“...... Captain he's dead?!"

"This ......"

Newman's death immediately caused some confusion among the Imperial cavalry.

In this era, the role of the commander of the army is very crucial, and once the commander dies, the entire army immediately loses its backbone.

The same is true of this squadron of Imperial cavalry, which is also starting to be a little overwhelmed now.

This is also the main reason why Melti deliberately shocked the enemy, and directly chose to use this rare opportunity to kill Newman in the first place.

After shooting Newman with a crossbow arrow, Melti did not hesitate at all, and immediately pulled three arrows from the quiver at her waist at the same time, pulled the iron string bow, and shot three arrows at once.

"Boom!!"

"Ah——!h

With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, three more Imperial cavalrymen were shot directly, screaming and rolling directly off the back of the war horse.

The death of the three comrades and their screams finally woke the Imperial cavalry from the shock of Newman's death.

"Damn it!"

These Imperial cavalry were also worthy of being elite soldiers, and after a short period of chaos, they immediately forcibly suppressed the wavering in their hearts, and some people roared angrily.

"Everyone, now is not the time to back down! Captain Newman is dead, he is the Viscount of the Empire, even if we flee back now, we will be held accountable by his family and the upper echelons of the Empire!"

Newman is an imperial nobleman, as a soldier under the command of this viscount, these imperial cavalry can usually rely on Newman's identity and power, and get better weapons and equipment and treatment than ordinary imperial soldiers, but on the contrary, their fate is almost tied to Newman.

Now that Newman is dead, in the eyes of the empire, it means that their subordinates did not protect Newman well, even if they escape back, the aristocratic family behind Newman will definitely not let them go easily, and it is very likely to vent their anger on them.

Even, those nobles may be angry with the family members and relatives behind their soldiers.

Therefore, the only solution to this problem is to kill the murderer, or better yet, capture him and bring him back to Newman's family and the upper echelons of the empire.

Or, if they can complete the original task and bring back Prince Henry's captivity, it can be regarded as a great achievement, then it is not impossible to atone for their sins at that time.

But in any case, returning empty-handed was an absolute no-no for these Imperial cavalrymen.

"So, this woman must be killed to avenge Captain Newman!, and the mission must be completed!!"

All the Imperial cavalry, at this moment, their faces became extremely resolute, and even a little hideous.

The fear that had arisen from Melti's successive neat killings of their comrades had been forcibly suppressed, replaced by anger and determination.

Now that Newman was dead, there was no way out for the Imperial cavalry. Either go back with merit or die here, and there will be no third way for them to go.

Even if they have no merit and just die here, at least they can be regarded as martyrdom and sacrifice for Newman together, so that even if the high-level of the empire and Newman's family are dissatisfied, they will no longer deliberately hold the dead accountable.

"Kill!!"

All the Imperial cavalry, roaring angrily, raised their whips again, and controlled their horses to charge towards Merti at full speed.

Melti was not affected by the momentum of these murderous Imperial cavalry in the slightest, and continued to pull the iron bow with great calmness, and once again fired three arrows, this time she changed her target slightly, and once again switched the target to the horses of these cavalrymen.

was able to kill several people in a row before, because these Imperial cavalry were shocked by her actions and Newman's sudden death, and their hearts were shaken, and there were obvious flaws, so directly choosing to shoot the cavalry himself also had a very high success rate.

But now that the cavalry had recovered, Merti opted for a clearly more secure strategy of shooting the horses.

But even after eliminating three enemies once again and reducing the number of remaining enemies to twenty-four, Merti's brows gradually furrowed slightly, and she became a little distressed when she looked at the Imperial cavalry behind her with a fierce and fearless appearance.

These guys seem to have completely risked their lives now...... chose to kill Newman first, but it greatly stimulated the emotional backlash of these guys.

Melty didn't know Newman's specific identity at first, but now that she heard what these Imperial cavalry had just said, she naturally understood that she probably killed a noble figure from an enemy country, causing these soldiers to be forced to have no way out, and then she began to become truly fearless of death.

But Merti will not regret her previous decision. Regardless of the identity of the other party's commander, but keeping him and having his command will pose a greater threat to her with this group of Imperial cavalry.

Now, although these imperial cavalry look a little fierce, in Melti's eyes, without unified command, they are just external powerhouses and middle cadres.

At this time, in the White Rose team, Lotus also roared angrily, scolding the knights in the team who were a little stunned because of a series of changes: "What are you still doing in a daze? Everyone is ready for me!!Don't give these guys a chance to get close to Melti!"

At this point in the battle, no matter how sluggish she is, everyone can see how strong Melti's strength is, and how high the combat power of the entire team is improved by staying in the White Rose team.

Therefore, Lotus must not allow Merti to be harmed by the Imperial cavalry.

The other White Rose Knights reacted as well, immediately raising their bows and crossbows, filling their arrows to the full, pulling the bowstring and starting to aim.

The previous enemy was too far apart, even if the White Rose Knights had the heart to help Merti, but there was only one iron string bow with ultra-long range, and their bow skills were far inferior to Merti, and if they released arrows indiscriminately, they would just waste arrows in vain.

However, now, the Imperial cavalry has approached within three hundred meters, which has initially entered the killing range of the longest-range crossbow arrows, and the White Rose Knight's side can finally start to intervene in this battle.

