Season 3: Chapter 297. A Familiar Face (1)
While Coffee and Bread held off Guan Yu, the cavalry archers broke through the Chinese horsemen. The glint of halberds and arrows could be seen as both sides crossed paths.
Thud! Thud!
At the head of the charge was Almond, relentlessly aiming for Guan Yu’s throat. He raised his bow as he closed in. He drew the bow taut and fully stabilized his body with his feet firmly planted in the stirrups. He looked as balanced as if he was on solid ground despite being on horseback.
Without blinking, he pulled back his arrow and shut out all distractions except for the galloping horse beneath him.
Thud... Thud...
When the hoofbeats echoed like a distant rumble, he released the arrow.
Click.
The arrow seemed to freeze in mid-air and everything else stood still while the camera rotated around the arrow’s path. Then, the perspective shifted from third-person to first-person as the arrow closed in on Guan Yu’s eye.
Click.
The camera zoomed in, getting rid of unnecessary angles and rejoining the video with subtitles before resuming.
Thud. Thud.
The faces of the charging cavalry archers flashed one by one in close-ups. Almond’s face was especially highlighted. Then, as the arrows flew, Guan Yu appeared closer and closer from the arrow’s perspective.
