Chapter 169: War(9) (1/2)
The mist potions were starting to loose effect as little by little the haze was starting to clear out. The Elites were slowly but surely starting to be pushed back , or soo they made it seem .
The Elites had a battered look on their faces, and with more than 45,000 alliance members still standing , they were in an overall disadvantage .
Most of the standing Elites were at 50% Hp or less , with only some players and assasins being above 70% , but that was because they did not engage in gruelling combat.
When the fog started to clear , the assasins started to loose their edge as more and more of them were caught and killed .
It seemed that the Elites were out of tricks and that the tides of war were turning. Scorpio saw a glimmer of hope , as he ordered the troops to start pressing on the Elites.
Being pushed at a greater speed , the Elites had difficulty retreating safely , the veil of the fog now clear enough to see 20 meters .
More and more Elites fell , as the enemies started to attack the tripod formation from the sides, the two files under Karna and Neatwit suffered heavy causalities , Rudra's middle file was mostly intact , but they were under a lot of pressure.
The tripod started to compress as the initial distance of 1 meter between members was reduced to half.
Scorpio was delighted to see the Elites dying one after the other. His army's numeric superiority coming to full play!
Scorpio became exited as he ordered a full charge from the army , the Elites looked as if they had no option left as they broke formation to desperately retreat.
It was at this moment that guild leader Fernandes of OriginalManchester had a bad premonition in his gut. It seemed too easy , they seem to be forgetting something.
And indeed forgetting they were , suddenly a waze of spells hit their frontline!
BOOM , BOOM , BOOM !
Fireballs rained from the air!
The Elites wizard unit had started to take action! The fog cleared completely and the alliance army had a view of what they were missing.
They did not understand how in the dense fog they had little by little moved towards the ocean as they now realized that they were far too close .
In their last moments where they had charged at the Elites desperate to crumple them completely , they had covered close to 50 meters in ground and now they were under the range of the Ship's archballistae's.
When a rain of arrows started to pour on the army , it was at that moment that they realized their mistake.
It was at that moment that Scorpio knew that he f***** up !
