Scant crossbow arrows pierced through the air, missing their mark; Li's heart couldn't help but race as she felt the whoosh above her head.
Just a moment ago, she was mere inches away from the end of her life.
However, Li's mental fortitude was exceptionally strong; after taking a deep breath to compose herself, she climbed up again decisively.
This time, other soldiers from the Bay Domain were gradually making their way over.
They exhibited exceptional coordination; the first to climb over the railing were the robust Shield Soldiers.
They slammed their hefty steel shields down onto the railing, their tall bodies braced behind them, forming a tidy line as they surged towards the direction from which the crossbow bolts flew.
Following the example of her comrades, Li, having climbed aboard, took cover behind the Shield-Bearing Soldiers.
She picked up the crossbow that was strapped to her waist, sensed the direction of danger without looking, and fired directly.
Whoosh!
