The stone arch window was smashed into a jagged crack by an iron bar, and billowing black smoke rose into the sky from the window.
The knights and soldiers, clad in chainmail and half-armour, picked up their white kite shields, but couldn't believe the scene before them.
The gendarmeries of Black Snake Bay roughly yanked the hair of the rioters, pinning them to kneel by the roadside.
The North light cavalry rode short, swift horses, swinging lassos to rope the rioters and drag them down, scraping them along the ground.
The tax officers wore head-sized leather shields on their right hands, wielding magic staffs fitted with spiked balls, spike rods, and short axes in their left, charging at the rioters and masked armoured warriors.
Occasionally, flames, poison fog, and rays flew from the crowd, followed by a clear scream.
When it comes to battlefield duels, this group of Black Snake Bay gendarmeries and tax officers are no match for the Thousand River Valley soldiers and knights.
