144 Chapter 144

Mustering her courage, Maxi managed to open her eyes. Clouds of dust made it difficult to see what was happening on the other side of the barrier. Clashing steel, whinnying horses, and shrieks that sounded like boars being slaughtered rang out all around them.

Trembling, Maxi huddled with the others. A group of warhorses galloped through the thick dust like a storm. The knights atop them wore armor that glinted in the sun.

So many things happened at once that Maxi's eyes darted in every direction. It was difficult to tell which side was winning.

It was like being in a living nightmare. All around, knights threw hooked chains that bound the gigantic trolls. The monsters resisted against the steel chains, bellowing thunderous roars. They thrashed their massive limbs as if to smash the earth beneath them, and the ground shook violently.

Forgetting to breathe, Maxi watched the fierce battle unfold before her. It was truly an overwhelming sight.
