The huntresses on black panthers attacked swiftly and were so fast that the pirate spellcasters had no means to conjure an effective attack. The sparse fireballs and icicles were of no use; they dodged them easily as those black panthers were both lightning-fast and unbelievably agile.
“Quick, stop them, now!”
The sudden appearance of the elven army on his home ground shocked the one-eyed man. He split his forces into two halves, one to defend against the elven army and the other to accelerate his attack on the Wissen Castle. His split-second decision soon proved to be disastrous.
The help of the elven forces significantly boosted the morale of the remaining soldiers atop the city walls. They quickly loaded up their Pear Blossom Crossbows and fired fiercely at the pirates. Sharp arrows rained on the pirates like an endless stretch of a thunderstorm, while longbow archers targeted spellcasters who stood outside the crossbow range, one by one.
At the same time, over a hundred huntresses launched their attack as piercingly sharp arrows left their bows. Their arrows are far from ordinary — these are Light Arrows which could deal rebounding damage. When a light arrow lands on a pirate, the arrow will bounce off him to hit other targets near him. The arrow will then bounce off again and again until all energy is depleted.
When over a hundred huntresses attack at the same time, their attacks will continuously bounce off their targets. Although the damage will decrease by 50% after each rebound, the final stacked up damage can be quite horrifying. Its power was almost on par with the Pear Blossom Crossbows.
Elven archers stood behind the huntresses. The eeriest thing about them is that they would vanish around 200 yards from the pirates merging as one with the darkness. Out of nowhere, they would suddenly appear behind their backs and shoot them fatally, then disappear once more!
“Quick, shield bearers, quick!”
“Magic Barrier, now!”
… …
Unlike pirates that were usually unorganized, the pirates led by the one-eyed black-clad man were well trained, well versed and well-coordinated. They needn’t wait for the one-eyes man’s instructions, as the spellcasters had joined hands to raise an Earth Element Magic Barrier. It stopped the countless arrows showering from above, as well as the sneak arrows from the elven archers.
“Trueshot Aura!”
Sofia reached the heart of the battlefield on the back of her white tiger. She murmured for a moment, then waved her right hand. At once, be it huntresses on black panthers of elven archers holding onto angle bows, a golden ring appeared under everyone’s feet.
The huntresses and the elven archers dealt with critical damage at burst speeds. However, there was nothing much they could do when the pirates hid behind shields and magic barriers. Under the effect of the Trueshot Aura bestowed by Sofia, the Moon Priestess, the attack of their bows increased more than two folds.
Whoosh… …
After an all-blanketing aerial arrow attack, the magic barriers of the pirates finally fell apart under the heavy, relentless assaults of the elves. The shield bearers at the outer ring quickly lost their lives as mighty arrows pierced through their shields and into their fatal points, such as their skulls or hearts.
“Quick, protect the spellcasters. Kill them with magic!” ordered the one-eyes black-clad man as he saw just how dominant the elves were on the battlefield. However, it was too late!
He should have concentrated all of his attacks at the huntresses or the elven archers. If so, even if he could not injure their forces, he could at least force them to keep a distance. However, after splitting his troops, all he suffered was losses on both sides.
Relieved of the suppression from fireballs and icicles, the soldiers atop the city walls unleashed their anger with the Pear Blossom Crossbows. No matter how many pirates there are, they could not possibly breach their line of defense. Coupled with the almost insane targeted shootings by the longbow archers, spellcasters who could not dodge the attacks were all shot to death one after another.
At the same time, the invisible elven archers focused on attacking the remaining half of the spellcasters. Spellcasters are naturally slower than warriors by more than two times. They had only a thin layer of armor to protect their physical bodies. Those light armors could not hold against the sharp arrows of the elven archers.
If the huntresses and elven archers brought intense suffering to the pirates, the Druids that quickly followed scared them out of their wits.
A dozen druids let out deafening howls as they promptly evolved into a five-meter tall raging bear. A slam of their paws and a muscular pirate would be crushed into meat pie; if they caught you by the legs, they would tear you into half!
A massive body, razor claws, and an astounding defense… …
Raging and blood-thirsty druids charged into the pirates like a meat mincer, cutting through their formation like a sharp knife. Their formation soon fell apart.
“Everybody attack!”
As soon as he saw the pirates demolished by the elven army, the City Defense Commander took the chance immediately. He led the soldiers on horsebacks and charged out with a long whistle. The Pear Blossom Crossbows firing at near distances claimed the lives of many pirates. They could not even dodge the arrows, much less counterattacking.
“Wissen Castle. I will be back!”
