Chapter 46
The growl forced the infantry out of the city by driving them away with their brute force; the power of the grunts reflected in this situation once again. The grunting sound at the gate was specially chosen by Xiao Yu. He had picked out all the grunts that had reached level 4. A grunt that had reached level 4 could overcome five and six human soldiers at the same time as long as they were not in formation.
Argh~~
A furious roar from the grunts filled the city gates. The invading enemy soldiers constantly wanted to kill the grunts and enter the city.
Xiao Yu pointed towards the Archmage.
“Cold Cone! Outside the gate!” Xiao Yu ordered the Archmage who had just recovered mana. The mana potion that Xiao Yu gave to the Archmage acted very slowly. It took about four or five minutes to recover the depleted mana. Xiao Yu understood that the mana recovery rate would be much faster when he was able to produce a high level mana potion.
Archmage smiled and nodded. He started chanting as a huge ice cone appeared outside the city gate. The ice started splashing everywhere. The light infantry soldiers faced an ice storm. Most of them howled sadly before their deaths.
Last time, Xiao Yu used 50 elf archers to support the grunts as they held the city gates. However, in this battle he had chosen Archmage to support the grunts. The scale of the battle was too large. If he chose the elves then they would have to look out of the wall to annihilate the enemies at the gate. But the Archmage did not have to approach the edge of the wall; he could only cast spells and direct his formation outside the gate. Moreover, the number of soldiers who died at the hands of the Archmage was far more than if he used elves
“First group! Ready it! Shoot it! Second group! Ready it! Shoot it!" Xiao Yu saw that Tyrande had found another enemy witch so he started ordering the shooters to target the witch.
Magicians could not protect themselves from the continuous stream of bullets fired by the shooter.
Puchi~.
A long spear pierced through the body of a soldier recruited by Captain Hui. A ballista used by the enemy was throwing a long spear. The accuracy is not good but the shots are deadly. At the same time, the five catapults of the enemy started throwing huge stones at the wall.
However, the efficiency of the enemy catapult is not as good as a ballista. They used large stones that they could only throw one at a time. Xiao Yu, on the contrary, used the smaller stones to throw 7 or 8 pieces at once which spread out and inflicted more damage.
There are advantages to using large stones and small stones depending on the situation. Large stones could pierce through and create gaps in the walls but the accuracy of such a shot was extremely low.
“The first Demolisher group takes aim at the first ballista on the left side! Ready it! Shoot it!" Xiao Yu quickly predicted that the threat of a ballista was higher than a slingshot, so he decided to deal with the ballista first.
His soldiers and Captain Hui's soldiers were able to escape from the boulder as they were able to determine its trajectory. However, the spear thrown by the ballista was much faster, accurate, and powerful. Even the Archmage would be killed if he was hit by one of them. Xiao Yu did not want to face such a situation so he decided to deal with the ballistae before the catapult.
After four consecutive shots, Xiao Yu was able to destroy the scattered enemy ballista. Although they launched and threw spears several times before he succeeded, fortunately, there was not much damage.
However, he was not stingy with potions and used them to save anyone he could. After destroying the ballista, Xiao Yu used ten Destroyers and four Glaive Throwers to aim at the enemy catapult. It didn't take long before they were also destroyed.
After the destruction of the catapult and the balista, the only remaining threats were the warriors and magicians.
The battle at the gate had turned tragic. The enemy army rushed in an attempt to break through. However, Grom was able to lead the grunts to push back the enemy each time.
Not only light infantry but heavy infantry were also involved in the battle at the gate. Because of their armor, they could not climb the wall so their only option was to attack through the gate. The giant axes from the grunts were sharp but they could not easily tear apart the heavy infantry armor. However, it did not matter as Xiao Yu had taught them some ways to handle heavy infantry efficiently.
The first method shown by Xiao Yu was to swing the ax to the side at the head of the heavy infantry. Due to the overwhelming grunting power, the heads of the heavy infantry warriors were chopped or crushed even though they were wearing helmets. Xiao Yu had shown them the second method if the grunts could not attack the heads of the heavy infantry. That method was to use their large legs to kick the heavy infantryman's knees. Their knees are protected by a thin metal but neither the protective nor the knee joint can withstand the impact of a kicking hard bang.
The facts proved that Xiao Yu's approach was very effective and worthy of fighting the heavy infantry. By kicking their knees the grunts were able to handle heavy infantry much more easily than light infantry.
The light infantry troops could dodge and sway sideways; the heavy infantry could not. Heavy infantry were extremely strong against ordinary human soldiers because humans could not penetrate their armor but the grunts were unaffected in such a small battle.
Buzz~
Xiao Yu saw the Archmage reach level 9. He immediately added a skill point to the Water Elemental Summoning skill.
In an instant, another water element appeared next to the Archmage. That and the first one helped the Archmage to deal with the enemy army.
Grom constantly used the Quail Wind to slash through enemies; before long, he also reached level 11. Xiao Yu added another skill point to the Whirlwind skill so that it reached level 2.
The strength of the Quail Wind increased by 100% at level 2.
Cut~ Cut~
Grom launched the Quail Wind once again as it smashed into the enemy army. A powerful battle energy covered his body and sword as he continued to harvest life as if he was reaping wheat.
Tyrande had also reached level 11. Xiao Yu added skill points to Trueshot's aura. The role of Trueshot Aura was excellent on the battlefield as it not only increased the strength of the skill users but also the entire platoon of long-range elf archers.
