Chapter 20: Sharpshooter

Victor stood on the hillside on one side of the valley and looked at the fighting in the valley.

The instinct of survival makes these cunning and ferocious gnolls burst out with amazing strength. They run, jump, rush, roar violently, and launch fierce attacks on all creatures that block their escape, including their own kind.

However, these are all in vain.

Human beings may not be as strong as jackals, but their sophisticated equipment and close cooperation make these well-trained soldiers as terrifying as killing machines.

The crossbowmen fired powerful arrows at the lone gnolls, and the spearmen worked in groups of three to stab the injured gnolls to death, while the infantry wearing mail and holding shields vigilantly paid attention to the surrounding grass.

When there are gnolls threatening soldiers who are not good at close combat, these elite soldiers will let the gnolls know what despair is.

And when facing a powerful knight, a strong jackal is as vulnerable as a scarecrow.

Victor saw that Bruce's trainee knight Cavin used a long sword to split a jackal in half from shoulder to hip. The huge wind pressure brought by the long sword made the weeds half a man tall bend down in all directions.

Pour it over to form a 2-meter circle on the ground.

"There are a total of 39 gnolls, 6 hyenas, 42 goblins and 23 kobolds. 11 gnolls have been killed." Victor said softly, with the assistance of x-3.

Ke Duo accurately reported the data within his sight range.

"My lord, you are right!" One-eyed Gru said to him from the side. In fact, he didn't know whether Victor was right or not.

Gru and several powerful guards are by Victor's side. They will be responsible for protecting the safety of their lords, while Master Edwin stayed in the castle at Bruce's request. He was originally responsible for protecting the White Tower scholars.

Nicole is standing next to Victor right now.

This beautiful female trainee knight was wearing a silver-white female scale armor, carrying a long sword and a buckler in her hands, and her hair was simply tied back. She looked heroic.

"Gru, bring me a heavy crossbow." Although Victor couldn't go down to fight the jackals, he didn't want to just be a bystander.

Gru glanced at Nicole with some embarrassment, and Nicole quickly persuaded Victor softly: "Victor, our soldiers are everywhere on the battlefield, and heavy crossbows are difficult to operate. If one of our people is injured,

It’s not good, what do you think?”

"Don't worry, I will never shoot where there are people. Besides, you can also guide me, right?" Victor smiled at Nicole.

The ethereal temperament and elegant demeanor brought by the blood of the moon elf have a great attraction for Nicole, and she cannot bear to refuse Victor's request.

"Okay, but you have to shoot under my guidance."

A military heavy crossbow was brought over. This powerful weapon can shoot arrows 300 meters away, and can even penetrate targets wearing mail within 100 meters. However, the heavy weight of the heavy crossbow makes it impossible for most people to

Achieve accurate shooting.

After Gru used a winch to push a pure steel crossbow arrow into the shooting slot, he handed the heavy crossbow into Victor's hands. Nicole stayed close to Victor's body and held Victor's arm with her hands.

The crossbow arrow was pointed at a jackal who was surrounded by no one. This intimate gesture made the knight lady blush and her heart beat.

Over-limit activation, wind speed, distance, the speed and path of the Jackal's movement, these data were constantly refreshed in Victor's eyes. After receiving Nicole's signal, Victor fired a crossbow arrow.

The sharp arrow shot directly through the Gnoll's shoulder. The strong force caused the Gnoll to turn over, but driven by the desire to escape, the strong Gnoll ignored the arrow on his shoulder and got up and continued to run away.

"Nice shot!" Gru praised loudly without losing any opportunity.

Victor shook his head dissatisfied. He originally aimed at the Jackal's head, but the first shot was not enough to understand the performance of this heavy crossbow. In addition, Nicole's interference made his shooting movements somewhat deformed.

"Do it again." Victor ordered Gru.

The heavy crossbow was loaded again, and before Nicole could hold Victor's hand, Victor pulled the trigger of the heavy crossbow.

The pure steel crossbow arrow shot through the head of the jackal from a distance of a hundred meters, causing him to fall to the ground and die instantly.

