章 718: Chapter 717: Awakening

"What?"

Complete silence fell over the room, as if time itself had come to a halt. Even the crossbow bolts shooting through the air seemed to hold their trajectory.

"Alive?"

Eagle King's pupils shrunk, he swallowed hard and beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

The archers behind him, as well as hundreds of guards who had rushed forward, all froze in terrified anticipation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Over a thousand crossbow bolts fell, deflected by the Black Tiger Guards' armour. Many of them were injured and fell on the spot.

After the rain of arrows, The Black Tiger Guards who had been hit fell to the ground, trembling. The armour-piercing arrows had penetrated their bodies and were coated with poison, leaving them unfit to fight.

Fury filled Mrs. Cole's eyes: "Eagle King, did you really poison your armour-piercing arrows?"

"Are you trying to leave no survivors among the Black Tiger Guards?"
