Chapter 573 - War Started (1) (1/2)

The noble's son's corpse was left alone when Smite moved back towards his comrades. He was felt a little bit disappointed since he preferred to get the ransom rather than got nothing like this. However, Smite could already guess that the result would be like this when he saw the outpost's commander.

Since the enemy already knew that the war would happen soon, Smite had to adjust the strategy. Smite began to explain his revised plan. Previously, Smite relied heavily on the surprise attack. However, that element was now gone.

After 30 minutes later, Smite finished his explanation and looked towards the outpost. He could already see the enemies were ready for him.

”Attack!!” Smite said.

With that command, all of the soldiers on Gaia's side started to march forward. Smite was at the most front and led everyone. However, they stopped when they were almost entered the enemy's ranged and magic unit's attack range.

The enemy's archers were already ready at the wall and pulled their bowstring. They only needed to release the bowstring to attack. However, since no enemies entered the attack range yet, the archers were nervously held their bowstring.

Time seemed to pass slowly. The Regalia's archers still hadn't launched their arrows yet. Meanwhile, Gaia with Smite at the very front also didn't make any move. It seemed the time was stopped.

Due to the pressure of the war, one of Regalia's archers was so nervous and mistakenly released the arrow. The arrow flew upward and fell down to the ground. Of course, the arrow could not hit anyone since the enemy was still out of range.

The archer, who made a mistake, quickly reloaded his arrow and pulled his bowstring. He was ready to release another attack.

The outpost's commander frowned. It seemed Gaia wanted to fish them out of the outpost. However, the outpost's commander stayed still and waited.

Another 5 minutes passed by. During those 5 minutes, the Regalia's archers were already released several arrows by mistake. The number was still not that much. However, the outpost's commander could see where this would go on if this continued.

The outpost's commander quickly changed his strategy and commanded half of his archers to rest. Although it was a rest command, actually, they were still standing at the front. It was to reduce their pressure and prepare them in case the enemies really attacked them.

This strategy was a success. Although there were still some mistake arrows, the number had reduced a lot, and the commander could see that the pressure on his soldiers had lessened.

Now, it came back to Smite. They could do things like this all day long. However, Gaia's side could not waste any more time, or the enemy's reinforcement would come.

Smite smiled. He could see that the outpost's commander was worthy of his name. Out of all the Regalia's outpost, the outpost's commander in front of him was actually the best.
