Andrea did not look at the result at all. Instead, she aimed at the next target.
The consumption of magic power for accurate shooting was not constant. Generally speaking, the more difficult the target was, the more magic power it would consume.
This meant that the magic power that was enough to support a bow and arrow or a stone weapon for two to four hours could only last for about seven minutes at such a long distance.
She had to shoot as many bullets as possible.
Her ability responded to her will.
Andrea felt like she wasn't shooting, but dancing with the wind. Everything was so coordinated. The adjustment of the muzzle, the raising and lowering of the arms, and every movement of the body seemed to be integrated with the world.
With a firing rate of one shot per breath, Andrea quickly emptied all ten bullets and reloaded a new clip. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, and it was like a performance that had a well-thought-out plan.
However, the people on the stone wall were not so relaxed.
The Grim Reaper was racing against time to fly towards Appen's troops, but they still had no idea about it.
The Knight who commanded the mercenaries to adjust the crossbows became the first victim.
The range of these crossbows was more than 200 steps, and the iron arrowheads could easily penetrate the shields and Knight's armor within 50 steps. It was the best weapon for defending the palace.
In order to resist the powerful monster warriors, Appen moved all the inventory in the warehouse to the wall. A total of eight crossbows were placed on the section of the wall facing the Rising Sun Avenue. Considering the limited width of the street, no matter how strong the attacker was, it would be difficult to escape the crossbows.
The mercenaries only heard a muffled sound and saw that the chest of the Knight, who was still giving orders, was dented. At the same time, his body leaned back and fell to the ground without a sound.
"Sneak attack!" There was an immediate warning from the top of the wall.
Everyone pulled out their swords, but no one could find out where the attack came from.
Then came the second, the third —
Death swarmed in. The defenders kept falling, but the enemy never showed up. An indescribable fear shrouded their hearts. Dying in battle was not a rare thing for these bloody jackals and wolves, but waiting to be killed was a different matter.
This was especially true for the few mercenaries who were particularly confident in their own skills.
They found that the skills they had been practicing day in and day out were useless. The other party didn't even give them a chance to fight face to face. Whether it was the clumsy servant or the experienced Knight, there was no difference in the face of such a sudden attack. If the battle with Hermes had at least allowed them to see their enemies, this battle was simply waiting for the Grim Reaper to call their names.
In less than ten breaths of time, more than twenty corpses had appeared on the wall. Coupled with the miserable groans of the lucky survivors, most people's willpower was quickly on the verge of collapse.
"Find cover, there's a witch nearby!"
At this moment, the Chief Knight's order brought everyone back to their senses. "As long as you hide behind the battlements and wooden blocks, you can avoid the attacks! Also, take out your God's Punishment Arrows and shoot in every possible direction. Force that bastard out! "
At this moment, Andrea also noticed the changes on the stone wall.
A Knight in gold-rimmed armor seemed to be directing the situation at the scene. People kept approaching him, using various obstacles as cover, and blindly throwing arrows around. Some even directly threw the arrows with their hands. Their purpose was self-evident.
The enemy's method was not a threat to her, but if she could not completely defeat the enemy, it would hinder the God's Punishment Witches who were attacking the city.
The position of the commander happened to form a blind spot with the clock tower. She could only faintly see the commander's arm sticking out of the battlements and a small part of his helmet.
Usually, it was impossible to hit such a target, but after watching the artillery performance of the First Army, she had a different idea.
Andrea constantly stimulated her magic power to fill her arms. Pushed by invisible hands, the gun in her hand kept rising until it pointed to the sky.
When the familiar sense of coordination appeared again, she did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
At that moment, Andrea seemed to see the trajectory of the bullet. It was thrown high into the air and did not lose all its speed after passing the apex. Instead, with forward inertia, it dived in the direction of the target. Although the distance between the two was only a thousand steps, it had flown a longer distance in the air, so this bullet took much longer than the previous shots.
Then she lowered the muzzle, aimed at the Knight's helmet, and fired. The second bullet hit the edge of the battlements accurately. Bricks and stones immediately flew in all directions. The deformed bullet hit the upper part of the helmet and sent it flying. The huge impact caused the Knight to fall forward uncontrollably, exposing his soft neck.
At the same time, the first bullet hit his skin at an angle and broke his cervical vertebrae into several pieces. The Chief Knight had no time to react. He only felt a buzzing sound behind his head, and then a cold feeling on his neck. Then he lost all consciousness.
This shot almost consumed all of Andrea's remaining magic power. A strong sense of dizziness came over her. Her hands trembled and she could not even hold the butt of the gun.
However, the fall of the Chief Knight also crushed the mercenaries' last defense. The defense line of the stone wall collapsed. They turned around and ran toward the stairs, afraid that they would be the next target of the Grim Reaper. No one paid attention to the wooden blocks, hot oil, and crossbows on the wall anymore. The God's Punishment Witches also saw this change.
"Woo —"
The horn of the general attack was blown.
Elena, who was in charge of the attack team, rushed to the front. In addition to her usual equipment, she also had a bundle of hemp rope in her hand.
Just when she was about to reach the foot of the wall, she threw the rope in her hand with force. At the end of the rope, there was a four-cornered hook tightly tied to it.
A moment later, there were several "hanging ropes" on the stone wall that could be climbed. For ordinary people, it would take a lot of effort to climb over the stone wall that was more than ten feet high. However, in the eyes of the God's Punishment Witches, it was just a fence that could be crossed with one leg. Elena easily climbed to the top of the wall along the hemp rope and found that the Castle District was in a mess.
The supervision team and the reserve team arranged by Appen did not play their due role. Just when the defenders of the stone wall were fleeing, Earl Luoxi's men suddenly pulled out their swords and slashed at the guards of the King of Dawn. In addition, the escapees just wanted to leave as soon as possible. The three parties suddenly got into a scuffle.
Elena raised the corner of her mouth, took the giant sword from her back, and jumped down from the stone wall.
No one could resist her head-on attack. As long as the enemy was included in the range of the giant sword, he would be injured if he touched it, and would die if he touched it. With her own strength, she rushed out of the crowd and created a blank space.
