Mage Academy - Chapter 13
It was late in the evening when they reached Route 3 It really couldn’t be considered a nice place; the terrain was h slope it had no natural protection The group stopped to set up ca wait
“He didn’t tell us anything,” titan couy”
“Military secrets are none of our business,” his brother Tho will turn out alright”(1)
“Cain, ah,” titan suddenly spoke to the silent knight “How many rebels do you think there are?”
The knight ignored hiiven Their supplies were quite abundant; not only were the archers given ordinary bows, they’d been equipped with longbows for long-range shooting
“White?”
“I don’t know … maybe twenty or thirty?”
“That would be good,” titan nodded “We can pick off half of them froht, Captain?”
“Ah,” the elf answered, staring into the distance
“What are you looking at?” titan couldn’t help but follow his gaze, but soon shook his head and turned away “Looks like we’re gonna be here all night … I really don’t want to wait that long, ah …”
“There are fifty,” the elf finally spoke “Change of plans; the two thieves and White will come with me Everyone else should stay here If any of the rebels coe”
Cain stood up(2) Most of their opponents would be wearing arhter He would need a little more protection
“Count me in I won’t slow you down” The elf looked at him in surprise and nodded Archers and thieves are naturally very fast, and usually even knights with ical enhancements could barely keep up
The four of thehly 300 yards from the enemy, Ellen launched an attack Of course, at this distance his arrows did little dae to the armored rebels, who only lifted their shi+elds and marched forward steadily
Ellen continued to shoot sporadically, so entirely Every time an arrow came near, those in weaker ar carefully, Ellen struck as soon as they dropped their guard, and soon several of them were injured
Judging by the attack frequency and direction, it was obvious that there was only one archer If an archer doesn’t move, and only continues to attack from one location, of course they will be exposed
The rebels sent four heavily armored warriors in the direction of the attack and continued on their way But Ellen had intended to be found and rapidly picked up speed; arrows flew quickly towards the rebels However, when the four drew closer, the arrows stopped abruptly
The warriors looked at each other They hadn’t even ave in, and they felt nervous about the possibility of a trap But they were a part of the rebellion’s main force for a reason, and they continued to advance
Suddenly, four arrows shot out and crippled the warriors- now, their heavy arhed them down Without exception, the warriors fell for the trap Ellen signaled for the thieves to act and rushed away, leaving Cain and the two thieves to finish the warriors off
When they looked up, they saw that Ellen and White had circled the rebels and had once again started to shoot indiscriminately into the crowd This ti off the rebels with ease
The rebels stopped and waited for a while It was still clear to see that they weren’t dealing with scattered forces, only one that had changed positions When the rebels ht up to White and Ellen After asking Cain to cover for White, Ellen raced ahead of the rebels towards the hidden camp
The rebels were ht in a series of clever traps arranged by the mercenaries that had remained in camp The traps weren’t fatal, but they completely immobilized the rebel forces At this point, another round of arrows came from a different direction