Brush Brush Brush ——!

With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, arrows shot out from the hands of the White Rose Knights, although at a distance of two or three hundred meters, everyone's hit rate was not very high, and only three or four arrows out of every ten arrows were really aimed at the enemy, but the attacks of these White Rose Knights did cause damage to the Imperial Cavalry.

Occasionally, some people were unlucky, and their horses were shot and fell, and even the riders themselves were seriously injured or even killed.

This is really a great help to Merti. Although even the lethality caused by a dozen White Rose Knights was far from her record alone, this wave of random arrows did cause problems for the ranks of the Imperial Cavalry, making their formation even more chaotic.

Of course, it was impossible for the Imperial cavalry to not only be beaten but not fight back, and in the face of the continuous arrow attacks of the Melti and the White Rose Knights, they also raised their crossbows to counterattack.

On the side of the White Rose Squad, not every knight can use a crossbow, and most of them still use a bow, but on the side of the Imperial Cavalry, everyone is really armed with a crossbow.

It has to be said that in terms of range, crossbow arrows are indeed farther than regular bow arrows. Moreover, with a hand crossbow, as long as the crossbow arrow is installed, you can aim and pull the trigger with one hand to attack, which is also an advantage that conventional bows and arrows do not have, and this advantage is even more prominent on high-speed warhorses.

The Imperial cavalry can all control their horses with one hand and attack with a crossbow with one hand on the other, while many White Rose Knights can only use their hands to use bows and arrows, and their flexibility on the back of their horses is naturally inferior to that of the Imperial cavalry, which further affects the accuracy of the arrows.

What's even more amazing is that Merti even grabbed the crossbow arrow with her bare hand, which shocked the Imperial cavalry even more than she used the bow arm of the iron string bow to fly the crossbow arrow. Before she had performed this feat, no one had even imagined that such a thing would happen.

Both the White Rose Knights and the Imperial Cavalry were extremely experienced veterans, so they knew exactly how fast they needed to be reflexes, sharp, and delicate body control to grab crossbow arrows with their bare hands!

As long as the reaction speed is a few tenths of a second slower, or the action is slightly offset by a centimeter or two when shooting, the so-called empty-handed grasp of the arrow will immediately become a joke and directly trap yourself.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply a scene that only exists in the biographical stories of wild history, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen in reality.

Not only because it was too difficult, but also because almost no one dared to try such a move with their own lives.

But now, this scene has indeed happened in front of their eyes, which makes the state of mind of the imperial cavalry no longer calm.

"Don't stop!Keep attacking!!"

Newman noticed that the hearts of his soldiers were beginning to waver, and he naturally did not let this thing continue, and immediately shouted angrily.

However, before his words could fall, Melti had already taken a step ahead of him and struck again, directly placing the crossbow arrow he had caught earlier on the iron string bow, and pulling the bowstring in one go and shooting it out.

The target of her arrow is to Newman himself!

And this arrow was shot too suddenly, whether it was the White Rose Knight or the Imperial Cavalry, they were still shocked by Melty's amazing performance just now, and the reaction speed was inevitably slowed down, even Newman himself was actually shocked by the scene just now, but as the leader of the cavalry, he had a very strong psychological quality and recovered much faster than other soldiers.

But even if his psychological adjustment recovers quickly, it is obviously impossible to be as fast as Melti, who was prepared too early.

This arrow was something she had calculated a long time ago. In fact, when facing the crossbow arrow just now, Merti could have grabbed it with her bare hands without risking, and the reason why she did it was to create a shocking scene that would shock the minds of the Imperial cavalry.

Even if it was only for a short time, it would be enough for her to achieve her goal.

Newman, the enemy commander, Merti naturally noticed it a long time ago, but Newman has been cautiously hiding in the rear of the cavalry team since the cavalry team began to charge, and intentionally or unintentionally used the bodies of other cavalrymen to provide cover for himself, and used the bodies of his subordinates to block Melti's sight of him, so that Melti's bow and arrow could not be aimed at him smoothly.

Because Newman himself knew very well that for a marksman with superb archery skills like Melti, once his identity was revealed, he would definitely be listed as the highest priority to kill.

That's why she is so careful to take precautions, so that it is difficult for Melti to find a chance to shoot for a while.

But now, here's your chance!

Because of the previous shock, Newman was unable to control the movement of the war horse in time, resulting in his war horse still running according to the previous inertia, while Melti caused her position to change due to the previous dodge of the crossbow arrows, and also bypassed the sight barrier formed by the Imperial cavalry.

As a result, Newman completely exposed himself to Melty's eyes this time.

And she deliberately grabbed the crossbow arrows fired by the enemy and used them directly, which directly saved the time of drawing the arrows from the quiver again, even if it was only shortened by about 0.5 seconds, the time gained was extremely critical.

Therefore, when Newman had just come back to his senses and scolded the Imperial cavalry, he did not expect a vague shadow of arrows to have swooped in front of him.

By the time he noticed this, there was already a sharp pain in his throat, and he realized that his throat had been pierced by an oncoming crossbow arrow.

"Ho-ho-......?!"

'I—...... I'm going to die here?!"
