The heavy-armored troops were not in a hurry to charge. They had to at least wait for the first wave of arrows to land.
The archers loosened their bowstrings and let out a loud sound in unison, shaking the chests of everyone on the battlefield.
Due to the design of the barbs and blood grooves, the specially made arrows of the empire had a unique whistling sound when flying. In the ears of bandits and enemies of the empire, such a sound was called the call of the Grim Reaper. The arrows that were shot were also enchanted with anti-magic or armor-piercing effects. Every one of them was an expensive magic arrow.
The advantage of the Guevana Empire's long-range attacks could be said to be the most mysterious. The archery skills of the elves had been passed down by the archers of the empire. Countless mages and magical beasts had died under the hands of the empire's archers. However, the archers never felt proud. They also did not stir, talk, or disturb the formation.
On the battlefield, they would only skillfully take out a second arrow from their quiver and nock it on their bow, quietly waiting for the next order. If the enemy approached, they would place their hand on the short sword at their right waist and wait for the order to engage in melee combat.
According to past experience, the distance between the vanguard and the enemy should allow them to have a chance to fire a wave of arrows before they charged. As long as they waited for the commander's order, everyone would shoot in unison to maximize the power of the arrows.
Just one or two arrows could be easily dodged or deflected by a skilled warrior. However, hundreds or thousands of arrows could cause a person to lose focus and greatly increase the hit rate. This was also the biggest reason why the long-range troops had to attack together.
However, the sky turned dark before they could wait for the orders of the platoon commander. However, it was not long after noon. It was not time for dinner yet. This did not mean that the soldiers who thought this way were all foodies. It was just that the regular life of the army allowed them to roughly judge the current time through their own physiological conditions.
However, the sky turned dark when it should not have. Was this the effect of magic? The last thing that came into the eyes of the archers was the dense, overlapping layers of white light that swept across the entire night like a web.
Compared to them, it was unknown whether the heavy-armored soldiers in the front row were lucky or unlucky. The heavy-armored soldiers who were moving forward with their heads lowered did not know what had happened at all, and all of them were turned into one-centimeter cubes of meat.
Including the armor, the weapons in their hands, the items they carried with them, the magic adamantine shields at the front, and the arrows that were thrown from the sky, whether it was the soldiers in the front or the back, or the warhorses that the high-ranking officers rode, the entire street became a scene of hell paved with blood and debris after the fine net weaved by the light swept across. It was the same in front and behind. No one survived, and no one was even standing.
The night was gone. Only Lin and the other five stood in the center of this hell.
At this moment, Halloumi's performance exceeded her usual level. Only then did she cast the magic that was used to defend against long-range weapons — Wind Barrier. If the archers from the front and back were to attack like normal, the rain of arrows would fall like rain. The Wind Barrier would only be able to intercept a portion of the arrows, and some of them would even be broken by the anti-magic effect of the arrows. Her hard work would have been meaningless.
But now, only a portion of the fragments passed through the net of light, maintaining their original kinetic energy and falling sparsely on their heads. And this portion was blocked by the Wind Barrier and slid to the side.
It should have been time to celebrate their survival, but everyone just stared blankly at the bloody street in front of them. Halloumi looked at this familiar scene and even pursed her lips, muttering, "The white light destroys the light …"
Occasionally, one could see metal objects bathed in blood, but they also became dim. It was hard to imagine that just a moment ago, there was a majestic and mighty army standing on this street. If it was not for the fact that they were on the opposite side of the crusade, such a team would definitely be admired by men and adored by women. But now, all of this no longer existed.
Compared to the others who were scared silly and did not know how to react, the emotions that Lin had been suppressing finally exploded at this moment. After days of planning and planning, gritting his teeth to do things that he did not like, he still failed under his own miscalculation. That mistake was to treat this army as the miscellaneous army that he had dealt with before.
It did not matter if they were as fierce as tigers or as timid as mice when they fought. When an army had mid-level officers like the centurion of the Roman legion, and no casualties would cause the morale of the army to be shaken or the command system to be completely paralyzed, this was a very powerful army. Even if their commander was as stupid as a pig, it could not hide the fact that their soldiers were quite outstanding.
Of course, such a determined army would not be shaken by a certain person's petty actions. In the end, they could only go to the point where their bayonets were red and determine the winner in a head-on confrontation. But, all of this should not have happened!
"You guys." Swinging the Cassette Cutting in his hand, Lin said angrily, "Go back to the hotel yourselves. There is no need to go anywhere else. Kaya! Give me the markings of all the members of the Viscount family. "
"Kaya is not here …" Before Halloumi could finish her sentence, her teacher disappeared in front of her eyes. Only then did she remember that since she had sent out the signal for help, her teacher had also appeared. Then, her companion must be in front of the realistic view of Abadan City, monitoring everything that happened here.
