Chapter 254

‘It doesn’t even reach one thousand . ’

Mills Voisa, with a pale face, exhaled a long sigh .

They received an unexpected attack at the Sedes Castle and lost thousands of soldiers .

And the retreat of suffering that followed .

In that process, the soldiers who suffered big and small wounds died or fell behind .

In the end, the number of soldiers who survived to the end and were following Mills’s back did not reach one thousand .

A wretched and horrid situation .

But even whilst that, there was a point that was good .

‘There is no pursuit force . ’

Mills tightly clenched his teeth .

‘A little more, let’s endure just a little more . If we can just join up with the Byron Kingdom Army……’

The moment his thought reached about that point .

Sswaeeeeck!

A sharp shriek of air struck his ears .

Pbububuck! Pbubuck!

Following that and together with chilling sounds, the commanders and soldiers who followed his sides fell .

“Huhph!”

Mills crouched his body with a greatly shocked expression .

‘Damn it!’

Curses naturally pushed up .

The commanders and soldiers all died with arrows struck on the center of their foreheads .

‘Perfect accuracy . ’

It was just a single shot .

A soldier fell per a single arrow shot .

‘A sickening archery skill like this……’

It simply couldn’t be seen as a human’s skill .

“Counter! Counter!”

“Raise the shields!”

“Shoot the arrows!”

The surviving commanders and knights gave out vain orders .

A final struggle .

Pbububuck! Pbubuck! Pbubuck!

Even during that time, the arrows endlessly poured down .

The arrows, as if they had eyes, perfectly pierced the knights and soldiers’ foreheads .

After who knew how long .

“……”

His surrounding became silent .

The sharp shrieks of air were no longer heard .

Similarly, the screams, curses, and the shouts filled with rage also weren’t heard .

“Ah……”

Mills let out a long sigh .

A despondent look was clear on his face .

‘Everyone is dead……’

The one that survived was only himself .

‘Damn! It!’

Mills who was completely crouching his body kicked off the ground and jumped up .

“Who is it! Come out! Come fight me fair and square!”

From rage and shame, he lost his sanity .

At that moment .

Sswaeeeeeck!

Once again a sharp shriek of the air pierced into his ears .

“Hph!”

Mills who had gotten completely frenzied gulped empty air without even having thought of dodging .

Puuck!

The arrow exactly pierced the tip of his helmet .

Clang!

A dull sound echoed as the iron helmet fell to the ground .

Gulp .

Mills dryly swallowed and brushed with his right hand the top of his head .

There was not one injured spot .

It had precisely taken off just the helmet .

It truly was a shocking archery skill .

“Uuuuh . ”

In the end, Mills powerlessly fell onto his knees .

It was the moment everything ended .

He stared at the hills with a blank gaze .

Soon, the owners of the ghostly archery skills showed themselves above it .

Hundreds of archers who deeply wore robes over their faces .

They, carrying across their backs arrows far longer than their bodies, casually walked up .

“Who, who are you……? Are you people Roan Lancephil sent?”

Mills asked with a powerless voice .

At that moment, the archer who was farthest up front took off the robe she had deeply worn .

“Ah……”

Mills let out a quiet exclamation .

The archer was a woman he too knew well of .

“Princess Aily……?”

Mills roundly opened his eyes .

‘But she hid her trails after her key action in the Capture of Miller……’

That her had suddenly appeared in the kingdom’s Northeastern Region .

Aily made a faint smile .

“Mills Voisa . I have been waiting . ”

It was a gentle and soft voice, but he felt a power that couldn’t be carelessly treated . It wasn’t comparable to Roan’s, but she too naturally exuded the aura of monarch as the queen of the elves .

“Had Roan Lancephil saw this far down, princess?”

Mills shook his head with a resigned look .

He raised his head and looked straight at Aily’s eyes .

“Then the Byron Kingdom Army and the Istel Kingdom Army’s situations too must not be good . ”

Aily slightly nodded her head at those words in place of an answer .

“Huu . ”

Mills couldn’t hold it in and spat out a long sigh .

He made a bitter smile as if having given up everything .

“Will you cut off my head, princess?”

A crestfallen voice .

Aily still faintly smiled and shook her head .

“No . Your life will be used at a far more important place . ”

“By important place……?”

Mills tilted his head with a puzzled look .

Aily, in a very small voice, answered as if to whisper .

“We……”

Her eyes twinkled and shone a light .

“Plan to trade with the Holy Palace . ”
