When the first group of soldiers began to climb the mountain with their shields raised, Erean couldn't help but click his tongue. He already could see all those bolts killing less than fifty enemy soldiers, but despite that, he gave the order.
"Fire!" Erean shouted.
Zaos and the others made bolts rain down on the enemy soldiers. Still, just as expected, few of the projectiles were causing any real damage. The vast majority were just hitting the shields.
"We are wasting our time here, Captain," Zaos said. "We need to go there and make the enemies lose their defense and focus on us. If we carry some of the crossbows, they will be forced to choose between being hit from above or being hit by the front."
