"Attack!" Seeing that it was about time, Balian took a few steps back and retreated into the formation. The shield-bearers at the side merged into their original formation and began to advance slowly.
"Prepare the bows and arrows …" Gilbert calmed himself down and began to command. The Bandits at the side obviously knew what the situation was. The opponent was definitely going to kill them all, so they could only retaliate. Hence, they picked up the bows in their hands and prepared to shoot.
"Fire!" Seeing that the opponent was slowly advancing into their firing range, Gilbert waved his hand and shouted.
In the next second, all the arrows in the Bandits' hands flew out. It could be seen that Gilbert had trained these guys well. At least there weren't any situations where the arrows didn't hit their targets. However, only a bunch of "ding ding ding" sounds of metal colliding and the sound of the arrows stabbing into the wooden floor could be heard. All the attacks were blocked by the armor and wooden shields. There wasn't even a scream of pain.
"Lads, show them what it means to shoot in unison!" Balian laughed. They actually dared to compete with him in archery. He usually paid attention to archery training.
With a whoosh, all the archers at the back of Balian's side raised their bows and arrows at the same time. Their movements were neat and uniform, just like a machine.
"Fire!" Balian waved his hand and said.
Nearly a hundred arrows flew out. Just by looking at the momentum, it was obvious that the Bandits' side couldn't be compared at all. The arrowheads whistled through the air as they flew towards the top of the camp's wall.
"Get out of the way!" cried Gilbert instantly.
There was no need for Gilbert to shout. Most of the Bandits had already hidden behind the wooden wall. However, after a row of arrows swept through, a few muffled sounds came from the camp. Then, there was the sound of someone falling off the wall.
The camp's wall was really too short. It was originally only 2 meters tall, and there were gaps between the wood. Even if someone hid behind the wall, there was still a chance of getting hit. Moreover, the enemy was a team of godly archers.
In the first round of shooting, Balian's side didn't even have a scratch. On the other hand, the Bandits had 7 people hit, and 2 of them died.
"Don't worry, they can't escape. Let's shoot a few more times." Balian wasn't worried at all. The other party definitely wouldn't be able to escape. In this weather, if the other party ran into the wilderness without bringing any heating supplies, he wouldn't even need to chase after him. He would freeze to death in two days. What if he ran into the city? That's courting death. Running to another bandit camp? Since there was someone leading the way, his mission was to sweep through all the bandit camps, so he had to go sooner or later. Therefore, Balian wasn't worried that the other party would run away.
"Shoot!" Balian's adjutant immediately commanded the archers to shoot. The gap in the second round of shooting was even more obvious. This was because the speed at which the Bandits reloaded their arrows was simply not as fast as Balian's side. Just as they finished drawing their bows, they realized that the other side was about to shoot at them. They quickly lowered their heads to avoid the arrows, and as a result, they were shot to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads.
"We can't go on like this …" Gorim said to Gilbert as he hid behind a wooden plank on the wall.
"The quality of the soldiers is too low. Even though I've already stepped up my training, it's only been a month. Balian's men are all veterans," Gilbert said.
"We won't last more than two hours like this," Gorim said.
"I know." Of course, Gilbert knew, but there was nothing he could do even if he was anxious. "We have to rush out now."
"Rush out like this?" Gorim looked at the hundreds of archers in front of him. "We'll be shot full of holes."
"I'll do it!" Li Huailin couldn't help but jump out and say. Where else could he find an opportunity to shoot hundreds of arrows at his face? He quickly volunteered.
"Huailin, don't be impulsive," Gorim immediately said. "Going out is suicide."
"Then I'll do it. It's awesome." Li Huailin didn't care what the other two said and directly jumped down from the top of the gate.
"Come on, don't be shy. Fire at me!" Li Huailin stood alone in front of the wooden gate and shouted in high spirits.
…
…
The scene suddenly quieted down. Then, there was an awkward silence.
"Eh?" Li Huailin raised his head and looked at the opposite side. Balian's archers, who were having fun shooting, had all stopped attacking. Everyone was staring at him blankly.
"Shouldn't I be shot full of holes? Where's the attack? What's wrong? Is there something on me? " Li Huailin lowered his head and looked around. There was nothing strange, so he looked up and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and attack."
…
…
The scene was still silent, and still no one attacked.
"What are you guys doing? Come at me directly!" Li Huailin started to taunt them again.
"Huh? You are … "Balian, who was in the middle of the opposite side, suddenly said," Are you the warrior that everyone is talking about, the 'beast in human clothing', the Broad-Minded Ruolin? "
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment. Then, the veins on his forehead bulged. "Damn you, you're the warrior with the reputation of a beast in human clothing. Do you believe that I won't hack you to death right now?"
"Please don't be modest, your name is already very famous in our Udessa Province. I heard many soldiers talking about your story," Balian said with a smile.
