Chapter 185 (1/2)
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Several soldiers hid behind the shi+elds However, they had assu posture and were thus struck by the arrows Oliseh angrily shouted, ”You fools! Pay attention to your postures! Have you forgotten your training? damn it! Counter attack! Shoot them with arrows!”
The soldiers calmed dohen they heard his orders They responded promptly with their conditioned reflexes which were achieved through rigorous training It had almost become their subconscious habit
The Roland soldiers they were fighting were not part of the main army Instead, they were a low-ranked auxiliary troop of the Gordon Kingdoroup had been dispatched to look for food and their archers were not very skillful They had shot the first volley wildly in the dark and ed to hit a few soldiers Before they could shoot the second volley, the Empire's soldiers had started to return fire
Hoas the archery of the Lightning God's Whip? The soldiers selected to be part of the Lightning God's Whip were all excellent soldiers Whether it was horse, or archery, they were incomparable Under certain situations, the cavalry could instantly transforht now, these soldiers were not on horses Instead, they were on solid ground Naturally, their accuracy would be even better
Although the Lightning God's Whip was outnumbered several times by the enemy, there were very few archers in the Roland ar 300 archers On the other hand, each and every one of the Lightning God's Whip was a qualified archer They were elites that could switch instantly their scile order
Screams pierced the dark as the arrows found their marks on the Roland archers! Half of the several hundred archers collapsed within a moment!
The re sorcerer tried to secretly approach the Empire's soldiers from the sky However, Oliseh saw him and immediately shot an arrow at him Fortunately for him, the sorcerer had soher He had avoided the same fate as the other sorcerer
After avoiding the arrow, the sorcerer became furious He shot two fireballs froh the air towards the slope of the small hill
The Lightning God's Whip was not the least worried One officer shouted, ”The shi+elds!” The soldiers then raised their shi+elds, holding it above their heads at the same time
The two fireballs hit the shi+elds, causing sparks to fly everywhere However, the shi+elds that rapped in protective cowhide were not destroyed
The sorcerer was just an ordinary sorcerer of an auxiliary troop His skill was only just average He painstakingly stayed just out of range because he was afraid of being struck by the arrows The two ic fireballs were actually quite powerful However, it's power had greatly diminished by the time it reached the hill
”shi+t…” Oliseh cursed and picked up two arrows He then nocked an arrow, pulled the bow string and released the arrow at the sorcerer
Oliseh was already a Grade 3 swordsman and he could naturally shoot further compared to ordinary soldiers That sorcerer in ain when he saw a cold gleaed The arrohizzed past his head, causing him to perspire cold sweat
After that narrow escape, the sorcerer screamed furiously ”Who was that bastard who shot that arrow? Watch me burn you alive!”
The , he heard a 'whoosh' sound in the wind This tie sound and felt a sharp pain in his chest as the arrow struck him He could not understand even when he died He had been more alert than earlier and yet he could not even see the arrow before being hit
Oliseh spat as he put down the bow and arrow He then picked up his scimitar and muttered, ”Fortunately, I learned this froet rid of that sorcerer”
Oliseh ad that tiht him how to shoot a hidden arrow like the second one he had shot earlier
The hidden arroasan arrow painted in black When it was shot at night, it would not be easily detected Besides that, the arrow had a unique shape that reduced the sound h the air It was a hidden and 'silent' arrow Used in the night, naturally, it would be hard for an ordinary enemy to avoid it
The Roland army down the hill had fallen into confusion They had lost half of their archers The reroups of infantries rushed up the hill slope
Oliseh took a look at the behind two hundred Lightning God's Whip cavalrymen and one hundred supply soldiers on the slope, he led the rest of his ar arrows
Sure enough, the Roland soldiers ere rushi+ng up the hill were struck with arrows In the dark, they could only hear the screams However, they could not tell the number of soldiers killed by the arrows The Roland army soldiers were not elites When they heard the miserable screams of their companions, they started to panic and called for a retreat
The Roland arry and ordered histhem to advance He also saw that the hill was very s soldiers around it to attack from behind He ordered his Deputy Commander to reroup of soldiers with him around the back of the hill
The Deputy Commander was quite cautious He realized that the enemy only shot a few hundred arrows in each volley and realized that the enemy army was just a small unit No doubt the arroere deadly, but how many arrows could they have? After a few volleys, the enemy would have exhausted their supply of arrows He executed a few htened to move ahead, then harshly ordered the rest of the His opponents this ties filled with h weapons and arrows
Their co officer's harsh orders made the Roland soldiers feel helpless They could only try and rush up the hill even when they felt afraid They then screamed miserably when another volley of arrows rained down on them Those ere hit fell and rolled down the hill These soldiers were not brave elites They just feared their officer They then started to shout, ”Charge! Kill!” Their shouts were impressive but most of them deliberately slowed down They took one step back for every two or three steps they took forward, hoping that others would run in front of them
Naturally, not all of the Roland soldiers were cowardly There were still a few brave soldiers Unfortunately, these soldiers were not too smart The moment they heard their companions shout bravely, they rushed forward They then noticed that there was nobody else around theht where they were The brave ones who rushed foolishly ahead found thery, they were shot down by the soldiers of the Erily conde damn it! You played me!
