"Damn!!"
After the shock, the Imperial cavalry gritted their teeth in hatred and clenched the crossbow in their hands again.
"Don't stop, keep attacking, there's no way she's going to completely block all the crossbow arrows!"
"Don't get too close, start scattering!"
After the Imperial cavalry calmed down, they began to disperse the formation further.
They were all the most elite soldiers, and after fighting Melty for a while, they basically had some countermeasures, even without Newman's command, they were able to respond on the spot.
After sacrificing dozens of comrades, the remaining Imperial cavalry had already seen that Merti's archery was terrifying, and he could even shoot up to three arrows at once and kill three targets at the same time.
But

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.
The Imperial cavalry were suddenly attacked by the White Rose Knights, and their attention naturally diverted from Merti.
Although they want to prioritize Melti, they can't just ignore the attacks of the other White Rose Knights.
So soon some of the Imperial cavalry aimed their crossbow arrows at the other White Rose Knights and began to return fire.
Compared to the bows in the hands of the White Rose Knights, the Imperial Cavalry all used hand crossbows, which had a certain weapon advantage, and the crossbow arrows fired were faster, longer-range, and more accurate.
With a higher hit rate, at this moment, three crossbow arrows hit the White Rose Knight's chest, neck, abdomen, and other places that were not protected by the armor.
And the three White Rose Knights who were targeted, although they had a premonition of danger with the intuition they had cultivated over the years, it was impossible for them to dodge in this brief moment.
But at this moment, I saw three afterimages flash in mid-air, and then I heard three consecutive crisp sounds of 'Ding Ding Ding'.
The three White Rose Knights only felt a shock to their bodies, and the armor they were wearing was subjected to a powerful shock and shock at this moment, as if a hard sharp weapon had bombarded the armor.
They looked down at their senses, and they just saw a crossbow arrow that had been deformed or even completely broken by the impact, and fell weakly to the ground.
The three knights examined the armor on their bodies, and sure enough, in the breastplate, helmet, and visor, they found a small dent that seemed to have been struck by a crossbow arrow.
"What just now?"
The three of them were a little dazed, although it was obvious that they were defended by the White Rose Knight Armor after three more crossbow arrows hit them just now, but the previous fatal sense of crisis reminded them of the danger of these three crossbow arrows, if they only hit the top of the armor, it should not make them feel such a strong sense of crisis.
Moreover, the three consecutive 'Woo Woo Woo' noises that came out of mid-air just now were also a little wrong, as if the location of the sound was in front of them, and at that time they vaguely saw three afterimages suddenly passing in front of them.
At that moment, I heard two more 'bang' noises coming from the air in front of me, and it felt like the sound of a hard object slamming into metal.
The White Rose Knights looked at it carefully, and then they couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that Merti had put away the iron bow at some point, and was holding a crossbow in one hand to steadily kill the horses and even riders of the Imperial Cavalry one by one, and with the other hand, from time to time he grabbed a few small gravels from a small cloth bag hanging from his waist and sandwiched them between his fingers, and from time to time he would wave his small hand and shake these small gravels forward.
Every time the hand she used to hold the small gravel made a wavering motion, there would be a few crunch sounds in the air in front of her, and even a few scorching red sparks appeared in the air - it turned out to be the sound of a small gravel thrown by Melti colliding with the metal arrows of the crossbow arrows fired by the Imperial cavalry!
With each collision, the bolts were snapped and dropped, or their original flight trajectory was deflected.
Under the continuous accumulation of crossbow arrows from the Imperial cavalry, no one in the entire White Rose squad has been really injured so far, at most they have only been hit by the crossbow arrows on the well-textured armor and received a little shock and shock.
The armor on the White Rose Knights is extremely defensive, but it is not the style of a full-coverage heavy cavalry. Such heavy armor is also obviously not conducive to their long-distance escape from so far.
Their White Rose Knight Armor is a lightweight style that focuses only on the head, chest, and shoulders, and only in these important parts will they have a thick and high-strength defense against the shots of a sophisticated crossbow arrow. As for the rest of their bodies, they just wore a layer of armor or chain mail, in order to reduce the weight on their bodies as much as possible.
Originally, the White Rose Knights thought that they were lucky, and so many crossbow arrows happened to not be aimed at the positions on their bodies that were not protected by the knight's armor, but it turned out that this was not luck at all!
It was the impact caused by the gravel thrown by Merti again and again that made the crossbow arrows fired by the Imperial cavalry return again and again!
After seeing this, the White Rose Knights were simply stupid. Immediately after, the Imperial cavalry also discovered this amazing scene, and they were also stupid, their eyes widened, and they simply couldn't believe what they were seeing.
By throwing small gravel, the crossbow arrows flying at high speed in mid-air that almost exceed the limit of the dynamic vision capture limit of the human eye are shot down or missed.
What are you kidding!!Is this really something a normal person can do?!
However, for some reason, the White Rose Knights and the Imperial Cavalry, after reacting and realizing that the person who performed such an incredible feat was Merti, suddenly became not so difficult to accept.
Perhaps, it's already getting used to it?
