Chapter 985
985 The terrifying weapon of the alien demonic race
Bargov, who was in deep thought, was also shocked by the sudden gunshot. He reflexively searched for traces of the enemy in order to carry out an effective counterattack.
Unfortunately, there were no suspicious traces around, and he didn’t know where the attacker was hiding.
Damn Scouts, they actually didn’t find any traces of the enemy. They should be punished!
stop advancing. Stay on guard!
With bargov’s order, the advancing troops immediately turned to face the two sides of the road and lined up their shields in order to form a shield wall.
The soldiers at the back also quickly moved forward and built another shield on top of the existing shield wall, thus forming a simple defensive position that could block the rain of arrows.
Other than a portion of the Warriors who were protected by the shield wall with their Spears on the shield wall, the rest were half-squatting on the ground with their swords unsheathed. Their bodies were tense as they observed their surroundings.
The archers and crossbowmen were ready to counterattack if they were ambushed.
“Let’s take a look at the front!”
Under the protection of a group of guards, balguv jumped off his warhorse and walked to the front of the team. He quickly saw the dozen soldiers with injured legs.
They were all lying within the boundary of the stone tablet, their faces filled with pain. Some of them were even crawling towards the team with all their might.
The two soldiers saw this and immediately rushed over, trying to help their companion up.
However, just as the two soldiers crossed the boundary of the stone tablet, two more crisp sounds were heard. Then, two blood spurted out from the legs of the two soldiers, and they fell to the ground with a scream!
After seeing this scene, balguv’s eyes narrowed slightly. He hid behind the shield wall formed by guards and stared at the forest in front of him.
Although the attack was extremely fast, he could vaguely see a trace and confirmed that the attacker was hiding in the forest ahead.
The other party’s intentions were obvious. Just like what was written on the stone tablet, no outsiders were allowed to enter, or they would be severely punished!
It was obvious that these soldiers had violated the warning on the stone tablet and crossed the boundary, which was why they were attacked.
They didn’t shoot him directly, so it was obviously a warning.
This strange and sharp weapon made bargov think of the content mentioned in the previous intelligence report, and he could not help but be afraid.
However, in this case, bargof absolutely could not show weakness. Otherwise, if the morale of the Army was damaged, it would be better to just return home.
Furthermore, he had a reason to eliminate the heavenly demon race. No matter how strong they were, he had to try!
“The few of you, hold your shields and go to the front!”
Out of careful consideration, balguv did not order the soldiers to advance by force, but instead ordered the soldiers to probe.
The soldiers who were called out looked at each other. Although there was a trace of fear in their eyes, they immediately raised the shields covered with animal skin in their hands and tried to cover their bodies as much as possible while carefully moving forward.
These soldiers did not dare to disobey bargov’s orders, so they could only force themselves to move forward.
However, when their bodies crossed the invisible boundary, the expected gunshot sounded again. Then, under everyone’s gaze, the hardwood skin shield that could withstand heavy arrows was directly shattered.
The soldiers hiding behind the shields weren’t so lucky this time. Because they were lowered, their heads and chests became the targets. The bullets pierced through their shields and then through their bodies.
A large amount of blood spurted out from their backs and heads, and terrifying bloody holes appeared on the back of these soldiers ‘bodies. Their bodies limply fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the soldiers of Snow City immediately became restless, and bargov’s expression changed.
The power of the weapons of the otherworldly demonic tribe was actually so powerful!
At the thought that he was exposed to the range of such a terrifying weapon, bargof felt his heart tremble. He glanced at the shields raised by the guards around him, as if he felt that it was not safe.
“All troops, retreat two hundred meters.”
As soon as the order was given, the troops immediately retreated like flowing water.
When the team stopped, bargof subconsciously took a few steps back to hide behind the crowd.
Immediately after, a group of soldiers raised their shields and formed a semi-circular shield wall in front of him.
Bargov felt a little more at ease, and at the same time, he issued orders.
More than a dozen cultivators who were good at using bows and arrows were quickly mobilized. They stuck sharp awl-head arrows out through the gaps in the shields.
Under the sunlight, the arrows glowed with a faint light. It was obvious that they were enchanted.
“The few of you, put on your metal shields and try again!”
Bargof wanted to test the power of this weapon so that he wouldn’t be caught off guard once the battle started.
However, judging from the current situation, this kind of weapon was extremely lethal, enough to pose a fatal threat to ordinary soldiers.
Ordinary wooden shields and leather armors worn by soldiers could not withstand the attack of such weapons at all!
If the otherworldly demons had a large number of similar weapons, then once this battle occurred, bargof’s soldiers would definitely suffer heavy casualties!
This was not an outcome that bargov wanted to see.
The few soldiers who were pointed out were already holding their metal shields in fear. Under the watchful eyes of the people behind them, they slowly moved forward.
Most of the soldiers who were shot in the legs had already crawled back. Only a few were still lying in a pool of blood. They seemed to have fainted from the excessive bleeding and looked like they were in danger.
The bodies of the soldiers who had been shot were also lying on the blood-soaked grass, staring at them with lifeless eyes.
The soldiers ‘legs trembled in fear, but they didn’t dare to retreat, because a few of the sharp arrows were also aimed at their backs.
If they disobeyed the order and retreated, they would definitely die. However, if they advanced, they might be able to survive. After all, they were holding metal shields in their hands. They should be able to block the attacks of those strange weapons!
With this in mind, their confidence also increased a bit, and they finally stepped into the land behind the stone tablet.
At that moment, everyone’s eyes were wide open as they stared at the soldiers.
“Bang!”
The chilling sound was heard again, but it was much more muffled than the first two times.
At the same time, the sound of the metal shield being hit by a heavy blow rang out. At the same time, the bodies of the soldiers stiffened and suddenly sprayed out a large bloody mist mixed with blood, flesh, and broken bones, completely blocking everyone’s vision.
It turned out that even a metal shield could not withstand the attack of this strange weapon!
“Whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh!”
At the same time that the soldiers were hit, a dozen enchanted arrows flew out and headed straight for the dense forest.
These enchanted arrows could travel a long distance and had amazing penetrating power. Under the control of the native cultivators, they could also penetrate metal shields!
The only regret was that the cost of this weapon was too high, and only the native cultivators could afford to use it!
The native cultivators, who had been waiting for a long time, had locked onto the position of the sound and launched their attack without hesitation the moment the gunshot was heard.
continue to shoot and suppress the enemy’s attacks. You guys charge forward and get their weapons!
Shock and greed flashed in bargof’s eyes. He had already developed a coveting desire for such a sharp weapon.
If he could get his hands on such a weapon and mass-produce it, he would not be afraid even if an Alliance of other forces came!
With this weapon, he could even conquer the surrounding provinces, or even the entire timriel continent. It was not impossible!
At that time, he would be the king of the entire continent, and everyone would submit to his rule.
Therefore, even if he had to pay some casualties, he had to get his hands on this weapon!
