You should be glad that I gave him a befitting war burial."
"Ahhhh!!!"
’Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!’
.
The intruders fought for a bit, before those at the forefront had finally convinced the rest that it was the enemy’s trick.
Yes!
They had fallen over thick black stretched rope instead.
How clever!
Of course..... William had previously seen how they had fought one another, and immediately concluded that there were 2 separate enemy teams here that apparently hated each other deeply.
At first, he just thought that it was a single enemy that blocked both cave entrances.
But who would’ve known that he would be attacked by 2 distinct teams on the same night at the same time?
Truly miraculous!
Anyway, seeing the tension between both enemy teams... William decided to make the best of it with that simple yet very effective trick.
And while they were arguing it out, he had instructed Capris to finally send 100 men to escape immediately.
One shouldn’t forget that his sole mission for coming out here was to buy more time for everyone... Including those who were fighting on the battlefield with him right now.
So amongst the 145 men, he sent 100 away and stayed with the remaining 45... Who were all archers, excluding Capris.
"Farewell Commander Charles!"
"Farewell Commander Charles!"
"Farewell!"
.
William finally looked at his elite archers on top of the third wall, before once again looking at the intruders.
And when he saw that he got them right where he wanted them, he hastily gave off a signal to the archers above.
Of course from there, the elite archers took aim at the targeted spots on the field and quickly made their move.
He watched the enemy run in arrogantly, before finally signalling the archers to make their move.
’Thup! Thup! Thup! Thup! Thup!’
Arrows carrying small tubes of black-powder were launched into the air swiftly.
The arrows landed on the trails of black-powder that had been previously spread all across the second sector.
Several sparks were set on the field, and for a moment, the enemies had no idea of what to expect.
They saw the sparks of fire move as if they had a mind of their own, and very quickly... Many of them avoided the sparks by running up and down like fools instead.
This was black-powder for heavens’ sake.
So even if the sparks were beautifully dancing and gliding on the trail of black-powder, they didn’t dare to come close to it... For fear that it might explode instead, just like how they typically exploded when launched from arrows.
But how could they possibly understand the physics behind it all?
Actually, if they had stepped forward and out off the flames in the trails... Then everything would’ve been fine.
Of course, that wasn’t what they did... Was it?
"Run!
Run!
The fire is coming this way!"
"No, it’s moving in a circle instead."
"Move Dammit!
Get out of the way
I said move!!!!"
.
Once again, William had successfully created chaos and confusion within the enemy... And now, they were running around the second sector haphazardly.
But no matter how they ran, no one dared to put out the sparks that continuously danced around the field arrogantly.
How would they dare?
Of course, it wasn’t long before these sparks of fire finally made it to their designated barrels.
’Boom!’
More than 150 barrels of black-powder had gone off, creating a massive explosion in the second sector.
Several large smoky mushroom clouds had gone up in the sky, as well as some body parts too.
The floor had now been dyed red..... and for a moment, time froze for many.
The enemies, as well as the elite Archer’s looked at the whole thing with their jaws wide open in shock.
F***!
What do they just witness?
