Bab 86: Chapter 66: Fleeing South_2

Over a hundred Imperial Guard Warriors formed a tight double-shield formation, yet long arrows kept piercing through the shields and finding gaps. The warriors in the front row kept falling to arrows, and then the warriors in the back row would prop up the bodies of the fallen, continuing to block the arrows, contributing their final loyalty.

Upon hearing the twang of Greatbows, Totec looked back again and saw the Royal Banner in a shower of arrows. Even with his rock-solid will, he now felt despair: wavering all the way, the army's morale had long since dissipated; at this point, there was no turning back.

For the fourth time, Totec let out a deep roar, calling for the two hundred ever-loyal, blood-soaked Imperial Guards locked in combat. Then, he gave up on the Eagle Nobility warriors who were within arm's reach but beyond his command and turned to charge toward the direction of the Longbow Guards.
