章節 179: 177 A Night of Wild Dancing

Qiumuluo had previously joined the troops in their assault because Gis promised him many slaves should Shireck be victorious.

However, when Qiumuluo, the corpulent human trafficker with his fat ears, saw the flames from the grenade explosions in the dim corner, illuminated by the flare's light, he was thoroughly frightened.

He quietly retreated, taking a few of his trusted associates with him and slipped away from the battlefield under cover of darkness, ready to rush off after grabbing the luggage he had prepared.

As he was fleeing, a stray bullet hit his arm. It was purely luck that got him hit.

Even so, due to the darkness, it was unclear whether the bullet had been fired by Tang Mo's troops or Gis's.

Indeed, the mentally shattered troops of Shireck couldn't hold on any longer. They fired wildly, even turning their guns on the commanders who were preventing their retreat.
