Chapter 2022: Quick Battle (8)

The battlefield was a mess of devastation.

The wolf pack was scattered in pieces, dispersed everywhere.

Like a typhoon had passed through.

This time, the combined power of the Sky-Piercing Arrows and the Shock Arrows had been unleashed to the fullest.

Eight hundred wolfmen exploded!

Among them were quite a few high-rank wolfmen.

Another two hundred were wolfmen responsible for healing.

And out of the entire wolf pack, only two hundred and fifty were healers.

After all, Iwata Hirota's regular army only numbered twenty-five hundred, so having two hundred and fifty wolf healers was already quite a lot.

The remaining fifty healing wolfmen could be ignored — their spiritual power was limited, and there was no way they could heal so many of the remaining wolfmen.

"Fuck his mother…" Iwata Hirota spat out the mud in his mouth and climbed up from the ground once more.

A Sky-Piercing Arrow slammed hard into his left flank; the tremendous impact made him feel as if his five viscera and six bowels had been twisted together.

His stomach churned, and he violently vomited up half-digested elf meat.

The surrounding wolfmen were basically all in the same state.

Even the two Golden Body warriors were sprawled on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

The wolfmen felt no pain at this moment.

But the other sensations were still there.

Cold, heat, numbness, soreness — they could feel all of these, just not pain.

Of course they could also vomit.

Kitayama Rino had been hiding in the rear, hadn't been hit — very lucky.

Iwata Hirota spat out a mouthful of sour water.

Then he roared: "Oshima Nuo, use all your spiritual power to heal everyone immediately! Everyone else, keep charging for me — we're about to break through! Charge, all of you!"

"…"

"Oshima Nuo! Are you deaf?"

A timid voice came from the side.

"Lord Iwata… Oshima Nuo and Imagawa Ao are both dead. Fewer than fifty healers remain…"

"Dead!? Damn it…" Iwata Hirota bit down hard on his wolf fang and bellowed: "Ah ya ya ya ya ya! Charge in, tear them apart!!"

The wolfmen reformed their ranks and charged again.

Su Qin merely let out a humped little laugh.

"Alright, everyone retreat into the forest. On the way, fire freely — slow down the enemy's advance!"

"Yes!"

The elves' arms were swollen and aching.

But ordinary shooting was still manageable.

The power was certainly much weaker, but it could still disrupt the wolfmen's charge.

Swish swish swish swish!

Twelve hundred bows fired without pause, arrows shooting out wildly; the wolfmen twisted left and right, dodging the arrows.

But the Flowing Light Wind-Chasing Arrows flew too fast — it was very hard for them to dodge easily.

"It's fine, don't dodge, this kind of ordinary arrow… Ouch, holy shit!"

One wolfman was sent flying.

"What's going on? Isn't this an ordinary arrow? How did you fly ahhhh!"

Another wolfman was sent flying.

"Aoo—"

"Ouch—"

Within the charging formation, wolfmen kept flying out, falling, and crashing into the ones behind.

A ferociously unstoppable mass charge actually couldn't get going at all.

Even the strongest Golden Body warriors were blasted stumbling backward step after step — not being sent flying was already considered quite good.

The current arrows really did carry very little power.

They couldn't compare to the Sky-Piercing Arrows at all.

However, Shock Arrows didn't put much strain on the arms, so they could still be used now.

Ordinary rank 1–2 wolfmen would go flying when hit.

Some were even knocked unconscious.

Rank 3–4 ones, due to their body size, could only be knocked down.

And rank 5–6 ones could only be pushed back slightly.

But that was enough.

When you're charging at full strength, getting stopped — or even pushed back — every now and then…

How the hell are you supposed to charge?

Not only that.

Although these arrows were quite ordinary in power, they still carried conventional lethality.

Of course they had little effect on wolfman soldiers, but for those wolfman craftsmen and civilians, they were still considerably powerful.

Ordinary wolfmen kept being shot dead, already numbering in the hundreds.

"Dammit… that arrow is too weird, everyone scatter and charge! Don't bunch up too tightly!" Iwata Hirota barely dodged an arrow.

Kitayama Rino furrowed her brow tightly: "How about… we gather all our elites and make one charge to try it? I'll use a lightning-element spiritual technique to buff everyone. As long as we can break through, those elves will be taken out in an instant."

Iwata Hirota shook his head: "No good… we can't break through. Right now, with so many of us charging, the enemy can only fire scattered shots. If we concentrate our elites into one group to charge over there, they'll instead have a clear target and fire concentrated volleys. When that happens, all our elites will be wiped out."

"True… this is really tough… Iwata Hirota, you damned bastard, you've really dragged me into a pit of fire."

"…I had no choice either."

"Enough talk, keep charging. The good thing is these arrows don't have much power… bear with it, charge!"

"Mm…"

Another several hundred ordinary werewolves were shot down.

Su Qin quickly opened the system.

The group chat already had many unread messages.

Su Qin browsed through them briefly.
