Chapter 575 - War Started (3) (1/2)

Everyone who got cut by the small shrapnel got poisoned. Although the poison was not that strong, it was still annoying and distracting to get poison damage from this.

Actually, not everyone got poison effect. Some of them got confuse effect and also burned effect. These three debuffs were coming from each mortar separately.

The clerics acted quickly. Some of them heal the tanker while the others started to cure the poison and the other debuff. Unfortunately, there was not mass cure spell on clerics. So, they had no choice but to do this one by one.

However, before everyone could get completely cured of the poison and the debuff, three loud sound was heard once again. Three mortars already flew towards Gaia's soldiers.

The three mortars already hit the tanker at the front. However, just like the previous occasion, small shrapnel exploded and flew towards the soldiers at the back. The reload time for the siege weapons surprised Smite.

It was too quick considering the power and the effect of the weapons. And it was faster than the reported information. Smite wanted to curse the spy who supplied this inaccurate information. However, he knew that it was also not easy to be a spy. Moreover, they had to be careful not to get caught.

”Drink your antidote and cure potion! Don't rely on the clerics' cure!” Smite shouted.

Smite knew that if they only rely on the cleric's cure, they could not advance. With Smite's command, everyone started to take out their cure potion depending on the debuff they got.

This strategy worked quite well. They started to advance once more.

The Gaia's soldiers advanced very slowly. They were blocked by the mortar's power and the Regalia's attacks. The cleric was busy healing the tanker. In the end, Smite's commanded the cleric to focus on healing and let the soldiers cure their own debuff.

Unfortunately, the pressure on the clerics had increased since the siege weapons joined in. The pressure made the clerics make some mistakes and heal the same person twice. Hence, there was someone else who didn't get a proper heal. One mistake created another error. And, this widened the gap. In the end, the first casualty from Gaia's side occurred.

When the first casualty occurred, Smite immediately shouted, ”Keep going!”

Smite knew they could not stop in the middle of the war, or else they would all die for naught. Moreover, he already knew that casualties were inevitable in a war like this.

Smite hoped that they could reach the outpost with minimum casualties. He was pondering on how to change the tide of battle. In the end, he gritted his teeth and shouted, ”Melees! Go all out. The first one who can open the gate will get a bonus from me!”

The soldiers who heard Smite's shouts started to get greedy when they heard about the bonus, especially the players. Since they could resurrect even when they died, they wanted to try their luck here.

Without disregarding the injuries, the melee soldiers ran off towards the outpost crazily as if they had seen a free diamond.
