Chapter 231: The Power of the Entire School of Bowmen

The turbulent subterranean river was flowing.

On the left side of the tunnel that was sunken into the ground, there was a flat stone road that was nearly 10 meters wide.

The golden light from the ruins shone in.

One could vaguely see that the stone wall on the left side of the stone road was carved with a human-shaped relief sculpture.

If one looked carefully, they would find that it was an ancient warrior who was holding a weapon and wearing armor. The sculpture was solemn and stood with the former might and glory, guarding this ancient passage.

It was simply a stunning architectural masterpiece.

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was also visually shocked by this ancient passage full of reliefs.

It was the architectural style of the age of the gods.

Moreover, it was closely related to the lost city. If one were to look closely at the lifelike reliefs of the ancient warriors and the mysterious patterns on the armor, one would discover that this was the most common sacred sun pattern on the golden disc.

Combining this ruin with the ruins of the first building found on the top of the mountain, Kant could conclude that this ancient passage and the ruins were from the same era. It was an integrated building; even this underground river was probably once part of this grand building!

“What a great masterpiece.”

Kant sighed.

He did not know why the lost city would build such a magnificent and incredible building.

However, it did not stop him from appreciating the superb level of architecture that originated from the mythological era.

Even the Dukedom of Leo or the powerful empire that Caradia had never had before did not have the ability to hollow out the mountain or even the underground to build such a huge building along the subterranean river.

This was unrealistic.

It was even more useless to any power or country.

Yet, it just happened to appear before Kant’s eyes!

“Prepare for battle!”

Bandake’s voice rang out.

Kant’s contemplation and shock were interrupted. He looked into the ancient passage. The darkness seemed to have solidified into an endless void, as if it had existed since the era of the ancient gods.

However, the soldiers behind him were not shocked at all. Instead, they held their weapons tightly and were ready for battle.

Because evil was entrenched in the darkness.

Rhodoks’s sniper crossbowmen held their siege crossbows, while the Ravenston Rangers and Rangers held their heavy bows. They all looked indifferently into the depths of the ancient passage. Countless dark green eyes with a hint of scarlet had already appeared.

They were demonized creatures!

They slowly crept over in the darkness.

Their green eyes were dyed with a scarlet malevolence and a murderous intent.

It was indeed time to prepare for battle.

Even the seven mage apprentices who followed closely behind Kant held their magic staffs tightly in their hands. The front end was aimed at the interior of the ancient passage. All of them nervously swallowed their saliva, and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

Not counting the teaching battles when they were studying, this battle was still their first actual battle.

Kant shook his head slightly.

He did not say anything.

Kant did not include these wizard apprentices in the current battle sequence in his heart.

It was good that they could come and gain experience.

The battle was up to fate.

Kant needed them to quickly become wizards. They had qualified for destruction spells and summoning spells. They could bring stronger and more status-type spells to the troops. That was when the wizard troops would be of use!

Not Now.

After pondering for a moment, Kant waved his hand and shouted, “Everyone, fire at will!”

“Fire at will!”

The captain who was waiting immediately repeated the order.

However, in the firing formation formed by 87 archers and 40 crossbowmen, they had already released their bowstrings or pulled the trigger. The arrows and steel crossbows that were ready in their hands were instantly shot out.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh –”

The sound of air being torn apart could be heard.

The Arrows tore through space, and the steel bolts pierced through the air.

From the estimates of these elite archers, the distance between the two sides was only 100 meters. If they wanted to ignore their existence within such a short distance, it was no different from lying to themselves!

“Awoooo –”

Pairs of scarlet eyes were instantly extinguished.

Miserable howls immediately sounded from the ancient passage. After being amplified by the Echo, it made one’s eardrums tremble.

However, the Archers’s formation beside Kant stood still.

The Ravenston Rangers, the Ravenston guards, and the high-level archers from the Ravenston Kingdom shot out cone-shaped arrows with their exquisite shooting frequency that was like a semi-automatic rifle.

Their shooting had its own rhythm.

It was almost as if they were at ease!

The snipers from the Kingdom of Rhodoks, on the other hand, appeared much rougher. Thanks to the extremely strong attack power of the weapons in their hands, no matter how many enemies there were, they were still fearless in the face of danger.

The city-breaking crossbow, which was much larger than ordinary crossbows, was tightly wound and hung with a sturdy and heavy steel crossbow. After aiming at the target, they pulled the trigger and then quietly waited for the scarlet eyes of the target in the distance to suddenly explode and extinguish, after finishing the shooting, they continued to bend down and hang the steel crossbow again.

With their terrifying attack power, they didn’t need any rhythm.

Because the enemies who dared to block their city-attacking crossbows and steel crossbows were already dead!

How could the steel crossbows and city-attacking crossbows, which could even penetrate the steel shields, be blocked by the skulls? After penetrating the eye sockets, they even pierced the back of the head. They still carried a strong killing power and heavily injured the demonized creatures behind them!

