Chapter 139: Calamity VII
Thanks to Gerard’s efforts, Frank barely managed to catch his breath. However, the situation still couldn’t be considered advantageous.
“D*mn it, it’s coming again!”
“Prepare all troops to fire!”
Like before, when they faced the enemies, the generals gave the order to fire while watching their charge. At the same time, the Hangurian troops stationed in the citadel also prepared their attack, as the distance was now closer.
“Archers forward! Mages, stand by. Wait until the enemies come deeper!” commanded a officer entrusted with leading by Gerard.
Though he lacked exceptional fighting skills, he was an efficient officer of the army, earning Gerard’s trust for his commanding abilities.
“Launch!”
The Hangurian forts unleashed arrows, and mana all at once, following the officer’s orders. To inflict maximum damage, it was more effective to break the enemy’s momentum, and his strategy hit its mark. The Tarkics, blindsided by the narrow field of view caused by their leading troops and the wall behind the advancing army, suffered severe losses.
Right after that, the hundreds of soldiers who had gone ahead of Frank’s forces were annihilated. However, the Tarkics’ momentum did not falter. Even as comrades died before their eyes or lost limbs, they pressed forward undeterred.
