Chapter 134

On that flag was also a flame symbol; it seemed this was the national flag of the Flame Kingdom!

As for the Winged Ones in the sky, since they were all over a hundred meters up, the people couldn't see them very clearly, but they could roughly make out the neat armor on their bodies!

"What Flame Kingdom? Aren't they just a bunch of savages?"

A noble young lady said with disdain.

Her father couldn't help but glance at her. This noble father did not recognize Sister Sister Mengying; otherwise, if he knew that the Archmage his daughter had provoked was not far away, he would have been terrified beyond measure!

On the ground, the administrative official glanced at the Archmage Oliver not far away, feeling a bit more confident.

He represented the powerful Slo family, after all.

Since this Flame Kingdom was just an orc nation east of the mist, what was there to be afraid of?

Therefore, the administrative official immediately puffed out his chest and said:

"That's right. Your God Beans are priced too low, which constitutes unfair competition and affects grain sales in the eastern region. The Count has ordered the interception of your God Beans in accordance with the law. From now on, your God Beans are forbidden from being sold in the Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom!"

Sister Sister Mengying said indifferently: "Our potatoes are about to rot. What if we insist on selling them?"

The administrative official said: "That will be considered defiance of the law. Even if you are from an orc nation, you will be sentenced to hanging!"

"Hanging? I'd like to see if you dare to hang me!"

The administrative official's words made Sir Hawke completely furious.

No one would be in a good mood after having their front door blocked by troops for the better part of the day.

He was a noble of the kingdom, and a noble with military merits at that!

To have another great noble block his gate for some trumped-up reason had already filled him with a blaze of anger!

As soon as Sir Hawke finished speaking, he took the horse of a carriage filled with potatoes and charged out of the gate!

The administrative official's expression changed slightly: "Sir Hawke, please don't make things difficult for us."

"Swish!"

Behind the administrative official, more Slo family warriors drew their swords.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers around all stretched their necks.

"Fight! Fight!"

Those noble young ladies were chanting there, all hoping the two sides would fight so they could see Sister Sister Mengying suffer!

"Stop! One more step forward and you will be killed without mercy!"

A warrior of the Slo family shouted loudly.

This warrior was the commander of the Slo family's private troops and a powerful enfeoffed knight with the strength of a Fifth Rank!

He was much stronger than Sir Hawke!

This was the foundation of the Slo family: numerous experts and powerful military strength!

"Killed without mercy? I'd like to see if you dare to kill a Viscount of the kingdom!"

Sir Hawke snorted lightly and continued forward, leading the horse.

The Fifth Rank enfeoffed knight saw that Sir Hawke really wasn't stopping, so his gaze turned to Oliver not far away, and he saw Oliver nod slightly.

The knight was slightly startled!

He hadn't expected Oliver to really want him to take action and kill a Viscount of the kingdom!

In ancient times, it was a tradition that nobles could not be killed; even if an enemy nation was defeated on the battlefield, the enemy nobles would not be killed, as they could pay gold coins to ransom themselves.

But as the War of Faith grew more intense, this tradition had long been lost.

Even so, killing a Viscount of the kingdom, especially during a relatively peaceful period, was an act that easily caused a huge uproar.

"It seems the Count also wants to use this incident to demonstrate to all the nobles in the east, and even to the royal family!"

As a confidant of Count Slo, this enfeoffed knight knew quite a few things.

The royal family had been secretly suppressing Count Slo in recent years; how could the always-dominant Count Slo endure that!

This was an opportunity for a show of force.

This was also a plan long set by the old Count of the Slo family. If Sir Hawke was sensible, fine; if not, he would be killed directly, which would serve perfectly to demonstrate to the royal family. Anyway, the Slo family had already dragged Bishop Bowman into the water and possessed church documents, so the royal family wouldn't dare do anything to them!

They could also demonstrate to all the other nobles along the way!

This was the arrogance of the Slo family!

Killing nobles who provoked them—this sort of thing hadn't happened for the first time!

By this time, Sir Hawke had already passed the blue-robed administrative official.

Several Slo family warriors drew their swords and rushed toward Sir Hawke, but Sir Hawke was powerful and actually kicked these warriors away!

"Sir Hawke, you have ignored church law and forcibly rammed Count Slo's law enforcement troops. I have no choice but to kill you!"

The enfeoffed knight drew his sword, gave a light shout, and attacked Sir Hawke!

Sir Hawke was no match for this Fifth Rank enfeoffed knight!

But Sir Hawke didn't dodge or evade, instead looking coldly at the enfeoffed knight.

The enfeoffed knight's greatsword was about to strike Sir Hawke.

Many people's hearts rose to their throats.

"They really dare to kill!"

Some nobles were also frightened by the Slo family's arrogance.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

A fireball descended from the sky, blasting the powerful enfeoffed knight into smithereens!

This sudden change stunned everyone at the scene.

"Order the command: kill them all."

In the sky, after Sister Sister Mengying killed the Fifth Rank enfeoffed knight with one strike, she issued the order to attack.

As soon as Sister Sister Mengying's order was given, the Winged One warrior next to her holding the flag waved it gently!

This was flag signaling!

All warriors of the Flame Kingdom were trained to recognize flag signals!

Once the signal was given, the arrows of the two thousand Winged One warriors in the sky were shot down.

The bows they used were not the longbows over 1.5 meters used by the Fox-folk, but slightly shorter bows that were easier to carry.

These bows were also enchanted, with a slightly shorter range.

Longbows excelled at parabolic shots, while these shorter bows were quite effective for direct strikes.

The Winged Ones' high-altitude attacks, shooting from the sky, possessed natural gravitational acceleration.

Shooting from the sky meant they didn't need to use parabolic shots like longbows for long-distance attacks, and the Winged Ones had an excellent view from the sky, allowing them to see the enemies' weaknesses and perform precision strikes.

These two thousand Winged One warriors had long been prepared.

As soon as they received Sister Sister Mengying's order, the people below only saw a dense rain of arrows descending from the sky!

These arrows were not blind shots like longbows firing from hundreds of meters away!

They were highly precise strikes!

Of course, because some Winged Ones chose the same targets, this round of arrow rain did not kill 2,000 people one-for-one.

But on the ground, half of the Slo family's warriors fell instantly!

After being hit by the arrows, some warriors died immediately.

Some warriors were not dead yet, but many, in their agony, let out pig-like screams on the ground.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

As soon as this round of arrow rain ended, the second round began immediately!

On the ground, those Slo family warriors who hadn't figured out the situation encountered a second strike!

Instantly, screams rang out again in a chorus.

After two rounds of arrow rain, of the 3,000 Slo family warriors, fewer than 100 remained standing.

After all, many Winged Ones had overlapping targets, and many warriors had two or three arrows stuck in them; these were generally dead on the spot!

The armor on these warriors couldn't save their lives!

The Winged Ones targeted the weak points on their bodies, and the arrowheads they used were extremely sharp iron tips forged with lava fire and engraved with magic runes, possessing considerable penetrating power.

Lin Yan had also made some changes to the lava fire, dividing it into several categories; one was for increasing protective power, which meant adding defense.