As he had already seen the results of the shocking battles earlier, Oliseh had been vigilant and had earlier decided to caed in a circle to for in the middle
The Roland cavalry had gone around the hill They intended to attack their enemies froes arranged in an ingenious defensive formation
The carriages were a few meters tall As a result, the Roland horses were unable to jues The cavalryap at the
However, when they were just a few paces away fro dozen cavalrymen immediately fell off their horses Their co forward ended up stu because of them The Roland officer shouted, ”Do not be afraid! They do not have many archers!”
The cavalrymen would naturally be more elite compared to infantries They understood that after a volley, the archers would need tie of that ap As they have a lot of people, they would be able to defeat the supply units
The ed forward but then their enemies did not shoot anywords In the past few days, they have heard these words hts between the Empire army and the Roland army Every time they heard these words, a fierce and ruthless army would appear
The voices roared in the dark ”Wolf Fang!”
Hundreds of voices had shouted as one, creating an i atmosphere as if it was shouted by ten thousand soldiers ”Kill!”
The thundering of hooves could be heard as they saw their enery wave
”It's the Wolf Fang!”
”My God!”
”Sht! Run!”
Before they could understand anything, they had instinctively turned their horses around and scattered into different directions
Wolf Fang! Sht! Our opponents this ti group; none of thes However, they had seen enough in the past few days — the Wolf Fangs were the elites even ahts were able to fight against this extremely powerful cavalry Unfortunately, they were not able to understand how the ordinary supply soldiers suddenly became the Empire's h these soldiers were really part of the WolfFang, they were all new to the battlefield and have not even spilled blood before, unlike the truly elitist veteran Wolf Fangs that had been baptized by fire at the battle fronts
Without waiting for orders fro forward immediately scattered
Oliseh took the lead and brandished his scimitar A cavalry through the gaps of the victi into the muscles and bones of his enemy
Warm blood sprayed on his face Oliseh felt his chest burn as if a fire had been lit in his heart He continued to roar as he led the few hundred cavalry thousands of the enemy cavalrymen
The Roland officer had not given up even though his subordinates had retreated Although he was surprised that the supply units were the Lightning God's Whip, he immediately realized that his opponents only had a few hundred soldiers The officer immediately shouted, ”They do not have many soldiers! Kill them! Destroy them!”
The officer was brave like a knight but unfortunately, not all of his hts Before their opponents reached theroup had already run away The officer was so angry that he could only rush forith a few of his subordinates that were still beside him
These soldiers near hihts The officer only had one thought The enemy did not have many soldiers On the other hand, we have a lot of soldiers! With our nuht be possible for us to compete with thehtning God's Whip is undefeatable! Besides that, we also have soldiers on the other side of this hill Perhaps they have already charged up the hill As long as we execute a pincer attack”
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The clashi+ng sounds of swords filled the air The cavalrymen in the front had met their enemies However, the ones that screamed and fell off their horses wereGod's Whip were much more powerful than the cavalrymen froth Even the Lightning God's Whip charge was more accurate and had more momentum After that, the Roland Army frontline started to crumble
