Although the militia suffered heavy losses, most of the dead were civilians who were temporarily recruited. The real militia, protected by shields, were getting closer and closer to the city walls of Feiyu Town.

Baron Williams immediately ordered, "Fire the crossbows!"

"Yes, sir!" The commander of the crossbow cart leaned forward and received the order.

He turned and shouted to the militia operating the crossbow:

"Load the crossbow cart, pull the string and put the arrow on it!"

"Yes!" the militia responded in unison.

They moved the crossbow cart to aim at the enemy in front, then turned the windlass hard, slowly pulled the crossbow string through the traction rope, and then put the giant arrow into the arrow slot.

"Crossbows ready!"

"put!"

At the commander's command, the militiamen fired crossbows one after another, and giant crossbow arrows shot towards the enemy.

"Whizzing!"

Accompanied by a loud sound of breaking through the air, the crossbow arrows hit the militia of Yinye Town hard.

The huge impact force allowed the crossbow arrow to easily penetrate the militiaman's body, knocking him several meters away and nailing him to the ground. The flowing blood dyed the surrounding land red.

Even the militiamen holding shields were not spared. The simple wooden shields were simply unable to withstand the crossbow attacks and were shattered as soon as they came into contact.

The militiamen behind the shields were like paper, and they were torn into pieces in an instant. Blood splattered on the other militiamen, scaring them so much that they stood there in a daze.

Before they could recover, another crossbow arrow flew towards them.

A militiaman who was standing there in a daze was hit by a crossbow arrow and was blown away. The crossbow arrow that hit him continued to be powerful and pierced through two more militiamen, turning them into skewers.

Just one round of crossbow fire was enough to shatter the militia team, causing heavy casualties.

The battlefield was littered with broken limbs, blood flowed like streams, and the air was filled with the cries of the dying.

For a moment, the open space in front of Feiyu Town seemed to have turned into a Shura hell, which made people feel terrified.

Not only were the militiamen of Yinye Town frightened out of their wits, but even the instigators of Feiyu Town looked at this picture of hell with horror on their faces, and then made vomiting sounds.

This cannot be blamed on them. These militiamen who had little experience in fighting had never seen such a bloody scene. It was good enough that they did not become weak in the knees.

Baron Williams looked ahead without changing his expression. Having been through many battles, he was already accustomed to the bloodiness on the battlefield and did not feel the slightest bit of pity in his heart.

"Go on," Williams said calmly.

"Yes, sir. Load the crossbows!" the commander ordered the militia again.

The militiaman operating the crossbow cart suppressed the nausea in his stomach and began to turn the winch to place the crossbow arrow.

"The enemy is five hundred steps ahead, fire the crossbows!"

"Whizzing!"

Another sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a huge crossbow arrow flew towards the Yinye Town militia like a meteor.

"Pfft!"

"what!!"

The militiamen of Yinye Town had no power to fight back against the crossbow arrows and could only let them take their lives.

After seeing his companion being shot in the head by a crossbow arrow, a militiaman could no longer suppress his fear. He dropped his weapon and ran away crying.

When other militiamen saw some people running away, they also followed suit and fled to the rear.

"Don't run back, charge forward!"

"The supervision team is behind us. They will show no mercy. If you run back, you will die!"

The militia captain loudly warned his men, trying to persuade the militiamen to go back.

However, the frightened militiamen did not listen to him at all and just tried to escape to the rear.

A Silver Leaf Knight looked at the fleeing militia with a look of contempt on his face.

He snorted coldly and said to the knights in front of him:

"Humph, a bunch of cowards, Charles, you know what to do."

"My subordinate understands!"

Charles drew his knight's sword and looked at the deserter in front of him with a fierce look in his eyes.

When the first fleeing militiaman just ran in front of the cavalry, before he had time to catch his breath, he was greeted by Charles' sword.

As the sword blade swept across, Charles easily cut off the deserter's head, and the gushing blood splashed all over his face.

Charles did not wipe the blood from his face, but raised his knight's sword and pointed it at the fleeing militia:

"According to the military regulations of Silver Leaf Town, those who flee from the battlefield will be executed, and their families will be reduced to slaves. Do you really want to escape?"

The fleeing militiamen listened to Charles' indifferent words, looked at the corpses on the ground, and the other followers who drew their swords, and couldn't help swallowing.

