Chapter 135
One type was like the runes on the enchanted bows, which added auxiliary states, allowing the enchanted bows to have longer range, greater power, more precision, and be less strenuous to use!
There was also a type that could be added to the iron arrowheads, allowing them to have better penetrating power!
Under the blessing of these magic runes, combined with the astonishing power of the arrows themselves, many arrows pierced directly through the armor of the Slo family warriors, boring through their bodies!
Their armor was not crafted by dwarves; in terms of protective power, it didn't even compare to the first batch of armor for the Centaur warriors!
Below, the 100 survivors were completely bewildered.
In less than half a minute, their comrades around them had fallen one after another, leaving only a few dozen of them scattered about.
But immediately, they followed in the footsteps of the others.
A large number of arrows struck them!
Then, outside Sir Hawke's territory, not a single Slo family warrior remained standing.
Behind Sir Hawke, the blue-robed administrative official was dumbfounded!
He doubted his own eyes!
He desperately wanted to tell himself this wasn't real!
The Slo family's private army was the most elite force in the entire eastern region, aside from the church and royal armies.
The royal army was divided into several tiers, and the Slo family's private army was actually more elite than some royal army units!
Yet now, these elite warriors had all fallen in less than a minute.
Even some of the Second or Third Rank warriors among them hadn't blocked the Winged Ones' attack!
Second or Third Rank referred to the power they could exert and a certain reaction speed, but in terms of defense, they weren't much stronger than anyone else; if they were hit by an arrow, they would still die!
Especially since the Winged Ones were using enchanted bows firing iron arrows engraved with magic runes!
The blue-robed administrative official began to tremble uncontrollably!
He couldn't help but tremble.
It was simply too terrifying.
His face had turned deathly pale.
He was completely falling apart!
What happened today would become his lifelong nightmare, if he could even survive today!
Not only was the blue-robed administrative official stunned.
The surrounding commoners and nobles were also stunned.
The commoners were basically all on Sir Hawke's side, and many were quite sympathetic to him.
When they saw that Sir Hawke, a Viscount, was about to be killed by the Slo family, many commoners felt quite indignant, wishing they could tear that enfeoffed knight to pieces!
And then, that enfeoffed knight was truly torn to pieces!
Blasted into smithereens by Sister Sister Mengying's magic, which was no different from being torn to pieces!
Seeing this scene, these commoners felt absolutely thrilled.
But immediately, something even more thrilling and shocking came.
The Winged Ones in the sky had wiped out the Slo family's warriors in less than a minute!
This was too frightening.
So much so that these commoners all stared blankly at the Slo family warriors lying all over the ground, their expressions extremely dull!
The nobles were the same.
But they thought about more!
They knew the power of the Slo family better than these commoners.
But in the face of such a powerful Slo family, these Winged Ones had attacked brazenly; didn't this mean that war was about to descend?
The Winged Ones' combat effectiveness also shocked them!
For a moment, these nobles were all a bit frightened; although there were many people around, they felt no sense of security, fearing that the Winged Ones would kill them too.
But they didn't dare run, because no one else was running; if they ran, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?
Before these nobles, those few noble young ladies covered their mouths one after another.
They had only seen Sister Sister Mengying raise her hand, and that powerful enfeoffed knight was blasted to pieces!
They had also seen Sister Sister Mengying say just one sentence, and three thousand elite Slo family warriors had fallen dead!
Although they were mages, they had never been on a battlefield and had never seen such a scene!
The corpses all over the ground, and the screams and groans of many Slo family warriors, assaulted their hearts.
It scared their faces white!
They finally vaguely understood that although Sister Sister Mengying was the same age as them, her level was already far beyond theirs!
Two of the quicker-reacting noble young ladies had already hidden away, fearing that Sister Sister Mengying would order them to be killed.
In the crowd, the Archmage Oliver's eyes also narrowed!
The strength of these Winged One warriors was completely beyond his expectations!
This force of three thousand, even if faced with two thousand human kingdom archers, could have annihilated the opponent with at most a few hundred deaths.
But Oliver never expected them to be defeated so quickly, so thoroughly, and so decisively!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Slo family's warriors were all dead!
Only one blue-robed civil official with no combat ability remained!
No one recognized his identity.
But Oliver was not prepared to leave.
He was a Sixth Rank Archmage!
The old steward's words had given him hope of inheriting the Count's vast fortune!
Therefore, he wanted to let these orcs know what an Archmage was!
He also wanted to let the people around see that the Slo family—the Slo family that might belong to him—must never be offended!
He even more wanted the old Count to see that he could turn the tide!
Oliver took out a magic stone; a complex incantation had already been activated by him!
On the back of the female Winged One, Sister Sister Mengying was not surprised by such a result.
The Winged Ones' archery was not bad to begin with, and they had been practicing every day recently; combined with enchanted bows, if they couldn't achieve this result against a mere noble's private army—even a relatively elite one—she would be the one surprised.
Seeing that all the Slo family warriors had been killed, she scanned the area, then cast an amplification spell and said indifferently:
"The Slo family maliciously blocked the sale of the Flame Kingdom's God Beans and secretly plotted a conspiracy against the Fire Kingdom. The Flame Kingdom has no intention of going to war with the Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom, but the Slo family has been regarded as an enemy by the Flame Kingdom and must be eliminated today!"
Sister Sister Mengying's cold words caused a stir among the surrounding commoners and nobles!
After the previous incident, the commoners were actually happy to see the Slo family suffer; at this moment, the Flame Kingdom's actions made them feel incredibly gratified!
Who told the Slo family not to let the potatoes be sold, cutting off their hope?
Those nobles also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What they feared most was a full-scale war between the Flame Kingdom and the Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom.
Although they had never heard of the Flame Kingdom before, and a moment ago they still thought it was just an orc nation east of the Misty Mountains, not worth fearing.
But the performance of these two thousand Winged One warriors had frightened them.
Possessing such a powerful air force, and with such good equipment, and since orcs were famous for their robust physiques, the ground troops were likely the main event; the strength of that Flame Kingdom was definitely not as weak as they had imagined.
Once a fight broke out, it would likely be quite intense.
That would be miserable for them, the nobles whose territories were in the eastern region!
They would have to drag their families and flee to other regions; without the continuous income from their territories, their lives wouldn't be nearly as comfortable!
But now it seemed they didn't need to worry!
Immediately, their desire to watch the spectacle rose again.
The Flame Kingdom was going to take action against the Slo family?
This was a big deal!
The Slo family was the largest family in the eastern region!
Their strength was not weak!
And the Slo family still had a Sixth Rank Archmage who hadn't appeared yet; that was the Slo family's true foundation!
Besides, once a fight started, the church and the royal family wouldn't just stand by, would they?
