Chapter 14
Chi~ Chi~ Chi~ More than two hundred arrows whistled in the sky and fell like rain.
Desir~ Desir~…
The elf archers who were behind came to the front. They neatly stood in line and started shooting from their long bows.
The success rate of each blow is 70%. Within seconds, nearly 200 enemy soldiers were killed.
Archers have low levels so their shot fatality is not high. However, they could learn more skills as the archer level increased.
The elf archers would automatically master 3 skills as their levels increased. They would automatically master the 'Precise Shooting' skill as soon as they reached level 3. The hit rate and power of each arrow attack would increase greatly at that level. The elf archers would master the skill of 'Some arrows' as soon as they reached level 6. This way they can send three to seven arrows on each attack. At level 10 an elf archer would master the 'Guardian of the Moon' skill'. This skill will increase the accuracy and intensity of their shooting speed. Moreover, his attacks would not be limited only to the physical level but also to the magical level with the help of the moon aura.
If an elf archer could break through level 10 to 11 then it would be a hero. After that, the archer can continue to grow and learn skills like those used by Tyrande.
Orc warriors also had the same ability. They would learn a skill called 'Berserker' when they reached level 3. That would increase their attack power by 50%. However, some orcs lose their sanity and only know to attack and kill until the berserker effect disappears. They would learn a skill called 'Cleave' when they reached level 6 which would increase their attack range and weapon strength. This is a skill that is perfect for close combat. At level 10, orc warriors would learn attacking skills that would amplify their attacks multiple times. If an Orc Warrior was able to break through level 10 to 11 then he would become a Hero. They can choose to follow the path of the Blademaster, the head of Tauren or some other hero
The death of 200 soldiers did not destabilize Carrie's army. They had 5,000 soldiers and two hundred was only a small part.
However, the next moment the sound of arrows echoed once again and another 150 soldiers were killed. The second wave arrow attack did not kill as much as the first wave because the enemy was ready. Some soldiers from the enemy side took out their shields while others dodged and some died. However, the accuracy of archers was already very high for normal humans.
Army commander Carrie shouted for the soldiers to rush forward.
According to their intelligence, there should not be too many troops in the Lion town. So where did these elite archers come from? Where did Xiao Yu hire mercenaries from? If so, how would the Lion town pay them? Are they not bankrupt?
The archers were strong but the commander from Carrie's side could not order the soldiers to retreat. If the momentum of the attack was broken, the losses would be more serious. They had started an attack and the only option was to rush into the wall. They had to put up stairs and climb along the way. The role of archers would be minimized as soon as the soldiers reached the wall.
Captain Hui was surprised when he saw two hundred archers in action.
The enemy will suffer because of this archer. He regained a little of his confidence.
“Block them! Don't let them stick to the wall.” Captain Hui ordered four hundred soldiers and ordered them to welcome the enemy soldiers who had come to besiege them.
The sound of arrows echoed as if to be the main musical theme of the battlefield. The soldiers from the enemy side kept falling to never stand up again.
However, the enemy was able to pass through and reach the foot of the city. The soldiers began to put up the stairs. At this time nearly 800 soldiers were killed from Carrie's side. It was an incredible feat as not a single minute had passed since the start of the war.
The archers did their best but they were not very effective in close quarters. As a result, many enemy soldiers could climb.
Once the enemy army reached the wall and turned the battle from a distance into close combat, the role of the archer would be greatly reduced.
The most useful part that archers play in battle is in the early stages. However, that early stage was a relatively short time.
"Where did they get the archers?" Carrie saw resistance. Even though he had lost nearly 20% of his strength, he was still able to continue the battle. However, having so many archers placed on the walls was a huge threat to him.
He had thought that Xiao Yu did not have an army and would surrender very easily.
However, the initial phase of the battle was beyond his expectations.
Still, Carrie wasn't worried. He knew that Xiao Yu did not have more than 1000 soldiers. He did not face any problems since he had 5000 soldiers let alone mages and catapults.
A smile appeared on Carrie's face as she watched the soldiers climb the stairs. As long as the army positioned itself on top of the wall then the Lion city would fall.
Argh~~
A ferocious roar echoed from above the wall.
Two hundred soldiers dressed in black robes rushed forward to the side of the wall. They began to attack the enemy soldiers who reached the top of the stairs. The blow from the black-robed warrior would make the enemy warrior fly away.
The enemy soldiers who climbed up saw the muscular soldiers. They were clear that they could not retreat either. There are soldiers piling up under them.
After a slight shock, the enemy soldiers started to climb up.
But they met a giant axe. Once they set foot on the wall, the axe would be hacked. Sometimes the axe would tear off the shield they used.
The walls of the Lion City were very long. It's about 2000 meters long. However, two hundred Orc warriors were distributed along the defensive line. Moreover, the strong orc warriors were facing the soldiers rising from the stairs one-on-one. That was why they had a great advantage over the enemy troops. Carrie's army used the stairs and it seemed that the outcome of the battle would not change no matter how many soldiers ascended.
The archers surprised Carrie. However, the appearance of the orc warrior really surprised him.
Moreover, he had no idea that the other party was made of orc warriors. He only recognized them as formidable soldiers.
Commander Carrie's army is going through a bad time. His face became ugly as corpses would fly down from the stairs almost at any time.
There were so many stairs scattered along the long wall, but not a single soldier could climb the wall.
The archers also stopped shooting. They were constantly sending arrows. Although the soldiers used shields for protection, the number of casualties increased every minute.
It had been 10 minutes since the start of the war and he had lost over 1000 people and the other party had not had a single casualty.
“They have elite soldiers and archers. It would be very difficult to climb the wall so we had to break through the gate. We can count on the superiority of numbers to beat them if it makes it through the gate.” The commander muttered. At first he had thought using 5000 soldiers to fight against such a small territory force was like bullying them. However, he did not expect the result to be like this.
Moreover, he was confident of getting a penalty when they returned. Although Carrie is the head of the force, the commander believes that Carrie will be able to find a way to push all the guilt on her.
He hoped to use a battering ram to get into the city and win the war. This way he could minimize the punishment he would face.
Boom~~
The breaker reached the city gate. The large wood hit the city gate as the soldiers swung it forward and backward.
