Battle against the Fox Lady (Part 2)

Marching towards the knight headquarters, the vector's party was greeted by a thunder of firing cannon. Its projectile pierced the air all the way to the fox lady. An explosion followed, rendering smoke over the street. However, as it faded, a magical hexagon barrier shielded the party. The vector's handguard glowed. Tarte already anticipated for an ambush strike.

The adventurers that were with her nearly fainted when she blocked the cannonball, causing a medium explosion. If Tarte was not present, they'd be blasted to bloody pieces.

"Oh, shit… w-we're…"

"We're under attack!"

"Everyone, on your guard!"

As the fox lady disintegrated her magical shield, tens of knights rushed to surround her troops of adventurers. They easily outnumbered her party by a huge margin. Crossbowmen from rooftop had their fingers by the trigger, all aimed to her head. It would take one single order to rain arrows to the small party she brought.
