Chapter 51: A bit troublesome, but not a big problem 《Seeking Flowers!!!》

Even though he was very wary of the powerful strength Su Li had displayed, when the two rows of the formation were set, the one-eyed giant revealed a victor's smile and finally said ferociously: "My lord, wouldn't it have been better to just take the money and leave? Why force this leader to lose his temper?"

"I'll give you one last chance. Either kneel and beg for mercy, and perhaps I'll spare your life!"

Su Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

To be honest, this bandit leader had some substance; he had actually specifically trained dozens of short crossbowmen.

Short crossbowmen are a branch of advanced troop types from longbowmen, possessing powerful lethality while also being capable of rapid fire, especially effective against experts.

Even though the dozens of short crossbowmen before him were only using ordinary crossbow bolts, once a curtain of arrows was formed, even someone wearing armor could easily be shot into a sieve.

However, fortunately.

His Blade Arts skill had reached the Advanced tier, and he had mastered Blade Qi. As long as he unleashed a blade glow to deflect most of the crossbow bolts, combined with the durability of the Blood Cavalry itself, these short crossbowmen were nothing to fear.

If he didn't have Advanced Blade Arts... no Blade Qi, no Blood Cavalry profession, even with over fifty points of Force, facing so many short crossbowmen, along with the bandit leader eyeing him from the side, Su Li would probably have had to retreat for the time being.

Although it was a bit troublesome.

But... it was not a big problem.

"Kneeling and begging for mercy—save those words for yourself."

Su Li's gaze turned cold; he gripped the refined iron long blade tightly and urged his Sweat-Blood Horse, preparing to charge.

"Hmph! Death is at your doorstep, yet you're still stubborn!"

"Brothers, give it to me! Shoot him to death!"

The one-eyed giant snorted coldly and immediately lowered his raised hand.

The group of short crossbowmen began to fire, and dozens of crossbow bolts instantly formed a curtain of arrows, crashing down with the sound of piercing through the air!

At the same time, Su Li gathered his Blade Qi as never before and slashed forward!

A black glow mixed with blood-red instantly exploded within the curtain of arrows!

Boom!

Accompanied by the sound of dense impacts.

Even though the blade glow destroyed most of the crossbow bolts, quite a few still landed on him, blocked by his blood-red heavy armor.

With the heavy armor inherent to the Blood Cavalry protecting him, these crossbow bolts could not harm Su Li, but they could greatly hinder the progress of his charge!

One round of the arrow curtain ended, and before Su Li could advance, the second round of the arrow curtain was already attacking again!

These crossbow bolts could hardly cause him any harm, but they were like mosquitoes in summer, annoying him to no end!

Just as Su Li was preparing to rely on the characteristics of the Blood Cavalry to force his way through the arrow curtain in one go.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind him!

"Longbowmen, ready!"

"Target: enemy crossbow array..."

Looking in the direction the voice came from, Su Li saw the twenty advanced troop types he had brought, including Zhang Qiang.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Qiang and seven of the blade-shield soldiers had covered twelve longbowmen as they killed their way into the stronghold, climbed along the surrounding buildings, and occupied a high vantage point.

Seeing Su Li's gaze, Zhang Qiang called out: "Lord, we've come to help you!"

After the greeting, he immediately made a decisive choice.

"Brothers, cover the Lord! Target: enemy short crossbow array... Fire!"

As Zhang Qiang's words fell, the twelve longbowmen drew their bows and nocked arrows simultaneously, and then twelve arrows flew over Su Li's head, shooting into the enemy's short crossbow array.

Compared to the enemy, the twelve longbowmen Su Li brought were pitifully few.

Even if they occupied the high vantage point, they could not be a match for the short crossbowmen on the other side, who were several times more numerous.

However...

Their goal was never to wipe out the short crossbowmen on the other side!

It was only to disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's short crossbow array, prevent the enemy from firing continuously, and create a breakthrough for Su Li, allowing him to charge into the enemy formation without restraint!

Twelve arrows pierced into the short crossbow array, and ten enemies were hit on the spot and fell to the ground.

The entire short crossbow array fell into chaos.

The continuous curtain of arrows also stalled.

"Now is the time!"

Silently giving Zhang Qiang and the others a thumbs-up in his heart, Su Li launched his charge again.

With 54 points of Force combined with the full operation of the Blood Cavalry's characteristics, Su Li was now like a blood-red war chariot speeding forward, unstoppable!

With every step he took, he could cover several meters, and with every second that passed, the distance between him and the enemy formation shortened by a segment!

At this speed, it would take only a few seconds for him to cross the distance between him and the enemy and forcefully kill his way into the enemy crowd!

"Damn it!"

"Keep firing! Don't stop!"

"Short crossbowmen, arrow curtain suppression! Suppress them!"

The one-eyed giant's angry and anxious roar echoed within the stronghold.

The closer Su Li got to them, the more panicked he became.

He truly had no confidence in defeating this god of slaughter at close range.

Not even with the twenty elite bandit profession 【Fierce Bandits】 by his side!

Unfortunately.

The longbowmen occupying the high vantage point kept harassing the short crossbow array.

The short crossbowmen in the array were constantly being whittled down, and their numbers were getting smaller and smaller!

"Split off a portion of the men to fight back!"

"The rest of you, split into two teams and surround and kill this person for me!" ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
