Chapter 29 (2/2)

“I will kill this orc and use its skull to drink wine… It will highlight my glory!” Marcus gestured for his soldiers to attack. As a second-rank warrior, Marcus felt that Grom was strong but he was still confident that he would be able to kill the orc.

In addition to Marcus, there were a few vice-leaders in the camp who were warriors that have reached the late stage of the first-rank.

At the same time, Archmage Antonidas, who was standing next to Xiao Yu, joined the battle.

Antonidas whispered the spell and a large ice cone appeared over the bandits. The icicle began to smash down and kill bandits.

While the bandits were surprised to see that Xiao Yu had a mage, they weren’t shocked. It wasn’t rare for a territory’s Lord to have a mage. Even they had a mage in their camp!

Moreover, mages were strong in long range attacks but it was easy to kill them in close combat.

The vice-leaders couldn’t directly jump over the wall so they tried to run towards the stone steps and rush up.

These bandits soon found out that there were numerous invisible archers on the walls. The archers seemed to possess stealth mode like assassins! As it was difficult to find the location of archers, they didn’t know how many were on top of the walls in total.

Normal bandits did their best to use shields while warriors used battle energy to block arrows.

Soon, they found out that Xiao Yu’s side had another strong weapon. Bang~ Bang~… They were shooting projectiles that the bandits couldn’t see with the naked eye but was very lethal.

One of the warriors was accidentally hit by a bullet. His calf was pierced through. This wound was at least ten times more severe than an arrow wound; the pain he felt was incredible. It felt as if his leg was broken.

The advantage of the riflemen was shown. The powerful warriors could resist arrows but they couldn’t overpower bullets.

The riflemen were slow and had low accuracy, but the advantages they held over archers were the bullet’ speed and power.

Xiao Yu ordered riflemen to concentrate on enemy warriors who depended on battle energy to fight. Although their accuracy was low if many riflemen concentrated on one warrior then at least one bullet would hit.

Bang~~ bang~

A warrior was hit by several bullets and lost his life in the same instant. Had it been arrows then he could have relied on his armor and battle energy to defend so the wounds wouldn’t be fatal, but he couldn’t prevent a bullet.

The threat of archers and magician was strong as the warriors couldn’t get to the wall.

Countless arrows were shot as grunts used giant axes to kill the normal bandits.

“They are way too strong! Mobilize our magician and break through their formation!” One of the vices shouted out.

Mages were like artillery in this era. A magician could break through a formation where an army couldn’t even pass.

The bandit mage quickly rushed over. In fact, he hadn’t been far away but was waiting for the right opportunity to cast his spell.

Dozens of bandits used shields to protect the mage as he began to whisper the spell. The mage feared that the powerful archers from Xiao Yu’s side would kill him.

There was quite a distance between elven archers and the enemy mage. Moreover, because of their shields the enemy mage wasn’t worried about his own health— but that was because he wasn’t aware that Xiao Yu had Tyrande and the riflemen.

Bang~

Arrow and bullets flashed past. At least two bandits who were using shields to protect the mage died on the spot. The mage wasn’t able to release the spell and was shot to death.

“A small time mage was courting death; he got what he wanted.” Xiao Yu was proud of Tyrande’s and riflemen’s performance.

Although the accuracy of firemen was low, one or two bullets would always hit when all of them were aimed at the same place.

Xiao Yu decided that he had to get machine guns or automatic rifles as soon as possible!