They are no match for the knights' entourage, not to mention that there are knights controlling magical beasts behind the entourage.

Since escaping means death and not escaping also means death, they might as well choose the latter.

At least if they died on the battlefield, their families wouldn't be implicated, and the number of crossbow arrows was limited, so maybe they could survive by chance.

So the fleeing militia gritted their teeth and turned back to rush towards Feiyu Town, leaving behind only a headless corpse.

Charles took back his knight's sword, returned to the ranks, and reported to the Silver Leaf Knight:
"Your Excellency, the deserter has been executed."

"Well done. The only value of these trash is to be cannon fodder. If they are not willing to be cannon fodder, then there is no need for them to live any longer."

Charles lowered his head slightly as he listened to the Silver Leaf Knight's ridicule of the militia.

The militia were cannon fodder in the eyes of the Silver Leaf Knights, and so were the knights' followers who had failed to tame the monsters.

When the militia is no longer able to fight, it will be their turn to die.

That’s right, in Charles’s opinion, his lord was sending the militia to their deaths.

Generally speaking, the militia's role in war is to share the enemy's firepower, and they will often attack the enemy together with the Knights.

But Baron Soto ordered the militia to attack a town alone, which was obviously sending them to their deaths.

Charles really couldn't understand why the lord did this.

Not only Charles was confused by this, but Baron Williams on the city wall was also confused.

He didn't understand the significance of Baron Soto sending militia to attack the city. After all, Baron Soto was a battle-hardened lord and shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Before Baron Williams could think about it, he heard a familiar voice beside him:

"Brother, can you let me fire one crossbow arrow? Just one!"

Williams looked in the direction of the voice and saw the beast master who rescued his grandson begging the militiaman operating the crossbow to fire a crossbow arrow.

"No, there are not many crossbow arrows, and every one of them cannot be wasted." The militia decisively rejected Hao Ren.

"I won't waste it. I have a very good shooting skill. I learned it from the best male shooter in the Japanese server." Hao Ren kept bragging about himself. The militiaman shook his head: "I don't understand what you are saying. Please move aside and don't delay us from shooting the enemy."

Hao Ren still didn't want to give up: "Just..."

"Just let him shoot an arrow." Williams said.

"As ordered!"

When the militia heard their lord's words, they immediately gave up their positions.

Hao Ren was so excited when he saw that he could finally fire the crossbow, and he quickly thanked Williams:
"Thank you, Lord Baron!"

"No, I should be the one thanking you for helping Feiyu Town. Are you sure you want to participate in this war? You might die."

Williams stared at Hao Ren and said.

"Of course I have to participate, otherwise how can I get revenge? Feiyu Town chased me all the way yesterday, and I must kill them back today!"

Hao Ren answered firmly that he had gone online early this morning and originally thought that Feiyu Town would not be attacked today, and he was going to lose the advantage of being online in Feiyu Town.

As a result, in the afternoon, he heard the sound of a horn like heavenly music, and then he happily came to the city wall.

Hao Ren originally wanted to gain some merit before other players arrived.

Who would have thought that the enemy only sent out militia troops. These militiamen could not break through the blockade of arrows and could not even touch the city wall. He could only watch and worry.

There was no way, he couldn't shoot arrows, and Huhu's [Falling Rocks] couldn't attack the militiamen in the distance.

Hao Ren was like a eunuch in the harem, watching the achievements passing by in front of him, but he was powerless to do anything!
It was not until he saw the crossbow carts used their power to string the militiamen of Yinye Town together like a candied haws stick that he thought of a way to earn merit.

He can't use a bow and arrow, but he should be able to use a crossbow.

Anyway, other militiamen were helping him pull the bowstring and load the arrows, so all he had to do was shoot.

So Hao Ren pestered the militiaman operating the crossbow cart, wanting to shoot an arrow himself. Even if he didn't hit the enemy, it would still be fun!

Williams didn't know what Hao Ren was really thinking and thought he wanted to avenge his other two partners.

"Very good, you are worthy of being Baron Ryan's beastmaster. Your courage is admirable."

Williams patted Hao Ren on the shoulder, his words full of admiration for Hao Ren.

"Go, use the roar of the ballista to play the death song for the enemy."

