The carriage driver ordered the horses to stop immediately, the packhorse sliding sideways, braking the carriage at great speed.
The ear-piercing sound of braking and the wooden carriage wheels carved two long marks in the swamp near Sharp-Top Palace, splashing mud all around.
Laine instinctively felt something was amiss, his gaze sharpened, his strong arms suddenly grabbed Juan and pulled him behind himself.
"Huh?" Juan was puzzled, and instinctively looked toward the carriage.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing five rows of black muskets, all pointing at Laine who was about to come out to inspect the goods.
Before Juan could react, the five rows of muskets on the carriage almost simultaneously fired at Laine, the whistling barrage instantly engulfed Laine's silhouette!
"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
