Chapter 216

Very soon he saw that various ballista units of theirs were blown to shreds as he witnessed the truly horrific power of Cannons .

One of the soldiers remarked as he saw that a colleague was blown to shreds, "God, what is this? Is this the end of the world?"

One Scout spotted the direction and spoke in a frustrated manner, "No, it is coming from the southern Castle . Watch carefully, those are round projectiles . Damn it, what are these weapons . "

The Commander who was bragging previously was the first casualty of the opening salvo of Cannons . Two whole teams were destroyed in shreds as people started hearing explosions .

Irwin was the one who was truly shocked after watching the firepower and range of the cannons .

"What the hell are those things, killing even our best soldiers . "

Irwin was still in shock as he saw a pair of eyes towards his direction as he saw a cannonball coming his way . The owner of those eyes was John as he smiled . John had a mischevious smile as he looked at the monkey show done by the army .

Irwin roared as he immediately used his short sword when he saw a cannonball coming his way .

As soon as the cannonball came near him, He activated his short magic sword and threw earth projectiles using the sword on the way of cannonballs . The cannons were still unperturbed by projectiles as they moved towards Irwin’s direction as he used water magic and blasted a Water Cannon towards the cannonballs which finally blasted the cannonballs in a distance .

Irwin looked at the cannons in horror as he finally escaped the ordeal and grunted, "Good, I had this sword or it would have been tough to come out unscathed . "

He looked at the Lorr Swords with relief which had increased his abilities as a Magic knight (200% increase in Magic Power) .

He looked at John and the cannons with anger and dark light, "This is dangerous . Quite a cunning guy to immediately target me . If not for these swords, I would have died probably . "

John looked at Irwin with surprise and remarked, "It seems those are the famed Lorr swords, no wonder the Royal family targeted them immediately . "

John with a cunning light immediately ordered, "Arlen, Order the men to use the Runic Cannons on their Commander . Start your assault on the wings towards the invading templars . Now is the time to shock them . You can use the runic Cannons on the Templar Commander as well . I want to teach them a lesson which they would never forget . "

Arlen nodded as he smiled and spoke to the cannoneer,

The cannoneer was surprised but immediately nodded as he ordered his men to take out the runic Cannonball which was full of runes and was immediately loaded into the cannon .

"Sir, it’s ready . "

Arlen nodded and spoke, "Target that commander, The one with that short sword . Orders are straight from General Anak . Kill him and that army would collapse"

He nodded and roared, "Fire . "

Almost immediately a cannonball was fired which had runes glowing on it . Irwin again saw the cannonball coming his way as he cursed, "Again that nuisance, Goddamnit . "

He again used his short sword as he used Earth magic and shooted bigger projectiles this time around . As soon as the cannonball was in contact with the stone projectile, it accelerated as the fire-wind magic activated and started moving towards Irwin .

With a serious face, he looked at the cannonball as he used Water Cannon along with bigger stone Projectiles almost immediately . In this attack, he used most of his magic power as he started breathing heavily . This time, Cannonball immediately exploded with 10 times power as the shrapnel immediately scattered in various directions and killed the men . While Irwin was resisting with his short sword he activated a rune which amplified the power of the short sword . This time the Water Cannon and Stone Projectiles resisted the shrapnels as shockwaves passed through the whole surroundings . A lot of people in the surrounding died after facing the onslaught of shrapnels .

After this Clash, Irwin’s sword almost had a crack as he looked at John with an angered face . He cursed as he glared at John, "Fucking Cunning bastard . He sure is hellbent on killing the commanders first . I guess this was one of the reasons why he won his previous battle as said by Joss . "

Currently, blood was coming out of the mouth as he ordered his surviving men immediately, "We are leaving . We were played bigtime by that Count . Now, this war is out of hand . Tell that Johnson to leave immediately if he wants to survive . "

The subordinate started using Light magic on Irwin to heal him as he pointed towards the direction where Johnson was heading, "It’s late Milord . They are already charging and same is the case for us . "

Irwin looked at the crazed templars with anger as he ordered his subordinate, "Goddamnit . Fuck it, let him and those crazies die if they want . Just give him a horn signal . If he doesn’t listen then that’s his fault . Tell the army we are changing directions and leaving immediately from the wings . "

Before the subordinate could even give the signal, suddenly big noises came from the castle as they started firing towards the templars .

He still gave the signal to his men as they started changing their directions .

30 cannonballs were fired in one round as it surrounded the whole right-wing which was being headed by Johnson and his templars .

Looking at the explosions, the whole army belonging to Irwin was surprised as well as it was full of horror and despair .

One of the commanders cursed as he watched his men die one after another, "Damn it why are we facing this? Why was there no news about these weapons from the Spy department? Frigin leave your ballistas if you want to survive . They are deliberately targeting the Ballistas first . This battle is a complete disaster . "

One of the other captains too noticed the peculiarity as he remarked, "Yes, Almost 60 percent of our ballistas are already in ashes . Fuck, how long is the range of those cannons? We need to escape immediately . "

Irwin’s subordinate spoke, "Those normal cannons are just the appetizers, Those runic cannons are the biggest threats to our commanders currently . This count was quite cunning, No wonder he was provoking us for war when he had such a weapon at his disposal . All of us were taken as fools . "

The Templars were charging with John as they ignored the various sounds at the nearby battlefield, "Kill the sinners . Kill the sinners . "

Johnson was smiling ear to ear as he thought, "I hope that Liam completes his work of infiltrating that city and opening the gates of chaos . "

However, soon he saw the first Salvo of Cannonballs coming their way and watched it stupendously .

Soon after the explosion, realization struck him as he witnessed carnage beyond his imaginations .

Johnson had his mouth open as he exclaimed after watching the cannonball flying towards his army, "What the hell is this?"

Much to his surprise soon a runic Ballista came his way as he tried to resist the cannonball coming his way, he immediately activated a rune as he used his sword to resist the cannonball, he used light magic to pierce the cannonball . Soon the cannonball was shattered and the shrapnel exploded in different directions as he too faced the same assault . This time he couldn’t withstand the shrapnels as multiple shrapnels pierced his body as he looked at John with horror and surprise .

"How can I have such a pathetic death without even fighting a bit . No, I won’t let this happen . "

He looked at the direction of Irwin who was trying to escape while Blood was seeping from the sides of his mouth .

"That Bastard . "
