Kapitel 216: Face Off

Lawless saw the pursuing castle troops right after Kieran.

"F*cking hell! I really sh*t myself every time!" he cursed as he slapped his own face.

The trio quickly leapt onto their horses and continued on their journey.

If the castle troops on their tail had been fewer, Kieran might have decided to face them head-on.

However, a hundred riders were a huge threat. If they'd fired arrows at him, he would have had to cut and run, and so would have the others.

Besides, Kieran had noticed that the riders were holding crossbows, not normal longbows.

Compared to longbows, which required two hands to use, crossbows were more convenient, powerful and precise, even more so for riders.

Kieran's sharp eyesight had also noticed something else. The castle riders had a different kind of armor on than the troops Kieran had seen in the castle.
