The commanders of Suthers, of course, did not know that Tang Mo's artillerymen, fearing that their volleys would not be precise if fired all at once, had split the volleys into two sequences.
And when the first volley of three cannonballs came crashing down, they hit the earthen rampart directly, followed by the second round of three cannons' barrage, which arrived after a short interval, to ensure the effectiveness of the attack.
Again, three cannonballs landed on the earthen rampart, blowing Tucci and his horse's remains to pieces, thereby also flinging the embracing officer's body sky-high.
The last words Tucci hoped to deliver to the King naturally vanished with the horrific explosion, and simultaneously, the dream of Suthers Kingdom engulfing Leite Kingdom dissipated into thin air.
Tang Mo let out a sigh of relief, set down the telescope in his hand, and looked towards Wes standing beside him.
