Chapter 114: Times have changed

The short blazing flames bloomed from the muzzle, accompanied by the smell of

gunpowder, one by one spherical lead bullets swiftly passed through the air,

crushing a shield, iron pieces and sawdust splashing, and painful wailing

sounded in the street.

In the face of this new weapon, the old hard armor seemed useless. It was

penetrated by projectiles like paper, the flesh and bones were beaten blurred,

and a large number of casualties began to appear.

When Lorrain Hill stood on the tower and saw the round rod protruding from

behind the shield, his heart tightened with a creak, then the flames sounded,

the smoke filled with the gunpowder, and the rows of his own personnel fell

down, letting She clenched her fists.

As if there was a voice in his ear telling her.

‘My lord, times have changed. ’

No, it hasn't changed. She said to herself in her heart, and then walked down

the stairs, the red dress swayed quickly with her steps, and the solution to

the problem was rushing in her mind.

In the early years, the flintlock rifles were not fast loaded, lacked rifling,

and had low accuracy. They could not hit people if they were more than 200

meters away. Moreover, the gunpowder technology had not yet developed to the

point where the shooting power had not reached the penetration steel plate of

later generations. Degree.

Lorrain Hill’s self-comforting thoughts made him shocked. I didn’t expect the

world’s technological development to be so fast. Guns have already begun to be

installed, and they have good combat effectiveness. Or, is this the

inevitability of history?

After stepped out of the tower, she immediately issued an order to have the

people outside the chamber of commerce immediately retreat inside, close the

gate, and guard according to the building.

The Calitis Chamber of Commerce considered certain defense requirements at the

early stage of its establishment. The outer periphery is a low city wall,

about 6-7 meters high, and there are some watchtowers on the inner side, which

can be used to observe the enemy and use it for shooting.

Armed personnel of the Chamber of Commerce quickly retracted and retreated

after receiving an urgent retreat order. Fortunately, the flintlock or front

reloading speed was slow. After the first two rounds, the people behind had

already begun to move away and retreat, and the number of injured was suddenly

reduced. A lot, after all, its accuracy is too poor.

Tisifone’s team did not rush to catch up, because the charge was not finished

yet, and the formation was easy to disperse after running, the physical

exertion was also high, and it was impossible to kill a few more, so it still

maintained the original speed.

Calides’ teammate who had been shot before was quickly dragged back by the

people behind, and then everyone began to shrink, the gate was pulled down,

and some crossbowmen hid in the shooting hole on the wall to fight back.

Tisifone’s shield players easily blocked these counter-attack bows and arrows,

and the team continued to advance. They gradually approached the chamber of

commerce, and they could even see the long ladder raised behind the team. The

situation became more and more critical.

The spacious hall inside the Chamber of Commerce was temporarily transformed

into a medical rescue site. A small number of herbalists began to treat the

wounds of those injured urgently, and the sound of wailing and crying

surrounded the hall. In the courtyard stood more than two thousand warriors in

iron armor, plus some people stationed on the walls of the Chamber of

Commerce, this is the main fighting force of Karites.

These people have received a certain degree of military training and are more

combative and willful, but the others are more ordinary personnel without any

experience and preparation. It is okay to provide assistance and assistance. I

am afraid that I will be on the battlefield at this difficult time. flight.

-------------------

On the other side of Hopland, the Helliss and the Anemis fought fiercely.

Thanks to Meilu’s reform measures some time ago, in order to eliminate the

accumulated abuses and strengthen the control of the host family, the Hellis

family has expanded its armed forces a lot more than before, and they have

also purchased a batch of new weapons from Rulna. There is no such musket from

Tisifone's family, but it is much better than before.

In addition to being a little stunned at the beginning, Anemeyi was caught off

guard. The Hollis family quickly fought back. As the earliest large chamber of

commerce in Hopelander, although a little bloated, there are still a lot of

accumulated strength and treasure of.

An arborist wearing a dead leaf costume walked out of the team. The dusty

wooden boxes were opened, and the boxes were full of dried and yellowed

camellia flowers.

An old ballad was sung in the mouths of these arborists, and it was a little

vague, with overlapping tunes of different styles.

