Chapter Sixteen: Tyrande vs. The Sorcerer
Roar...
Grom swung his long sword and charged into the enemy's crowd, left and right, continuously cutting down the enemy soldiers.
After this period of killing, Grom has reached level 7. Xiao Yu also upgraded Grom's Invincible Slash by one level, so Invincible Slash has now reached level 3. With a single sword strike from Grom, the two-meter-long sword energy can directly cleave through two people.
"Kill, get me in." Karu's commander was also furious at this time. So many people had died, and the city gate was already open, but they couldn't get in. It was really frustrating.
He gathered two squad leaders, both of whom were mid-tier fighters in the first stage, and wanted to break through a path.
Unfortunately, Grom has now reached level 7, with a 45% chance of a fatal blow, plus a 3-level invincible slash, and greatly enhanced overall attributes, allowing Grom to hold his own in a 1v2 situation.
The beastmen infantry behind Grom had several that had already reached level 3, roaring loudly, their muscles bulging, their eyes blood-red, going berserk and charging forward in a frenzy of slaughter, joining forces with Grom to take down the two mid-tier fighters.
Other soldiers, facing the ferocity of the beastmen, although fearful, had no choice but to continue charging under orders. They also harbored a thought in their minds: the enemy was only forty or fifty beastmen; with so many of them, couldn't they defeat the opponent?
But their corpses piled up higher and higher, already four or five hundred, yet not a single beastman soldier had fallen.
This is the effect that Xiao Yu wanted. Before defending the city, Xiao Yu had thought about how to make use of the beastmen's strong physique to achieve the greatest effect. He suddenly remembered a very famous movie from his previous life, "300 Spartans", where 300 people defended a narrow valley.
Although the city gate is wide, isn't it similar to a canyon? The combat power of the beastman infantry is absolutely no worse than that of the Spartan warriors. Moreover, there are archers supporting on the wall, so when the city gate opens, it's right in Xiao Yu's plan to let the beastman infantry guard the entrance and harvest lives to upgrade.
The city gate was so narrow that no matter how many troops the enemy had, they couldn't deploy them and could only fill in one by one, without any numerical advantage. How could ordinary human soldiers be a match for the beast tribe's infantry?
At this moment, suddenly, from above their heads, a fireball the size of a water bucket suddenly appeared in mid-air and slammed into the formation of the beastman soldiers.
Rumble...
A loud explosion sounded, and several beastman infantry were instantly blown away.
Magician.
Everyone reacted immediately, and the soldiers on Karu's side cheered up. With the help of the magician, they could easily break through these beastman soldiers. The magician just needed to cast a few more spells to blow all these beastman soldiers to death.
Beastman infantry is strong and unbeatable in physical attacks, but has no significant resistance to magic compared to ordinary human soldiers.
At this time on the city wall, Xiao Yu saw this scene, but his eyes were cold, and he snapped his fingers at Tairand beside him, saying: "Get rid of that magician. Fifty beastmen infantry go down, fifty archers go down."
At this time, because the city gate was wide open, many soldiers changed to attack the city gate and no longer climbed the cloud ladder. So, Xiao Yu also withdrew some soldiers in a timely manner to help below. Leaving 100 beastmen infantry, 150 elven archers, coordinating with the Lion King's original 400 soldiers, guarding the city head should not be a problem.
Rumble...
The magician threw another fireball, and with a loud explosion, several beastman soldiers were blown away again. The formation was somewhat chaotic, and many of Kalu's soldiers took the opportunity to charge forward.
In an instant, a chaotic battle began, and the defensive gap in the city gate originally filled with beastman soldiers appeared.
The beastman soldiers were brave, but there were too many of them. In fact, the main reason was the appearance of that magician, who used magic to disrupt the formation of the beastman soldiers, making it impossible for them to defend in a formation again.
That's the great role of the magician on the battlefield.
Teland on the city wall received Xiao Yu's command, and a purple light also flashed in his eyes. He immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow, which was shot towards the place where the magician was.
A perfect arc streaked across the sky, like a falling meteor, with a loud crash, the scorching arrow, although not as powerful as magic, still shot the soldier holding a tower shield next to the magician and exploded.
He shot down the soldier, and Theland immediately drew his bow again, intending to shoot the wizard. But a wizard's guard immediately filled in again, holding up a thick tower shield, blocking Theland's arrow.
The magician was also startled by the arrow of Tyrande, as magicians were originally most afraid of powerful archers. He did not expect that the opponent would have such a powerful archer who could shoot arrows so far and even possess magical arrows that could explode a shield-bearing guard.
However, the wizard did not retreat and instead quickly chanted magic, throwing several explosive fireballs into the city gate, blasting the beastman soldiers back repeatedly.
He believed that the other side would definitely not have too many such archers, with several layers of guards to protect him, and he also pressed a magic shield on his body, he should be safe.
But he underestimated Theland's strength.
Tyrande has not only Starfall but also Hawk Eye.
Tairand's first attack was unsuccessful, his brow furrowed slightly as he pondered, preparing the next scorching arrow.
Those shield towers are extremely sturdy and can only be shot down with scorching arrows, ordinary feathered arrows cannot penetrate them. The cooldown time for scorching arrows is 10 seconds, she has to wait until the next shot.
Soon, the cooling of the scorching arrow ended, and Tyrande drew her bow again. Another fire arrow whizzed out, and a shield-bearing guard was instantly shot to pieces. Immediately afterwards, Tyrande drew her bow once more, this time taking advantage of the brief window when the next guard came up without being tightly protected, shooting another arrow.
Whoosh...
The arrow shot out a perfect arc, just through the gap between the two tower shields and into the magician's body with a thud.
Ah...
The magician let out a miserable cry, and the magic he was about to cast was immediately abandoned. Although protected by a magical shield, Theland's strong arrow still pierced the magical shield and shot into his arm.
"Retreat, retreat!" The magician was startled, covering his arm, and immediately summoned the guards to withdraw.
A wizard's life is precious, and dying here isn't worth it. He was just a man hired by Caru's father for money, not worth risking his life.
They didn't say that each other had an archer with such a long range beforehand, this is simply the archer's nemesis.
Watching the magician retreat, Xiao Yu felt a slight sense of regret. Talrand's attack power was still a bit weak. Once he had money and merit points, no matter what, he would upgrade Talrand's bow to level one.
If Tyrande had taken the upgraded bow now, the mage would have been killed directly.
With the wizard's threat neutralized, the beastman soldiers reformed their ranks and reinforcements from the castle walls arrived, with fifty new beastmen infantry rushing forward to replace the initial fifty, while fifty elven archers began firing in support of the beastmen infantry.
In an instant, the Karu army, which was about to break through the city gate, suffered heavy casualties, and more than a thousand soldiers' bodies piled up at the city gate.
Up until now, Karu's army has lost nearly three thousand people.
