Chapter 425 - Shocking Arrows

Frank Ribry didn't have a great background, and he was able to climb up this high on the ladder and become the head commander of the military forces in the city because of his talent. He was a unique person; he had quite a few loyal followings, and this troop that had been ignored and got its remuneration deducted for no reason was still able to keep up this level of morale and combat ability. Fei had to give props to Ribry for this.

"There is no need for now. [Earth's Protection] would cost too much of the magic energy reservoir of the city. We need to keep it for the critical moments," Fei answered Gago with a smile on his face.

Gago only dared to talk to Fei after he got his courage up.

After seeing the miraculous show this No.1 Commander put on two hours ago, he and his comrades were already conquered by Fei's strength. The Azeroth Continent had an emphasis on combat ability, and the master warriors and mages were more likely to be admired by a lot of people. Especially after Fei saved Ribry from all the enemies, he was respected and looked up to by all these commanders who were like Ribry's brothers.

After seeing that Fei was very friendly and not haughty like the other high-up officials from Zenit, the commanders in Dual-Flags City had an even better impression of Fei.

Gago got more comfortable speaking to Fei after he saw this No.1 Commander who was supposed to be prestigious smile at him. He thought about it and suggested again, "Sir, if we don't initiate [Earth's Protection, the catapults will do a ton of damage to the structures and the people in the city..."

Fei patted this commander's shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm here."

After he said that, he took out that [Eagle of the Desert] Bow and switched to Amazon Mode. Instantly, his aura got wild and dominating, and he immediately turned a lot sharper.

The chilly wind of the desert blew on the king's face; his long black hair fluttered and added to his presence.

The commanders besides him who were initially worried all calmed down; their eyes lit up after seeing the subtle change of Fei's aura.

"Yeah! We forgot that the No.1 Commander is a terrific archer! He should be able to take down the catapults by just using the archery skill he demonstrated earlier."

Everyone including the ordinary soldiers was waiting for the No.1 Commander's arrows to do the trick.

"Crank... Crank..."

The atmosphere was intense, and everyone stopped making noises.

At this time, the cranking noises made by the springs and the gears on the catapults were heard clearly by everyone. The 20 catapults looked like huge Demon Beasts that had shown their fangs.

"Prepare..." a commander on the side of Jax shouted, "Ready... release!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rubber band-like material used on these catapults were actually the tendons of the Demon Beasts, and they suddenly started to contract rapidly after the operators of the catapults let go of the triggers. The swinging arms of the metal catapults accelerated under the pull, and ten rocks that weighed more than 1,000 pounds each flew into the air...

Under gravity and with momentum, these massive rocks would deal more than 10,000 pounds of force onto the defense wall that was strengthened by magic arrays. If these rocks hit Three-Star Warriors, these warriors would be instantly killed as well.

All the commanders and soldiers on the side of Zenit held their breaths after they saw the rocks in the air.

However, the 30 Saint Seiyas were behaving normally as if it was just another regular day; they were so calm and confident because of their young king who was standing beside them.

The huge rocks traveled more than 20 meters in the air in an instant, and they were going to strike onto the defense wall in just a few seconds.

As some of the soldiers of Zenit were about to scream, Fei finally shot out the arrows on the bow.

Whoosh!!!!!!

Whoosh!!!!!!

Whoosh!!!!!!

Whoosh!!!!!!

There wasn't just one arrow; there were ten arrows in total.

People around Fei could only see all the afterimages of his right arm as he moved too fast.

The bowstring of [Eagle of the Desert] vibrated violently, and air-piercing noises sounded alongside the ten consecutive booming noises. After that, the ground started to shake, and screams began to resonate in the area.

The huge rocks that just got into the air exploded, and they broke into pieces and landed right into the Swords and Shields Formation of Jax. Blood spilled everywhere, and Jax suffered casualties before the battle even started.

The ten huge rocks broke and fell into the formation.

No one on the side of Jax anticipated this outcome. The soldiers in the formation were cheering a second ago after they saw the rocks in the air, but they started to cry and scream in the next second after they got hit. Since they weren't charging forward, they were standing very close to one another. There was no way that they could get out of the way! The lucky soldiers got killed instantly, and the unlucky ones got their arms and legs broke; they were feeling an insane amount of pain, but they couldn't do anything other than scream and cry...

"King Alexander! King Alexander! King Alexander!"

"Long live the king of Chambord! Hail the King!"

Not sure who started it, but all the soldiers and commanders of Zenit on the defense wall began to cheer after a brief moment of silence. What happened really boosted the morale of the soldiers of Zenit! By using these ten huge rocks cleverly, Fei was able to eliminate more than 500 enemies!

Killing 500 with ten arrows!

Such terrifying numbers!

Such terrifying arrows!

The soldiers in Dual-Flags City who were facing a lot of pressure needed to see such a motivating scene and Fei was able to deliver!

On the side of Jax, they didn't expect that the best siege machines were used against them! The commanders of Jax were shocked and didn't know what to do.

"Continue? But what if that devil-like archer uses the same method again?"

"Stop? How are we going to siege the city?"

Prince Fairenton of Jax smiled bitterly on the sand hill.

The influence a top-tier warrior could have on a battle was demonstrated here today! Throughout the history of Azeroth, it was rare for a famous general to leave a mark in the book. Rather, people remembered the super powerful warriors and mages. The reason for this was that when a warrior or a mage got a certain degree of power, they could influence wars and even destroy an army using their strength; these people were the real rulers of the land.

Although Dual-Flags City was under siege, it was safe just by having the king of Chambord who was the most powerful warrior in the war. If Jax couldn't get a master warrior who could rival against him, Jax had to throw in 40,000 soldiers at least to tire the king of Chambord out first!

However, at the moment like this, Prince Fairenton couldn't back down.

"Pass my order! Tell the Swords and Shields Formation to separate in halves and moved to the sides of the catapults."

"Pass my order! Move the catapults back for 300 meters and continue the attack!"

"Pass my order! Tell the mages to prepare!"

"Pass my order! Tell the Suicide Squad to prepare!"

"Pass my order! Tell the Siege Squad to prepare!"

"Pass my order!..."

A series of commands were given out by this prince of Jax, and his army started to move and operate like a carefully calibrated machine. The murderous spirit of his army wasn't affected by that little incident; the death of 500 soldiers was nothing in front of the elite soldiers!

Soon, the 20 catapults were pulled back 300 meters, and the Swords and Shields Formation moved to the sides of the catapults. The soldiers of Jax were able to avoid being affected by Fei's arrows, but the catapults were only able to hit areas close to the defense wall of Dual-Flags City now.

Fei continued to shoot.

He didn't use the old trick; instead, he targeted the catapults themselves this time.

The catapults were about 1,300 meters away from the defense wall, and it was impossible for ordinary archers to reach them. However, it wasn't a difficult task for Fei who just got this [Eagle of the Desert]. He used all of the strength of the level 88 Barbarian, and the bow was pulled opened by him. Then, several transparent crystal-like arrows formed on the bow.

Fei released the bowstring.

Whoosh!

A sharp air-piercing noise sounded like the thunder.

Almost at the same time, a huge catapult got a few of its connection points broken apart, and it fell like Lego pieces. The soldiers of Jax who were operating this catapult were injured instantly.

Cheers sounded inside Dual-Flags City again. The soldiers chanted Fei's name as they worshipped him like a god. By using his strength, he suppressed the enemies' most lethal siege machines, and he almost placed Dual-Flags City in an invincible state.