Her sister came to her side and patted the blonde girl's shoulder gently. She said, "Your teacher is getting more and more exaggerated. I can't even figure out if I've done the devil king before or if he's done the devil king before. " Although Fen was joking, she suddenly realized the ambiguity in her words. She was speechless for a moment and quickly changed the topic. She asked, "You just mentioned White Ray of Destruction. Is that the name of this spell? Have you seen it before? "
As the center of the conversation, the girl suddenly became the focus of attention of the remaining living people. The White Ray of Destruction that she had mentioned earlier, although her voice was not loud, still entered everyone's ears. At least, it was not any known spell.
Halloumi, on the other hand, seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She pointed at the mess on the ground and said excitedly, "This is not magic. This is a defensive magic trap that was set up inside the Tower of the Great Sage in the past."
Only then did everyone remember the man's previous identity. And the tower that was gradually forgotten by history had created many miracles in this era. As for the magic tower's trap and so on …
"Your teacher is getting more and more exaggerated." Lich, who had lived in the Tower of the Great Sage before, although she had not seen the magic trap in the tower activated, it did not stop her from studying the magic array patterns that were engraved in the tower.
It was similar to Blink. The reason why she did not intend to teach the two girls who had pestered her several times and said that they wanted to learn it was because it was not a spell that could be cast with the body of a human.
She was able to use Blink because she was completely different from a human being in terms of her flesh and blood. She was even different from all known creatures. Even dragons, other than their size, she could proudly say that dragons were far inferior to the current Fen Tikal in terms of physical excellence. Gods were not to be mentioned. Strictly speaking, they were creatures of a different dimension.
But that man was still a pure human. Although he was slightly different from the people in the mysterious land, the strength of his body was not much different from the two girls. At most, it was the difference between an adult man and a girl who had just come of age.
She was already surprised that such a person could use Blink. Now, he could also use the magic tower's defensive trap that the girl had mentioned. This was no longer like a human.
However, unlike the shock of Uzov and the goblin father and daughter, the golden-haired girl seemed to be worried about something else. She looked at her sister with concern and asked, "Teacher is going to find the family members of Viscount Niya. Is that okay? He didn't always want to do it. "
"You said it yourself. It's just that he didn't want to. It's not that he can't. And he's not a big person with a compassionate mind. He's just a small person who doesn't want to cause trouble. But since he was forced to make a move, I guessed that he wanted to eliminate all the hidden dangers that could become trouble in the future before he stopped. Anyway, in the future negotiations with the nobles, there's no difference if he kills one or a hundred people. "
Fen saw that the girl was still struggling with the conflict between compassion and reality, and she did not interrupt her own thoughts. Everyone's growth was always in this kind of constant conflict and agitation, and they would always find their own direction. That man did not want to be too forceful and leave his style in the two girls. Fen agreed with this approach.
And right now, she had another thing to clarify. Fen turned to the goblin father and daughter who were trembling and leaning against each other, "Totokani, I hope that this time you were surrounded was caused by your carelessness."
The goblin who was called out stiffened and trembled. He forced himself to be spirited and smiled flatteringly, "Lady Fen, I don't quite understand what you mean. Perhaps you've misunderstood something. "
"For example, think of a way to create an opportunity for the sorcerers to clash head-on with the imperial army. That person shouldn't need a goblin who can barely hold anything other than a wrench to charge. That's why you're having sex. You can fill in the gaps yourself. I won't help you think too much. "
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" The goblin broke out in a cold sweat, and his ugly green face was scrunched up as he spoke in panic.
Fen pointed at the bloody scene and said, "Do you see the situation in front of you? If you fall into my hands, you'll know how extravagant it is to be able to join them. "After Fen finished her warning, she turned and prepared to leave. At the same time, she said," Let's go, it's time to go back. It's quite a distance to walk back to the inn from here. "
"Elder Sister, this place isn't …" Hallumi asked hesitantly as she looked at the disgusting and bloody scene.
Uzov, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "Don't worry, the people here will clean up the mess themselves. Or rather, it's necessary to let them clean up themselves. Otherwise, everything your teacher has done will be in vain. "
Fen looked at the man who spoke with interest. She could more or less guess why this former adventurer of the Turtledove Alliance would shamelessly follow someone's side. Anyway, it was definitely not like the stories that someone often told, where the protagonist's body trembled and tens of thousands of people fell to their knees. However, the other party's attitude now seemed to be standing on someone's side, and even seemed to be more determined than the goblin. She was very curious about what Uzov was thinking now.
Of course, Uzov could understand what the former Demon King was thinking when he looked at him. He said, "I just don't want you to kill the innocent, that's all. It doesn't mean that I want to see you being bullied by others. These are two different things. " The members of the Turtledove Alliance were a headache because they unreasonably protected their own people. This is not an organization of Holy Virgins.