“Ha, ridiculous.”

Kant looked at the rapidly extinguished scarlet eyes in the ancient passage.

The miserable howls in his ears were like moving musical notes.

He slightly narrowed his eyes, but more and more scarlet eyes surged out in the deeper darkness like heroic warriors who used their own lives and bodies to block the arrows coming from the front, opening a bloody path for their companions behind them!

The demonized creatures did not know fear. They might be cunning, but they did not know what fear was.

They could do it one after another.

However, it was indeed laughable in Kant’s eyes. “What’s the difference between this and suicide?”

The whooshing sound of arrows tearing through the void continued. The bowstring vibrated with a buzzing sound, and endless torrential rain poured out in the straight ancient passage.

However, this torrential rain did not bring rain that drenched one’s entire body. Instead, it brought an arrow that could be nailed to one’s body and could be fatal!

This was the call of the Grim Reaper!

Behind him, Bandake’s solemn face became relaxed.

With such a dense scale of long-range attacks, they had already blocked the ambush of the demonized creatures.

They did not even need to engage in close combat!

The soldiers of Rhodoks and the proficient spear-wielders of Rhodoks, who were ready to fight, stared blankly at the 127 high-level archers who were easily slaughtering the demonized creatures in the ancient passage.

The wails were incessant, even covering the sound of the river flowing.

An extremely dense smell of blood pervaded the air.

Those originally dense scarlet eyes that were moving forward one after another had already disappeared in just a few minutes.

Only a frozen darkness remained.

“This… this…” Bandake gulped. Although he understood the might of Rhodoks’s sniper crossbowmen and had seen the archery skills of the Ravenston Rangers and the forest patrollers, now that the two of them had formed an advantage in numbers, they were able to resolve the battle so quickly. It made him surprised in his heart.

He himself was also a crossbowman. Now that he had come to the village of the Kingdom of Rhodoks, he had also used a siege crossbow. However, he really did not expect that this battle would end so easily.

“This is very normal.”

Kant spoke with a calm tone, because he had already expected it.

This was the nature of an all-bow attack.

In riding and hacking, the all-bow attack was one of the well-known troop class.

With the combination of Vaegir marksman and Rhodoks’s sniper crossbowmen, they formed an advantage in numbers and formed a long line of shooting formation. When the non-heavy cavalry troops faced them, they would be shot like hedgehogs by the rain of arrows that covered the sky and earth, they would not even have the right to approach and would all fall to the ground, turning into corpses on the ground.

Right now, the cooperation between the Ravenston Rangers, the Patrollers, and the sniper crossbowmen was so strong.

“Umph.” The mage apprentices subconsciously gulped.

They looked at each other.

They all noticed the fear in each other’s eyes.

They sheepishly put away their magic staffs. Just based on their casting distance, they could not compare to these crossbowmen. Moreover, in terms of firing speed, they had to chant spells and prepare to communicate with the rules. The attack interval was even longer than that of the sniper crossbowmen.

As for the power, it was a matter of opinion.

In any case, these mage apprentices did not have any thoughts of comparing.

“Howl –”

But before Fatis and Bandake could continue to exchange a few more words, the sudden howl of a wolf appeared.

In the ancient passage, a faint green light appeared.

It could be vaguely seen that it appeared in the deeper part of the passage. At the same time, there were low growls reverberating in the air. The low growls were deep and heavy, but they were not wolf howls. Clearly, there were traces of demonized black bears and demonized lions outside the demonized wolf pack!

“They… are here again!”

Bandake tightened his grip on the siege crossbow in his hand and took out his steel crossbow to reinstall it.

However, his tone was quite solemn, he reported to Kant, “Lord, according to reason, after the end of the wave of attacks, they should rest for at least half an hour or a few hours. How could it be that another wave of demonized creatures has appeared? This is too unusual!”

“How could they possibly discuss with us?”

Kant chuckled.

But his eyes flashed with a cold light. “Everyone, continue to prepare to fire!”

The interval between the attacks was getting shorter and shorter.

Kant also had doubts and misgivings in his heart, but he was not afraid.

With his own soldiers in formation, so what if there were a large number of demonized creatures?

Based on the battle just now, more than 20 of Rhodoks’s 200 skilled spear-wielders could level up to Rhodoks’s experienced spear-wielders. If they experienced it a few more times, they would probably all be able to level up to wear chain armor, a Level 4 elite veteran infantryman with a machete!

Kant was not afraid of the wheel, not even the continuous wave of impact, as long as he can fight so that his troop class can gain experience.

If worst comes to worst, he could use battle to nourish the battle!

If one of the seven wizard apprentices leveled up to a wizard, then according to Kant’s understanding.

The ownership of this ancient passage would be completely stabilized!

“Fire!”

Facing the low roar, Kant ordered.

The bowstring vibrated.
