By a twist of fate, just south of the Ancient Market and less than three miles from this bustling town, a dense forest was also being pierced by iron arrows flying thick as rain.
These were arrows spat out from two ten thousand stone ironwood warships on the river.
Hundreds of military war crossbows fired continuously, filling the inside of the forest with cries of agony.
Moreover, fiery rockets were launched, igniting the dry trees within the forest.
At first, the people in the forest were able to endure without moving. But once the fire started and smoke filled the area, a group of people wearing armored soldiers' gear burst out from the dense woods.
What met them, however, was an even denser barrage of wolf-toothed heavy arrows. Numerous soldiers in Daning standard war armor fell to the ground, blood flowing profusely.
