Chapter 54 - The Third Wave (2/2)
Simultaneously, with a frown between his eyebrows after spotting the wolves, Mitchell suddenly shouted,
”Archers!!”
”Be ready! Only aim at the wolves!”
After six people standing at the front had heard Mitchell's shouts, they nocked their bows with the arrows, waiting patiently for the following command.
Finally...
When the wolves ran out of the passageway, Mitchell gave his order,
”Fire!!”
*Thwish* *Thwish* *Thwish*
*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*
The sounds of bowstrings being released, followed by the whooshing sounds of arrows traveling through the air, rang out...
*Puchi*
*Puchi*
*Clatter*
*Clatter*
With two arrows hit the body of two wolves, while another four had missed their targets...
After seeing that two wolves were injured with the first wave of arrows, Mitchell gave another command,
”Aim one more time at the wolves!”
”Fire!!”
*Thwish* *Thwish* *Thwish*
*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*
Just like that, the arrows traveled through the air and hit another two wolves...
”Archers, retreat. Warriors, standby!”
With another command from Mitchell, the formation changed to another one with people holding short-ranged weapons moving to the front, stationed behind the barricades and traps instead. At the same time, the six archers retreated to the backline.
Currently, row after row of skeleton soldiers was coming out of the entrance, whereas several imps were flying above those boney creatures' heads.
Each of the skeleton soldiers held varied weapons such as a short knife, sharp bone, long sharp pole, and so on.
It seemed like they were also upgraded with better weapons and gears, just like Earthlings did.
”Be prepared for the clash! Steel your fucking ass!!” Shouted Eddie, who stood at the formation's most center while holding an iron sword and shield.
Soon...
*Bam* *Slash*
*Thump* *Bam*
*Whoosh* *Crunch*
The melee fight finally broke out with the Earthlings' side had the locational advantages as they had built many barricades and traps to slow down the outlanders.
”Don't let them through. Shielders, push them out!!”
”Aarghh!! Die, bastards!”
”Archers fire at the imps!”
”Warriors, aim at the neck area.”
”Damn, I'm wounded. Substitute me.”
Command after command being relayed to everyone continuously while everyone was also doing their best to meet the expectations of those commands.
...
While the fight on the right passageway was as intense as it could be, the battle on the left passageway was something entirely different.
*Whoosh*
*Crack* *Crack*
*Whoosh*
*Crunch*
Astonishing enough, the fight on this side was initiated with one human against an army comprised of tens of skeleton soldiers and several imps.
'I wonder how those guys are doing. It is so boring here, for these skeletons can't even come close to me.'
Jeremy thought leisurely about the people stationed at another passageway.
As the fight here was not satisfactory enough, Jeremy felt a bit disappointed.
'I will just think of this as a warm-up before going through the second door then...'
With that thought in mind, Jeremy plunged the spear blade accurately towards the incoming imp.
*Fwoosh*
*Puchi*
As an imp's body was very small, only a spear thrust was enough to detach its head from the body.
Just like that, one imp dropped to the ground headlessly, dead...
Meanwhile, at almost ten meters behind Jeremy, those ten people were not standing idly, as some outlanders had walked past Jeremy to the back.
Thus, the people from behind had to fight, too, albeit with only a minimal amount of skeleton soldiers and some imps.