The one-eyed black-clad man looked at the fearsome elven army, then turned to the unstoppable cavalry that just emerged from the Wissen castle. He understood that he had lost. He gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat. Under the protection of the tens of guards that remained, they went straight for the Donau River.
“Kill, kill them all!”
“Quick, don’t let them get away!”
… …
How could the red-eyed soldiers let the pirates off, upon seeing how they tried to flee? They all climbed onto their horses and gave chase. There was no time to reload their crossbows, and so they tied the Pear Blossom Crossbows to their waists and unsheathed their sabers. They caught up to the pirates on horseback, then slashed down forcefully, sending bloodied heads rolling.
The cavalry may be quick, but the elves weren’t any slower. A few druids transformed from a raging bear to a storm crow. Swoosh! They chased after the running pirates and spat out a ball of fire, locking their target at the pirate leader.
“Ferocious Beast Druids? Hell, where did the elves come from?”
Unable to shake off the storm crow that kept spitting fire at them, the one-eyed black-clad man was both angry and terrified.
According to the intelligence that he gathered, Yang Ling had transferred most of his elite forces out of the Wissen Castle. Then, the City Defense Commander fell for his trick and dispatched a large number of soldiers to the Astana outpost. Add them together, and that leaves a Wissen Castle with an inadequate defense.
Who would have known that this precious chance that he waited for months would be destroyed by some elven army that appeared out of nowhere? Most importantly, he had no idea that they were this scary!
Huntresses, elven archers, clawed druids, and Ferocious Beast Druids, even Mountain Giants that are rarely seen… …
Could they be the Royal Elven Guards?
The one-eyed black-clad man, or should we say Emmond, turned back in bewilderment as he fled. On the continent, places with the most magical beasts are the Terras Forest, Magical Beasts Mountains and the Forest of Fog. Legend has it that the Royal Elves lived in the depths of the Forest of Fog. Why would they suddenly appear in Terras Forest? If they weren’t Royal Elven Guards, why would there be so many terrifying druids and mountain giants?
“Kill them, don’t let them run away!”
“Kill those filthy pirates, every last one of them!”
… …
Just as one-eyed Emmond was spacing out, a large group of people suddenly charged out from the front. There are hunters on the backs of magical beasts, villagers with axes in their hands…the people came over to fend off the pirates once they heard that the Wissen Castle was under siege.
There was nowhere to run. What should he do?
Don’t tell him that he must use that final move?
On his tail, the soldiers and elves chased him relentlessly; in his front, hunters and civilians blocked his way. Emmond bit the bullet and pulled out a black pearl from his chest pocket. He said something under his breath and crushed the pearl. He wouldn’t want to summon those monsters, as it meant being their servant forever. However, he had no choice.
The moment he crushed the black pearl, a thick black fog surrounded the area and began to spread. It spread to the Donau River very quickly. It was pitch dark inside; they could not see anything, though they could hear the sounds of something bellowing. No one dared to barge into the fog.
When the elven spellcasters arrived and dispelled the thick fog with wind magic, the pirate leader, and his men had long disappeared. People found nothing except for that long claw marks that extended to the riverbank.
“An elven Priestess on the back of a white tiger! She looks strong and beautiful. To think that she has so many powerful followers!”
“Of course! Miss Sofia will be the future Lady of the Magical Beast Realm!”
“Future Lady? Then… …what about Miss Yuna?”
… …
People began to chatter as they saw the huntresses on black panthers. The elven archers showed themselves as ferocious beast druids once again transformed into storm crows to scan the Donau River. Very soon, people recognized the long-haired Elf who directed the operation atop the back of a white tiger, beautiful Sofia.
Miss Yuna?
The future Lady of the Magical Beast Realm?
A casual remark sounds significant to a suspicious listener. Sofia realized that a lot must have happened when she was away after.
After being baptized in the Divine Temple, Sofia became a Moon Priestess without any hiccups. With her followers and the Royal Guards, she hurried back to Wissen Town, as she simply couldn’t wait to share her joy with Yang Ling. She didn’t expect to meet those pirates launching a sneak attack, and most definitely did not think to expect that Yang Ling might have another lover when she was away!
“Grandpa Murbaqi, who is Miss Yuna?” Sofia rushed to the old butler Murbaqi.
Miss Yuna?
Old butler Murbaqi could only shake his head as he saw the high-spirited Sofia looking like she was about to cry. He’ll leave this tough question for Yang Ling to answer. The messenger has long left, and he reckoned that Yang Ling would be back soon!
The huntresses on black panthers attacked swiftly and were so fast that the pirate spellcasters had no means to conjure an effective attack. The sparse fireballs and icicles were of no use; they dodged them easily as those black panthers were both lightning-fast and unbelievably agile.
