Chapter 346: River of Blood, Mountain of Screams (9)
What Rajis had blocked was indeed an arrow, but something was different.
It’s not aura or mana. What kind of power is this?
It wasn’t an arrow physically made of some material. It was an arrow made of energy, something unfamiliar even to Rajis. He was left confused since he didn’t know the power was Ein, a perfect power that combined only the strengths of aura and mana.
There was no time to analyze or to grieve over the dead strategist. The arrows started pouring even more fiercely as if the barrage had just begun.
“Aaaagh!”
“W-where are they?! Where is the enemy?!"
“Block them using amantir shields! Steel shields aren’t enough to stop them!”
Perhaps the target of the arrows hadn’t only been Rajis, as screams could be heard from outside as people collapsed one after another.
As a Prime, Rajis quickly adapted to the arrows and blocked them. Then he stepped out of the tent and soon witnessed hell unfolding in front of him. Those who had been healthy just an hour ago and filled with fighting spirit were now corpses lying all across the ground. The blood they shed pooled into puddles. There were more dead than living. The ones still alive trampled through the pools of blood as they ran, trying to avoid the arrows pouring from the sky.
The sound of blood being splashed echoed around Rajis’s ears. For a moment, he felt as if he might lose his sanity. If it weren’t for the voice of the aide calling beside him, Rajis would have been pierced by an arrow.
“Commander, Commander!”
Snapping back to his senses, Rajis deflected the arrow and looked to the side. The aide, a five-star Master, was covered in wounds from head to toe.