Along with these tunes, these dry yellow camellias floated out of thin air,

layered on top of each other, flying to the sky like a waterfall of flowers,

and then began to fall scattered.

The scattered camellias began to ignite spontaneously without fire, and fell

silently on the enemy. Seeing this, the Anemi’s family immediately found a

bucket to put out the burning companions, but unfortunately, even if they were

soaked, these camellias It still burns, its flame is like bone gangrene,

piercing leather and iron armor, causing the enemy to roll on the ground in

pain.

嗖——

嗖——

A faint sound ran across the night sky and nailed the arborists who wore dead

leaf costumes. The arborists who were hit by arrows fell down on the spot,

their faces turned blue and trembling all over, their pupils widened, and they

died of poisoning. .

The Hollis family was shocked and angry, and immediately organized its dense

shield to protect the remaining arborists, but without the observation aid of

the field of vision, the falling speed of the camellia in the sky began to

slow down significantly.

In the face of the fireworks of the Helis family, the Anemi family also began

to use their trump cards. With a fresh and good smell blowing in the wind,

many of the Helis family's armed personnel began to be paralyzed. Lost

consciousness, and then was chopped over by the enemy rushing up, breaking

through the formation.

But the camellia in the sky began to fall again, and the scattered camellia

fire ignited the enemies, streets, and debris below, and the streets were

blocked again.

The flame burned the air and exuded a strange fragrance, which filled the

street. The two sides stopped temporarily and faced each other through the

flame.

Noyce, the Patriarch of the Anemi family, was riding on the horse in neat and

beautiful golden armor. He was at the back of the team, looking at the burning

flame in front of him, and sighed.

"It is worthy of being the famous Hellis family who has rooted in Hopland for

nearly a thousand years. There are such trump cards, and the secrets are so

good that they have not even heard of it before."

"Pity."

Feng Na was standing under the horse, with a group of protective guards in

front of her. She was a little curious and asked, "What a pity father?"

Noyce lowered himself and touched Fuuno's hair.

"It's a pity that the times have changed, and there will be no Hollis house in

the future."

Some dark shadows began to appear in the corner of the Helliss house. These

dark shadows sneaked in through the internal work and opened the side door,

and began to rush to the main building of the Chamber of Commerce, because

there were the core personnel of the Helliss house.

"There are thorns..." Before several patrol members could speak out, they were

killed by the attacking black shadow, their mouths were covered and they fell

unwillingly~www.mtlnovel.com~ These dead assassins attacked all the way. Kill,

and quickly rushed into the main building of the Chamber of Commerce. At this

time, he was blocked by the guards in his hand. The emergency bronze bell

rang, and some armed personnel from the surrounding area began to rush in

quickly, but time was running out.

Cyan poisonous smoke filled the lobby of the main building, blocking the

rescuers. These assassins rushed up the stairs and opened the doors to search

one by one.

Because Mei Lu was in charge of the family affairs during this period, the

original owner, Hoth, had moved to the other side with Bell in order to avoid

suspicion, and the only direct member of the Hollies family still staying in

the main building was Mei Lu.

Some maids saw the assassin holding the sword, shouted in panic, and then fell

down with blood on their faces.

In a small room where cleaning tools and debris are usually stored, the head

maid forced Mei Lu into a low cabinet, trying to hide her in it.

"Let me go out, Aunt Lige, they are here for me."

Mei Lu looked at the old maid. She now has some wrinkles on her forehead and

her hair is messy.

"Shut up, what silly thing to say, live well."

After finishing talking, she closed the door of the cabinet, and then moved

other debris to block the small cabinet in the corner of the wall.

Meilu hid in the cabinet, it was dark, and only a trace of light was visible

from the crack in the cabinet door. Apart from her own heartbeat, there was

only the nervous breathing of the maid outside in her ears.

Then there was a rush of footsteps from far to near, breaking doors, shouting,

sword stabbing, falling, rummaging, getting closer and closer, and finally the

door of this utility room was kicked open.

The maid seemed to resist, and then there was a dull crash, and a body slowly

slid down against the cabinet door, covering the last exposed part of the

small cabinet.

Mei Lu held her breath, tears streaming down silently.
