Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The group led by Wu Lun was dumbfounded. How come they hadn’t encountered such an attack before?

A vague suspicion began to form in their minds. Could it be that what Ji Chen had shown earlier wasn’t his full power?

Spells with blue-glowing arrows continuously emerged from the mist.

The grassy area, only a few hundred meters wide, was bombarded by spells like the Normandy landing, with magical arrows falling like raindrops and exploding with frenzied energy upon impact.

A Minotaur warrior and a Blood Wolf were blown to pieces on their charge, rising into the air amidst the dust and debris.

In the brief moment of shock, casualties began to mount.

Zunong’s face grew darker. He hadn’t expected Ji Chen to have such firepower. Even the Minotaur warriors couldn’t withstand this kind of magical bombardment. But he also knew that they couldn’t stop now.

This was the time to keep charging. Only by letting the Minotaur warriors and Blood Wolves charge into the abandoned town to distract the enemy could the following forces avoid being harassed.

Although the damage caused by the magical arrows was astonishing, there was a cooldown between each release. The Minotaur warriors quickly noticed this and took advantage of the intervals to hide behind scattered deadwood and rocks.

While this couldn’t completely negate the power of the bombardment, it slowed it down significantly, enough to prevent them from being wiped out in a single round.

However, as they once again endured the bombardment and continued running with awkward steps, a new wave of arrow rain suddenly appeared in the mist. Compared to the magical arrows, these were thinner, with a faint blue spiral tail.

The Minotaur warriors, who were focused on charging, were caught off guard and turned into sieves.

Zunong’s face grew even darker, and there was anger in his tone.

“Bring up the bed crossbows and catapults for me.”

One of his trusted subordinates nodded and waved to the rear.

Soon, dozens of catapults and heavy bed crossbows were pulled up by giant bulls with long horns, arranged in a single-file formation on the high ground.

“Target the outer edge of the abandoned town, adjust the parameters.”

“Parameters adjusted!”

“Load the ammunition.”

“Ammunition loaded!”

Watching his subordinates cleanly and efficiently complete the firing preparations, Zunong’s expression improved slightly. He slowly raised his hand and then waved it down abruptly.

“Fire!”

The sound of the bowstrings being released suddenly rang out, and hundreds of thick and long crossbow bolts, along with over a hundred half-head-sized stones, shot out and fell into the dense fog.

The previously intense arrow rain suddenly cleared.

Zunong’s expression showed a hint of satisfaction, knowing that the enemy’s long-range firepower had been affected. He shouted loudly.

“Infantry of a thousand, accelerate forward!”

“Crossbowmen of a thousand, provide fire support as soon as you reach range!”

The Minotaur warriors, who had been wounded by the arrow rain earlier, now saw that the enemy’s firepower had suddenly diminished. They roared in anger and put all their strength into their legs, charging forward.

They would use their axes to chop these damn enemies who only knew how to shoot arrows from hiding in the fog into two!

The heavy infantry unit and crossbowmen unit that had been waiting all this time finally began to move.

Under the cover of bed crossbows and catapults, they slowly advanced towards the small town.

When three groups of crossbowmen with a thousand men each reached firing range, they immediately loaded their crossbows and, under the command, all released their triggers at once.

The spectacle of the arrow rain formed by three thousand crossbow bolts was quite impressive. The sky seemed to have a black cloud descending as if even the dense fog had been pierced.

Under such an onslaught, the hidden firepower within the mist suddenly faltered, and right after that, Minotaur warriors and Blood Wolves plunged into the small town, disappearing into the fog.

Seeing this scene, Zunong also relaxed.

The battle was decided.

As long as they closed the distance and prevented Ji Chen’s long-range firepower from taking effect, the Minotaur warriors, invincible in close combat with the support of the Blood Wolves, would surely be able to pierce through the enemy lines. Then the heavy infantry and crossbowmen could come in to finish the job.

Yes, it was perfect.

Seeing Zunong looking relaxed and content, Wu Lun couldn’t help but remind him.

“Lord Zunong, it’s impossible for Ji Chen to be so easily dealt with. We sent tens of thousands of troops to attack before, and we couldn’t even make a dent.”

“That’s because it’s you guys.” Zunong sneered. “All of us in the Wasteland Guild are elite troops, not like your trashy units.”

Wu Lun and his companions were furious but chose to keep their anger to themselves. In their hearts, they silently cursed Zunong and wished he could fall under Ji Chen, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of lives before he realized the gravity of the situation.

But they didn’t believe that Ji Chen could survive under the encroachment of the Wasteland Guild’s hundreds of thousands of troops.

Today, this player who had caught the attention of the Bass Kingdom was likely to meet his end in this abandoned town.

However, it wasn’t in vain for Ji Chen to come to this world, considering that he could make so many people care about him.

Nevertheless, they noticed that Zunong’s expression was visibly souring, as if he had just witnessed something unfavorable.

In Zunong’s line of sight, the system was sending a flurry of notifications.

The Minotaur warriors who had charged into the abandoned town were being slaughtered in large numbers.

Damn it, how could this be different from what he had expected!?

Wasn’t it supposed to be the Minotaur warriors slaughtering the enemy on their own?

Remembering what he said to Wu Lun and his group earlier, Zunong felt like his face was on fire, and he said with a fierce tone.

“A thousand-strong heavy infantry, get in there as soon as possible and help the thousand-strong Minotaur warriors tear through the enemy lines!”

In the small town.

One-sided slaughter was indeed taking place, but it was the Naga Guardians unilaterally slaughtering the Minotaur warriors. The former had a tier as high as Tier 5 3-star, while the latter were only Tier 4 7-star. In between, there was a one-tier difference and a 7-star disparity in strength, creating a vast gap in combat power..
