Chapter 275

One type is like the runes on an enchanted bow, adding auxiliary effects to increase range, power, accuracy, and reduce fatigue!

Another type is magic runes added to iron arrowheads, enhancing their penetration!

Under the power of these magic runes, combined with the arrows' own incredible force, many arrows pierced straight through the Slough family warriors' armor, drilling through their bodies!

Their armor wasn't forged by dwarves—it couldn't even match the first batch of armor worn by centaur warriors!

Below, the 100 survivors were completely stunned.

In less than half a minute, their comrades fell one after another, leaving only a scattered few dozen of them.

But soon, they met the same fate as the others.

Volumes of arrows struck them!

Then, outside Lord Hawk's territory, not a single Slough family warrior remained standing.

Behind Lord Hawk, the blue-robed administrator was dumbfounded!

He doubted his own eyes!

He wanted to tell himself this wasn't real!

The Slough family's private army was the most elite force in the entire eastern region, second only to the Church and the Royal Army!

The Royal Army itself had several tiers—the Slough family's private army was actually more elite than some units of the Royal Army!

Yet now, these elite warriors all fell within less than a minute.

Even some of the Second or Third Rank warriors couldn't withstand the winged beings' attacks!

Second or Third Rank refers to the level of power and reaction speed one can exert, but in defense, they aren't significantly stronger—take one arrow, and they die just the same!

Especially since the winged beings used enchanted bows firing iron arrowheads inscribed with magic runes!

The blue-robed administrator trembled uncontrollably!

He couldn't help but tremble.

It was simply too terrifying.

His face had turned deathly pale.

He was utterly shattered!

What happened today would become his lifelong nightmare—if he survived today!

Not only the blue-robed administrator was stunned.

The surrounding civilians and nobles were stunned too.

The civilians mostly sided with Lord Hawk; many felt deep sympathy for him.

When they saw Lord Hawk, a viscount, about to be killed by the Slough family, many civilians were filled with rage, wishing to tear that enfeoffed knight into a thousand pieces!

And then, that enfeoffed knight really was torn into a thousand pieces!

He was blown to dust by Meng Ying's spell—no different from being torn into a thousand pieces!

Seeing this, the civilians' joy exploded.

But then came something even more thrilling and shocking.

The winged beings in the sky wiped out the entire Slough family army in under a minute!

That was terrifying.

As a result, the civilians stared dumbfounded at the sea of fallen Slough warriors, their faces blank with shock!

The nobles were the same.

But they thought more deeply!

They understood the Slough family's strength better than these civilians.

Yet these winged beings had launched a direct attack against such a powerful force—didn't that mean war was imminent?

The winged beings' combat power also shocked them deeply!

For a moment, the nobles were all frightened—even surrounded by crowds, they felt no safety, fearing the winged beings might kill them next.

But they didn't dare flee, because no one else was running—if they ran, wouldn't they draw too much attention?

Before these nobles, several noble girls covered their mouths.

They had seen Meng Ying raise her hand—and that powerful enfeoffed knight exploded into fragments!

They had seen Meng Ying speak just one sentence—and three thousand elite Slough family warriors dropped dead!

Though they were mages, they had never been on a battlefield, never witnessed such a scene!

The ground littered with corpses, the screams and moans of the dying Slough warriors struck their souls.

They turned pale with fear!

They finally understood dimly: though Meng Ying was their age, her level had long surpassed theirs by an unimaginable margin!

Two quick-witted noble girls had already hidden themselves, terrified Meng Ying might order them killed.