It was like a wild shot that stunned everyone. Even Gru forgot to take the opportunity to flatter Victor.

If this arrow was just a coincidence, then Victor's next shot made everyone deny this idea.

Every powerful crossbow arrow fired by Victor took away the life of a jackal, and all of them were hit in the head. If Nicole and the guards could get closer, they would be even more surprised to find that most of these arrows were shot in the head.

Pierced through the gnoll's eyes or ears.

The soldiers fighting below had a deeper understanding of this.

George is an elite infantryman under Baron Esric. He is responsible for protecting the safety of crossbowmen and spearmen, but the long wormwood has caused him a lot of trouble. He must always pay attention to what is going on around his companions.

, which caused him to neglect his own safety.

A strong jackal in the grass pounced on the soldier when he wasn't paying attention.

The Jackal's surprise attack made George panic, but he was well-trained and used the shield in his hand to block the Jackal's claws the moment he was knocked down, and stabbed the short spear in his opponent's ribs hard.

.

This kind of damage was not enough to kill a strong jackal immediately, but the severe pain made the jackal even more crazy. It opened its bloody mouth full of sharp fangs and bit George's face. The smelly breath made George smell it.

To the breath of death.

However, the expected pain did not occur. When George was helped up from under the Jackal by his companions, they were shocked to find that the Jackal's head was hit by a long crossbow arrow.

Through the ear hole, it is dead.

This arrow made everyone around Victor couldn't help but open their mouths, even the beautiful Miss Nicole, and it also made Broken Ya hidden in the grass feel cold in his heart.

As a ferocious gnoll, Broken Fang is far smarter than his peers.

After the battle started, Broken Tooth took advantage of the chaos and plunged into the deep grass. The breeze surrounded its body, allowing it to sneak silently in the grass and slide towards the hillside on the side of the valley.

Run up the hillside and climb over the entire hill to escape the encirclement of the human army. This is what many jackals think. However, once they leave the cover of the weeds, the human archers will use dense arrows to tell them that this idea is valid.

How stupid.

But Broken Fang doesn't care. Climbing uphill will slow down the gnoll's escape speed, but it won't cause Broken Fang any trouble. The affinity with the wind element not only makes it move quickly and quickly, but also gives it a sharper perception. It can do

Before the arrow hits, dodge in advance.

Even if it can't dodge all the arrows, the breeze surrounding it can weaken the power of the arrows. As long as it avoids its vital parts and doesn't get hit, it can completely escape this encirclement and suppression.

During this process, you may suffer some injuries, but it will never be fatal. You can completely escape by relying on your super physical fitness and amazing speed. This is Broken Tooth's idea.

The sharpshooter who appeared on the hillside made Broken Ya despair.

Perhaps Broken Tooth can withstand the shooting of ordinary crossbows, but it definitely does not include military heavy crossbows. It saw with its own eyes that a crossbow arrow shot from the hillside penetrated the head of an unlucky guy, and the powerful force carried a 300-pound guy flying

One meter away, a crossbow arrow made of pure steel nailed the guy's head to the ground.

If there was only Victor as an archer, Broken Tooth wouldn't be worried, but if he had to guard against such a terrible shot amid the dense arrows, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Broken Tooth decided to avoid Victor's sight and escape from a safe place, but the smaller and smaller encirclement made its plan fail.

So Broken Tooth decided to take the risk.

Since you can't escape the strike of this marksman on the hillside no matter where you are, you can only get closer to this marksman and find another opportunity to kill or seriously injure this marksman. Otherwise, even if you can escape from the hillside beside him,

You will also expose your back to this scary guy, so you must kill him!

Broken Tooth saw the guards around Victor, including a powerful Tin Woodman, but it was only a human female.

Human females are always weak in the impression of broken teeth. When they see a Gnoll, they always scream in fear and run away in panic. This always arouses the Gnoll's strong appetite.

This cognitive bias gave Broken Tooth a little more confidence, but in fact it had no choice.

Broken Tooth cautiously moved towards the hillside where Victor was in the grass, and lurked in the grass at the foot of the hillside and waited quietly.

It is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity created by Hogg.
