Chapter 1096: Chapter 309: Extraordinary Archery (10,000 Words)

Under the leadership of Manor Lord Devant.

A total of four thousand five hundred guards and peasants marched in orderly steps, heading grandly towards the darkness outside the manor estate.

They either held scimitars and longswords or used iron farming tools for cultivation.

Or they raised their torches high to illuminate the dark road ahead.

At the forefront of the team.

Devant, with a solemn expression, sat steadily atop his horse.

His body swayed back and forth continuously with the horse’s strides.

Devant’s brows furrowed tightly as he turned to glance behind him.

The burning glow of the torches illuminated a sea of unfamiliar faces.

The reason for dispatching all the guards and peasants together.

Was naturally to ensure his personal safety!

All the guards and peasants could die in battle.

Only he, as the Manor Lord, could not!

These four thousand five hundred guards and peasants were not only to showcase the military might possessed by Benitez Manor.

But also to intimidate the armored soldiers intruding into Benitez Manor!

Even if Lord Lynn of Morgan Town dispatched a thousand armored soldiers to invade his manor lands.

With the number of guards and peasants he had.

They could easily have three guards and peasants beat one armored soldier to death!

Devant’s tense heart slightly relaxed.

His gaze shifted to the Guard Captain Callum, who rode alongside him.

"Callum, how far is it to the agreed location?"

Upon hearing Devant’s inquiry, Callum quickly responded.

"Master, it’s at most twenty minutes away."

Callum shifted his tone, reminding him.

"But Master, you need to be mentally prepared."

"Because that plot of farmland just went through a charge by the armored cavalry, and the ground is strewn with the corpses of guards, in complete disarray..."

Devant glared at Callum and said somewhat displeased.

"What? Do you think I’d be afraid of such a scene?"

"When I experienced large-scale battles, you didn’t even know where you were!"

Callum, flustered, quickly lowered his head and responded.

"It’s Callum who offended you, Master, please forgive me..."

Devant snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze from Callum.

The guards and peasants’ team continued to advance.

A succession of footsteps sounded continuously under the night sky.

Devant’s gaze cautiously swept the surroundings.

Gradually.

Devant’s eyes widened, staring straight at the distant darkness.

And as the team continued to move forward.

A shock appeared in Devant’s eyes.

As a gap appeared in the clouds above the night sky.

Under the faint starlight, Devant clearly saw.

In the distant darkness, there were rows of neatly arranged black silhouettes!

No movement, no words.

The multitude of them extended beyond what the eye could see!

Just as the patrolling guard returning to the manor estate had reported to him.

This cavalry clad in black-gray armor with full iron helmets seemed like dark knights from the abyss!

Like a steel torrent!

Coupled with the night breeze, full of a thick bloody smell, gently wafting into the nose and mouth.

And on the ground, the corpses of guards from Benitez Manor...

The intense visual impact and overwhelming pressure.

Caused Devant’s chest to heave rapidly, his breathing becoming quick.

Devant understood.

The armored cavalry ahead was from Morgan Town, the armored cavalry owned by Lord Lynn!

Only with such powerful military force.

Could he, without the slightest effort, wipe out Connelly Manor and Louis Manor in Alba Town overnight?

Beyond this, Devant could think of no other possibility.

Powerful, murderous, and awe-inspiring!

Not only did Devant see the phalanx of armored soldiers ahead.

But so did Callum, riding on horseback, and the many guards and peasants behind.

A procession of terrified discussions erupted from the ranks of guards and peasants.

"Look, what are those things?"

"Those are... cavalry! Armored cavalry!"

"God, how could there be so many armored cavalry in the master’s manor?"

"I heard a squad of armored cavalry was hunting the patrolling guards in the master’s manor lands, could it be them?"

"Are we supposed to fight them?"

"..."

Listening to the terrified discussions behind, Devant’s face fell, filled with anger.

No need for Devant to give an order.

Callum suddenly turned and shouted harshly at the many guards and peasants behind.

"Silence!"

The many guards and peasants immediately quieted down.

Under Callum’s gaze, they lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes for even a moment.

Callum’s authority in Benitez Manor instilled fear in them.

After organizing the guards and peasants, Callum urged his horse forward, coming to Devant’s side.

Callum quickly reminded, "Master, the number of armored cavalry on the other side has noticeably increased!"

"I roughly estimated with a glance, the number of armored cavalry... is at least over a thousand!"

Devant’s eyebrows twitched suddenly, his eyes continuously scanning ahead, repeating Callum’s words.

"Over a thousand..."

A sense of inexplicable relief surfaced in Devant’s heart.

Fortunately, he brought out all the guards and peasants from the manor estate.

If, like Callum, he had only brought a few dozen guards.
