Chapter 309: You Dont Notice My Kindness? (3)
“Ahhh! A dragon!”
“Idiot! That’s not a dragon, it’s just a drake! You can kill it with arrows!”
When drakes suddenly screeched across the skies above Sefira land, the startled archers unleashed their arrows. But though the drakes looked close because of their size, the actual distance easily exceeded five hundred meters. Every Sefira archer was a sharpshooter, yet hitting drakes flying high overhead at blistering speed was no easy task.
“Stop! Even if you hit them at your skill level, you won’t pierce a drake’s hide!”
A Star Knight quickly took command of the soldiers, and a Holy Knight followed by aiming an arrow at the drakes. But upon spotting the Holy Knight, the drakes retreated far into the distance or climbed to even higher altitudes. This was a behavior no wild drake would ever display.
“The Royal Order of the Dragon... damn them!”
It was the second day of the war between Sefira and Crown Prince Rukan. The all-out battle everyone had feared and braced for never came. Instead, something far more insidious began. The royal army maintained its encirclement, slowly tightening the distance, while planting the Seeds of Hell.
Naturally, Sefira’s archers launched a preemptive strike on the first day to stop the seeds from taking root. They dispatched only the elite from the Order of the Galaxy to seize the initiative and gauge the enemy’s strength. However, the royal army’s response was flawless.
“Heavy infantry, forward!”
Heavily armored soldiers stepped into the front line, holding massive shields that were ten centimeters thick and nearly the size of an adult man. That wasn’t all. The royal army piled multiple layers of sandbags, advancing while erecting makeshift defensive walls.
The Galaxy Knights scoffed at the sight of the royal army raising shields.
“Fire Leo Archery!”