"Talk about your sister, a bunch of people are talking about my 'beast in human clothing' story, what are they doing?" This time, not only did Li Huailin's taunt fail, but he was also taunted.
"Everyone listen, this warrior is the 'beast in human clothing' that everyone is talking about, the Broad-Minded Ruolin. Everyone, please welcome him," Balian said cheerfully.
"Is this the great warrior? He's really powerful," a soldier said in a low voice.
"He's really worthy of the 'beast in human clothing' title," another soldier said.
"I say, that's enough," Li Huailin held his forehead, "I'm begging you, hurry up and open fire. Is this a crusade against the Bandits or a welcoming party? "
"That's right, now isn't the time to talk about this." Balian nodded, "Alright boys, thank you for the reminder, warrior. We are still in the midst of a battle, so focus on eliminating the Bandits first. That's right, warrior, after this is over, I will have a drink with you and listen to your heroic story. "
"Heroic story my ass, you want me to tell you some dirty jokes about the beast in human clothing?" Li Huailin said, "Please take a good look, I'm also a Bandit, hurry up and shoot me."
"What? You're also a Bandit?" Balian was shocked.
System Notification: Because your identity as a Bandit has been exposed, Balian and his guards' favorability towards you has increased by 30 points. Current favorability: Friendly.
"Wow, as expected of a warrior with the title of 'beast in human clothing'. Well done." Balian praised Li Huailin when he heard that he was from a bandit group.
"Damn!" Seeing the system notification, Li Huailin finally realized what was going on. His reputation in the Udessa Province was currently positive, and all of Balian's people had green names, indicating that they were allies. No wonder he felt that something was wrong. They were allies, so of course they wouldn't attack him.
"Oh no, the Main Tank can't hold the aggro at all," Li Huailin said. This was a very difficult situation. The other side didn't attack him, which was too difficult.
After thinking about it, Li Huailin decided to discuss with the other side calmly, "Sir, think about it carefully. Although we have a friendly relationship, your current mission is to eliminate the Bandit group, right? This is a mission given to you by the King and that Marquis. You can't disobey the orders of the country just because you have a good relationship with me. So, please shoot me in the face, okay? Okay? "
"Hmm?" Balian nodded slightly. "That's indeed the case."
"Earl Balian, I think what he said makes sense," the adjutant said. The adjutant next to him said, "Although he is a respectable warrior, our order is to destroy the bandits. This is an order from the king."
"This … this is so sad …" Balian suddenly said emotionally, "But the battlefield is so ruthless. Sometimes we meet our friends and even relatives. It's so sad … I … adjutant … give the order for me …"
"Sir!" The adjutant also said emotionally, then looked at Li Huailin with a look of pity. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Attack! Attack! "
"Ahhh!" The surrounding soldiers all shed tears as they rushed towards Li Huailin.
"What are you guys doing!" This inexplicable situation was too much for Li Huailin to bear. Fortunately, he finally started to attack. Taking out his Bronze Sword, Li Huailin rushed towards the hundreds of soldiers.
After jumping off the wooden wall, Li Huailin activated his Battle Energy Burst skill. Now that he had increased his attributes, Li Huailin's attacks started to become abnormal again. He casually raised his sword and pierced through the armor of an Armored Soldier, causing nearly 500 damage. Because it was an ally and not a monster, Li Huailin couldn't see how much health the other side had. However, the soldier seemed to have suffered heavy damage and instantly knelt on the ground in pain. However, he didn't die. It should be counted as a hard hit.
System Notification: Because you have attacked Balian's guards, Balian's favorability towards you has increased by 20 points. Current favorability: Respect.
"Please don't level me up anymore …" Li Huailin took the time to say that. He did not stop moving his sword and slashed at the head of the soldier who had been hit by the sword.
-1140 (Critical Hit)
Battle Record: You have killed an ordinary soldier of the Empire. You have lost 130 experience points.
System Notification: Because you have killed Balian's guards, Balian's favorability towards you has increased by 35 points. Current favorability: Worship.
System Notification: Because you have killed an NPC from your own faction, you have obtained 10 Honor Points. Your Reputation in the main city has increased by 2 points.
After killing the first soldier at the front, there were still many more soldiers behind him. Of course, Li Huailin did not hope to kill so many people. Looking at the dozens of soldiers charging at him, Li Huailin prepared to respawn and go home. He would come back later.
In the end … everyone stopped in front of Li Huailin.
"I don't want to fight anymore!" A soldier shouted with tears streaming down his face. "I can't fight against a warrior that I admire. Even if I have to face military law, I won't fight anymore!"
"I also won't fight!" another soldier shouted and put down the sword in his hand.
"Huh?" Li Huailin, who thought he was on the right track, was stunned again.
