Chapter 114

The short blazing light bloomed from the muzzle of the gun, accompanied by the smell of the fire medicine, one by one spherical lead bullets quickly across the air, smashing one shield, splashing iron and sawdust, and howling in pain in the street.

In the face of this new weapon, the hard armor of the past seemed useless. It was penetrated by projectiles like paper paste, and the flesh and bones were blurred. A large number of casualties began to appear.

When Lorraine hill stood on the tower and saw the round rods sticking out from behind the shield, she tightened her heart. Then the fire broke out and the smoke filled her heart. Rows of her own people fell down and made her clench her fist.

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

"My Lord, times have changed."

No, it hasn't changed. She said to herself in her heart, and then she walked down the stairs, her red dress swaying rapidly with her steps, thinking about the solution in her mind.

In the early years, the loading speed of the flint gun was not fast, and there was no rifling, and the accuracy was not high. When it was more than 200 meters, it could not hit people. Moreover, the technology of gunpowder had not been developed to a great degree, and the shooting power had not reached the level of penetrating steel plate in later generations.

Lolan Hill's self comforting thinking was also very shocked. He didn't expect that the world's technology was developing so fast, that guns had begun to be loaded, and that they had a good fighting capacity. In other words, was this the inevitability of history?

After walking out of the tower, she immediately issued an order to let the people outside the chamber of commerce immediately return to the inside, close the door and guard the building.

In the early days of its establishment, calites chamber of Commerce considered certain defense needs. On the outside, there was a low wall, about 6-7 meters high. On the inside, there were watchtowers, which could be used to observe the enemy's situation and shoot.

After receiving the emergency evacuation order, the armed personnel of the chamber of Commerce quickly retracted and retreated. Fortunately, the flint gun was still loaded in the front, and the loading speed was slow. After the first two rounds, the people behind began to retreat, and the number of injured people was much less. After all, its accuracy was too poor.

Tissifoney's team didn't catch up, because the charge was not finished. In addition, after running, the team described that it was easy to disperse, consumed a lot of physical strength, and couldn't kill a few more, so it still kept the original speed.

Calitez's team-mates who were shot before were quickly dragged back by the people behind. Then the whole team began to shrink, the gate pulled down, and some of the bowmen hid in the shooting holes on the wall to fight back.

The shield hands of tissifoney's family easily blocked the bows and crossbows. As the procession continued to advance, they gradually approached the wall of the chamber of Commerce. They could even see the long ladder behind the procession. 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 deal with the wounds of the injured people, and the sound of wailing and crying surrounded the hall. In the courtyard, there are more than 2000 soldiers in iron armor, plus some people stationed on the wall of the chamber of Commerce. This is the main fighting force of caritus.

These people have received certain military training and are more capable and willed, but most of them are ordinary people without any experience or preparation. It's OK to assist them. They are afraid that they will flee on the spot in such a difficult time.

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

On the other side of Hopland, there was a fierce battle between the Hollis and the Anemies.

Thanks to melu's reform measures some time ago, in order to eliminate the disadvantages and strengthen the master's control, the Helis family's armed forces expanded a lot. They also purchased a batch of new weapons from ruerna. Although they didn't have the muskets of tisifugne family, they were much better than before.

In addition to being a little confused at the beginning and making anemie unprepared, the Hollis family soon fought back. As the first chamber of Commerce in Hopland, although it was a little bloated, it still accumulated a lot of strength and treasures.

A tree art master in withered leaf clothes came out from behind the team. The dusty wooden boxes were opened and filled with dried and yellowing camellia flowers.

An ancient ballad is sung by these tree artists, with a little boundless and different styles.

With these tunes, these dried up yellow camellia flowers float out of thin air, layer upon layer, flying into the sky like a waterfall of flowers, and then begin to fall scattered.

The scattered Camellia began to ignite without fire, and fell on the enemy silently. Seeing this, the anemie family immediately found a bucket to put out the burning companion. Unfortunately, even if they were soaked, the camellia still burned, and its flame was like gangrene, penetrating through the leather and armor, making the enemy roll on the ground in pain.

Whoosh——

Whoosh——

A slight voice across the night sky, nailed on the tree artists who were wearing dead leaves clothing, the tree artists who were hit by the arrow fell down on the spot, their faces turned blue, and their whole body trembled, then their eyes opened wide, and they died of poisoning.

The Hollis family was shocked and angry. They immediately organized their dense shield to protect the rest of the tree artists. However, they lost the visual field of observation, and the speed of Camellia falling in the sky began to slow down significantly.

In the face of the sky falling fire of the Hollis family, the Anemies family also began to use their own cards. With a fresh and pleasant smell coming with the wind, many of the armed members of the Hollis family began to be paralyzed and unconscious, and then they were knocked over by the enemy and broke through the formation.

But Camellia in the air began to fall again. The scattered Camellia fire ignited the enemies, streets and sundries below, and the streets were blocked again.

The fire burned the air and sent out a strange fragrance, which filled the street. The two sides stopped for a while and confronted each other across the fire.

Noyce, the owner of the Anemies, was riding on his horse in neat and exquisite gold armor. He was at the back of the line, looking at the burning flame in front of him and sighing.

"It's worthy of being a famous family of Hollis who has been rooted in Hopland for nearly a thousand years. They all have this kind of cards. They keep secrets so well that they haven't even heard of it before."

"It's a pity."

Fengnai is standing under the horse. In front of her is a group of protective guards. She is a little curious and asks, "what a pity for my father?"

Noyce leaned down and touched fengnai's hair.

"It's a pity that times have changed. There won't be the Hollis in the future."

Some dark shadows began to appear in the corner of the Hollis' house. These dark shadows opened the side door to sneak in through the internal work, and began to rush to the main building of the chamber of Commerce, because there were the core members of the Hollis' house.

"There are thorns..." before several patrol members could make a sound, they were killed by the attacking shadow with a sword, their mouths covered and unwilling to fall down.

These assassins attacked and killed all the way, and rushed into the main building of the chamber of Commerce. At this time, they were stopped by the guards who held their hands. The emergency bell rang, and some armed people around began to come quickly, but there was not enough time.

Cyan smoke filled the main hall, blocking the rescue workers. The assassins rushed up the stairs, opened the door and searched one by one.

Because Mello was in charge of family affairs during this period, the original owner HOS and bell had moved to the other side to avoid suspicion, while Mello was the only member of the immediate family of the Hollis who was still in the main building.

Some of the maids saw the assassin with the sword and cried out in panic. Then they fell down with blood on their faces.

In a small room where cleaning tools and sundries are usually stored, the head maid forces Meilu into a low cupboard to hide in.

"Let me out, aunt lig. They're coming for me."

Meru looked at the old maid, who now had some wrinkles on her forehead and messy hair.

"Shut up and say something stupid. Live a good life."

With that, she closed the cupboard door, and then moved other sundries to block the small cupboard in the corner.

Meilu hid in the cupboard, in the dark. She could only see a ray of light from the crack of the cupboard door. Besides her own heartbeat, she could only hear the nervous breathing of the maid outside.

Then a rush of steps from far to near, the sound of breaking the door, the sound of shouting, the sound of sword stabbing, the sound of falling, the sound of rummaging, got closer and closer. Finally, the door of the utility room was kicked open.

The maid seemed to resist, and then there was a dull crashing sound. A body leaned against the door of the cupboard and slowly slid down, blocking the last part of the small cupboard.

Meru held her breath and her tears came down in silence.
