Kapitel 816: Menes's Plight (Part-2)

Just as Menes was about to charge to his doom by smashing into the Kaiser family mercenaries, he detected a sudden ripple of chaos and fear spread across the tight formation of the unit right in the middle.

And then large shouts of panicked confusion followed.

The reason for this was glaringly obvious, as Menes could clearly see a group of riders, numbering around thirty, attacking the completely defenseless backs of the phalangites, dealing devastating casualties. 

They were all cloaked, foiling any attempts at identification but the way they attacked and fought spoke volumes, for it made it clear to Menes that all these men were all trained warriors of the highest calibers, with many of them even able to match his own prowess.

This level of skill combined with the low numbers made it clear to the black warrior that these were no regular soldiers but an elite unit, most likely bodyguards or perhaps frighteningly, assassins!