"But you can only fire one crossbow arrow. I suspect the enemy wants to use the militia to consume our crossbow arrows and reduce the threat of the crossbow carts to the knights. So after you finish firing, I will order all the crossbow carts to stop shooting." Williams said in a deep voice.

"okay!"

Although he only had one chance to fire the crossbow, Hao Ren was already very satisfied.

He happily walked to the crossbow cart, and after the militiamen loaded the crossbow arrows, he moved the bracket and aimed the crossbow at the enemy.

Then Hao Ren showed the same smile as Anya, and whispered softly:

"Go to hell, baby~"

"boom!"

The crossbow cart roared like thunder, and a huge crossbow arrow flew towards the enemy at lightning speed, then hit a charging militiaman and pierced him through.

Seeing that he had hit the enemy, Hao Ren clapped his hands excitedly and laughed:
"Hey! Okay! I'm in!"

The militiamen looked at Hao Ren who was dancing with joy, not understanding why he was so happy.

Didn't he just shoot a militiaman? If you didn't know, you would think he shot the enemy lord.

Little did they know that in the real world, male players would be happy for a long time if they occasionally hit a piece of garbage, but Hao Ren shot an enemy with a crossbow, and there was also a merit reward, so it would be strange if he was not excited.

"No, Xiao Luo is not here, who will count the merits?"

Hao Ren suddenly realized that Xiao Luo had recorded all previous wars and counted the performance of each player.

Now Xiao Luo has gone out to sea with Lord Ryan, and no one has recorded his achievements!

"The game officials should have other ways. If nothing works, I'll ask the militia around me to prove it to me. They all saw me shooting the enemy!"

Hao Ren muttered quietly, with a conflicted expression on his face.

When the militiamen saw Hao Ren's expression change so quickly, they all subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to stay away from Hao Ren.

Only Baron Williams did not retreat. He shook his head and said with pity in his eyes:
"What a deep friendship! After this beast master avenged his friend, he was so happy that he started talking nonsense."
-
After Baron Williams ordered the crossbows to stop firing, militiamen finally arrived at the city wall under the rain of arrows.

As a result, before they could set up the wooden ladder, huge rocks were thrown down, smashing them into a bloody mess.

Not only that, bird-like monsters also flew down from the city wall and shot arc-shaped air blades at them.

The sharp wind blades easily cut through the skin of the Silver Leaf Town militiamen, killing them one by one.

The militiamen of Yinye Town were completely desperate upon seeing this. They were just militiamen, how could they possibly be a match for these monsters.

Just when they thought they were doomed, a low horn sounded from behind.

This is the signal to retreat!
The militiamen's eyes lit up, and after confirming again and again that they had not heard wrong, they immediately crawled to the back.

It was the Lord who ordered them to retreat, so there was no reason for the supervisory team to kill them.

The militiamen of Yinye Town used all their might and ran desperately to the rear.

The militiaman who ran back first looked at the knights' followers in fear, and when he saw that they had no intention of drawing their swords, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

I finally survived!

When the soldiers of Feiyu Town saw the enemy retreat, they first continued to be on guard to prevent the enemy from making a counterattack, and then turned their attention to their own lord.

Williams leaned against the wall and observed the enemy's movements. After confirming that they were really repelled by his side, he immediately turned to the soldiers and said:

"Congratulations, you have successfully repelled the enemy's attack!"

The soldiers cheered when they heard this, with smiles on their faces.

After the soldiers had vented their emotions, Williams encouraged their morale again:
"Soldiers, thanks to your heroic fighting, we easily resisted the enemy's first attack with almost no casualties on our side."

"From this we can see that the enemy's strength is not as strong as we imagined. As long as we work together, we will be able to defeat them!"

At the end, Williams raised his arms and shouted:
"For Feiyu Town!"

The soldiers also shook their weapons, and the swords and spears made rhythmic sounds on the shields and the ground, bursting out in enthusiastic response:
"For Feiyu Town!!"

One of the knights cleverly shouted:

"For Master Williams!"

Although the other soldiers despised the other party's flattery in their hearts, they still cheered:

"For Master Williams!!"

The cheers from the Feiyu Town wall once again reached Baron Soto's ears.

He sneered and muttered to himself:
"Celebrate to your heart's content, this will be your last carnival!" (End of this chapter)
