Chapter 281:
According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time, this magical thing, can pass very quickly at times, especially when focusing on one task, time always seems to fly by.
From this perspective, even if it’s only 10 seconds, that’s still impressive!
For example, when soldiers in trenches are surrounded by enemies ten times their number, they may feel like days are passing like years. But when they receive powerful reinforcements and victory is within reach, the soldiers become excited and throw themselves into driving out the enemy and pursuing victory.
Tonight’s events at Crimson Citadel perfectly illustrate this point.
Those militiamen who were hastily assembled to defend the city performed especially bravely in the latter half of the battle.
Even though Regent Miriam repeatedly emphasized that they should not engage in long-distance pursuit to avoid accidents, by the time dawn broke, the militiamen who had pursued the farthest had, under the leadership of Mr. Porter, chased the fleeing gnolls to a place not far from Morland Village.
This was nothing short of a small miracle.
This distance would take 4-5 hours even on horseback, but the excited militiamen seemed to feel no fatigue at all.
The young men, carrying muskets and battle spears, were roaring and shouting with flushed faces, like a group of wild mountain men on a hunt, thrusting their spears at any gnoll that dared to resist.
