Chapter 45
The Cold Cone Spell from the Archmage was useless in attacking heavy infantry but the light infantry did not have the strong armor to withstand the attack. It didn't take long before the golden light lit up and encircled the Archmage's body. Antonidas has reached level 8.
"It's so good." Xiao Yu added new skill points to the Archmage Ice Barrier, which reached the maximum 3— level. The Archmage's main role in this battle was to protect himself while killing as many enemies as possible so that Xiao Yu distributed the corresponding skill points.
At the same time, Tyrande fired a Searing Arrows that hit two soldiers with shields that wanted to break through the city gates.
“First shooter group. Notice the direction of Searing Arrows and shoot!” Xiao Yu ordered. Tyrande's Searing Arrows are fired at enemy witches protected by heavy infantry.
Xiao Yu had ordered Tyrande not to investigate the killing of ordinary enemy soldiers but to use his Eagle Eye skill to find the position of the enemy magician. Then, he would use the Searing Arrows to attack the infantry warriors protecting the mage. The shooters will know where their target is due to the burning arrows. In addition, Tyrande had another task: to kill enemy soldiers. His shot was so precise that he could accurately kill the enemy soldiers hiding among the crowd. This way he helps the grunts.
Grunts fought a bit to fight the enemy warriors. Tyrande's help was very important to them. Nevertheless, Xiao Yu had taught grunts a solution to deal with the enemy soldiers. Four or five grunts would swing their giant axes at the body of a warrior. This way the soldiers had to dodge and the distance they had to travel to move would be reduced a lot. It was a tactic that Xiao Yu had used in his previous life to kill enemy heroes. Even though the soldiers were strong, they could not resist the 4 or 5 axes that hit them. In this way, there would always be an opportunity for grunts to kill that soldier.
The main advantage of the grunts was their tyrannical power. They did not have good martial arts skills but the explosive power they could produce was enough to kill the fighters. In comparison, the fighters possessed outstanding martial arts, flexible bodies, and many other advantages that the grunts lacked.
A rank 1 warrior was basically the same as a level 9 character of the game system. Second rank warriors were level 10 or more in battle effectiveness. Grom was able to kill a second rank warrior when he was at level 9 due to his body strength and many powerful skills.
Bang~ Bang~
Bullets shot past and hit the infantry with shields protecting the enemy witches.
Bang~
Tyrande once again fired the Searing Arrows. Two soldiers by the mage fell down, exposing a large gap. The bullet fired by the shooter passed through the gap and hit the body of the mage.
Magicians covered their bodies with magic shield spells, but the shield could not withstand the intensive shots fired by the shooter.
the 100 shooters would usually shoot at will unless Xiao Yu ordered them to confront the enemy magician.
…
…
At the same time, countless light and heavy infantry had come to the city gates. They had ignored their formation and rushed to the gate scrambling over. Their purpose is glory, wealth, and beauty.
A formation was useless so the commander let them act as the infantry felt right. Commander Carrie was not a fool and knew that if the infantry troops attacked randomly, the effects of the Glaive Thrower would be minimized.
Chi~ Chi~ Chi~
The first two Glaive Throwers fired their blades. Dozens of soldiers who tried to enter through the gate were cut in half. Light infantry were much more of an easy target for swords compared to heavy infantry.
His blade cut through 20 rows of light infantry soldiers and did not spare anyone within 50 meters.
AHH~~
Screams echoed as many of Carrie's soldiers were frightened. They remained silent outside the gate while their minds were confused. At the same time the second row of Glaive Throwers made a shot.
Chi~ Chi~ Chi~
The rest inside the gate was cut in half.
Indeed, the trajectory of the blades is stable. If a flexible warrior could jump past from the side then they would be able to pass through the sword thrown from the Glaive Thrower. At the end of the day, the angle of the blade is fixed.
The Glaive Throwers were effective when dealing with crowds. However, their efficiency was reduced a lot when only a few warriors rushed past.
Some soldiers heard the commanding officer's orders. They ran past and jumped over the wall to attack quickly.
Chi~ Chi~
The Glaive Thrower once again shot out a sword. However, this time most of the soldiers were able to dodge the sword. Only one soldier was hit and cut into two while the other soldier was able to pass through.
Argh~
a roar echoed at the city gate. Dust fell from the roof of the gate. Grom rushed out using Wind Walk and Omnislash. He sliced a soldier straight in two.
Grom was level 10 and had strength equivalent to a second rank warrior cultivating battle energy (dao qi). It was easy for him to kill a first-rate warrior.
Moreover, some other warriors could rush towards the Glaive Thrower. The growl stopped them but at the same time the fighters were able to stop the launch of the Glaive Pitcher.
The commander saw the opportunity and shouted: “Quick! The Glaive Thrower won't launch any swords!”
Countless soldiers rushed to the city gate.
However, when they were almost in front of the Glaive Thrower, the two grunts once again launched their swords. Commander issued another command: “Don't stop! As long as we block the front, they won't be able to use it!”
Soldiers swarmed as if they were ants. In the blink of an eye, the entire gate was filled with enemy soldiers. At the same time, the soldiers interrupted the grunts who were trying to use the Glaive Thrower. The role of the Glaive Thrower was so reduced that Grom ordered a grunt to bring back the machine.
Argh~~
Grom let out another roar and his body started to spin and move forward.
Ah~ Ah~
Countless soldiers were cut in two by Grom.
Whirlwind!
This was a skill that the Blademasters had mastered after reaching level 10. Grom Execution of this skill was only at level 1 but it was extremely powerful. It was a skill best suited for large-scale close-quarters combat.
Xiao Yu was looking forward to seeing the Bladestorm skill appear after Grom leveled up. He believed that Bladestorm would be much stronger than the Quail Wind and that Grom would be able to sweep through the battlefield with that skill.
Grom was wearing T1 armor so the sword of the enemy was not a problem for him. He was an unstoppable tiger than the one investigating the flock.
Xiao Yu saw that the Glaive Thrower had lost its effect. He shouted: “Grom pushed the enemy out of the city gate. The defensive line will be outside!”
In the first wave of attacks, the grunts remained inside the city causing many casualties. This time, Xiao Yu planned to change tactics and push the enemy outside the city gates.
Grom heard Xiao Yu's orders and waved towards the grunts to follow up. Grunts roared as their eyes began to redden as the berserker skill activated.
